Cancer Rates in the U.S. Improve

December 8, 2009

Cancer rates are on the decline in the US. Whew! Good news but for 15-40-year-olds - cancer survival rates are barely improving! Please...Check Yourself...see your health care provider and check back in if you notice any change in your normal health that lasts more than a week. Changes can include a change in mole or new skin lesion, any abnormal discharge, pain or swelling in one leg, shoulder, etc but not the other, a bump or buldge anywhere, swollen lymph nodes or abnormally fatigue. If this applies to you - call your doctor!
