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

Cancer is a frightening topic, the National Cancer Institute states that “more women in America have died of [cancer] in the last two decades [than in WW1 and WW2 combined]”. It’s no wonder the word alone can bring anguish to many, there is still much we don’t understand about cancer. It wasn’t until recently that we began to noticed a trend of disease in my family. My grandmother Olga Losoya Suarez passed away in August of 2015 to colon cancer at the age of 75. As one can imagine this was devastating as she was the center of the family, always bringing everyone together on the holidays. Soon disaster struck again as my grandmother on my father’s side, Carolina Tovar, passed from pancreatic cancer in June of 2016 at the age of 71. Although most of the family felt a mixture of emotions, one that dominated the rest was concern. My parents, Aunts, and Uncles concerned that cancer was becoming more prominent in our family sought checkups from their doctors. My Aunt Linda informed

III. Scientists may not know right now why cancer affects certain people but they do know that it has nothing to do with age or gender.

b. Our cells are programed to know when to grow, divide, and when to die, with that said just like any other machine, if these “parts” within our DNA do not work then that is when our machine goes off track and starts breaking down.

30. Sling ‘Em Whether it’s your child, a grandchild, or you just love to hold any baby you can get hold of – do yourself a favor and put them in a sling. Hitching them to your hip only strains your back so distribute that weight as evenly as possibly. In fact, the same can be said for your shopping, while you may not be able to put it in a sling, you can distribute the weight more evenly.

According to American Cancer Society, in our bodies most people are born with two bean shaped organs, found attached to the back wall of the abdomen, these are called kidneys. As you grow in life your kidneys have multiple jobs, but the biggest job is that they act as a filter in your body. They will take in the blood and filter any substance not needed, such as excess water, salt, and other waste. Once the process of filtering anything bad begins, your kidneys will kick out what we know as urine. American Cancer Society says the kidneys will also “help keep your blood pressure controlled”, by making a hormone called, renin. Need more red blood cells? Don’t worry, your kidneys will make another hormone, known as erythropoietin, sending a message

Everyone around the world knows how bad cancer is. we all know the different types of cancer there is and trust me there is a lot.

Introduction When you have cancer, talking with your friends and family about it can be difficult. You need to decide who to tell and how much information you want to share. Being diagnosed with cancer is a very personal experience. How much you share with others is up to you. Effective communication can help you and your loved ones deal with emotions and help ensure that you get the help and support that you need.

In my eighteen years, I have many stories I could elaborate on to give you some insight into my background, and a glimpse into who I am as a student and a person. However, I want to tell you you a story I have no memory of, a story that separates me from my peers, and draws the same level of interest from you as your university has for me. See, I was born in Sacramento, CA, but unlike others that can claim the same,  I was diagnosed with a rare liver disease several weeks after my birth by the name of biliary atresia. Approximately one in twenty thousand infants come face to face with this disease upon their birth, and to make a more complex comparison, of the 318 million people who reside in these United States, only a few of the mere 15,900 could share my same story. So, what exactly is this rare disease that separates me from my peers? Well, to put it simply, it is a disease that affects the liver in such a way that bile, a digestive liquid that also carries toxins out of the body, becomes trapped, and can not leave the liver. This blockage within the bile ducts creates cirrhosis which eventually

The liver is one of the most essential and biggest inside organs. It performs an assortment of key body purposes, for example, getting rid of dangerous toxins, conveying and putting away crucial supplements, secreting bile and also making proteins imperative for blood clot. The body is able to survive for 1 to 2 days if the liver fails, which is the reason it's viewed as the second most vital organ for survival. WHAT IS LIVER CANCER? Liver cancer is fifth most basic cancer on the planet with occurrence rates of more than one million new cases every year.

During the summer of 2016 you will get some news that you never thought could have happened. Dad was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. You will always remember how it felt walking into the house and seeing mom cry, you’ll always remember her telling you about the cancer and how it’s one of the better cancers to have. Any form of cancer is scary. You’ll always remember the hurt and frustration when mom tells you that dad has to go in for his third surgery. A surgery that shouldn’t have even been needed. You have to be strong for mom and for Michael. You will have dark days, but the brighter ones are just around the corner.

One of the many of the world's problems is sickness, but some diseases have no cure which can result in death. Cancer is a code we just can’t seem to crack and it has taken hundreds of thousands of lives. Everyone knows of someone who has died of or had cancer in their life. It’s a hard sickness to beat but many strong people do beat it, some being children. I have personally seen my family members go through this and of course, some didn’t make it out alive. If you have seen anyone who has cancer, you’ll see how it can take over your body, how that person doesn’t even look like themselves anymore.

It’s October of your fifth grade year, at the end of the day. You’ve gotten back into the swing of things, your teacher is awesome, and you’re at the top of the elementary school food chain. You’re about to walk outside. The weather is beautiful; the trees are still mostly green with a few ambitious leaves already changing color. The sky is blue and the sun is shining in the way it only does during fall. You’re going to remember how it felt to walk across the parking lot on that day for a long time. You’re happy, like you normally are when you leave school, and you get in the car. That’s when Mom tells you your little brother has cancer.
