Health Insurance Companies won’t cover cost of Cancer Treatment Pills

How does it make you feel to know that a cheap, safe, and effective means to combat cancer has been found, but

the FDA won’t allow it to be used because of patent issues?

“although the study results are promising, no formal clinical trials in humans with cancer have yet been conducted, emphasizing the need for caution in interpreting the preliminary results”

And the rush to judgement without the application of critical thinking skills gets under my skin.

I need info on prostate cancer and side effects from treatment?

I have a close friend who was diagnosed with prostate cancer and I need some questions answered on what the chances are for survival if it is caught early and what are the chances of having a regular love life after having your prostate removed? This is a man only 45 years old with a very active life and sex life and he is very concerned about how life will be after he has the surgery, if there is anyone who can tell me about personal experiences that are valid, please don’t send clips of articles on prostate cancer because I have read ALL those, thanks

I had prostate cancer in 2005 and am just fine with a current psa of .13 that is point one three…. cured.. I was treated with Proton Radiation. The reason I chose proton ratiation is that it has a 90% cure rate and no side effects. It is the best possible prostate cancer treatment available today in my opinion… I was not sick one single day during or after treatments and every part of my body works just as before I had the treatments. I am not incontent nor am i impotent.. Its like I never had cancer and I am now fine. Proton Radiation is very different from conventional radiation… With Proton Radiation 85-90 % of the treatment energy is delivered exactly at the point needing to be treated… Therefore no other body tissue or organs are damaged as with conventional radiation..that is why it has no side effects..

There is a website called PROTON BOB (bob stands for brotherhood of the balloon..it is part of the treatment) . The website tells lots a bout prostate cancer and proton radiation.. If you go to the website, you and your friend both should read the Patient Testimonal Section.. You will then see what I am talking about… Any one with Prostate Cancer who has ever been treated with Proton Radiation is as sold on it as I am.. We all just hate to see people take the other treatments when such a good treatment is available…that has no side effects and such a high cure rate.There is also a new book out written by Robert J Marckini (a prostate cancer surviver) called YOU CAN BEAT PROSTATE CANCER. It can be purchased at Barnes and Noble and ebay and some other places I think.. It tells all about prostate cancer and then it tells all about all of the different treatments options available today and includes all pros and cons or side effects of each treatment.. Any one with Prostate cancer or prostate problems should read the book..especilly before deciding on a treatment type,.
Doctors have been slow to recommend Proton Radiation for several reasons, many did not know about it, or knew very little about it.. , many considered or still consider it experimental.. then there is the green dollar bill reason.. If they send the patient else where for treatment they or their hospital dont make any money.. However they are now starting to recognize Proton Radiation.. I was treated at Loma Linda University Medical Center in Loma Linda California.. Loma Linda pioneered the treatment in this country 17 years ago and their success has been so great that they are now no longer being ignored.. M D Anderson in Houston Texas built a facility last year and now offers Proton treatments, Mass General in Boston, one in Jacksonville, Florida and one in Indiania currently offer it I think.. The Proton Bob website tells where its available….Just dont let some doctor who is not familiar with Proton Radiation or wants to treat you how ever he is trained ..tell you what to do..make you own decision…

To me chosing Proton Radiation is a no brainer .. the 90% cure rate and no side effects… It was like being on a ten week vacation when I had my treatments… If you would like I can locate some people in your area who have had Proton treatments who would be glad to share their experience with you.. I will be glad to talk to you myself .. just email me here on yahoo answers.. any of us (former proton radiation) would be glad to talk to you . That is how much we believe in the treatment..and why not.. just read the testimonials at PROTON Bob…..Sorry I wrote so much … but I just hate to see any one subject themselves to something bad when it is so unnessary… have a great day. Im not going to check my spelling and typos.. it disconnets me some times so here it comes bad spelling and all… Also most websites like American CAncer society etc.. will say nothing about Proton Radiaton… It is so aggravating.. they are mostly controlled with doctors and people who use other treatments.. and will not recommend it.. I think it is mostly a money thing still..very sad…Only thing I can say.. Is check with those of us who have had Proton Radiation and see what we have to say and whether or not we would do it over again.. I can tell you the universal answer will be YES!!!!! One funny thing when I was taking my treatments.. sure were lots of doctors and other medical professionals out there being treated for it with Proton Radiation.. guess it was good for them and not their patients… well there are several doctors in the testimonial section on Proton Bob.. they are catching on.. One other thing and I will finally quit.. If I were going to take the treatments, I think I would do it at Loma Linda University Medical Center again.. mainly because they have been doing it so long.. however Im sure MD Anderson or some of the others would be just fine.

