Summary:
What terminal cancer is.
Terminal cancer refers to an untreatable or incurable cancer. Some even call it end-stage or last-stage cancer. Any cancer can progress to a fatal stage; at this point, death is inevitable.

How it all started with Maria.
Maria's problems began when her hands began to itch incessantly. She stated, "I had gallstones a few years ago and had my gallbladder removed, but prior to that, I had never experienced any health issues." Furthermore, she lamented, "During the lockdown, I had cracked hands and was required to wear gloves."

What does medical science have to say about Maria’s diagnosis?
Her extremely rare form of bile duct cancer has almost no treatment options, and the National Health Service in the U.K. does not provide coverage (NHS).

This form of cancer affects the ducts in the digestive tract that convey bile, a digestive fluid required to break down lipids and connect the organs in the digestive tract. One of Maria's symptoms was that her hands were dry and itchy. Other warning indicators were yellowing of the skin or the whites of the eyes (jaundice), black urine, paler feces than usual, and fatigue.

Let’s see what oncologists have to say.
Although oncologists have some say in the treatment plan for patients with terminal cancer, in many cases, the decision comes down to the patient's preferences.

Are there alternative medical procedures that may act as a momentary rest?
Alternative medicines have the potential to be helpful for cancer patients in their later stages. Acupuncture, massage therapy, and other relaxation treatments can assist in easing pain and discomfort, and there is a possibility that they can also help reduce stress.
