Persuasive Speech About Cancer In Life

Sometimes in life things just happen and we have no control over them but we learn to move forward in spite of everything we face. When Nick receives his diagnosis for cancer, it frightens him greatly to the point where he begins to see death everywhere. He becomes adamant that his life could be lost to the same disease that took his father’s life. Not knowing how to deal with the news, he asks the

“Lets not call cancer patients as patients, they are cancer fighters. They are brave hearts” - Vikrmn, Gura. Nowadays, you hear more and more people getting cancer(13). It is a stress that many people worry about. You worry if one of your parents will get it. You pray your children don't’ get it. It’s a constant worry. You watch television and you can get this horrible monster from microwaving your food, drinking bottled water, carrying your phone in your pocket, using deodorant, coloring your hair and much more. Finding a cure for cancer would be a prayer answered for many.

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.

A child is usually portrayed as innocent and pure. Yamila, who is now 10, has been fighting cancer ever since she was 3 years old, when she was found to suffer from ALL. Yamila, whose family lived in Puerto Rico, underwent treatment at a local hospital. But the cancer came back. This time, her doctors recommended a bone marrow transplant and referred Yamila’s family to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. St. Jude invents more clinical trials than any other children’s hospital, which is why the world looks to St. Jude for new and better ways to treat childhood cancer. At St. Jude, Yamila underwent the bone marrow transplant, with her brother serving as her donor. “My daughter began riding her bike shortly after leaving the transplant unit,” said Yahaira, Yamila's mother. “The physical therapist would come to teach her some exercises, and all she would think about was her bike” said her mother. “St. Jude is a hospital where miracles happen,” Yamila said. Yamila portrayed a sad child’s life because after she recovered from cancer she got it

Three months ago, Tristan lost her grandfather to a moderate case of pneumonia. Prior to this illness, he had cancer in one lung and had it remove. Due to having one lung, the doctor informed that he has a low chance of surviving. While her grandfather was in the hospital, Tristan made the time to visit him as much as she could. Sometimes, she would bring her school work with her and studied while her grandfather slept.

Her name is Erin, and her story doesn’t begin tonight. Her story actually began a week ago while she was sitting on her bed. It was her birthday and she had just turned seven. She was busy going through the contents of an old shoe box, and she was crying. In her hand, she held a photograph of her and her mother. They were in their backyard next to a rose garden, and her mother had her arms around her, holding her tightly. Erin remembered every moment of that day. How the sunlight warmed her skin, the sweet smell of honeysuckle in the air, the rhythmical buzzing of a humming bird’s wings that had flown into the yard only fleetingly right before her father had taken the picture. That day was two years ago now, and seventeen months before ovarian cancer had taken her

Attention Getter: What do Sheryl Crow, Judy Blume, Suzanne Somers, Wanda Sykes and my Mother have in common? They are all breast cancer survivors.

It all started in …… when the chemo stopped working and when surgeries were a normal thing for Grandma Botbyl. Being a thirteen year old and getting told that your grandma has cancer again for the second time was a rough start my seventh grade year. Being diagnosed and then misdiagnosed with cancer was something I couldn’t trust anymore, and I couldn’t trust the doctors at this point. Moving from doctor to doctor, trying to find an answer to all of these problems that are being caused was hard. Cancer is moving from place to place, left and right, until …. came around. Growing up with both of my grandmas struggling and dealing with cancer, I got an idea of how the long journey would go. After the latest surgery to remove all the cancer from Grandma Botbyl, I got to witness the loving family in the crowded hospital room all together feeling God’s presence able to call Grandma Botbyl ‘cancer free.’

Hearing that Kevin had cancer, paired with the devastated expression on his face, my heart sank. The occasional heaviness in the air at the shelter seemed to amplify and words – of which I usually have plenty – seemed to scurry from my tongue. I sat with him, I listened to him, and I did what I could to show him that I

Thank you everyone for your kind words, thoughts and prayers. I've received several personal messages (some thought I had taken a turn for the worse)... I want to assure everyone that I'm fine and feeling great. The three biopsies show my cancer to be slow growing, not very aggressive cancer (Gleason score of 3 + 3). I really just wanted to get the information out there. It was not something that I shared with most people and I felt it was time to say something. Also, I'm not on some crazy sort of “Steve Jobs treatment.” Active surveillance is a treatment – it just not normally used by someone my age. My goal is to prolong any sort of treatment as long as I can. Like I said, I was diagnosed over 4 years ago and in those 4 years the way prostate cancer is treated has changed drastically. Technologies are improving and changing the treatment options every day. In the last four years the use of MRI, robotic surgery, proton radiation and many more ) every day! Some of theses treatments have been around for 10 years! However, the way they are being used has changed. I will tell you one thing......... The engineer that designed the trans-rectal coil for the MRI needed to test it on him or herself before they went to production. It really is a “square peg round hole” medical device.

How does it feel waking up to your body aching and going to the doctor numerous times a week all because you have cancer? How would it sound if there was a way that one could be treated just by taking pills — maybe three times a day? During my research about the wonderful cancer curing drug, I have noticed a few things. In the three articles about cancer, the main point in all of them was the fact that they all do the same thing — cure cancer in the human body. However, the only difference between the articles is that they refer to the cure as something different.

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.

There are over 300 different kinds of cancer in the world. That’s a pretty scary number. If you don’t know anyone close to you or around you having cancer, you will. If you do know a family member who has cancer, your risks just increased.
