When people talked about stage 4 lung cancer survival rate, it is impossible to predict how long a particular person will live with their cancer. The stats only apply to averages, which consists of those who lived longer and those who lived less time.

Some do have stage 4 non operable lung cancer. Fewer than 5 out of every 100 people (less than 5%) diagnosed with stage 4 non small cell lung cancer will live for at least 5 years. My prognosis was perhaps only one year with palliative chemo treatments.

Chemo treatments have not ridden some of the patients’ tumors and they have grown some, but with lifestyle, and diet change along with a huge positive attitude, some are still surviving, some are still living with it until many years.

Some cured their Stage 4 cancer with eating hot peppers, garlic and fish oil. Some of the patients were using evening primrose oil in place of the fish oil. Maybe you could try something that does not make a person sick while being treated with recommended food intake.

Most of the time the doctors do not want to remove part of the lung because your chances of surviving the surgery is not 100% and some will do treatment 2 times a day with a breathing Machine plus a steroid treatment. Please do not give up and make sure refuse to be depressed and always look around and say you can help other person do what ever than some just do it. When they say you are going to die in a year, please tell them they are not God and there is no expiration date yet.

Cancer is a severe medical condition that could otherwise cause the patient’s body to suffer until it succumbs to the disease. If a person is suffering from cancer, the quest for total cure and recovery is long and tedious. And a lot of people don’t even get near that point.

There are a lot of biochemical drugs that are developed to attack cancer cells. But despite of the fact that these remedies work relatively well, their side effects can’t be ignored at all. Some drugs exhibit immediate side effects while others only develop them in the long run. Chemotherapy is one example of a biological treatment that is very effective. However, the patient would have to endure its side effects.

This is also the reason why a lot of patients are looking for alternative cures for cancer. For one thing, not all patients benefits from chemotherapy. While this (more…)

New Drug Combination Could Be a Better Treatment for Lung Cancer

More people each year die of lung cancer than any other form of cancer. During the time I worked as a Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT), I saw and was involved in the treatment of many patients with lung cancer. My brother also died several years ago of lung cancer. Lung cancer is one of the most rapidly spread types of cancer. A new study may have revealed a better treatment regimen than is currently used.

Lung cancer can be described as the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in one or both lungs. Healthy lung tissue does not develop when abnormal cells invade the lungs. As the abnormal cells grow in lung cancer, they can form tumors, which blocks the primary function of the lungs, which is providing oxygen through the blood to the body.

Lung cancer falls into one of (more…)

Vulvar Cancer Treatments

In the next few paragraphs we will look at the current treatment procedures for cancer and the results of ongoing research methods. There are treatments for all patients with vulvar cancer, and three main types are used:

Surgery (taking out the cancer in an operation)

Radiation therapy (causing high-dose X Rays, to kill cancer cells.

Chemotherapy (using drugs to kill cancer cells)

Surgery is the most common treatment of cancer of the vulva; a doctor may take out the cancer using one of the following operations.

A wide local excision takes out the cancer and some of the normal tissue around the cancer.

Factual local excisions takes out the cancer and a large portion of normal tissue around the cancer, lymph nodes may also be removed.

Laser surgery uses a narrow beam of light to remove cancer cells.

Skinning vulvectomy takes out the entire vulva, but no lymph nodes
