Question Posted Sunday July 30 2006, 3:06 pm

I wouldnt say that I'm frightened of death, but I am very frightened by the process of dying, particularly thru illness. As with most people, I have unfortunately known people in my life to have developed cancer or something similar, and died from it.The thought that this can happen terrifies me, and I cant understand why no one else seems to feel the same way. Can anyone tell me; generally, do you know if you have a cancer early enough for it to be treated? Is it common for a cancer to develop inside you and for you to have no idea until it's too late? Thank you, I rate fives.

I feel the same way as you. Sometimes I feel frightened of death. Just the idea of it. It is a horrible picture to imagine. But if you do catch the cancer early enough, you still got to go through radiation therapy and/or chemothereapy. with months of cancer battles, you can whipe the cancer out of you, however, you can possibly get life-threatening changes, like a major decrease of years to live, losing limbs, or organs. It happens, And if too late you may only have weeks or months to live, and other cases some years, as well. With some cases, an option to go through chemo.

In most cases cancer isn't obvious to notice, but can be suspicious. For example, just like breast cancer, you may not see it, but if you feel bumps in the breasts getting larger then that's something to worry about. Reproductive-related cancers can be not-so-obvious to spot either but getting pains in the abdomen or lower can be some signs.

Don't feel so negative about death though. Getting years to live is better than dying tomorrow of illness.

First of all cancer is generally caught early espcially if you are aware and know your body. Go for regular check-ups with your doctor and also if cancer runs in your family then talk to your doctor about genetic testing, what happens is they can test you to see if you carry a gene that increases the risk that you will develop cancer.

Other then that worrying actually is worse for your body then most toxins so try and not think about it, hard I know but at least if you are armed with the facts you will be healthy for a very long time.

My mom got breast cancer. She found it early is ok now. Usually people notice it early enough. Also, when you have your physical, doctors check for that kind of stuff. And even if you do get cancer and may soon die, live life till the end and enjoy every minute of it.

Well, I dont worry about it, because in my opinion, worrying makes your life shorter.
The best you can do is go to your routinely checkups and be checked out for everything, like cancer or if you feel any lumps anywhere.
There really isnt a lot to worry about unless cancer has been in your family line, and its hereditery, like your grandma had it your mother, her sister, something like that, that increases the risk of you getting it, but if not I really woudlnt worry about it. It all depends on the type of cancer, some starts showing, and yes some develops inside of you and is unseen for a while, but as long as you go to your checkups and what not, I think you're pretty good.
