Surviving with Cancer
When someone is diagnosed with cancer nowadays, the scary part often is not the diagnosis but the question, "What will the side effects be?" Today, while there are cures for many types of cancers (when caught early enough), there is not always a great solution to help ease some of the side effects or diminish people's reaction to cancer treatment. We've heard many of the gruesome, often heartbreaking stories of the kinds of physical trauma that people have gone through while battling cancer, and you can be sure that these people have certainly 'battled' with cancer. However, more research needs to be done to not only find a quick and efficient cure for all cancer but also to ease the side effects produced from current treatments.
In some cases, people who have gone through cancer treatment have actually claimed that they would have almost preferred no treatment at all rather than have to go through what they could only describe to be 'torture'. It is no secret that cancer treatment is not the best thing in the world in terms of comfort. However, this is something that is often overlooked because the cure is what most people focus on as being important. But as time goes on and more cures are being discovered for various types of cancer, it is still at the forefront of the issue to find better "treatment" for those who are currently suffering.
Today, when you walk around or go anywhere, you will notice that many athletes as well as non-athletes don a yellow silicone bracelet on one of their wrists. As you may or may not remember, when famed athlete, Lance Armstrong was diagnosed with testicular cancer a few years ago, he came out victorious just as he had in many hard fought races before. And this time, he came up with an idea (the silicone bracelet) to help raise awareness as well as money towards cancer research. Today, you can purchase his silicone bracelets online or at many stores around the world. The message is the same no matter where you go: Let's raise money and awareness to help fight for a cure for cancer.
Fundraising and raising awareness really is that simple, and it doesn't cost you that much out of your own pocket- maybe a few bucks. The real result comes from many people purchasing cancer awareness items such as bracelets, charms, clothing and other accessories that you really start to see things add up. Every little bit makes a difference!
