Modern medicine and advanced technology have made tremendous strides.
Cancer is no longer an automatic death sentence.
It is a variety of illnesses that, in many cases, can be cured or treated so that the person with cancer can lead a relatively normal, productive life. Because cancer still can be a killer and, even if it's not, the road to recovery from cancer can be difficult. Any cancer patient will tell you that an important part of recovery is your mental outlook. Fear is a natural, expected reaction. Don't be ashamed of your fears, but don't be paralyzed by them either.
