10 women will develop breast cancer at some time in her life

10 women will develop breast cancer at some time in her life.

 

First of all, remember that breast cancer is a treatable disease.

 

There are four kinds of treatment. One or more of these may be used for you

depending upon what you need and want. The four ways of treating breast cancer

are:

 

1. Surgery (Removing the cancer with an operation.)

2. Radiation therapy (Killing the cancer cells with special x-rays.)

3. Chemotherapy (Killing the cancer cells with drugs.)

4. Hormone therapy (Stopping the cells from growing with hormone drugs.)

 

Each of these four treatments is described in more detail later in this

document.

 

Your doctor should tell you what kind of breast cancer you have and the stage it

is in (that is, if it has spread and, if so, how far it has spread).

 

Some breast cancer can be treated in several different ways, and you may have a

choice of treatments. If your doctor tells you that you do have a choice, you

should take time to decide which treatment you would prefer.

 

Unfortunately, some breast cancer can only be treated in one, specific way, so

not all persons have a choice of treatment. Before making any decision or

starting any treatment, you may wish to talk with each doctor who may be giving

you a particular type of treatment:

 

A surgeon removes breast cancer with an operation.

 

A radiation oncologist gives breast cancer patients special x-rays to kill their

cancer cells.

 

A medical oncologist treats breast cancer patients, including selecting the

drugs that can be used to kill their cancer cells or stop their cancer cells

from growing.

 

A plastic surgeon rebuilds the breasts after an operation.

 

You have a right to get a second opinion from another doctor if you wish.

 

You also may wish to participate in a clinical trial of a new or potentially

improved treatment, and you should ask your doctor about these options if you

are interested.

Sorry, I don't agree with any of this. I would not be utilising any of

these " treatments " should I have the misfortune to develop breast cancer.

My first choices for treatment would all be ALTERNATIVE, afterall this is a

Group for ALTERNATIVE ANSWERS!

 I have to say that I really have a hard time with this issue.  I am coming from

a place where I have chosen not to have a disease and was successful in taking

care of business.  I absolutely believe, that more often that not, most medical

issues can be avoided by living a lifestyle of as close to natural hygeine as

possible.

 

I am also coming from a place where I know of two women, personally, who were

able to beat cancer (one was stage 4), Not with chemo, not with radiation, not

with surgery, and not with hormone therapy.  But with real, living, raw foods,

sunshine,  exercise, faith, positive thoughts, and on and on.  (yep!  the stage

4 needed some intensive juicing and the likes.)  Our bodies have the innate

ability to heal themselves.. they want to heal themselves and they will

continuously try to heal themselves.  They need the correct environment to

support it and be successful. 

 

 

Our bodies are programmed to be self healing, and given the correct environment,

I repeat given the correct environment...where cells are not given obstacles

which prevent them from doing the work they need to do, cancer is an absolute

rarity.  Cancer does not survive in an oxygen filled alkaline based

environment.  It really is as simple as that.  BUT Americans in general, live a

lifestyle that is so not conducive to this there there is a high incidence of

cancer and other environmental and lifestyle issues.  As a rule most people have

no clue whatsoever what the body actually needs, and continuously look for the

quick fix from exterior sources.

 

I better stop here, I can go on forever as I am so passionate about this, that

is absolutely kills me to see what is happening to literally most people. 

 

I am new to the group.  LOL   Jeanie

Anyone thinking of treating their cancer with conventional medicine

might want to read this first before you jump right in.

 

CHEMOTHERAPY QUOTES

" Two to 4% of cancers respond to chemotherapy….The bottom line is for a few

kinds of cancer chemo is a life extending procedure---Hodgkin's disease, Acute

Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL), Testicular cancer, and Choriocarcinoma. " ----Ralph

Moss, Ph.D. 1995 Author of Questioning Chemotherapy.

 

" NCI now actually anticipates further increases, and not decreases, in cancer

mortality rates, from 171/100,000 in 1984 to 175/100,000 by the year

2000! " --Samuel Epstein.

 

" A study of over 10,000 patients shows clearly that chemo’s supposedly strong

track record with Hodgkin’s disease (lymphoma) is actually a lie. Patients who

underwent chemo were 14 times more likely to develop leukemia and 6 times more

likely to develop cancers of the bones, joints, and soft tissues than those

patients who did not undergo chemotherapy (NCI Journal 87:10). " -John Diamond

 

Children who are successfully treated for Hodgkin's disease are 18 times more

likely later to develop secondary malignant tumours. Girls face a 35 per cent

chance of developing breast cancer by the time they are 40----which is 75 times

greater than the average. The risk of leukemia increased markedly four years

after the ending of successful treatment, and reached a plateau after 14 years,

but the risk of developing solid tumours remained high and approached 30 per

cent at 30 years (New Eng J Med, March 21, 1996)