Pain, Pain Go Away: Texas Seeks A Choice Of Treatments For Chronic Pain Sufferers Part 3

Chronic pain will disable more people in the U.S. than cancer and heart disease combined this year. Between 75 and 90 million Americans deal with chronic pain, and approximately 25 million from acute pain that requires treatment. What is worse, perhaps, is that many pain sufferers never receive adequate relief: 40% of cancer patients don’t, and neither do 50% of post-surgery patients. Texas is no exception. Prospering pain management clinics in every major city in the state, from Houston, to Austin, to Dallas reflect this reality.

Pain is classified as chronic when it has occurred either continually, or intermittently, over a period longer than six months. Conditions of chronic pain can lead to anxiety, fear, depression, lack of activity, and unemployment, not only causing suffering, but also costing the nation billions in lost working hours, medical charges, and workers’ compensation.

The management of this condition, then, is arguably one of the more pressing health issues today throughout Texas and the rest of the United States. Particularly with the proper health insurance coverage, these conditions can be effectively treated, however, and, if not cured, at least managed.

While health institutions do their best to estimate statistics on pain, it’s been difficult to gather accurate data, partially due to hospital policies related to its management.

Until this year, when the Joint Commission began enforcing new regulations, hospitals in Texas and the rest of the country were not required to monitor a patient’s pain levels in the same manner as every other vital sign, which also made it difficult for health insurance policies to cover treatment. As a result, consistent pain data on any one condition, or after any particular procedure, was difficult to attain. Now, hospitals are required to do so, monitoring a patient’s pain levels frequently from check-in to check-out. This change in policy will supply new, enlightening information on the experience and management of painful conditions.

According to Zena Quezado, chief of the Department of Anesthesia and Surgical Services at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center, pain levels are associated with several variables, including patient experience, perception of pain, age, gender, and type of pain.

The reasons behind inadequate pain relief, she says, are still unknown, but may be partially attributed to “mind responses.” Indeed, many health professionals agree that the psychological process is an important aspect of perceiving and managing pain. For some, it is a negative cycle of anxiety; worrying about the pain produces tension, which, in turn, tightens muscles and releases stress hormones, thereby increasing pain. For others, it is the perception of the pain that makes it unbearable.

This article will therefore explore some of the psychological aspects of, and treatments for, managing pain. In many instances, health insurance policies will cover treatments, particularly if referred by a qualified physician. Much of the information has been adapted from Prescriptions for Natural Healing by James F. Balch, M.D., and Phyllis A Balch, C.N.C. As always, consult a qualified health practitioner before undergoing any treatment.

(1) Biofeedback

Biofeedback operates on the principle that one can learn to control functions previously thought only involuntary, through the application of relaxation techniques and instant feedback regarding their efficacy. By monitoring responses such as heart rate and blood pressure, the idea is that the patient can modify his or her techniques in order to make them more effective. Biofeedback has proven effective in managing chronic pain situations in numerous experiments.

The method is relatively simple: Electrodes are (painlessly) attached to the skin, and the patient is instructed to practice a relaxation technique he or she is familiar with, such as meditation. The monitors then let the patient know if heart rate, blood pressure, skin temperature, pulse, muscle tension, and/or brain activity has decreased (or increased). Those biological responses can then be associated with pain level. It is believed that, over time, one can train himself/herself to make relaxation techniques more effective, use relaxation methods that best suit his or her needs, and train the body to be in that effective state more often on cue.

(2) Counseling

Counseling is an absolutely invaluable resource. Different pain levels experienced by members of different cultures during the same event provide interesting data on the effects of psychology. For instance, women in the United States are usually taught to fear childbirth for its levels of pain, while women in most European cultures are not. Not surprisingly, American women report higher levels of pain during childbirth and receive more anesthetic medications. The lesson: what we tell ourselves over time makes a big difference.

