By Annabel Fisher<br />
<em>Are you making yourself sick because you can’t say “No”? <br />
<br />
When I was giving an interview recently, I talked about how setting healthy boundaries can prevent long-term physical pain and illness. I’ve considered this a lot lately, because it seems that most of the work I do with clients is based around feeling safe enough to set boundaries and avoid compromise....</em></td></tr>

Synthetic fabrics – nylon, polyester, fleece, gore-tex, spandex, acrylic, olefin, vinyon, etc. – are synthesized solely from chemical compounds. Often they are plastics made from petrochemicals. The reason they’re harmful is they leach chemicals and xenohormones (like xenoestrogens) into your body, through the pores of your skin:...</td></tr>

However, using a combination of targeted natural therapies there can be relief, and often considerable lessening, or even elimination of the scar tissue build-up that comprises a stricture.<br />
<br />
Strictures are usually the result of an overgrowth of bad bacteria in the intestines, which causes repeated infection, inflammation and scarring. Thus it is REALLY important to eliminate the pathogens using <em>Jini’s Wild Oregano Oil Protocol</em> and very high dose probiotics.</td></tr>

<br />
So, to start with, let’s get really clear about what I mean when I say, “diluted” wild oregano oil. All commercial wild oregano oil (like Joy Of The Mountains or NAHS brand) are already diluted in a carrier oil like olive oil. This is because you cannot use <em>essential</em> oil of oregano directly on the skin – it must always be diluted before use. So the commercial brands are usually already diluted with 3 parts olive oil to 1 part essential oregano oil.</td></tr>

Of course, decay is rather a top priority when it comes to your teeth, but once that's handled, other concerns emerge - like the color of your teeth.<br />
A child's deciduous teeth are generally whiter than the adult teeth that follow. Then, as a person ages the adult teeth often become darker due to changes in the mineral structure of the tooth, as the enamel becomes less porous. Teeth can also become stained by bacterial pigments, foodstuffs and tobacco. Certain antibiotic medications (like tetracycline) can also lead to teeth stains or a reduction in the brilliance of the enamel.</td></tr>

<div>Also called: Benign cancer, Benign neoplasms, Noncancerous tumors<br />
Tumors are abnormal growths in your body. They are made up of extra cells. Normally, old cells die, and new ones take their place. Sometimes, however, this process goes wrong. New cells form even when you don't need them, and old cells don't die when they should. When these extra cells form a mass, it is called a tumor.<br />
Tumors can be either benign or malignant. Benign tumors aren't cancer. Malignant ones are. Benign tumors grow only in one place. They cannot spread or invade other parts of your body. Even so, they can be dangerous if they press on vital organs, such your brain.<br />
Treatment often involves surgery. Benign tumors usually don't grow back.</div></div>lakkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10158774591763436544noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777718562392350890.post-76392405917509779092011-06-01T00:40:00.001-07:002011-06-01T00:40:11.993-07:00Skin Cancer<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><h3 class="post-title entry-title"><br />

Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States. The two most common types are basal cell cancer and squamous cell cancer. They usually form on the head, face, neck, hands and arms. Another type of skin cancer, <a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/melanoma.html">melanoma</a>, is more dangerous but less common.<br />
Anyone can get skin cancer, but it is more common in people who<br />
Spend a lot of time in the <a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/sunexposure.html">sun</a> or have been sunburned<br />
Have light-colored skin, hair and eyes<br />
Have a family member with skin cancer<br />
Are over age 50<br />
You should have your doctor check any suspicious skin markings and any changes in the way your skin looks. Treatment is more likely to work well when cancer is found early. If not treated, some types of skin cancer cells can spread to other tissues and organs. </div></div>lakkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10158774591763436544noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777718562392350890.post-25706887124313701852011-06-01T00:39:00.002-07:002011-06-01T00:39:40.662-07:00Anal Cancer<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><h3 class="post-title entry-title"><br />