 

" Success of most chemotherapy is appalling…There is no scientific evidence for

its ability to extend in any appreciable way the lives of patients suffering

from the most common organic cancer…chemotherapy for malignancies too advanced

for surgery which accounts for 80% of all cancers is a scientific

wasteland. " ---Dr Ulrich Abel. 1990

 

The New England Journal of Medicine Reports- War on Cancer Is a Failure: Despite

$30 billion spent on research and treatments since 1970, cancer remains

" undefeated, " with a death rate not lower but 6% higher in 1997 than 1970,

stated John C. Bailar III, M.D., Ph.D., and Heather L. Gornik, M.H.S., both of

the Department of Health Studies at the University of Chicago in Illinois. " The

war against cancer is far from over, " stated Dr. Bailar. " The effect of new

treatments for cancer on mortality has been largely disappointing. "

 

" My studies have proved conclusively that untreated cancer victims live up to

four times longer than treated individuals. If one has cancer and opts to do

nothing at all, he will live longer and feel better than if he undergoes

radiation, chemotherapy or surgery, other than when used in immediate

life-threatening situations. " ---Prof Jones. (1956 Transactions of the N.Y.

Academy of Medical Sciences, vol 6. There is a fifty page article by Hardin

Jones of National Cancer Institute of Bethesda, Maryland. He surveyed global

cancer of all types and compared the untreated and the treated, to conclude that

the untreated outlives the treated, both in terms of quality and in terms of

quantity. Secondly he said, " Cancer does not cure " . Third he said " There is a

physiological mechanism which finishes off an individual " .)

 

" With some cancers, notably liver, lung, pancreas, bone and advanced breast, our

5 year survival from traditional therapy alone is virtually the same as it was

30 years ago. " ---P Quillin, Ph.D.

 

" 1.7% increase in terms of success rate a year, its nothing. By the time we get

to the 24 century we might have effective treatments, Star Trek will be long

gone by that time. " Ralph Moss.

 

" ….chemotherapy’s success record is dismal. It can achieve remissions in about

7% of all human cancers; for an additional 15% of cases, survival can be

" prolonged " beyond the point at which death would be expected without treatment.

This type of survival is not the same as a cure or even restored quality of

life. " -John Diamond, M.D.

 

" Keep in mind that the 5 year mark is still used as the official guideline for

" cure " by mainstream oncologists. Statistically, the 5 year cure makes

chemotherapy look good for certain kinds of cancer, but when you follow cancer

patients beyond 5 years, the reality often shifts in a dramatic way. " -Diamond.

 

Studies show that women taking tamoxifen after surviving breast cancer then have

a high propensity to develop endometrial cancer. The NCI and Zeneca

Pharmaceuticals, which makes the drug, aggressively lobbied State of California

regulators to keep them from adding tamoxifen to their list of carcinogens.

Zeneca is one of the sponsors of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

 

" Most cancer patients in this country die of chemotherapy…Chemotherapy does not

eliminate breast, colon or lung cancers. This fact has been documented for over

a decade. Yet doctors still use chemotherapy for these tumours…Women with breast

cancer are likely to die faster with chemo than without it. " -Alan Levin, M.D.

 

According to the Cancer Statistics for 1995, published by the ACS in their small

journal (2), the 5-year survival rate has improved from 50%-56% for whites and

39%-40% for blacks from 1974/1976 - 1983/1990. However, the data is taken from

FIVE of the states with the lowest death rates AND the smallest populations!

NONE of the 10 states with the highest death rates AND comprising 34% of the

Total U.S. Cancer Deaths, were included in the data! Also, in prior years, the

Composite (Ave.) 5-year survival rate for ALL Cancers Combined was computed and

published. This Ave. 5-year survival crept upward to 50%, in the early nineties.

It now stands around 51-52%, due primarily to the improvement of 11% survival

for Colon and 13% increased survival for Prostate. It gets worse. The ACS boasts

of " statistically significant " results when Uterine Ca survival drops from

89%/60%-85%/55% (W/B)?? Also, Pancreas Ca is 3-3 (W) and Laryngeal Ca survival

drops from 59%-53% (B) while Cervical Ca drops from 63%-56% (B). Liver Ca

improves from 4%-7%. I wonder how many Pancreatic and Hepatic Ca patients

cheered these dramatic results? Ovarian Ca = 36%/40% - 42%/38% (W/B) and Breast

Ca = 75%/63% - 82%/66% (W/B). In 16 years the Breast Ca rate improved 3-7%,

while Uterine Ca decreased 4-5%. Aren't these marvelous results that the Cancer

Establishment should boast about??----RD Hodgell, M.D.

