I would suggest calling the hospital ER and asking for their advice on the matter. Or you could just call an ambulance.
2 :
Get the number of her Doctor and find out, if those are after effects from all the chemo and radiation. She has been through a lot and its normal to be very week and tired. She needs to get her strength back and needs a lot of rest and very good nutrition. Buy some ensure if she is not eating and give her vitamins. Maybe she just caught a "bug", because her immune system is down. Check with her Doctor.
3 :
try to convince her to go to the doctor or er. She really needs to. she's probably depressed at all that's gone on, and she may be giving up. talk to her.
4 :
she did what she wanted to to get it let her go and be happy you do what you want to now and br happy again
5 :
Please see the webpages for more details on Lung cancer.
6 :
I am terribly sorry to hear about your mum, it would be better if she saw the doctor so try to convince her or call the doctor yourself, I saw my dad go through the same thing. be there for your mum and give her all the love you can and let her know that you love her, give her as much comfort as you can, it is all that you can do, remember that you have known and loved her and done all you can to help her. god bless you and your mum, my thoughts and prayers are with you both.
7 :
I am so sorry sweetie,please tell your mom to go for you she needs to find out what is going on. Tell her many people care and want her better for her family. It could be she is afraid to go ,this treatment is very exhausting and hard on a person. Give her lots of love and soft hugs you are a wonderful child to have! You are in my prayers,hugs to you and your mom. PS if she won't go call emergency and tell them her symptoms just like you shared with us Take care ~A~
8 :
PLEASE get her to the doctor. Get off Y!A and get her to a professional. Hope it's OK.
9 :
She is going though hell from the chemo and radiation. It is killing off her immune system and stopping it from doing what it was made to do (Rid the body of disease and infections) She needs to boost her immune system with glyconutrients. Read my cancer information and testimonials. I will say a prayer for her.
10 :
Visit my website check out the testimonials www. zeolitesfordetox.com/ davidlawrence email for more info I would love to know if I have helped davrlaw@yahoo.com
11 :
It is most important at this time that she KNOW that there are remedies available to her to that she should NOT have to suffer at all. Comfort is the key. The sleeping should be no suprise, as her body is working so hard and I am guessing she is on heavy medications. You may be able to just "consult" with her Doctor via phone for more suggestions or possibly antinausea medication for the throwing up. Again, make her comfortable as possible and enjoy any waking time with her
12 :
Though it is late and the cancer appears to be advanced you might find some help in Patrick Quillen's book Beating Cancer With Nutrition, or in Michael Murray's How to Prevent and Treat Cancer with Natural Medicine. Never give up hope! Good luck and God bless!
13 :
She is probably giving up. It is terrible to go thru treatments like that My husband had lung cancer we went thru chemo radiation drugs the trreatments killed him. ruined his bone marrow. She needs to try to eat or at least drink BOOST it helped my husband keep going. I am so sorry for your mom and you and your family. It sucks.I will keep you all in my thoughts. Good luck honey and just be there for her tell her you love her and try to comfort her.
14 :
Buy an ozonizer water purifier and give her a freshly ozonated glass before breakfast and 2 more times every day. Raw carrots, no red meat. If this doesn't get results after 2 months, go to an ozone therapy clinic.

