That awareness thing

Am I the only one on the planet who thinks we do not need more awareness of different cancer types? I mean yes there are some really obscure ones that need awareness and more treatment as well as metastatic cancer definitely needs more options. But really, do we really need an unending calendar of fashion shows, races, walks, and other events?

I may be cynical but I think most of us are too aware of cancer these days. Or is it just me because it has been part of my life for so long?

Why am I so tired?

I am tired. A lot. I need naps. I am sure a doctor will tell me its due to fibromyalgia or rheumatoid arthritis. All I know is I need a nap. I slept almost 12 hours last night and feel that I need a nap later today.

Yes I will talk to my new primary care on Monday but I still will take naps. Its not just that I need naps, I don't have the energy to do a lot of things I want to do, such as see friends.

But I digress. Its been a busy day so far and its not even noon! I'll have to fit in a nap later.

Why do people read my drivel like this? Its awful.

How confident am I on my health?

This is a tough subject for me. I am at a point where I feel okay most of the time but am not sure I feel well enough to make significant changes. I mean should I look for a new job? At my current job, there are some pluses and some minuses. The negatives are things like commute distance (farther than I like), lowish salary - decent but I wouldn't mind more (who wouldn't?). The pluses are total flexibility in my schedule and I am an established employee.

If I left my job I would have to establish myself somewhere else and have no seniority. If my health acted up and I couldn't work for a week or so (not an unknown event), would I jeopardize it? I am hesitant to look for another job because I am not sure I am healthy enough to establish myself at a new one.

On the other hand, I see my new primary care on Monday and I do NOT expect anything new and unexciting in my health. I don't think I have any bad things going on (but not to jinx myself or anything).

The 'joys' and solitude of a second cancer

When diagnosed with a first cancer, we are all gobsmacked, appalled, overwhelmed, stunned, depressed, shocked, awed, overrun, and more as a result. You struggle through treatment and the ensuing body changes and emotions and slowly return to that so called 'new' normal and life resumes.

Then when cancer, the 'gift that keeps on giving', shows up again, you start all over again. It can be a dreaded recurrence or metastases or you can start all over again with a new cancer. Second cancers are not recurrences but new primaries. Such a joy. Not really.

When my second cancer showed up, in some ways it put me back to where I was emotionally but I was better prepared for it emotionally. And I was more proactive in coping with it. I joined support groups, on and off line, got therapy and worked hard at accepting this new health disaster.

However, I was basically the only one I knew who had had two cancers as me. Actually I know one other person in the world who had both breast cancer and thyroid cancer. (I know there are other people who have had these two cancers because it is not that uncommon that they show up in the same person but the only person I could connect to was in Europe.) We were both in the same online support group. She posted a message asking if anyone had had both and I responded.

With one cancer, you can find a ribbon to support you, a group of people like you with the cancer, and you can all bond with each other. Or you find a group of people have had a single cancer and you all can talk about the joys of treatment. But with a second cancer, you become an outlier. Most people only get one cancer. The multiple diagnoses are much fewer.

This is starting to change. New research (because we always need more research) shows that one in five cancer diagnoses are second cancers. In the 1970s only 9% of cancer diaganoses were second cancers. There are many reasons for this:

"About 19 percent of cancers in the United States now are second-or-more cases, a recent study found. In the 1970s, it was only 9 percent. Over that period, the number of first cancers rose 70 percent while the number of second cancers rose 300 percent.

Strange as it may sound, this is partly a success story: More people are surviving cancer and living long enough to get it again, because the risk of cancer rises with age."

So since I was young to get my first cancer, before age 20, and young to get my second cancer, before age 50, am I doomed to get more cancers? But at least it won't be as lonely as this second cancer rate continues to rise.

More than one ailment

So I read the news, a lot. And probably I read too much news and especially health news - searching for the elusive cures. But in reading the news, I see lots of different opinions and announcements as one would expect.

Two things caught my eye this morning. One reminds us that breast cancer is not the main killer of women. Its heart disease. While we cover the world in little pink ribbons for breast cancer, we need to remember heart disease and other ailments are out there as well and that also kill people.

Another article I read is about a woman who blogs about life with fibromyalgia. I read the article and then thought for a few minutes (a dangerous proposition I know). Yes she is struggling with fibromyalgia. But there are people out there, like me, that have fibromyalgia and additional ailments. So those struggles with fibromyalgia are piled on top of issues with other ailments or issues.

When we are diagnosed with an ailment, it becomes the hyperfocus of our lives. But we need to realize that we are not the worst off, there are many others who have their own pile of problems, including poverty, mental illness, and more and are in much worse shape.

Imagine life with your pile of ailments and issues and compound it with additional ones such as poverty, lack of health insurance or transportation, isolation, or other issues.

I make myself sometimes peel off my layers of focus on my life and keep the awareness of others who are worse off.

Back to work....

Today I am back to work after almost three weeks off. I had to dig around to find a pair of pants and haven't yet found my shoes. Summer vacation means shorts, sandals and sneakers, not long pants and work shoes. Our lunches are made (yes I make lunch for both of us every week day) but the nice cat is out so I have to get him back in before leaving. The evil cat is busy plotting our demise....

