Brain Tumors
Every year over twenty thousand people in the united states alone develop a brain tumor. With a survival rate of only 5.1 percent many doctors and scientists are trying very hard to help treat brain tumors. With no no reason behind why they form, brain tumors continue to be a very big threat in today’s society.

their entire life to care for someone with cancer. I think that with this knowledge in mind i can better understand the severity of cancers and take a little peak into what people with cancer have to go through. Its sad to think that many people who contract brain cancer will die and if they do manage to survive it they will live with the repercussions of the disease for the rest of their life. So in the end i think that this information made me, in a small way, i bit of a better
