I am reposting this link to the Wired magazine article from my post the other day.
I encourage you to read it and pass it on...you can also just pass on the link to this post.
You could save your own life or that of someone you love.
Here's the article link:
With cancer, catching it early is key.
In fact, there's a great article in Wired magazine this month about just that - the fact that catching it early is key.
The article is called "The Truth About Cancer" - I was blown away. Bravo to Thomas Goetz on a well-written, necessary piece of information...and bravo to Wired for having the balls to put this out there.
The cancer survival rate if it's caught early is 90%. If later, that number drops to 10%.
I've known this truth about cancer from my own experience.
This disease strikes such fear because people don't fully understand the nature of the beast.
Yes, it's scary as hell to hear the words, "It was cancer."
Part of the reason cancer is so scary for so many is that it's not caught until it's darn near too late.
