All about Cancer
-
Just had lunch with SIL. She told me her colleague whom I always passed my kids' used clothes to, has passed away. I was shocked as his kids are younger than mine.
Initially this colleague complained of 腰痛, scanned here and there at TTHS but found nothing wrong. Then one day he suddenly passed out and was sent to A&E. Already too late, stage 4 stomach cancer. :scratchhead: -

:sad: and i wonder if those so called general 'cancer cells screening' could detect or not? feel that there are just too many organs to check..and some of symptoms, we may think that is normal.Just had lunch with SIL.

Well, we can only do that much on health checks and screenings to detect the disease early

Just do the most likely tests for the cancers that can be treated most easily if caught early. The rest… well, when it’s time to go, it’s time to go. I believe that one of the reasons that the incidence of cancer is increasing is because people no longer die of other things earlier in life. My brother (doctor) told me that if a person lives long enough, he is bound to get some form of cancer because the cells age and change. The people who get cancer early in life are just unfortunate and of course we should do what we can to live healthy lifestyles, but if you can get to 65 or so more or less intact and healthy, that’s pretty good, I think.

I kinda share the same belief that our body is not design to last the long.
On top of that, our body is now infused with all sorts of chemical from medicine, vaccines, tainted food etc...we will not be able to tell what a combi of all these will result in in our body -

Ya lor. That's the scariest part. The 腰痛 was actually triggered by the stomach cancer pressing on some nerves, or something like that.
When my mum told me her leg was painful, this time has worsen from her waist down to knee cap and was on MC for 1 week, I was worried that it could be bone cancer or something serious. -
I do actually know of 2 young people who had bone cancer in the leg and a mother who had stomach cancer. All in remission now. Cancer has other symptoms, it won’t be just a pain. Look for general and unusual fatigue, inexplicable bloating, bruises that don’t go away etc.

I oso heard that there r other symptoms of cancer, such as loss of appetite & weight. My friend's father suffered fr. nose cancer showed no symptoms except loss of weight. Went to see few doctors but could not get the diagnosis right. Took quite a number of visits to hospital to find out the real cause, by then it was too late to treatvinegar:
