Alex's question on Miss X demonstrating cancer cells consciousness made me reflect on my past experience. My father suffered from early stage of cancer before he passed away from a lung infection. During the last year, my family members found him extremely challenging as he was anti-social, had difficulty communicating with us and tended to be extremely harsh in terms of behaviour and words. He carried destructive thoughts patterns and was reluctant to entertain anything positive. He consumed food that was bad for his body - high in carbohydrates and meat. When I researched the characteristics of cancer cells, I discovered that they tended to be anti-social, destructive, vicious and unable to communicate with other cells. The similarities between my dad's behaviour with that of cancer cells led me to believe that cancer patients do demonstrate cancer cells consciousness.
