Sugar, who writes a private journal, reminds us that September is Cancer Awareness month. I relay the message that any changes in your body that you are not happy with should be checked out.
Ladies are encouraged to check their breasts for irregularities and have a mammogram; also to go for regular pap smears to ensure there is no cervical cancer.
Gentlemen should not hesitate either to check their private parts on a regular basis and discuss anything untoward with their doctor. Problems passing water should also be a good reason to visit the GP.
Early diagnosis is the key towards greater success in the treatment of cancer, possibly extending life expectancy if not curing the illness.
As I indicated above, there is no 'one' cancer. Cancer takes thousands of forms, which affect different parts of the body. None of them are treated in the same way. Finding a cure for Cancer as such is therefore impossible. Finding a cure for some forms of cancer certainly is possible.
Great & timely entry.

I've had my mammogram for the year. It's not that bad when you get a margarita afterwards. Hee hee..

ReplyDeleteTimely entry for me. My mom has her cancer checkup on Friday - if clear, it will be 5 years cancer free! She sought medical attention at the first sign therefore they were able to catch her cancer early, followed by surgery & radiation. Good advice Guido.
