17. 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.
