Cancer is NOT contagious.
You cannot catch cancer by
• Touch
• Sharing food
• Living together
• Caring for a patient
• Being close or supportive
Cancer is caused by genetic changes in cells, lifestyle factors, infections like HPV or Hepatitis (not the cancer itself), and environmental exposures.
Avoiding someone with cancer does not protect you.
It only isolates the person when they need support the most.
💙 What actually helps
• Early screening
• Timely diagnosis
• Evidence based treatment
• Emotional and social support
Cancer needs care, not fear.
