Persuasive Speech On Colon Cancer

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

Through all of the challenging things that took place while my father was fighting cancer, I learned many valuable lessons. My parents decided that my father would undergo chemotherapy and radiation at the Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Newnan, Georgia. Normally, they would be gone for about two weeks at a time, but there were a couple occasions that my parents were forced to stay there for months due to major surgeries. Home alone in Florida, my brother and I had very different schedules. So, I was alone most of the time. I was only a sophomore in high school, and I found myself having to do pretty much everything on my own. Even though it was onerous, this time in my life is very meaningful to me. It taught me that I will not always have someone to rely on. Even if it was a little earlier than normal, I am thankful that I was forced to become as independent as I am today. I value this chapter in my life, because I believe that being strong and independent is very critical to being able to survive in the world we live in

For Cici published a note. Persuasive speech regarding Childhood Cancer Awareness Specific Purpose: To convince my audience that childhood cancer is much more common than widely believed, and that action must be taken to increase awareness and funding for research Introduction I.

One day my dad came home from work. He looked really upset and didn’t seem like himself. Him and my mom told my brother, sister and I to come to the kitchen because they had bad news. “Kids, your great grandpa was diagnosed with lung cancer yesterday.” My mom told us with watery eyes. “Yeah,” My dad started, “We just found out this morning.” This was very upsetting and depressing news for my family and I to hear, but we all got through it together. We did this by going to see him as much as we could, even thought he lived three hours away from

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

I never thought I would be affected so deeply by one word. Cancer tore my whole world apart in what felt like an instant. When my mother was diagnosed, never did I imagine it would take her away from me. I was essentially just a child who never thought about death. Let alone, the death of the one person who is responsible for bringing me into this world. I went through a lot during the course of a couple months. From the doctor’s appointments, to multiple hospital environments, then finally getting the call I never thought would come. One thing that I will carry with me is not having my mom there to witness all the important things happening in my life as I get older. The most difficult thing I had to cope with was I had to grow from a child

I realized cancer wasn’t a curse, but a lesson for my entire family. Over time with chemotherapy, prayers and an incredibly supportive group of family and friends, my mother's health stabilized and improved. Every member of my family had been impacted in a unique way, but one thing we discovered through this process is that while physical pain cannot be shared, emotional support works miracles. I learned that life is about being thankful for everything we have and overcoming obstacles we face along the way while lending a hand to those in need. With new perspective, I decided to take the opportunity to volunteer at a local food bank. Through my experience there, you can see firsthand the impact we make and intrinsically it’s a rewarding experience.

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.

Cancer has been a part of my life since I was younger. My grandma and aunt were diagnosed and luckily, they both won their battles. Unfortunately, not everyone is as lucky. My best friend’s mother was diagnosed when she was extremely young and she did not even know what the word cancer meant. She had no idea one word could cause someone

It didn’t take long though, for cancer to become a trip to the emergency room after my mom had severe back pain. Cancer was a pain, one that didn’t ever go away. Cancer was a heartless doctor explaining my mom’s expiration date. Two weeks, the doc said my mom would be lucky if she lived that long. Cancer had not only been in her breast, but in her bones, lung, liver, and skin as well. Cancer was a hospital room full of family. It was my mom with a huge smile plastered on her face despite hearing the horrid news. Cancer was her telling our entire family that it was the best day of her life, not because she was told she was going to die, but because she had her entire family there supporting her.

Cancer has been a part of my life since I was a year and a half old. My two month old sister, Kaitlyn, was diagnosed with brain cancer. While I do not remember much of that time, I do remember going to the hospital a great deal of the time due to Kaitlyn being so sick. Kaitlyn passed away two weeks before my third birthday and I did not know how to feel. I grew up feeling guilty because I did not remember my sister at all. I would tell people that I wanted to be a “cancer doctor”

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.
