yeah, there is a good chance that you can cure cancer. to me, anything is possible. you just have to hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

I think we do have a cure for cancer, but people are soo greedy for money that they don't put it out. Cuz like...a cure would be a one time treatment, but to slow down symptoms like we do now, you need to continuously keep buying medicines and stuff. So in the long run, they make more money that way.

Claims about what will kill cancer are a dime a dozen. Many things kill cancer in a test tube or in mice but not when used in humans. Cancer is a very crafty disease. Vitamins won't kill cancer although a diet high in certain vitamins might somewhat reduce your chances from being diagnosed with certain types of cancer. The scientific jury is still out on how much of a factor vitamins play, but it is probably much less than factors like smoking or alcohol intake.\n\nSomething else to remember. Many cancers are curable if caught very early, but if you mess around trying to find a non-toxic or vitamin cure, you are wasting precious time and your window of opportunity for achieving a cure is getting smaller each day you waste without proper treatment.

It depends on several factors.  In general though, prostate cancer is a slow growing cancer.  Most men will die of other causes before dying of prostate cancer (I stress again generally).  If it is a localzed cancer, cure rates are excellent with either radiation or surgery.  If it has spread outside the prostate, it really depends on where it has spread.  If only locally outside the prostate or in the pelvic lymph nodes, then cures can be possible with radiation +/- hormones.  If it has spread distally, such as to the bones, then cure is unlikely, but controllable with hormones or chemotherapy.  Hope this helps.

Cancer is a whole body thing - not just one type of cancer in one place. The problem with the current system of medicine is that it treats symptoms only, and never considers the cause. If you have cancer, your whole body has it, although it may show in only one place.\nThe solution is to go for a holistic cure, of which about 100 are available,\nThey are not publicised by the cancer industry, because there is no money to be made. For the same reason, they are not approved by the FDA, so even if doctors do know about them, they are not allowed to recommend them.\n\nFor a detailed report on this subject, and some holistic cures, see\n\nhttp://dgwa1.fortunecity.com/body/cancer.html

Sometimes treatment doesnt work. It didnt work on my dad, he passed away because of lung cancer.  But it did work for my mom, that is a breast cancer survivor.  So it's not up to us or the doctors who are the lucky ones that get to live.

The hospital will recommend the best course of treatment. Depends on where, how invasive the cancer is.  Chemotherapy and radiotherapy are the best way to combat the disease, along with positive thinking and eating healthy.

I've seen people who did everything right die quite quickly from cancer. I also knew an old coot with stage 4 lymphoma who drank a quart of bourbon every day and only did minimal treatment for the lymphoma. Considering everything, he did real well for 3 years even with the stage 4 lymphoma until finally he also developed liver cancer and passed away soon after.\n\nAs for secret cures, vitamins, herbs or treatments for cancer - there are none, but is is very easy to find someone who doesn't have cancer willing to sell you some false hope. For example, Hulda Clark author of Cure for all Cancers. sounds good until you critically read her book. Just because you say you have cancer doesn't make it true and just because you claim you cured it doesn't make it true, even if you are able to convince thousands of people to buy your book.

Yes.\nIn fact its vest to refuse treatment from the mainstream meducal profession, and seek an alternative treatment. There are many cures available.\n\nRead this report.\n\n\nhttp://dgwa1.fortunecity.com/body/cancer.html

Bless your heart, my friend, I don't know why your mother got cancer.  I didn't know her.  Maybe it was her lifestyle, maybe it was exposure to a carcinogen, maybe it was just rotten luck and unfortunate genes.   I am truly sorry it happened.  We can't cure cancer yet but if it's caught in time we can kill it or remove it.   I'm a nurse and I've dedicated my life to dealing with disease, the living and the dying.  Perhaps you'll want to dedicate your life to finding a real cure for cancer.  That would be worthwhile.

Cancer is not one disease, but many different diseases with different causes. For that reason, one breakthrough "cure for cancer" is probably not likely to come along.

If we had a cure for cancer, we would be famous and people would not be dying. However, fruits & vegetables with antioxidants help prevent cancer. Drinking water and avoiding carcinogenic factors is the best.

Treatment can be very cheap, or even free.\n\nhttp://dgwa1.fortunecity.com/body/cancercure-dandelion.htm

Depends on what you mean by "beating" HIV or cancer. Survival past 5 years? At present there is NO cure for HIV/AIDS. Cancer is not one disease process. If you mean survival, in the United States, because of our healthcare structure (or even places like sub-saharan Africa) money unfortunately is a factor. Anti-viral medications are expensive, as are prolonged hospital stays, and these have been known to be a burden on personal finances, even with health insurance. \n\nIn poorer parts of the world, if you cannot afford medication or doctors fees, you don't get it. Period. I think this is more of an access to healthcare answer.
