Do you think it really can treat cancer? I heard that doctors can’t even detect cancer unless it multiplies to billions of cells.
Chemotherapy is just a poison in my opinion. They use people as guinea pigs: If its successful then awesome! If you die, too bad so sad on to the next patient-lets suck some money out!
What is your opinion on it, and whY??
My father died from lung cancer in 2001, and since then I have been trying to understand it. No, I have not personally had cancer, but it was close enough to watch him die at home because he went from 200lbs down to 80lbs and looked like an 10yr old kid in a matter of 8 months. If your body or immune system cannot handle it, you die sooner than you would from the cancer.
And of course doctors show concern for your health and welfare–they’re making $$$$ off of you so they have to do that. Just one shot used to cost 00 !
I’m sorry if I offended anybody who has/had cancer, that was not my intention. Maybe I’m just being very naive about the whole thing, but I’m 23 years old, and I had to lose my dad (he was 43) just 10 days after I turned 17 and I still happen to be very hurt and pissed off about it. I basically let it go for a long time and just accepted it as it was, but I recently asked my mom to dig up all the info from the doctors & hospital from back then because I never got to read any of it. Maybe I didn’t want to..or they didn’t let me? But honestly I don’t think I would choose chemo if I found out I had cancer. Watching what my dad went through and all the side effects was just not worth it, only for him to think he would get better because the doctors encouraged him, and yet he died after just 7months of the treatments.

Hey thanks for taking the time to read this. I’m doing a project on leukemia. I’m very specific w/ photos and i was hoping to find a picture with white blood cells, red blood cells, & ABNORMAL white blood cells (leukemia cells) and platelets all together in a good image. If you have any or know where i can find any please send me the link. Thanks!

Im writing a paper & need information and sources..

Does milk increase the risk of men developing prostate cancer? (Balanced Argument Needed – For & Against)?

This is just out of health & science curiosity. As there is prostate cancer, Is there a chance of getting a prostate cancer when your pleasing your prostate inside your anus while using a prostate massager toy (that includes lube)

Serious answers only please.

He is 83 yrs old. doc said has traveled into his ribs,legs at the hip & lungs.

A friend was diagnosed with prostate cancer that has spread to his lymph nodes only (has not spread to any other organs or bones). All I can find are sources that explain staging and treatments, but the more aggressive treatments (surgery/radiation) seem to be only for localized or low-grade cancer. I know the FDA seems to take forever to approve drugs/treatments that are being used abroad with great results; how do I find info on these types of studies done outside the US? Is it only a matter of time before his cancer spreads from the nodes at this point or is there a shot of chemo & hormones stopping it? Since it hasn’t spread any further, wouldn’t removing the prostate along with the nodes benefit him? I haven’t found anything stating surgery as an option once it spreads from the prostate. I’m sorry this is so long with so many questions! Thank you!

A family member has just been diagnoised & the doctor has given 3 treatments to choose from, surgery, radiation treatments(40) & inplanting Radiation Seeds into the prostate. I’m wondering what treatment others went with & how well it worked.
Thank you all in advance.
The doctor did tell him the pros & cons, gave him a booklet on prostate cancer & details of each treatment. Just curious about others who have dealt with this.

I find out my grandma has lung cancer yesterday.
Are there any cures for it to make it go away?
& How long can she live if they treat it?
She is like 80 years old btw.

my grandma was recently diagnosed. she has a partially collapsed lung because of a cancerous tumor. they’re putting her through chemotherapy & radiation treatments. the doctor hasn’t really told her what stage her cancer is in, they just classified it as "highly aggressive". they give her 3 months, to 5 years. what do you think the odds are of her actually surviving??
