We all know what cancer is. But many of us do not know in details about cancer. The medical term for cancer is carcinoma or malignant tumor. Most of us know cancer as a dreadful disease and there is no cure for cancer. Well, there is no cure for most types of cancer, but some types of cancers are curable such as skin cancer (e.g. basal cell carcinoma). Squamous cell carcinoma (another common skin cancer type) is associated with bad prognosis, unlike basal cell skin carcinoma. Squamous cell carcinoma have bad prognosis because this form of skin cancer frequently metastasize (spread to other distant organs and carry poor prognosis) before diagnosis. Removal of skin cancer lesion at an early stage can cure skin cancer completely. There are also various types of cancers which can be treated and lifespan of the cancer patient can be extended to 10 years or more, such as breast cancer. Breast cancer has very good prognosis in compare to many other types of cancers and it is very common for breast cancer patients to live more than 10 years after diagnosis with proper treatment.

There are some cancers which have no effective treatment and patients diagnosed with such types of cancers live less than a year after diagnosis, such as Lung cancer, mesothelioma, pancreatic cancers etc. The diagnosis of such types of cancer is associated with very poor survival and metal agony to the patient’s family.

Blood cancer or Leukemia is generally seen among children and the prognosis is not satisfactory. The only effective treatment available for leukemia victims is bone marrow transplantation from a first degree relative. The best donor for bone marrow transplant is a sibling (an identical twin, if available) and it may not be available.

There are various websites available which can give you information All about cancer in details. If any of your family member or friend is diagnosed with cancer (any type of cancer), it is wise to get information whatever is available and decide on the modality of management.

Why I asked the above question (the title of this article) is very simple. Hair loss is a common health problem. Contrary to popular belief, women also suffer from hair loss, although the percentage or total number of women suffering from thinning of hair may be less than men. But, many studies have revealed that as much as two third of the women suffer from hair loss at some point of time. Now, just imagine how common thinning of hair is among men? It may be difficult to find a man who does not suffer from hair loss, although this may be a little exaggeration.

For most men hair loss or thinning of hair is a troublesome problem, although many men may not accept it to be a trouble, but from inner mind they will like to have normal hair if possible. For women thinning of hair or loss of hair is a scary thing. Total loss of hair from head is scarier. I think I do not need to mention why hair loss is a scary thing for women.

If you also suffer from thinning of hair, as most men and women suffer, you should know that there are several solutions for hair loss. Probably the best solution for men is to accept baldness and remain bald, as this method does not cost you anything and does not have any problems associated with treatment such as side effects. You may be thinking that I am joking, but for your kind information there are thousands (may be millions) of people who has accepted baldness, including many Hollywood stars. You will find dozens of celebrities who accepted baldness and are happy with it.

There are other approaches to treatment of thinning of hairs, which I will discuss in later articles.

If you are a new blogger, you might be having a question about how to increase visitors in your blog or in bloggers term “traffic”. If you want to increase traffic to your blog, you might have read already a few articles on popular blogs about the ways to increase traffic to your blog. You might have followed the some of the tips you learned from these articles about “how to increase traffic to your blog” and the improvement in the traffic may be only modest and you are not satisfied with the traffic increase.

I went through the same path of not being able to get enough traffic and learned a few tricks (better call tips) to increase traffic to your blog and will share the tips I learned myself with experience. Most of the tips I share here must be there in some other blogs and articles also.

Blogging Tip no. 1:

The most important aspect for a blogger to increase traffic to his/her blog is regularity or write about your subject or topic on regular basis. Regular basis means daily, weekly, fortnightly or monthly. The frequency of your writing should be at least once a month (on a fix date of a month e.g. on 1^st of every month). If you are writing weekly also it should be on a fix day, e.g. every Monday/Sunday. The best is to write at least 2 articles every week. In this way, your readers will know better about your topics and follow your blog.

You might be thinking this blog of mine is not getting enough traffic; yes this blog does not get enough traffic, as I post regularly on some other blog (and not this blog). The blog where I write regularly have at present Alexa rank of approximately 150K and slowly but steadily improving.

Blogging Tip no. 2:

I don’t understand this tip myself. But I found using h2 tag help in ranking higher in search engines (probably search engines are designed such a way which help to find h2 tagged words faster and easier). If you want to highlight a subheading use h2 tag, it will improve your ranking for that word/phrase. Search engine spiders are designed to find h2 tagged words better/earlier than other words.

Today the 2 tips I shared are enough and I will write about other tips which I learned while doing practically. Keep visiting this blog.

Many people blog these days and blogging has become, sort of a fashion. The reason for blogging may be different for different bloggers. Some people blog to tell the world what they have in mind and some blog to earn money. As the number of bloggers increase the reasons of blogging also is increasing.

I blog for telling (informing) the people about my knowledge and which is related to my profession. As a doctor I think I can help many people by providing health related information. I also blog for earning s few bucks (I earn very few from this blog, but I have some other blogs which I use for earning), so that I can pay for the hosting and domain registration. It is wise to earn something and pay from that earning your domain registration and web hosting service. These days it is not a wise decision to pay yourself and gain nothing in terms of financial benefit. Even if you decide not to earn, you should not make any losses, this is simply not wise economically. These days of economic constrains you can do some charity, but it should be some other way.

If you are helping through charity, it will be best if you can get a source of income for that charity and not from your hard earned money. At this way you can become more charitable, as it is not affecting you economically. If your charity is not cutting your pocket, you will be able to continue it for long and whole heartedly.

So the main reason I blog is to provide health related information which I think will be useful to the readers of my blogs. The next reason I blog is to earn enough so that I can continue doing the service to the readers of my blogs. Till now I have been successful in doing the primary role as a blogger and hope that one day I can become full time blogger and help many people with health info.