Yesterday I had a good PT appointment. The therapist thinks that I probably didn't damage any major ligaments and probably only the meniscus, which sometimes does not require surgery. It depends how it heals and how badly it was damaged.

Also my rheumatologist thinks I am doing pretty well - this means no blood work for two whole months and no follow up for three months. Sometimes I have blood work every two weeks and appointments every six weeks so this is much better.

Finally my therapist is an idiot. Okay maybe a little harsh but she doesn't seem to understand my family dynamics so it  was a fruitless discussion. She may become my former therapist shortly. After every appointment with her, I wonder why I am still seeing her. But I try to manage the amount of change in my life and next week I see my new PCP for the first time. So the jury is still out but its not looking that good for her. The real decision is do I still need a therapist.

But now to find the cat and my shoes so I can go to work. Maybe they missed me....

Physical therapy

This morning I finally will start physical therapy for my knee, nearly four weeks after falling. I have opted to have my PT at the gym instead of through the hospital. There are several reasons for this.

First of all, after my initial appointment, I can do my PT on my own instead of having to juggle three more appointments each week. I just don't have the patience for that. When I have PT, I do my exercises every day. Most physical therapists have told me many patients only do their exercises at their sessions.

Second of all, its free. I won't get three sessions each week for free but I will get a session every week or two, and free advice when I want. Yes I have health insurance but I can save the copays, and save my insurance company their share. This makes it a win-win (I hate that term) situation as far as I am concerned.

Last of all, I have had PT for my knees several times so I am aware of what to expect. I know my biggest problem won't be which exercises to do but which ones I am able to do. Between my back issues and hip bursitis, I physically can't do many of the exercises.

So much fun, more than I deserve.

On ignoring doctor's advice

I am not going to say doctors are gods or anything, but they did go to school for many years more than I did so I can easily admit that they might know more about medical crap than I, even if their bedside manner really sucks at times.

I also strongly believe that as patients we owe it to ourselves to do our research, listen to our options, and do what we feel will help us best. And if this includes juicing, yoga, fasting, acupuncture, turmeric, coffee cleanses, or whatever, we also owe it to ourselves to listen to the advice of our medical professionals.

It is a real shame that some people die when they choose to ignore medical advice and advancements. New research out of Australia focuses on young cancer patients who are ignoring medical advice to cure their cancer through diet changes and result in unfortunate outcomes. These popular bloggers are not properly trained medical professionals so its not that surprising that these are the results are what they are.

If diet could cure us, we wouldn't need doctors.

We must listen to our doctors advice, and sometimes question it, but heed it for the most part. If we don't listen to our doctors and heed their advice, we can't fully question it and then make our good decisions based on our experience with it.

I haven't blogged

Did you miss me? Actually I am around, I am stressed (no new health disasters), I am tired, and I am still without a laptop....

I hope to get my laptop back early this week. I have two doctor appointments on Monday and start PT for my knee. And have a PILE of laundry to get through.

Maybe by the time I am back to regular blogging, they will have discovered a cure for cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, and a bunch of other ailments. And world peace.

Americans united against big pharma

Sometimes I wonder if I am the only one who doesn't approve of  big pharma. And now it turns out that in general more of us disapprove of big pharma and think they are ripping off patients who rake their prescription medications. Its nice to know I am not alone in being critical.

You can read the article here. Big pharma companies have a lower favorability rating than the erect of the healthcare industry, airlines and banks. And only slightly more favorable than oil companies.

Over focused?

Maybe I am a bit too focused on health issues and my health specifically. I admit to checking the health section of every news source I look at. And then I read articles about new research showing women need to be more vigilant for breast cancer or some other ailment. Really? Can't we all just go back to our annual physical and let our primary care tell us we are fine?

I am fed up with focusing on my health. I am tired of being vigilant and stressing about one ailment or another, never mind any potential new one. Maybe I need a new hobby, or to be healthy? That's it, I'll be healthy again. As if that will happen.

But maybe I need the mindset of a healthy person. What is the mindset of a healthy person?

Maybe I'll just get another hobby.

Finding the balance

More tests or fewer, more meds or fewer. Does this mean fewer diagnoses and more deaths? I don't think it has to. We just need to find the balance.

We need to focus on finding, not what is the most we can do, to what is the best thing that can be done for the patient. Go read this article to learn more. I strongly agree with this theory.

I can't tell you how many times I have felt over-tested, -poked, and -prodded, because of 'my medical history, they have to be sure'. I can't tell you how annoying that is. Really? Can't they just say that's the best thing for you? Or is that not what they mean?

There is a current leaning in the medical/insurance world to cut down on the amount of tests, scans, and medications for patients. American medical costs are the highest in the world and American patients are blasted by ads and mailings from manufacturers on the newest, most expensive treatments, which are often unnecessary. And patients ask for more scans.

I get it. I have asked doctors why no more scans or tests? And the answer is 'there are no reasons to have any scans, there are no changes'. I can live with that. And I get mailings from Pfizer to go on Xeljanz, which is probably no better than my current drug combinations. And that new drug costs a fortune.

There is a tiny part of my brain that screams 'cure me', give me more tests, find a fancy pill, do something so I can go back to my former healthy self. But the rational part of me knows that isn't a reality. I can dream can't I?

