small cell cancer?

Question

Just want to tell everybody that knows someone with this Cancer to just always have Hope. My mom was diagnosed with Small Cell last week, she went to the Oncologist and was told that she is Curable. I am so happy right now. She got very lucky because she had ammunia and the doctors found it before it barely even started. She only has one bad cell in her right lung that is localized. She starts Chemo next week for 3 months she doesn't even need the radiation. So everyone keep your head up and pray for the best. As I know my mom wil be with us. Thank God

Answer 1

I am very happy to hear about your mother. That is great news. I am a clinical cancer researcher and I have seen a great deal of people with small cell lung cancer that caught it too late after it had metastasized or spread too far within the lungs. Small cell is one of the hardest to treat so I'm glad that your mother's prognosis is good. It's surprising when someone says Pneumonia was a good thing but in her case, it was! Awesome. I'm glad her chances of remission are high. Great news! I'll keep you, her and your family in my prayers ;)

Not a scientist, are ya tj (responder below)? Bet you are liberal though ;) You find me www.pubmed.com journals on this "theory" and I will work towards believing...until then your response has no scientific credibility.

Answer 2

I am thrilled for you and your mom that you caught it early enough. One word of caution though, talk to her oncologist about doing brain radiation after her chemo treatments.
My mother had oat cell carcinoma and was in full remission but she kept putting off having the recommended radiation on her brain to kill any stray cancer cells until after Christmas and she was gone before Valentines Day. It's just a pre-caution that some oncologists don't recommend and I wish my mother would have listened. It's not painful but it will make her hair fall out.

Answer 3

New adjunct chemo therapy tested for approval in the USA.

Increased the ability of patients to tolerate Chemo to the full 100%
Increased the Survival rate by 80%

They are accepting some patients under FDA Fast Track SPA Phase III in the USA.

Novelos' pipeline of drugs is based on oxidized glutathione, a natural metabolite that is part of the glutathione pathway. This pathway is the primary determinant of intracellular redox (oxidation/reduction) potential and, as such, plays a key role in cell protection (e.g. detoxification) and in regulation of cell signaling pathways (e.g. leading to cytokine production). Novelos’ lead products are believed to act, in part, via post-translational modification (glutathionylation) of critical regulatory proteins that mediate processes including immune function, cell proliferation and tumor progression (in combination with chemotherapy). They may also sensitize tumor cells to certain chemotherapeutic drugs by modifying drug detoxification processes.

Technically all cancer is curable.

"After twenty years of research and therapy with over 31,000 patients, Dr. Hamer finally established firmly, logically and empirically how biological conflict-shock results in a cold cancerous or necrotic phase and how, if the conflict is resolved, the cancerous or necrotic process is reversed to repair the damage and return the individual to health."

Not to be alarmist or anything but chemo tends to destroy the body's natural immune system to the detriment of the patient and to the financial benefit of the medical practitioners and pharmaceutical companies.

"As a physician who developed cancer herself, Dr. Lorraine Day was well aware that physicians are more afraid of cancer than patients are, because doctors KNOW that chemotherapy, radiation and surgery are NOT the answer to cancer."

For the benefit of our cancer researching friend:
"Metastases do not exist either. There are cancers and cancer-equivalent developments obeying the same rule, all as associations of HH’s with their corresponding organ developments. There is in fact no mechanism for cancer cells to travel from one part of the body to another, nor any way of explaining how one cancer in one tissue learns to mutate and produce the exact correct, histologically different development appropriate to another tissue. As every oncologist knows, each organ, tissue, layer or cell group shows very specific types of growths, necroses or ulcerations, because they are histologically quite distinct. The travelling cell theory would not be able to explain the precise changes needed to account for each separate incident.

Since some of the supposed "metastases" appear locally in the vicinity of an amputated breast, it was commonly thought (working hypothesis) that cancerous cells must have somehow migrated to the new location. These local foci were designated as "proximal metastases". If the corresponding HH is found in the brain, it was supposed that the "malignant cells" had travelled via the (arterial) blood to the brain. These were called "distant metastases". These hypotheses became dogma in spite of the fact that there has never been a single observation of cancerous cells in the arterial blood stream. "

You have the chemo wrong but I cannot find a similar spelling. Good summary of small cell in links below.
