Cancer

My uncle has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer found in liver, pancreas and lungs, but his oncologist told him that he can "cure" it within six months using chemotherapy. Is this true?

My mother is dying of cancer. Small cell lung cancer that has now spread to her brain. I was going to her house everyday and spending the night with her. We never got along and she mentally abused me all my life. She is all the family i have left. I had to stop staying there with her. I have a place with my girl friend.

For years I've read (and personally known) about benefits of chamomile. A year ago I read that it's being known to destroy turmors. It is also so potent that women throughout the ages have taken it to make their periods come down.

Similar to grapefruit it also interferes with certain drugs (medicines), including CANCER medicines, such as Etoposide, Paclitaxel. Vinblastine, and Vincristine. It should not be taken with blood-thinning medications, for it does precisely the same effect as these drugs.

Being this herb so potent, with such proven health benefits, why isn't science paying closer attention to it?

My mum is 58 and went for routine breast screening where something showed up. She went for various tests then we were told it is breast cancer. She is having an operation at 11.30 this morning to remove the cancer in her breast using the guidewire procedure and also having lymph nodes under her arm removed. We know she'll be having radiotherapy at some point. Other than that that's all we know. Does it sound like the prognosis is good? What can we expect next by way of treatment and how my mum will be physically?

My mom was diagnosed with advanced ovarian cancer in 1992. I was less than a year old. This means that she had the cancer in her body when she was pregnant with me. I have been told that this puts me at an even higher risk of developing the cancer. Is this true?


She died when I was two, so I can't ask her...

They say that baby bottles contain Bisphonal A a chemical linked to cancer. It's also in plastic sippy cups and in the lining of cans! I didn't know that one in four people are dying of cancer did you?

For more than four weeks I had an enlarged lymph node on one side of my neck and it doesn't hurt. It grew within those weeks and now it's disappearing. I'm safe rite? Do I need to still concern my doctor about this?

They said they found a tumor in my mom's breast and they did the ultrasound to determine it was a tumor and not a sisis. Now what's the next step? I know they need to determine if it's cancerous or not but where would she go for that. ?

My mother found out she has breast cancer. The one type of cancer that there is a cure for, unless you get to it way too late. She announces it to everyone she sees and has already quit her job when it is even necessary yet. She will be getting surgery soon to have the lump removed and doctors believe she has found it early enough. She has two friends that has already been through this who is living strong and happy lives and working in the school that she worked in. I do care and am very concerned, but I don't think we should all be moping around, with our heads down thinking that it is the end of her life or the end of the world. This may sound rude, selfish, cruel: but I think she is wanting too much pitty and to be babied. My father just went through cancer in three diferent areas in his body and it is now cured. He wanted no pitty he held in strong. Do you think I should feel sad, feel pitty, and mope around? Do you think I am cruel and don't care? How do you think I should feel?

I found a writeup from Dr. Dean Ornish at http://www.rd.com/content/dr-dean-ornish-column/ that says it was essentially useless/misleading because they didn't change their diet enough. It apparently muddied the waters even more because they concluded that a "low-fat diet does not cut health risks."

That's exactly the opposite of what Dr. Ornish found. He says on page 2 from data collected in their own controlled trials, "that the more people changed their diet and lifestyle, the more improvement we measured. In order to reverse disease, people needed to make much bigger changes than most doctors had been recommending. If you can reverse disease, then it's even easier to prevent it."

I believe this was in the October, 2007 issue of Reader's Digest.

I have very large breasts (38 I)and the other day I was giving myself my self exam, I found a lump. It's very close to the skin, and feels like one of those seed beads. I'm 26 years old. I'm just wondering, does cancer grow that close to the skin, and would it be that easily detected by me? I had my physical about 5 months ago, could it grow that fast? Last year my mom had lumps that weren't cancer, but had the potential of becoming cancer if they weren't removed. As far as I know, that's the only cancer scare that we've had in my family..Someone please help!!
