If you had cancer...

Because at the dawn of our civilization our lifestyle was totally different, and changed throughout history and cancer was always there.
I am not saying lifestyle doesn't not have a large part to play in the early onset of cancer nowadays, but "Cancer is just a symptom of our terrible lifestyle." is just not true at all.
ok, so what to do preventively to not have cancer with absolute certainty? solution?
My 60-year old mother is going through breast cancer right now. We were fortunate enough to have the head surgeon and oncologist at Sloan Kettering in NYC.
She had a mastectomy and was told that only hormone treatment (a pill a day for 5 years) would be necessary for aftercare. My mother, being the anal person she is, decided to opt for a low-dose chemo that would give her peace of mind in case any microscopic cells were still floating around.
Well, within two "low-dose" treatments, her feet developed horrendous blisters and lesions all over. The doctors said they had never seen anything like that before - which I find hard to believe.
IMO, each case of cancer is 100% unique and needs to be dealt with independently. I'd suggest having surgery to remove any accessible tumors/growths, and then to take the time to find the best personal approach to the eradication of remaining cancers and aftercare.

Anyway, the laughs were good but it's time for me to jettison from this thread.
There's several people in here who should be a lot more concerned about their own severe autism than they should their wholly misguided views on cancer from both a biological and clinical care perspective. I've showcased two below:
The doctors were referring to her reaction to the low-dose chemo and he (Stackcash) was referring to actual cancer - which chemo is not. Chemo is a treatment, cancer is a disease.
Are you actually a retard or do you just play one on these forums?
i was referring to a lifestyle question.
if you have something to do about it then it's lifestyle
if can't do anything to prevent it for sure then it's just putting out fires.
imagine the house on fire, the firemen extinguish the house, then the investigation takes place to find out the cause of the fire.
Chemo is putting out fires, it kills bad cells but does not ensure for them not to appear again. right?
^^ what would that be then? she had it all but looks like something can be done do overcome damage from the read of it:
Complete remission testimonial: abdominal metastases (ovarian cancer tumor surgically removed) cured thanks to prayer, emotional and inner work and energy healing

Not really sure what's ironic about this at all. One statement is a regarding a side-effect caused by chemo. The other is is a statement about types of cancer.
Reading comprehension. It helps. Good attempt at being a fucking prick for absolutely no reason, though.
You find it hard to believe that the effect of the treatment could be unique just to her, but you're totally okay with the cancer itself being unique. The same logic applies. I really shouldn't have needed to explain that.
I wouldn't feel right not sharing my experience. My mother got out of her cancer treatment doing the pill a day hormone treatment for 5 years. Doctor told her there was no evidence that the treatment is effective past 5 years and told her to get off, despite her worries.
About a month after getting off treatment her cancer returned full force in her bones. Highly doubt that's just a coincidence. Do not let that happen to your grandmother. The hormone treatments are extremely mild. Try to keep her on them as long as possible. There's a good chance there could still be some cancer cells that are kept at bay with the hormone treatment, even after extensive chemo. Finally given what they need to grow after being shut down by hormone treatments and you could end up with a much stronger cancer that is now resistant to hormone treatments. Don't let that happen, and don't always take a doctors word for it.
Not to say modern medicine isn't great, just do some side research if anything sounds off.
Great info. I appreciate the share.
She was Stage 2a and the tumor strength was rated "low" after it was sent off to pathology. I think everyone involved is pretty confident that it'll stay gone, but I don't think she'll have any problem sticking with a pill-a-day if it's likely to save her life.

Sorry but thats a dumbass question. You are asking some guy on WF how to prevent cancer???
Wow, thanks for that insight. I stand corrected
:anon.sml:
This is easily one of the dumbest things I've ever read on this forum. You're a fucking idiot.
