Colorectal Cancer – Pipeline Assessment And Market Forecasts To 2020

GlobalData analysis found that, in 2009, the global colorectal cancer therapeutics market was worth $7.0 billion. Between 2001 and 2009, the market grew at a rate of 27.6%. By 2020, the market is expected to be worth $8.8 billion, indicating a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 2.1% between 2009 and 2020.

The global colorectal cancer therapeutics market is very attractive and has primarily been driven by the growth in patient volume and the annual cost of therapy. The patient volume was driven by increased affordability rates and growth in treatment usage patterns such as the diseased population, treatment seeking population, diagnosis population and prescription population. The annual cost of colorectal cancer therapy was driven by the launch of new therapies such as oxaliplatin, capecitabine, bevacizumab
and cetuximab. Further, the annual cost of therapy was also driven by the increased adoption of combination therapies such as FOLFOX (5-fluorouracil, leucovorin and oxaliplatin), FOLFIRI (5-fluorouracil, leucovorin and irinotecan), 5FU/LV (5-fluorouracil, leucovorin) and CAPOX (capecitabine and oxaliplatin) in the first-line and second-line treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer patients.

A Cure for Cancer I Believe There Really is a Cure for Cancer

Billions of dollars have been spent on cancer research and trying to find a cure for it. Hundreds of Thousands have died from it’s deadly jaws and millions have suffered through the horrific pain and agony of treatment. Even when they live, life has been drastically changed and the quality of their existence has diminished considerably. Is there anything that can stop this terrible disease from the suffering it causes in the victim and all the loved ones who morn for their loss? I believe there is. Research is coming out now that has found some natural substances that have the chemical compounds and the biological communication required to kill cancer cells. Kamla Al-Salmani, PhD student from the University’s Department of Cancer Studies and Molecular Medicine explained: “After a year of studying the AKBA compound with ovarian cancer cell lines in vitro, we have been able to show it is effective at killing the cancer cells.Frankincense is taken by many people with no known side effects….Treatment with frankincense could eradicate the cancerous cells alone and let the others live.- There is more and more research being done. There are many people now and the number is growing who have a natural treatment plan that is powerful and aggressive enough to destroy cancer and leave the person healthy again. It is still in its early stages of research so no one is going to start using it as their primary avenue by which to combat cancer. Much of the time it takes 10-30 years for the FDA to approve a new drug. For those who have gone through treatment for cancer or lost a loved one to it, I don’t have to explain how terrible of a sickness it is. The new information available is telling us that the cancer can be killed. Not only that, but it does it without hurting the person. Chemotherapy actually kills cancer, but it also kills the rest of the good cells as well. In other words, chemotherapy and radiation treatment are meant to kill a person, but they try to kill the cancer first in hopes that the cancer will die before the person does. Fortunately our bodies have great healing power and it actually works sometimes. We are willing to pay that price in hopes of preserving our lives or the lives of those we care so much about. So what if you or your loved one could be cured from cancer and not have to suffer such intense agony? I personally wish these new treatments were available when my wife was sick. I truly believe these new medications work. I lost my wife to cancer seven years ago. I was left with four children and I am willing to take a risk to help others use this new treatment for cancer.

Where is The cure For Cancer We’ve Been Promised

We are not winning the war against cancer and our medical system doesn’t have the answers to the problem. It’s our number two killer in western societies and yet we have been told for years that a breakthrough is just around the corner. War was declared on cancer back in 1971 so why now that over 40 years have past, we still only have the same ineffective treatments of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy that were used back in those early days.

Cancer has baffled doctors and research scientists for years and while they understand a little more now days, the number of people dying from the disease is still increasing. The reason why it is increasing lies with our modern medical system which is drug based which means profit. While we have a superb health care system if we break a leg or have an accident, when it comes to degenerative diseases such as cancer the system mostly fails.

Here is the truth about cancer and why they can’t find a cure for it. It is one disease in a hundred different locations and the growth is just the symptom of the disease. The growth itself is a sign that something is wrong with the entire body so that’s why removing only the growth seldom solves the problem. Our medical system focuses solely on removing cancer but what they should be doing is treating the malfunctioning body that caused it to grow in the first place.

We believe we have medical freedom in the choice of treatments but with cancer we don’t. The options being pushed by our mainstream medical system are nothing more than ineffective toxic treatments all owned by the -for profit- cancer industry. It’s a multi billion dollar industry that is turning patients into profit centres as money has dominated our health care system.