Anal cancer is a rare type of cancer. The anus is where stool leaves your body when you go to the bathroom. It is made up of your outer layers of skin and the end of your large intestine. Anal cancer is a disease in which cancer cells form in the tissues of the anus.<br />
Symptoms include bleeding, pain or lumps in the anal area. Anal itching and discharge can also be signs of anal cancer. Possible treatments include radiation, chemotherapy and surgery. Your treatment will depend whether the tumor has spread, and on the type, size and location of the tumor.</div></div>lakkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10158774591763436544noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777718562392350890.post-38629951337971549662011-06-01T00:39:00.000-07:002011-06-01T00:39:04.405-07:00Cancer Alternative Therapies<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><h3 class="post-title entry-title"><br />

You have many choices to make about your cancer treatment. One choice you might be thinking about is <a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/complementaryandalternativemedicine.html">complementary and alternative medicine</a> (CAM). CAM is the term for medical products and practices that are not part of standard care. Standard care is what medical doctors, doctors of osteopathy, and allied health professionals, such as registered nurses and physical therapists, practice. Alternative medicine means treatments that you use instead of standard ones. Complementary medicine means nonstandard treatments that you use along with standard ones. Examples of CAM therapies are <a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/acupuncture.html">acupuncture,</a> <a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/chiropractic.html">chiropractic</a>, and <a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/herbalmedicine.html">herbal medicines</a>.<br />
CAM treatments do not work for everyone, but some methods such as acupuncture might help with nausea, pain and other side effects of cancer treatment. In general, researchers know more about the safety and effectiveness of standard cancer treatments than they do about CAM. To make sure nothing gets in the way of your cancer care, talk to your doctor before you try anything new.</div>lakkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10158774591763436544noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777718562392350890.post-79575591059215241742011-06-01T00:38:00.001-07:002011-06-01T00:38:32.976-07:00Benign Tumors<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><h3 class="post-title entry-title"><br />

<div>Also called: Benign cancer, Benign neoplasms, Noncancerous tumors<br />
Tumors are abnormal growths in your body. They are made up of extra cells. Normally, old cells die, and new ones take their place. Sometimes, however, this process goes wrong. New cells form even when you don't need them, and old cells don't die when they should. When these extra cells form a mass, it is called a tumor.<br />
Tumors can be either benign or malignant. Benign tumors aren't cancer. Malignant ones are. Benign tumors grow only in one place. They cannot spread or invade other parts of your body. Even so, they can be dangerous if they press on vital organs, such your brain.<br />
Treatment often involves surgery. Benign tumors usually don't grow back</div></div>lakkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10158774591763436544noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777718562392350890.post-12824788797982275532011-06-01T00:37:00.005-07:002011-06-01T00:37:59.064-07:00Breast Cancer<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><h2 class="date-header"><span></span></h2><div class="date-posts"> <div class="post-outer"> <div class="post hentry uncustomized-post-template"> <a href="" name="6147551161889336085"></a> <h3 class="post-title entry-title"><br />

Breast cancer affects one in eight women during their lives. Breast cancer kills more women in the United States than any cancer except lung cancer. No one knows why some women get breast cancer, but there are a number of risk factors. Risks that you cannot change include<br />
Age - the chance of getting breast cancer rises as a woman gets older<br />
Genes - there are two genes, BRCA1 and BRCA2, that greatly increase the risk. Women who have family members with breast or ovarian cancer may wish to be tested.<br />
Personal factors - beginning periods before age 12 or going through menopause after age 55<br />
Other risks include being overweight, using hormone replacement therapy, taking birth control pills, drinking alcohol, not having children or having your first child after age 35 or having dense breasts.<br />
Symptoms of breast cancer may include a lump in the breast, a change in size or shape of the breast or discharge from a nipple. Breast self-exam and <a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/mammography.html">mammography</a> can help find breast cancer early when it is most treatable. Treatment may consist of radiation, lumpectomy, <a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/mastectomy.html">mastectomy</a>, chemotherapy and hormone therapy.<br />
<a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/malebreastcancer.html">Men</a> can have breast cancer, too, but the number of cases is small.</div></div></div></div></div></div>lakkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10158774591763436544noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777718562392350890.post-77866412647041811402011-06-01T00:37:00.003-07:002011-06-01T00:37:22.457-07:00Male Breast Cancer<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><h3 class="post-title entry-title"><br />

Male breast cancer is rare. It happens most often to men between the ages of 60 and 70. Risk factors for male breast cancer include exposure to radiation, a family history of breast cancer and having high estrogen levels, which can occur with diseases like cirrhosis or <a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/klinefelterssyndrome.html">Klinefelter's syndrome</a>.<br />
Symptoms of male breast cancer include lumps, changes to the nipple or breast skin, or discharge of fluid from the nipple. Treatment for male breast cancer is usually a <a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/mastectomy.html">mastectomy</a>, which is surgery to remove the breast.

