Some leukemias can be cured through bone marrow transplants

 

Is cancer curable? Sorry, I've never heard of anyone surviving it. so sad

 

You are joking of course. Ask a doctor, chemotherapy, surgery, etc... There is usually a chance of surviving.

 

“Cancer” is not a single disease. Whilst there are some similarities that underlie all cancers (viz. they’re genetic diseases), each type of cancer is its own complex disease with its own set of risk factors, prognoses, treatment regimes and outcomes.

Some cancers are curable, depending on the stage at which they are discovered. Catching them at their earliest stage always gives the best chance. As for whether all cancer will be curable, that’s hard to say. I suspect not.

As for your other questions, they are technical medical questions that no one here can answer. She needs to consult an oncologist for those answers.

Of course people have survived cancer.

 

must be.

 

of course you know that that is a vaccine???

 

Oncophage differs from preventative vaccines because it is supposed to treat an existing malignant condition, not prevent precursors to a cancer’s development

i wish them luck with it.

 

My dad has cancer too, lungcancer. It went away for a while, with chemotherapy, but now it's back, so he has to do the whole treatment again, but all hope is not lost.

sorry to hear that.

 

Yes, someday all hope is lost.

 

chemotherapy is just destroying cells, good and bad ones...its a fail approach.

 

Thank you. Now it is lost.

 

Look I face the truth and you should do. Dont hide from reality, face it, challenge it, do anything you can in your power.

 

well besides saying you do, what have you done to find and implement new cures to treat lung cancer in your dad? How many procedures have you tried so far? How much money have you helped raise for your dad?

Well....

you say you are Messiah, thats all beautiful and fine on words and self-appraisal, but what have you done Messiah? to prove your self-worth? And dont erase your replies, you said it, I saw it, you meant it, now that you realized you dont, I expect change of you.

 

Yes, cancer is curable. Especially with integrative therapies which combine conventional chemotherapy with holistic modalities.

It won't be long until conventional chemotherapy is replaced with more effective, aggressive and less traumatic genetherapies and immunotherapies.

Treatments vary widely depending upon the type of cancer and whether is has metastisized. A consultation with an oncologist will reveal the treatment options and what the patient can expect.

****Holistic medicine does not work on cancer, so don't consider it as a treatment option for a malignant disease.****

I had cancer 14 years ago. I had a 2% chance of survival. I am cured. It was a piece of cake.
