What Is Cancer?
Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by uncontrolled
growth and spread of abnormal cells. If the spread
is not controlled, it can result in death. Cancer is caused
by both external factors (tobacco, infectious organisms,
chemicals, and radiation) and internal factors (inherited
mutations, hormones, immune conditions, and mutations
that occur from metabolism). These causal factors may
act together or in sequence to initiate or promote carcinogenesis.
Ten or more years often pass between exposure to
external factors and detectable cancer. Cancer is treated
with surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, hormone therapy,
biological therapy, and targeted therapy.

..........A cancer’s stage is based on the primary tumor’s size
and whether it has spread to other areas of the body. A
number of different staging systems are used to classify
tumors. The TNM staging system assesses tumors in
three ways: extent of the primary tumor (T), absence or
presence of regional lymph node involvement (N), and
absence or presence of distant metastases (M). Once
the T, N, and M are determined, a stage of I, II, III, or IV
is assigned, with stage I being early and stage IV being
advanced disease......

How can I make you eat, mama? I know you are worried, so am I. I had to act happy in the office, taking part in the activities, finishing whatever task given to me after office hours before I could rush over to visit pa before the cut off time of 8pm. Jia you ok?
Tell you a secret, I am having chest pain... shh.. I would be fine.. No tears in front of both of them because I must show that I am strong and able to take it.
