Husky: Media Foster Cancer Scare

The media seem to have their focus on cancer recently, constantly giving the public updates on studies and causes. With all of this flying at us at once, how can one possibly take it all in and therefore heed the advice given? Jade Goody (pictured), a British reality show star who got her fame on “Big Brother,” is a 27-year-old terminally ill cancer patient. Her cervical cancer spread to her liver, groin and bowel, and she has said she will die during March. She’s done various interviews about her illness and even wed her husband on TV Feb. 22. “I’ve lived in front of cameras,” Goody told the Daily Mail Reporter. “And maybe I’ll die in front of them”/ Kelsey Husky , UI Argonaut.

Question: Kelsey Husky goes on to say that studies show that cancer is more survivable than ever. She goes on to say that the media should provide updates on possible cures rather than focus largely on dying patients. Do you agree?
