I have researched something called DMSO. My grandmother has cancer also, and she is not doing very well, but at this point she won't take DMSO, she is stubborn. Please research it and get her to try it. I really believe it will help!!

Omigosh...I am from Jamaica and I am shocked to even think you thought we are that backwards. Listen......Listen.....LISTEN, we are as advanced as the USA. Most of our doctors are trained In England and they bring the latest practices to Jamaica and I dare say to the entire Caribbean. We do not vist bush doctors nor tend to our sick, if we are not trained to!. We have well equipped hospitals that do that for a fee, in some cases it's free. We consider illness an un-fortunate experience but confident that the right medications can take care of anything. So yes, we still go to work even though we may have cancer or even the flu! All employers supply their employees with a health card so that also encourages a visit to the doctor. Omigosh, we have a modern thriving health sector with qualified practioners of all categories, so we do not have to rely on alternate medicines...okay boss??? Welcome to the future!!

I am HIV+ , I live in Thailand now and I use a tea (called Revivo) made by the Tian Zi bio center in China. Actually close to Thailand and to Laos by the Mekong River. I have had fantastic results since I took Revivo. I also communicate with them often by email. Furthermore, they recently open a Tian Zi Tea House in Chiang Mai (Northern Thailand) where some of their products are available. You can also visit their clinic in China. But most importantly, whatever your health problems are, just have a look at their beautiful website. Under Herbal Medicines you will find a vast range of natural products.\n\nwww.natureproducts.net\n\nAnd that's My Best Answer for you!

I know how you feel. I didn't know what to do when I found out about my mothers cancer. I was very busy and did not spend enough time with her as well. I now appreciate the quality time I spend with loved ones more than ever. Thankfully I have found something to help my mother, I hope it can help you, too!\n\nI am currently in the Bahamas with my Mother who has Terminal Lung Cancer. There is a clinic here that has been in operation for over 30 years. We have been here for 4 of our 8 week stay, everyday is really neat. A lot of the patients stick around in the meeting room/ waiting room to visit, and share stories and catch up. There were 40 people all talking and laughing, talking about cancer and life, the returning patients talk about how bad their cancer was 4, 8, 10 even 18 years ago when they started coming to the clinic, the cancer that has since disappeared. There is nothing dangerous or foreign to the treatment, just building up your immune system in a very effective manner. If you want to know more contact me or go to www.immunemedicine.com I cannot tell you how impressed I am with what I have seen and how my Mother has already improved. I know one man who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, he skipped all US, conventional (poisonous, dangerous) options and went to the Bahamas and is doing great now. Another man who has been coming here for 18 years that had prostate cancer. People with just about every type of cancer. But, they are honest here, you send them your medical information and they will tell you whether they believe they can help you or not, and they will send you home if they don't think you are benefiting. \n\nMy mom has shown drastic improvements and is feeling so much better. and we are in the Bahamas so we are having a good Mother-Daughter vacation.\n\nI have also done a lot of research on the Cesium Chloride/DMSO treatment and think that it has merit and you can do it at home.\n\nThe clinic here believes that a supplement/liquid called VIBE works really well in addition to other treatments, I am going to look in to that some more.\n\nUS doctors push chemo and radiation, but when you look at the statistics and side effects it is not a good option for most people. My Mom had both before we came here and now that I know more about them and have researched them I feel horrible that I let her go through them. She was lucky (so far) the only long term side effect she has shown is short term memory loss. \n\nThe stories I have heard from the other patients here about how they were treated by US medicine astound me. One lady went home to have a shunt put in her liver so she would be ok to come here, but they refused to put it in unless she agreed to do chemotherapy, is that what our country is about? Denying helpful procedures unless we agree to dangerous, toxic ones? The drug companies run US medicine at least when it comes to cancer treatment and it is sad. Most doctors will tell you not to try alternative medicine and some will refuse to even see you again if you do. To some degree they are not to blame, they have not been taught anything about it other than that it is evil and wrong and they would be rejected by their colleagues if they suggested alternatives.\n\nI would also like to tell you about another lady staying at the house we are staying at, she is 86 years old and has breast cancer. She arrived at the clinic the same day we did and is doing very well. Her immune system continues to improve and she gained 2 pounds since last week. She is absolutely thrilled with this treatment and knows that it is helping her.\n\nPlease whatever you do, research first. \n\nOne very helpful website is www.cancertutor.com\n\nGood luck!!

