What happens when anti-vivisectionists get cancer? Do they refuse the treatment coz it was tested on animals?

vivisectionist never think of this, they always think that the life of a mice is more valueable than the live of thousands of people

Many women have this.  Precancerous cells mean that the cells are abnormal.  These cells may never turn into cancer but there is always a risk because of their abnormality.  THey will probably cut out the precancerous cells and you go back for a follow-up.  Then they will probably grow back and the whole process will be repeated until they decide to laser them out.  That finally got rid of them for me.  Then you should ALWAYS go for a yearly pap smear, ALWAYS!  P.S.  I am so sorry about the loss of your son.  My thoughts are with you.  I also had two healthy pregnancies following this procedure

I can't watch any more of that - it's making me sick. I don't agree with treating animals that way. However, I don't think that means we should not eat meat. It means that we should be treating the animals differently while they are alive and killing them in humane ways. The people that don't abide by that should be prosecuted. It's no different than someone who abuses their dog.

I know you will be worried, but it could be something as simple as an infection or to the most other extreme, cancer.  Whatever it is, you've done the right thing by going back so quickly so when you find out the doctors will have a far better chance of treating it, whatever the case!!  \n\nNurses won't normally give an opinion as to what might be wrong so they don't frighten people, so please DON'T be worried by this!!\n\nGood luck for when you get your results, I'll be thinking of you!

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.

You would need a biopsy to know.  Cancer will kill you, so find out.  Caught early enough, surgery can cure a cancer.

For years a debate has ensued over the practice of animal research and experimentation. The scientific community and animal rights activists have disagreed as to whether the benefits of animal research and experimentation are worth the pain and suffering that these experiments often cause to the animal subjects. Scientific advances have greatly reduced the number and severity of animal experiments that take place\n\nThere are  two main categories of animal experimentation and research, medical and cosmetic. \n\nMedical testing involves testing new drugs for their levels of toxicity and trying out new medical procedures. Animals are used to represent humans and human reactions in these tests in order to analyze the potential impacts of the drugs or procedures on humans\n\nCosmetic testing is use of  animals to test the risks involved with the use of certain cosmetics and household products. This type of experimentation predicts the irritation levels of these products and any dangers they may pose to humans\n\nWITHOUT ANIMAL RESEARCH:\n*60 MILLION PEOPLE MAY RISK DEATH FROM HEART ATTACK, STROKE, OR KIDNEY FAILURE FROM LACK OF MEDICATION TO CONTROL THEIR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE.\n*7,5000 NEWBORNS WHO CONTRACT JAUNDICE EACH YEAR WOULD DEVELOP CEREBRAL PALSY, NOW PREVENTABLE THROUGH PHOTO THERAPY. \n*POLIO WOULD KILL OR CRIPPLE THOUSANDS OF UNVACCINATED CHILDREN AND ADULTS THIS YEAR.\n*MILLIONS OF DOGS, CATS, AND OTHER PEYS AND FARM ANIMALS WOULD DIE FROM ANTHRAX, DISTEMPER, CANINE PARVOVIRUS, FELINE LEUKEMIA, RABIES AND MORE THAN 200 OTHER DISEASES NOW PREVENTABLE THANKS TO ANIMAL RESEACH.

if they stop the research then they'll be kicking themselves when they get an incurabe disease.\npeople will evolve regardless let the nutjobs be nutty

All mammals can get cancer so the beluga whale is no different. Cancer is when something goes wrong with cell division.

It is indeed a myth that sharks cannot get cancer, but their rather "simple" immune system works surprisingly well (think for example that sharks during mating bite - usually the male bites the female - leaving the partner with deep lacerations of up to two inches and five or six inches long, which after about two months have healed without any scarring).  One of the reasons we thought elasmobranchs (sharks, skates and rays) cannot get cancer was that we had never seen one that had.  But since then, sharks with tumors have been found and another myth was debunked.\n\nNow, in experiments elasmobranchs have shown tremendous resistence to toxins that would be highly cancerogenic in humans.  In the late 80s, Carl Luer of the Mote Marine Labs tested aflatoxin B1 on nurse sharks and found that they metabolized it differently from us (it is actually the metabolite we produce that gives us cancer).  In other words, a number of pro-cancerous substances in humans are not necessarily affecting elasmobranchs.

A lot like having a flu bug you cannot shake and general malaise.  When my cousin had it (age 6) she developed bruises that did not heal.  She had a test done on a Friday for the cancer with negative results, another on Monday and it was positive.  She is now 16 and in remission for years.  Good luck.

i had to have surgery to remove some abnormal cells but it didn't turn into full blown cancer. They got it just before it turned in to cancer.

Sure, don't hesitate, the longer it goes on the worse the treatment.  I have been through cancer 3 times, the cure is worse than the cold.  Get attention, even if you only suspect and have no symtoms.

natural selection would prevent that from happening.\n\nnaturally, those without cancer would have a much greater chance of surviving and reproducing.  those who have cancer, or are somehow "born" with it, are much less likely to survive and carry on their genes.

of course- if I was dying of a serious illness I'd want any medication that would help me- tested on animals or not. Its survival of the fittest, simple.

I don't know if I would say that it was a 'cure' for cancer; however, there are studies on various foods and drugs whose results (usually in laboratory mice/rat experiments) show that the animals using them show a lower 'rate' of acquiring the disease.\n\nI think some of this should be taken with a grain of salt when "publicized" by the general media, because there are probably several other factors involved that may skew the results.\n\nThere have also been 'reversals' in certain claims about food that people may have touted as being "good" or "bad" for you; I tend to think this may be due to how we adapt to them over time or perhaps the results from studies were possibly tainted or released too early.\n\nNevertheless, there will probably also be those individuals looking to make a quick buck by trying to cash in on the sale of chocolate; not just because it tastes good, but because of it's potential medical benefits.
