Hi Mr Helleday, thank you so much for doing this AMA.

I am currently waiting for news regarding my application for PhD programs in cancer research. I can't wait to start learning more and dig deeper into cancer diseases and I have been looking for books that could help me understand more about cancer diseases,

do you have any recommendations of these books?

is there any other ways I could do to help me prepare myself for a more focused research of cancer?

Thank you!

First of all, you are amazing! and thank you for doing this AMA! There are so many things I would like to ask, I'm sorry if the questions seem to be out of order what did you feel when you was first diagnosed with it? When you have headache and migraine, will those headache medicines actually help? Also, you said that it will only get worse with time, what do you mean by that? What kind of condition is 'worse'? Thank you so much, you really are an inspiration!

Ah yes, I used his book for my reference book throughout my undergraduate and for my final year project.

Is there any other books I can look into as well?

I am open for journals and papers too. Which published papers would you like to recommend for us, before diving into cancer research? Perhaps papers that would be a really good foundation, or even just interesting to read?

Thank you thank you! I am definitely crossing my fingers :)

For those of us coming from communities who do not talk about or think about mental health (and, in extension, has very little access to therapies/treatment), what can we do to be able to tell that we are, in fact, suffering from mental health conditions?

We are often dismissed by those around us (family and friends alike), saying that we are only "sad", "lazy" and "acting up", and reading online articles doesn't help much because many of us are trying not to over self-diagnosed ourselves.

Also, is there any way for us to get help in this situation? Thank you!
