The events in Norway, where more than 100 people have been grabbed out of their lives, are shocking and obscene. Chaotic, addicted Amy Winehouse’s death may seem less surprising, but for the people who loved her will be just as much of a shock. We never think it will happen today, do we? We understand, intellectually, that at some point the people around us will die: that we can’t all just go on forever. But – not today. Today we are well. Today, things will go on as normal, because we have stuff in our diary, there is food for the next week in the fridge, and, well, why would anything bad happen today? One of the great disservices cancer has done me is that it has made me think of death differently. Even though I am thrivi...

Miller, who died of complications arising from stage 4 colorectal cancer earlier this month. But I came across his final blog post and wanted you to see it. The post is here. I’ve written about dying of cancer, and on what I hope for and how we need to think and plan for what our death will be. My perspectives are theoretical, as I’m very much alive. I hope that, when (and however) it comes to it, I will be able to muster a tenth of the candour, vision and grace under pressure of this man.

Literally, all the time, as in someone, somewhere has died of cancer since you started reading this post. That’s the reason for the moment of bleak horror that we all have when we are told we have a cancer, or when someone else tells us that they do. Just for a second, before our logical processes kick in and we think about treatment and survival rates and all the people we know who have danced with cancer and lived – what we think about is that people die of cancer all the time. (About one person a minute worldwide. Somewhere, another family started grieving as you read that last sentence.) Of course, I try not to focus on this; and I try not to focus you on this either.

His question made me realize that there are some facts that everyone should know about prostate cancer.

Quite catchy eh? I totally agree. From the said report, it says: “The difference in death rates between highly educated and poorly educated people in the United States is very wide and growing wider”. For Americans with less than a high school education, the risk of dying prematurely is on the increase — rising most quickly for white women in that category. In contrast, the risk of premature death among college graduates is falling — fastest of all for black men. White high school dropouts are four times as likely to die young as white college graduates, up from a threefold difference in the early 1990s. Among ...

And if living to a ripe old age is on your “To Do” list, you may want to consider gaining a higher education. So, does that mean those with a college degree will live longer than their less-educated counterparts? Perhaps. Epidemiologists from the American Cancer Society and scientists from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) teamed up to analyze the data and death certificate information of more than three and a half million deaths which occurred between 1993 and 2001. During that time period, an evident gap emerged between those in different educational brackets. The most educated folks saw a significant decrease in death rates from ...

To illustrate what some term an “autism epidemic” (including three presidential candidates), people regularly compare the prevalence rate of children diagnosed with autism to that of children diagnosed with childhood cancer (1.5 per 10,000 children) or to the rate of children who have three diseases, “pediatric cancer, diabetes, and AIDS combined. (And you can go here to review the NIH’s estimated funding for various diseases, conditions, and research areas.) The purpose of comparing the autism rate to that of childhood cancer and other diseases is to convey how pervasive autism has become (or seems to have become). An unf...

Nothing prepared my family for the shock of his death and we are still trying to deal with it. The ironic thing is my father was scheduled for a colonoscopy the day after we took him to the ER.

The paper came under withering criticism by scientists and nutritionists who had been preaching the gospel of weight control. “Libertarian” organizations funded by the food industry, such as “Food Freedom”, piled on with glee. Their basic message: you can’t trust those scientists; just let the consumer beware (and, I presume, let Darwin and the forces of the “free” market weed out those who did not).

Just like metastatic liver cancer was grim. Not to mention my uncle who died of pancreatic liver cancer as well. yet I can hear you say: people die all the time. And I can hear others say: I pray that my loved one won’t die… Just read on and judge for yourself. It’s not about me but it’s about you or your loved one, and every case is different! Pancreatic cancer prognosis Pancreatic cancer is a disease normally associated with older people between the ages of 60 and 80. Men are almost twice as likely to get afflicted with this disease as women. Countries with the highest frequencies of pancreatic cancer are New Zealand , Western Europe, Scandin...

Just that months ago I was so busy and so emotional involved, that the few posts I wrote those days maybe are a bit out of chronological context. We - that is father and me - started the blog, but at the end stage of father’s liver cancer, I took over. Mainly in a quite emotional state where now hearing about Pavarotti, things fall back to place. Cure for pancreatic cancer I think the first thing I did when I heard about fathers cancer, was googling for a cure. Same I did when I heard about Pavarotti: what could be done to cure him? Or did he just make the decision to let live take its course… For what I read on the Internet: pancreatic cancer is often far advance...

(read also previous post: Pavarotti pancreatic cancer) Pancreatic cancer symptoms Early symptoms of pancreatic cancers can include: weight loss, loss of appetite, general discomfort or pain around the stomach area, back pain and jaundice About 5 out of 10 people have jaundice when they first go and see their doctors. Father who died from metastatic liver cancer never ever showed signs of jaundice! All in all more or less the same as saying: you probably don’t know it before it is already far evolved, sounds quite similar to fathers metastatic liver cancer.

Today, on July 14th, I will make breakfast, go to the gym, try to get some work done and have dinner with my family. But the significance of the day won't be lost on me. It was 2 years ago today that I watched my dad take his final breath, losing his short battle with cancer. It's an awful thing to see -- watching someone wheezing, struggling to get air, then finally giving up -- and I had nightmares about that for so long, nightmares in which I was the one struggling to breathe. The last time I saw my dad alive, we were fighting -- he, trying to take off his oxygen mask because it was pinching his nose; I, forcing it back on, forcing him to breathe, for my sake more than...

At the time, Sills -- sick with cancer -- was in a Manhattan hospital, gravely ill, with her daughter by her side. I didn't name her cancer because I didn't know of her specific condition. Now, as I've just learned of her death, I know more about her illness.Sills, described in this news story as "the Brooklyn-born opera diva who was a global icon of can-do American culture with her dazzling voice, bubbly personality and management moxie in the arts world," died on Monday of inoperable lung cancer at the age of 78. She died at her Manhattan home with her family and doctor by her side. She was a non-smoker.Sills' illness was revealed just last m...
