In this article we learn about all of the positive things that we have both learned and done to help prevent cancer. We also learn that cancer is becoming more common due to the way we live our everyday lives. Cancer is a very serious disease and doctors are doing all they can to help save the lives that have been impacted by it. 

This article relates to a book that I am reading called Unwholly. In this book scientists have come up with a way to cure any and all diseases that you may contract by simply replacing the part that is infected. This process is called unwinding. This also relates to my everyday life because I have relatives that have died from cancer and I think that it's wonderful that cancer is becoming easier to cure. 

I am thrilled that we are finding more cures for cancer. However, I think that it's sad that cancer is becoming more common due to things that we do in our everyday lives. I feel that if you have the power to keep yourself from having cancer by not smoking or drinking or just living a healthier life then you should give up those bad habits because it will be worth it in the long run.