Are any of these people who are so upset about not enough testing and medications patients? If my doctor says this is what's best for you, I'm happy. Its the right balance for me.

As patients we need to accept what our doctors say is enough. And we still need to be vigilant against under treatment, but that's another story.

Technical Difficulties

I hate technical difficulties. One of my main responsibilities at work is IT support for the company. I troubleshoot, set up computers, install software, and more. I also help friends with their computers as well. Therefore I hate it when I have technical difficulties.

Right now my laptop is in ICU at the local computer store. The preliminary diagnosis is that the plug where the power cord from the wall outlet plugs in has died. The laptop didn't recognize the AC adapter so I couldn't charge the battery, and if you moved it a tiny bit (or not at all), it would lose contact with the AC adapter and shut down. Not fun and basically made the computer unusable.

I will know in a couple of days if its an affordable, sensible, repair. The laptop is 3 years old so it doesn't make sense to spend a lot of money on it. And I really do not want buy a new computer right now. Nor is it backed up (which is a cardinal rule in the IT world).

In the meantime, I am using my phone and tablet for technology. Its okay but not great. Yes I can access the internet and my email but the on screen keyboard is a PITA. And all my files are on the laptop so I can't take care of some volunteer work. Nor do I have all computer programs that I use regularly.

But its not health related and it is aggravating. Grrrr.

And how am I doing?

I blogged about my difficult decision. I blogged about our new cats. I haven't blogged about me.

Honestly, I am not doing that great. I have been exhausted for a while. On vacation I would sleep a lot and was feeling caught up on sleep. Since coming home, I have been exhausted. After two nights in our bed, I have slept well but am still exhausted. I woke up a while ago and am still in bed and will probably go back to sleep.

My knee is a clear source of stress. It has a tendency to give way, even while wearing a brace, which is not fun. I start PT next week and will see how it goes. I plan to talk to the physical therapist about my knee giving way before I call my doctor back. Its not making me happy.

I am also feeling emotionally drained. It was a big effort to leave our long planned vacation. My first thought on driving home was to call my therapist and get in to see her. But I am not sure of my schedule this week and I have an appointment in a couple weeks anyway. Maybe I just need to go into emotional hiding for a bit and lick my wounds for a few days.

In some ways its a bit of relief that I stood my ground and left. Everything is now out in the open.

I need a nap. Bye.

Life with the new cats

Last April our 20 year old, much loved cat died, basically of old age. We were very sad and got new cats in late May, who have been settling in nicely, and us with them.

Boots is the very nice, if somewhat skittish, cat who needs a lot of attention. He is gray and white with 'boots'. He has warmed up to me, and after being gone for a week he really wants to snuggle. And have his ears scratched.

The other cat has had a variety of names. He came to us called Penguin, as he looked all black with a bit of white on his chest. But he had very thin fur and the white was his skin showing through. We started calling him Peanut because he was so small. And his fur grew in and he is really a black and dark brown tabby. Then my husband said he looked like a cat from his childhood which his mother had named Zdpot (which is what you take for the 'ackers'). He is a lot less cuddly and has a tendency to bite.

Our cat/house sitter didn't put up with his crap and smacks his nose when he tries to bite her. She also calls him TD for 'The Devil'.

 

Yes that is clean laundry he is sitting on. Can you see it in his eyes? He as a tendency to leave us little gifts and came with ear mites which he shared with Boots. Both came out of foster situations, but they show signs they will be friends, or frenemies, as cat are. They chase each other around an then smack each other and the sleep in a pile of paws and tails.

 

And they are a nice welcoming committee when we come through the door. What I need often.



 

A difficult decision

We left last Saturday on a two week family vacation. We returned this morning. Why? Because I am done putting up with my sister's crap. She has made much of my life miserable. How? Let me count the ways.

In junior high or high school, back when I was experimenting with make up, one day I got to the bus stop with her and evidently had a bit of eye shadow on my nose. Did she say something to me? No, instead she got everyone else at the bus stop to make fun of me and then after school complained to my mother that I embarrassed her in public. Yes this was a long time ago but this is an example of the kind of thing I grew up with.

I asked her once to give me to give a ride to an appointment that I could not miss. I also had surgical drains in and couldn't drive. Could she get me there on time? No. And when I called her constantly to find out when she would be there to pick me up, thinking I might need to drive myself when I shouldn't, she didn't pick up my call because she was yakking with a friend and just kept ignoring my calls. I have never asked her to drive me to a single medical appointment since. I will take a cab or a bus before asking her again.

When she was my maid of honor (because she is my sister I asked her), she called me about three weeks before the wedding asking wasn't she supposed to help me with invitations or anything. I hadn't asked her to do that because I couldn't depend on her to help.

She is chronically late for everything. Nothing like showing up for Thanksgiving dinner two hours late with no good reason. And not answering the phone when I call her to ask when she will be there. Or telling me she is on the way, when she hasn't left. She does all those things to me regularly, when I bother to have contact with her now. She doesn't reply to emails, texts, and voice mails and then whines when she didn't know about something. I think she does this to a lot of people sometimes but to me all the time.

