CALL us FOR FREE ESTIMATES! Good News! Cancer is not inevitable, nor is it always fatal. There is a lot you can do to prevent it, and if it does occur, to detect it at an early and treatable stage. Even if you have neglected your body for a lifetime, it's not too late to begin practising good health habits: habits that will make a difference in how you feel and in your ability to prevent and detect certain types of cancer. Here is some of the information you will need. What is Cancer? The normal cells in your body reproduce themselves throughout life, replacing worn out tissue and healing wounds. Occasionally, however. some cells grow out of control and spread, forming a mass of tissue called a tumour. Tumours can be either benign or malignant. Malignant tumours are referred to as "cancer" and they can spread. destroying normal tissue. This spread is called metastasis and it happens at different rates. depending on the person and the type of cancer. It is both the process of metastasis and the fact that cancer invades normal tissue. that makes it very important to detect the disease at the earliest possible stage. Myths About Cancer Once you understand what cancer is, it is much easier to disregard some of the myths and misconceptions that cause us needless fear and worry. 0 Injuries such as bruises or sprains don't cause cancer. 0 Cancer is not contagious. O Cancer is usually not hereditary. 0 'Age does not cause cancer. However. malignant tumours do need time to grow so older people have a some- what greater chance ot developing cancer. And Remember . . . There is a great deal that we. as individuals. can do to reduce the incidence of cancer. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and seeing a doctor regularly are major steps in the right direction. Seven Steps To Health 1. Have a medical and dental _check-up. 2. Watch for any change in your normal state of health. 3. Find out about any lump or sore that does not heal. 4. Protect yourself against too much sunfight 5. Do not smoke. 6. Have a Pap test. 7. Do a monthly breast self-examination. Our Biggest Problem Our biggest problem with cancer is the tear that the word arouses. While it is perfectly normal to be afraid of developâ€" ing cancer. we also need to recognize that this fear may prevent us from acting appropriately. If any symptoms do appear. seek medical help immediately. BU I LIIERS COMPLETE BUILDING ELECTRICAL & PLUMBING SERVICE Fully Licenced about your car WAYNE’S SERVICE CENTRE PO.
