Too bad that they've not found the exact cause of Ovarian cancer.

Rvel Zahid:
actually there are many factors involved in having a probability of getting cancer. sometimes you have excellent diet still you end up having cancer. it maybe due to genetic factor that the alleles were present in your body and they have to mutate in a wrong way at some stage of life. so genetic screening and a yearly check up of your body is very essential. for breast cancer you must have mammogram on a yearly basis after 40 years of age... i know because one of my dear is going through cancer treatment. i have observed that generally people are very careless that they can never catch a non-infectious disease like cancer. but it is a silent disease. it doesn't shows its symptoms early. and you may ignore it but the tumour might be building up inside. so keep check over your health condition.

i really hope that in some years cancer treatment gets easier, cheaper and less painful. the chemotherapy or the drugs used to kill the cancer cells can cause some troublesome. its sometimes hard for pataints. its a long treatment if not diagnosed early. breast cancer is 100 % curable form of cancer. most common in Asia. and in Pakistan every 9th lady unfortunately at some stage of her life will develop it. so better have a regular check up in old age. if people are not educated around us and there is a lack of awareness then its our duty to convince them and take them for check ups, i have observed that older people are shy and hesitate to visit hospital. they just don't like the feeling of being a pataint. who likes it? but we gotta make it as a part of our life. and yes very important thing, cancer is not dangerous as it sounds. like people think life is over if you are diagnosed with cancer. its totally wrong. it is a normal disease nowadays. there are 200 forms of cancer which exists. cancer is not lethal at all if you diagnose it at right time. obviously you won't delay it until it gets to stage 5 where you experience intense changes in body. so mostly its diagnosed in stage 2 or 3 which is curable. .....
