Wow, I am so sorry you are dealing with this. I will post a few links in my sources that might give you some help. The Jawaharlal Nehru Cancer Hospital & Research Centre might be a good option but I think your best bet is to contact the doctor that made the diagnosis and follow their instructions carefully. If you want a second opinion, get one if you can but don't put off treatment at this point. If they feel they cannot treat it, seek another opinion. If nothing else hun, enjoy the time you have left with your father. I will say a prayer for your father tonight.

What is the best hospital in Chicago for Cancer treatment

What is the best hospital in Chicago for Cancer treatment?
I have low grade dysplasia and HPV after having a coloposcopy and a leep procedure earlier this year. It has returned and I want to get a second opinion from a gynecological oncologst since my regular doctor is not really a specialist in this. I haven't really paid attention until now about which Hospital is the best to go to, since they all run commercials that say they are the best according to some award or magazine article. Which Hospitals in Chicago are the best in achieving cures in Cancer treatment, especially cervical cancer?

I know Northwestern Memorial Hospital's doctors are excellent for cancer specialties. They are very thorough and caring. There's also that Cancer Treatment Center, but I think that's in the suburbs of Chicago.

Block Medical Center in Evanston! I have seen patients given three months to live and have been living for the past 10 years!! It is a holistic cancer center meaning it centers around healthy lifestyles and chemotherapy. They offer things like nutritional counseling, accupunture, massage therapy, and so on. They are very well known and the doctors here are wonderful. Best of all it doesn't feel like a doctor's office, and when recieving chemo therapy you are in your own private room in a big comfy lounge chair. (i could go on and on) if you would like more info just email me. good luck.

Is income from donations made to you for cancer treatment taxable

Is income from donations made to you for cancer treatment taxable?
Say your child or you have cancer and it will cost thousands for treatment, and you ask for donations, put out donation cans and have fundraisers... You raise like $20,000. Is that money taxable if it goes straight to the treatment of your condition?

gifts are not income
2 :
No. You are never required to pay tax on gifts that you receive from persons for whom you did not do anything. However, you must pay tax on "gifts" that are really tips from your customers or bonuses from your employer. If the person gives the money to you as a gift that you may use for any purpose and you use it for a medical expense, then you can deduct the medical expense. If the person pays for the medical expense directly, then you cannot deduct the medical expense. The donor also cannot deduct the medical expense, unless the patient was a dependent of the donor. The donor cannot deduct the donation as a contribution to charity. Only donations to charitiable organizations may be deducted, not donations to individuals.

Any supplements should always be cleared first by the treating oncologist. Many "natural" remedies and even some vitamin supplements etc can actually counteract the action of some types of chemotherapy. I had many well-meaning friends who recommended all sorts of treatments and supplements while I was going through my treatment, some of them were offended when I politely refused their offer to supply the recommended supplement. This particular supplement was actually one my oncologist had already warned me to avoid. Friends have their place providing support physically, financially or emotionally but leave the health care to the medical team.

This question REALLY needs to be posed to your doctor. While yahoo answers people are eager to help, and there may be some doctors in the house, you should not take medical advice from strangers on the internet. That being said, look into eating more wholesome and nutritious foods in addition to whatever supplements your doctors suggest. I wish you all the best.

Hi Big T, one of my friend has an experience with cancer too, he should do the chemotherapy until now, during the chemotherapy he eats the supplement that he bought from the website below, the supplement really helps him to survive from chemotherapy effect, the supplements doesn't make him became bald after chemotherapy, the condition of his body quite stable until now... Hopefully the information could help you, keep spirit and never give up, believe God will help your friend with unexpected ways.....

