Millions of people around the world are diagnosed with cancer each and every year. One thing all cancers have in common is that they result from the transformation of normal cells into cancer cells. That doesn’t happen overnight. In fact, we’re constantly developing “pre-cancerous” cells. Normally these cells are either pinched off by immune cells or they die a normal cell death through apoptosis. However, sometimes the cells stop acting like normal cells. Instead of dividing slowly to form regular, healthy tissue, they start to divide rapidly and create abnormal tissue. That’s basically the thing that makes cancer, cancer. There are many things people can do to support themselves or their loved ones: rest, nourishment, herbs, mindfulness, hope, and community support are some of the powerful allies that individuals with cancer and their caregivers can call on, even during the hardest of times.
