Where are you on the Cancer Journey?


   Welcome to CureToday.com


1    Cancer is a journey - both medical and emotional. You leave the life you know as soon as you hear the words "you have cancer," not knowing what lies ahead for your body or your soul. While each journey is unique, there are universal stops and turns for every cancer patient and caregiver/co-survivor. Understanding this journey will help you maneuver the obstacles and prepare for various possibilities as you juggle new information for yourself and your family or community.

3. Before Treatment

    The first step has been decided, whether it is surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, or experimental treatments making their way into clinical trials. There are things you can do to get ready for treatment to take control of this part of the journey.

4. During Treatment

    Every person responds to cancer treatment differently, and there are many ways to cope with side effects. But remember that your soul needs attention too. Understanding the physical and emotional impact of treatment will help you manage this time.

5. End of Treatment

    When treatment ends, many will expect you to return to your old life, but you will find that you now have to identify the "new normal" that is life after treatment. Planning for the transition to survivorship will help you move on.

6. Survivorship

    You have now joined an estimated 12 million Americans who have lived through and beyond cancer treatment. Now it is time to heal - for to be well is to be cured, but to be whole is to be healed.

7. Metastatic/Chronic Cancer

    When cancer spreads to another place in the body, it's called metastatic cancer. A diagnosis of metastatic cancer no longer means having no options. Today, metastatic cancer patients, as well as chronic cancer patients who remain on treatment to keep cancer at bay, lead active lives.

8. Caregivers and Co-Survivors

    As a caregiver or co-survivor, you have a journey of your own that may involve changes in your relationships and new insights into who you are. In many ways, your journey is similar to that of the person going through cancer. The acceptance of this disease as part of your life will require its own focused attention.

9. Cancer Risk/Prevention

    As you begin the rest of your life as a cancer survivor, you'll need to be aware of cancer risk and prevention, for yourself and those you love. Finding ways to get healthy and stay healthy will be part of your survivorship.

Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins

FACTS

Good Health to all.

I was posted this article, which may have some provoking thoughts:

The below is absolutely 100% true and as a doctor I have been telling people this for 15 years now. No one wants to listen. Folks need to wake up. Cancer treatment is about making money. It is a 120 billion dollar a year industry in the United States alone and estimated to be a 600 billion dollar a year industry worldwide. A successful cancer case according to the American Cancer Society and the American College of Oncology and Hematology means that the person survives for 5 years.

Both the American Cancer Society and the American College of Oncology and Hematology admit that a person is likely to survive cancer for 7 to 10 years even if they do absolutely NOTHING. Of course, only the doctors get those magazines - not you, the cancer patient.

Alternative medicine's track record of curing cancer is 10 times higher than that of conventional medicine. Note that I say CURE.

Remember another thing. A TUMOR is just a symptom. It is not the cause of cancer. Science is cause and effect. Remove the cause and the effect disappears. I am in my third battle with cancer right now. I have not done any chemotherapy or radiation or surgery for any of my bouts with cancer. I survived leukemia, I survived Non Hodgkins Lymphoma and now I have Glioblastoma which is supposedly an incurable form of brain cancer. I was given two months to live 5 months ago. I have been using Chinese herbs, high doses of vitamin C, acupuncture, chiropractic, homeopathy and nutritional changes. Yes, at first it got worse. It had metastasized to my lymph nodes, my lungs and my bones.

As of this week, I am happy to say that there is no evidence now of any cancer in my lymph system or my bones. I had 6 tumors in my lungs, now there are only two. The tumors in my brain have shrunken tremendously. I never did any of their chemo, radiation or surgery.

Here is a very interesting statistic that you can only have access to by being a doctor. Every year more than 1,000 doctors oncologists (cancer doctors) are diagnosed with cancer. Less than 10% of them choose to do the treatment that they have been giving to their patients. Sort of like the fact that less than 25% of all pediatricians vaccinate their own children because of the fact that the risk of sudden death or serious side effects from the vaccination is higher than the risk of catching the disease one is being vaccinated for. This is not bullshit people - it is truth. Medicine is about money, not about your health and the system traps people, especially the elderly, disabled and poor into a deadly treatment regime that puts them in an early grave. Meanwhile, all the jet set billionaires are flying off to Europe and paying big bucks for alternative treatments and getting cured.

Does alternative medicine work all the time? No. Of course not. Nothing works all the time. But there is a reason for that. You don't die until it's your time to die. Nothing can make you live longer than that time. However quality of life comes into play. Those cancer patients who use alternative therapies for their cancer, yet still die from the illness, suffer a much higher quality of life. They die able to spend time with their families and even recognize their family members. They don't become emaciated like those who do chemotherapy or radiation do and rarely is a person who goes under the treatment of chemotherapy able to recognize anyone for the last few days of their lives. Their bodies become ravaged to the point that you can't even recognize them either. They suffer at a much much higher rate and they have one let down after another as doctors tell them, ahhh - it's looking good, only to tell them on the next visit it's looking worse, you need more chemo and radiation.

What is criminal about this is that YOUR DOCTORS KNOW THIS SHIT.

I took an oath as a physician. I have always followed it. That has certainly not made me successful financially as a doctor because I have consistently refused to go along with conventional medicine's bullshit.

Read the below carefully. It may indeed make a difference in your life.

AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY ('TRY', BEING THE KEY WORD) TO ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHNS HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY .
