IF YOU NOTICE ANY OF THESE SIGNS, THEN YOU HAVE CANCER

The deadly disease has continued to take lives because many people do not know important facts and signs indicating that they have cancer.

Millions of people are living with Cancer because if detected early, the survival rate can be very high.

Cancer is one of the biggest killers in the world and over 2.5 million people are currently living with some form of the disease.

But as new treatments are developed and campaigns raise awareness of symptoms, the deaths caused by cancer have greatly reduced.

According to BBC News, there has been a 10 per cent decrease in death rates in the past decade alone.

And while cancers can be caused by genetics and environmental factors that are out of our control, 30 per cent of cancers worldwide could be prevented by leading a healthy lifestyle and being immunized against viruses such as HPV and HBV, according to the World Health Organisation.

Below are the signs and symptoms of the most common types of cancer:

1) Lung cancer

One of the most serious forms of the disease, around 44,500 people are diagnosed with lung cancer each year. The chance of survival is 5 per cent, and around 35,000 people will die of the disease each year. However, 89 per cent of cases are preventable.

There are two forms of primary lung cancer: the term used to describe the disease when it has not spread to other parts of the body.

More than 80 per cent of cases are non-small-cell lung cancer, which fall into the categories of squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma or large-cell carcinoma. Each of these forms attack different areas of the lung.

Small-cell lung, or oat-cell, cancer is rarer, but is more aggressive than non-small-cell. The vast majority of patients with oat-cell cancer are smokers, according to Cancer Research UK.

Symptoms:

Feeling breathless and having a persistent cough, as well as an aching or feeling pain when breathing or coughing are all symptoms of lung cancer. Coughing up blood or rust-coloured spit or phlegm, as well as repeatedly having infections such as bronchitis and pneumonia are signs, too.

Sudden and unexplained tiredness and weight loss can also be caused by the disease.

2) Bowel:

Also known as colon or rectal cancer, bowel cancer affects around one in 20 people in the UK, with around 41,000 people diagnosed with it each year. Over 16,000 of those patients will die of the disease. It has a survival rate of 57 per cent, and can be prevented in 54 per cent of cases.

It is most common in the over 60s; those with a diet low in fibre and high in red and processed meat; the overweight; and those who lead a sedentary lifestyle. Drinking and smoking can also heighten the risk, as well as a family history of the condition.

Symptoms:

Bowel cancer can be easily mistaken for other illnesses because the signs are common in many conditions.

Blood in your stools and pain in the abdomen can be caused by bowel cancer. Changes in bowel movements – such as constipation or diarrhea – that last for more than a few days are also linked to the disease.

But these are also common in people with haemorrhoids or those whose eating habits have changed, according to the NHS. In the latest stages, weight loss, pain when eating and bloating become evident.

3) Breast

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer but lung cancer is the deadliest according to Cancer Research UK. The majority of people who get breast cancer are women over the age of 65, however younger women and men can also develop the disease.

Each year, over 53,000 new cases of breast cancer are diagnosed, but it has a survival rate of 78 per cent, meaning it causes over 11,000 deaths annually. It can be prevented in 27 per cent of cases.

Symptoms:

Many people know that breast cancer is signaled by unusual lumps and thickening in the breast, but campaigners have urged that are other warnings signs that are unknown.

The charity Breast Cancer Care is among organisations to urge the public to be wary of all the symptoms of the disease. A change in the size, shape or skin on the breast; swelling in the armpit; and constant pain in the area can signal breast cancer. However, the nipples can also be affected. Redness, a rash or discharge coming from the nipple are all signs of the disease.

While lumps in the breast generally aren’t cancerous, the NHS urges people to visit their GP if they notice anything unusual.

4) Prostate

This form of cancer only affects men, because it is found in the satsuma-sized prostate gland located between the penis and the bladder. Over 47,000 new cases of prostate cancer are diagnosed each year. But it has a high survival rate of 84 per cent. Almost 11,000 people die of the disease each year. There are no clear ways of preventing prostate cancer, according to Cancer Research UK.

Symptoms:

In the early stages, prostate cancer does not cause any symptoms for many years, meaning it is usually caught when it is developed.

The condition is usually picked up when the gland becomes so large that it affects the function of the urethra and makes passing urine more frequent, slower and weaker.

Blood in the urine and erectile dysfunction are also signs. If the cancer pushes against the spinal cord, weakness or numbness in the legs or feet and the loss of bladder and bowel control can also occur.

However, difficulty passing urine can also be a sign of a common condition called benign prostatic hyperplasia, where the inner part of the prostate continues to grow as men get older

Benefit Of DETOXIFICATION...

Detoxification is a key body function involving the elimination of metabolic waste and other toxins via the eliminatory organs- the skin and kidneys and especially the liver. As much of about 80% of all chemical processes that go on in your body involve detoxification activities and modern day living has led to an increased exposure to toxins.