Last weekend the first night of our vacation, the five of us went out to dinner - me, my husband, my sister, and my parents. My husband and I went first got a table because they didn't take reservations and we didn't want my parents to have to stand around waiting for a table. I called my sister to see where she and my parents were. The first time I called she ignored my questions and wouldn't give me an answer. The second time she just read the names of the signs that they were going by (why that was supposed to be helpful I have no idea). The third call she again ignored my questions and wouldn't tell me where they were. I hung up.

Yesterday became the last straw because I just cant take it any more. We were on a family vacation and each of the three of us, my brother included, were paying for food and taking turns cooking each night. She had to go back to work for a couple of days and came back Wednesday night. Last night I asked her if she was going to cook dinner one night and she said something along the lines of 'she wasn't sure'. Then she pouted in her room while the rest of us were eating dinner because I got mad at her for picking on my mother all the time. My brother asked her to apologize to me for the way she acted, last night and other times. She rolled her eyes and seemed appalled that she needed to apologize at all. I was done.

I would have left last night but since I had wine with dinner I was not going to drive a car. We got up and left by 5am to avoid the worst of Boston traffic. My father talked to me and asked me not to leave because its family. I hate to disappoint anyone but she doesn't treat me like family. This morning my brother got up to say good bye. My sister also got up and asked me not to leave, after the cars were packed, and I told her she should have treated me better for the last twenty years - actually I should have said for my whole life. I don't think she really thought I would leave.

It was a difficult decision but I really do not have time in my life to put up with anyone's crap. And I don't have to worry about her reading my blog because I don't think she even knows I have a blog. The only family member who actually reads my blog is my mother and I think she hasn't been reading it as frequently.

I reread this and wonder am I wrong? Am I making a big deal out of  nothing? Is it wrong to expect cordial relations with family members? Is it wrong to expect messages not to be ignored? Is it wrong to expect some sort of punctuality at get-togethers? Is it wrong to expect respect for others?

Please stop changing your mind!

The news: saturated fats not bad, trans fats very bad. Now they tell us. Thank you.

Does this mean all old research will eventually be turned upside down and we can eat ice cream and chocolate every day? I find this very irritating. Its just not fair to all of us who make dietary choices now and then find out later they were wrong and we could have ignored the advice.

Actually what really annoys me is that this also happens with medical advice and it turns out whatever procedure you had was completely unnecessary.

But it is the price we pay for progress sometimes. Even though it is irritating.

Further addition to the cancer hall of shame

These stories just irk the crap out of me - people faking cancer to get money or sympathy. The latest is a now-former beauty queen from Pennsylvania who told everyone she had CLL (chronic lymphocytic leukemia) in 2013. But the police didn't buy it. She couldn't remember her doctor's name. Nor did she lose her hair. Now she spent the night in jail and is facing felony charges.

Nothing less than what she deserved as far as I am concerned. Fines and more jail would help as well.

I really do not understand this. People who fake diseases for sympathy? They remind me of the fakers who stand at traffic lights with poorly written signs claiming they are vets with disabilities or homeless (even though they look  nicely showered and clean), etc, begging for handouts, then ending their days in a brand new car driving home to their fancy house. There are people who do this and really are poor or disabled but their credibility has been destroyed by the fakers.

How unfortunate that some people play on the trust of others to use them. Wait that sounds like politics. Or big business. Did I say that?

Forcing business accountability

There is a new bill in Massachusetts which would require pharmaceutical manufacturers to disclose their costs in order to justify high prices on new medications. Hmmmm.... Do you think it would fly? I hope it would.

"An alliance of lawmakers, consumers, and health insurers is pushing for a law that would force biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies to justify their prices by disclosing how much they spend on research, production, and marketing. It also would allow the state’s Health Policy Commission to limit the prices of especially costly drugs, something not done anywhere in the country...."

"The bill cites “substantial public interest” in what goes into the prices of such medicines. Drug makers would be required to disclose, among other things, their development and marketing outlays, how much research was paid for with public funds, their manufacturing costs, and the prices of their drugs in other countries. It would also empower the commission, which is charged with holding down health care costs, to impose cost controls on some high-priced drugs."

Of course the pharma companies are not too happy about this. They claim it would reduce innovation. Okay, I get it. They don't want anyone snooping into their finances. But as far as I am concerned, if they get public funding, they need to be open about their pricing and use of the money.

If they choose not to get public funding, which they all do, then as far as I am concerned, there would need to be a bit more justification for the prices.

For decades, pharma manufacturers have been able to set their prices and the US has not negotiated with them, leaving Americans pinched by high prices. In recent years, new medications have cost tens or hundreds of thousands each year per patient for rare cancers or other ailments.

Someone has to create an onus for the manufacturers to justify their prices instead of just allowing them to ask for what they want. They try to justify it by saying their costs are high and hardly anyone pays the full prices because of insurance coverage or discounts from the manufacturers. That just isn't enough. They need to provide some kind of back up for their requests.

Okay, that's just my 2 cents, as usual.

A big step back in the flabbiness fight

Unfortunately I had a big step back in the flabbiness fight. I really did some damage to my knee (and forgot to blog about it) when I was only trying to water the plants in the back yard and fell when (or because) my knee bent sideways. I didn't break anything but I am now the (not so) proud owner of a lovely knee brace to prevent further sideways movement.

