“Well, at least it’s not cancer.” I bet that’s what many of you think when you are diagnosed with heart disease, diabetes, or even COVID. A tremendous fear still exists around a cancer diagnosis. Some of this is justified because despite the fact a war on cancer was launched over half a century, cancer remains a leading cause of death. While it is true that we have lots of new and improved drugs that target cancer cells, treatment is no walk in the park. It might cure you, but it also might decrease your quality of life without helping you live longer.
