-Cancer doesn't kill them right away. Its more of the chemo. Its the radiation itself that will kill bad cells as well as the good ones. At the same time, it damages organs and various tissues. Its said, from my mom, it varies on the situation and the stage a person is in for the cancer. Most of the patients, she has told me, died from the radiation that destroyed the tissues of major organs such as the liver. It will shut down, so will other organs, too. Basically, it kills one by one in a slow/fast pace.
-Strands? I'm not sure, but I'm more familiar with breast, blood, bone, lung, skin, ovarian, colon, and brain. ;/ I'm no nurse but I hear stuff like this almost all the time at home and I used to volunteer in the hospitals. Most stuff I get is from mama. :'D
*Did you know that certain cancer MAY be genetic? If you have a family history of breast cancer, there is a chance to get one. Its a bigger chance to get one if its direct.
I know many people with cancer, especially the deadly ones. A few of my parents's friends had breast cancer, they're slowly recovering it. I don't know exactly their status now but to me, they survived it. My cousin had blood cancer at a young age, she had near death experiences from it, but now she's a survivor. My grandmother passed away a couple years ago with lung cancer. It was that bad that she was supposed to live for a month, but she passed over a year. What I really think about cancer... I think about life and I think that we shouldn't take things for granted and appreciate all the good things we have. Its a big obstacle in life not only for the ones that are diagnosed with it, but also for loved ones too. But goodness, cancer is just horrible. It destroys the body so much its unbelievable. I'll get further information about this later on. :'D I actually had to talk to my mom about this and she answered a few of my questions, but the talk was cut short because she has to work. lolz
