intro.

Living with a terminal disease like cancer or having a relation who is living with one is one of life most challenging moment.such individual need the best care both medical and psychological that is available to them.
Cancer like AIDS is one of the most dangerous health conditions which affects humans,but that doesn't mean it can't be managed.Cancer may affect people at all ages, even fetuses, but the risk for most varieties increases with age.Cancer causes about 13% of all human deaths. According to the American Cancer Society, 7.6 million people died from cancer in the world during 2007.It differs in type ranging from the common breast cancer to mesotheliomia which happens to be a tumour of the pleura(covering of the lungs),pericardium(covering of the heart),though the occurrence of mesotheliomia is often due to exposure to asbestos dust.there is currently no curative measure for this disease although good results have been obtained from surgery,radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy.
I would be constantly updating this blog on the different type of cancers and their management.
