| When Cancer Takes Over life |
Cancer is an illness that all of us hope we don't succumb too. Every educated person knows that there are several causes for cancer and most of them lie within the lifestyles that we have. One of the main causes of cancer lies in the kind of foods we eat. Cancer causing foods are plenty. You need to know about them in order to steer clear.
Food that has been charred, for example a barbecue, creates what are known as heterocyclic aromatic amines that are carcinogenic or cancer inducing. Burnt toast is also included. If you must indulge in red meat, having it medium or rare is a better option than having it well done. Or better yet, just steer clear of red meat.
Stomach cancer is known to be higher in folks who loved pickled, salted or smoked foods. Aerated or artificially sweetened drinks contain sugars and additives that can turn carcinogenic. Foods fried in excessive oil have trans fatty acids that in the long run can cause cancer. These are just some of the foods to look out for.
If you have already developed cancer, the prognosis will tell you which stage you are in. Cancer staging simply is the extent of the illness and is generally categorized in stages of 4. If you are in Stage 4 of cancer, your doctor will be able to tell you how far it has moved in your case. You have to understand that each form of cancer has a different meaning to stage 4 and only your doctor will be able to explain to you clearly about it. It will also help him make an informed decision on the course of treatment for you to follow. Though it may sound terrifying, knowing the stage you are in gives you a clearly idea of what to expect.
As with any other illness, a lack of awareness always surrounds cancer. When it comes breast cancer, awareness bracelets were introduced in 2004. With time, these bracelets are being made by a number of organizations and foundations all aimed at spreading knowledge as well as collecting funds for research or medical care of those who cannot afford it. Many still do not know that men too can have breast cancer and that is just one of the messages that this little beauties set out to tell.
Cancer is an illness that we all have to work hard to keep at bay. But if any one of use does contract it, you should know that being surrounded by friends and family is what is most important.
