we don't pay for treatment in canada.....so if you live in canada you don't need to worry about that....if you live else where i am so sorry and i hope that you can get the help/treatment/care that you need.
4 :
The only way is to not pay your bill. They do give discounts to low income without insurance. I was getting 60% off my treatment. Also the drug company will also. I was getting my chemo drugs for free, if you make under 150,000.00 a year. You can talk to a social worker and they will help you .

When ototoxic drugs are given for cancer treatment, what frequencies are affected for hearing

When ototoxic drugs are given for cancer treatment, what frequencies are affected for hearing?

I know a little girl who lost the ability to hear the higher frequencies from an ototoxic chemo drug. I believe it was Cisplatin. From what I understand, it can affect different frequencies depending on the drug, the dosage and the individual's response.

Im on tamoxifen after breast cancer treatment isit normal to bloat out?

I'm not on Tamoxifen, I'm on Arimidex; most of the women I know who take Tamoxifen say they have put on weight with it, and/or have difficulty losing weight.
2 :
I'm not sure what you mean by "bloat out" If this is a new symptom, you should check it out with your primary care physician. It may very well be unrelated to Tamoxifen. I do not 'bloat out' on it. As a side note about weight gain---I'm on Tamoxifen and have been since Sept 2007 and have been steadily LOSING weight that I put on from chemo steroids. In total, I've lost 30 pounds since last June and am almost to my normal weight. I'm eating healthy and exercising and enjoying life.

Is there a cure or successful treatment for cancer

Is there a cure or successful treatment for cancer?
I may know of a person who has a cure using natural herbs, but he is scared that he may get knock-off. If he has a cure, who should he go to or talk with?

he should go to a doctor.
2 :
A cure?! There would be very few companies willing to take on a natural herb cure because they often make more money treating patients with methods that don't cure the diease but treat it over a period of time. Treatments for cancer include chemotherapy (kills all cells) and immunology (boost the immune system to fight cancer). The first step for your friend is to get a patent so even if he is killed the rights to the herbs will pass on to his family or who is to get in his will. After that he may sell patent, get job at company or produce himself. I hope the best of luck for your friend though the economic impact might be negative the postive effect on people will be worth it!!!
3 :
You can't patten or claim any naturally occurring substances - hence the only thing that will be promoted is a man made chemical that the pharmaceutical companies will gladly sell at a high price. So the answer to your question is - NO ONE. There are all sorts of claims on the Internet - your friend would be one more. Some of these sites offer their product for sale and make money that way. Sorry.

Unless there is evidence based documentation and clinical evidence about herbs, botanicals, or any other possible treatment . . than patients risk their health and life with unproven, ineffective, and wishful treatment. If this person is serious, than he should welcome validation. http://nccam.nih.gov/

Yes. Surgery. If all cancerous cells are able to be removed, you will be cured. The problem is usually that it is impossible to remove all cells. And radiation therapy and chemotherapy can be highly effective...even successful. Regardless, cancer as a whole is way to broad. There are hundreds of different kinds of cancer. Treatment efficacy depends on what kind of cancer and what stage it has reached when treatment starts. It is highly unlikely that one natural herb will cure any form of cancer. If you really really really want to use alternative medicines, there is some support for the idea that Vitamin C is able to combat certain forms of cancer if given intravenously. Oral does not work...so do go out and try eating like a billion vitamin C supplements.
6 :
it's a scam
7 :
There are over 100 cures. 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 at http://dgwa1.fortunecity.com/body/cancer.html By 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.

My girlfriend and I are giving her cat zeolite. Someone told her that it was curing cancer in people. The guy who sells it got into trouble with the FDA so no longer makes that claim.

Is it possible to fight off cancer? Has anyone done it without ANY treatment whatsoever

Is it possible to fight off cancer? Has anyone done it without ANY treatment whatsoever?
I'm curious. I know this is a long shot, but I wonder what the odds are of someone miraculously having their immune system for whatever reason, actually attack the cancer more aggressively. Has anyone ever been diagnosed with cancer, accepted they were going to die..and magically just be rid of it after some time later, without treatment?

