No one as a child dreams of getting cancer in their lifetime; they think about what they want to be when they grow up, fighting demons and super villains, having tea parties with Fred the bear, and Friday-pizza nights. However, reality is that cancer rates in the United States are growing every year. Current statistics show that 1 in every 2 people will have an invasive cancer within their lifetime (British Journal of Cancer, et al). Should you ignore it or act on it is up to you.
