Cancer

[Lois]

So, last year we lost one of our class mates from school.
Rosie was diagnosed with Cancer of the Liver when she was just sixteen. Instead of moping however she chose to make a difference. Rosie set up her own Charity 'The Knock on Effect' and her own blog. She raised money for cancer charaties through an art auction, zumbathons and through her online shop.

Unfortunatley, in September 2011 Rosie died of Cancer she was only nineteen years old. In her last blogs she wrote about how she would miss seeing her brother graduate or her sisters wedding. Over 400 people went to Rosie's funeral...it just shows what an impact one girl can have on a community and whilst many of her friends unfortunatley missed it whilst at uni, they were still there in spirit.

In January 2012 Rosie's parents decided to carry on Rosies fundraising efforts and set out to raise £20,000 in her memory. All of which will be donated to Rosies favourite charaties, most of which help teenagers and children suffering from cancer.

I hope you can have a look at her website and blog, she was truly an inspiration to me and I wanted to share this with all of you :)

I have had both family and friends pass away from cancer. It is not a forgiving ordeal.I'll have to check that out as well.

Hi all! What types of anti-cancer drugs are there and how do they work? And what is the difference between the treatments and how do they help fight cancer?

Hi all! There are several types of cancer drugs, including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and hormone therapy. The difference between these treatments lies in their mechanisms of action and the types of cancer they are effective against. Chemotherapy is often used in combination with other treatments and can be effective against many types of cancer, while immunotherapy and targeted therapies are more specific and may only work against certain types of cancer. Hormone therapy is mainly used to treat hormone-sensitive cancers such as breast or prostate cancer. Go to fenbenlab.com (https://fenbenlab.com/) to learn more about this disease and its treatment.
