Cancer is a group of diseases where some cells in the body begin to grow and divide abnormally, without control. These abnormal cells can form a mass called a tumor (in most cancers) and may spread to other parts of the body.
Normally, body cells grow, divide and die in an orderly way but in cancer, this process goes wrong. The cells keep growing and don’t die when they should.
Types of cancer:
• Carcinoma: starts in skin or organs (e.g., breast, lung, prostate)
• Sarcoma: starts in bones, muscles, or soft tissues
• Leukemia: cancer of the blood
• Lymphoma: cancer of the lymph system
Causes (risk factors):
• Smoking and alcohol use
• Poor diet and obesity
• Genetic/family history
• Infections (like HPV, Hepatitis 😎
• Exposure to harmful chemicals or radiation
Common symptoms:
• Unexplained weight loss
• Persistent fatigue
• Lumps or swelling
• Long-lasting pain
• Unusual bleeding or discharge
• Slow healing wounds
🚨🔇Cancer is not always preventable, but early detection and treatment greatly improve survival chances.
And to those we have lost to cancer:
Your memories remain alive in our hearts forever. Their lives mattered. Their stories mattered. Their love will never be forgotten. 💛