There are many diseases that cannot be cured with drugs and cancer is one of them along with rickets, scurvy, pellagra and AIDS. The problem with these deficiency diseases is that to treat them successfully, no one can profit from them because there are only natural ways to overcome them. You have to correct the root cause of the problem and our three ways of treating cancer today will never do that.

Vast amounts of money have been spent in looking for new drugs to treat cancer but what they are looking for doesn’t exist. All cancers are caused by the way we are now living and because of it; our immune system has weakened and allowed these foreign cells to multiply. Common sense should tell you that you have to remove the factors that first caused it before you can overcome it.

Of course we are all being kept ignorant about cancer and we believe only our doctors can sort out complex problems like these. That’s why our medical system uses terminology we don’t understand which makes the average person feel ignorant and stupid. This keeps people from believing that they could never heal themselves.

People can heal themselves from any cancer and it’s been carried out thousands of times in the past. It is a far more effective and safer approach. It uses the power of our immune system which needs to be boosted which will then remove the cancer safely and of course without any side effects. It works with all cancers and it works for everyone.

A quick way to remove cancer is never the best way because it will only come back again and that’s when it becomes dangerous.

Alan Wighton is an experience health researcher specializing in cancer. A natural approach can have a far better outcome than our current way of treating the disease.

buddy Bracelet’ Spreads Awareness Of Colorectal Cancer

Colorectal cancer is 90 percent preventable and 90 percent treatable when detected early, yet it continues to be the second leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States.

To help spread the message about the importance of early detection, the Cancer Research and Prevention Foundation and its 54 partners have joined together to celebrate National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month by introducing the “Buddy Bracelet,” a unique and powerful way to promote public awareness of the disease.

“Today, in a sea of colored bracelets, the blue Buddy Bracelet stands out by creating a clever way for people to take their health into their own hands,” said Carolyn Aldig, president and founder of the Cancer Research and Prevention Foundation. “The bracelet spreads the message that colorectal cancer is preventable, treatable and beatable.”

Launched in 2004 to celebrate National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, the Buddy Bracelet reminds those who wear it to get screened for colorectal cancer. After the person is screened, he or she gives the bracelet to a family member, friend or colleague, passing on the powerful message about talking with a health care professional about colorectal cancer. The bracelet then is transferred from that person to another person and so on.

The bracelet’s theme, “Wear it, share it, because you care,” is a message that could save thousands of lives.

People at average risk for

colorectal cancer should get screened starting at age 50. Younger people can help support the Buddy Bracelet effort by learning about their families’ medical histories, starting a dialogue about colorectal cancer with their health care professionals and reminding loved ones to get screened.

Colon Cancer – Diagnosis, Causes, Symptoms, Treatment, And Prognosis.

Colon cancer is cancer of the large intestine (colon), the lower part of your digestive system. Colon cancer is the second most common cancer in the USA with equal distribution between men and women. Colon tumors usually affect people over the age of 40, with the majority of people who are diagnosed with the condition being over 60 years of age. Colon cancer may affect any racial or ethnic group; however, some studies suggest that Americans of northern European heritage have a higher-than-average risk of colon tumours.

INCIDENCE OF COLON CANCER
Colon cancer is more common in industrialized nations and in those societies where red meat is a major part of the diet, although evidence tends to suggest that merely changing your diet to white meat and seafood as in for instance Japan, tends to just swap stomach cancer for colon cancer. In almost all cases colon cancer is a treatable disease if caught early.

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
Colon cancer usually begins with the appearance of benign growths such as polyps. Often there are no early symptoms. If signs and symptoms of colon cancer do appear, they may include: a change in your bowel habits, including diarrhea or constipation or a change in the consistency of your stool for more than a couple of weeks, rectal bleeding or blood in your stool, persistent abdominal discomfort, such as cramps, gas or pain, abdominal pain with a bowel movement, a feeling that your bowel doesn’t empty completely, weakness or fatigue and unexplained weight loss.

