Most people have heard of the exclusive and instantly activated cancer card, but no one ever mentions an expiration date. I assume that most people stop using their card at some point, but I'm just as certain that there are people out there who will use it indefinitely. After five years, when we get the “all clear” from our doctors, we are released from the chokehold that cancer can have on us. We become survivors, leave cancer behind, and move on with our lives. It's reasonable to think that…

Once we had obtained responses from ten random individuals under that first condition, we changed our…

there has not been any clear relationship between cancer and hair dye. The American Cancer Society states that for people who decide to dye their hair, there are some precautions that they need to take before dying hair. They recommend always wearing gloves when applying hair dye to hair so that less of the dye actually touches skin. Some people may be allergic to certain types of dyes, and they may not even know it. The Society urges people to do a patch test before each time dying hair. This…

Ovarian cancer is thought to be the highest cause of death in females; more than 50% of 21,650 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer and die annually due to this disease [2]. Fiji has a 14.9 % rate of ovarian cancer, age standardised rate per 100, 0000[13].
