You have no doubt heard or used the expression breaking down. Breaking down, means to show one’s feelings, usually sadness. It is inexplicably ironic that a natural emotion is given a negative euphemistic name

Beginning at a young age, boys are primarily valued for achievement, stoicism and heroism. Men are primarily valued for achievement, stoicism, heroism and financial success. Being valued for achievement, success, stoicism and ‘heroism’ produces arrogance and grandiosity with little inner well-being.

Cancer is a serious illness. It is also a “misrepresented and misunderstood” illness. Patients go to their doctors hoping to be cured of their cancers. Often, they failed to find that elusive cure. My experience showed me that those patients who have cancer for the first time and who have no relatives or friends with cancer before, have the misconceived notion that medical science can cure cancer. They would say: “What is the problem, with my money and the best doctors, the best hospitals and the best chemo-drugs, the problem can be easily fixed.”

The symptoms of ovarian cancer can appear months before the cancer is found. Unless a woman is getting the tests that would reveal the cancer these symptoms many times wont be diagnosed. This alone is one of the problems with detecting ovarian cancer in its early stages. The symptoms of ovarian cancer are quite often dismissed due to the fact that they can be rather benign.

Stomach swelling and digestive problems for instance which are common symptoms of the presence of ovarian can be easily dismissed and ignored. Stomach problems are something everyone experiences at various times in their life. Ovarian cancer afflicts more than twenty-two- thousand women annually in the U.S. If caught in the early stages this cancer is treatable as goes for many other cancers.

Four days after I got engaged in March of this year I was diagnosed with cervical cancer. The doctor said, “You have a cauliflower growth on your cervix. That’s not normal. I am booking you in to see a specialist.”

A myriad of tests and a few weeks later I am getting ready to go into hospital tomorrow and have what is called a ‘radical trachelectomy’ - removal of the cervix, leaving the uterus and ovaries intact in order to preserve my fertility.

For most of our lives, the immune system deals with cancer cells by killing them off as they develop, that is its job. On the other hand, when cancer has developed and medical treatments are preventing the immune system from functioning normally, it is not only wise to have a plan for strengthening the immune system, it is vital.

When waging war against cancer, or any ailment taking steps to bolster the immune system is half the battle — especially if medical treatments are impairing the functionality of the immune system and making the body more acidic.

Well guys here it is- a letter from a friend of mine in the USA, received after I told him I had been diagnosed with prostate cancer. This letter encompasses some widely held beliefs -

Dear Dan,
I am glad to get the news that your prostate cancer has been contained. I didn’t know you had this problem.
The best prevention is to jack your dick regularly, which I do.
The seminal vesicals need to be emptied on a schedule. I jack off one night, then I skip two, and do it again.