The right therapist will teach skills designed to help a chronic pain patient cope, hopefully assisting the sufferer in physically feeling less pain. Various methods have been employed with success, including cognitive behavioral therapy, stress management skills, deep breathing techniques, and other psychological exercises that, when practiced regularly, can change one’s thought patterns — which, consequently, can change the perception and experience of pain. It is essential for each individual to find the right counselor, and the right method.

(3) Relaxation Techniques

This is a broad term, utilized in Western culture to describe everything from yoga, to deep breathing exercises, to meditation, to guided imagery, though any single one could justify a category in itself. Briefly described below are three proven techniques.

Guided Imagery:
Guided imagery is a technique employing mental pictures to replace negative thoughts and emotions with positive ones. Indeed, negative emotions have been linked with decreased immune response, and positive emotions with increased immune response. This technique has been used effectively, in conjunction with other treatments, for rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, and other painful illnesses. It has also been shown to slow heart rate, reduce stress, and stimulate the immune system — any one of which can reduce pain.

Hypnotherapy:
Professional hypnotherapy is designed to “generate a state of deep relaxation in which there is a heightened receptivity to suggestion through the calm repetition of words and statements.” Simple verbal suggestions applied during this time can help the patient block the sensation of pain, anxiety, fear, or other psychological issues that may be increasing, or causing, pain.

During a state of hypnosis, the patient’s mind is fully aware, but the body is curiously relaxed. A deep state of relaxation is induced, pulse rate and breathing slows, and blood pressure drops. Self-hypnosis is also possible with the right training, enabling a chronic pain sufferer to induce the state whenever necessary.

Meditation:
Familiar to most of us, at least in name, meditation is a technique thousands of years old, with innumerable subtypes. The main forms of meditation are grouped under either “mindfulness” or “concentrative” meditation.

Mindfulness meditation makes one aware of various outside stimuli, but trains the mind not to react. In concentrative meditation, the practitioner focuses on a single sound, object, or activity, such as one’s breath. Both bring about a calm, tranquil state when practiced over time, and focus awareness in the present moment — not anxieties or pain associated with the future or past.

When applied with proper technique, meditation has been shown to be an effective management strategy for reducing pain, decreasing anxiety and stress, and controlling conditions such as blood pressure. Classes are recommended to gain the full benefit.

Causes of chronic pain are challenging to diagnose, and the management of it even more difficult. But studies have proven that much power over this condition is in the patients’ hands — and that the mind has the final say in the level of pain experienced. After all, pain is not actually registered at the site of the injury, but in the brain itself. Through the disciplined application of techniques, and the diligence to find the ones that work best, chronic pain can be managed, and a higher level of functioning attained.

Skin cancer can be classified into three types that are melanoma, basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell. In general, Skin cancer can be treated with topical agents for non-melanoma cancer. For the type of melanoma is more severe then chemotherapy and immunotherapy.

Although skin cancer is just like other types of cancer the same treatment, yet can be prevented in its early stages, with simple methods you can pay and do. Some of these steps are: 1) diet and nutrition. Avoid foods that are high in fat sugar rather consume a diet composed of fruits and vegetables as well as vitamin D-rich foods such as soy, milk, fish and cheese. Folic acid can also do a lot.

2) Try to use some effective herbs that will undoubtedly be of help. Take for example green tea, gingko biloba, ginger and milk thistle. These herbs can strengthen the immune system and prevent cancer cells from further growth. 3) Homeopathy can also be practiced.

Although these alternative treatments for skin cancer promise cure skin cancer, these treatments can prevent skin cancer development in a more serious condition a lot. Therefore, as far as possible, when you discover they have skin cancer at its early stage then you have to do its underlying causes. Skin cancer is highly treatable in its early stages, but do not let it complicate even more when it will be more expensive to treat.

Lung Cancer Treatment

The most commonly used treatments for lung cancer are surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. The exact treatment a lung cancer patient receives will depend on several factors. These include the type of cancer, the stage or extent to which it has spread at the time of diagnosis, and the overall health of the patient.