Lung Cancer

Lung Cancer??
my mom was just diagnosed with small cell lung cancer, it's in her lungs and brain & is at stage four. What are her chances of survival??
Cancer - 5 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
I'm very sorry to hear that, but I'm sure the doctor probably gave her less than 3 months survival but probably wouldn't tell you! Small cell with metastasis to the brain is terminal. Even with chemo and radiation. Small undifferentiated cell in any organ = poor survival! Hopefully she is still well enough to do something she always wanted to do!
2 :
Stage 4 is the last stage of cancer you can have and is not good. I'm sure her doctors have made some recommendations to her about possible treatment options. She now has to decide about quality of life issues and whether she wants to go ahead with those treatments. I'm sorry you both will be going through this terrible turn of events.
3 :
Certain factors affect prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options. The prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options depend on the following: The stage of the cancer (whether it is in the chest cavity only or has spread to other places in the body). The patient’s gender and general health. The blood level of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), a substance found in the blood that may indicate cancer when the level is higher than normal. Stage 4 Stage 4 is the most advanced stage, where the cancer has spread. Understandably, the survival statistics are lowest for this stage. Unfortunately, lung cancer is often diagnosed late. Almost half of all those diagnosed with non small cell lung cancer already have stage 4 disease. People diagnosed at this stage are mostly treated with chemotherapy to relieve symptoms. Between 15 and 35 out of every 100 people (15 - 35%) treated for stage 4 lung cancer will be alive a year later. For those not fit enough to have chemotherapy treatment, this figure drops to about 10 out of every 100 people (10%). On average, only about 2 out of every 100 people (2%) diagnosed with stage 4 non-small cell lung cancer would be alive 5 years later.
4 :
Very sorry to hear that. The most important thing for you now is to be supportive of mom, depends on what course of treatment they want to work with, if any. They may or may not offer treatment options. Treatments may or may not work at this stage. Those can be hard on the patient. Then it gets into quality of life concerns. If your mom is told they will not do any more treatment, then it's about making her as comfortable as possible. Regardless, make time to be able to spend as much time as you can with her. Do what you can for her. Settle what you can with her while you can. Tell her how much you love her, and how much you appreciate all she is to you. The most important thing for her is hope for as long as possible. Hope will help her fight, and will to live counts for a lot. Each case is different. Lance Armstrong beat all the odds. Hope her case is one of those. But, if not, your support will mean so much. The more you can be there for her, the easier it will be. My mother had lung cancer also. Stage 4. She had chemo, things looked better for awhile, but she lost the battle unexpectedly. I only mention her to say this: Every journey is different. The odds are not good. But her medical team will explain the situation. Take this seriously. Spend all the time you can, so that you have no regrets.
5 :
I'm so very sorry about your mom's diagnosis. It's always good to be hopeful, my dad was one of the 2% that survived 5 years after diagnosis, so we were blessed. But you also must be realistic, discuss this with her and her doctor. See what her oncologist believes would be the best and most humane treatment. Sometimes chemo and/or radiation can prolong life and improve quality. Sometimes it can't. Please take care.

Wow... that is a lot of info and I doubt if it can all be answered on here. in a nut shell Preventative: healthy life style, stress free, healthy diet Improve health: alkalize your body, exercise, supplements, medical treatment often helps. Related issues: Pneumonia, weight loss, depression, pain, metastasis. Alternatives: I am a believer in alternative in a holistic way. To help overcome cancer, one has to change the WHOLE outline of themselves. Give the body what it lacks to help the body heal. To go into more detail, feel free to email me to discuss.

how does one die if he had lung cancer and prolonging his life for years?
Cancer - 2 Answers

1 :
Lung cancer leads to a painful death. One needs to undergo chemotherapy, along with other medication, to prolong his/her life . That too is very painful.
2 :
Its been estimated that 40% of cancer victims die from malutrition then from the cancer itself. Others are noted of dying from pneumonia or kidney failure. Not sure if I answered your question or not, I am unclear of what you are asking.

what do they do if you have lung cancer will you die for sure or can they save you?
Cancer - 7 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
there are many variables that come into play. ie age of patient, how advanced it is, what type cancer it is.....lots of things.
2 :
The out look for people with lung cancer is not generally good. It isn't possible to give any real estimate of how serious the problem is without knowing a lot more about the patient than their initial diagnosis. The only way to know for certain what the likely outcome would be is to have a serious talk with the doctors.
3 :
Sadly, lung cancer is the malignancy with the highest death rate in the United States: 87% of male patients die within 5 years of diagnosis, 83% of females die within that time frame. For more information on lung cancer prevalence and survival rates go to the following link: http://seer.cancer.gov/csr/1975_2003/results_merged/topic_survival.pdf
4 :
lots of variables here. type,stage, placement, cause. lung cancer can be beat. my bro and dad are living proof.
5 :
It depends on if it is small cell lung cancer or non-small cell lung cancer, and how far it has spread at time of treatment. It also depends where you are having treatments. Australia has a lower mortality rate from lung cancer than the US, 32% lower for men and 48% lower for women!
6 :
It is very hard to say. The most important factors are early detection and to maintain the medicatiom perscripted. Lung cancer is very difficult to detect early because it has no symptoms but I'm not saying you need to get a CT scan every month. If you do get any symptoms such as: bloody spit, change of cough pattern, pain in lungs, you are advised to see a doctor straight away as when metastasized, survival rates are very low.
7 :
First they will take a bi opsy and go from there ...... Chemo therapy first then a trans plant. The best place in the world if the Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minn.. I have been there four times and I trust them with my heart and soul... Just go to Mayoclinic.com and check them out.. Good luck Grant in Pennsylvania