 

" The five year cancer survival statistics of the American Cancer Society are

very misleading. They now count things that are not cancer, and, because we are

able to diagnose at an earlier stage of the disease, patients falsely appear to

live longer. Our whole cancer research in the past 20 years has been a failure.

More people over 30 are dying from cancer than ever before…More women with mild

or benign diseases are being included in statistics and reported as being

" cured " . When government officials point to survival figures and say they are

winning the war against cancer they are using those survival rates

improperly. " ---Dr J. Bailer, New England Journal of Medicine (Dr Bailer’s answer

to questions put by Neal Barnard MD of the Physicians Committee For Responsible

Medicine and published in PCRM Update, sept/oct 1990.

 

" I look upon cancer in the same way that I look upon heart disease, arthritis,

high blood pressure, or even obesity, for that matter, in that by dramatically

strengthening the body's immune system through diet, nutritional supplements,

and exercise, the body can rid itself of the cancer, just as it does in other

degenerative diseases. Consequently, I wouldn't have chemotherapy and radiation

because I'm not interested in therapies that cripple the immune system, and, in

my opinion, virtually ensure failure for the majority of cancer patients. " ---Dr

Julian Whitaker, M.D.

 

" Finding a cure for cancer is absolutely contraindicated by the profits of the

cancer industry’s chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery cash trough. " -Dr Diamond,

M.D.

 

" We have a multi-billion dollar industry that is killing people, right and left,

just for financial gain. Their idea of research is to see whether two doses of

this poison is better than three doses of that poison. " -Glen Warner, M.D.

oncologist.

 

John Robbins:

 

" Percentage of cancer patients whose lives are predictably saved by chemotherapy

- 3%

Conclusive evidence (majority of cancers) that chemotherapy has any positive

influcence on survival or quality of life - none.

Percentage of oncologists who said if they had cancer they would not participate

in chemotherapy trials due to its " ineffectiveness and its unacceptable

toxicity " - 75%

Percentage of people with cancer in the U.S. who receive chemotherapy - 75%.

Institute. " from Reclaiming Our Health: Exploding the Medical Myth and Embracing

the Source of True Healing by John Robbins.

" If you can shrink the tumour 50% or more for 28 days you have got the FDA's

definition of an active drug. That is called a response rate, so you have a

response..(but) when you look to see if there is any life prolongation from

taking this treatment what you find is all kinds of hocus pocus and song and

dance about the disease free survival, and this and that. In the end there is no

proof that chemotherapy in the vast majority of cases actually extends life, and

this is the GREAT LIE about chemotherapy, that somehow there is a correlation

between shrinking a tumour and extending the life of the patient. " ---Ralph Moss

 

" The majority of publications equate the effect of chemotherapy with (tumour)

response, irrespective of survival. Many oncologists take it for granted that

response to therapy prolongs survival, an opinion which is based on a fallacy

and which is not supported by clinical studies. To date there is no clear

evidence that the treated patients, as a whole, benefit from chemotherapy as to

their quality of life. " ---Abel.1990.

 

" For the majority of the cancers we examined, the actual improvements (in

survival) have been small or have been overestimated by the published rates...It

is difficult to find that there has been much progress...(For breast cancer),

there is a slight improvement...(which) is considerably less than

reported. " ---General Accounting Office

 

" As a chemist trained to interpret data, it is incromprehensible to me that

physicians can ignore the clear evidence that chemotherapy does much, much more

harm than good. " ---Alan Nixon, Ph.D., Past President, American Chemical Society.

 

" He said, " I'm giving cancer patients over here at this major cancer clinic

drugs that are killing them, and I can't stop it because they say the protocol's

what's important. " And I say, " But the patient's not doing well. " They say, " The

protocol's what's important, not the patient. " And he said, " You can't believe

what goes on in the name of medicine and science in this country. " --Gary Null

 

The Politics of Cancer---Epstein

 

That in spite of over $20 billion expenditures since the " War against Cancer "

was launched by President Nixon in 1971, there has been little if any

significant improvement in treatment and survival rates for most common cancers,

in spite of contrary misleading hype by the cancer establishment---the National

Cancer Institute (NCI) and American Cancer Society (ACS).

 

That the cancer establishment remains myopically fixated on damage control

_diagnosis and treatment _ and basic genetic research, with, not always benign,

indifference to cancer prevention. Meanwhile, the incidence of cancer, including

nonsmoking cancers, has escalated to epidemic proportions with lifetime cancer

risks now approaching 50%.

 

That the NCI has a long track record of budgetary shell games in efforts to

mislead Congress and the public with its claim that it allocates substantial

resources to cancer prevention. Over the last year, the NCI has made a series of

widely divergent claims, ranging from $480 million to $1 billion, for its

prevention budget while realistic estimates are well under $100 million.

