I have survived cancer on three different occasions, during my walk in this lifetime. So I said to myself, what can I do to help others that are going through this in their life right now? The answer was easy for me as I remember what I went through.
I would have to say, that early detection is a very important key in the treatment and possible cure of cancer. There are many different kinds of cancer and each has a wide variety of symptoms. I think that it is important to list as many of them and their ongoing symptoms; in this respect it may aid another if showing these tell tail signs to seek medical aid.
There are many forms of treatment that may help and even cure this sickness of the physical body. One may seek modern medicine or alternative medicine. That is a personal choice and the choice is ours to make. In today's world both are readily available.
Below I will try and list as many forms of cancer as I can and their symptoms; if I don't list them all is only due to my poor memories as my aging mind tends to get forgetful these days so I indulge upon your patience and understanding concerning this?

I feel that it only fair to mention both forms of treatments in use today in our modern society. There is room in our society to combine both modern and alternate medicines. This being said, the choice again is personal and ones own.
Modern Medicine uses many kinds of treatment and with its advances in technology; newer treatments are also coming forward. Some of these treatments are as follows:
