Is there any pill to take to shrink a brain tumor?

Certain steroids can help shrink tumors, but they can produce some other side affects.  Talk to your doc about the possibility of a short, strong course.  They will know your full medical situation and be able to determine if it will work for you.  \n\nMy father was given steroids and it did help reduce the swelling of his tumor.

They say to use it or lose it. Make your mind work by doing crossword puzzles, playing memory games, etc.  If that doesn't work, try the herb ginko biloba. That is supposed to help, but it takes a few weeks. So be patient.

Standard of care in that situation would be oral steroids (Decadron in pill form along with a medication to block acid secretions in the stomach) and a brief course of whole-brain radiotherapy... unless she is otherwise in such poor condition aside from the brain lesions that they suggest not doing the radiation.\n\nThe textbook answer on median survival (50% still alive) would be:\n\n1 month with no treatment.\n\n2 months with steroids\n\n6 months with whole-brain radiotherapy.\n\nAloha

Please listen to me as I am only here to help. You have to do exactly as I say. Go to the website and look up CESIUM CHLORIDE AND OXYGEN DROPS. The other ones could be green algae and paw paw, etc etc. These medicines are known in the medical field, but they dont talk about it. Because these are natural remedies with no toxic chemicals in it. So, thats why they cant profit from it. If they cant profit, they dont sell. I mean, some are even made of mushrooms that you can grow anywhere. Why would they promote this? These doctors will never make money. So, the FDA has put a restriction on these remedies. They cannot say anything about cancer on their labels. They have to be sold as vitamins or health products. But, the website can tell you how to use it, and what cancers it can cure. See how they are suppressing the world? In fact these treatments can cure up to 90% of patients that doctors have already given up on. Chemo therapy is not a therapy. I would rather die then go through with that. They try to kill your cancer with chemicals and radiation. If they kill all your cancer before they kill all your body cells, then they consider you cured. But, what about after that? Your body is damaged and your health deteriorated. There is almost no recovery to this. How many people you know live past 5 years after chemo therapy? Not much if any at all. And compared to the masses, its almost nothing. What do you have to live with after chemo? Your body is not sunburned, its practically microwaved. CESIUM CHLORIDE can be taken with OXYGEN DROPS. Go to the websites. You can go to these websites and they will give a whole package for you to buy. You can take these medicines over the course of 3 months, a year, or whatever they prescribe. After your mom is feeling well, taking it for about 2 months or more, you can almost garauntee that you are cured. But, you have to listen to them and take it till they tell you to stop. They even cure certain 3rd stage cancers with a 90% success rate. But, time is of the essence so I urge you to buy it as soon as possible and take next day delivery or something. I wish you the best of luck in the future. But, heed my warning, do not go into chemo. They always tell you something fuzzy like, oh..you might live another 2 years, or you might die right away..etc etc....Then how do you decide? But, they always say that people who have been on chemo will only live a maximum of X years after that.  So, if you do exactly what I say, not only will you have a chance to survive, but all your friends that may get cancer...

I believe there are pills you can take. You should talk to your doctor about it.

Yes, I took Decadron during brain cancer. When I was on it, I could never fall asleep when I wanted. It kept me awake and gave me more energy. Then when I got off it, I was so tired. [Like cancer patiants should be.] She might just be tired because cancer takes a lot out of people. You can try to get her to eat and drink more healthy sugers [ like juices and fruits] and protein. [Almonds are very good for cancer. ] To give her energy. But I think it's normal. You can also try to get her up and about more, and to stay social with people. [I thought family and friends were a good energy boost] Take care.

It depends on the type of tumor, her spirit and her Dr's. My wife suffered from a Glioblastoma Multiforme, a Grade IV tumor. Many Dr's continue to use the same treatments that were available in the 70's. If they did not work then, they do not work now.\n\nYour friend should immediately try to get in touch with someone from the Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center at Duke, they are considered the best in the world and have saved my wife's life.\n\nhttp://cancer.duke.edu/btc/\nhttp://cancer.duke.edu/btc/Treatment/PatientReferralInfo.asp

If regular cold medicine hasn't worked, they have a product called "Little Noses".  It has a small amount of medication that will actually shrink the tissues in the nasal cavity.  My pediatrician recommended it to me for my infant daughter, and said it was perfectly safe to use when you follow the directions.

