A serious illness is any health condition with a high risk of mortality, and it could develop into a terminal illness. Whether you've received a diagnosis or you're helping a loved one, there are many unique concerns.
Cancer is a disease in which abnormal cells grow and spread to other parts of the body, ultimately destroying body tissue. Because there are many different types of cancer, treatment options, and stages, it's important to be prepared for any potential uncertainties. Whether you've received a diagnosis yourself or you're helping a loved one, you're not in this alone. Cancer can be difficult and scary, but you always have options.

A terminal illness or end-stage disease is a condition that cannot be cured. This is expected to cause a patient's death, and it's sometimes called a life-limiting illness. Progressive diseases like cancer or advanced heart disease are the most common types of terminal illness, and these require patients to make important decisions about their end-of-life plans, advanced care, and legacy. Whether you're dealing with a diagnosis or helping a loved one, you're not alone.
