Guys, sometimes our cells don't do things correctly. this can result in things like down syndrome and cancer. today i'm going to explain cancer to you so you understand how people get it!
Cancer is a general term for a lot of different diseases and you get cancer when your cells grow uncontrollably and they become more powerful. cancer cells are usually spread through the bloodstream to other parts of the body.  This is why people go through radiation and chemo to treat cancer- the radiation kills the cancer cells, but it also kills other cells which is why people get really weak and loose their hair. a type of cancer is thyroid cancer, which is in your throat.  my grandpa had it, but thankfully it isn't a very aggressive form of cancer so he only had a few months of chemo treatment. chemo works sometimes, but other times when the cancer is really strong, chemo isn't affective. sometimes when the cancer is strong, you have to undergo surgery so the doctors can try to cut out the cancer cells. this only happens when the cancer is far along and is very strong. otherwise, most people go through chemo treatments. i hope you all understand how cancer works and understand why it is so powerful now!
cell ya later!
