Think about it if you have eczema its difficult to cope with it, you get people staring at you. Put it this way my uncle had it worse than me and he went to Turkey to go in mud baths now its gone, im going on the 19th of this month and cant wait to try it , i just really hope it works this is my only wish in life, i am also going to try another option which i was advised on here and thats melaleuca. might work might not. Think i want to get myself like other people back with lovely skin. I hate me.

Recently, someone in my family said they had cervical cancer and was diagnosed 10 years ago. In the beginning, they said that the doctor performed a pap smear, and from this, diagnosed her with cervical cancer. He gave her 10 to 15 years to live and told her, "Live your life!". Apparently, in the 90's, their was no cure or even treatment for this form of cancer.

However, after researching cervical cancer, I discovered that cervical cancer was typiclly caused by HPV, that a bioapsy must be performed in order to even diagnose this form of cancer, there are treatments, it's curable, and doctors typically give people 5-years to live upon diagnosis.

I presented these facts to the person making this claim and was told that in the 90s there was no cure for this cancer...the terms she used to describe her diagnosis wasn't medical at all.

What are the symptoms of cervical cancer? Ways it is diagnosed and treated? Was it treatable in the 90s? How can someone survive for 10-years?

My brother is 26 and in good healt other than he has been diagnosed with R.A. He starts chemo for treatment (pills). What can he expect and how does this work. I would like to hear from someone who has been through it or has knowledge of it. I have had cancer and went through chemo but I know his experience will be different.
