That's not exactly true here's what i found:
Everyone has cells that have mutant proteins from DNA damage, but to say that that's cancer would be alarmist," says Jennifer Loros, Ph.D, a professor of biochemistry and genetics at Dartmouth medical school. A cell's natural cycle has checkpoints when it determines whether it's in a healthy state and should divide, or is damaged and should repair or kill itself. "Cancer can occur when the normal checkpoints in the cell cycle are misregulated somehow and the [unhealthy] cell starts dividing," Loros says. Usually, a powerful protein called P-53 will trigger tumor suppression if damage is detected at the checkpoint, causing a potential cancer to stop dead in its tracks.

Recently, Loros's research team found that cell damage can trigger the body's biological clock to reset itself. She suspects that protective proteins might fool these cells into thinking they're at the time in their cycle when cell division doesn't occur, thus averting cancer in the making...

This is great Rodent! I'm willing to do some Breast Cancer Avatars, Signatures and Banners if people need any just shoot me a pm.

I love this idea you came up with Rodent. Very awesome and brings the community together. My auntie sadly passed away due to brain cancer. Life is too short when it wants to be but this made me stronger as a person to go through as a family member.

Thank you very much for supporting this, for the many years i have been on TTG (other accounts also) i have seen you supporting this and that warms my heart.
