Trends have shown that the coverage media is giving to the disease focuses more on treatments and not on prevention. As with any disease, prevention is the key and avoiding the disease or preventing one from contracting it outweighs the need for treatment. Media should bring more light into the need for measures such as the administration of the HPV vaccines which greatly decreases the risk of getting the disease in later life. A survey of several newspapers showed that over a two-year period, more than 200 stories have been published regarding the disease with only 18% of those total articles focusing on prevention. The amounts of preventive measures abound yet not many know enough.

Jun 17th, 2008 by Addy | 0

No one knows exactly how breast cancer is developed, or acquired. Some say its hereditary, but the truth is, we all have a cancer gene in our bodies waiting to be awaken. Activation is the key for a tumor to run in our bodies, so the key is to avoid its awakening, unfortunately, no one knows how to do that so the least any of us can hope to do is to just be cautious and be aware of the symptoms so that we can detect it early and therefore survive it without so much of the pain. For breast cancer, it is much more vital to be paranoid if a close relative has developed it, we recommend a mammogram annually. Also, women become more susceptible to breast cancer as they age, women who are 30 and above should go for check-ups. Menstrual cycle is also a factor, if your start and ended too early, you might want to look out for signs.

Shower People With Love

My younger brother, Junaid, passed away recently after a two year battle with cancer. He died as I was holding his hands at Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto on March 19, 2008 at 11:10am. Our whole family was there at his bedside when he passed away. He was only 33 years old.

Especially difficult to bear was the fact that just over a year into my brother’s illness he had made a miraculous recovery after enduring several rounds of chemo, radiation and various alternative health treatments. (When Junaid was first diagnosed with stage four base-of-the-tongue cancer, he was given 7 months to live with less than a 10% chance of survival).
