I'm scared...... why young people also can get cancer?
-
my cousin died at 25......
also saw a blog of cancer patient, she is also 25......
my friend's friend, non-smoker, also about the same age - lung cancer
Why the world becomes like this
how to prevent cancer?
doctor says early detection early treatment, more chance of recovery.
But cancer often develops without any symptom, how to detect early? -
since when cancer is biased against the young only?
go hospital for check up every year lor
like for gals, they always have mammogram for breast cancer detection -
go for health check-up regularyOriginally posted by kog:my cousin died at 25......

yup..
cancer can be any age lei..who say young ppple wont get..only chance lower nia..
so..yea..who knows..
life is like that..u nv know -
For young people to get cancer, it's likely to be some form of genetic predisposition. If you don't have a history of cancer in your family, you're unlikely to get cancer at a young age.

I also do not have cancer history in my family. totally none of my families died of cancer. they live to a ripe ugly old age and died or died thru accidents.Originally posted by kaister:For young people to get cancer, it's likely to be some form of genetic predisposition.

But I had cancer at age 30. It was thankfully detected early so It was removed.
Have anyone really questions that it may be our pollution of the environment that triggers these cancers? -
Cancer knows no age limits.

Depends on the type of cancer. Many leukaemias are common in children...cervical cancer affects sexually active women, who can be quite young...Originally posted by viciouskitty74:I also do not have cancer history in my family. totally none of my families died of cancer. they live to a ripe ugly old age and died or died thru accidents.

Aye...but not all cervical/womb cancer is due to sexual activity.Originally posted by oxford mushroom:Depends on the type of cancer. Many leukaemias are common in children...cervical cancer affects sexually active women, who can be quite young... -
Virgins has that probelm too.Originally posted by viciouskitty74:Aye...but not all cervical/womb cancer is due to sexual activity. -
See you heng or sway loh.
Some people smoke tonnes of cigarettes and eat one egg everyday also very healthy.
Some people watch their diet, and don't smoke also tio.
Better live a happy life lah; healthy or not; up to you.

There are tons of carcinogenic factors (cancer causing) in our environment. Sometimes incidental mutations may allow the cells to proliferate uncontrollable.Originally posted by viciouskitty74:I also do not have cancer history in my family. totally none of my families died of cancer. they live to a ripe ugly old age and died or died thru accidents.

Some examples of such factors include our sun (hole in ozone), chemicals, radiation and even chronic inflammation.
In short, it all boils down to luck. Luckily for you, your cancer is benign and readily removable.
May I ask what cancer did you get? -
MOST cervical cancers associated with human papilloma virus (same virus that cause genital warts). So ya, technically they are transmitted by sexual activities.Originally posted by viciouskitty74:Aye...but not all cervical/womb cancer is due to sexual activity.
Womb cancers (endometrical cancers) are linked to hormonal exposure. So gals who have their first menses early and their menopause late are at high risk. -
anything that is excessive is bad for health and who know you might get some diease from the hospital so many sick patients thereOriginally posted by kaeden:go for health check-up regulary
the above post was joking for those who think it is normal post -
You're telling people not to go for their regular check up?? You don't have to go to the hospital to check. Just go to your regular GP.Originally posted by ghimpheng:anything that is excessive is bad for health and who know you might get some diease from the hospital so many sick patients there

One should always take preventive measures cos' prevention is better than cure. -
Dont worry. Eat veggie and fruits, sleep enough, excersice.

I also scared.
But live life to its fullest!!

human life expectancy is getting longer and longer. so i dun see whats wrong with people dying young. prevent overpopulation. free up more resources.

HPV acceralates the formations of cervical cancer. Any female, as long as you are engage in sexual activity, even with one partner will and can develop cancer.
I trust thats why you capitalised the word MOST.
Truth is, everyone one of us already has cancer cells. The cells only turns bad due to triggers. It can be from food, dieseases or even a simple bump on your bones.
BTW, when is it considered early to have a girls first menses? -
Thats unfortunately the problem.Originally posted by digicharat:human life expectancy is getting longer and longer. so i dun see whats wrong with people dying young. prevent overpopulation. free up more resources.
Human life is getting longer and longer, and we have better medical technology to help it along.
Even with cancer, a person might have to suffer thru 13 years before one actually dies. And that eats into resources more then ever. -
Veggies & fruits, insecticide and preservatives.Originally posted by #$%^&*:Dont worry. Eat veggie and fruits, sleep enough, excersice.
Sleep enough. radio waves and electricity cables generative magenectic waves. ala cancer cluster housings in USA?
exercise....thus SG haze? -
Not true. I spoke to one Ambulance driver- he tells me cancer very quick esp. advanced stage, most don't last more than 6 mths.Originally posted by viciouskitty74:Thats unfortunately the problem.

Those suffering from kidney failure is worst. Got a fren whose mother-in-law needs dialysis 3 times a week, she has been undergoing treatment for years & the family is in dire straits -

you are so cruel. -
Yes, most are sexually transmitted technically and that was the point I was trying to make. The causal association is almost affirmative (>90% cervical cancer is triggered by HPV). However, having only one partner is not a risk factor.Originally posted by viciouskitty74:Sorry, the word is not transmitted.

Some risk factors:
* Having sex at an early age
* Multiple sexual partners
* Sexual partners who have multiple partners or who participate in high-risk sexual activities
* Women whose mothers took the drug DES (diethylstilbestrol) during pregnancy in the early 1970s to prevent miscarriage
* Long-term use of birth control pills (more than 5 years)
* Weakened immune system
* Infections with genital herpes or chronic chlamydia infections
* Poor economic status (may not be able to afford regular Pap smears)
Cervical cancer is 100% preventable by screening (through PAP smears) and they develop slowly. So please go for screening if you're above 40 years old.
The average age is 12 but anywhere from 8 to 16 is considered as normal. Early menses is quite subjective and anywhere prior to 10 years of age can be considered early.Originally posted by viciouskitty74:BTW, when is it considered early to have a girls first menses?
