Different Types of Cancer

May 1, 2009 by  

If you can believe it, there are more than a hundred types of cancer – it is just that we get bombarded with the kinds that are most common. These more known cancer types include breast, lung, colon, and prostate. Aside from these, you may have heard about other types such as brain (tumors), bladder, cervical, endometrial, esophageal, head and neck, kidney, leukemia, and lymphoma.

Others however literally have no clear ideas on what exactly are these kinds of debilitating diseases. Cancer is a condition that occurs when damaged cells in any part of the body reproduce at a rapid rate. Normally, cells would grow, divide, and then die in a particular time frame. When a body is young, cells usually reproduce faster. As the body grows older, this slows down and typically just happens when a cell dies or when the body suffers from injuries.

Cancer cells however, have a process of their own: the cells become damaged because of the damage that stems from the DNA they contain. DNA damage can be cause by reasons that we all know – lifestyles. Smoking, a bad diet, pollution – these are just some of the factors that can damage DNA. The bad news though, is that cancer cells can also be caused by reasons as of yet unknown. Even people who live in a healthy fashion can suffer from cancer too.

They just keep on reproducing and since these cells are abnormal, the cells they produce are abnormal as well. Because of the rapid rate that these damaged cells reproduce, they tend to spread to other tissues and damage the cells there as well.

    The only way to be sure is to take him to the vet. However feline leukemia is a pretty nasty virus, and it could well be causing his problems. I've been told by my vet that it's much more likely to cause problems for cats under 2 as well, because they don't have mature immune systems, so him being young is a factor.

    I hope things turn out well, but I think you should prepare for some difficult decisions. I certainly hope you will have him for a long time yet, but if it is the FeLV, then don't 'do everything' just for the sake of 'doing everything'. Some cats cope well with a lot of treatment, some don't. Make decisions based on whether YOUR CAT wil have a good quality of life (and remember he won't have a good quality of life if you are not…). Do your best for him, including taking the hardest decision when the time comes. Ask the vet lots of questions.

    They eat western fence lizards, a biological sink for Lyme disease in the western US. Don't suppose incidence of Lyme disease in humans will rise because of the establishment another alien species (turkeys) do you? May turn out to be another unexpcected consequence of human ignorance and greed.

    It's the acorns not the seedlings that are directly at risk.

    Ha ha, I like that. Actually, it's no laughing matter for those of us with lyme disease. I have a daughter with it as well. Hers is manifesting with extreme JRA. We live in a lyme infested area, but I never found a tick on her. She's been on antibiotics and when we give her a break from the antibiotics, her red swollen joints and pain return. It is in fact a disease that we are struggling to be done with. I've had it for ears becasue it was never diagnosed since there are no definitive lab tests for lyme disease. Praying for a cure.

    So Vlad, you've never actually met her, like touched her?? Right? That "doctor" is a liar. Would either one of them happen to be asking for some money from you??

    Hmmm exact day you met her huh? May they possibly be one in the same person, playing you for a fool and trying to get you to send money for her very expensive herbal treatments?

    Energetic, full of life, and tired because of blood cancer is not possible…

    So, you don't know if her family is wealthy or not. You don't know that the "doctor" has treated anyone with great success. What is the address of his practice? Or give me his name. I will look him up. If you've never met her IRL, you are being played for a fool..