Maybe you wanna try herbs: typhonium flagelliforme (RODENT TUBER). This herbs is famous, esp in South East Asia. Work to boost the immune system and reduce the side effects of chemotherapy & radiotherapy. They have many testimonies from cancer patients who get the benefit of taking this herbs. Please browse yourself in: www.cancerhelps.com Thank you.

ok , you said that the side fx are getting bad , even worse as time goes by , here is how you can kill several birds with one stone . I looked up side fx of radiation and easily found this below........ ......................................… The most common side effects of radiation and or chemo therapy are fatigue, weakness, lowered infection resistance, ......................................… long term side effects often occur with treatment of abdominal and pelvic cancers. These may include bowel obstruction, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, frequent urination, bladder irritation, vaginal fibrosis and skin changes around the area of treatment. ......................................… notice up there is says lowered infection resistance , why , simple , radiation and or chemo , among other cancer treatments weaken the immune system , its good that it got the cancer but a lot of your healthy cells went with them including immune system cells . this is well known , look it up for yourself . ......................................… what if I told you that there is a non toxic drug that has no adverse side fx , low cost , about 30 a month,..................................… that oncologist , neurologist , md's , phd's in the usa and all over the world are prescribing and seeing results unheard of , for many types and stages of cancer , and preventing cancer recurrence ......................................… studies that were done years ago by dr bihari in new york showed that people with autoimmune disorders like ms , lupus , crohns , etc... and ....cancer........ , showed that they all had about 25% of the normal endorphin levels in their blood , what they discovered is that immune function is closely related to endorphin levels , and immune system communication , yes your immune communicates , how do you think vaccines work , your given something that alerts your immune system so if it shows up later you immune system will recognize it and kill it before it causes disease . like polio ........................................… ......................................… this non toxic drug Iam speaking of causes your body to make more endorphins and enkephalins , Many body tissues have receptors for these endorphins and enkephalins, including virtually every cell of the body's immune system. , with no adverse side fx ....................................... well one of the side fx is most people who take this low dose medication never catch colds or flus , or they are short lived ,.......................................… ok the reason I said all that is because you had cancer , and for whatever reason your immune system did not keep it in check , because that is what a modulated , strong immune system does , it keeps you healthy , and normal endorphin levels make you feel good naturally .......................... and keeps your immune system strong , modulated and healthy , and in return you get better emotionally , physically , I have seen it happen personally . ........................................… so many cancer patients who were told by their cancer doctors "nothing can be done " are still alive and cancer free or on the way to being cancer with free with ldn , low dose naltrexone . ......................................… naltrexone was made for something else years ago at higher doses , 50 mg or more , what dr bihari discovered is when he lowered the dose down to between 3 and 4.5 mg amazing things began to happen to the immune system , it was normalized and supercharged , in laymans terms , lol ,........... dr berkson , md, phd , treated many pancreatic cancer patients with low dose naltrexone , these people came to him after standard treatment failed and after their cancer docs told them to get into hospice , well they are still alive and healthy and working after low dose naltrexone ! ......................................… look up low dose naltrexone at yahoo and yahoo groups . ......................................… there are many videos from doctors and patients talking about ldn and what it did for them on y0u tube ................................. both links below are doctors sites , ldn.org does not profit from ldn in any way , please learn about it for yourself , oh yea , I can tell you first hand that other than supercharging the immune system , it also gives you a sense of well being , endorphins do that naturally , not the drug , ldn causes your body to make more endorphins in a non toxic way , have you ever heard of a runners high ? running raises endorphin levels a little , ldn does much more , no side fx , low cost , no brainer low_dose_naltrexone@yahoo.com

How can I get my kid to Mayon Clinic for cancer treatment if she refuses to be treated like a stripper

How can I get my kid to Mayon Clinic for cancer treatment if she refuses to be treated like a stripper?
My daughter needs cancer treatment which the Mayo Clinic specializes in but she does not want to been leered at naked by TSA agents and/or fondled by them. It is too far for her to take a bus (1800 miles) and no train service is close by.

i hate to say it but to get the treatment you may have to force her to do this but keep your eyes wide open while they do this to her and record this on your cell phone if you have one.

and she is disobedient and you allow it.. naked is not done nor fondled. maybe she has read all the crackpots ranting on here. most have never flown a mile but know all about it. would she rather die than get an xray?

