Do you know anyone who survived cancer?

I've known two survivors of bowel cancer, one survivor of prostate cancer, and one skin cancer survivor. They each had the cancer removed from their body through surgery, then they received chemotherapy treatment. All four of these people had their cancer over ten years ago, and they are free of cancer now.

These people ranged in age from 29 to 70 at the time of their cancer.

Yes my maternal grandmother. She had breast cancer and was treated by having a double mastectomy and radiation. She also changed her diet and eliminated animal products, added vitamins and minerals and walked daily.

Her attitude always was optimistic and I feel that played a huge part in her healing..she was determined not to be a statistic..

Yes, my mother also survived cancer, she had it in her thyroid gland in the late '60s, had the gland removed and underwent chemo, that went on for a couple of years if I remember correctly, or at least there were lots of trips to the specialist over an hour away. She made it thirty more years before passing away due to a stroke. No great changes to diet or anything.

Yes, my mother is a survivor as the same kind above, and the same reasoning above. There are many survivors of cancer who change their diet or get surgery, or radiation.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
