Children of workers handling chemical carcinogens have sharply increase cancer rates. For example, the risks of childhood leukemia are increased two-to-five-fold if, during their mother's pregnancies, their fathers worked with spray paints, dyes or pigments.<br /><br />Some 75 percent of all cancers develop in those over 55, but notable exceptions include childhood leukemia, testicular and brain cancers - which mainly strike young people and have been increasing at an alarming rate, particularly among peak age groups For example, there has been an approximate 300 percent increase in testicular cancer among those aged 25-34 since the 1950s.<br /><br />During the 1990s, nearly 2 million women will have been diagnosed with breast cancer and 460,000 will have died. Between 1950 and 1989, the incidence of breast cancer increased by 53 percent.<br /><br />There has been an approximate doubling in. lung cancer rates in recent decades among non- smokers. A wide range of occupational exposures and urban air pollution have been shown to cause lung cancer.madeuplyricshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00675686783539213893noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6098252324923733177.post-8626171538465146262009-03-05T10:02:00.000-08:002009-03-05T10:06:36.381-08:00SHORT LOVE POEMSThese always make me feel inspired and remind me that the best days are ahead of me in life. Some poems can be very long and boring, these are Short Poems - to the point, just the way I like them. When I say <span style="font-weight:bold;">Love Poems</span> I don't always mean of the romance variety. The act of writing poems in itself is for me an act of Love - so all poems, whether short or long are Love Poems.<br /><br />If I can stop one heart from breaking,<br />I shall not live in vain;<br />If I can ease one life the aching,<br />Or cool one pain,<br />Or help one fainting robin<br />Unto his nest again,<br />I shall not live in vain.<br /><br /><br />I Had No Time To Hate<br /><br />I had no time to hate, because<br />The grave would hinder me,<br />And life was not so ample I<br />Could finish enmity.<br /><br />Nor had I time to love, but since<br />Some industry must be,<br />The little toil of love, I thought,<br />Was large enough for me.madeuplyricshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00675686783539213893noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6098252324923733177.post-15884601646660073162009-03-05T09:43:00.001-08:002009-03-05T09:44:03.113-08:00QUOTES ON CANCER - FROM THE EXPERTS"Occupational studies have played a major role in identifying well-established environmental carcinogens, such as asbestos, benzene, arsenic, aromatic amines, coal tars, vinyl chloride, chromium, and wood dust." Measures of Progress Against Cancer - Cancer Prevention, Significant Accomplishments 1982-1992, The National Cancer Institute.<br /><br />"It is well established that primary prevention is the most effective means of disease control. This is particularly true of cancer." Measures of Progress Against Cancer - Cancer Prevention.<br /><br />"Lack of appreciation of the potential hazards of environmental and food source contaminants, and laws, policies, and regulations protecting and promoting tobacco use worsen the cancer problem and drive up health care costs." Cancer At a Crossroads: A Report to Congress for the Nation, National Cancer Advisory Board, September 1994.<br /><br />"While individuals have a responsibility to change high-risk behavior, government and society have responsibilities to identify and prevent workplace and environmental hazards, restrict advertising of unsafe products, require accurate product labeling, and provide culturally targeted education about cancer risk and prevention." Cancer At a Crossroads <br /><br />"The elimination or reduction of exposure to carcinogenic agents is a priority in the prevention of cancer. We are just beginning to understand the full range of health effects resulting from the exposure to occupational and environmental agents and factors." Cancer at a Crossroads <br /><br />"We spend close to $100 billion a year on cancer treatment in this country. If we are going to get on top of this problem, we absolutely have to focus more on prevention." Dr Devra Lee Davis, senior adviser to the assistant secretary for health and human services. Washington Post, February 14. <br />"Everyone should know that the 'war on cancer' is largely a fraud." Linus Pauling, two-time Nobel laureate.<br /><br />"No one should think that because the [Environmental Protection Agency] allows it, a pesticide is safe. No pesticide is safe. They're designed to kill living organisms. They should be treated with respect -including the warnings on the label." Jerome Blondell, EPA's pesticides office.

