Where can you find truthful answers about bone cancer?

Bone cancer?

Q: Recently I found out that my sister has bone cancer. First they found a brain tumor, and after running tests they also found out she has bone cancer. They are saying that the tumor is a malignant melanoma. My sister is only 29 and has dealt w/ hardships her entire life. Her mother (we only share the same dad) drank heavily while she was pregnant and when she was born she didn’t recieve oxygen for too long which resulted in brain damage. She is not retarded but she has problems w/ motor skill and speech. I guess I’m just wondering what anyone can tell me about bone cancer, are there treatment options, and how long is someone w/ bone cancer expected to live? ThanksI’m not sure if I was right about the malignant melanoma wording or not but either way she has a brain tumor

A: My heart goes out to you and your sister. Life isn’t fair, is it? She shouldn’t have to deal with this on top of everything else. If she has a brain tumor and it has spread to the bones, the prognosis usually isn’t good. The only one who can really tell you is her oncologist. I’m assuming she’s been seeing an oncologist, a cancer specialist. Hopefully, this doctor will be part of a cancer center with a number of doctors and lots of services. The oncologist will recommend a course of treatment, often including radiation and chemotherapy. The treatment is usually done over a period of a few months as an out patient. Your sis will have to go there and have chemo, probably. There are a number of side effects from chemo, but most can be dealt with. The cancer centers have it down and know what to expect. They should be able to keep her comfortable.The main thing is for someone to ask lots of questions. Keep asking until you understand what’s going on. Call back for clarification if needed. Someone should go to her appointments with her. This is a traumatic experience and often the patient is too upset to take it all in. Also, it’ll be a lot of information and it may be hard for just one person to remember it all. Your sister and her loved ones have a right to understand what’s going on and what the plans are. She’s going to need a lot of support. Enlist the help of anyone who is willing. As time goes on, you’ll know what kind of help you need. It may be help with shopping, laundry, picking up medicine, rides to the doctor. When people ask what they can do, be ready with a real answer. Tell them that they could give her a ride to treatment, or some other chore. It’ll make the load easier and it gives the person offering something concrete to do so that they can feel like they helped. This is good for all involved. It’s impossible to know what caused the cancer, in most cases. No one should blame themselves. The American Cancer Society is a great help to patients and their families. The provide all kinds of help like getting people wigs or a ride to treatment, as well as educating people and providing support. Their web site is at www.cancer.orgI hope this helped. I’m a retired nurse who worked in this area but also the relative of two cancer patients.

what can I expect from stomach cancer?

Q: started as breast cancer and progressed to stomach,leg,bone,brain and liver cancer.Is there a successful treatment for this. that you are aware of.

A: I think reading the information below, and the referenced reports will help you a great deal.I have always believed that the mainstream medical industry is not interested in finding a cure for cancer because it makes too much profit with its present barbarous methods.Eventually, I came across a detailed report which agreed with my findings, and I have included it in my web page athttp://dgwa1.fortunecity.com/body/cancer.htmlBy reading this report, you will also convince yourself that it is best to ignore the mainstream cancer industry, and seek alternative cures. Also you should bear in mind that the medical industry will do anything to protect its profitable position, including disparaging alternative healers or even creating bogus court cases.I believe that cancer is a whole body thing, which in 80 percent of cases manifests itself by producing symptoms in the weaker parts of the body, and therefore appearing localised. It is this treatment of symptoms instead of cause which creates the profitable, yet non-successful approach of mainstream medicine.Some cures are listed on the web page too.It is therefore obvious that a holistic approach is required, based on cleansing, diet, exercise and debugging.CLEANSINGThe best way of cleansing is to fast.http://www.phifoundation.org/menses.htmlhttp://www.healthy.net/scr/article.asp?ID=1996but if a patient is too weak for that, or does not fancy the idea, then alternative cleanses are available.Colon Cleansehttp://www.soundfeelings.com/free/colon_cleansing.htm#recipeBowel cleansehttp://www.curezone.com/schulze/herbal_colon_cleanse_1_2.aspkidney cleansehttp://www.curezone.com/cleanse/kidney/default.asphttp://www.ehow.com/how_12678_kidney-cleansing-fast.htmlhttp://www.falconblanco.com/health/cleansing/kidney.htmlhttp://www.healingdaily.com/colon-kidney-detoxification.htmhttp://www.healthfree.com/cleansing_programs_kidney.htmlLiver cleansehttp://www.drclark.net/en/drclark_protocol/illnesses/liver_cleanse.phpGallbladder cleansehttp://www.curezone.com/cleanse/liver/default.asphttp://www.curezone.com/cleanse/liver/huldas_recipe.aspPancreas cleansehttp://curezone.com/dis/1.asp?C0=261DIET,The best diet is vegetarian, avoiding all processed, frozen or micro-waved foods and drinks, and based on fresh fruit, fresh vegetables – preferably organic, nuts and seeds. Drinks should be clean water or freshly squeezed orange juice.Many researchers promote the benefits of vitamin B17 as a healer. this can be found in the following foods:Apple seeds, alfalfa sprouts, apricot kernels, bamboo shoots, barley, beet tops, bitter almond, blackberries, boysenberries, brewer’s yeast, brown rice, buckwheat, cashews, cherry kernels, cranberries, currants, fava beans, flax seeds, garbanzo beans, gooseberries, huckleberries, lentils, lima beans, linseed meat, loganberries, macadamia nuts, millet, millet seed, peach kernels, pecans, plum kernels, quince, raspberries, sorghum cane syrup, spinach, sprouts (alfalfa, lentil, mung bean, buckwheat, garbanzo), strawberries, walnuts, watercress, yams.A commercial preparation of B17 is available called Laetrile.EXERCISEExercise should be sufficient to create a sweat, but not sufficient to make you gasp for breath or feel over-tired. About one hours exercise every day is best.DEBUGGINGThere are various theories about how bugs create cancer.Hulda Clark suggests that parasites are the cause, and that they can be disposed of by using a zapper.Zappers are available fromSuper Zapper DeLuxehttp://www.drclark.net Clark Zapper with amazing features get a free CD ROMhttp://www.paradevices.com/zapper_works.htmlTerminator Crystal Orgone Zapper Blood Purification Parasite SolutionElectrical stimulation devices for blood purification, parasites, relaxation, and addictions.http://www.elixa.com/estim/zap.htmHigh frequency parasite zapper.
