Cancer is not a topic that people like to talk about. But numbers are clearly increasing, especially in light of recategorization of cancer types as well as newly discovered cancer types. Even though it’s a scary disease, it is not something to avoid and ignore. We all know that the earlier cancer is detected, the better chance you have for survival. But what about prevention?
Prevention and early detection are not the same thing, and there is actually quite a lot that you can do in your everyday life to prevent (or fight) cancer. In today’s episode, we’re talking about how to take action in strengthening your immune system, and why you can’t let fear keep you from fighting.
