subject: Cancer And Other Diseases [print this page] Illness and diseases can be hard for some people to go through and it can also be hard on the family of the victim. I know this from experience myself because my Grandfather has been diagnosed with cancer and was recently being treated with chemotherapy.
It can be hard for the person with cancer to deal with because they feel as if they're dieing that there's nothing they can do about it. They feel as if all they can do is just sit there as the cancer spreads throughout their body. Until they start some sort of treatment they can feel very helpless.
There are also many other diseases that are life threatning and can make a person feel helpless. One of them is Aids. There is still not cure yet for either Aids or cancer, only treatment options. Aids is also known for slowly killing someone over a period of ten or so years.
This doesn't mean that everyone who receives Aids dies from it, but a lot of people do die from this horrible disease.
For these reasons it's extremely important for scientists and doctors to continue on their quest for find new treatments and cures for these horrible diseases. I believe that eventually we will find a cure for cancer, and eventually we will find a cure for Aids, but until then we must contine on our seach for new treatments and for a cure.
There are a lot of people that are helping to find cures for many other diseases as well. I'm positive that the people who are trying to find a cure will continue to work extremely hard until they find one. Until we find a cure we must stick to the treatment options that are currently available. These treatments still help even though they don't cure the disease. It will be a great day whenever a cure is found for cancer.