The knee doctor gave me the lovely brace and sent me for PT and said come back in two months and we will see what's going on then. On the good side, I can do my PT at the gym for dilapidated people where I go and not have to bombard my schedule with three times a week appointments for PT. I can go once and get my exercises and then do them when I want, there or at home.. On the bad side, if I don't wear my brace, my knee keeps giving out and I have to wait until I could get an appointment with a physical therapist at the gym.

I will go for my first PT appointment shortly and hope to be able to get back to some exercising. I haven't been exercising and am very concerned about the flabbiness fight. I can't just go for a walk these days. I haven't dared to go to the gym until I saw the knee doctor. And now after speaking with the gym about my knee, their advice was to wait until I see their physical therapist and set up knee exercises before trying too much.

So I am sitting around on my ass too often. I am also closely watching my food consumption to prevent further flabbification. And my knee gives out way too often if I am not wearing the (stupid) knee brace (will I get tan lines from it?) so that I got a second smaller knee brace to wear in bed.

Okay its not cancer, but its a royal pain in the ass. Do I get some sympathy? I can just start whining?

Fighting fatigue

These days I go through life fighting fatigue. I never seem to get caught up on my sleep. I prefer not to nap too often so that I can sleep all night. And I have prescription sleep aids to help me sleep through the night - which makes a huge difference.

Every day it seems I get to a point where my body is saying 'sleep' and my mind is saying "don't, you are driving a car" or "You are at work"... You see the problem.

Last night we went out to dinner and then I needed to sleep. Earlier in the day, I fought off fatigue while driving (and didn't fall asleep). A cup of coffee doesn't always help me with the fatigue and I really do not want to drink coffee all day because then I will never sleep at night. But if I am at work, I have resorted to coffee.

Right now I am doing okay. I got about 11.5 hours of sleep and am drinking coffee. But I may nap later.

More wonderful medical news

Of course, I get all the fun stuff. I have both rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia. It never ceases to amaze me that some people do not know what either are. Yes, Virginia there are disgustingly healthy people out there who do not know about yucky unhealthy stuff.

So it overjoys me to read new research about my ailments. Especially when I find research that says the really lucky people who have both RA and fibro, have many more problems with RA than people without fibro.

One article is titled: Fibromyalgia Symptoms May Mimic High Disease Activity in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis. That title sort of says it all doesn't it? So even if I don't really have high disease activity, I will just feel like I do.

This article is from Egypt and is titled: The Impact of fibromyalgia on disease assessment in rheumatoid arthritis. I has some lovely charts and tables that compile the list of issues.

Table 2. Somatic manifestations of studied rheumatoid arthritis patients.

Somatic manifestations percentage (%)	Patients		P value
	RAF (25)	RA (25)
Widespread pain	100	28	less than 0.001
Sleep disturbance	68	32	0.011
Fatigue	92	52	0.002
Morning stiffness	56	36	0.156
Headache	56	24	0.021
Depression	88	40	less than 0.001
Anxiety	72	40	less than 0.001
Parasthesia	76	32	0.002
Cognitive symptoms	56	16	0.003
Dysmenorrhea	20	20	1
Irritable bowel syndrome	16	4	0.157

RAF: rheumatoid arthritis with concomitant fibromyalgia, RA: rheumatoid arthritis.

When I was diagnosed with both RA and fibro, my doctor told me I probably would not be able to tell which ailment caused which pain. Sometimes I can but sometimes I can't. And sometimes I just don't care.

But now that I know fibro makes my RA feel worse, I'm not going to suck it up. I think I should switch to chronic whininess. I think chronic whininess outweighs chronic pain. Some research news inspires whininess.

Symptoms of stomach cancer

General information on stomach cancer
The stomach cancer of malignant cancers, which arise from the lining of the stomach, it is often stomach cancer in stages primitive preceded by ulcers, pain, and inflammation slightly in the stomach, there is a significant drop in the number of people with stomach cancer during the last 60 years, Hate at the American Cancer Society , the number of new infected cases and deaths from stomach cancer in 2012 in the United

