I know this sounds strange, but why not? Like, now-a-days you always hear of people dying of cancer. But when you read about people who died in the 1800’s, you never hear of them dying of cancer.
I know cancer isn’t a disease, its something that just forms, so its not like the disease wasn’t very common back then.
My mother (age 63) was diagnosed with Small Cell Lung Cancer in June 08. She has choosen not to have any treatments for it. At the time of the diagnosis it had not spread to other areas.
Less than a week ago, a close family friend passed away from cancer. She has three daughters, all still in school. I myself am only a junior in high school, but want to find a way to reach out to family’s who are affected by family members with health issues without invading the privacy of these families. Any ideas how I can make a difference?
I have a wart looking bump on my finger. Smaller than a penny. I’ve had several of these, and my mom had me put on some remover that made the bump all white and eventually peel off. After reading a magazine, I saw that the bumps I was getting looked a lot like a very minor version of skin cancer. How do I know if its skin cancer or just a regular wart?