My father used insulin from pork (we are Jewish) that was all that was available for him at the time.  He was okay with it.  I am a type 1 diabetic and I would if I had to, but my current insulin's do not come from pork.  There are 3 different types of Jews, reform (what I am) Conservative, and Orthodox.  The Orthodox are the extreme ones and would more then likely compromise their health before taking any medications with pork product.

I was diagnosed with cancer of the larynx in the final stages but refused to have my vocal cords removed creating somewhat a delemia with my treating doctor. I was hell bent on saving my voice. After double the dosage of radiation ( enough to kill a perso ) by error and chemo alongwith the same, my cancer came under control. This was in April 2000. The side effects of the radiation have left some scars that will always remain with me - I developed a fistula between my air and food passage making it impossible for me to eat or drink any thing. Even breathing became a problem and an emergency tracheostomy had to be done. The doctors felt that the fistula should be left alone as they normally heal by themselves but not in my case! The overdose had taken its toll. Meanwhile,as I could not eat anything - a peg ( feeding) tube was inserted into my stomach which ment no solids and only liquids. My wife and mother fomulated some really high protien and energy feeds that kept adding to my weight that I had lost and got me back to where I was.\nIts now been five and half years since I last even had a drop of water orally and everything is fed through the peg tube - either by pouring it down , if its totally liquid or by pushing it through the tube as in the form of an injection. I have been told that my fistulas will never heal by themselves and that means I am stuck with a stoma ( not permanent ) and a tube in my stomach - waiting for another miracle. The doctors were / are quite sure my air and food passage can be reconstructed by skin grafting but that would have to be done in phases and that in turn means spending time in the hospital. I have had enough of hospitals and decided to live my life out with the stoma ( for which I created an orator and can speak normally, hands free ) and as I have got pretty used to the peg tube it does not bother me anymore.\nI still carry on with my job as I did pre cancer. I have added a personel gym next to my office where I work out for an hour every evening and go for a four kilometre run/jog every morning. \nI look forward to a new day every day with a lot of positiveness and find myself getting closer to my two teenaged sons and falling in love with my wife all over again. I am no longer the worklaholic that I once was and take time off to be with my family. I have cut down on my travelling at the drop of a hat and rather have someone else do it. I have adopted 25 kids of who some are terminal. I make sure they receive all their medicines, hospital expenses, food and lodging at my expense. I also ensure that they receive a good deal of financial aid as all these kids come from families that cannot afford even one meal a day - let alone three that we all have.\nWell I dont know how long I have left and even though I have been declared cancer free - one never is. I want  lead a full life like I have always led - king size. I have no regrets and no complaints against the cancer. I was chosen to get it- I fought it and am alive for my  sons and wife. I can also relate to others who have /are going through this illness and I think this makes my life complete. Cancer is a teacher of sorts and if you pick up the valuable lessons it teaches you - you can fight it and reap all the benefits of life from it. Benefits that you would never have considered had you not been the chosen one.\nI dont know if this makes any sense - but then each one has/her opinionand I chose cancer as a techer.

