my boyfriend was diagnose with aml on january 3rd 2017 so we are new to this community for those of you who have time to read this I am go to try my good to describe our experience thus far and hopefully someone will have some advice to give I if you have any question please feel free to ask as there is a lot of information we have obtain in a short period of time and it is easy for I to miss something a little back round greg and I have been together for 7 month and we have a bit of an age gap between the two of we I just have my 22nd birthday on the 16th of december and he just have his 35th birthday the 30th of december we were both bear and raise in alaska and the both of we have never been married nor have kid often in alaska people form a type of seasonal depression in the wintertime because of the lack of sunshine and constant darkness mid november is kind of when greg start act weird in the sense that he was pretty tired most of the time and keep talk about how hard it was to get up the stair and little thing like that as athletic and active as he is I have assumption that he was develop a seasonal depression at the time he have no health insurance and as most man are do not want to see a doctor anyways as time go on his tan complexion become very pale and he develop serious lack of appetite and energy I was so confused and concerned by his behavior and tell he he need to either apply for health insurance or go to the er without insurance I think he must have some sort of anemia with the way he bruise so easily and that maybe he was depressed as well it was not only concern but it was affect our relationship I remember a couple day before christmas greg and I were lay in bed and he just flat out tell I that he know he have leukemia base on what he have read of the internet we both cry together that night especially I because the thought that my boyfriend might have cancer never even cross my mind it have hit I hard after I have read the symptom of leukemia but the possibility was so scary I just shrug it off it wasna t until the 3rd of january when he have hardly been out of bed for 3 day except to go to the bathroom and shower that I give he the ultimatum and say that he was either go to the hospital or I was go to leave he it seem like he was die before my own eye and I was not go to watch he suffer any more diagnosis it take a little less than an hour from the time we get to the er to diagnose he with leukemia fear run through I know that greg do not have any health insurance and I know this was far more than just get help for depression or anemia the news was a shock and emotion were high alaska do treat leukemia patient but I suppose that his count alarm the doctor enough that they feel as if he need to be medevaca d as soon as possible to the university of washington medical center the problem was that he have a hemoglobin the amount of oxygen in his blood of 3 where as you and I have a hemoglobin of 15 16 in order for any person to fly they at least need hemoglobin of 7 so 4 blood infusion later he was at hemoglobin of 7 and we were fly out in a leer jet around 6 am on january the 4th by some miracle greg have apply for medicaid about mid december and we have not hear from they since so he and I both assume that he was still uninsured before we leave the er a lady pop her head into our room and say something as simple as alaska medicaid is go to take care of you do not worry about anything I remember my jaw drop and this huge weight was lift of our chest duration in the hospital we arrive at the uw medical center early in the morning on january 4th our room was beautiful with a great view of a harbor and mt rainier greg was so full of energy and he finally have color in his skin again think back I was so naive yes people become pale in the winter in alaska but I should have been more alarmed when he look almost transparent and his lip were kind of a yellowish color those 4 blood bag have give he so much life our attend doctor dr pamela becker so I am tell and truly believe it is the good in the country and we are fortunate enough to have she my understanding is that the typical way that they diagnose the type of leukemia a patient have is a bone marrow biopsy but because his blood was 60 leukemia cell it mean his bone marrow was at least 60 90 leukemia cell so they do not see the need for a bone marrow biopsy as they want to start chemo as soon as possible another thing you guy should know is that on january 1st twenty one year ago greg mom pass away after a little over a year fight with all leukemia before dr becker know the type of leukemia he have they really want to look into see if his leukemia was genetic when it come back as an aml diagnosis they wipe that possibility off the table they begin his g clam chemo regiman on the 7th of january which is administer daily for 5 day the first day of chemo he have so much energy that he walk 4 mile around the oncology floor which we learn about 2 day later was a huge mistake he have do such little activity the past couple month that his calfa s have become so sore and stiff from the 4 mile walk that he literally could not walk his body could not heal he like a normal healthy person body would and it very much affect he with his symptom to come from the chemo the following night he was unable to control