CAUSES OF COLON CANCER
Colon cancer’s exact cause is unknown, but it appears to be influenced by both inherited and environmental factors. Studies show a concentration in areas of higher economic development suggesting a relationship to diet, particularly excess animal fat and low fiber. Other factors that increase the risk of developing colon tumors are: age over 40, the presence of other diseases of the digestive tract, family history and ulcerative colitis.
Development of colon cancer at an early age, or at multiple sites, or recurrent colon cancer, suggests a genetically transmitted form of the disease as opposed to the sporadic form. There also is a slight increased risk for colon carcinoma in the individual who smokes.
The most common colon cancer cell type is adenocarcinoma which accounts for 95% of cases.

DIAGNOSIS
The development of polyps of the colon usually precedes the development of colon cancer by five or more years. The American Gastroenterologial Association revised its screening guidelines in 2003 to recommend that people with two or more first-degree relatives with colorectal cancer or a first-degree relative with colon or rectal cancer before age 60 should have a screening colonoscopy beginning at age 40 or beginning 10 years prior to the age of the earlier colon cancer diagnosis in their family (whichever is earliest). Those with a first-degree relative diagnosed with colon cancer after age 60 or two second-degree relative with colon or rectal cancer should begin screening at age 40 with one of the methods listed above, such as annual sigmoidoscopy. The most common colon cancer screening tests are colonoscopy, sigmoidoscopy, and fecal occult blood test.
CT scans and Barium enemas are also routinely used for diagnosis of colon and rectal cancers.

TREATMENT OF COLON CANCER
Almost all colon tumors are treated with surgery first, regardless of stage. The malignant tumor, adjacent tissues and any lymph nodes that may contain cancer cells are removed.
In colon cancer, chemotherapy after surgery is usually only given if the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes (Stage III). Radiation therapy may also be used to induce tumor regression. As with other cancer treatments, the incidence of side effects varies with patient health and the exact nature of the treatment.

PREVENTION
There is not an absolute method for preventing colon cancer. Still, there are steps an individual can take to dramatically lessen the risk or to identify the precursors of colon cancer so that it does not manifest itself. People who turn age 50, and all of those with a history of colon cancer in their families, should speak with their physicians about the most recent screening recommendations from physician and cancer organizations. They should watch for symptoms and attend all recommended screenings to increase the likelihood of catching colon cancer early. Exercise is believed to reduce the risk of colon cancer. Apparently, no association exists between frequency of bowel movement or laxative use and risk of colon cancer.

PROGNOSIS
Prognosis depends on the stage of the disease and the overall health of the patient. If diagnosed early, before the tumor has spread from the bowel, these treatments are very effective, with about 90% of patients alive five years after diagnosis. If the colon cancer does not come back (recur) within 5 years, it is considered cured. Prognosis is poor in patients with liver and lung metastases.

Reasons Why There Is So Much Skin Cancer Now Days

Struggling with skin cancer because youve been in the sun too much and are blaming the sun? Despite what were told, thats not quite true even though we believe the sun is our enemy and is the reason why there is so much skin cancer today. Weve had decades of campaigns urging us to avoid the sun, stay in the shade, use sunscreens and generally have as little to do with the sun as possible yet the rate of skin cancer is still increasing.

For something that provides life on this earth the sun has received an enormous amount of bad press lately. There was a time when this disease of skin cancer didnt exist and that was only a few years ago so why is it causing such a problem now. One thing that skin cancer is doing now days is enjoying a great boon and there are plenty of people reaping the benefits from it. Have you ever noticed how many skin cancer clinics have sprung up in the last few years?

The bottom line is, the sun is not our enemy and its actually our friend as life for all living creatures including humans wouldnt exist without it. Its not the sun thats entirely to blame for the problem of skin cancer as the sun hasnt changed and the ozone layer that protects us from harmful radiation from the suns rays is only a problem over the Antarctic where nobody lives. So what is causing so much skin cancer?

Cancer may develop in any place on the body where theres been an irritation and while excessive sunburn can cause an irritation and blemishes to appear there are other factors that cause these blemishes to grow. What has changed in the last few years is our diet and its our poor diet that is contributing to skin cancer which includes melanomas.

We need the sun everyday for the sun has amazing healing powers. A few minutes of sun exposure everyday on our bare skin heals cancer rather than causes it. We get important vitamin D from the sun which helps us absorb nutrients from the food we eat, especially calcium which is important for a cancer patient. It also helps us maintain the health of our bones and teeth. Other ways to get the recommended daily intake of vitamin D is from food such as oily fish and, to a lesser extent egg yolk, and meat such as liver. Also in some places milk has been fortified with the vitamin D.