It depends on how far the cancer has spread, among other things. My husband was diagnosed March 20th He went thru radiation chemo gamma knife procedure and took a drug called tarceva. He passed June 6th. By the way, he had no symptoms and by the time it was diagnosed it was everywhere. One more thing, if it is terminal, let her smoke the damage is done and if she enjoys it so be it. Good luck

I take Arimedex.I have an aratic heart beat.I take coragord for it and I`m fine.My doc told me that I couldn`t take Tomoxine because of that and so she prescriped arimedex.I was also told that there hadn`tbeen enough study on my type of case to see if taking any type of pill would help my type of cancer.It wasn`t estregon related  and only one percent progestone.My Radioligist said that it would be guess work and didn`t think I would have to take cemo at all.Now that I see this when I go see my doctor in two weeks I will ask about heart side effects.Thanks for asking question

According to the website below, 1-2% of pancreatic tumors are benign, but there is the potential that they will eventually become malignant.\n\nhttp://www.information-on-pancreatic-cancer.com/html/benign-pancreatic-tumors.php3\n\nPersonally I do not recall running across any charts of patients with a benign pancreatic tumor when I was at the hospital.  After reading that website, I think you can figure out why.  Most of the time pancreatic cancer is not detected until it is very severe.  85% of the cases of pancreatic tumors are of the adenocarcinoma type, which have a much smaller chance of survival.  I don't mean to be pessimistic, but in the past, the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer has been pretty much a death sentence.  I think nowadays that has been improved a little bit, but I think most of the time, it is still the case.  I would imagine that discovery of benign tumors would most likely be incidental/serendipitous discoveries since they are not symptomatic.\n\nAs for tumor size and location an indication that cancer is present--I am not sure what you are really asking.  Again, most often cancers of the pancreas are discovered as a metastasis in a different part of the body.  Obviously the larger the size of a tumor, the more serious the cancer is and the less likely the recovery.  There are different locations that the cancer of the pancreas can originate (head versus tail) and I am sure they have different treatment and survival rates.  You can probably get some more answers from the same website.\n\nI hope no one that you know has pancreatic cancer but I suppose that is not the case, or you wouldn't be asking.  Good luck.

Let me begin by saying that I commend you on your efforts to continue your education and not let diabetes stop you. I am 24 years old and finishing up my MA in English, so you are not alone. I completely relate to your situation, although I am not currently insulin-dependant. \n\nThere are new treatments out there. The new isulin inhaler should be on the market in just a matter of months .. sometime this summer and that would be one option. An insulin pump would also be a great option for you if you are up to 3 injections daily. This way, your sticks are greatly reduced. \n\nI am not sure about the pancreas transplant issue, but I have heard of islet cells being transplanted. I would recommend doing your own research on this. Consult with the ADA and see what you can find out there. I think these things are still pretty experimental for the most part. \n\nAs for other organizations that can help you with your expenses / treatment, etc., consider consulting your local health department. I work for a health department diabetes program and I am sure there is a similar program in your area. You can probably access free diabetes education resources and even get some help with meds. \n\nGood luck and best wishes.. I hope everything works out for you in your education and otherwise.

I don't know if it is available in the middle east, but it is currently available in Europe and Canada.  \n\nI learned about this drug at a conference, the information was buried in a two hour talk by the NIH representative.  (I am surprised I was actually paying attention rather than snoozing).  This appears to be one of the safest drugs to come along in quite a while.  She wasn't trying to sell it or advertise it, but was showing boring graphs and charts, and scientifically discussing the clinical trial results.   Interesting side effects profile, most of the "side effects" are quite beneficial, such as lowering the bad cholesterol levels, reversing some of the symptoms of insulin resistance.  \n\nI have no need for the drug, but was so impressed, I am planning on investing a substantial amount into the company by the end of this year.  It is due to be released for use in the USA in 2007.\n\nBy the way, what would you be using it for?  It has several recommended uses.

hey there, \ni am a pharma rep.  I havent sold that particular drug but it is a good one.  I have taken it before.  It is great for ulcers and bad acid reflux or heart burn.  it is a strong drug, but little to no serious side effects that you should worry about.  talk to your doctor if you are worried.  \n\noh, and here in canada it is the most expensive drug in its class.  There are just effective.... and cheeper drugs avail.\n\nhope that helps
