A cure that will change the world.

The world is filled with numerous illnesses and diseases, there are many times I usually wish we didn't have any form of illness but that's impossible. I got to understand by myself a few years ago that these illnesses create balance in the human population, if people don't fall ill or get diseases, the world would definitely be overpopulated.

It is already but it could have been worse and regardless of what we think about why there are illnesses and diseases, the pain and emptiness it causes people will never be justified. It isn't just about the victims passing away only, the space it creates in the world of the people they left behind is something many don't recover from even after a long time.

When I was diagnosed with High Blood Pressure in 2019, I became scared because I was 25. I felt like isn't this thing meant to be for elderly people so why would a little boy like me be struggling with it and make things worse, I had a worn-out leg muscle that made walking very difficult for me.

For the first time, I knew what having an illness meant. You have to start living by rules, there are things you must do and others you mustn't do. In my case, I had lots of hope of getting better which I am now. My blood pressure is in check and my leg is fine as long as I don't overstress it but what do you say about illnesses or diseases that leave people with zero hope or chances of surviving?

I do get my eyes really wet whenever I see cancer related movies, people who have seen Clouds, The fault in our stars, A walk to remember, and many others can tell how they felt with the movie.

The impact of cancer on the world is terrible, it has taken away from the world beautiful people. Cancer is a disease that leaves its victims a very slim chance of surviving since it has no cure to this moment. This particular disease has no age limit, anyone can be diagnosed with it. There are numerous types of cancers and there is none of it that can be taken lightly because the longer it is not attended to, the deadlier it becomes.

I have read stories about people recovering, and getting cured but there is still no specified treatment for it even with the advanced technology the world is running on. Treatments have been able to buy people more time but they cost a fortune that many people can't afford.

It is so sad to see people exhaust everything they have on chemotherapy and still lost the battle to that deadly disease called cancer.

Bradley Lowery, Nightbirde, Chadwick Boseman (Black Panther), Steve Job, Bob Marley, and many other people have lost their lives despite fighting so hard against this disease. These are people we know, how many more people are dead? How many more will still fall in the battle against this deadly disease?

I have friends in the virtual space who have lost their families to this battle and I know how difficult it was for them to carry on without those people in life. Blood pressure can be contained, likewise HIV. Even the notorious Covid-19 can be treated but it is an entirely different story with Cancer. Its name alone strikes fear in the heart of anyone diagnosed with the disease and I think it is one of the things that hasten the death of people with it. I have written several articles in the past about cancer, how we can make cancer patients feel safe, and make them understand it is not the end of the world but it is nothing compared to curing them.

If I am being able to make a cure for a disease, it will definitely be Cancer. A cure for this disease will definitely restore hope to millions of cancer patients who have prepared their minds and home for death across the world, whoever will be diagnosed with this disease in the future will be certain that is definitely not the end of the world for them.

I can imagine a world where Cancer will be treated like a headache and I hope the cure is made soon.