While over exposure to the suns rays can be harmful, especially to a light skin person, 10 to 15 minutes of the suns rays on our face, arms or legs everyday does have amazing healing qualities. If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with either skin cancer or a melanoma its important to get a little sunlight on your bare skin everyday. That will help strengthen the immune system and will allow the body to fight and remove the cancer.

Typically conventional treatments for skin cancer focus on the symptom of the problem, which is the cancer growth. Learn about real cures that focus on the cause of the problem, that is why the cancer first appeared. Address that problem and the cancer will never come back. The reason why it commonly returns now days is because there is nothing in surgery, radiation or chemotherapy that will stop it from returning as they are only attempting to removing growths.

Our medical system can not match the astonishing healing powers of a healthy diet, a little exercise and some sensible natural sunlight.

Esophageal Cancer Therapeutics – Pipeline Assessment And Market Forecast To 2017

Esophageal Cancer Therapeutics Market is forecast to Show High Growth Until 2017, The report identifies the key trends shaping and driving the global Esophageal Cancer Therapeutics market.

GlobalData estimates that the global esophageal cancer therapeutics market was valued at $243.8m in
2010, and is forecast to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 14% over the next seven
years, to reach $594.7m by 2017. This fast growth is primarily attributed to the strong pipeline and onset of four promising molecules from 2014 onwards. The HER-2 expressing patients have access to
Herceptin (transtuzumab) which is approved for HER2-overexpressing metastatic gastroesophageal (GE)
junction adenocarcinoma along with some widely used off-label drugs such as cisplatin and capecitabine
and ECF (epirubicin,cisplatin and 5-FU) which have gone off-patent.

GlobalData analysis shows that the esophageal cancer therapeutics pipeline is strong, with 35 molecules
in various phases of clinical development, including 31 first-in-class molecules. The four promising first-inclass products such as Avastin (bevacizumab), Erbitux (cetuximab), ramucirumab and Tykerb (lapitinib) in late stage pipeline are expected to hit the market around 2014. These products possess mechanisms of action different from currently used drugs. Thus the pipeline for the esophageal cancer therapeutics
market is strong.

Cancer Markers

There, I said it – the big C word. No one wants to hear it. You may well possess a household member who has it, be a survivor yourself, or know someone who has died from it.

Since I have PBC (key biliary cirrhosis) I am concerned about liver cancer. I have blood tests every last so a lot of months to keep an eye on my liver enzyme levels. There may be a high incidence of liver cancer resulting from individuals who have had liver cirrhosis.

You may perhaps have been curious how doctors can tell what stage of cancer a person has.

Alpha-fetoprotein or AFP is a type of tumor marker which is employed to diagnose cancer. These markers are applied to determine which stage of cancer a patient has. Tumor markers are substances (mostly proteins) that happen to be made by the human body or by the tumor itself in response to cancer.

A high reading of sure proteins in an urine or blood sample could indicate a much more aggressive cancer. Ordinarily, the higher the resulting number on the marker, the higher the stage of cancer.

Where symptoms suggest cancer in a patient, urine and blood samples are taken and submitted to a laboratory to become tested for cancer tumor marker levels.

The results assist the physician in determining if a patient has cancer. They can also help diagnose the type of cancer the patient has.

Cancer markers also are helpful in determining the prognosis for your patient. They’re also put to use to check to see if cancer has returned after remission.

A biopsy is taken once a diagnosis of cancer has been made, and again tumor markers can help to determine the amount of cancer which is present from the patient’s entire body.

Advanced cancer is indicated by higher tumor marker levels along with the prognosis is less beneficial.

With the help of cancer markers, a doctor can then determine the best treatment for your patient.

Forms of Cancer Markers

Some with the most common cancer markers (AFP) are applied for diagnosing the following cancers:

Liver
Ovarian
Breast
Gastrointestinal
Pancreatic
Lung
Colon
Prostate
Cancer research is ongoing in hopes to discover tumor markers for other sorts of cancers.

Not just one tumor marker is utilised for all cancers, and not all cancers have tumor markers that work specifically for their diagnosis and treatment.

Once cancer treatment has been started by a patient, they will need to have further testing with tumor markers to see if their particular treatment is working.

