Cancer 101

Former President Cory Aquino and an aunt of mine died of colon cancer. It is one of the few types of cancer that has a low 5 year survival rate. Speaking of cancer, here are few facts that we should know, based on the studies by Johns Hopkins University. 1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size. 2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime. 3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors. 4. When a person has cancer, it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies.These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle

Suddenly she’s our sole support; source of comfort, our wellspring of Hope. On her shoulders felt the burden of Life. I fell in love again, with the same woman the third time. Looming from the battle, her courage will never fade Amidst the hardships she has remained, un
