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.

Staggering' breast cancer trial kills tumours in 11 days

Women with breast cancer could be spared gruelling rounds of chemotherapy and surgery after trials of a new treatment destroyed deadly tumours in just 11 days.
Experts called the findings "staggering" and said it was the first time a treatment for the disease has shown such a quick response.
They suggested that the results of the trial, in women with one of the most aggressive forms of breast cancer, could revolutionise future treatment of other types of disease.

What is cancer?

Cancer is when abnormal cells divide in an uncontrolled way. Some cancers may eventually spread into other tissues.
There are more than 200 different types of cancer.
1 in 2 people in the UK will get cancer in their lifetime.
Thanks to research many people are cured and more than half live for more than 10 years.

Are carbs as bad as red meat and cigarettes when it comes to lung cancer?

Carb lovers among us could be at higher risk of developing lung cancer, even if they have never smoked, according to a new study.

But it's not just any carbs. Those with a high glycemic index -- meaning they raise your blood sugar the most -- are the ones associated with increased lung cancer risk. Think white bread, white rice and russet potatoes. In contrast, the carbs in foods such as pasta, oatmeal and sweet potatoes have a low glycemic index.

Breast cancer study finds drug combination that gives 'astonishing' results

Using Herceptin in combination with another drug before surgery shrinks and may even destroy tumours in women with an aggressive form of breast cancer in less than two weeks, an “astonishing” study suggests.
The results of the Cancer Research UK-funded trial, presented at the 10th European Breast Cancer Conference in Amsterdam, could – if successfully replicated – lead to fewer women needing chemotherapy.