 

That the NCI allocates less than 1% of its budget to research on occupational

cancer _ the most avoidable of all cancers _ which accounts for well over 10% of

all adult cancer deaths, besides being a major cause of childhood cancer.

 

That cancer establishment policies, particularly those of the ACS, are strongly

influenced by pervasive conflicts of interest with the cancer drug and other

industries. As admitted by former NCI director Samuel Broder, the NCI has become

" what amounts to a governmental pharmaceutical company. "

 

That the MD Anderson Comprehensive Cancer Center was sued in August, 1998 for

making unsubstantiated claims that it cures " well over 50% of people with

cancer. "

 

That the NCI, with enthusiastic support from the ACS _ the tail that wags the

NCI dog _ has effectively blocked funding for research and clinical trials on

promising non-toxic alternative cancer drugs for decades, in favor of highly

toxic and largely ineffective patented drugs developed by the multibillion

dollar global cancer drug industry. Additionally, the cancer establishment has

systematically harassed the proponents of non-toxic alternative cancer drugs.

 

That, as reported in The Chronicle of Philanthropy, the ACS is " more interested

in accumulating wealth than saving lives. " Furthermore, it is the only known

" charity " that makes contributions to political parties.

 

That the NCI and ACS have embarked on unethical trials with two hormonal drugs,

tamoxifen and Evista, in ill-conceived attempts to prevent breast cancer in

healthy women while suppressing evidence that these drugs are known to cause

liver and ovarian cancer, respectively, and in spite of the short-term lethal

complications of tamoxifen. The establishment also proposes further

chemoprevention trials this fall on tamoxifen, and also Evista, in spite of two

published long-term European studies on the ineffectiveness of tamoxifen. This

represents medical malpractice verging on the criminal.

 

That the ACS and NCI have failed to provide Congress and regulatory agencies

with available scientific information on a wide range of unwitting exposures to

avoidable carcinogens in air, water, the workplace, and consumer products

suchfood, cosmetics and toiletries, and household products. As a result,

corrective legislative and regulatory action have not been taken.

 

That the cancer establishment has also failed to provide the public,

particularly African American and underprivileged ethnic groups with their

disproportionately higher cancer incidence rates, with information on avoidable

carcinogenic exposures, thus depriving them of their right-to-know and

effectively preventing them from taking action to protect themselves _ a

flagrant denial of environmental justice.

[Guest guest]

You both have very good thoughts. Let me, if I may intergect a few more

on the subject:

 

Shortly after the " Human Genome Project " was completed, it was

discovered that we all have the gene that is Cancer. The problem that

medical science is having to deal with is what are all the triggers that

cause the Cancer gene to turn from dormant to the radical that is what

people hate to hear their Dr. to say they have. As you stated quite

rightly Cancer's living enviroment is eztreemly limited, and yes it does

not survive in a oxygen filled one. It does not do well if the

enviroment is too alklie or not enough.

 

But again, as stated, it comes down to what armed with these facts do we

do as individuals do keep the gene/cell in a dormant state. We

unfortunatly are too hurried in our lives and to quick to accept the ole

addage " Oh it won't happen to me " . We have too many quick fixes

availaple to us in our daily lives from the food industry to the EVIL

pharmacopia indistry to the government (who really doesn't give a

tinker's damn about us, the little people) so it behoves each and every

one of us to sit down with ourselves AND our mates (others) and the ones

around us to evaluate what we do EVERY DAY in our lives and how we can

make it a more natural life. YES it will cost us. Something no one wants

to hear, but look at the alturnitive.

 

I am a Lung Cancer survivor. Got it from going to my Father's workplace

several times a week growing up. All the insulation, wall & floor panels

were made of that nasty stuff thas collects as little fibers in the

lining of the lungs. The specialists @ UNLV and the Huntsman Cancer

Institute here in SLC were able to scrape my lungs clear of it all. Not

a easy or small-priced task, but in my case it worked.

 

There at that time was my wake-up bell to look at my life, what I was

doing, and most importantly, what I was doing WRONG. The changes were

not in my case major, but enough to make the Cancer to shut down. I live

now a more natural life than I did before and the monitary cost hasn't

been at all bad (about a 10% increase) but by choosing different ways to

live, I have offset the cost. I now feel better than I ever have been

and I know that by bodies self-healing processes are able to do their

thing unobstructed.

 

It;s amazing what a simple self-evaluation can do for one's life. I

suggest you all try it. What do you have to GAIN?

 

(If any of you would like some suggestions or to know what I did, please

let me know. I'll be more than happy to share it)
