We'll find The Cure!

Cancer has been one of the deadliest diseases in the entire world. It has claimed the lives of quite a number of my relatives and it hasn't stopped yet. Most of them are suffering quite a lot but would want to keep quiet so as to not bother our other relatives. I've seen my own grandma go through this too and there are a lot of things I had to understand and why she had it. First is Environmental Causes. Things that you eat breathe and live in could cause immediate symptoms of Cancer. There are toxic substances like asbestos which can cause malignant lung disease of this kind and nobody knows why some countries still allow this kind of material used for different things like construction, manufacturing and building. The twin towers for example had its first forty floors smitten with it; and that caused intoxication of if not hundreds but thousands of people in New York when it collapsed. It is even said that they suffocated then some died later on because of its ill effects. If only there were mesothelioma cure available worldwide; it would immediately get this to stop... this place would be better.


I don't want to be a statistic and I'll try my best to eliminate the environmental possibilities of getting Cancer. If in case it would be the second cause which is genetics, if it starts playing this game I'd still try to contribute for research as much as I can. There are on line organizations that I can join that exactly does just that. If countries come together and fight this awful disease we would pretty soon have something that could cure us. This was the same case with cervical cancer a few years ago. Today we are optimistic that the vaccine for the virus can take care of the millions of women greatly affected by it. We can all beat cancer if we cooperate and share information with the rest of the world. We'll find the cure!

The Cure: Early Prognosis

I have been witness to a lot of deaths this week that I'm a little emotional. I know how hard it is to lose someone very dear to you and the things that cancer brings. Some of them are incurable; some of them need so much medical attention that even if they live a few years they will use so much money until they get into the brink of poverty... or worse debt. The people they love and know will also be burdened and on most cases you have no choice. It is either that or death; so the choices are pretty much nothing. This is the plight of most that fall victim to environmentally hazardous substances such as asbestos. If there is no mesothelioma prognosis then it would be doubly hard to deal with cancer. Without early detection and the right treatment symptoms would be close to impossible to signify any improvement on one's overall health. I have friends and family who passed away of cancer and this is serious. The number 2 killer in our country is getting worse because of the lack of information and technology to battle it.

Poverty should not be an excuse to treat people and so does the lack of insurance. Coverage of these hard to battle sicknesses is one thing and the other is the actual realization of how precious life can be. It would be easier to deal with this if we had the right tools. Diagnosis is one of the steps that anybody going through this should endure. I would like help educate people on the hazards of living in old houses that have asbestos in their cement and paints. Unfortunately this was the trend years ago and a lot of the houses built with it are still standing now. I hope the community and government work together to eradicate chances of having this condition. It all starts with us. We have to learn and see to it that everyone gets proper care. We owe it to the next generation because it wasn't their fault that it got there in the first place.
