WORLD CANCER DAY: I AM AND I WILL; EXCERPTS FROM THE ASSP SEMINAR ON CANCER

I AM AND I WILL: EXCERPTS FROM THE ASSP SEMINAR ON CANCER

In case you missed the program, the American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP) held a sensitization seminar to mark the “World Cancer Day” on the 4th of February. A lot of dignitaries were in attendance: The school administrative staff, lecturers, clinic staff, guests, students and a whole host of others. You MUST read this report so that you can save your life and those of others. Let’s skip the excitement and move on to summarize the lecture presented by Doctor Ogbonna.
What are Cancers? Types.  Who is at Risk?
Cancers are abnormal growth of body cells, to an extent that it becomes uncontrollable. It is one of the worst sicknesses there could be. Cancer has a way of spreading and inflicting pain – when the cell outgrows others, it presses on other neighboring cells, causing them stress and pain. It invades them and contaminates them. It continues to spread until…
One shocking fact is that there is no facility in Nigeria that can handle this condition.
Every part of the body can suffer from cancer – yes, every single part of your body. So there are various kinds of cancers; cancer of the brain (brain tumors), buccal cancer (of the mouth), skin cancers, breast cancers, liver cancers, colon cancer, cervical cancer, prostate cancers… the list is endless.
According to the degree of danger they pose, there are two types of cancers:
*MALIGN CANCERS which are less dangerous
* MALIGNANT CANCERS which are very dangerous
Every living being (fetus included) is faced with a risk of having at least one form of cancer. It is not a gender specific thing. Certain factors, however can make a  person predisposed to it.
Things to do to Lower your Cancer Risk Level
Eat healthy: Lots of whole grain foods, veggies and fruits
Weight Control: Don’t be too fat or too thin
Lessen your exposure to carcinogens (things that intoxicate you)
Do not smoke. Whether primary or secondary smoking.
Minimize your exposure to sunlight. Especially for albinos.
Always hydrate your body: Take sufficient water. Please do not take excess!
Risky sexual behaviors and unprotected sex should be stopped.
Early detection and treatment is key, therefore screen yourself regularly.
The aim here is to inform you. Please do well to educate others too. Together, we can fight this MONSTER!
In another news, the School management, in conjunction with the Clinic, have promised to organize free screening tests for Staff and students before the year runs out. The S.U.G and the Nigerian students should be on the watch!

I AM READY AND I WILL FIGHT CANCER. ARE YOU?
