Cancer Is A Word With Multiple Meanings

The word cancer can be terrifying but it has multiple meanings. There are different types of cancers in different organs. Some cancers progress slowly and some rapidly. Cancer may not be cured in many cases but modern therapy can manage it as a chronic disease. Anyone with cancer needs to be educated about their condition and what to expect. In addition to any need for therapy specific to the cancer there is need for special diligence in regard to a healthy lifestyle. The body has mechanisms for combating cancer that require support with a healthy diet, exercise, adequate sleep and stress relief.
