if detected at an early stage, may be easier to treat or cure.

Cancer: What is it?

Cancer is a disease where abnormal cells divide without control, and usually form a lump (called a tumour) as their numbers increase. Cancer cells can invade nearby tissues and can spread through the bloodstream and lymphatic systems to other parts of the body.

Cancer cases on the rise in Singapore

According to the Singapore Cancer Society, about 39 people are diagnosed with cancer every day, 15 people die of cancer every day, and 1 in 4 people may develop cancer in their lifetime.* The good news is, with early detection and treatment, it is possible to have better clinical / management outcomes.

Men	Age-standardised incldence (%)	Women	Age-standardised incidence (%)
Colorectal	38.2%	Breast	69.8%
Lung	32.6%	Colorectal	27.2%
Prostate	31.8%	Lung	15.4%
Liver & Intrahepatic Bile Ducts	17.7%	Corpus Uteri (Uterus)	16.9%
Lymphoid Neoplasms	17.8%	Ovary & Fallopian Tube	13.1%
Non-Melanoma Skin	12.3%	Lymphoid Neoplasms	12.3%

Common cancers by gender

Lung cancer and breast cancer had the highest mortality rates in males and females respectively. Lung cancer accounted for 27.6 per cent of cancer deaths among males in Singapore and breast cancer accounted for 17.9 per cent of cancer deaths among females.

Among ethnic groups, both males and females, the incidence of cancer was highest among the Chinese, with 23,164 males and 23,925 females suffering from the disease. They were followed by the Malays, 2,326 males and 2,840 females; and then the Indians, 1,237 males and 1,423 females.

Colorectal, lung and prostate cancer were the top ranked cancers among the male resident population (Figure 1), while breast, colorectal and lung cancer were the top ranked cancers among female residents (Figure 2).

Some cancer risk factors are within your control while some are not

The majority of cancer cases are sporadic, i.e. the disease is not inherited. By pure chance, many cases of "common" cancers such as breast, colon and lung cancers can appear to run in a family. Your personal risk depends on factors such as your age, family history of cancer and your tendency to inherit cancer genes. These are beyond your control. Other risk factors that are within our control are not genetic. These include our lifestyle, diet, smoking and environmental exposure. We must work to reduce or prevent these risk factors.

Prevention and early detection of cancer

Although great advances have been made in the treatment of cancer, the impact on survival rates has been incremental rather than dramatic. Many cancer patients are also diagnosed relatively late, at which stage their treatment options are often severely limited. Prevention and early detection of cancer are therefore key strategies in cancer control efforts. You must be responsible for your own health – only you hold the key to your well-being.

Maybe Buddhist can help to answer. But fm an Islamic point of view, suicide is a very very serious sin.

Karma—What Goes Around Comes Around?
www.psychologytoday.com

I recently won an academic prize, and one of the journalists I talked to was keen to attribute my winning to karma (because I had previously arranged for the nomination of another winner).

The idea of karma originated in Indian religions such as Hinduism and Buddhism, but is also used in the West to mean that good deeds will be rewarded with good results, with the opposite for bad deeds. This assumption is captured in the popular saying “What goes around comes around” and in the much older proverb “As you sow, so shall you reap.”

The idea of karma is different from the view that what happens is the result of fate, destiny, or what is “meant to be.” Karma allows room for free will: You make a choice and then benefit or suffer as the result of your choice. In contrast, fate and destiny do not allow room for free will. But like fate and destiny, the idea of karma is not based on any good evidence.

What would it take to show that karma actually exists? We would need to consider a large sample of human behavior, and look to see whether there is a substantial correlation between people doing good things and having good things happen to them later, and between people doing bad things and having bad things happen to them later. Of course, the study would also need to consider cases where good deeds and bad deeds are not followed by commensurate results.

To my knowledge, no one has ever conducted such an investigation. The plausibility of karma is based on a few anecdotes and on the general appeal of the idea that people will get what they deserve. In the background is the religious idea that cosmic reciprocity is ensured by divine actions, with a god or gods ensuring that people really do get what they deserve. This idea is no more plausible than the formerly widespread belief that the good will of the gods can be achieved by sacrificing animals. Reciprocity—treating people well because they have treated you well—is an important part of human interactions, but the cosmos plays no part in it. The original Buddhist idea of karma based on reincarnation is even more problematic with respect to evidence.

Independent of the problem of finding evidence for divine reciprocity, we can certainly consider counterexamples to the claim that "what goes around comes around." In history, there have been legions of people who have done good deeds for their families and other people while still living lives of quiet desperation. At the other end, there are despotic leaders like Stalin and predatory criminals like Jack the Ripper who got to the end of their lives without any particularly dire consequences.

These examples do not prove that there is no such thing as karma, but should combine with the lack of evidence for karma to support the conclusion that karma is just a myth. The belief that what goes around comes around is just wishful thinking.

Similarly, there is no evidence that supports ideas about fate, destiny, and some things being meant to be, or not meant to be. In my most widely viewed blog post, I raised the question: Does everything happen for a reason? I argued that the view that everything happens for a reason is implausible because events sometimes occur by chance or by accident.

Like karma, fate, and destiny, the view that everything happens for a reason merely serves to provide false assurance to people suffering through a difficult world.

People would be better off to use evidence-based reasoning to figure out how to deal with unavoidable uncertainty, without mythology.

Likely based on cause and effect. Which make some sense.

It is ok, still much less than the number of new citizens imported from CECA

Likely based on cause and effect. Which make some sense.

sometimes i find living tiring
need to eat and drink to stay alive
and rinse and repeat daily
now if i can, i try to eat only 1 meal per day
that should be enough for my daily existence
eat more shit more
eat less no need to go toilet do big biz so often
just drink lots of plain water and keep hydrated will do