his bowel and I was not strong enough to be able to carry he to the restroom the first night this was happen was probably the first time in a long time that we have actually have an uncontrollable laugh I remember we were in the middle of a conversation and he sneeze and look at I in shock say hannah I just shit myself the bad part was that he couldna t lift himself up because of the condition of his calfa s so the scene was a messy one it was a little early in life than I expect but here I was change my boyfrienda s diaper which we still get a good laugh at at the same time he was run a high fever get up to 104 7 at it is high for about 4 day and have sever rigger which make his body even more sore by the 5th or 6th day he was still unable to walk but we have kind of get the diarrhea under control and we finally get some help from a physical therapist to help he get the strength to walk again on top of everything else greg is naturally a thin guy normally weigh 160 165lb at a height of 61 he weigh about 145lbs when he was admit into the hospital and if I think it was hard to get food down his throat before diagnosis chemo and fever cause by the chemo definitely do not help the situation when he was finally stabilize enough to be discharge from the hospital two week from the time we were admit he weigh 137lbs this time in the hospital all seem like a blur I was frustrate with myself because I was suppose to be the person to support he and be strong for he and I often find myself in the bathroom or hallway sobbing of course now I realize that those feeling are all very natural and for those of you read this that are the front line for your love one and feel the same way that this is all okay and we need to let ourselves feel that way now he now is an outpatient at the seattle cancer care alliance and go there every other day when he first become an outpatient we were tell that his disease itself is categorize as trisomy 6 we do his bone marrow biopsy on the 8th of february and the result come back that he still have 12 leukemia cell in his bone marrow and 0 in his blood I have hope he would be in remission so this was not the good news however the doctor reassure we that this is normal for a person who have such a high volume when he was first admit so on the 15th we start his second round of his g clam regimen he say he honestly have not feel this good in over a year and the chemo have yet to affect this I hope that since the chemo do not have as much to kill off this round that he doesna t have such a hard time with all of this like he do last time he also have gain weight since he was last in the hospital and now weigh 150lbs and look so much well than he have this past couple month his face is full and bright and is just very happy for someone with an aggressive cancer greg is an only child so they are currently look for a bone marrow donor for he right now we have 3 scenario as to what is go to happen next scenario 1 greg go into remission after this treatment and if they have a donor match then he will go straight to transplant scenario 2 greg go into remission but they have not find a donor match for he if that happen they will send we back to alaska to receive chemo treatment to keep he in remission until they find he a donor then we will go back to seattle and he will receive his transplant scenario 3 greg do not go into remission and we continue to attack the cancer with chemo treatment in seattle until he do go into remission and can get he into transplant we will not find out any of this for another 4 week when they can get a bone marrow biopsy and see where he is if he is able to go into transplant he will do the prep for transplant which I am completely unsure what this really consist of the 20 30 day prior to transplant and then when he receive his stem cell transplant he stay in transplant housing for another 100 day,neutral,1

four time cancer survivor go from heart transplant to ironman editor by sarah beston shine staff diagnosis one kyle was first diagnose with hodgkina s disease five week after his 18th birthday a you kind of step outside of yourself for a bit you are eighteen and you think are indestructible a planning the next seventy year of your life a then all of a sudden you hear a cancer diagnosis and it doesna t feel real it feel like you are live in an after school special you are stunned it is a shot to the gut it knock the wind out of you I go and spend the afternoon with friend just kind of laugh and make the transition from a wow this is really bada to a ok this is something we have to do so wea ll figure out how to do it a every day after school for the next five month kyle drive to the hospital for radiation therapy diagnosis two he attend the university of missouri and remain cancer free during his freshman year but in june of 1991 he was re diagnose with hodgkina s a I exist somewhat normally my first time around my second time around I was 100 a cancer patient at that point I go through six month of chemotherapy and that was a very different thing I lose all of my hair I look very sick I was on high dosage of the steroid prednisone which cause I to swell up and get what they call a moon face I lose all strength I was sick all the time so for that year I didna t go to school a diagnosis three in november of 1994 after almost three