To be diagnosed with cancer would be the most devastating news I have ever heard in my life. Living with cancer makes the patients wonder, “How much longer do I have to live.” Rhio O’connor was a very strong willed man who was determined to live his life. He may still be helping other patients have the will to fight for their lives. He has given others a chance to live their lives to the fullest with his discoveries about cancer. When the doctor said he only had one year to live he kept fighting for his life.
I believe I would try to keep my head up and have the same attitude towards life as Rhio decided to. If I was diagnosed with cancer I would travel around the world to talk to every specialist I could find about my diagnosis. I would document and research every recommendation from all of the doctors and search for any answers online, the library, and talking to as many people I can. From that moment on my life will be an adventure, a new beginning every day. I will be determined to find a cure for my so called “incurable” cancer. There are so many medicines in the world today, one day we will find the cure.
Cancer is one of the largest problems we face in the United State. Now that I have been around a person with cancer who has went through chemotherapy and died and a person who has went through chemotherapy and lived, it would be hard to say what the best informed decision would be. Most people would say the chances of living are much greater when you go through chemotherapy, but it is a very painful, emotional draining process and usually people go through hair loss. Chemotherapy only works if your body will react to it the correct way; it is different for every patient.
I do not believe chemotherapy and surgery is the only thing a person can do for a chance at survival. I would use all my research to figure out a way to get rid of cancer on my own. All species were put on this earth to help each other; the cure to cancer may be some where we have not looked yet. We all know we cannot let other species become extinct because they all help humans in some way. I think there may be a plant or animal that has the chemical to cure cancer. Many species have different chemicals they use in their bodies to fight off enemies in their everyday life; one of these species might have the chemical uses to fight cancer also.
I would not want to use any type of drugs to help cure the cancer which is basically what chemotherapy is in different stages. The experts are not for sure certain medicines will help cancer patients; they are just using them for guinea pigs to see if it will work. Since there is no cure for cancer it would not be good to start taking drugs, because the doctors think it might have a small chance of working.
Radiation Therapy may be a good source of therapeutic treatment to help release some of the tension caused from the lack of cells in your body but it is also not a cure for cancer. I think diet, exercise and a good attitude towards life is the only way to survive life threatening cancer. For many Americans it is difficult to get a healthy meal three time a day, the diet is the most critical thing for a person to be strong and healthy. Some processed meats have steroids and other harmful chemicals that humans should not consume on a daily basis, the first think I would do is cut red meats out of my diet and only eat things that I know are healthy for me.
The cure to cancer could even be from a plant matter. Plants also produce different chemicals that are used in medicine today. Plants are used in medical practices for chronic pains, cancer, diabetes, and other serious health related problems. Doctors are only using these plants to help relieve the pain. They might be able to use chemicals from different sources to create something that will cure cancer naturally.
To try to keep a positive attitude I would travel around the world and talk to adults and children about my ideas to cure cancer. If we can find something that will work naturally more people will be willing to try it. Cancer is a very sad thing that many families have to deal with, we all need to put our heads together and try to figure out what we can do to help these people who are fighting for their lives every day.
