Cancer in The Family Ann

In 1989 after bleeding for over a year and just having a week clear I had a hysterectomy because they found that I had cancer of the womb after the operation,  I went once a week to the specialize because he was not satisfied because he told me that he could feel something so he then sent me up for a x-ray which they found that I had cancer of my right kidney and that it had to be removed right away. 

When my Dr. told me about this, it was not long after I had the first cancer operation I was beside by myself,  so I walked home crying my eyes out, I had no one with me to talk to about it.  Why I had no one with me was because I did not know what the Dr. was about to tell me and I did not think to phone my husband, to pick me up.

Sugary, Starchy Diet May Raise Chances of Lung Cancer

People who eat a sugary, starchy diet may be raising their risk of lung cancer, even if they don't smoke, researchers say.
They found that people who recall eating more foods that have a high glycemic index also were more likely to develop lung cancer. Glycemic index is a term that's familiar to people with diabetes. It describes food that raises blood sugar and stimulates production of insulin — think bagels, white rice and some fruits such as melon and pineapple.

Kids Health, What is Cancer?..

Cancer is a scary word. Almost everyone knows someone who got very sick or died from cancer. Most of the time, cancer affects older people. Not many kids get cancer, but when they do, very often it can be treated and cured.
What Is Cancer?  Cancer is actually a group of many related diseases that all have to do with cells. Cells are the very small units that make up all living things, including the human body. There are billions of cells in each person's body.