year of being cancer free the hodgkina s disease return for a third time both radiation and chemotherapy have fail and with few other option to explore doctor decide to do a bone marrow transplant the transplant involve a course of intense chemotherapy destroy nearly every cell of bone marrow before the stem cell could restart the system a at a certain point all of your blood count crash and then they just wipe out your immune system ita s like they throw you off a boat into the water you sit there and start to sink and then they throw you the life preserver thata s kind of how the treatment go and hopefully you are lucky enough to catch the life preserver I was lucky enough to catch the preserver and make it through the bone marrow transplant a diagnosis four more than two year remove from the bone marrow transplant kyle have graduate from college and was work as a sport writer at fox sport net when he was diagnose with a secondary leukemia on july 23 1997 the acute lymphocytic leukemia have been cause by the chemotherapy drug vp 16 which was give to kyle during the bone marrow transplant a I truly believe I have been hand my death sentence I was no long a rookie I have read a lot about it I know what kind of thing were happen to my body and I know what leukemia mean I also know that get leukemia from chemotherapy make it even bad and I know that because of my weak heart due to the chemo drug adriamycin they couldna t treat I as aggressively as they might have someone healthy I really think when the doctor tell I that I have leukemia that he was basically tell I that I was go to die a three long year of chemotherapy follow a most day were pretty long and I was pretty sick and there was a lot of pain involve so what I try to do was just focus on try to have a good half an hour every day then I could use that to get I to the next day that half hour could be a friend come by to talk baseball each morning when I would wake up I would try to figure out where I could find those thirty minute it was really about the people in my life I really enjoy my time with they and I wasna t ready to quit at that point I have think a lot about my own death and ia d come to the realization that I wasna t afraid of die but I was sure not ready to be do live a doctor come up with a course of chemotherapy that cure the leukemia without cause any further damage his already weaken heart after four bout with two different kind of blood cancer kyle was free of cancer but his heart condition was continue to deteriorate it eventually land he on a heart transplant list in 2001 more than five year later kyle get the call a donor heart have been find and was wait for he a the heart transplant was different because they were actually go to be restore I it was scary but there was also some excitement because I know eventually the cloud would lift and on the other side of the cloud I would find what could pass for normal life I would be get strong as each day pass a throughout his battle kyle recognize that a the meaning in our own life come from help other a he have since devote his life to serve other through his motivational speak his write his memoir a heart of irona come out this november and a commitment to the leukemia lymphoma society and their team in training program team in training help train nearly half a million runner walker triathlete cyclist and hiker who raise money to fund lifesave cancer research kyle begin train and compete in triathlon eleven month after his heart transplant kyle cross the finish line of his first race as a triathlete in the 2007 nautica malibu triathlon and is now train for a his everesta to be the first heart transplant recipient to complete the kona ironman in hawaii why a because I can because I shouldna t be able to because for so long I couldna t because there are so many I know who never will because the scar on my chest hip and shoulder tell my story they tell the story of my heart donor a a man who exit this world far too early but in death leave behind the most precious gift imaginable a kyle believe that the strength of the human spirit is what get we through the tough time a the nice thing about being down in the valley is that there is always a mountain on the other side of it you just have to get through that valley and once you do you can start to climb out again no sadness or pain or fear is permanent there is always something good around the corner there is a lot of beauty in life most of

virus relate virus xmrv in the blood of patient with chronic fatigue syndrome cfs establish that a retrovirus may play a role in the pathology in this disease knowledge of the immune response might lead to a well understanding of the role xmrv play in this syndrome our objective was to investigate the cytokine and chemokine response in xmrv associate cfs material and method use luminex multi analyte profiling technology we measure cytokine and chemokine value in the plasma of xmrv infect cfs patient and compare these datum to those of healthy control analysis was perform use the gene expression pattern analysis suite and the random forest tree classification algorithm result this study identify a signature of 10 cytokine and chemokine which correctly identify xmrv cfs patient with 93 specificity and 96 sensitivity conclusion these datum show for the first