Cancer Tips
Cancer is a medical condition wherein cells begin to grow out of control, anywhere in the body. The disease affects not just sufferers but loved ones and friends too. However, many cancers are completely treatable if detected at an early stage. However, the important thing is to ‘listen in’ to early signs of abnormalities in the body. One must pay heed to signs indicating that something may not right in the body.
DO NOT IGNORE THESE WARNING SIGNS:
- A swelling or sore that does not heal.
- Recent change in colour or size of mole or wart.
- Lump or hard areas in any part of the body.
- Abnormal bleeding from any normal orifice of the body.
- A persistent change in digestive and bowel habits.
- Difficulty in swallowing.
- A persistent hoarseness or unexplained cough.
- Unexplained loss of weight.
TIMELY SCREENING AND EARLY DETECTION CAN SAVE LIVES

Identify a Stroke - You could save a Life
STROKE: Remember the 3 letters... S.T.R.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During a Camp Fire, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine and just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. (They offered to call ambulance)
They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food - while she appeared a bit shaken up. She went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Her husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital – and at 6:00pm, our friend passed away.
She had suffered a stroke at the Camp Fire. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead. It only takes a minute to read this...
STROKE IDENTIFICATION:
A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.
RECOGNIZING A STROKE
Remember the "3" steps, STR.
The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke. Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster.
Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:
S * Ask the individual to SMILE.
T * = TALK. Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (e.g. "It is sunny out today").
R * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call 999 / Ambulance immediately!! And describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.
NOTE : Another 'sign' of a stroke is
· Ask the person to 'stick' out their tongue.
· If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke.
A prominent cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved.
....and it could be your own.....
