Re: Killing cancer.
The Cancer Research adverts claimed that one in three of us will get cancer at some point in our lives - very startling facts, although it does mean that we are twice as likely not to get cancer than to have it.
Still, a third is very much a high percentage nevertheless.

Re: Killing cancer.
I am glad that you are getting over it Tex - as I have said earlier on in the thread that my mother wasn't so lucky and perhaps if she had went to the doctors at least six months or more before she went into hospital, things might have been different in a more positive way.
I hope to God that it doesn't matter to me, although it shouldn't as I don't smoke unlike my mother.

Revolutionary cancer treatment on agenda
Australia could lead the way for a potentially revolutionary cancer treatment called CAR-T that has the power to "cure" Leukaemia.
The immunotherapy, which is being used in the United States, uses a patient's own blood to fight their cancer.
The Australian Medical Services Advisory Committee will be examining the safety and effectiveness of the treatment over the next month.

Originally posted by staffslad View PostIt was President Nixon who launched a "war" against cancer circa 1970 as a response to the poor cancer survival rates of the time. Nearly 50 years later and survival rates have improved, with some cancers seeing a better improvement than others. A "cure for cancer" is often talked about, though, of course, cancer is not a single disease, but hundreds, so to cure cancer, hundreds of individual battles have to be fought before the war will be over. As ever, early diagnosis gives the best chance to defeat it. A relative of mine had a breast lump and kept it to herself for at least a year. By the time we knew and urged her to go to a doctor she had stage 4 breast cancer and underwent a mastectomy with follow-on chemotherapy. Sadly, the cancer had spread to her lung and brain, and she died less than 9 months after the mastectomy. I urge anyone who is the slightest bit concerned about a symptom to visit their doctor asap. Chances are it will be nothing to worry about, but there is always that risk, and by early diagnosis you give yourself the best chance for a recovery.

Originally posted by tex View PostI was reading recently about a surge in patients requesting prostate examinations after the revelations by stephen fry and Bill turnbull that they have the disease.This is good news but being the third biggest killer amongst men it is surely time a nationwide screening programme was introduced. i went to my own doctor 6 months ago and when i requested an examination he was both surprised but pleased that i had taken responsibility for my own well being. Dont be embarrased guys it takes 10 seconds and it doesn't hurt

Originally posted by Donald the Great View PostTex the obvious solution to cigarette smoking prevention is ban the product. You have outlined in explicite detail why that wont happen. The massive revenue tobacco taxes brings to government coffers. Meanwhile thousands of people die every year from cigarette smoking. How insidious is that.
