Actor Michael Douglas has just announced that “the tumor is gone”.

The cancer death rate is decreasing around the world. According to a recent study, involving 34 European countries, fatality in 25 classes of tumors has reduced by 9% for men and 8% for women. The diagnosis of a tumor is no longer equivalent to an unavoidable death sentence.

There are many cases of celebrities who have recently overcome cancer through medicine, surgery and above all, prevention.

Back in 2003, at age 60, Robert De Niro learned he had prostate cancer thanks to a routine screening and found his cure through medication and surgical intervention.

Also, former New York mayor, Rudolph Giuliani, went through the same thing and was forced to withdraw his candidacy for the Senate.

A similar drama was lived by former South African President Nelson Mandela, British actor Roger Moore (one of the many faces of James Bond) and former Secretary of State Colin Powell, among others.

All of them have been cured.

What is Myoma?

Myomas are non cancerous tumors that are commonly found in the uterus. It is a condition that affects almost 75% of women, especially women in their 30’s and 40’s.

Just last month, I was experiencing abdominal pains and headaches, so I decided to consult my doctor. The doctor did a couple of tests, CT scans, and found multiple cysts in my uterus. Hearing the word “tumor”, I got scared, because the condition was very new to me and my family. The doctor was kind enough to let me know the details.
