Meditation does it all! And is being embraced in practically every medical field. But what is it? I’m a bit of a slow learner, so even as I promised myself two years ago that I would start each day with 20 minutes of meditation, I am still thumbing through books trying to figure out how, exactly, you do it. I have learned much from Elisha Goldstein’s Psych Central blog, “Mindfulness and Psychotherapy.” Because I believe, on some level, that all forms of meditation are about creating space. And Elisha reminds his readers of that by continually repeating the mea...

The risk exists because the survivors tend to be more sedentary than the siblings. The study, done across medical centers in the United States and Canada, looked at over 20,000 childhood cancer survivors. From those 20,000 people, over 9000 survey responses were received and analyzed, and these were compared to almost 3000 responses from siblings. The researchers were looking for the type of lifestyle the survivors led compared with their siblings. According to this article, Childhood Cancer Survivors Exercise Less, Increasing Diabetes Risk, Cancer treatments such as crania...

Although you would think dying from liver failure is the logical outcome when a person is diagnosed with terminal liver cancer, father didn’t even have jaundice the day he died.   Janet summarizes what we all do when we hear our loved one has cancer:   I began playing doctor.   Then Janet asks herself how she could have missed her mom’s leg blockage being a cancer growing in there for 2 1/2 years…   This is the sad truth of our modern health system and not Janet’s error:   how can our so called modern healthcare body miss a cancer for 2 1/2 years?   Why did it take us and our father more than a year running from one hospital to another trying to find out what was wrong with him being nauseous?&...

Think about this when you clap for a cancer survivor on TV: you are watching the exception to the rule. Liver cancer survival rates are bottom low. Worldwide 7 % of the people diagnosed with liver cancer will be alive 5 years later. This means if you have a room with 14 people diagnosed with liver cancer, only 1 of them will be alive in 5 years.   13 of these 14 people won’t stand a chance to be aired on TV at Oprah, Dr Oz, Dr Drew…   Please Oprah: stop saying "how smart" Dr. Oz is. Have a look at what Dr. Oz doesn’t know.   If you can only save 1 person out of 14 liver cancer patients, then there is no reason to glorify the doctor’s knowledge… &nbsp...

Because when you detect cancer at an early stage, chances of having a successful treatment do exist. Sadly, primary bone cancer is relatively uncommon in comparison with secondary or metastatic bone cancer. And just like father’s metastatic liver cancer had an unknown primary, it seems that in a lot of cases the primary cancer is not yet recognized at the time when the early metastatic cancer in the bone becomes painful and people go see their doctor. Primary bone cancer Cancer that begins is the bone is called a primary bone cancer. But when you or your loved one has cancer, you will hear a lot of terms and it feels that "eve...

The small study found that 80 percent of patients experiences significant pain reduction and that the effect lasted upto to six months. 34 patients who had been unable to get relief from conventional pain therapies were involved in the study. All had different primary cancers, including renal cell, ovarian, colorectal, thyroid and melanoma and all had cancer which had spread to the bone. Doctors used CT imaging scanners to guide needle-like probes to the tumor w...

According to Matthew Callstrom, M.D., Ph.D., a radiologist at Mayo Clinic who presented his latest findings on cryoablation for pain management at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) annual meeting this week (Nov. 27): “Cancer patients are living longer and we need to be able to manage their pain over a long period of time. Two key parts of this study are that the reduction in pain lasts and their quality of life improves after receiving the treatment.” Find more details from Mayo Clinic.

The goal of the hormonal therapy is to reduce the levels of the male hormones, called androgens, in the body. The main androgen is testosterone. Androgens can stimulate prostate cells to grow and lowering the levels often makes prostate cancer cells shrink or grow more slowly. The Annals of Internal Medicine published an article that says Fosamax (alendronate) can prevent and even reverse bone loss associated with hormonal treatment for prostate cancer. A trial was conducted that showed after one year bone density had increased among patients treated with Fosamax but had decreased among patients who received a placebo. If you are receiving hor...
