While searching itunes, I came across some very interesting podcasts regarding cancer and the treatment advances that are being made. On this podcast, they mention the dramatic advances that have been made. Bio-therapy, the new, less toxic medicine, have resulted in increased long term survival rates. Although this podcast is from January of 2006, this still seems very promising and more and more advancements are still being made today. This podcast also deals with the emotional stress that comes with being diagnosed with cancer. I could only imagine they amount of sadness one would feel if they find out that they have cancer, a disease that kills many through out the world. In this podcast, specialist analyze how although it is very stressful on the emotions, through support groups, blogs, and information websites, these anxious, scared, or even angry feelings, can turn into hope and acceptance.
