Conclusion

• We need people to find a cure and fast because 1 in every 3 people die from liver cancer everyday. The reason I want this problem to be solved is because my great grandma died from liver cancer last year. Also doctors say that my grandma genetics of cancer could pass down in the family. So I might have liver cancer when I get older. I think that this problem could be solved if doctors and scientists work really hard on find a cure. It will be longer if they don’t work hard. Most people that take chemotherapy that have liver cancer end up dying anyway. The reason is the chemotherapy has poisons in it and it just doesn't just kill the cancer but it also kills the person with the cancer.