<div>Also called: Bronchogenic carcinoma<br />
Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world. It is a leading cause of cancer death in men and women in the United States. Cigarette smoking causes most lung cancers. The more cigarettes you smoke per day and the earlier you started smoking, the greater your risk of lung cancer. High levels of pollution, radiation and asbestos exposure may also increase risk.<br />
Common symptoms of lung cancer include<br />
A cough that doesn't go away and gets worse over time<br />
Constant chest pain<br />
Coughing up blood<br />
Shortness of breath, wheezing, or hoarseness<br />
Repeated problems with pneumonia or bronchitis<br />
Swelling of the neck and face<br />
Loss of appetite or weight loss<br />
Fatigue<br />
There are many types of lung cancer. Each type of lung cancer grows and spreads in different ways and is treated differently. Treatment also depends on the stage, or how advanced it is. Treatment may include chemotherapy, radiation and surgery.</div></div>lakkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10158774591763436544noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777718562392350890.post-37002173629500778052011-06-01T00:36:00.001-07:002011-06-01T00:36:07.698-07:00Cancer Chemotherapy<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><h3 class="post-title entry-title"><br />

Normally, your cells grow and die in a controlled way. <a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/cancer.html">Cancer</a> cells keep forming without control. Chemotherapy is drug therapy that can stop these cells from multiplying. However, it can also harm healthy cells, which causes side effects.<br />
During chemotherapy you may have no side effects or just a few. The kinds of side effects you have depend on the type and dose of chemotherapy you get. Side effects vary, but common ones are nausea, vomiting, tiredness, pain and hair loss. Healthy cells usually recover after chemotherapy, so most side effects gradually go away.<br />
Your course of therapy will depend on the cancer type, the chemotherapy drugs used, the treatment goal and how your body responds. You may get treatment every day, every week or every month. You may have breaks between treatments so that your body has a chance to build new healthy cells. You might take the drugs by mouth, in a shot or intravenously.</div></div>lakkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10158774591763436544noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777718562392350890.post-67531176176723775032011-06-01T00:35:00.001-07:002011-06-01T00:35:33.884-07:00Cancer in Children<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><h3 class="post-title entry-title"><br />

Cancer begins in the cells, which are the building blocks of your body. Normally, new cells form as you need them, replacing old cells that die. Sometimes, this process goes wrong. New cells form when you don't need them, and old cells don't die when they should. The extra cells can form a tumor. Benign tumors aren't cancer while malignant ones are. Malignant tumor cells can invade nearby tissues or break away and spread to other parts of the body.<br />
Children can get cancer in the same parts of the body as adults, but there are differences. Childhood cancers can occur suddenly, without early symptoms, and have a high rate of cure. The most common children's cancer is <a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/leukemiachildhood.html">leukemia</a>. Other cancers that affect children include <a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/childhoodbraintumors.html">brain tumors</a>, <a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/lymphoma.html">lymphoma</a>, and <a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/softtissuesarcoma.html">soft tissue sarcoma</a>. Symptoms and treatment depend on the cancer type and how advanced it is. Treatment may include surgery, radiation and/or chemotherapy. </div></div>lakkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10158774591763436544noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777718562392350890.post-58660700218090368102011-06-01T00:34:00.000-07:002011-06-01T00:34:17.092-07:00Cancer--Living with Cancer<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><h3 class="post-title entry-title"><br />

Millions of Americans alive today have a history of cancer and had successful treatment. For them, cancer has become an ongoing health problem, like high blood pressure or diabetes.<br />
For most people with cancer, living with the disease is the biggest challenge they have ever faced. The disease changes your routines, roles and relationships. It can cause money and work problems. The treatment can change the way you feel and look. This page includes information on different aspects of living with cancer.