Realistically - I doubt that there is 100% cure for cancer altogether, but know from experience of my mom and relative of my friend that there is natural medication that can block cancer. For years. And person will be able to live normal life, as long as he takes this medication regularly (for different types of cancer different dosage, etc. and different in-between period, from 2 months to 1 year (in-between). It is ACD-2 Dorogov. You can read about it numerous forums in testimonials of real people who win over their cancer (blocked it).

Yes, technically you do it everyday.

If you deny the "Theory of Evolution" and discovered that you have cancer would you refuse treatment if it

If you deny the "Theory of Evolution" and discovered that you have cancer would you refuse treatment if it ...?
was based in evolutionary biology? Many cancer treatments are built upon this. Would you stand for your convictions and refuse such treatment? If not, why not? Thanks!

5 :
Evolution is not necessary for the implementation of any branch of medicine, or any other experimental science. Evolution is historical science, aka origins science, and, true or not, has no effect on experimental science in any way, shape, or form.
6 :
If I deny "Common Descent" and discovered that I have cancer, there isn't a treatment available that is based on "Common Descent."
7 :
That type of evolution is real and observable and those who deny Universal Common Descent and accept cancer treatment aren't denying the observable aspects of evolution, that is, cancer cells are hard to fight because they adapt quickly and fight off treatments. Medicine is anti-Evolution because we should just wait for natural selection to do it's thing and eventually when almost all of us die someone should eventually have an immunity toward that particular cancer. Remember folks, natural selection works to benefit not degrade and kill, so far all we see is degradation and lots of anti-Evolution intelligence meddling in order to save lives.

What is the treatment for nasal cancer

What is the treatment for nasal cancer?
I need to know how nasal cancer is treated for a project.
Cancer - 3 Answers



Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
Laser surgery, sub mucus resection, chemo.
2 :
There are treatments for all patients with cancer of the paranasal sinus and nasal cavity. Three kinds of treatment are used: Surgery (taking out the cancer). Radiation therapy (using high-dose x-rays or other high-energy rays to kill cancer cells). Chemotherapy (using drugs to kill cancer cells).
3 :
It varies according to the stage and extent but any nasal cavity cancer should include, as part of treatment, the care and support of the referring physician, an otolaryngologist, a medical oncologist, a pathologist, and a nurse. If radiation therapy is pursued, a radiation oncologist, radiation therapist, radiation nurse, radiation physicist, and a dosimetrist will also be involved. Treatment will also probably include a psychologist, nutritionist, social worker and chaplain. For nasal cancers, a reconstructive or plastic surgeon may be necessary for optimum cosmetic results after removal of a nasal tumor. If surgical removal of the eye is necessary, specialists in prosthetic eye replacement will be necessary as well. About 80% of nasal cancers have already metastacized by the time it's diagnosed and all nasal are regarded as aggressive. Nasal cancers include many different types of cancers. Tumors are treated with chemo or surgery alone and followed up with radiation therapy. If the tumor recurs, it may be treated with both or with an experimental and/or untried treatment. Of those who die, most die from brain invasion of the tumor. As you said, this is a project you're supposed to be working on, not us. A major portion of this is doing the research. Make sure my name is also on your paper. LOL!

How much does a standard ovarian cancer treatment cost at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas

just the chemo or the radiation if its given

You need to ask MD Anderson that question... But most likely an arm & leg...
2 :
Hi. Nobody here can answer this because there's no such thing as a standard treatment. A lot depends on where and how it has spread.
3 :
You can call or write them and ask. Here are their contact numbers. People come all the time from all over the world to be treated there. There will be no standard price but they can probably give you a projected range of potential costs. If you are coming from outside the US and paying cash you would probably pay quite a bit less than someone living here and paying via health insurance. Our health care system is funny that way. https://my.mdanderson.org/content/index.cfm?pld=000732C6-ABD3-1BE1-891A8302A07301D1
