Thyroid Cancer

Cancer according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) is defined as a disease in which abnormal cell divide without control and can invade nearby tissues, cancer cells can also spread to other part of the body through the blood and lymph systems. There are several types of cancer, like Leukemia, Prostate cancer, Thyroid Cancer and, sadly, there´s a lot more.
Thyroid cancer occurs in the cell of the thyroid a gland based in the base of our neck, the thyroids produce hormones that regulate blood pleasure, body temperature, weight and how quickly food is changed into energy, etc. For example in Woman´s a Thyroid disorder can affect the puberty, menstruation, reproduction, pregnancy, postpartum and menopause.

Thyroid Cancer

Exist different types of Thyroid cancers: Papillary, follicular, medullary, anaplastic and lymphoma thyroid cancer, the first one is the more common and can occur at any age, but often affect people at age of 30 to 50. In the case of medullary cancer sometimes is caused by a change in a gene that is passed from parent to child. Thyroid cancer is more often diagnostic in woman´s.

Even if is not clear what cause the Thyroid cancer there are risk factors, a risk factor is what can increase the possibilities of getting a disease, but that doesn’t mean if you don’t have any one of those risk that you can’t have the illness. In the case of Thyroid cancer some risk factors are:

Goiter (enlarged thyroid)

• Being between 25 and 65 years old.
• Being female.
• Being exposed to radiation to the head and neck as an infant or child or being exposed to radioactive fallout. The cancer may occur as soon as 5 years after exposure.
• Having a history of goiter (enlarged thyroid).
• Having a family history of thyroid disease or thyroid cancer. 

There's no way to prevent thyroid cancer in people who have an average risk of the disease, but Adults and children with an inherited gene mutation that increases the risk of medullary thyroid cancer are often advised to have thyroid surgery to prevent cancer.

Post Graduate Studies

I think it’s too early for me to think in what I’m going to do when or if I finish my career, but I would to like to do a Master of Science specifically in the University of Helsinki in Finland, because that can give a lot of opportunities abroad such as work in different fields like industry, research or education, I mean as a chemist, you can be a part of developing new inventions and serve as an expert in your field, this Master takes two years and is taught in three different idioms English, Finnish, Swedish that’s why I need to speak a perfect English. I don’t know what kind of system they use for teach but I think a blended system it’s the best, because you combine online educational materials and with traditional place-based classroom methods.

University of Helsinki

There’s so many things that universities offer to you here in Chile or abroad that is really difficult and confusing choose one, but the only thing I’m sure about I want to study abroad, because I want to learn new things of many different countries like Finland and how different the education is there and  studying everything that its possible about Chemistry and with luck work in something or in a place that I can be a person that helps in the progress of the Chemistry.

Future Job

 Pick a career for me (I think for many people too) was very difficult I was really confused with what to do with my future, until now I'm still confused regarding my future job, I'm absolute sure about studying Chemistry, I love chemistry that is the strongest reason for me to studying this, also I would like to do a Master of Chemistry. When people ask me what I'm going to do after finish all my studies, I can’t answer right away, I feel like I have many thinks that I could do but weirdly at the same time I feel like there’s nothing.

One thing that I know for sure it's I want travel a lot I wish find a job that can give me those opportunities I'm hoping it could be possibly, maybe as a Laboratory Investigator doing scientific experiments or researches in Environmental Agencies kind of Sierra Club this organization was founded in 1892 is one of the most powerful and effective in America people who fight for the preservation of forest and land, clear air and water and many others stuffs, that could be fun and highly satisfying and could give the chance of work outside with many people and inside of a laboratory more alone. 

The salary, at least for me, it matters because I’m going to live of that obviously I don't expect to be a millionaire but I want to live what people call a ''good and nice life'' with, I hope, not that bad many moments. But I still have time to think and evaluate my possibilities and before find a job I have to fulfill the career.

My Pets

In my family we love pets, dogs, cats, rabbits we even had a guinea pig, my mom always tell me stories about how my grandma took care of cats that were living on the street and maybe as payback the cats always were following her to buy or even to the bus parade and when my grandma died those cats, now much more older, followed my mom now.

My older brother love so much to have pets, I remember when I was three or four having like two rabbits, it was fun and they were so cute, at the same time we used to take care of a dog and i loved him so much and it was weird because I was so scared of dogs (I really had a bad experience with them) , sadly we had to move out of the house, the rabbits ran away also someone else took care of the dog.

Guinea Pig

My mom didn't want to have more pets, because she dint want me to suffering when they go away, we didn't had pets for the following three years but then someone gave to my brother a guinea pig, he was so lovely, I liked play with him, he really gave me company.

Now I have three cats, we love them I always tell to my mom that they are my brother and sisters. One of them, Gomito (his mom was called Gomita), is ten years old he was supposed to be a gift for my cousin but he stayed at my house when he was just a few months old, the other two are just a year old, their name are Nissa and Mocca, they are so playful and all of them are beautiful. Of all the pets we ever had in my house I can’t just choose one, I love them all you can’t leave someone behind.

My favorite book and film

It's hard to pick a favorite book there's so many good ones, I like to read almost any kind of books, sometimes I read them fast or sometimes I take my time. When i was fourteen a friend of mine recommend me a book called "City of Bones" by Cassandra Clare, the books tell the story of a normal girl in NYC who discover the existence of a whole new world with shadowhunters, demons, angels, vampires, werewolf and a witches! I started the book without much interest but that changed completely after the first chapter, it was so good and then I couldn't stop reading! It took me like three days to finish the book, then I found that it was not just a book but a complete saga, I was the happiest person in the world. The books aren't the most complexed books for read, actually all of them are very easy, the story it's really entertain and all I can say it's that I really recommend this saga when you are bored and have nothing else to do.

When someone ask me about my favorite film answer the question is pretty easy, it always the same "Hacksaw Ridge" is a movie of 2016 based in the real story of Desmond T. Doss who was a soldier during WWII who refused to use weapons for religious grounds, this is a movie that I would beg to people for see it's a beautiful, wonderful and painful film, I saw this movie in 2017 with a friend, both of us loved the entire movie, the end is magnific and remarkable.