Carcinoid tumors are rare, slow-growing cancers that usually start in the lining of the digestive tract or in the lungs. Because they grow slowly and don't produce symptoms in the early stages, the average age of people diagnosed with digestive or lung carcinoids is about 60.<br />
In later stages the tumors sometimes produce hormones that can cause carcinoid syndrome. The syndrome causes flushing of the face and upper chest, diarrhea, and trouble breathing.<br />
Surgery is the main treatment for carcinoid tumors. If they haven't spread to other parts of the body, surgery can cure the cancer. </div></div>lakkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10158774591763436544noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777718562392350890.post-19574746009007909682011-06-01T00:32:00.001-07:002011-06-01T00:32:40.966-07:00Cervical Cancer<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><h2 class="date-header"><span></span></h2><div class="date-posts"> <div class="post-outer"> <div class="post hentry uncustomized-post-template"> <a href="" name="1658473274673087532"></a> <h3 class="post-title entry-title"><br />

The cervix is the lower part of the uterus, the place where a baby grows during pregnancy. Cervical cancer is caused by several types of a virus called human papillomaviruses <a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/hpv.html">(HPV)</a>. The virus spreads through sexual contact. Most women's bodies are able to fight HPV infection. But sometimes the virus leads to cancer. You're at higher risk if you smoke, have many children, use birth control pills for a long time, or have HIV infection.<br />
Cervical cancer may not cause any symptoms at first, but later, you may have pelvic pain or bleeding from the vagina. It usually takes several years for normal cells in the cervix to turn into cancer cells. Your health care provider can find abnormal cells by doing a Pap test - examining cells from the cervix under a microscope. By getting regular Pap tests and pelvic exams you can find and treat changing cells before they turn into cancer.<br />
A vaccine for girls and young women protects against the four types of HPV that cause most cervical cancers. </div></div></div></div></div></div>lakkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10158774591763436544noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777718562392350890.post-36716090567199936172011-06-01T00:31:00.001-07:002011-06-01T00:31:24.130-07:00Cancer Chemotherapy<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><h3 class="post-title entry-title"><br />

Normally, your cells grow and die in a controlled way. <a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/cancer.html">Cancer</a> cells keep forming without control. Chemotherapy is drug therapy that can stop these cells from multiplying. However, it can also harm healthy cells, which causes side effects.<br />
During chemotherapy you may have no side effects or just a few. The kinds of side effects you have depend on the type and dose of chemotherapy you get. Side effects vary, but common ones are nausea, vomiting, tiredness, pain and hair loss. Healthy cells usually recover after chemotherapy, so most side effects gradually go away.<br />
Your course of therapy will depend on the cancer type, the chemotherapy drugs used, the treatment goal and how your body responds. You may get treatment every day, every week or every month. You may have breaks between treatments so that your body has a chance to build new healthy cells. You might take the drugs by mouth, in a shot or intravenously.</div></div>lakkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10158774591763436544noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777718562392350890.post-18667248218291916772011-05-31T22:55:00.001-07:002011-05-31T22:55:28.554-07:00Childhood Brain Tumors<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><h3 class="post-title entry-title"><br />

<a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/braincancer.html">Brain tumors</a> are growths inside your skull. They are among the most common types of <a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/cancerinchildren.html">childhood cancers</a>. Some are benign tumors, which aren't cancer. They can still be serious. Malignant tumors are cancerous.<br />
Symptoms of a brain tumor might include<br />
Headache<br />
Vomiting and nausea<br />
Personality changes<br />
Depression<br />
Trouble controlling muscles<br />
Seizures<br />
Vision or speech problems<br />
Treatment for children is sometimes different than for an adult. Long-term side effects are an important issue. The options also depend on the type of tumor and where it is. Removal of the tumor is often possible. If not, radiation, chemotherapy or both may be used.</div></div>lakkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10158774591763436544noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777718562392350890.post-83144719446276348552011-05-31T22:54:00.001-07:002011-05-31T22:54:37.170-07:00Also called: Colon polyps<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><h3 class="post-title entry-title"><br />