States as follows:
New cases: 21.320

Help diagnostic means for the diagnosis of gall bladder cancer

Diagnostic help diagnose gallbladder cancer means
  1. sonar or ultrasound examination: In short, this is a simple examination of prey and is subject to the frequency and degree of precision which exceed ninety percent, and is the first method in the diagnosis of gallbladder cancer.
  2. X-ray CT: CIA T-rays or CT scans for early gallbladder cancer is not like sonar in the diagnostic power. But when you examine the sonar and doubt in the possibility of injury gall bladder cancer must-ray CT scan work with the dye, if the cancer broke liver or lymph tissue surrounding it clearly appear in the CT scan.
  3. MRI MRI: Magnetic resonance usually is not used as a way optimal as checking or inevitable, and we need him just to make sure the transition to the liver tumor, has been thinking about making this examination when the symptoms of jaundice patient. Equal diagnostic accuracy with CT scans, but it is characterized as a safe, non-radioactive and can be replicated.
  4. Scan PET-CT: is used for the qualitative examination, after that rule out acute cholecystitis, this examination for tumors bitterness benefit qualitative diagnosis, as well as help to ensure the presence of disease or pathological changes outside the gallbladder.
  5. laboratory tests: When the cancerous changes in the gallbladder usually accompanied by a rise in tumors detectors. An examination of tumors detectors and height enhances the quality to make sure the diagnostic gallbladder cancer, but in the early stages may not be high.
  The diagnosis of gall bladder cancer
  Early symptoms are atypical and the diagnosis is difficult with it. Many of the patients to have symptoms similar to chronic inflammation of the gallbladder or gallstones. Pain in the right upper abdomen and mainly spread to the right shoulder and is accompanied by loss of appetite, and chill and swelling of the abdomen simple, fever and nausea, as well as jaundice and other symptoms.
  For women over the age of forty who have a history of patients with chronic cholecystitis, or gallstones, Flo was sporadic pain and then evolved into persistent pain or non-continuous satisfaction pain difficult to define in the top right of the abdomen and then intensified with time, was touching nugget into bitterness, and the back jaundice more and more weight loss clearly must think in the gallbladder cancer. Late symptoms of gallbladder cancer may be amplified or liver tumor in the liver, edema of the abdomen, as well as malnutrition and general weakness, has been mixed with a diagnosis of cancer of the liver or pancreas.
  1. Many patients appear to have lost weight and fatigue and a state of malnutrition and weakness.
  2. Some patients appear to have Nqilat cancer to the lymph node above the wishbone, or Nqilat to breast and others.
  3. In the latter cases: can cause pressure on the portal vein in the incidence of bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract as well as ascites and symptoms of the collapse of the functions of the liver.
  Experts advise in the modern hospital for diseases Asertan- Qguanjo: upon detection of a tumor in the gallbladder or inflation in the wall of the gall bladder patient needs to be conducted tests to make sure of his gall bladder cancer.

Traditional methods of treatment for colon cancer

Is a colon cancer the biggest threat to patients, and now can treat colon cancer through surgery, chemotherapy and immunotherapy cell to improve the lives of patients with colon cancer, and it limits the repercussions of colon cancer and help patients to return to the disposal of the health crisis healthy life.
Traditional methods of treatment for colon cancer
The first surgical operation .alalaj
Between each treatment of colon cancer tops the surgical removal methods integrated with chemotherapy and radiation therapy before the
Scientific, and in order to improve surgical removal rate and survival rate and reduce the likelihood of relapse.

Second . Chemotherapy
Nearly half of all patients suffering from colon cancer metastasis and relapse after surgery. It should be delayed for patients with cancer and who may Tlqon surgery to resort to chemotherapy. Between all treatments of chemotherapy is an important measure.
1. chemotherapy program is integrated with intravenous infusion
Chemotherapy for colon cancer program take FU-5 basis tetrahydrofolate and is considered an important factor improved.
2. Integrated with chemotherapy medication by mouth
Integrated chemotherapy with taking medications (especially Florobairmedin) Oral contribute in the fight against colon cancer, and turn to this article fluorouracil after digested for 5-1 times, thus reducing the cancer to some extent. In clinical medicine it is characterized by an integrated chemical method of treatment with medication by mouth with good results and the lack of negative reaction and ease of administration. Patients can receive treatment at the clinic, and that the elderly can receive family chemotherapy, so this therapeutic method may become a new wave of anti-colon cancer.
The new technology for the treatment of colon cancer - immune cell therapy
Thanks to the development of medical technology options may become colon cancer patients before wider. Advanced cellular immunotherapy reduces the damage that the right of the cancer to human health. Cellular immunotherapy of contemporary medical achievements of the great style and plays an important role in the treatment of cancer.
Guangzhou Modern Hospital experts pointed to discuss the tumors that cellular immune method of treatment depends on the immune system and diagnose cancer cells and immune seamlessly, which improves the performance of resistance to tumor diseases, thanks to these immune cells, and this so-called "principle of the exploitation of the patient's cells to treat himself." In normal circumstances, with inflation and the spread of tumor cells in the human body, and the increasing growth of immune cells is affected, so the doctors prepare large quantity of immune cells outside the body to be transported to it later and kill cancer cells in an orderly fashion. This method also limits the expansion and spread of malignant tumors effectively, so taken by way of remedial college experts do not have serious side effects on the human body free of any pain. In short the cellular immune therapy is a method more effective and safer therapy assistant now.
The advantages of cellular immunotherapy
Cellular immune method of treatment for colon cancer depends on extracting immune cells (CIK-DC) of the patient's body and move it out of the body after preparation, and this contributes to the improvement of the immune in the patient's body and improve the ability of the fight against cancer. The most important is that the immune cells (CIK) is estimated to kill cancer cells even fully achieve the purpose of treatment.
Advantages of Cellular immunotherapy is in two aspects:
First. Cellular immunotherapy method is a shareholder in a comprehensive therapeutic immune comprehensively improve the style.
Second. The use of cellular immune therapy to kill cancer cells style on a large scale until disposed of completely, which avoids relapse and improves health status.

For surgery for ovarian cancer

Surgery for ovarian cancer
Guangzhou Modern Hospital experts pointed to discuss the tumors that many of the roads used to get rid of ovarian cancer, such as radiation therapy and surgery, chemotherapy and Chinese medicine treatment. With successful clinical trials for the treatment of clinical immune cell, you will witness the treatment of ovarian cancer in the more mature technologies of the future.