All waiting achieves is to increase the chance of the cancer spreading and the expense of the treatment. Waiting lists for <em><strong>Cancer needs to be exterminated</strong></em> – it makes no sense. Read an Article from <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1560849/UK-cancer-survival-rate-lowest-in-Europe.html"target="_blank">The Daily Telegraph</a> about the success of treating Lung Cancer when caught early. The UK Cancer survival Rate is the lowest in Europe? is it because the medical profession has learnt that catching and diagnosing Cancer is the best and perhaps most effective way of Cancer Treatment. Chemotherapy and all forms of Cancer Treatment are more effective when an early detection is made. <br /><br /><em><strong>I WAIT FOR CANCER</strong></em><br />I wait,<br />For Cancer,<br />I debate<br />With Cancer,<br />I stare<br />At Cancer,<br />I wait,<br />For Cancer.<br /><br />I stand up,<br />To Cancer,<br />Cancer Patience,<br />Cancer anger,<br />I wait for Cancer,<br />I stare at Cancer.<br /><br />More <a href="http://www.cancer-poems.blogspot.com">Writings on Cancer</a>madeuplyricshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00675686783539213893noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6098252324923733177.post-27042950824427024352008-12-15T12:42:00.000-08:002008-12-16T13:16:36.908-08:00CANCER KILLS - IGNORANCE WILLS - GET THE FACTS ON CANCER<em><strong>CANCER REPORT</strong></em><br />Cancer kills 20,000 people every 24 hours.

Written over 100 years ago my Ann Lowell - who was a brilliant poet with a mind for picking up the simple things in life.<br /><br />On a completely different subject. Do you know what Asymptomatic means? Many Cancers develop without ever showing any signs or symptoms, especially at the early stages of the disease. This is why regular check-ups for Cancer, Mammograms, Colonoscopies can help to find Early Cancer before the actual symptoms of Cancer start to appear.

John McCain is a survivor of many things and one is Melanoma, a form of cancer that begins with Melanocytes(Cell that make pigment Melanin). It sometimes, but not always begins as a Mole – skin Melanoma – but can also start in other pigmented areas. There are over 60,000 new cases of Melanoma each year in the USA - with about 8,400 deaths.

This poem, written by the one and only Oscar Wilde, expresses the hope in life itself, even when Cancer or Sickness has hold of us. He points out the yellow buttercup, the nature surrounding him, the sense that all is at peace. Cancer tries to take ones peace, it forces one to think of sickness, hospitals and hopelessness. In many ways we must always remember that all any of us have is the here and now - and nature is the best way to remember that.<br /><br />We Are Made One with What We Touch and See <br />We are resolved into the supreme air, <br />We are made one with what we touch and see, <br />With our heart's blood each crimson sun is fair, <br />With our young lives each springimpassioned tree <br />Flames into green, the wildest beasts that range <br />The moor our kinsmen are, all life is one, and all is change. <br /><br />With beat of systole and of diastole <br />One grand great life throbs through earth's giant heart, <br />And mighty waves of single Being roll <br />From nerveless germ to man, for we are part <br />Of every rock and bird and beast and hill, <br />One with the things that prey on us, and one with what we kill <br /><br />One sacrament are consecrate, the earth <br />Not we alone hath passions hymeneal, <br />The yellow buttercups that shake for mirth <br />At daybreak know a pleasure not less real <br />Than we do, when in some freshblossoming wood <br />We draw the spring into our hearts, and feel that life is good <br /><br />Is the light vanished from our golden sun, <br />Or is this daedalfashioned earth less fair, <br />That we are nature's heritors, and one <br />With every pulse of life that beats the air? <br />Rather new suns across the sky shall pass, <br />New splendour come unto the flower, new glory to the grass. <br /><br />And we two lovers shall not sit afar, <br />Critics of nature, but the joyous sea <br />Shall be our raiment, and the bearded star <br />Shoot arrows at our pleasure! We shall be <br />Part of the mighty universal whole, <br />And through all Aeons mix and mingle with the Kosmic Soul!. <br /><br />We shall be notes in that great Symphony <br />Whose cadence circles through the rhythmic spheres, <br />And all the live World's throbbing heart shall be <br />One with our heart, the stealthy creeping years <br />Have lost their terrors now, we shall not die, <br />The Universe itself shall be our Immortality!. <br />Oscar Wilde<br /><br /><a href="http://cancer-poems.blogspot.com/2008/12/what-is-cancer-who-gets-it-and-why-with.html"target="_blank">Who gets Cancer?</a>madeuplyricshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00675686783539213893noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6098252324923733177.post-57380319496212267092008-12-02T11:25:00.000-08:002008-12-02T11:32:35.168-08:00THE CANCER MEDICAL ENCYCLOPEDIA WITH A SPECIAL PIECE OF WRITINGDid you know - there are hundreds of different kinds of Cancer?<br />Did you know - some cancers have higher occurences in different geographical areas?<br />Did you know - Lung Cancer is the most common-cause of cancer-related death and it is mainly caused by SMOKING.<br />Did you know - Cancer can appear in almost any part of the body.<br />Go to the <a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001289.htm">Cancer Medical Encyclopedia</a><br /><br />This happens to be one of my favorite poems - enjoy.<br /><br />Hope by Emily Bronte<br />Hope was but a timid friend;<br />She sat without the grated den,<br />Watching how my fate would tend,<br />Even as selfish-hearted men. <br /><br />She was cruel in her fear;<br />Through the bars, one dreary day,<br />I looked out to see her there,<br />And she turned her face away! <br /><br />Like a false guard, false watch keeping,<br />Still, in strife, she whispered peace;<br />She would sing while I was weeping;<br />If I listened, she would cease. <br /><br />False she was, and unrelenting;<br />When my last joys strewed the ground,<br />Even Sorrow saw, repenting,<br />Those sad relics scattered round; <br /><br />Hope, whose whisper would have given<br />Balm to all my frenzied pain,<br />Stretched her wings, and soared to heaven,<br />Went, and ne'er returned again! <br /><br />Go back to <a href="http://cancer-poems.blogspot.com/"target="_blank">Poems about Cancer</a> Homepagemadeuplyricshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00675686783539213893noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6098252324923733177.post-4157110138429817672008-12-02T10:36:00.001-08:002008-12-02T10:43:31.832-08:00THINK OF CANCER - WITH LINKS ABOUT MOUTH AND THROAT CANCERThe snow outside makes me think of Cancer,<br />The moon at night makes me think of Cancer,<br />The stars so bright makes me think of Cancer,<br />It has taken you away.<br /><br />The worried faces make me think of Cancer,<br />The sound of strangers make me think of Cancer,<br />The clouds above me make me think of Cancer,<br />It has taken you away.<br /><br />Written by a grieving Brother...<br /><br />CANCER LINKS<br />Smokers have a higher chance of getting Cancer of the Mouth and Throat.

