DIFFERENT TYPES OF CANCER

Hi ya all. I am sorry I could not post any thing yesterday; I was feeling a little weak. Any how I was reading a newspaper and saw this article that I think you all deserve to see.

Let me ask you a question, how many types of cancer do you think is available? 10, 20? Well from the article, it wrote on 13 but I found out that there exists 25 types (Wow! That is Major!). I also did not know that there is cancer of the Throat. So I decided that if I didn’t know that, there is a great possibility that a lot of you guys might not know too.

The article shows known cancers, what you should look out for and what you can do. You could print out the page and give it to your family and friends. The more people know about cancer and ways to prevent them, the better for all of us.
