Opinion on cancer

 Those who have been touched by cancer do not need me to say how soul destroying it can be.  This is my opinion and its only an opinion.  Please take care!


Cancer is a complex disease that is difficult to cure because it involves many different factors, including genetics, lifestyle, and the environment.

Here are some of the reasons why cancer is so hard to cure:

  • Cancer is not one disease. There are over 200 different types of cancer, each with its own unique set of characteristics. This makes it difficult to develop treatments that are effective for all types of cancer.

  • Cancer cells are very good at hiding from the immune system. This makes it difficult for the body to fight off the disease.

  • Cancer cells can mutate quickly. This means that they can develop resistance to treatments, making them even more difficult to cure.

  • Cancer is often diagnosed late. This means that the disease has had time to grow and spread, making it more difficult to treat.

Here are some things that you can do to reduce your risk of getting cancer:

  • Eat a healthy diet. Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Limit your intake of processed foods, red meat, and sugary drinks.

  • Get regular exercise. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise most days of the week.

  • Don't smoke. Smoking is a major risk factor for many types of cancer.

  • Protect yourself from the sun. Limit your exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. Use sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher, and wear protective clothing when you are outdoors.

  • Get regular cancer screenings. Regular screenings can help to detect cancer early, when it is most treatable.

Working night shifts may increase the risk of some types of cancer, such as breast cancer and leukemia. This is because working night shifts can disrupt the body's natural circadian rhythm, which can affect hormone levels and cell growth. However, more research is needed to confirm this link.

I hope this helps!

Spring time

  The sun awakes in a sleepy stretch,  Yawning warmth on a winter's wretch.  Birdsong flutters on the breeze,  Waking trees from slumber...
