My sister has Clear Cell cervical cancer. Had a hysterectomy,chemo, and radiation. Its been a couple months,?


and now it has spread. Is this a death sentence or is there a chance that she may survive? Please help.
----------

First of all, I want to say I am so sorry your sister has cancer. That must of been devastating for her and for you as her sister to hear. I can totally understand your worry, but please try not to. It is NOT a death sentence and can be turned around.

My son had leukemia and one of the things that really changed things around for him--even after going off of oral chemo--was to drastically change his diet. No more sugar or processed foods....he actually went to an all organic and raw food diet. Lots of fruits and vegtables and healthy foods since sugar fuels cancer cells.

There is also something called the Budwig Protocol that was invented by a German biochemist...Joanna Budwig... who was nominated for several nobel prizes for her discovery of helping people fight cancer and actually go into remission and lead normal lives just by changing some things in their diet. One thing critical is the Omega 3's which Flax Oil is very rich in, but it must be mixed with a sulfer protein like cottage cheese and then it is readily absorbed into your cells to help heal and repair them. I actually belong to a support group where hundreds of people have turned their lives around and no longer have the symptoms or pain or any effects from the cancer in their body at all because they have changed their diet so radically. Email me if you want the website link!

Your sister can live long and have a healthy life even if her cancer has metastasized...she can totally go into remission so please do not worry. I have heard too many stories of people that have just by changing their diet and eating healthy foods. My son is healthy today and the leukemia is gone....no more joint pain or any symptoms at all-thank God.

God bless you--I pray that your sister will live a long and healthy life and be completely healed.  (+ info)

Is adenosquamous carcinoma called glassy cell or clear cell?


My doctors never even told me the details of my cancer, I was transporting my own medical records from one doc to another and I read thru them and found all of my info.

I read that I have adenosquamous cervical carcinoma, poorly differentiated. I've been told that the poorly differentiated portion means that it is very aggressive. The adenosquamous portion I've read is a mix of squamous cell cancer and adenocarcinoma which is glandular.

I've been reading online and a lot of sources make it sound like adenosquamous carcinoma is a clear cell cancer or glassy cell cancer. I've also read that these are the cancers with the worst prognosis, respond the worst to treatment, recur more often than others, and overall are just the worst to have. I don't know if thats what I have.

My doc quoted me a cure rate of 85-95%, he is my oncologist. My radiologist told me he was way off and I would be lucky to have a 50/50 chance of cure.

Well here we are 3 months after treatment and it seems as if I am at least close to a cure. My pet scan showed a tiny speck which they said can be removed surgically if necessary, no more lymph node involvement or parametrial involvement.

But do I have this glassy cell cancer they talk so horribly about? If so, I want to be extra aggressive with my doctors in demanding more follow up than a regular CC patient. Thanks in advance.
----------

Adenosquamous carcinoma, clear cell and glassy cell are 3 different things. If you had clear or glassy cell it would clearly say so on your path report. Adenosquamous of the cervix does not often occur, but clear cell and glassy cell are very rare. The histology of your cancer was determined long ago this is the basis of your treatment, you should have also been told the details before treatment began. I am very surprised an oncologist would say there is an 85-95% cure rate, as cancer is not often discussed in terms of cure unless it is a very early stage or a non aggressive cancer. It is usually discussed in terms of survival rates and it is not 85-95% in your case. I think you need to have another talk with your oncologist.  (+ info)

I had spindle cell carcinoma - twice. Operated both times & both times with clear margins.


Last surgery on 7-18-08. First time 12-10-07. Suggested radiation treatment after last surgery. See radiation oncologist 8-4-08 for his thoughts. What do you think
----------

research the benefits of turkeytail mushrooms.  (+ info)

hi, my brother is fighting cancer and his dr mentioned new term "myxoid spindle cell sarcoma". please explain.?


We are told that there is new drug from Pfizer to treat this. Where can I get more details?
----------

Myxoid spindle cell is the kind of sarcoma your brother has. What details are you looking for? About the drug? You don’t give the name, but I guess you could go to Pfizer’s website.

When a doctor says something you do not understand that is the time to ask questions otherwise they are under the impression you understood them. Not communicating well with the doctor treating your brother can lead to frustration and other problems down the line.  (+ info)

why are scientist interested in Human embryonic stem cell. Pls be specific and clear, and give a long answer.?


stem cells can turn into any cells you want so if you have damaged heart cells you can turn stem cells into heart cells to replace the damaged heart cells.  (+ info)

what is spindle cell sarcoma?


A sarcoma (cancer) where the malignant cells look spindle shaped when examined under a microscope. You didn't give a tumor location, so I'm guessing that these links might be helpful.

What homoeopathic cell salts have you used to clear your acne?


I'm really curious what certain cells salts you have used and their strength (6X,30X, 30C, 200C?) . How many did you take per day and how many times per day? Have you ever stopped taking them? (if so, how long did you take them? Breifly what kind/ sort of acne did you have? What parts of body? This would be a great help to me and others here. If you are not familuar with cell salts, they are not salts at all. They are trace minerals that we can become unbalanced in. Sometimes called electrolyts. Thanks for your help in advanced!!
----------

Have you ever tried using Sea Salt to wash your face? Get the fine ground Sea Salt and sprinkle 1 - 2 teaspoons on your hand along with your cleanser. This is used as a mild face scrub and sea salt if very healing. I use this daily when I wash my face and no acne! I have never heard of using cell salts to clear acne. Your electrolytes have nothing to do with acne.  (+ info)

12-10-07 & 7-18-08 I had surgery for spindle cell carcinoma. There were clear margins from both.


Radiation is now being considered. The problem is that radiation can make this type of cancer more aggressive. I am very confused as to my next step. I trust my medical team so do I simply accept their decision or is there more I should be doing?
----------

I would absolutely seek another opinion or two or three until I felt comfortable with my decision. This is your body and you need to feel safe and comfortable before you proceed with anything. I don't know about you, but I feel like I have lost control enough without narrowing my options to what my team tells me what to do too. I have questioned almost everything that I felt less than "okay" about. I start radiation in 2 weeks and let me tell you that I would want every option before I made my mind up if my cancer was facing possible faster aggression. I wish you the very best of luck.   (+ info)

What is the survial rate with Sarcoma cancer?


I'm 34, doctors found a tumor in my uterus....removed it a week ago...then told me there were some odd cells that were on the tumor...they called it Sarcoma. What is going to happen next? what can I do? what are the treatments?is it to late for me?
----------

There are about 40 different types of sarcoma (cancer of the connective tissue such as blood vessels, muscles, bones, cartilage) so the first thing you need to do is ask the specific name of the sarcoma. You than need to ask what the stage and grade of the tumor as that will determine treatment. And, your next best thing to do is to go to a sarcoma cancer center or at least insist on being treated by a sarcoma specialist. Sarcoma is a rare, rare disease and very few regular oncologists have treated it . . so many make the wrong assumptions about how it should be treated. Find a sarcoma specialist here:

And, no it is not too late for you. You need to find out as much information as possible and make some critical decisions regarding treatment. But sarcoma of the uterus can be treated, but first things first . . find out the name of the sarcoma and find a sarcoma specialist to help you fight this battle. Good luck.  (+ info)