If the tumor marker level declines, it generally is definitely an indication that the current treatment is working.

If the level increases or stays the same, the physician may perhaps try a different form of treatment.

It really is important that a selected amount of time has passed between cancer marker testing to give the treatment a chance to work to the tumor.

Drawbacks of Cancer Markers

You can find only a few cancer markers which have been able to find cancer within the early stages. In fact, you will find particular noncancerous illnesses which can contribute to a high tumor marker level.

On occasion, cancer marker levels may well not be elevated in a person who really has cancer. It will be important that all tests are taken into consideration, like a complete physical examination, history of your patient, other laboratory tests and scans.

Another drawback of testing with markers is that from time to time you get a false constructive. You will find a few factors that might contribute to an inaccurate lab test. Particular medications can alter the results of blood and urine tests, together with Vitamin C, Naproxen Sodium or Tylenol. Some antibiotics can also affect the tests.

False positives rates for cancer marker tests are normally 5 per cent. For other false positives or false negatives and their causes go to this link.

Personally, I have lost a boss to cancer from smoking. It was not lung, but nose cancer. He was way too young to die, and was a very kind man. He was a chain smoker.

I am glad that research continues on these sorts of markers to help in detecting cancer cells early on so a person has a better chance of surviving.

If you have peculiar symptoms, breast changes, weight loss, uncommon bleeding, unexplained fatigue, gnawing pain, indigestion, changes in lymph nodes, depression, or persistent cough or sore that will not heal, go to see your doctor. It really is better to become tested early rather than wait until it will be too late to deal with it.

A Miracle Cancer Cure…one Woman’s Story

When you feel something is just not right with your body, and it does not go away you end up in a doctors office to make you well again. This is the western way of looking at medicine. The Chinese, on the other hand, view medicine as a lifestyle of health maintenance. The Chinese go to the doctor to maintain health on a regular basis. Westerners go to the doctor when something is wrong.

After living in China for many years, I learned first-hand about the Chinese view of medicine and how dramatically different it is from the way we westerners think about medical practices. It is normal for Chinese people to eat something because it is good for their health. Wellness-thinking is common practice in China.

I relate this dichotomy because when I was faced with cancer and how to treat the cancer, I had a dilemma. There are many ways to treat cancer, but which one do you choose? The process is very confusing. After being treated for many years by Chinese doctors and believing in their methodology, when I was faced with a serious disease, I reverted back to being treated by doctors in the ways of the American Medical Association.

Fear is a great decision factor in how you select a cancer treatment. Not knowing anything about cancer also leaves us at the mercy of medical practitioners who want to cure you in their method, no matter how difficult the treatment may be. The choice you make can save your life, or at the least a lot of trauma to your body which is already ill.

My own personal journey was first to be diagnosed with cancer, and to be cured the first time through Chemotherapy and Radiation; both grueling and life-threatening. Doctors tell you to bulk up your body before these treatments because you will lose almost 30% of your body fat. They know just how sick you are going to be after they infuse your body with poison. In my case, I lost 50% of my body fat and looked like a scarecrow. I lost my hair, my skin looked a whitish-green-grey color, I could not keep any food down, I totally lost my appetite, my immune system was non-existent, I became anemic, and I almost died.

However, the cancer was in remission and everyone was happy, including me.

Everyone who experiences Chemotherapy and Radiation knows what a living-hell it can be. Not only is this process of treating cancer a living-nightmare, but this method of curing cancer leaves your body totally depleted of any of the nutritional storage reserve. A cancer ridden-body is anemic which is why the cancer-gray pallor is evident on a person who has cancer. Chemotherapy causes anemia. Therefore, Chemotherapy causes the body to have a double-dose of anemia. Many people cannot survive this trauma to the body. They simply do not have enough hemoglobin for the bodys protective cells to do their work.

Recuperating after cancer treatment from Chemotherapy and Radiation takes years.

Because my bodys natural resources were depleted and my immune system defenseless, I attracted a rare amoeba in my right eye causing blindness for almost a year, and had a heart attack needing heart surgery. My natural defenses were missing in action.

With no immune system, and no natural body defense system, my body was left open to disease. The same cancer returned to my body a second time.