Common examples of benign tumors include moles and uterine fibroids.<br /><br />But still I think at eve you come to me<br />For old, delightsome speech of eye and lip,<br />Deeming our mutual converse thus to be<br />Fairer than archangelic comradeship;<br />Dearer our close communings fondly given<br />Than all the rainbow dreams a spirit knows,<br />Sweeter my gathered violets than the rose<br />Upon the hills of heaven. <br /><br />Can any exquisite, unearthly morn,<br />Silverly breaking o'er a starry plain,<br />Give to your soul the poignant pleasure born<br />Of virgin moon and sunset's lustrous stain<br />When we together watch them ?

I cry. God's kind words come --<br />"Her future is with Me, as was her past;<br />It shall be My good will to bring her home<br />At last."<br /><br /><em><strong>WHAT IS CANCER - WHO GETS IT AND WHY?</strong></em><br /><strong>Cancer</strong> (medical term: malignant neoplasm) is a class of diseases in which a group of cells display uncontrolled growth (division beyond the normal limits), invasion (intrusion on and destruction of adjacent tissues), and sometimes metastasis (spread to other locations in the body via lymph or blood). These three malignant properties of cancers differentiate them from benign tumors, which are self-limited, do not invade or metastasize. Most cancers form a tumor but some, like leukemia, do not. The branch of medicine concerned with the study, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of <strong><em>cancer is oncology</em></strong>.<br /><br />Cancer may affect people at all ages, even fetuses, but the risk for most varieties increases with age.[1] Cancer causes about 13% of all deaths.[2] According to the <strong>American Cancer Society</strong>, 7.6 million people died from cancer in the world during 2007.[3] Cancers can affect all animals.<br /><br />Nearly all cancers are caused by abnormalities in the genetic material of the transformed cells. These abnormalities may be due to the effects of carcinogens, such as tobacco smoke, radiation, chemicals, or infectious agents. Other cancer-promoting genetic abnormalities may be randomly acquired through errors in DNA replication, or are inherited, and thus present in all cells from birth. The heritability of cancers are usually affected by complex interactions between carcinogens and the host's genome. New aspects of the genetics of cancer pathogenesis, such as DNA methylation, and microRNAs are increasingly recognized as important. <br /><br />For more information go to - <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancer"target="_blank">The Wikipedia Cancer Page</a> <br />Go back to <a href="http://cancer-poems.blogspot.com/"target="_blank">Poetry Cancer</a> Homepagemadeuplyricshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00675686783539213893noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6098252324923733177.post-11945018041814971642008-12-02T09:15:00.000-08:002008-12-02T09:22:02.254-08:00COLON CANCER LINKS - WITH A POEM BY ANNE BRONTE<em><strong>WHAT IS COLON CANCER?</strong></em><br />Colon cancer is the cancer of the colon or Large Intestine, which is in the lower half on the disgestive system.
