Early Detection For Cancer - cancer runs in my family

[mariefe18]

Cancer is a silent disease but when you are able to detect it at an early stage there is a high probability for it to be cured. Do you perform self examination as a form of early detection? I do, especially because cancer runs in my family and most of them were detected at a very late stage, so better do it than be sorry. How about you do you practice it?

That is a good topic because it would create an awareness for everyone to be conscious about their health especially cancer when it runs in the family.
It is best when detected at an early stage because there is still a great chance to be cured. and the expenses would be lesser.

i dont actually perform something or go to a doctor for examination but what's really is the signs to recognize the symptoms whether the back pains you're experiencing now is one of it. but of course there are kinds of cancer.

what i'm afraid of is the leukemia type. lots of people die within a year because the disease was there long before they knew.

i hope we're all aware of the symptoms of it.

Well, about the early detection, yes, it is completely curable in the early stages. One of my relatives had breast cancer and she is completely cured now, and is not on any medication currently. But the problem is that it's difficult to rule out at the early stages. For some people the disease is more symptomatic, while in most of the cases, it is asymptomatic. That's why it is called the 'Silent killer'. As you are having family history of cancer, you need frequent, say at least once in three or four months, medical checkup and ensure that you are unscathed.

Anyway it doesn't solely depend on the genetic factors, but as you are already in a risk of developing cancer, I advice you to modify your lifestyle by a great extent, by avoiding carcinogenic substances, and having good exercise to keep yourselves fit. Above all keep grinning out there All the best!