This time the doctors decided to perform what they term salvage surgery. This is a very radical surgery which cuts the cancerous tumor and margins. Surgical margins could be compared to the way you cut a peach. When there is a dark spot on a peach, you cut a wider part around the dark spot so that only the perfect part is left. So it is in surgery. Salvage surgery in my case would be to cut a part of my jaw, a part of my tongue, a part of my throat, remove my neck artery and replace it with the artery in my right hand. Since one cannot grow another jaw or artery, I had some serious decisions to make.

I thought long and hard about my situation with the return of cancer to my body. I sat in meditation, prayed to God for guidance, and consoled with very good friends.

My final decision was to turn down salvage surgery. I needed to find another way to rid my body of cancer without violating and deforming my body. The little voice inside my head was my guidance. Even after getting three professional opinions from three of the top oncologists in the world, salvage surgery was not an option for me.

Alternative Cancer Treatment became my chosen journey for cancer cure. A naturopathic and holistic approach to cancer became a way of life for me for the next six to nine months. I began to research and look for natural cancer cures. Alternative Cancer Therapy in many ways resembles the Chinese methodology of treating illness. I had come full circle in my thinking. Eastern medical philosophy has been treating people for thousands of years. In Asia overall, there is no where the widespread epidemic proportion of cancer cases which we have in the western world.

After visiting a Naturopathic doctor in California I realized cancer can be cured. My anti-cancer diet included cancer fighting foods such as fish, fruits, grains, nuts, vegetables and vitamin supplements in order to jump-start my body back to health. Within a few weeks, I could feel a difference in my being. I had more energy, my coloring was rosy, and I began to feel alive again.

On the other hand, the inner voice in my head kept saying dig deeper. Angel-friends were sent to me who gave me tips and ideas on alternative cancer treatments, cancer-fighting teas, natural cancer cures, Reiki Therapy, acupressure, alternative cancer cures and holistic cancer cures. I followed them all, and then some!

In the following months, I created an Anti-Cancer diet. I knew that in order for me to keep with a diet to get well and probably for the rest of my life, the food had to look and taste wonderful. To develop the Anti-Cancer Diet I researched anti-cancer foods and cancer-fighting foods all known to have anti-oxidants. Amazingly, almost all of the anti-cancer foods cross-referenced with the same foods recommended by the FDA Consumer Journals Top 20 Fruits, Vegetables and Fish. It was not difficult to come up with wonderful recipes within the Anti-Cancer Diet guidelines. I had a place to start and a goal; to cure cancer in my own body.

In my research, I read where Dr. Joanna Budwig, a German biochemist and one of Europes best cancer researchers had discovered that cancer cells were missing two essential amino acids: Linolenic Acid and Linoleic Acid. Her cure for cancer was to heal the cancerous cells by giving her patients a diet which included a combination of Flax-seed Oil (high in Omega3) and Quark (low-fat cottage cheese). Her theory is that cells die and regenerate themselves every day; and by feeding the cells what they are lacking, they become healthy cells. Her way of healing the cancer cells was to provide them with the essential amino acids which were missing. This is a simplistic solution to a complex problem. Her solution made perfect sense to me. With this knowledge, I created more recipes for myself incorporating the Flax-seed oil and cottage cheese in order to heal the cancerous cells in my body. I began to love my new diet.

Before long, people were coming up to me telling me how wonderful I looked. My skin had lost the cancer-grey pallor. My skin tone had color and glowed with health. I felt alive again for the first time in many years. I knew I was going to be well again.

However, my inner voice, whom I began to trust daily kept saying dig deeper.

I read many books, but the one book which caught my eye one day in the bookstore was a title by Louise Hay; You Can Heal Your Life. The holistic approach to healing is to treat the entire body, mind, and soul. It makes sense since our body is connected to the mind and the soul. We are all one unit. The holistic approach to wellness seemed very logical to me. Louise Hay relates how thoughts are things and we attract situations in our lives through our subconscious thoughts.

Many emotional situations which happened during our lives are still imprinted in our minds. I had a very traumatic event happen in my life two years before I was diagnosed with cancer. I was engaged to be married to my business partner. A month before the wedding, he died tragically while I was out of the country in China. Upon my return to the United States to claim his body, I found evidence of his alternative lifestyle. He died before he could hide the trappings of his gay lifestyle. I was devastated and could not believe my eyes. Wanting to bury him with honor, I never divulged my horror. I kept all those emotions inside. Little did I realize by burying those intense emotions, I would cause myself to get seriously ill.

