standup2cancer

I was watching Larry King Live last night and they were talking about standup2cancer.org. It's a new donation program that is raising awareness and research for cancer. They are having a program on TV sometime this month. I was amazed at the statistics they talked about. 1 in every 2 men will have some sort of cancer in there lifetime. 1 in 3 women. Since cure is still so hard, the biggest thing you can do is prevention. That means, no smoking, moderate alcohol consumption, a healthy diet, low in read meat and processed foods and lots of fresh organic veggies and fruits. Excercise and low stress. Regular check-ups. Make sure all your daughters and sons are vaccinated with Gardisil. Earl's cancer was caused by a combination of the HPV virus and smoking. I know I'm preaching, but trust me, you do not want to go through this hell if you can prevent it. Do what you can to standup2cancer. Michael Douglas has the same type of cancer as Earl and he is HPV positive and was a heavy smoker and drinker. His journey is just beginning and it will be a long road. Do what you can for yourself and your family to stay healthy. Love you all. Donna
