Disease Analysis: Cancer

But instead of finding ways to prevent or cure cancer they pour all their funding into treating cancer. Why would they want to get rid of this money machine? The “Cancer Machine” rakes in loads of cash from chemotherapy drugs, radiotherapy, diagnostic procedures, and surgeries. The typical cancer patient will spend around 50,000 dollars fighting the disease, but if the cancer industry allows a cure then their patient base goes away along with all their funding. It makes more sense for them to keep their patients alive, but sick and coming back for more. A crazy statistic points out that “two out of three cancer patients will be dead within five years after receiving all or part of the standard cancer treatment…” It makes you wonder as to how well is this “cancer treatment”

Cancer is a word that no one wants to hear or think about, however there are many people

Cancer is a deadly disease that has some very serious effects on a person both physically and mentally. Cancer can result in a simple surgery that may take only a couple days, or a life-long struggle that leaves someone so fatigued and tired that it makes them want to give up. It will put fear in anyone's eyes and will devastate even the strongest of people, but cancer can bring out the courageousness in a person to fight this disease and not give up. It can be a fatal disease but it can also bring out the strength in someone which is an amazing thing. Cancer has many serious effects on a person's body and their mental health and others, but can also inspire a person to dig deep and fight this disease

Barbara Ehrenreich, Audre Lorde, and Meri Nana-Ama Danquah’s illness narratives do more than recount stories of illness. The narratives depict resistance to normalization or becoming normate by making visible the larger structural inequities. The narratives are showing how the systems that are supposed to aid and heal those who are ill, but are actually reinforcing the inequities.

every cancer patient is given hope because now doctors are coming up with medicine that can give a

Finding a panacea for cancer will be an arduous task with a very lengthy and discouraging trial and error period. Inevitably there will be some trying hurdles to get past in search of this cancer panacea, but, one that seems to be the most difficult to get passed is the severity and variety of the case presented. Doctors see this as overwhelming and very daunting since they do not want to get a patient’s hopes up if the medicine turns out not to work, or cause things to get worse. If doctors believe they have found this new and astonishing drug that cures all cancer at all stages and they prescribe it but turns out to only make the cancer worse, they will have to live knowing that they hurt all of these people and their families forever. In

Studies indicate that over the last decade, the number of people suffering from cancer has increasingly gone higher. Cancer is a disease that brings fear upon its victims, especially when its diagnosis is made late. Needless to say, many people die from the fear rather than the disease itself. Medical practitioners do not term cancer as a disease but as a lifestyle condition. People may not be able to completely cure the cancer (depending on the type or stage of cancer) but they may change their perception or lifestyle, and thus be able to reduce the anticipated results.

There are different types of cancers. There is Leukemia, Breast cancer, Throat Cancer, and more. Then, theres the cancers that not a lot of people think about. Cancers that exist, but are unknown to most people. They are very rare and not a lot of people have it, but it’s still there affecting people in the same ways, even worse, that any known cancer affects people. One of the is Central Nervous System AT/RT Cancer.

Tumor profiling is another form of advancement to help cure breast cancer. Tumor profiling allows researchers to better understand the genes in cancer cells. In this article found on the Susan G. Koman website, the ability to profile thousands of genes found in tumors is helpful in determining how likely breast cancer will reoccur and probable treatment. “The gene profiles of some tumors may help predict whether the cancer is more likely to recur and metastasize. Tumors with gene profiles showing a high risk of breast cancer recurrence or metastasis may be more likely to benefit from chemotherapy than tumors with gene profiles showing a low risk” (Susan G. Koman).

Americans are intelligent and inventive, we could figure out how to send a human to walk the moon when it was thought impossible, animals have been cloned and have survived. I find it peculiar that there has not been a cure for cancer thus far. There has been years of research and money raised for research to fight for a cure. According to the article, Why Medicine Won't Allow Cancer to Be Cured, (www.whynottryit.com) Western medicine is not closer to the discovery for finding a cure of cancer. Cancer has grown widespread in astonishing amounts. “According to the CDC, about 1,660,290 (1.66 million) new cancer cases are expected to be diagnosed in 2013”. (www.whynottryit.com)

Cancer is figured to be the second leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. With approximately 14 million new cases and 8.2 million cancer related deaths in 2012, alone .Why are so many people stuck suffering with this deadly disease? Millions of dollars have been invested into cancer research, yet there is no cure. Are these pharmaceutical companies focus on finding a cure for cancer or concentrating on elongated treatments in order to lengthen their pockets? We must first understand that cancer is big business earning huge profits. Nonetheless, the cancer industry is spending virtually zilch of its multi-billion dollar resources on effective prevention strategies, like dietary guidelines, exercise, natural remedies and herbs proven to cure cancer. Instead, it pours its money into treating cancer, not preventing or allaying it.

Cancer. We all know someone who has suffered from it or has passed away because of it. Cancer now affects one in every three people, and is the second highest cause of death in the United States. For decades, the medical community has been on the hunt for a cure for cancer, and have been subjected to intense ridicule from the public because of a lack of progression toward a possible cure. In recent years, many scientists, doctors, researchers, and the general public have come to believe that the cure for cancer is being suppressed because of this lack of progress. Those who say it is suppressed claim that the drugs used to treat cancer actually cause cancer, making a patient sicker and sicker. As a result, the patients are forced to spend

Cancer is a disease that can change the life of a person no matter their age or nationality. Cancer can range from being life threatening to a low risk of death. Cancer cells are cells that do not follow the regular cell growth and division pattern. They go through cell division and produce rapidly. Cancer cells differ from regulating cells in the body because normal cells eventually die. Cancer cells, on the other hand, do not die when they should causing it to be very hard to cure cancer in your body.

My question being why is cancer becoming more common in firefighters and what are we going to do to help this situation? It’s not a faceless issue...it’s an issue affecting the heroes that put their lives on the line everyday serving and saving others. Now the lives of our firefighters are at risk and they need help.

The disease known to humankind that I hate the most is cancer. Most of the time it doesn’t have any cure. A lot of people worry themselves about the disease they have. Cancer can have an abnormal growth of cells. Cancer treatment may include but not limited to chemotherapy, radiation, and or surgery. If cancer is caught early enough it can be diagnosed and treated. To confirm the diagnosis of cancer, sometimes a biopsy needs to be performed. Cancer diagnosis begins with a physical exam and a complete medical history. It doesn’t matter what kind of cancer it is I don’t like it. My uncle has been diagnosed with brain cancer. It has set up on his motor skills on the right side of his brain.
