Cancer
Cancer...I might as well of said a four letter word. Cancer is in some cases is a topic less discussed than infidelity in a marriage. It is definitely something most people don't think about until it is to late. For instance the smokers who still smoke even though they know the risk they are putting themselves into. Or the sun worshiping individuals who believe sun block will give them a skin disease. With all the evidence in today's world I still find it surprising most people don't know the basic definition for Cancer, an uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells.
While most assume that having cancer means a death sentence there are new and innovative technologies which are paving the way for it just to be a speed bump in the road of life. Even though there are more ways to cure cancer, a huge part of this struggle is to do as much prevention as possible. Not smoking and sun tanning is a great way to start but, you should also focus on what is at home if your refrigerator as well. With a ever increasing mortality rate from cancer in obese men and women, a healthy lifestyle with nutrition and exercise is an extremely important step in to prevention of cancer.
Cancer is something which use to scare me, I assumed it was as bad as the plague. It wasn't until someone very close and helpless was diagnosed with cancer, I decided to stop being afraid of this "disease" and learn how to prevent and beat it! This is what brings me to this class. This is the beginning of my road in helping find a way to prevent and cure cancer with research and development focusing on adolescent cancer and chemo therapy. Even though most childhood cancers are not preventable there are ways to make more success stories and a lower mortality rate from risk of infection. I don't believe when a child survives it is just luck I feel it is someone's hard work and dedication which saved that life. With the ever advancing medical technology I truly feel there is a way to maybe not cure all cancer but to put up a winning fight against it.
