September = Childhood Cancer Awareness Month
Did you know that more than 400,000 children and teenagers are diagnosed with cancer every year worldwide?
Gold is a universal symbol because it represents the fact that every child’s life is “more precious than gold.”
The most common types of cancer among children are:
* Leukemia
* Brain tumors
Shockingly, some chronic infections, such as malaria or Epstein-Barr virus, can increase the likelihood of children developing cancer, especially in developing countries!
The good news? Over the past forty years, cure rates have increased dramatically thanks to medical advancements.
But awareness is crucial… If your child experiences these symptoms, consult a doctor immediately:
* Unexplained fatigue and weakness.
* Frequent infections or abnormal bleeding.
* Headaches and nausea upon waking.
* Swollen glands, fever, and night sweats.
A message to every parent: Sharing this information could save a child’s life!
In your opinion, do Arab societies give this issue enough attention?
