The world we share today is filled with health problems. It's hard to say
if many of them existed long ago, since they lacked the technology to
understand. With the HIV virus and a plethora of other STDs on the rise, it's
hard to even keep up with what's out there. One thing we've learned to
anticipate is cancer. This horrible disease takes many of us by surprise.
Luckily, in this day of modern medicine, you can find a treatment for cancer.
Chemotherapy is a prime treatment for cancer. It works as a poison in the human
body in order to kill the cancer cells. Unfortunately, poisons aren't good for
our bodies. This is where cancer victims have to fight for their lives and
sanity while losing their hair. It's a gut wrenching process, but one we humans
have to deal with. Researchers are always on the lookout for that new treatment
for cancer. This disease probably affects our species worse than any other
illness. While some believe the HIV virus to be the worst of illnesses known to
man, simply because it ensures death at some point when AIDS kicks in, I feel
that cancer is much worse because it can't be prevented. Even those who eat well
and live right can still be afflicted with cancer.
I recall standing in line at a grocery store, and the man ahead of me was very
jovial and physically fit. I didn't really give him a second thought until I
heard him interact with the sales clerk. She asked him if he wanted to donate a
dollar to a breast cancer foundation. He responded with a resounding, no. The
sales clerk looked slightly annoyed at his reaction, but I'm sure she'd heard it
a million times. Then the man stated why he didn't wish to donate. He said, "I
had cancer and needed their help, but they wouldn't help me. It seemed I had the
wrong kind of cancer." The sales lady looked speechless.
Treatment for cancer can not only be harsh on the body, but hard to afford as
well. This is why there are foundations in place. It's clear that research must
be done before checking with certain cancer treatment organizations for
assistance. Hopefully one day soon we will have a treatment for cancer that
works more safely and effectively than what is offered today, or better yet, a
cure.
