CANCER! It kills! by Siopau

For me cancer is a scary word. Almost everyone knows someone who got very sick or died because of cancer. Most of the time, older people are the target of this disease. Not many kids can get cancer, but when they do, very often it can be treated and cured in the short period of time. Cancer cause about 13% of all human deaths. It really scares me a lot. Sometimes, you’ll never know you have a cancer. Cancer is the most traitor disease people will ever had. Even though you feel good and you are healthy, you may get this kind of illness.

Actually, cancer is a disease where in the growth of cells are uncontrolled. There are
many kind of cancer. Like colon, brain, lung, and also cervical cancer. This disease is very hard to cure. You have to go through many treatments before you become safe from cancer. It is really hard for a person to have a cancer because it's not really easy to cure. Even you can have this disease. I have known many people who have a disease like this. And whenever I see them, I feel what they feels. Eventhough I want to help them, but then, I really can't.

One of the causes of lung cancer is cigarette smoking. This kind of act can destroy our lungs. And the most affected are those people who are not smoking. Even they don't smoke, they can have this disease. Drinking too much can be also a cause of cancer. And this only means that we have to be aware in anything we do in our daily life. This unhealthy habits can be the cause of our death. And Im afraid of this.

Having medical check ups can detect if a person has a cancer. We really have to be aware in this kind of illness. Now a days, theres a lot of people died because of cancer. But because of technologies that people had been made, doctors can now diagnose and treat cancer. One is the chemotherapy, wherein a person go through many procedures. They use a catheter that is attached to a bag to hold the medicine like pills. I know this because I have a relative who is going through this treatment until know. I know how it feels to have this kind of illness. People have to take a risk for them to survive. We really have to avoid cigarette smoking, drinking too much and the unhealthy habits to prevent cancer.
