7- World day to fight cancer

¿What is it? 

 

    World Cancer Day, a special day that is celebrated on February 4, and is promoted by the WHO (World Health Organization), the IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer) and the IUAC ( International Union Against Cancer), this special day aims to raise awareness and educate society to progress in the prevention and control of cancer, a terrible disease that develops abnormal cells, which divide, grow and spread uncontrollably in any part of the body, which has taken with me thousands of lives of sick people that, since there is no cure, vaccine or medicine that efficiently heals the patient, many consider it the worst curse that a person can receive, but the worst of this disease is that it is very common because it is only necessary to activate the cancer cells that we all have in our bodies with contracting it, and the most accessible and popular healing means that exists You, chemotherapy, is expensive and sometimes causes more damage than the disease, destroying abnormal cancer cells as well as healthy and normal cells of the human body, leaving the patient in a very weakened state, their hair falls out, they lose a lot of weight, With the possibility of developing tumors and depending on where the cancer develops, it could generate various quite destructive symptoms such as lung cancer that makes it difficult to breathe causes chronic pneumonia, etc. blood cancer, leukemia, attacks the bloodstream through the bone marrow, which produces blood, blood that runs throughout the body, and passes through all vital organs, contaminating them. One of the worst diseases that exist that the most unfortunate thing is that we have been in constant fight against it, looking for a cure or a miraculous healing medicine that eliminates the cancer and not the affected one. This movement has taken a lot of strength, from the constant donations and collaborations of the community, which have had experiences with cancer and have done their bit to help with the next development of a vaccine or cure, since this disease has caused much terror in people, with figures ranging from 14 million cases a year, of which only 4.4 million are saved, the silence of this disease that generates symptoms in more developed stages means that it can be wasted until reaching a end point where the only thing left to say is the years, months or days of life that the patient has left.

     That is why every February 4 to honor the struggle of those who managed to defeat the disease, to ensure those that cancer took away, to educate, raise awareness and review the population as a way to contain the disease, but Its main objective, to promote the development of a cure, to stop once and for all this disease that has taken millions of lives regardless of color, age, sex, etc.

     It had a start mainly in the United States in 2008 with the slogan "Give children and young people a smoke-free environment" which at first glance might seem completely distant from cancer , but in the beginning they did not focus this day as a fight against cancer, if not something more directed to the future of the environment, a year later in 2009 the slogan changed to "We love to move and eat healthy" as an inspiration to exercise and eat healthy for a healthy life and focused on young people, but it was with the boom in 2010 of cancer when they changed to "Cancer can also be prevented" which caused a stir and left this February 4 marked as, the day of the fight against cancer as, health and youth, and now more than 60 countries celebrate it throughout Latin America, North America, Europe, etc.
