Louis Richie. Throughout her career Dr. Richie saw many patients with cancer and, just as I, firmly believes that scientific research towards the cure for cancer is immensely important. Dr. Richie informed me that cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide and for most cancers there are no cures. There are some techniques doctors use to stop the cancer to continue to grow, according to Dr. Richie, such as radiation therapy, chemotherapy, surgery, and hormone blocking also known as hormonal therapy.

Currently many other countries are trying to also cure cancer and, just as us, are far from a definite cure, but there is one thing that we all share and that is the advanced technology. Finding a cure for cancer uses an immense amount of technology and scientific research towards cancer includes finding new technology that will aid in this journey towards the end of cancer. Until scientists have found a definite cure though Dr. Richie has given me some helpful tips to prevent this disease from invading our bodies. Doing thigs such as watching our weight, watch what we eat, stop doing dangerous activities such as smoking and drinking alcohol, and protecting ourselves when we go

He claims, “‘curing cancer’—in the larger global sense of simply wiping it out—would require personalized care, designed around every single patient with any single type of the disease.” He explains the massive amount of research and funding it would take to obtain these high objectives and the difficulty of completing the task at hand.

When you hear the word death or you hear that someone has died today in the news or on the television I know a lot of people think “Man, I feel sorry for the family that they have to go through that.” or they thank god that it was not them or their family members.” Sadly though people try to push away death and push away the fact that everyone dies at one point in time. This is even truer when they witness their own family member in the hospital with a critical condition that the doctors cannot fix even with modern medicines on the doctor’s side.