Every Cancer has A Treatment,Click To Read More http://www.healthuse.com/2009/06/lung-cancer-treatment/

Non-small cell lung cancer, which accounts for about 80 percent of lung cancer cases, is treated depending on its stage at diagnosis. Lung surgery is the mainstay of treatment for the early stages of lung cancer. Cancerous tissue, along with a margin of healthy tissue, is removed. Patients who are unable to have surgery may be treated with radiotherapy. While cure rates for early lung cancer are good, it is rarely detected in its early stages. As non-small cell cancer spreads within the chest, it is treated with some combination of surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Once cancer has spread to other parts of the body, chemotherapy and radiotherapy replace surgery as the main treatment options. A number of drugs are available, and many more are being tested in clinical trials. Radiotherapy is palliative, and while it may ease symptoms such as pain and cough, it will not stop cancer growth. If the cancer obstructs a major airway, using a laser, freezing the tumor or keeping the airway open with a stent or tube may remove the obstruction.

Small cell lung cancer, which is found in about 20 percent of lung cancer patients, is more aggressive and more likely to have spread by the time of diagnosis. It is therefore treated primarily with chemotherapy. Radiotherapy to the chest may also be used to kill off remaining cancer cells. This type of cancer often spreads to the brain. This is why radiotherapy to the brain may be used as a prophylactic even if no cancer is detected in the brain.

Anal Cancer Treatment In India At Affordable Cost

Anal Cancer Treatment

Anal Cancer Risk Factors

• Smoking cigarettes
• Infection of HPV virus
• Receiving anal intercourse
• Abnormal openings in or around the anus (fistulas)
• Having multiple sexual partners
• Being over 50 years of age
• Anal swelling, redness or soreness that occurs frequently

Symptoms of Anal Cancer

Possible signs of anal cancer include bleeding from the anus or rectum or a lump near the anus.

• Bleeding from the anus or rectum.
• Pain or pressure in the area around the anus.
• Itching or discharge from the anus.
• A lump near the anus.
• A change in bowel habits.

How is anal cancer diagnosed ?

The following tests and procedures may be used for anal cancer :

Physical exam and history : An exam of the body to check general signs of health, including checking for signs of disease, such as lumps or anything else that seems unusual. A history of the patient’s health habits and past illnesses and treatments will also be taken.

Digital rectal examination (DRE) : An exam of the anus and rectum. The doctor or nurse inserts a lubricated, gloved finger into the lower part of the rectum to feel for lumps or anything else that seems unusual.

Anoscopy : An exam of the anus and lower rectum using a short, lighted tube called an anoscope.

Proctoscopy : An exam of the rectum using a short, lighted tube called a proctoscope.

Endo-anal or endorectal ultrasound : A procedure in which an ultrasound transducer (probe) is inserted into the anus or rectum and used to bounce high-energy sound waves (ultrasound) off internal tissues or organs and make echoes. The echoes form a picture of body tissues called a sonogram.

Biopsy : The removal of cells or tissues so they can be viewed under a microscope by a pathologist to check for signs of cancer. If an abnormal area is seen during the anoscopy, a biopsy may be done at that time.

Treatment of anal cancer

The 3 main methods of treatment for anal cancer are surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. Often the best approach combines 2 or more of these strategies. In the past, surgery was the only treatment for anal cancer, but doctors have found that most anal cancers can be successfully treated with radiation and chemotherapy combined and without the need for surgery. This treatment approach, called chemo radiotherapy, is now the most widely used approach for anal cancer.

Surgery for Anal Cancer

Surgery may be done if the anal cancer is detected at an early stage, but this is not the preferred mode of therapy. Currently surgery for anal cancer is indicated only in those patients who have failed to combination of chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

Radiation therapy alone for Anal Cancer

This mode of treatment was used in Europe for early anal cancer lesions, but is associated with higher complication rates compared to combination of chemotherapy and radiation therapy, which is the preferred treatment in anal cancer.

Combined chemo-radiation for Anal Cancer

This is the preferred mode of treatment for most patients with anal cancer. About 80 to 90 percent of patients usually experience complete remission (complete disappearance of tumor) with this mode of treatment and most of these patients are cured of anal cancer.