time an immunological pattern associate with xmrv cfs introduction chronic fatigue syndrome cfs is a poorly understand disease of unknown etiology which is commonly characterize by innate immune defect chronic immune activation and dysregulation often lead to neurological malady review in 1 it can also involve other biological system such as the musculoskeletal gastrointestinal and endocrinological system 2 4 although several common symptom are primarily report and predominate they may differ among individual are often intermittent and can persist for year frequently result in substantial disability 5 some of the most commonly report physical symptom include muscle weakness and pain tender or swollen lymph node and chronic flu like symptom 6 memory and concentration impairment blur vision dizziness and sleep abnormality represent some of the cognitive symptom typically observe while immunological symptom often manifest themselves through viral reactivation rnase l dysregulation decrease natural killer nk cell function and susceptibility to opportunistic infection 7 12 nk cell dysregulation may be associate with viral reactivation or viral persistence and may also lead to malignancy 13 14 indeed clinical observation corroborate pathological manifestation in cfs as viral reactivation particularly herpe virus such as cytomegalovirus cmv epstein barr virus ebv and human herpe virus 6 hhv 6 are common occurrence 15 17 moreover epidemiological study have report increase incidence of lymphoma associate with cfs outbreak 18 these clinical observation suggest that a compromise innate immune system may play a role in cfs pathology the completion of the human genome project enable positional cloning study to identify the rnasel gene as the hereditary prostate cancer allele 1 hpc1 19 this discovery prompt robert silverman and his colleague to search for a viral component to hereditary prostate cancer use a viral micro array and tissue biopsy from individual with hereditary prostate cancer they identify and sequence the complete genome of a novel human gammaretrovirus very similar in sequence to xenotropic murine leukemia virus and therefore term the new virus xenotropic murine leukemia virus relate virus xmrv 20 subsequent study perform in our laboratory identify and isolate infectious xmrv in the blood of 67 of cfs patient 21 this work was perform use multiple technique include pcr electron microscopy show bud viral particle western blot analysis of viral protein and serology confirm that infected patient express antibody to xmrv envelope protein in addition gene sequence and phylogenetic analysis confirm these patient were indeed infect with xmrv that was 99 identical to previously publish sequence but was obviously distinct from the only exist xmrv molecular clone vp62 20 take together this work clearly rule out any possibility of gross contamination and additionally represent the first identification and isolation of naturally occur infectious xmrv the connection between cfs and xmrv was far support by the study of lo et al who identify murine leukemia virus mlv relate sequence in the blood of 86 of cfs patient far establish a retroviral association with cfs 22 presently three family of retrovirus are know to infect human the human immunodeficiency viruse hiv the human t cell leukemia viruse htlv and now the human murine leukemia relate virus both hiv and htlv are know to dysregulate the innate immune system and promote the production of inflammatory cytokine and chemokine 23 24 in light of the association between xmrv and cfs it is not surprising that some of the most salient observation in cfs are the difference in cytokine and chemokine when compare to healthy control 8 previous report however address the role of these molecule in cfs have produce conflicting result much of this emerge from such hindrance as small sample size a limited number of cytokine survey at one time insufficient patient population stratification and insufficient negative control subject this have result in inconsistent report in the literature for a number of cytokine include interleukin il 6 10 and 12 in spite of these conflict result a number of cytokine and chemokine have consistently been show to be associate with different subgroup of cfs for instance natelson et al show elevated level of il 8 and il 10 in the cerebral spinal fluid of patient with sudden influenza like onset cfs when compare to healthy control 25 additionally chao et al have show neopterin and il 6 to be up regulate in subset of cfs patient indicative of a pro inflammatory immune condition 26 however these study do not analyze the complex relationship between multiple cytokine and clinical disease by apply conventional statistical analysis and machine logic algorithm to the multiplex datum it is possible to identify cytokine and chemokine that are differentially express between two group to support this premise we have use the xmap multi analyte profiling technology that allow simultaneous measurement of multiple biomarker in serum or plasma in this study a panel of 26 cytokine chemokine and growth and angiogenic factor were analyze in blood plasma of cfs patient and healthy control subject this study reveal a signature of 10 cytokine and chemokine which show a specificity of 93 and sensitivity of 96 in diagnose xmrv associate cfs in this patient cohort full text here http www megaupload com d v980uchy if

