I was aware that cancer was difficult to treat but did not know that there is no actual cure for cancer as each individual's response to the cancer and treatment are complicatedly different.The Velvet Panoplyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15405568234748815697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8950389611533037316.post-74093915901654311392015-09-27T18:24:41.193+02:002015-09-27T18:24:41.193+02:00Oh thank you so much Christine!

I'm posting one post a week about cancer, so that the blog doesn't get too serious either.<br />I'm glad you like to learn in this way! It makes me very proud.<br />Much loveCurls n Cakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09304523865399129191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8950389611533037316.post-25197790042171934842015-09-27T18:21:34.963+02:002015-09-27T18:21:34.963+02:00Well I think the problem is that we talk about can...Well I think the problem is that we talk about cancer as if it were one thing. And that stems from the time cancer got its name. I am happy that you like these posts, and thank you so much for your lovely compliment. Explaining it in a good way is hard, but super important if we want to pass on knowledge. I'm sorry you've lost family members to cancer. I hope they rest in peace.<br /><br />Thank you! It's really comfy too!<br />Thank you, you too.<br /><br />Much loveCurls n Cakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09304523865399129191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8950389611533037316.post-69438553265842441792015-09-27T10:31:28.766+02:002015-09-27T10:31:28.766+02:00I really enjoy your posts more and more.

I love to learn more about it in this way, because biology never was my favourite subject :/<br />Much love, ChristineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8950389611533037316.post-44333597214673136672015-09-26T19:43:41.977+02:002015-09-26T19:43:41.977+02:00I completely agree with Devinne's comment - I ...I completely agree with Devinne's comment - I had no idea there was not a one-size-fits-all cure for cancer. As I'm reading your posts, I'm actually surprised at how little I know about cancer...despite having lost several family members to it. Thank you for doing these posts - this is something I really want to be more educated on and you explain it so well!<br /><br />Also, your dress is adorable! I can't help but think of fall when I see it. :)<br /><br />Hope you're having a great weekend, Mona!<br /><br />-Lindsey<br />have-clothes-will-travel.comLindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05809931732455701147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8950389611533037316.post-68235929218868037482015-09-26T19:39:01.254+02:002015-09-26T19:39:01.254+02:00Oh thank you so much sweetie! <3
It's not ...Oh thank you so much sweetie! <3<br /><br />It's not at all unusual to think there is one cure for cancer. And that's probably because we talk of cancer as if it were one thing, when it isn't. Only in my own area of colorectal cancer there are so many different kinds and subgroups.<br />Yes it is scary, but as I quickly mentioned in the post, we are in research reaching the place where we will give more individualised treatments to people. Thank you for your lovely comment, very kind of you!<br />Much loveCurls n Cakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09304523865399129191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8950389611533037316.post-9907560606631953132015-09-26T19:17:59.905+02:002015-09-26T19:17:59.905+02:00Oh, how I love a tartan dress in autumn!

I honestly had no idea that there's not a one-size-fits-all cure for cancer. I thought it was all pretty much the same and that the type of treatment just depended on what stage the cancer was in. It's kind of scary to think that there are so many unique versions of the disease, so I am very much looking forward to your next post!!!moxandsockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07310139533475949876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8950389611533037316.post-10492891026977974602015-09-26T16:56:36.886+02:002015-09-26T16:56:36.886+02:00Your comment made me well up!

But how nice that your grandmother made it. It sounds to me like your family might have a genetic change that predispose you to colon cancer. I don't know how it works in the UK but for sure go to the check-ups that they offer you. You're still young but try and keep healthy. Alcohol, smoking and a lot of fatty foods and red meat has been connected to colon cancer. On the other hand a high fibre diet is protective. There is no need for you to worry more than others. Cancer is very prevalent for all of us, so worrying about it won't help. Instead getting educated about symptoms and early signs is a good idea. I'll help out in that and say this: As long as your bowel is normal (normal for you, we all have differences in our stools and bowel movements) and you have no inexplainable pain, you're most likely good ;)<br />My work is indeed specialised to colon cancer, and it is even specialised to the genetics of colon cancer, I will come to my own research further on in the cancer series. Thank you so much for your super kind words, it makes me so happy and yes, proud. Thank you and soooo much love to you!Curls n Cakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09304523865399129191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8950389611533037316.post-31871229063562369742015-09-26T16:36:24.751+02:002015-09-26T16:36:24.751+02:00How I missed these posts I have no idea but I'...How I missed these posts I have no idea but I've just gone back and read them. Your work is amazing Mona. I knew about your job before but I didn't know that you specialise in colon cancer. My dad sadly died from colon cancer when I was a little girl and about 8 years ago my grandma had it too but she survived and is still with us. My uncle has also had pre cancerous tumours removed in the last few years. Being so prominent in my family it is a little worrying but I'm so thankful for the advances in my life time alone. Even though every cancer can react differently I'm sure what you do is having a positive impact. <br />I hope you feel proud of the meaningful work you are doing - I am proud of you and thankful too.<br /><br />Also this outfit is so cute! <br /><br />Emma Xx<br /><br />www.emmaslookingglass.comemmacharlottesometimeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10251183621929814103noreply@blogger.com