As well as the toxic by-products of our own metabolism, we are faced with toxins in what we eat and drink, as well as from alcohol, cigarettes, medical drugs, cosmetics, household cleaning products, not to mention pollution and environmental poisons.

When our parents were growing up, they were not exposed to a lot of toxic threats that invade us today. Hence it was much more easier for them to live longer without some of the life threatening diseases that combats us today.

Accumulation of some of these toxic materials in our body have hitherto affected several natural body functions especially those that have a thing or two to do with our ability to reproduce.

A baby is 50% product of its father and mother. Hence optimizing the quality of eggs and sperm before conception is of paramount importance.

A lot of some of our lifestyles today contribute in no small measure to the accumulation of some of these toxic materials in our body thereby leading to varying degrees of sperm disorders in men and implantation failures in women.

Therefore, both partners should detox, follow a fertility diet, take preconception supplement, and avoid activities leading to the generation of several reproductive toxins within the body.

Getting pregnant and growing a new human being with your own reserves, requires a surplus of nutrients and energy. Therefore beyond just detoxifying, it is imperative for the woman to also ensure the intake of a lot of essential nutrients necessary for the growth and development of the baby.

Another major factor affecting both male and female when it comes to fertility issue is Overweight.

Overweight and obese men have worse sperm quality than men of healthy weight. Being overweight or obese can also cause hormonal changes that reduce fertility and make men less interested in sex. Men who are very overweight are also more likely to have problems getting an erection. Together, these factors reduce the chances of men who are overweight or obese fathering a child.

If you’re trying to get pregnant, or intend to start trying, know that being overweight – especially significantly so – can affect your chances of conceiving and having a healthy baby as a woman. Obesity can affect fertility by causing hormonal imbalances and problems with ovulation, particularly for obese women having their first baby. 

- Women who are overweight or obese have less chance of getting pregnant overall. They are also more likely than women of healthy weight to take more than a year to get pregnant.

- The risk of pre-eclampsia doubles in overweight women and triples in obese women. Overweight women have twice the risk of gestational diabetes and obese women eight times the risk, compared with women of healthy weight.

- A woman who is obese is more than twice as likely to have a miscarriage as a woman of healthy weight. There is twice the risk that her baby will not survive.

- Infants born to obese women are more likely to be large for their age, need neonatal intensive care or have a congenital abnormality.

Lagos collapsed building death toll reaches 30; contractor arrested

The police in Lagos have arrested the contractor handling the collapsed five-storey building in Lekki area of the state.

The police spokesperson in Lagos, Oladapo Badmus, disclosed this to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in Lagos.

Ms. Badmus gave his name as Odofin Taiwo, adding that he was currently under investigation.

Meanwhile, the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) told NAN that the death toll at the collapsed building had risen to 30 as at 4 pm on Wednesday

The general manager of LASEMA, Michael Akindele, told NAN that as at 12.40 p.m. on the same day, 13 other people had been rescued.

Correspondents of NAN who were at the scene reported that the 28th

​body was brought out from the rubble at about 2pm, while the 30th dead person was brought before 4pm.

“As we speak, we have been able to rescue 13 people alive, and unfortunately, 30 others have been brought out dead.

“The operation is still ongoing, and I want to commend all the security agencies that have ensured the protection of the rescue operatives.

NAN also reports that the Standard Organisation (SON) led by its director of Inspectorate and Complaint, Bede Obayi, inspected the collapsed building and others under construction in the area.

Mr. Obayi ordered for the collection of the different building materials used for the collapsed building, including iron rods, blocks, sand, granites and sea water for laboratory analysis.

“The first thing in a house is the block, from the ones we have examined here, it has failed the test.

“The construction of this building is not up to 50 meters from the sea, showing that this land was reclaimed from the sea.

“There are conditions for reclaiming a land from the sea and the kind of building materials to be used in such lands.

“We have to examine all the materials used for this building and see if they meet the condition,’’ he told NAN.

“You need to also see that the right professionals handled the building project. If you use the best materials without the right professionals handling the materials, things will still go wrong.

“You must be a registered professional engineer for you to handle this type of project.

“If you want to build, you must look for a professional. We are going to investigate all the structures and materials in this environment,” Mr. Obayi said.

Beautiful - A Poem, Especially, For You...

Beauty

Sometimes it takes a fine boy’s stare, other times an open admiration from a girl,
A 5k make-up item, a revealing dress in dollars, heels in pounds, hair from another continent, likes in zeros, whistles and party-invites to make you feel beautiful.
But beyond that, when the lights go dim, when the show is over, when everyone leaves and you are all that remains, Without the weave, without the body enhancers and the makeup, then you crack up over the genuine moments you have made;

The way you walk, the way you talk, the way you just cannot pronounce a word,
The way you smile, your silly face in a selfie.
Your crazy food combinations, your flaws and cake flops.