Surgery for ovarian cancer
The surgery is the best way to treat ovarian cancer, but they often can not remove the remaining small lesions in the bodies of patients with the possibility of relapse of disease.
Radiation therapy for ovarian cancer
The results of radiation therapy vary depending on the types of malignant tumors, and asexual Baknbaraa more sensitive to radiation treatment, while the degree of granule cells are sensitive and tumor epithelial medium. After external radiation process is cleared of the remaining lesions in the pelvis. For patients who suffer from residual lesions is serious, it is possible to receive radionuclides after the operation for 7 to 14 days.
Chemotherapy for ovarian cancer
The chemotherapy for ovarian cancer therapeutic way to help. Experts point out that surgical removal of the tumor is difficult and receive chemical process cycle or two in advance improves surgical removal. It also prevents receive chemotherapy after surgery relapse. If not comprehensive eradication thus he received chemical process provides temporary comfort and prolong the length of stay for patients. Chemotherapy reduces the size of the tumor and driven, thereby creating excellent conditions for re-operation.
The treatment of ovarian cancer Chinese Medicine
The treatment of ovarian cancer Chinese medicine depends on the total concept of internal secretion is regulated in a comprehensive manner. Blood is the basis of material for menstruation, and disrupted the function of viscera influenced by blood circulation and other functions, causing various women's diseases.
Cellular immunotherapy for ovarian cancer
After years of studies and clinical trials, the medical field, received a distinct therapeutic way, any immune cell therapy, which depends on the immune system is able to diagnose cancer and immune cells, thus achieving the goal of the treatment of neoplastic diseases, thanks to these immune cells. Believe the old adage "the exploitation of the patient's cells to treat himself."
The advantages of cellular immune therapy for ovarian cancer:
1. kills cancer cells and there are no side effects or damaged healthy cells in the body.
2. achieve effective control of cancerous tumors and Iqlsa and prevents Anbthatha and relapse of cancer.
3. achieves partial control of pests and improves the clinical symptoms and relieve the suffering of patients and the quality of life rise

Encyclopedia complete information about Asertan..anoall, its causes and treatment

The human body is composed of different cells in the forms and functions. Simplified each cell contains the external casing and the nucleus, and in the nucleus of basic cell reservation information. This information in fact be present in the DNA molecule DNA - deoxyribonucleic acid. DNA contains 26 chromosomes, which in turn is made up of millions of genes. These genes are determined by the system and method of work of the cell.

During some of our body cells die naturally and the body compensates for this lack of cells by division. When the cell division to produce another version of the DNA and then divided into two cells. This is what happens in the cell in a simplified manner as the division process more complicated than that. Usually split cells on a regular basis so that our bodies growth or to replace or repair damaged tissue happen. When the cells are working as planned, we enjoy good health but when that system breaks down, we get sick. In the case of cancer, abnormal cells grow and instead of just compensation for damaged cells, those cells multiply dramatically and non-stop outweighed the patient and the problem of so-called tumor.
Tumors that result from this imbalance are two types:

Benign tumors (non-cancerous Benign): It usually be coated membrane and non-proliferation, but some may cause problems by the patient especially if they are large and the impact would be infected by clicking on the member or members close to them, preventing them from functioning normally. These tumors can be removed surgically or treated with drugs or radiation to shrink in size and it is sufficient to heal them and often do not come back again.

Malignant tumors (cancerous Malignant): is the subject of the site. Cancerous tumors attack and destroy the cells and the surrounding tissue and has a high capacity to spread. It is spread in three ways

Direct spread of the tissue and organs surrounding the infected user
Through the lymphatic system.
Through the blood, where separate cell (or cells) from the initial tumor Primary and transmitted by Allmphoui device or blood to other organs far enough to settle in somewhere -galba rich members of the blood such as lung, liver or Almufawiyeh- decade, causing the growth of cancerous tumors and other called secondary tumors Secondary.

Cancer is a group of diseases (more than 100 disease) are similar in some characteristics among them, it has been named cancer because the swollen blood vessels around the tumor-like parties lobster. This disease or these diseases are caused by cell out of control. A change in the cell, making it out for control system that controls the work of the cell, as happens in healthy cells. There are more than theory attributed to them the reason for the beginning of cancer in the body. The first says that something goes wrong in the DNA at the division which is called the condition "shift" or mutation. The incidence of error in the DNA at the division more than increasing exposure to carcinogens such as tar in cigarette smoke. Many of these causes of altered errors occur in the human body, but the immune system in the body recognize them because they differ from the rest of the cells and destroy them. Sometimes the immune system fails to identify those cells to their similarity with the rest of the cells to divide and cause whereupon the presence of cancer.
One recent theory is that the reason is the presence of a genetic defect can not be simple for the immune system of observation and the imbalance with time cause the exit of the cell control and then the emergence of cancer. This theory explain the emergence of some types of tumors in more than one individual of the same family.

