Unseen threats can be terrifying with perhaps the worst being cancer. No one ever wishes to know that one of the many forms this disease takes could develop within themselves or their loved ones. However, even if this disease rears one of its ugly heads, it does not necessarily mean that death is the ultimate conclusion.

The time for understanding has come, and author Jackie Young has stepped forward to help educate the masses through her book, What is Cancer? With over thirty years working in the medical field as well as having multiple family members who have fought against this disease themselves, Young has acquired valuable knowledge to help provide clear, useful, and up to date information regarding cancer.

While there are easily over one hundred different types of cancer across the globe, the ones focused on within these pages account for nearly all cases, including:

-Bladder

-Bone

-Brain

-Breast

-Cervical

-Colon and Rectum

-Esophagus

-Gallbladder and Bile Duct

-Kidney

-Larynx

-Liver

-Oral

-Pancreas

-Stomach

-Testis

Accompanying each of the listed cancers include additional information to help bring awareness to warning signs and symptoms as well as necessary steps individuals can take to control risk factors, how to ask doctors for diagnostic treatments or procedures, and what can be expected during recovery after treatments.

Cancer can be a sensitive and terrifying subject to discuss, but it is one that all should be aware of for it can come about at any moment. Rather than being afraid, be wise. It is important to remember that knowledge does not change anything until one takes action on it. By learning more about the various types of cancers, all will be better equipped to ask more questions and demand more answers to reach more hopeful recovery options.