Your stretch marks that look like your favorite animal,
Your birthmark so unique you wish you could show it to the world.
The sit up and squat routines you indulged in, the break-up speech you had with chocolate and ice cream still in the freezer.
The mood swings, the cramps,
Delayed conception,
Labor and birth.

Your love for colors and screens,
For chords and strings, for stitches and threads,
For strokes and swirls, for words and paper.
For test-tubes and microscopes, for cells and tissues,
For cables and ports.

The stunt you pulled to meet the deadline at work,
The hours of hard work to make People’s life easier,
Your refusal to manipulate figures and compromise quality,
The overtime without pay, the sleepless nights.

The fight you started, the ones you ended.
The tears you couldn’t explain, the ones which wouldn’t drop.
The relationships you saved the ones that sailed.

The victory against drugs and alcohol,
The win over cancer and the unidentified illnesses.
You maintained your sanity, you fought depression,
You rose above stereotypes and prejudice.

You held on to faith when there was no reason to,
You raised hands in worship,
You interceded for folks far and near,
You bent your knees in prayers.

Whoever you are, whatever you do, the extra’s don’t define you.
Revel in your flaws and strength.
You are beautiful all by yourself, do not treat yourself any less.
Your main source of beauty comes from within;
knowing that you are strong and you are loved.
Beauty, truly is in the eye of the “holder”!

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!!

D’banj, Oprah Winfrey, Yemi Alade, Others Join ONE Campaign’s Call For Global Gender Equality

In commemoration of this year’s International Women’s Day, influential figures across the world has urged world leaders to act on promises to end extreme poverty faster by investing in girls and women.

Top among the influential figures who have added their voices to the campaign are Oprah Winfrey, Muhammad Ali, D’Banj, Melinda Gates, Femi Kuti, Charlize Theron, Yemi Alade, Bono, and many others. Other numerous influential figures including Selmor Mtukudzi, Vanessa Mdee, Victoria Kimani, Amy Poehler, Danai Gurira, Angelique Kidjo, Shonda Rhimes, Jessie J, Colin Farrell and Robert Redford have also signed ONE’s open letter which shows the incredible strength of feeling across the global community for leaders to step up for girls and women everywhere.

New analysis in ONE’s 2016 Poverty is Sexist report ranks the toughest countries in which to be born a girl, with Republic of Niger topping the list, followed by Somalia and Mali. Compared to their brothers, girls here have less education, lack access to opportunities, such as opening a bank account, and are less likely to get paid work when they grow up. Sixteen of the 20 countries that top the list are found in Africa, making it imperative for African leaders to fast-track efforts in improving women’s development.

Pop star, D’banj said it will be very pleasant if more girls had the chance to grow up to be empowered women, where all women went to school and were not forced into early marriages. “Extreme poverty is choking the potential of generations of young women in the developing world. Poverty is sexist. It hits girls and women harder than it does boys and men, creating a real urgency that world leaders must address. Women need to be better empowered, especially in areas such as agriculture and healthcare, so that they can contribute their best to the development of Nigeria. Women need better access to land, inputs, better maternal healthcare, among others.  That’s why I’m raising my voice and asking others to do the same.”

Grammy Award-Winning Artist and Activist, Angelique Kidjo said “The future of Africa is in the hands of its young women. If they are educated, they will educate their communities. If they are healthy, they will ensure others grow up healthy. If they are empowered, they will change the world. We can break the cycle of poverty, but we have to invest in girls and women to do it.”

Popular singer, Yemi Alade also added her voice and gave reasons why she is supporting the campaign. “We live in a world where women and girls are most disadvantaged by extreme poverty – on a continent where women and girls are particularly marginalised – socially, economically and legally. Every day, in every corner of the world, they are stopped from reaching their full potential. That is why I was part of ONE’s Strong Girl campaign and that is why I continue to join other leaders to raise my voice today.”

Nachilala Nkombo, Acting Executive Director of ONE Africa said “ONE’s Poverty is Sexist report shows that the 20 toughest places to be born a girl are also among the poorest places on the planet. Until leaders tackle the injustices that pervade the lives of girls and women and invest in fighting poverty, half of the world’s resources will remain untapped and social and economic progress for everyone will be constrained”.

The ONE Campaign’s Poverty is Sexist report calls for policies that ensure legal equality for all and increased access to safe and reliable energy, which will particularly benefit girls and women. There must also be concerted efforts to connect everyone to the internet and further ensure that governments, businesses and civil society open up their own data so the public are able to see and account for progress towards achieving the Global Goals indicators.
