Lab 11: My Cure For 

Ovarian Cancer

     If you know about ovarian cancer you know its extreme dangers. Many women die from the illness, it has little to no symptoms; or symptoms closer to your period. It is the fifth leading cause of women's death according to some of the statistics I read. I find this specific wiki challenging because how can you cure something you know nothing about. It is also hard to be imaginative about a subject when you are not a scientist or doctor yourself. 

 

     So my cure for ovarian cancer would be removing the effected ovary(ies), which is a common practice in cases like these. If the cancer were to still persist after removal of the the ovaries I would suggest chemotherapy."Chemotherapy is a drug treatment that uses chemicals to kill fast-growing cells in the body, including cancer cells. Chemotherapy drugs can be injected into a vein or taken by mouth. Sometimes the drugs are injected directly into the abdomen (intraperitoneal chemotherapy)."4 Chemotherapy sucks super bad, so medical marijuana would be needed to help ease the pain, symptoms, and gain a little hunger back. I have always been one for more natural remedies.

 

     If those don't work, it is one of the less curable cancers, I honestly have no idea what I could do to cure this and all cancer. If anyone had honest answers the world would love to know. "Cancer of the ovary is not common, but it causes more deaths than other female reproductive cancers. The sooner ovarian cancer is found and treated, the better your chance for recovery. But ovarian cancer is hard to detect early. Women with ovarian cancer may have no symptoms or just mild symptoms until the disease is in an advanced stage. Then it is hard to treat."2 Based on this quote one way to fight ovarian cancer would be working on ways to find the cancer early on. I don't know if that fully explains a cure for cancer, maybe just a way to ease you by. I do know that there are many treatments for all types of cancers, and even some cures.
