  • im 13 so dont complain but if you have a lump of cancer can't you just take a miinii needle with a nano UV-light on the end (led with diamond instead of dye)

  • You missed the part where after the cell has divided and continue to do so it hasn't been properly coded (ie told what kind of cell to be)

  • Had my tubes tied in 2007 through laparoscopy. Thinking nothing else major could happen. 2008 till now cysts balding,pain daily I was diagnosed with PCOS and Adenomyosis a few weeks ago. I am also high risk for cancer because my mom died at 51 from breast cancer and brain cancer she had 10 brain tumors, and bone cancer as well. I just got my BRCA gene Test done just waiting for the results .I have to see an endocrinologist in a few days I am now 29 years old.

  • There is no direct explanation as to why people get cancer. There are so many factors, like genetic history for starters. I can't even begin to list any thing else as it would fill out the entire box.

    There are also people who've smoked for all of their lives without any side effects. Some are just stronger than others.

  • He did not answer the question. He just said what it is.
