When I was younger cancer is a disease only associated with the wealthy.Nowadays,cancer is so rampant, almost everyone knows someone who's having or dying from cancer. I have a relative whose mother has died of leukemia and a year later her daughter was hospitalized and was treated with breast cancer, a friend whose sister just died from ovarian cancer, a colleague whose mother is suffering from terminal cancer,a former teacher who's having cervical cancer and the list goes on. Cancer is so wide spread ,it can affect to anyone of us or our family.It's emotionally disturbing,it 's bring tightness to my chest whenever I heard that someone was diagnosed with cancer.It brings apprehensions on my mind thinking that 1 day me or my family will get a diagnosis of cancer.What are the measures you're doing to prevent cancer and alternative treatments you know?

It is a disturbing illness and I am sorry to hear so many people you know have had it - however there are some great treatments and screenings out there now
