Titres dans Cancer

The Leukaemia Diaries started life as just that, a diary detailing my journey from just before being diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML), to the scary "I’m going to die" bit, to the joys of chemotherapy, getting back to work and beyond. However, with every edit and every conversation with a fellow sufferer, it transformed into what it is now, which is an emotional, honest, and heartfelt account that not only aims to engage, entertain, and inform, but also comfort and inspire.

The book encourages the young to work for realizing their objectives and withstand the difficulties they may face, while at the same time lets the grown-up enjoy the success of a young girl who moves from one continent to another and establishes stability and enjoys happiness to overcome all difficulties.

The Smooth River is the remarkable story of how a well-known public relations expert and her husband met her stage 4 pancreatic cancer head-on.

They called this the Smooth River.

Imagine entering a country you never opted to visit - and all that during a war! This is how I experienced my sudden arrival in the hospital with a leukemia diagnosis. A noble hero? At times, I felt more like the battleground itself! It was others who fought: the medics, those who visited, prayed, and so on. Personally, in such circumstances, I doubt a patient's aggressively positive attitude makes much difference to the outcome - that may encourage some! I have survived six years down the line - but come with me when there was no certainty, just a journey.

In 2009, an influential panel of medical experts ignited a controversy when they recommended that most women should not begin routine mammograms to screen for breast cancer until the age of 50, reversing guidelines they had issued just seven years before when they recommended 40 as the optimal age to start getting mammograms. Many women’s groups, health care advocates, and individual women saw the guidelines as privileging financial considerations over women’s health and a setback to decades-long efforts to reduce the mortality rate of breast cancer.

Tutto comincia da una singola cellula. Una sola, tra migliaia di miliardi. Una cellula che si divide in due cellule uguali, e poi lo fa ancora, e ancora, e ancora, dieci, cento, mille, un milione di volte; una proliferazione che procede impetuosa e senza freni, seguendo la spinta allimmortalità iscritta nei geni. Una corsa paradossale, che porta la cellula a moltiplicarsi fino al punto di pagarne essa stessa il prezzo, uccidendo il corpo ospitante e scomparendo quindi assieme a lui.

Here are my email dispatches sent from the frontline with dry humour and honesty - but no sentiment. I start with the lead up to the action (performing the day before) and end with world travel. A noble hero? At times I felt more like the battleground itself! "Stay calm, lie flat, and drink plenty of water." It was others who fought: the medics, those who visited, prayed, etc. Personally, in such circumstances, I doubt an aggressively positive attitude makes much difference to outcome: That may encourage some!

Have you ever been forced to consider the fact of your mortality? If confronted with cancer, how would you feel? What would you say to the people you love? What would they say to you? No two people have the same answers to these questions, a lesson I learned well during a solo six-week, 5,000-mile cross-country bike ride I called Cycle of Lives. The trip started as a fundraiser in honor of my sister, June, who died of brain cancer.