<div>Also called: Colon polyps<br />
A polyp is an extra piece of tissue that grows inside your body. Colonic polyps grow in the large intestine, or colon. Most polyps are not dangerous. However, some polyps may turn into cancer or already be cancer. To be safe, doctors remove polyps and test them. Polyps can be removed when a doctor examines the inside of the large intestine during a <a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/colonoscopy.html">colonoscopy</a>.<br />
Anyone can get polyps, but certain people are more likely than others. You may have a greater chance of getting polyps if you<br />
Are over age 50<br />
Have had polyps before<br />
Have a family member with polyps<br />
Have a family history of <a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/colorectalcancer.html">colon cancer</a><br />
Most colon polyps do not cause symptoms. If you have symptoms, they may include blood on your underwear or on toilet paper after a bowel movement, blood in your stool, or constipation or diarrhea lasting more than a week.</div></div>lakkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10158774591763436544noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777718562392350890.post-19576436638146226752011-05-31T22:53:00.002-07:002011-05-31T22:53:53.269-07:00Eye Cancer<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><h3 class="post-title entry-title"><br />

Cancer of the eye is uncommon. It can affect the outer parts of the eye, such as the eyelid, which are made up of muscles, skin and nerves. If the cancer starts inside the eyeball it's called intraocular cancer. The most common intraocular cancers in adults are melanoma and lymphoma. The most common eye cancer in children is retinoblastoma, which starts in the cells of the retina. Cancer can also spread to the eye from other parts of the body.<br />
Treatment for eye cancer varies by the type and by how advanced it is. It may include surgery, radiation therapy, freezing or heat therapy, or laser therapy. </div></div>lakkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10158774591763436544noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777718562392350890.post-11882592208204754182011-05-31T22:53:00.000-07:002011-05-31T22:53:01.633-07:00Gallbladder Cancer<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div class="date-posts"> <div class="post-outer"> <div class="post hentry uncustomized-post-template"> <a href="" name="386659069959672823"></a> <h3 class="post-title entry-title"><br />

Your gallbladder is a pear-shaped organ under your liver. It stores bile, a fluid made by your liver to digest fat. As your stomach and intestines digest food, your gallbladder releases bile through a tube called the common bile duct. The duct connects your gallbladder and liver to your small intestine.<br />
Cancer of the gallbladder is rare. It is more common in women and Native Americans. Symptoms include<br />
Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes)<br />
Pain above the stomach<br />
Fever<br />
Nausea and vomiting<br />
Bloating<br />
Lumps in the abdomen<br />
It is hard to diagnose gallbladder cancer in its early stages. Sometimes doctors find it when they remove the gallbladder for another reason. But people with gallstones rarely have gallbladder cancer. Because it is often found late, it can be hard to treat gallbladder cancer. Treatment options include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation or a combination. </div></div></div></div></div></div>lakkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10158774591763436544noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777718562392350890.post-87413939817706186752011-05-31T22:52:00.000-07:002011-05-31T22:52:03.039-07:00Also called: Gastric cancer<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><h3 class="post-title entry-title"><br />

<div>Also called: Gastric cancer<br />
Stomach cancer mostly affects older people – two-thirds of people who have it are over age 65. Your risk of getting it is also higher if you<br />
Have had a Helicobacter pylori infection<br />
Have had stomach inflammation<br />
Are a man<br />
Eat lots of salted, smoked, or pickled foods<br />
Smoke cigarettes<br />
Have a family history of stomach cancer<br />
It is hard to diagnose stomach cancer in its early stages. Indigestion and stomach discomfort can be symptoms of early cancer, but other problems can cause the same symptoms. In advanced cases, there may be blood in your stool, vomiting, unexplained weight loss, jaundice or trouble swallowing.<br />
Because it is often found late, it can be hard to treat stomach cancer.

<div>Also called: Duodenal cancer, Ileal cancer, Jejunal cancer, Small intestine cancer<br />
Your small intestine is part of your digestive system. It is a long tube that connects your stomach to your large intestine. Intestinal cancer is rare, but eating a high-fat diet or having <a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/crohnsdisease.html">Crohn's disease</a>, <a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/celiacdisease.html">celiac disease,</a> or a history of <a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/colonicpolyps.html">colonic polyps</a> can increase your risk.<br />
Abdominal pain or lumps, weight loss for no reason or blood in the stool can be symptoms. Imaging tests that create pictures of the small intestine and the area around it can help diagnose intestinal cancer and show whether it has spread.<br />
Surgery is the most common treatment. Additional options include chemotherapy, radiation or a combination.</div></div>lakkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10158774591763436544noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777718562392350890.post-46859844498340040102011-05-31T22:50:00.000-07:002011-05-31T22:50:07.869-07:00Also called: Glioma, Meningioma<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><h3 class="post-title entry-title"><br />

