- Cancer can be cured, but the cancer industry won’t let that happen. This is a common but false notion. Because cancer mutates and includes a large number of diseases, finding a cure has proved elusive. Although genetic research is starting to unlock some secrets, there is still much to be learned about why a cell becomes cancerous and why some people do better in fighting the disease than others.
- Living a normal life while undergoing cancer treatment is impossible. Wrong. The fact is that most people will be treated for cancer on an outpatient basis in their communities. While not everyone has the strength to continue working or going to school because of the debilitating effects of some treatments, many people continue to live relatively normal lives while undergoing cancer therapies.
- A good attitude can help with cancer recovery. While there is no scientific data to support the idea that a positive attitude can overcome cancer, there is certainly evidence that it makes treatments more tolerable and life easier for friends and family of the afflicted.
