Cancer

Cancer, in general, is basically the mutation of a cell that spreads and constantly makes copies of itself. Usually, cancer cells are mutations because the original cell fails to go under mitosis correctly and/or successfully. There are many subgroups of cancer and many types of cancer, which includes lung cancer, skin cancer, tumors, breast cancer, etc.

Have you ever been short of breath? What caused it? How is your overall respiratory health?

Yes, I have been short of breath. It was because I was running longer than I usually do and this was during band practice. However, my overall respiratory health is in good shape. I don't hyperventilate nor do I have short raspy breaths.
