FIGHT AGAINST BREAST CANCER

Breast cancer on the rise

There are many sicknesses which name quickly strike fear in people when mentioned. Apart from Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), Cancer has continuously put many people into mystery and fear. 

There are many cancer diseases but breast cancer is very common. Both men and women are often diagnosed with cancer but the rate of women with cancer is much higher than men.

According to medical research, one of every eight women expected to develop breast cancer during their lifetime. That means that at any age, whether young or old, one could easily get cancer.

Further medical research reveals that cancer is hereditary, that is if it’s in the gene or DNA of your family one could easily get cancer.

Operations removing this deadly sickness from the breast are mostly successful but if the disease has spread badly, some people completely lose the entire breast. That is the sad aspect of life for any victim of cancer. Some cancer is quickly detected others are not seen until its last destruction stages.

As cancer doesn’t discriminate the need to see the doctor as soon as one sees and feels any unfamiliar symptoms with his or her health is very necessary.

Institutions must raise the awareness of breast cancer and the need to raise money to fight this disease is very necessary. Finally, survivors of breast cancer should share their experiences to encourage other victims.

Men and women, which of them are the most faithful and sincere?

A cheating man caught red-handed


I write about many interesting issues, but I have never thought of writing about gender faithfulness or unfaithfulness to each other, when one day, someone asked me, "Why do most men die and leave behind their wives?" 

I couldn`t find an answer to her question, then, without a thought, I said, "Because most men are unfaithful to their partners." I was surprised she was satisfied with my answer.

But is it very true that men fall short when it comes to dishonesty? Well, many men lie and cheat on their partners, but also women. 

Most men cheat on their wives and girlfriends for several reasons, including lack of sexual satisfaction, biological problems that the woman is not aware of, but of which the man cannot speak. But with women? I keep on asking myself, "Why do they often cheat on their men?"

Are they also looking for sexual satisfaction or money? On Monday, 28 September 2009, whilst waiting at London`s Victoria Coach Station to join my bus to Dorset, a sad story caught my attention in an entertainment newspaper called "London Lite." 

The story was about a woman who was allegedly strangled by her own husband after discovering that she was having an affair with another man.

The husband, after having enough evidence, including a secret taping of 127 hours of his wife's conversations with her lover, confronted his wife, who asked for a divorce. To me, that was a very good wife. 

She did not deny her unfaithfulness but quickly asked for a divorce of which her man should have accepted the request and given her freedom.

Instead, he did the most stupid thing a man could do. Fearing the loss of his home, two children, and fortune, the jealous husband chose to kill his wife, pretending he did not know of her death. 

The court heard of his wife`s previous adulterous adventures. Marriage always turns to a different angle of diverse problems when there isn`t any transparency, honesty, and faithfulness.

Even though I know that most men die leaving their partners, I can`t really say it is because of their unfaithfulness to their partners, since women also cheat on their husbands. But it is a fact that a greater percentage of men cheat on their wives than women.
