Cancer

If so, no one told me this was a side affect. My hair is growing back from chemo so why isn't that affected or will it be also?

My aunt had a rare form of cancer which led her to a vegtible state for 2 months. She was in the intensive care unit where she was fed interveniously and recieving pure oxcygen. Her heart was continuing to beat. As long as her heart continued beating, my uncle wouldn't let them shut down the machines, despite a recommendation to do so by a Physician who had basically given up all hope of her comming out of the veg. state. Her heart then stopped and they recessitated her for half an hour. She was continually recieving pure oxcygen and the pressure on the chest was helping her blood flow since her heart had stopped. The Dr.s were going to stop recessitating her and tried once more and her heart started beating again. The cancer completely dissapeared and she is walking around healthy. The act of God was at work here but does pure oxcygen that the body was recieving, persistance from physicians, allow a persons heart to restart a clean slate, completely cured?

I received this information from a news letter that I get from one of my Primary Doctors anyone considering this please read this info about this vaccination.#Questions about Gardasil#This story was provided to us by a patient who knows this individual. The names have been changed, but the story remains the same.#Dear Friends,#I have had one hell of a day yesterday.#You might have heard of the new drug called Gardasil that was released last June. It is a vaccine that prevents cervical cancer. Most gyno's are having children 12 to 28 vaccinated with the vaccine as a preventive measure. Read all the side effects and talked it over with the doctor. He convinced her it was something she should do. It's done in three stages.#Today she went to the gyno for a check up and her first vaccine. An hour later we were in the emergency room. I got a call from the doctors office (fortunately I was home) and they said, an ambulance was on its way to take her to JFK Hospital. She survived.

I think it is because of the chemicals we are putting into food, candy, and gum, plus what we have in our bathing and washing soaps. Anyone else have some ideas?

Of course, there are other answers. Like exposure to too much sun : skin cancer, and smoking : lung cancer. But what about other cancers that perfectly healthy people can get?

I recently had a mole removed which turned out to be skin cancer-basal cell carcinoma-which doesn't normally spread. However, I am very young to have this type of cancer at just 22 and it puts me more at risk from other types of skin cancers. I'm very moley and my other moles are displaying symptoms of melonoma-i'm going to the docs first thing on monday to get them checked out.

i'm so scared and feel all alone, my bf split up with me and few weeks ago which just adds to the stress of everything. i can't stop worrying about it, any advice?