do you know abute treatment lung cancer?
Cancer - 6 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
That person should go find a doctor immediately if you havn't already. Get 1,2,3 opinions. Earlier detection the better.
2 :
My understanding is that it kinda cures itself... meaning it won't be a problem one "lives" with for very long. Early detection can make modern treatment possible, but after a point, you're pretty much done. Being a smoker, I imagine I'll find out soon enough.
3 :
if its early + localized to one lobe or one lung, it may be managed surgically and then radio or chemo therapy, but its not that simple, there si check list to be excluded for the tumor to be operable however, the vast majority of patients present with already advanced disease and this is one of the nastiest cancer that doctor cannot do much to
4 :
Lung cancer treatment could be in a form of chemotheraphy, radiography, and surgery or combined. However it does not offer complete cure. If detected early, your chance of having good result is high but a relapse can be expected to happen in the future. Some treatment just offer palliation or just a temporary relief. There are new chemotherapeutic drugs combination available this days which are believed to give better results in lung cancer treatment. If you are a smoker: Stop right now as it is one way of helping yourself with this form of cancer though it is not guaranteed due to the fact that all smokers do not get lung cancer and some lung cancer patients are not smokers. Anyway keep away from smoking!♥
5 :
My husband was treated with radiation chemo gamma knife procedure and a drug called tarceva. Hope this helps
6 :
I have always believed that the mainstream medical industry is not interested in finding a cure for cancer because it makes too much profit with its present barbarous methods. Eventually, I came across a detailed report which agreed with my findings, and I have included it in my web page at http://dgwa1.fortunecity.com/body/cancer.html By reading this report, you will also convince yourself that it is best to ignore the mainstream cancer industry, and seek alternative cures. Also you should bear in mind that the medical industry will do anything to protect its profitable position, including disparaging alternative healers or even creating bogus court cases. I believe that cancer is a whole body thing, which in 80 percent of cases manifests itself by producing symptoms in the weaker parts of the body, and therefore appearing localised. It is this treatment of symptoms instead of cause which creates the profitable, yet non-successful approach of mainstream medicine. Some cures are listed on the web page too. It is therefore obvious that a holistic approach is required, based on cleansing, diet, exercise and debugging. CLEANSING The best way of cleansing is to fast. http://www.phifoundation.org/menses.html http://www.healthy.net/scr/article.asp?ID=1996 but if a patient is too weak for that, or does not fancy the idea, then alternative cleanses are available. Colon Cleanse http://www.soundfeelings.com/free/colon_cleansing.htm#recipe Bowel cleanse http://www.curezone.com/schulze/herbal_colon_cleanse_1_2.asp kidney cleanse http://www.curezone.com/cleanse/kidney/default.asp http://www.ehow.com/how_12678_kidney-cleansing-fast.html http://www.falconblanco.com/health/cleansing/kidney.html http://www.healingdaily.com/colon-kidney-detoxification.htm http://www.healthfree.com/cleansing_programs_kidney.html Liver cleanse http://www.drclark.net/en/drclark_protocol/illnesses/liver_cleanse.php Gallbladder cleanse http://www.curezone.com/cleanse/liver/default.asp http://www.curezone.com/cleanse/liver/huldas_recipe.asp Pancreas cleanse http://curezone.com/dis/1.asp?C0=261 DIET, The best diet is vegetarian, avoiding all processed, frozen or micro-waved foods and drinks, and based on fresh fruit, fresh vegetables - preferably organic, nuts and seeds. Drinks should be clean water or freshly squeezed orange juice. Many researchers promote the benefits of vitamin B17 as a healer. this can be found in the following foods: Apple seeds, alfalfa sprouts, apricot kernels, bamboo shoots, barley, beet tops, bitter almond, blackberries, boysenberries, brewer’s yeast, brown rice, buckwheat, cashews, cherry kernels, cranberries, currants, fava beans, flax seeds, garbanzo beans, gooseberries, huckleberries, lentils, lima beans, linseed meat, loganberries, macadamia nuts, millet, millet seed, peach kernels, pecans, plum kernels, quince, raspberries, sorghum cane syrup, spinach, sprouts (alfalfa, lentil, mung bean, buckwheat, garbanzo), strawberries, walnuts, watercress, yams. A commercial preparation of B17 is available called Laetrile. EXERCISE Exercise should be sufficient to create a sweat, but not sufficient to make you gasp for breath or feel over-tired. About one hours exercise every day is best. DEBUGGING There are various theories about how bugs create cancer. Hulda Clark suggests that parasites are the cause, and that they can be disposed of by using a zapper. Zappers are available from Super Zapper DeLuxe http://www.drclark.net Clark Zapper with amazing features get a free CD ROM http://www.paradevices.com/zapper_works.html Terminator Crystal Orgone Zapper Blood Purification Parasite Solution Electrical stimulation devices for blood purification, parasites, relaxation, and addictions. http://www.elixa.com/estim/zap.htm High frequency parasite zapper.