Is extreme fatigue a symptom of cancer, or just what happens during cancer treatment

Is extreme fatigue a symptom of cancer, or just what happens during cancer treatment?
If you have cancer of any kind, would extreme fatigue be a symptom of that? Or are you just severely fatigued once you begin treatment? I know chemo and radiation takes a major toll on the body and that of course causes fatigue, but could you feel that way before you even find out you have cancer?? Thanks in advance.

Often you become rundown first by a simple cold or flu, stress, old age - then cancer takes it's opportunity to strike. Happened to relatives.
2 :
Yes you can feel that way. My younger sister was very lethargic for years. Long story short, it turned out she had a very rare form of lung cancer. They had to remove 2/3rds of her right lung, but it got rid of the cancer (the rare type she had did not aggressively spread). It has been 2 years since the surgery (she is now 20) and she is doing pretty good. She does still have some fatigue from missing part of a lung, but she is much better than when she was sick. She still has to get checked every six months, but so far so good! If you are worried you should definitely get it checked out. If the doctor doesn't find anything keep going back to different docs! It saved my sister's life!
3 :
It can be a symptom of both. Then again fatigue can be a symptom of thousands of things.
4 :
Before I was diagnosed with cancer, I got tired more than usual. I didn't think anything of it and just thought I should go to bed earlier. Then I started getting sharp pains in my breast. They say that's not a sign of breast cancer but it was for me. Anyway, yes it can happen. Fatigue can also be caused from a number of other things like stress, depression is a major sign. Many people can be depressed and not realize it at first but the signs will be there and fatigue is one of them. Just not wanting to do anything. Chemo will also cause these signs. It sounds like you already know what chemo does to the body so I won't won't get into that. Another big reason for extreme fatigue could be anemia. Low blood iron will do that as well. So, you need to see a doctor and have some blood work done so they can determine just what's causing this fatigue. Hope you do better and God bless you
5 :
It depends on the type of cancer and how far it's progressed, but yes, you can feel extremely fatigued due to cancer before finding out or starting treatment.

A dear friend of mine has Stage 3A lung cancer, but also has Parkinson's Disease, and there appear to be limited treatment options. Can anyone provide some guidance on this issue?

the only definitive cure for lung cancer is through surgery, however it is not done on everyone, as not everyone is a suitable candidate i would presume your friend is in the 60-70 age group, which is not a really the best age to have radical surgery (as it is a major surgery and may involve removing the whole affected lung) and taking additional chemotherapies or radiotherapies to increase the effectiveness of the surgery would make the experience much worse. and with the cancer already at an advanced stage, makes the doctor to tend to steer away from the surgical option. even so, sometimes with radiotherapy or chemotherapy the tumor may shrink and downstage the tumor that the surgeons might consider surgery as an option later along the course
2 :
My sympathy and thoughts go out to you and your friend. I have been with a Research company for the past 10 years and they have had some remarkable results with a product called Transfer Factor. I have literally been witness to hundreds of cases where the success has been incredible with Cancer. It has also had good results with Parkinson's disease. You might want to look into it for your friend. The product is completely natural. It is geared towards raising your immune intelligence and training your body's best defense to deal with foreign invaders of all kinds. It's an advancement in biotechnology that has over 3,000 clinical studies. You can find more about it by visiting: www.4lifetransferfactorstore.com That site has testimonials from many people who have experienced the benefits of Transfer Factor, plus their are some clinical study results, and more information on how Transfer Factor works. I wish the best for you and your friend during this difficult time.

What is the correct cancer treatment for this

What is the correct cancer treatment for this?
If you have a precancerous growth at a different site in the same organ from where you had cancer originally, what would treatment be? Would you need more chemo because of your cancer history, if you have only been in remission for a few months. I think the precancerous growth had the same type of cells as the original cancer, or something like that.

hi
2 :
For this to be metastatic disease the cells would HAVE TO be exactly like the cells from the primary site and they could not be precancerous. Therefore this is not metastatic disease. The only treatment needed is to remove the new growth. There is no reason for further chemo and the person is till in remission.
3 :
Only your oncologist can answer this question as we dont know the details of the cancer. Where it was and where it is now.