hello first of all I want you wish all of you a good health and a positive thinking secondly I am sorry for my english as it is not my first language I want to tell you my mother experience in lam m2 1 in april may 2013 she was diagnose with lam m2 and we have confirmation from other hospital abroad as well she have at that time 55 blast she start the first course of chemo in may 2013 7 3 regiman and also together with anti infectious prophylaxis at that time she have some adverse reaction after platelet allergic reaction bone marrow after the first course was 28 blast 2 second therapy june july 2013 the 7 3 regiman have been stop in day 6 follow by severe neutropenia and thrombocytopeinia for 28 day and mild cutaneous reaction to platelet 3 third chemo august 2013 7 3 regiman 7 day of well tollerance fast hemathological recovery 4 chemo 4 therapy with ara c 500 mg and doxorubicin 90 mg bone marrow evaluation 7 5 chemo 5 chemo well tolerate severe neutropenia for 7 day severe thromocytopenia for 10 day alergic shock after platelet transfusion this is one of the bad moment as my mother was near death at that time the doctor need to continue the transfusion but it was impossible at the same time because of the allergic shock in that moment she begin take afa algae complex formula one day later when the doctor check the platelet they conclude that the transfusion is not need anymore the value increase hour by hour day by day they could not explain why when I ask they an opinion on the afa algae and the increase of the vlaue they simply tell I that there is no link whatsoever right now she begin take ahhc as well briefly since then no more transfusion and the hematologyc level were fine some doctor tell I that without afa algae when would have been dead sorry for grammar 6 chemo 6 the doctor decide for a non aggressive regimen 2 5 even if the doctor prepare blood product they do not need they the combination was afa algae 6 pill per day ahcc 2 pill per day in january 2014 the bone marrow show 6 7 blast another chemo at that time and in feb as well as I remember 7 in march my mother tell the doctor that she need a pause of 30 40 day the bone marrow show around 4 blast the blood composition was fine conclusion since nov 2013 since she take afa and ahcc 1 fast recovery after chemo 1 2 day of neutropenia only 2 good and balanced health right now my mother is in holiday with my father in the mountain she feel perfect she walk all day on the mountain she sleep well she check her blood and all the analysis say that all value are very good few week ago I ask her doctor about the afa algae and ahcc if there is any link between her good state since november and afa and ahcc finally he admit that in any case they contribute to the good health she have now moreover all the doctor discuss and they conclude that they need to prescribe to their patient unofficially ahcc and afa also since february my mother take resveratrol 200 mg as I read in many study the resveratrol is able to provoke the aptosis of the leukemia cell and the remake of the leukemia stem cell my comment after 1 year of reading 1 the chemo alone do not cure it only kill the blast and keep they at a low level this could be in many case a temporarily solution that s why many patience relapse as a metaphor let say we have a lot of rat blast in a room the chemo kill they one by one sometimes 3 at a time sometimes 6 at a time the rat blast keep come though from where they come from the rat hole we have in the wall the leukemia stem cell so in my humble opinion we can use chemo when the level of blast is high and once we get a low level we have to work on kill leukemia stem cell for instance resveratrol provoke the leukemic cell apoptosis and repair the good stem cell,neutral,1

hi I am write to this group to get some idea my brother just today was in the hospital for heart arrythmias pulse jump to 168 episodically he have wpw in the past which is an extra electrical lead of the heart but they fix it through surgery so he is not suppose to have that anymore however the hospital do blood test and tell we that everything was fine except for his potassium which was low I ask for a copy of the blood test and am very confused even though they say he was fine multiple thing are out of normal range here is what is abnormal potassium 3 3 low glucose blood 102 fast as he have not eat anything so far that day rbc red blood cell 4 43 m ml low hct hemocrit 39 2 low that is odd enough and indicate mild anemia but the abnormality do not stop there neutrophil 43 low lymphocyte 45 high I use good old google to look at what these result could mean and I keep see leukemia pop up it make I worry so I look at symptom and he do have some of they he is tired a lot is underweight do not seem to have an appetite anymore as well as pain in his bone and joint we always think it was a form of arthritis am I worry too much are result like these indicative of other thing or just slightly off and nothing to worry about or do you think that perhaps he need to be test I keep see that high lymphocyte plus low neutrophil and low red blood cell is indicative of chronic lymphocytic leukemia he have no primary doctor at the moment his doctor apparently is in trouble with the law suddenly and drop all of his patient so I am mainly just try to find out what is wrong with he thank for any idea,neutral,1