There are two main types of brain cancer. Primary brain cancer starts in the brain. Metastatic brain cancer starts somewhere else in the body and moves to the brain. Brain tumors can be benign, with no cancer cells, or malignant, with cancer cells that grow quickly.<br />
Brain tumors can cause many symptoms. Some of the most common are<br />
Headaches, usually worse in the morning<br />
Nausea and vomiting<br />
Changes in your ability to talk, hear or see<br />
Problems with balance or walking<br />
Problems with thinking or memory<br />
Muscle jerking or twitching<br />
Numbness or tingling in arms or legs<br />
No one knows the exact causes of brain tumors. Doctors can seldom explain why one person develops a brain tumor and another does not.</div></div>lakkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10158774591763436544noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777718562392350890.post-75392865803870534042011-05-31T22:49:00.001-07:002011-05-31T22:49:20.358-07:00Liver Cancer<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><h3 class="post-title entry-title"><br />

<div>Also called: Hepatocellular carcinoma<br />
Your liver is the largest organ inside your body. It filters harmful substances from the blood, digests fats from food and stores the sugar that your body uses for energy. Primary liver cancer starts in the liver. Metastatic liver cancer starts somewhere else and spreads to your liver.<br />
Risk factors for primary liver cancer include<br />
Having hepatitis<br />
Having cirrhosis, or scarring of liver<br />
Being male<br />
Low weight at birth<br />
Symptoms can include a lump or pain on the right side of your abdomen and yellowing of the skin. However, you may not have symptoms and the cancer may not be found until it is advanced. This makes it harder to treat. Treatment options include surgery, radiation, chemotherapy or <a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/livertransplantation.html">liver transplantation</a>. </div></div>lakkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10158774591763436544noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777718562392350890.post-62307415161331460142011-05-31T22:48:00.001-07:002011-05-31T22:48:16.670-07:00Kidney Cancer<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><h3 class="post-title entry-title"><br />

<div>Also called: Hypernephroma, Renal cancer<br />
You have two kidneys. They are fist-sized organs on either side of your backbone above your waist. The tubes inside filter and clean your blood, taking out waste products and making urine. Kidney cancer forms in the lining of tiny tubes inside your kidneys. It happens most often in people over 40. Risk factors include smoking, having certain genetic conditions and misusing pain medicines for a long time.<br />
Often, kidney cancer doesn't have early symptoms. However, see your health care provider if you notice<br />
Blood in your urine<br />
A lump in your abdomen<br />
Unexplained weight loss<br />
Pain in your side<br />
Loss of appetite<br />
Treatment depends on your age, your overall health and how advanced the cancer is. It might include surgery, radiation, chemotherapy or biologic therapy. Biologic therapy boosts your body's own ability to fight cancer. </div></div>lakkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10158774591763436544noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777718562392350890.post-32793132649260403642011-05-31T22:46:00.003-07:002011-05-31T22:46:56.359-07:00Leukemia, Adult Chronic<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><h3 class="post-title entry-title"><br />

Leukemia is cancer of the white blood cells. White blood cells help your body fight infection. Your blood cells form in your bone marrow. In leukemia, however, the bone marrow produces abnormal white blood cells. These cells crowd out the healthy blood cells, making it hard for blood to do its work.<br />
Leukemia can develop quickly or slowly. <a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/leukemiaadultacute.html">Acute leukemia</a> develops quickly. Chronic leukemia develops slowly. It usually occurs during or after middle age. At first, the abnormal cells still function. Eventually, however, the disease gets worse. It might cause<br />
Infections<br />
Fever<br />
Weight loss<br />
Swollen lymph nodes<br />
Tiredness<br />
You can often control chronic leukemia, but it is hard to cure. You might not need immediate treatment if you don't have symptoms. Treatments may include chemotherapy, radiation, biological therapy, surgery or stem cell transplantation. </div></div>lakkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10158774591763436544noreply@blogger.com0
