if someone has cancer,is it good to know or not?

Question

some lumps in breast

Answer 1

Yes it is good to know because there are things out there that can help and are not scary. I know it is easy to avoid finding out because untill someone tells you that it is cancer, you can believe that it is not (and it might not be). It's like me and the dentist, if I don't go, I don't have any cavities, but if I go.....

Here is what I am going through right now, and just so you know a lot of the time my mom is still in denial so even if you find out you have cancer, it is ok to pretend you don't, as long as you are getting help, and here it doesn't feel like you have cancer.

I 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, which allows your body to identify and fight the cancer. 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.

My 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.

I 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.

The 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.

US doctors push chemo and radiation, but when you look at the statistics and side effects it is not a nice option for a lot of 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 without researching first. She was lucky (so far) the only long term side effect she has shown is short term memory loss.

The 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.

I 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.

Please whatever you do, go to the doctor first, and then if you have cancer research before you do anything else.... the doctors will push you into doing chemo, radiation or surgery immediately, but take atleast a couple of days to research.

Good luck!!

Even though a cancer diagnosis is the worst news possible to hear, you need to hear the facts in order to know what to do next. Your life may literally depend upon knowing the facts. I also feel that I would prefer the truth to imagining what is happening. I need to know.

Everytime my son has a CT (every 2-3 months) we go through the same agony . . . what will the scans show . . no cancer, some cancer, or widespred cancer. It's agony, but we need to know in order to determine what type of treatment to take and how to fight or whether to fight or not.

The way we get through it is to take each day at a time, and to not worry about something until it actually shows up. There will be plenty of time to worry than.

Good luck. And, if you are talking about yourself, go see a doctor. Good news or bad news, one way or the other, you need answers.

Answer 4

Yes! If it's in the early stages, it can sometimes be treated with very low radiation/chemo; if the cell count is high in the area and the tissue is benign after letting a doc do a biopsy, you've escaped "the big C"....at least for the time. Have regular exams in all cancer/proned areas and complete physicals. These are the best prevenatives to safeguard against cancer and/or catch it early if it's detected.

Answer 5

I take it you mean yourself. I work in a chemo ward, so I know a bit. It's completely personal. I would like to know everything, but that's me. Some people prefer not to know at all, it's their way of coping with it. If you hav e breast lumps and havnt gone to see a doctor yet, I urge you to do so. Most breast lumps are benign, or caused by hormonal changes. Some women are more prone to lumpy breasts than others, but Go and find out what they are. NOW.The chances are they are harmless, but even if not, there is a very good chance that they are totally treatable in the early stages.

Answer 6

Yes it's good to know because early treatments can prevents the cancer from spreading throughout your body. With proper treat you can kill the cancer cells. And by knowing you can live your life to the fullest

Answer 7

I fought breast cancer most of this yr. & it is gone. Dear lady, I was told this, fear of cancer kills far more people then cancer does. Getting treatment as soon as possible really helps your chances. The vast majority of people survive cancer. Those lumps may not be cancer at all & you are worrying for nothing. Finding out is dam scary, believe me. The treatments no picnic but you can & will get through it. Please go for help & soon. Prayers for you.

Answer 8

I am a cancer survivor and had I known a lot sooner (the doctor I had totally missed it for a year), I wouldn't have lost my larynx.

So it's better to know because the "cure" rate goes up the sooner they catch it.

Answer 9

God yes! The sooner you know the better...get it treated.
And don't think this is the end of your life...or this will mess up your life.
Thinking positive is not only good for you mentally, but lso physically. If you want to survive more, want to fight, you WILL get through it, no doubt at all.

Answer 10

ofcourse it's good to know...believe me it's the worst thing to happen is when everyone around u knows what's wrong with u except u
