Are we prepared for 18 million cancer survivors?An estimated 13.7 million Americans with a history of cancer were alive on January 1, 2012, according to a new report from the American Cancer Society (ACS) in collaboration with the National Cancer Institute. Researchers expect the number of cancer survivors to rise to 18 million by 2022. The report, published Thursday, says currently one in three women and one in two men in the U.S. will develop cancer during their lifetime. “Increases in the number of individuals diagnosed with cancer each year, due in large part to aging and growth of the population, as well as improving survival rates, have led to an ever-increasing number of cancer survivors," the authors of the report write. Unfortunately, doctors may not be prepared to deal with the problems cancer survivors face. "More can certainly be done [in terms] of what the needs are and how they can best be met," study author and ACS epidemiologist Carol DeSantis said. "ACS assesses the gaps in resources and finds ways to fulfill those needs." Long-term effects from the treatment, including chemotherapy and radiation, and from the cancer itself can be debilitating. For example, cancer survivors like Robin Roberts, can face blood disorders years after they go into remission. Others deal with osteoporosis from the damage chemotherapy inflicts on a body's bone marrow. Treatment can also cause cardiovascular problems, cognitive defects and muscle pain. Just as pressing may be the psychological effects for patients who fear the recurrence of their cancer, or who realize the higher risk of being diagnosed with a secondary cancer. “Survivors are relieved to have completed treatment, but may need to make physical, emotional, social, and spiritual adjustments to find a 'new normal,'" the authors write. |

SO FAR, I AM A PROSTATE CANCER SURVIVOR. I HAVE BEEN 0.00-0.01 FOR OVER A YEAR WITHOUT HORMONE SHOTS OR MEDS...YEAH HAD SURGERY, RADIATION, 2 SHOTS EARLY ON....BUT WISH I HAD NOT! TOO MANY DOCTORS GIVE THOSE SHOTS AND I BELIEVE THEY TAKE AWAY ALOT OF ENERGY LIKE RADIATION. YEAH I AM 61 BUT IVE NOTICED I FEEL A LITTLE BETTER WITHOUT THOSE SHOTS...LIKE EVERYTHING IN LIFE, THERE IS A GIVE AND TAKE. WE ALL HAVE TO DIE. BUT FOR SOME, WHY SO SOON? DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO FOR YOU!

One thing I'd like to say is car insurance termination is a feared experience and if you're doing the best things as being a driver you will not get one. Many people do get the notice that they are officially dropped by the insurance company they then have to struggle to get extra insurance from a cancellation. Cheap auto insurance rates are often hard to get after a cancellation. Understanding the main reasons pertaining to auto insurance cancellation can help individuals prevent burning off one of the most important privileges out there. Thanks for the concepts shared by your blog.
