I know it's not cancer month. How many of you know some with cancer or has lost someone 2 cancer. I know someone who has cancer, and they are in a lot of pain. So if you have lost someone 2 cancer and want 2 talk about it, come here. If you just want to discuss your opinions on cancer that is o.k. 2.

i have lost my dog to cancer
he was the best thing that happened to the family
crying he was my best friend crying
my grandma had cancer once to
but the Lord praised her a second chance by answering my grandfathers prayer and she walks to this day
i'm grateful for that
and for those who don't believe in God, just keep your business to yourself cause i don't want to hear you bashing on my religion because you don't believe, cause i do

I lost my grandmother (moms side) a few years ago to cancer, my mom still tears up every once in a while when she comes up.
My grandpa (dads side) passed away a little over a year ago from cancer too, dad gets sick around his birthday now.

This is information I got of the internet site www.cancerhelp.org.uk...
This information is to be treated as guidelines and not law. For further information I suggest doing your own research or talking to a health professional if you are really concerned.....
The many causes of cancer
There are about 200 different types of cancer. They can start in any type of body tissue. What affects one body tissue may not affect another. For example, tobacco smoke that you breathe in may help to cause lung cancer. Overexposing your skin to the sun could cause a melanoma on your leg. But the sun won't give you lung cancer and smoking won't give you melanoma.
Apart from infectious diseases, most illnesses are 'multifactorial'. Cancer is no exception. Multifactorial means that there are many factors involved. In other words, there is no single cause for any one type of cancer.
Carcinogens
A 'carcinogen' is something that can help to cause cancer. Tobacco smoke is a powerful carcinogen. But not everyone who smokes gets lung cancer. So there must be other factors at work as well as carcinogens.
Age
Most types of cancer become more common as we get older. This is because the changes that make a cell become cancerous in the first place take a long time to develop. There have to be a number of changes to the genes within a cell before it turns into a cancer cell. These changes can happen by accident when the cell is dividing. Or they can happen because the cell has been damaged by carcinogens and the damage is then passed on to future 'daughter' cells when that cell divides. The longer we live, the more time there is for genetic mistakes to happen in our cells.
Genetic make up
There need to be a number of genetic mutations within a cell before it becomes cancerous. Sometimes a person is born with one of these mutations already. This doesn't mean they will definitely get cancer. But with one mutation from the start, it makes it more likely statistically that they will develop cancer during their lifetime. Doctors call this 'genetic predisposition'.
Researchers are looking at the genes of people with cancer in a study called SEARCH. They also hope to find out more about how other factors might interact with genes to increase the risk of cancer. Information about this study is on our clinical trials database. Please note that you cannot volunteer for this study.
The immune system
People who have problems with their immune systems are more likely to get some types of cancer. This group includes people who
* Have had organ transplants and take drugs to suppress their immune systems to stop organ rejection
* Have HIV or AIDS
* Are born with rare medical syndromes which affect their immunity
The types of cancers that affect these groups of people fall into two, overlapping groups
* Cancers that are caused by viruses, such as cervical cancer and other cancers of the genital or a**l area, some lymphomas, liver cancer and stomach cancer
* Lymphomas
Chronic infections or transplanted organs can continually stimulate cells to divide. This continual cell division means that immune cells are more likely to develop genetic faults and develop into lymphomas.
Bodyweight, diet and physical activity
Cancer experts estimate that maintaining a healthy bodyweight, making changes to our diet and taking regular physical activity could prevent about one in three deaths from cancer in the UK. In the western world, many of us eat too much red and processed meat and not enough fresh fruit and vegetables. This type of diet is known to increase the risk of cancer. Drinking alcohol can also increase the risk of developing some types of cancer. There is more information about this in the page on diet causing cancer.
Day to day environment
By environmental causes we mean what is around you each day that may help to cause cancer. This could include
* Tobacco smoke
* The sun
* Natural and man made radiation
* Work place hazards
* Asbestos
Viruses
Viruses can help to cause some cancers. But this does not mean that these cancers can be caught like an infection. What happens is that the virus can cause genetic changes in cells that make them more likely to become cancerous.
Bacterial infection
Bacterial infections have not been thought of as cancer causing agents in the past. But studies have shown that people who have helicobacter pylori infection of their stomach develop inflammation of the stomach lining, which increases the risk of stomach cancer. Helicobacter pylori infection can be treated with a combination of antibiotics.
Research is also looking at whether substances produced by particular types of bacteria in the digestive system can increase the risk of bowel cancer or stomach lymphomas. Some researchers think that particular bacteria may produce cancer causing substances in some people. But research into this issue is at an early stage.
If bacteria do play a part in causing cancer this could be important in cancer prevention. Bacterial infections can often be cured with antibiotics, so getting rid of the infection could be a way to reduce the risk of these types of cancer.
