Cancer and A-1 Home Care

For those that do not know, Cancer is a severe illness in which cells in the body begin to grow abnormally. Cancer is a devastating illness that can sometimes lead to tumors known as benign or malignant. Benign tumors are limited in growth and remain in one area of the body. Malignant tumors can be more dangerous and move throughout the body. Regardless of the situation, if cancer remains untreated, it can cause severe illnesses and sometimes death.

Tips on living with cervical cancer/ A-1 Home Care Cancer Care

Did you know that January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month?

Cervical cancer (cancer of the cervix) is the second most common cancer in women. The cervix is the narrow part of the uterus through which babies are born. Cervical cells can go through many types of changes, most of which are harmless and not related to cancer. These changes can be caused by a number of factors, including HPV infection.

Lately, medications like Gardisil have boomed in popularity for providing vaccines against certain cancer causing strains of HPV. It is important to know, however, that HPVs (human papillomaviruses) are a group of more than 100 related viruses, many of which can be passed from one person to another through sexual contact. About 15 types of the 100 types of HPV can cause cervical cancer. Elders should be aware of this, as reduced immune systems increase susceptibility to all illness.
