arch for a possible cancer cure began in late 2004 when I found out that my cousin and lifelong friend had been diagnosed as having stage-three melanoma.

Naturally, a lot of my research involved searching for ways to ward off and treat diseases and ills such as cancer, Alzheimer’s, heart disease, high blood pressure, kidney and liver disease, and so forth. When I found out...

When cancerous tumors appear, the best thing to do with them is to destroy the tumor and any cancerous residue. Killing the cancer is not difficult. The problem is that the methods used to kill the cancer also kill healthy tissue. The trick then becomes killing the cancer whilst sparing the patient. Radiation beams that are often used to treat malignant tumors can be very narrowly focused, minimizing damage to healthy tissue. However, targeting a tumor with such precision as to not damage any surrounding tissue simply isn’t possible at this time. However, advances in medical technology over the last decade has improved targeting, resulting in higher success rates and quicker recovery times. One of...

Gloria Glickman from Clifton, New Jersey remembers the day in 2000 when her 28-year-old daughter, Jennifer called her on the telephone to tell her she felt a lump in her left breast. YOU'LL BE FINE Gloria's first reaction was to tell her not to worry about it, that she was sure it was fine, but to still be sure to get it checked by a doctor. Her daughter took her mother's advice. But like most people waiting for results of a biopsy, she worried. When she called her mom about her anxiety, Gloria recalls reminding her daughter that she herself had once had a cyst and it turned out to be nothing, so she reassured her daughter that everything would be okay. MOM, IT'S MALIGNANT One week later, Gloria was...

Testing for breast cancer is quite expensive. That's because the really hard work is searching for the specific mutation. It's like proofreading the whole manuscript to find the typographical error; once you know where it is, finding it in other copies is fairly easy. Initially, there was great fear that there would be insurance discrimination against women who have been tested. So far, this has not proved to be the case. Still, it would be wise to check out the policy of your health insurance company before proceeding. Additionally, it isn't only you who will need to deal with the consequence of your decision. It will have implications for your sisters who may or may not want to get tested...

I have had countless women ask me about the validity of the connection between breast cancer and drinking water from plastic bottles. The questions and concern rose astronomically around the time that the media announced that Sheryl Crow developed breast cancer as a result of drinking water from plastic bottles she had a habit of leaving out in her hot car. This was almost too silly for me to respond to... but it has just enough validity that thousands of women would believe it in it's out-of-context form. Have plastics been linked to cancer, especially hormonal cancers like breast and prostate? You bet! What frightened me about this email circulating around the world wide web was that many people...

ince the late 1970s when Penny Laingen tied yellow ribbons around trees to bring awareness to her husband who was a hostage in the Iran Hostage Crisis of 1979-1980, ribbons have been used as powerful symbols of awareness and hope.

In the years since Laingan’s use of the yellow ribbon, it has become a symbol most associated with supporting the safe return of deployed American troops. In large part to celebrities’ support and display of the ribbons and media coverage, The New York Times declared 1992 “The Year of the Ribbon.” Since the 1990s the use of the...

There are studies that show that thyroid disorders are common in patients with this type of cancer as well as conflicting reports of their connection in literature.