Louise Hays book guided my through a thought-changing process where I was able to release the past traumas still trapped in my psyche. I was able to let go of my broken heart, the anger, the rage, the embarrassment and the humiliation. Once I was able to discharge the deep hurt inside, I was able to heal my mind and soul.

I learned that thoughts are things. Knowing and believing this fact, I set about to create situations in my life where I could heal my body, mind and soul.

What I realized is that cancer is not the basis of the disease. Cancer is the result of a long-term neglect of the body, mind, and soul until the body finally succumbs to illness. A miraculous cancer cure happened in my life. I was able to heal my body with healthy foods and a diet which I can enjoy and live on for the rest of my life and I was able to release the intense emotional blocks holding me in an illness state so that I could cure myself of cancer.

Cancer is no longer an issue in my life. My cancer journey was not an easy one. However, I feel that God guided me through all of these illnesses so that I would tell my story. I can look at a person now and know if they are healthy or not. Cancer can be cured with Alternative Cancer Treatments, Natural Cancer Cures, and Holistic Cancer Cures which are non-invasive; they heal the body, not destroy it. These therapies and cancer cures build your body back to a nutritional self with a healthy mental attitude. I highly recommend alternative cancer treatments and holistic cancer cures.they work!

Doctor Says You Just Have Hemorrhoids But You Have Colon Cancer Which Is Growing And Spreading

The very mention of the phrase -colon cancer- tends to raise worry in the majority of us. It can thus feel quite reassuring for your doctor say that you only have hemorrhoids and there is no need to be concerned about the blood in your stool. Yet this reassurance should not be given until the physician has eliminated the possibility of colon cancer (and other potentially serious gastrointestinal problems). Else, you might not find out that you have colon cancer before it is too late. Should a physician conclude without testing assumes that claims of blood in the stool or rectal bleeding by a patient are from hemorrhoids and it eventually turns out to be colon cancer, that physician might have committed medical malpractice and the patient may be able to pursue a lawsuit against that doctor.

In excess of 10 million men and women have hemorrhoids and another million new incidents of hemorrhoids will probably arise this year as opposed to a little more than the 100 thousand new cases of colon cancer that will be identified this year. In addition, not all colon cancers bleed. If they do, the bleeding might be non-consistent. And subject to where the cancer is in the colon, the blood may not even be visible in the stool. Possibly it is in part as a result of the difference in the quantity of instances being detected that some physicians simply consider that the existence of blood in the stool or rectal bleeding is from hemorrhoids. This amounts to playing the odds. A doctor who reaches this conclusion will be right greater than ninety percent of the time. It appears realistic, right? The difficulty, though, is that if the doctor is incorrect in this diagnosis, the patient might not find out he or she has colon cancer before it has reached a late stage, maybe to the point where treatment is no longer effective.

This is why doctors generally recommend that a colonoscopy ought to be completed immediately if a patient has blood in the stool or rectal bleeding. A colonoscopy is a procedure that uses a flexible tube with a camera on the end is employed to visualize the inside of the colon. If growths (polyps or tumors) are found, they can be taken out (if sufficiently small) or sampled and checked for the presence of cancer (by biopsy). Only if no cancer is detected during the colonoscopy can colon cancer be ruled out as a cause of the blood.

However, should the cancer not be discovered until it has spread outside of the colon and has reached the lymph nodes, the individual’s five year survival rate will normally be roughly 53%. In addition to surgery to take out the tumor and surrounding areas of the colon treatment for this stage of colon cancer requires chemotherapy in an attempt to eliminate any cancer that may remain in the body. By the time the cancer reaches distant organs like the liver, lungs, or brain, the individual’s five year survival rate is cut down to roughly eight percent. Now treatment may entail surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and other medications. Treatment may or may not still be effective when the cancer is this advanced. When treatment ceases to be effective, colon cancer is fatal. This year, roughly 48,000 men and women will pass away in the U.S. from colon cancer metastasis.

As a result of diagnosing complaints of blood in the stool or rectal bleeding as caused by hemorrhoids while not performing the right tests to eliminate the possibility of colon cancer, a physician puts the patient at risk of not learning he or she has colon cancer until it reaches an advanced, possibly untreatable, stage. This may constitute a departure from the accepted standard of medical care and might result in a medical malpractice case.
