After a lengthy battle, Christoph Daum surrenders to lung cancer. The foremost signs of the disorder often occur late.
Cologne – Football coach Christoph Daum has mislaid his fight with cancer. At the year 70, Daum passed on Saturday (24 August) from the results of his severe lung cancer. Daum had battled the condition for better than two years – and did not show up until the future. The earlier the cancer is caught, the more useful the possibilities of a cure. However, the signs of lung cancer are insidious and usually do not occur until late.
What are the Symptoms?
It is one of the “prognostically negative tumors,” this statement was made at the Robert Koch Institute in the Center for Cancer Registry Data. The comparative 5-year survival speed is 25 percent for females and 19 percent for males. This means that just one in four females and one in five men are always alive five years behind diagnosis. The insidious item is that when the signs appear, the cancer is usually already at an avant-garde stage. Potential symptoms include:
- Bloody or bloodless sputum
- Pain in the chest
- Chronic cough that may vary over time
- Persistent, acute cough that remains for more than 2 weeks even after consuming the antibiotics
- Bone pain
- Wheezing and critical shortness of breath
- Fever attacks and evening sweats
- Fatigue
- Undesirable weight loss
- Hoarseness
- Difficulty consuming
- Drumstick fingers, i.e. a thickening of the fingertips
Anyone mourning from weight loss, coughing, chest or bone pain, or shortness of breath, should urgently see a physician, announces the German Cancer Research Center. This is particularly valid for smokers or ex-smokers. “Tobacco consumption is the major risk element for lung cancer. In males, up to nine out of ten patients, and in females at least six out of ten points can be drafted back to busy smoking,” states the RKI.
Lung cancer “Chose the Wrong Body”
Daum passed “peacefully covered by his family,” according to a message from his family, as said by German Press Agency. In January of this year, the retired coach had undergone 20 chemotherapy medicines, as noted by the Welt. “It’s not bringing better,” the Kölner Express mentioned the former champ coach as speaking. Daum still kept a natural view of the condition. “Cancer is insidious, and it can burst in the body. Then you’re in danger,” the departed at the age of 70 once told, by Kölner Express.
Nevertheless, he stayed aggressive until the future. “Cancer picked the sinful body,” was Daum’s body transmission for a lengthy time, as ZDF said. His battle spirit should even inspire other individuals. “You can fall. It doesn’t count how frequently you fall. You only have to maintain bringing up,” the retired trainer said.
Hoeneß, who was once Daum’s opponent, said goodbye to his one-time opponent in press freedom with inspirational words: “He battled bravely against his condition and gave boldness to many of those impacted by his open path to the issue. In the future, he was incapable of winning the last battle, while German football will recognize him as someone who always shared his all – for his associations, his groups, and far beyond.”
