Colon Cancer

Saturday, July 4th, 2009

Colon cancer is uncommon in those under forty years of age and tends to be associated with a poorer prognosis. Another consideration is that people who don?t have symptoms at the time of diagnosis tend to have a better prognosis. Colon cancer is regarded as the second leading cause of most cancer deaths in the United States. Colon cancer is a long-standing disease, which starts as a polyp or a small non-cancerous growth. Colon cancer is the second most common cause of cancer-related death in Canada. It is estimated that one of 16 Canadian men and one of 18 Canadian women will develop colon cancer in their lifetimes, just behind breast cancer for women and prostate cancer in men.

Sun Exposure: Harmful Or Healthy

Monday, June 15th, 2009

Natural sunlight’s potential to harm you has really been blown out of proportion by doctors, corporations, advertisements, beauty experts, and health officials. You have probably heard these people say that you need to stay out of the sun because the sun can kill you. This simply isn’t true.

First of all there is not any scientific evidence whatsoever to prove that any type of sunscreen prevents skin cancer, or that the sun causes skin cancer, or why you should avoid the sun. Avoiding the sun just doesn’t make sense. People that live in island nations, such as the Philippines, don’t have any sunscreen and are in the hot sun everyday, yet there has not been one single case of skin cancer. The same is true for many countries in Africa where people don’t have access to any commercial sunscreens.

The Breast Cancer Treatment : Coping With A Mastectomy

Monday, June 8th, 2009

As women, especially American women, much of our femininity is centered on our breasts. No matter where you look, there are pictures, billboards, commercials, television shows, and movies with women with these beautiful breasts and ample cleavage. The thought of losing one or both breasts, to breast cancer, can be devastating for many of us.

Sure, there’s reconstruction, but will it ever really look the same again? Even if you have reconstruction, you’ll never have sensation there again and, for many of us, that definitely affects our sexuality. I went through two separate mastectomies, for my breast cancer, despite the fact that I wanted them both done at the same time. Two different surgeons told me that wasn’t necessary. They found out, later, that it was, as I had the same breast cancer in both breasts. Through these surgeries, I learned a few things about what to expect, and how to get up and running again, after a mastectomy for breast cancer.
