Carcinoma



Lets get right into this, lets talk cancer.Its scary right? Well what is it? Cancer is when the cells in your body divide abnormally, these abnormal cells lead to growths(tumors).I want to focus on is basal cell carcinoma(a type of skin cancer). It isn't lethal and is very treatable and generally harmless, however it is nasty looking disease. With that I'd like you to see this man. He lived alone on a farm and has basal cell carcinoma.

The image is very graphic so here's a link: http://www.basalcellcarcinoma.info/is-basal-cell-carcinoma-serious

This, my friends is why healthcare is important.
Whats terrible about cell carcinoma is that it doesn't care where it is, weather it's on your eyelids nose or genitals.

On another note because basal cell carcinoma is a type of skin cancer, I just wanted to show you a chart on how to detect skin cancer(makes this blog a bit more productive!):

Not necessary carcinoma but these are good things to keep in mind if your grow something funky on your skin. please don’t question getting these things checked, nothing like oh its hard to get an appointment, the doctors are so busy, what if its not important. Its you job to keep yourself healthy and its your doctors jobs to help you when you cant help yourself. So if you have health concerns that are beyond your research, see a doctor. Yes if you have a cold stay home and rest, but if your growing something that looks like a freaking sub continent of Africa on you skin, go see a doctor.


But then again the cancer cells look so very pretty to cheer you all up and end on a lighter note:
