Understanding Cancer Survival Rates

Well, yknow, It’s a weird one, but I make stuff about the things I’m thinking about and this is definitely one of them! It’s such a wild thing that we talk about cancer in a unified way when it is many hundreds of different diseases. Cancer isn’t a disease, it’s a way for disease to happen. And even with something as treatable as Hodgkin’s there are lots of ways it can be more or less dangerous, and sometimes it gets really stubborn! So far that isn’t happening with me, but I am very aware that it could. I’m not a population, I’m just one person, so I get to be on one side or the other! It’s good to actually understand what it all means.
