Are you kidding...

Cancer is not a wonderful thing and people die from it every hour.

It eats at your insdies until they give in. It's usually a long slow death. If you're going to talk about it be educated about it

cancer is a bad thing i know atleast 10 ppl who have had it and atleast 3 of them died from it. My grandmother had it 6 years ago and she lived but it messed her up a lil bit she is permantely scared for life, my amazing grandmother recently had lung cancer and she doesn't even smoke! my mom had cancer 2 years ago, and a girl in my school had cancer. It is a dealy thing and its not fun to have!! you can die! my amazing grandmother who i was really close with died in 2001 cuz she had the worst type of cancer there is, you have it then the doctors think they got it out but it comes back within 2 weeks and your dead and thats wht happend to her and when you loose someone due to cancer its not fun!

Depends on the type of cancer. All cancers are not created equally. Slow growing, less likely to spread (metastasize) cancers would be less likely to create problems, and can be effectively cured simply by excising the bad cells. If that is the case, to cut is to cure. An example is a basal cell carcinoma of the skin. On the other hand, if you were to have a cancer which had already spread to multiple organ systems, the chance for cure will be less likely.



Today, in general, cancer isn't necessarily the death sentence it used to be. More and more, treatments can significantly improve patient survival.



To answer your question, a lot people still die form cancer(s). Survival rates continue to improve. However, heart disease is still the number one killer in the U.S.



I am a physician.

It varies many from cancer to cancer and from person to person. Some cancers are more aggressive than others and we have found better treatments for some types of cancer than we have for other types.



Overall, the treatments are much, much better than they used to be and are getting better all the time. The medicines used to treat the side effects of the cancer treatments are much more effective now, too.



Cancer is still a very grave and life jeopardizing disease, and it still claims technique too a lot lives (even one life will be too many), but it's not the automatic death sentence that a lot people still think it is. Six years ago I was diagnosed with very aggressive stage three lobular breast cancer ( a type that is usually slow growing but not in my case). It was already in a third of my lymph nodes.



It took a year of treatments, but thanks to the current medicines they have to fight the side effects, I went to Disney World, the beach, and did all kinds of fun things during my treatments.



Five years after the completion of the treatments I am still cancer free and everything appearance good.

It is bad.. I have Lymphomascitic Lymphoma.. After 7 treatments I am in remission,,,Yes loads of people still die from Cancer......
