Cancer is a disease caused by uncontrolled cell growth. It can start in different parts of the body as either benign or malignant tumors. Early detection through self-exams and medical screening can help improve cancer treatment outcomes. In addition to medical treatments like chemotherapy and radiation, alternative therapies involving diet, exercise, and mind-body practices may help support healing.

22. "War needs to be waged on this disease.
Twenty years ago if a child was diagnosed
with cancer it was a death sentence; now
there's an 80 percent cure rate. I just think
if there's enough awareness raised and we
move research ahead, something can be
done."
-Linda Hastings

However I still get around and
