Blood Cancer Biography
Source(google.com.pk)
Blood cancer is a form of cancer which attacks the blood, bone marrow, or lymphatic system. There are three kinds of blood cancer: leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. These malignancies have varying prognoses, depending on the patient and the specifics of the condition, but overall survival rates with blood cancer increased radically in the late 20th century with the development of advanced treatments. When caught early, blood cancer can be very manageable in some cases, which is one very good reason to make regular trips to the doctor a priority for people of all ages.
In the case of leukemia, the cancer interferes with the body's ability to make blood. Leukemia attacks the bone marrow and the blood itself, causing fatigue, anemia, weakness, and bone pain. It is diagnosed with a blood test in which specific types of blood cells are counted. Treatment for leukemia usually includes chemotherapy and radiation to kill the cancer, and in some cases measures like bone marrow transplants may be required. There are several different types of leukemia, including chronic myelogenous leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and hairy cell leukemia.

Lymphomas are blood cancers which involve the lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell. They are divided into Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's types. Lymphoma often involves swollen lymph nodes in addition to the symptoms for leukemia listed above, and it is also treated with chemotherapy and radiation. Multiple myeloma is a type of blood cancer which primarily appears in older people, involving the plasma, another type of white blood cell. Chemotherapy, radiation, and other drug treatments can be used to manage multiple myeloma.
The goal in treating blood cancer is to achieve remission, a situation characterized by the absence of symptoms. Even in remission, a blood cancer can still start up again, so people who have experienced blood cancer may need to attend regular follow-up medical appointments and annual checkups to check for a recurrence of the cancer. Blood cancer does not appear to be preventable, but like other cancers, the risk seems to be reduced among people who eat a healthy diet, exercise, and maintain good mental health.
People diagnosed with blood cancer can work with an oncologist, a doctor who specializes in cancer, or a hematologist, a doctor who specializes in diseases of the blood. Some patients work with both, attempting to develop a treatment plan which will be as effective as possible. Because individual cases can be quite varied, patients often benefit from second opinions to confirm the diagnosis and treatment plan

This might be a bit long but I do hope you read it and tell me if this would make an interesting biography.
My dad died a month ago due to his gastic cancer returning. He lived a very interesting life and I always wanted to write a biography about him, of course I'd have wished he had done it himself as he lived his life and was English teacher at a University, but oh well.
My dad had travelled the world, he worked in a oil rig in the shetlands, he was a cowboy in the australian outback, he got biten by a snake which almost killed him, he was a fisherman in alaska for a year, he traveled the west coast of America, Travelled South America, working to get just enough money to travel to the next place he wanted to go. He almost got killed in Saudi Arabia, one of his sea voyages led to a few of his friends being killed and himself falling off the ship, head first to the propeller of the ship, luckily he swam far away however got knocked unconcious, the only reason he survived was because the fishing net of the boat carried him.
He was in the Seoul British Football club as a forward, whom always got into fights and getting his bones broken and vice versa to others. He met my mother in korea, and settled down in Hong Kong. In 2008 he was diagnosed with stage three gastic cancer, due to the neglagence of the doctors who refused to give him a colonoscopy or endocsopy. He had his stomach removed and lived for a good 3 years until the cancer came back, he lived for 6 agonising months being unable to eat any food. Even in his last few weeks when he was thinner than a holocaust victim he wanted to do an operation that the doctors said would be impossible as he would die, however he survived the operation which let him take in foot a bit more. However as no one is invincible he died a few weeks later, the cancer had spread too far and he had no more energy.
Throughout his life he was always a short tempered and aggressive person, but he was also extremely intelligent, he loved to read and he was very well mannered, loving, caring and generous.
So my question is, woukd anybody read his biography? because in my opinion he was the most interesting man in the world, who lived a very diverse and adventurous life.

Cancer Biography
source(google.com.pk)
The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer is a book written by Siddhartha Mukherjee, an Indian-born American physician and oncologist. Published on November 16, 2010 by Scribner, it won the 2011 Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction: the jury called it "an elegant inquiry, at once clinical and personal".[1][2][3]
The book weaves together Mukherjee's experiences as a hematology/oncology fellow at Massachusetts General Hospital as well as the history of cancer treatment and research.[3][4] Mukherjee gave the history of cancer from its first identification 4,600 years ago by the Egyptian physician Imhotep. The Greeks had no understanding of cells, but they were familiar with hydraulics, so they used hydraulic metaphors, of humors, which were fluids whose proper balance, they believed, produced health and sickness. In the 19th century, William Halsted developed an aggressive, disfiguring surgery. Leukemia was first observed by Rudolph Virchow, and Franz Ernst Christian Neumann localized the pathology to the bone marrow. Leukemia cells are dependent on the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase, and Sidney Farber used molecules developed by Yellapragada Subbarao to block the enzyme and destroy the leukemia cells, producing a temporary remission in the disease.
According to Mukherjee, the book was a response to the demand of a patient: "I’m willing to go on fighting, but I need to know what it is that I’m battling."[5] Mukherjee states that two of his influences for the book were Randy Shilts' And the Band Played On and Richard Rhodes' The Making of the Atomic Bomb, but the defining moment for him was "when he conceived of his book as a biography".[5] It was described, by TIME magazine, as one of the 100 most influential books of the last 100 years, and by the New York Times magazine as among the 100 best works of non-fiction.