The most common symptoms include headaches, which can be most severe in the morning; nausea or vomiting, which can be most severe in the morning; seizures or convulsions; difficulty thinking, speaking, or finding words; personality changes; weakness or paralysis in one part or one side of the body; loss of balance; vision changes; confusion and disorientation; and memory loss. Different parts of the brain control different functions, so symptoms will vary depending on the tumor’s location. \n\nWhile these are the most common symptoms of a brain tumor, they can also indicate other medical problems. If you are having any of these symptoms, it is important to see your doctor and get a definitive diagnosis.\n\nHey Lady!\nTry fol linx, u'll find many things of ur interest.\n\n\n{When ever u need to know about some thing write its name in any search engine and press enter...........}

For brain exercises you should play lots of strategy and puzzle games like crosswords, word jumble, word riddles, math games.  You may want to consider a B-complex vitamin that contains things that good for brain nerve cells.  Just take the recommended dosage- and do some exercises and some sort of silent, timeout activity like meditation, that relaxes your mind and body.

There are non-cancerous tumors. They are just tissue that starts to grow in an inconvenient place. A friend of mine had one in his spine and it cost him his ability to walk because it put so much pressure on the spinal nerves (as it grew there was no room for it inside the spine any more.) It is probably a good idea to have it removed it it keeps growing or if it interferes with other organs or tissues.

i am sorry about ur grief. i will try my best to give the best information i can. but u wouldnt mind if its long enough? do u?\nA brain tumor is any intracranial mass created by an abnormal and uncontrolled growth of cells either normally found in the brain itself: neurons, glial cells (astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, ependymal cells), lymphatic tissue, blood vessels), in the cranial nerves (myelin-producing Schwann cells), in the brain envelopes (meninges), skull, pituitary and pineal gland, or spread from cancers primarily located in other organs (metastatic tumors).\n\nPrimary (true) brain tumors are commonly located in the posterior cranial fossa in children and in the anterior two-thirds of the cerebral hemispheres in adults, although they can affect any part of the brain.\n\nIn the United States in the year 2000, it was estimated that there were 16,500 new cases of brain tumors[1], which accounted for 1.4% of all cancers, 2.4% of all cancer deaths[2], and 20%–25% of pediatric cancers[2],[3]. Ultimately, it is estimated that there are 13,000 deaths/year as a result of brain tumors[1].\n\nAside from exposure to vinyl chloride or ionizing radiation, there are no known environmental factors associated with brain tumors. Mutations and deletions of so-called tumor supressor genes are incriminated in some forms of brain tumors. Patients with various inherited diseases, such as Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome, multiple endocrine neoplasia, neurofibromatosis type 2 are at high risk of developing brain tumors.In contrast to tumors originating elsewhere in the body, differentiating primary "brain tumors"—these are the true brain tumors, arising exclusively from cells normally present in the brain itself—into benign and malignant is of relative and limited clinical value, since even histologically-benign tumors grow by infiltration of healthy brain tissue and, in time, tend to transform into malignant forms (anaplastic degeneration). True benign intracranial tumors arise mainly from the meninges (meningiomas; about 95% are benign), pituitary gland (pituitary adenomas) and the myelin sheath of cranial nerves (neuromas or Schwanomas, e.g. acoustic neuroma).\n\nMost primary brain tumors (gliomas) originate from glia: astrocytes (astrocytomas), oligodendrocytes (oligodendrogliomas). There are also mixed forms, with both an astrocytic and an oligodendroglial cell component. These are called mixed gliomas or oligoastrocytomas. Additionally, mixed glio-neuronal tumors (tumors displaying a neuronal, as well as a glial component, e.g. gangliogliomas, disembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumors) and tumors originating from neuronal cells (e.g. gangliocytoma, central gangliocytoma) can also be encountered.\n\nOther varieties of primary brain tumors include: primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNET, e.g. medulloblastoma, medulloepithelioma, neuroblastoma, retinoblastoma, ependymoblastoma), tumors of the pineal parenchyma (e.g. pineocytoma, pineoblastoma), ependymal cell tumors, choroid plexus tumors, neuroepithelial tumors of uncertain origin (e.g. gliomatosis cerebri, astroblastoma), etc.\n\nFrom a histological perspective, astrocytomas, oligondedrogliomas, and oligoastrocytomas may be benign or malignant. Glioblastoma multiforme represents the most aggressive variety of malignant glioma. At the opposite end of the spectrum, there are so-called pilocytic astrocytomas, a distinct variety of astrocytic tumors. The majority of them are located in the posterior cranial fossa, affect mainly children and young adults, and have a clinically favorable course and prognosis.\n\nIn contrast to other types of cancer, primary brain tumors rarely metastasize, and in this rare event, the tumor cells spread within the skull and spinal canal through the cerebrospinal fluid, rather than via bloodstream to other organs.\n\nThere are various classification systems currently in use for primary brain tumors, the most common being the World Health Organization (W
