We know that our fingerprints are unique and no one else have the same fingerprint as ours, not even twins! [Image in corner: Healthy cell becoming damaged and multiplying.] [Stephanie] Science has proved that cancer begins with one or few abnormal or damaged cells. So, all patients’ cancer started with an abnormal or damaged cell. You may have the same cancer diagnosis as another person but your tumor is different than theirs. [Image in corner: Overall view of an organ with 5 different cancer growths] [Stephanie] There are 5 stages of a tumor growth, so yours may be at a certain stage while others were at a different stage. Some tumors may be aggressive while others are not. [Image in corner: Two side by side picture of lungs. Left image is stage 1 with one tumor.

[Image in corner: A woman wearing a black shirt holding hair strands.] [Stephanie] When going through chemotherapy, you may begin losing your hair while others did not. Hair loss does not occur with all chemotherapy. Whether or not your hair remains as it is, thins, or falls out, depends on the drugs and dosages.

[Image in corner: An orange triangle titled, “Treatment Options” showing Surgery, Chemotherapy, and Radiation at each corner. [Stephanie] Many people thought there’s only three treatments for cancer which is surgery, chemotherapy or radiation. No, there are several different types of treatments, depending on what kind of tumor you have and where it is located. Surgery, Chemotherapy, Radiation may be the most common treatments, but there are also Hormone therapy, Hyperthermia, Immunotherapy, Photodynamic Therapy, Stem Cell Transplant, and Targeted Therapy . Doctor can determine which therapy would be the best treatment to kill your cancer cells, by running some tests such as Biomarker testing first. [Image in corner: A changing sequence to show each categories then an overall image of diverse people.] [Stephanie] Age, sex, race, family history, disabilities or other health issues are also part of your doctor’s decision on how to treat you and to destroy or remove the cancerous tumor. Bottom line is that all cancer patients are being treated based on many various factors. Just like a fingerprint, we all have fingerprints, but each shapes differently. [Image in corner: A diverse group of people with a magnifying glass hovering over one and a clipboard with notes on it.] [Stephanie] We just need to remember not to compare our treatment or outcomes to other people’s. You could talk with other people that have similar cancer as yours, to get a better knowledge about your cancer. However, the best way to learn and understand your cancer and/or treatment is always through your doctor. Also the team at Pink Wings of Hope is available if you need someone to talk with or need help in finding peer support. [Visual Description: Ending- Light green background.
