uestion: What 3 words strike the most fear in people? It's these words: "You've got cancer."
Once a doctor declares that you have cancer, the world suddenly seems like it's stopped turning. Your blood runs cold, you become weak in the knees, and your heart pounds loudly in your chest.
Then, comes the denial. "This can't be true! This only happens to other people—not me!"
And thereafter, you begin to remember all the people who have died of cancer. And you say to yourself, "I don't want to die."
This chilling scenario is played over and over again in doctors' offices all over the world. Every 3 minutes, someone new is diagnosed with cancer. Almost 21.4 million people will be diagnosed with cancer every year by the year 2030, according to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).
Have you been told those 3 dreaded words? Or if not you, has someone you know been told they have cancer?
