Secure Yourself with Cancer Care Insurance this World Rose Day
September 24, 2018

Cancer is one of the most dreaded diseases to ever plague mankind and takes a heavy toll on the victims and their families. The treatment process of cancer is extensive and long drawn – with various therapies and intensive medical sessions involved right from the stage of diagnosis. Add to this the heavy costs of treatment and medicines and you will understand that cancer treatment is detrimental-not just to the victim’s physical and emotional health, but also to the financial well being of the entire family.

Depending on the severity of the disease, the treatment costs vary and there have been instances when the family has had to arrange funds for the treatment, at the cost of financial future. 

What exactly is this disease and how is it caused? Cancer is basically a malignant cell growth and is caused by mutations to the DNA within the cells. This means that a gene mutation can cause a healthy cell to allow rapid growth of the structure. This leads to the cell growth acquiring the form of tumors. There are several causes of such gene mutations – obesity, chronic stress, unhealthy lifestyle, drugs/alcohol abuse, smoking, intake of carcinogens (i.e. cancer-causing substances), lack of physical exercise, pollution etc.

Symptoms may include – nausea, weakness, diarrhea or constipation, unexplained weight loss/gain, painful lumps, chemical changes in the body etc. Moreover, the cancerous growth can spread to other parts of the body or there can be even relapses in patients who undergo treatment. Cancer is a major killer disease across the globe and India and even after significant medical advancement in cancer care, treatment remains expensive and it takes a long time for the patient to fully recover.

Life, by its very nature is unpredictable and one must remain prepared at all times. Insurance is one manner in which the financial aspect can be covered and it can be ensured that the hard-earned monetary resources are safeguarded. However, merely by taking out a general, non-specific insurance plan, the true financial strength cannot be guaranteed. Such broad coverage plans do not cover the full or the auxiliary costs involved in the complete procedure for treatment. Therefore, taking out specific, Health insurance for cancer patients a much better option as it covers the all such expenses – right from the time of diagnosis until eventual recuperation. 

The importance of taking out a cancer care insurance policy cannot be understated as it ensures that your finances remain safe in case of any cancer-related contingency and the future of your loved ones remains secure at all times. HDFC Life presents HDFC Life Cancer Care – a plan that has been formulated keeping in view your economic safety and security.
