Cancer Before the Cure – What Support is Available Published: 24.10.2008 | Author: dcollins | Category: Health And Fitness
In 2007 nike shox oz d herre tilbud , 7.6 million people died from cancer worldwide. In 2008, there is no sign of this number dropping. Currently, cancer is the cause of about 13% of all deaths, and it is unlikely that many people don’t know at least one person that has been affected by cancer in some way.

While cancer is something that we don’t want to live with, we must. Though cancer research continues to travel in leaps and bounds towards new treatments and a cure of some sort nike shox oz d herre , it would be naive to believe that this discovery will be made any time soon. That moment, when it comes, will be an incredible moment in human history that will change the lives of billions. However until that moment comes, cancer is something that must be dealt with in other ways.

Support for those who are living with cancer is widely available, but perhaps not widely known about. The shock of a diagnosis can leave people feeling lost nike shox oz d dame tilbud , and it often does not even occur to them that there is a wealth of support facilities to help both sufferers of cancer and their families and friends cope with the disease.

The first port of call is often the internet. These days, with high-speed connections and widespread access to the net, millions of people are contributing valuable information to the web every day. Informative websites are abundant, as are support forums, email lists and chat rooms. The internet can also point users in the direction of how to gain financial help nike shox oz d dame , what publications to read and how to get in touch with local support groups.

Support groups can be invaluable, though the majority of those living with cancer do not frequent them. They are frequently organised by hospitals or cancer support charities and can provide a strong network of help for those who need it. Whether members of the support groups are suffering themselves, know somebody that is, are cancer survivors or just concerned community members, the system of cancer support offered is precious. Sometimes it’s best to talk to people going through the same thing who will understand what you’re going through and learn how they learned to cope. This social interaction is an oft-neglected form of cancer support nike shox oz d danmark , despite its benefits.

There are also courses that people affected by cancer can attend in order to learn how to cope with the disease being a part of their life. These free courses offer cancer support, often by cancer survivors, and help people come to terms with the shock and the physical and psychological effects cancer can have.

Naturally we hope for a cure sometime in the near future, but until then it is important to know that support is close by for those that need it.

SKOPJE, Aug. 8 (Xinhua) -- Skopje is in the focus of international football fans as two major European teams - Real Madrid and Manchester United nike shox nz herre tilbud , meet in the Macedonian capital to play the UEFA Super Cup final on Tuesday. It is one of the biggest sports events ever to be organized in the country.

Both teams arrived in Skopje on Monday and held their first trainings at the National "Telekom Arena." One of the biggest challenges for the players will be the extreme heat wave rocking Macedonia in recent days, causing temperatures to rise over 40 degrees Celsius.

The coach of the "Red Devils", Jose Murinho, admitted that he had a special strategy to prepare his players for the Macedonian summer heat.

"I knew what's the weather like. When we returned from the US, I decided that we should train in Manchester at 4PM every day. But it kept raining every day there nike shox nz herre ," Murinho said at the pre-match press conference in Skopje. "I think that for Real it will be difficult as well, although they are more accommodated to these types of conditions."

"I don't think that the hot weather will give us any advantage. It is hot in Madrid as well, but both teams prepared in the US. It is 90 minutes of game and we can't do anything to change the weather," said the coach of the Spanish "Kings", Zinedine Zidane.

He hinted that his team's biggest star Cristiano Ronaldo is ready to play against Manchester nike shox nz dame tilbud , although he only returned to training two days ago after he was given an extended break following his Confederations Cup exertions with Portugal.

The Super Cup game will include water breaks if soaring temperatures in Macedonia continue, UEFA confirmed on Monday.

Fans from the UK and Spain, but also from all over the world, poured into Skopje to watch the game. The interest caused the prices of hotel accommodation in Skopje to increase several times for the days surrounding the match.

The fans have already started filling the cafes in Skopje, chanting and having fun prior to the game on Wednesday.

Meanwhile nike shox nz dame , Interpol issued a list of 60 "dangerous" football fans to the Macedonian authorities that are to be immediately denied if they try to enter Macedonian territory. These are fans of both teams which are known to cause problems and incidents.
