Cancer

QUOTING Wikipedia:

"Cancer (medical term: malignant neoplasm) is a class of diseases in which a group of cells display the traits of uncontrolled growth (growth and division beyond the normal limits), invasion (intrusion on and destruction of adjacent tissues), and sometimes metastasis (spread to other locations in the body via lymph or blood). These three malignant properties of cancers differentiate them from benign tumors, which are self-limited, do not invade or metastasize. Most cancers form a tumor but some, like leukemia, do not."

Apparently if you suffered from breast cancer before and if it is removed and cured there is still 20% chances that the cells can spread to other parts of the body. Recently we got a news that this is what happened to my mother in law... sigh.. The doctor said that it is very unfortunately that she is within the 20%.

What can you do when this happens to someone so dear to you?

amituofo... yeah, i suppose that's about what you guys can do besides showing concern. Sometimes patients do not want sympathy. You guys be strong yourselves!

I am a stranger that just happen to read your blog.

May be you can try to read this book (and no, I am not christian, haha):
《吳永志不一樣的自然養生法》
He is a Doctor and he recovered from his cancer through very simple living lifestyle:
Drink blended vege+fruits.

You may try this.
Heard quite effective from the readers when I happened to be there during my purchasing.

Take care.
