does anyone know are normaly people's health is compromised already or it just happens even when people are at the best shape and form and healthy.
According to any statistics what state of health normaly people are diagnosed with cancer?
Although I do not know the exact statistics you are asking for part of my job is to report the information cancer statistics are based on. There are known risk factors to most types of cancer and some do compromise ones health, but this does not mean a person with these risk factors will ever get cancer it only helps doctors to be more aware of the possibility. Cancer can strike anyone, of any age with or without any other medical conditions.
What we do know, is when cancer is found during a routine screening exam or by accident while treating something else, in a patient with no symptoms the cancer is most likely found in an early stage and their prognosis is much better regardless of pre-existing medical conditions.
Aging is a major risk factor in the most common types of cancer and since our health tends to become compromised in some way as we age it may appear compromised health may play a part, but from what we know it is only a very small part, if any.
We also know that when someone in their 20s or 30s is diagnosed with one of these common types of cancer, such as lung, breast, colon, there is rarely any pre-existing medical conditions involved, yet their prognosis is very poor and often do not survive.
When children have cancer they are almost always otherwise normal healthy kids.
There are many types of cancer and they have their own unique behaviors and risk factors making it impossible to compare one type to another. However, overall a person whose health has been compromised in some way is not a determining factor.
Reply:i dont know the statistics but i felt better than i had for years i had lost 15st and was feeling great about life and was suddenly diagnosed with throat cancer.the amount of people having chemo shocked me and i did not realise how many peoples lives were touched by cancer it was scary.but the oncology nurse put it all intp perpective she told me the reason they were seeing so many people with cancer was because they were curing most of them nowadays.
Reply:I've known a few of people that got diagnosed with cancer. They seemed like their regular self, no signs or anthing out of the usual. Til they went for their regular chkup, then they found out. I strongly recommend regular check-ups, especially if your family has a history of a certain disease or heredity problems. Cancer is a terrible disease, and I wish no one ever gets it, or ever has to go through it.
Reply:My son was 17 and a healthy high school athlete. He was in excellent physical condition as he was playing basketball at the time. He had brutal basketball practices and he worked full time on weekends, besides going to school. He used to come home from practices and tell me how he could not keep up with the other boys . . I just told him to keep on trying and never suspected a thing. He had just had a sports physical and his doctor told us he was very healthy . .the physical was at the end of December and by the first of March he was diagnosed with stage IV abdominal sarcoma. He was filled with cancer . . one tumor was the size of a volley ball . . . one week he was a healthy teen playing basketball and the next week he had life threatening advanced cancer. No warning.
Ironically, I believe that the fact he was so healthy when they found the cancer . .actually prolonged his life and allowed him to fight for the past three years with great quality of life as well. So it appears that cancer does not discriminate . . anyone healthy or unhealthy can get cancer at any age . . but if you are healthy to begin with you have a better chance at fighting the cancer.
Unfortunately, my son did not survive. But he was always considered healthy for a cancer patient, recovered from surgeries quickly, tolerated high dose chemo, and had few to no lasting side effects.
Reply:Cancer affects the healthy and unhealthy alike.
Myself, I had been a vegan for several years, had never smoked, exercised regularly, had a healthy, largely organic diet full of fruit and veg, was a juicing fiend, and had every reason to feel optimistic and positive when I was diagnosed.
Reply:well when they are exposed to anything carcinegenic(something that can mutate the genes and cause cancer..many carcinegics,ethanol,pollutions in the air,paint,polyeurthanes,insecticides,mic... food in plastic containers,caffeine and alcohol can even up your risks!a family friend found out he had cancer last year,they gave him 3 mos. to live and he only made it 3 weeks.
Reply:Cancer can strike anyone in any condition of health at any time. It is not selective.
