The Emperor of All Maladies is a great place to understand the many sides of cancer: What is cancer exactly? It’s when a person’s cells begin dividing in an uncontrolled way, often showing up as a lump called a tumour somewhere in their body, and it’s caused by accumulated mutations in our DNA. And after all that, we still can’t relax because the cancer could always return. It seems to come out of nowhere, spreads fast inside someone’s body, and to get rid of it we must literally poison ourselves (with chemotherapy) until our hair is falling out. (source)Īnd that’s a scary statistic because everyone agrees: cancer is terrifying. That is according to researchers who study cancer rates in developed countries like the US, UK and Canada.
Almost 1 in 2 people will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetimes.
