We do share your anger and we will only put closure on our father’s passing away once doctors know there are metastatic liver cancer survivors. Just imagine: your doctor was the pharaoh’s doctor: if the pharaoh dies, the doctor would be killed and buried next to him… How much effort do you think this kind of doctor would put into finding a cure? For sure he wouldn’t dare to act like your dad’s oncologist: I went through the trouble of downloading all of the information for my dad’s oncologist but he was not receptive to reading it as he claimed he was too busy. To cure a person with secondary liver cancer, we repeat: you have to do everything right. Obviously you are a far cry away from "everything" when you do...

Erbitux isn’t chemotherapy but in stead are antibodies helping your body to fight the cancer. Pretty logical approach to cure cancer: not using a poisonous chemotherapy in the hope to kill the cancer without killing the person buy making sure your body has an extra advantage in fighting the cancer by "adding antibodies". What is Erbitux? Erbitux is a mouse/human monoclonal antibody – monoclonal meaning all of them are cloned or made originating from the same cell. It is an epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor and given by intravenous infusion for treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer and Erbitux is also known to treat head and neck cancer. Jim’s son is now t...

How to treat metastatic liver cancer?   First and foremost you need to believe you can cure your cancer, as much as you believe that the sun will rise tomorrow.   Unfortunately your doctors will advice you not to cure the cancer because in their experience they never met any metastatic liver cancer survivor, nor is there any known ‘fast lane’ cancer treatment to cure secondary cancer. ...

His is still on Oxalyplatin and Xeloda; therefore he is still with us, and in good spirits even though he has his ‘down’ days about one week after the intravenous colon cancer treatment.   We found out the other day that he is still in stage IV but the cancer is not advancing and the oncologist said on Monday that he is surprised at his condition considering the severity of the illness.

Please leave a comment with a hug or share your experience so Nicole doesn’t have to go this road on her own.   Stage iv cancer | Cancer survival | Terminal cancer   Know the fundamental differences between stage 4 cancer, cancer survival and terminal cancer:   Stage iv cancer is a cancer that has spread to other organs.

Please share your experience like we share ours.   Small cell lung cancer prognosis and secondary liver cancer   As far as I have experienced: as soon as doctors and oncologists hear "secondary liver cancer", they reason that:   "with a normal effort" there is no cancer treatment.   We stress "with normal effort". With a huge extra effort and doing everything right, our few secondary cancer survivors are living proof that you can survive secondary liver cancer much longer than the prognosis done in your hospital.   If you want to go the "do everything rig...

Her sister went to a hospital specialized in cancer yet Heather never mentions that the hospital found any advanced breast cancer stages.   Only when her sister got re-admitted in the ER, Heather talks about the cancer having spread to the liver.   Does this mean that when people get admitted to hospital looking yellow and having a history of cancer, nobody bot...

Nicole’s father passed away with lung cancer but she keeps on dropping by for the support she gets from other cancer stories.   That’s why we ask you all: leave a comment and participate: it’s always easier to walk the path with other who have been there.     Do miracles happen when you pray?   When you believe that Jesus came back from the death, then it’s easy to believe that cancer patients can be cured. But I admit miracles don’t happen much.   Liver cancer patient Magalie Hall, author of My Victory over Cancer emphasizes forgiveness and the power of prayer, just like all our other metastatic liver cancer survivors believe:   they believe there is a cure or   ...

Some sources say he has quit fighting the cancer as he has given up with the various chemotherapies.   Other sources say Patrick Swayze just underwent CyberKnife radiosurgery: surgery performed by a robot which allows radiation energy to be directed at any part of the body from any direction.   Patrick Swayze was feeling a constant weakness earlier last year which was the reason for his check up which diagnosed him with pancreatic cancer. This particular strike of cancer is known to be deadly as it is one of the lethal forms of the disease in total as sources record.   Reports say that the 56-year old super star actor has told his wife Lisa, that he doesn’t feel he will live long and his latest mov...

Some take the ruse so far as to make the symptoms look real, shaving their head and such. Once the deception is revealed, people are often very angry and resentful. I took part in a women’s forum a few years ago when this actually happened. A woman started posting that she had lung cancer and went as far as to chronicle her treatment and the lack of progress in stopping the disease. As women began to get to know her, they began offering not only a shoulder to lean on, some became involved in helping her in other ways, including having her stay in their home while supposedly waiting for more treatment.

But, as life takes us through its twists and turns, not as many who say they’ll be doctors actually become them. And then there are the special ones. There’s a great story over at ctv.ca, about a doctor who treated a 12-year-old for cancer, replacing cancerous bone in the knee with a prosthetic knee. Now, several years later, this patient, 28-year-old Trevor Banka, MD, is a second year resident (training period after you get your medical degree), specializing in oncology, just like his mentor, Michael Mott, MD. You can read about this story in the article, Doctor, former patient now colleagues in Detroit. ~~~~ Tags: cancer blog, oncology Share This (Source:...

They see if a hospital doesn’t have enough pillows for the beds or enough straws that can bend. Several years ago, there was a young girl in Montreal who had to undergo treatments at the Montreal Children’s Hospital, where she found that they only had straight straws, not the kind that bent. This was because of budgets, one would think. So, when she was finished her treatment, she made it her mission to raise money to buy straws that could bend, making it easier for children to drink while lying down or reclining. A similar story came out of North Dakota, where a 3-year-old was battling leukemia. Now in remission, his family is saying thank you with hats: A young cancer patient&#821...

Glen’s Liver Cancer story Thank you for sharing your story. My mom, aged 71, has been diagnosed as having HHC (Hepatocellular Carcinoma) in April 08. Her MRI indicated multiple Metastasis in her liver (innumerable large and small tumors). Sounds like father’s diagnosis: lots of words we heard for the first time and when we saw the picture of his liver it became all clear to us: innumerable small tumors scattered in his liver… Her blood tests indicated elevated Alpha Fetoprotein, and her history of chronic Hepatitis added to the diagnosis of liver tumor.

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...

We searched the Internet for any cure, we found a few "promising treatments", but : they were extremely expensive, a long waiting list and not at all nearby they were promising because you tend to hold on believing in miracles they were all quite useless in our case because the doctors couldn’t find father’s primary cancer.