Carcinogens Carcinogens:
Whether there was a genetic defect or not, there are well-known causes of cancer and is divided into three sections:

Physical carcinogenic particles such as radioactive isotopes, UV and some of the metal fiber Mineral fibers. The isotope work holes nucleic acid when exposed her, causing imbalance in gene regulation. Come isotope of X-rays, cosmic rays that reach the earth and radon (found naturally in the earth varying degrees) and so indirectly. The UV and that comes from the sun caused the thread of some proteins in the DNA when they should not have to be as well as causing a defect in the DNA. Some of the fibers of metals such as asbestos cause direct destruction of DNA because of their large size.
Chemical carcinogens such as the Benzopyrene found in cigarette smoke and the vinyl chloride used in the plastics industry, where molecules are associated with DNA, causing the imbalance.
Carcinogens, biological, such as viruses or bacteria which cause a defect in the cell turns up to a cell cancerous. Examples of viruses, human papilloma virus which causes cervical cancer, and hepatitis virus B (hepatitis B virus), which causes liver cancer, the most common among men in Saudi Arabia cancers. The types of bacteria helicobacter pylori, which causes stomach cancer.
Cancer passes through growth in three main phases:
Initially (Initiation): This is the first step towards the formation of a tumor begins where the cell level seemed to change in their work and the method of control in this work substances that cause this initially called carcinogens (carcinogens).

20 thousand Jordanian cancer patient in 2020

AMMAN Algd- an international conference to blood diseases, confirmed concluded its work in Amman recently, and organized by the Society of Hematology in the Medical Association, the importance of early detection of cancer, and the importance of preventive medicine, and increase awareness of the dangers of this serious disease.
The chairman of the conference, President of the Association, Dr. Salah Abassi, and works in the King Hussein Cancer Center, that cancer patients in Jordan "is growing, and by 20% annually," expected to jump the number of people year from cancer in 2020 to about 20 thousand, pointing out that the last count of the number of patients 2011 Jordan was about five thousand injured.
And between Dr Abbasi that the conference, which lasted three days and participated by a large number of doctors from 17 countries, discussed the 26 lecture and scientific symposium, which included various blood cancers, such as leukemia acute leukemia, and leukemia, chronic blood, and cancers of the lymph glands, diseases of benign blood, Add to another conclusion reached by science in blood diseases and Srtanadtha, and the cultivation of the spinal cord stem cells, Kalnsev and stroke morbidity and platelets.
He noted that this conference is the third of the Assembly, said "all the conferences won greatly admired in the Jordanian, Arab and international medical arena."
And the price of the State to treat cancer patients Jordanians free of charge, a high cost to treat disease, with the expectation that there is no Jordanian patient Baltlasemia year 2020.
For her part, President of the Scientific Committee of the Conference and Assembly Dr. Ghadir Abdeen indicated that an excellent selection of lecturers "participated in the conference, and various leading countries in this key medical specialty," emphasizing the importance of education, she said, "here the role of the media in this area comes to increase awareness of this serious illness ".
She emphasized that the number of cancer patients is increasing, and for reasons, including the lack of early detection and environmental pollution, smoking, of all kinds and many other reasons

How cancer spreads

Scientists attributed the spread of cancer to the change in the properties of cancer cell adhesion (molecular interactions between cells and scaffolds that keep cells in their places), making it untangled adhesion for its original position (the original tumor site) and Anfeladtha then driven to stick in a new location.
In general, the more malignant cells (agility) from healthy cells are more easily able to transit between smaller Alvadwat also show greater control over their surroundings compared to other cells.
Learn how to spread important because cancer caused by this disease mortality mainly to see metastatic tumors and only 10% of cancer deaths resulting from the initial tumors. This, scientists say that finding a way to prevent cancer cells from attaching to new sites can stop the growth of

All you need to know about the most serious human diseases, cancer

... Cancer is a wide range of diseases that include irregular cell growth .. In cancer, cells divide and grow without any control by the problem of malignant tumor and invade surrounding tissue.

Cancer also spread to parts farther from the body through the lymphatic and circulatory system. Not all cancerous tumors, benign tumors do not invade nearby tissues or spread through the body, there are more than 200 types of cancer in humans.

The reasons are many and complex cancer is almost no completely understood, a lot of factors are believed to cause increased risk of cancer, such as smoking and nutritional factors and exposure to radiation, obesity and some natural pollutants.

These factors can directly sabotage the genes or genetic union with strikes exist in cells to cause cancerous mutations, approximately 5-10% of cancers can be replayed directly to inherited genetic disorders.

Beauties are of strong: women Antsrn on cancer

Many cancers can protect them not to smoke and eat the largest of vegetables and fruits, whole grains quantities and eat less meat and refined carbohydrates and maintain a healthy weight and exercise and reduce sun exposure and taken it some vaccines against infectious diseases.

It can detect cancer in several ways and the presence of several signs and symptoms by endoscopy radiographic examinations and medical diagnostic imaging. When the suspicion of cancer is diagnosed by microscopic examination of a sample of the infected tissue.

Often treats cancer chemotherapy, radiation and surgical treatment. Chances of survival of the disease vary widely depending on the type and location of the cancer and its breadth at the beginning of treatment. While cancer affects all ages, the types of it are more common in children, and the risk usually increases with aging. In 2007, cancer claimed the lives of 7.6 million people in the world or 13% of all deaths.

That was just an introduction to cancer and now we will start to talk in a detailed, Saddle belts ..