I am new here and have been have a very difficult time try to compose myself lately for the past few year I have suffer from immense anxiety and have my first real panic attack this past summer that was the first time that I was prescribe anything to relieve my symptom since it was the first time in my life where I was unable to calm myself down naturally that incident may be irrelevant but I have not feel the same since my real issue now is what I have been deal with for the past month and a half I have my hair color at a salon with a glaze treatment which supposedly have less chemical and is less dangerous than permanent hair dye my hair look great and I was very happy with the result I try something new and decide to try and go a week without wash it only to preserve the color the first few day were fine but by the end of the week I feel ridiculously greasy and could not wait to shower I notice that I develop a large cyst like pimple near my ear I do not think anything of it and just continue to wash my hair every three day or so none of this seem to be a concern until I notice a strange lump in my neck directly under my hairline in the back I notice it somewhere after color my hair at the very beginning of december I do not experience other symptom at that point and was not terribly worry the early day of being aware of this lump were not severe as I was still finish up the semester and very busy with work and college as soon as my vacation start I begin obsess over the lump and touch it frequently I would poke it basically all throughout the day after a few week pass thing start to get very severe with my anxiety I begin do the bad possible thing I could do to myself which is google symptom I google symptom is basically an automatic anxiety attack yet somehow I can not seem to stop I initially google my symptom hope to relieve myself but then all that seem to do is just project symptom that I was unaware of onto myself as I am google I of course immediately see cancer leukemia lymphoma hiv and more I become immediately uneasy at these thought which result in a complete google frenzy of look up more and just upset myself even far as the week progress my symptom appear to be get bad I start check my temperature daily and never have a fever it was only when I start research leukemia that I begin to worry about my recent salon visit the leukemia content state that some cause have been link to hair dye mainly prior to the 1980 and with frequent use of hair dye I have never use a permanent hair color on my hair and only use the glaze maybe three time in my life what really frighten I was the fact that I leave the hair dye on my scalp for a week before wash it of course the stylist wash my hair twice after color it but I do see some remain on my scalp I do not know how relevant any of this is but that was my main concern follow the research also the chair where you sit in to have your hair wash is often time painful and uncomfortable I think that maybe I irritate my lymph node from sit there but that pleasant explanation is long go now my husband start to get feed up with my panic and frequent phone call he insist that I make an appointment with my doctor which was about a week ago the doctor examine I take my temperature blood pressure and speak with I he say that it was an isolated lymph node he check my liver and spleen and all were fine he state that with serious condition such as lymphoma or leukemia the spleen and liver would often be enlarge and there would be a continuous fever there have not been a fever since this incident he ask I to come back in 10 15 day if it do not go away I should have leave the office happy I guess but no I leave in absolute panic and tear my husband could not understand why I was not relieve by this information after this visit thing progress for the bad since then I am feel my neck and body constantly my arm feel sore I am find other bump in my neck and under my jaw my husband have feel these area and claim that nothing is there but something seem wrong I find myself go into panic and hysterical crying fit and thing are just not get well for I I want to wake up and just have this stupid lump go but so far it have not change one other symptom that I feel I should mention the day after my doctor visit I wake to the most painful sensation in my left ear the side where the lump is I recall being asleep on that ear when wake up but this was possibly the bad pain I have ever feel in my life it was deep within the ear and do not subside for at least 10 15 minute I have not have that happen since but my ear seem to have a strange sensation now I have been unable to enjoy any part of my winter break and feel as if I am get bad I dread my next doctor visit and can not seem to pull myself together day by day I am close myself in and avoid socialization and feel depressed every single day my big fear is that I have something severe like cancer there is no history of any kind of blood or lymphatic cancer in my family I have not been expose to the list risk and cause of these disease which include weird radiation exposure genetic predisposition or chemotherapy from past cancer my last blood work was do about a year ago and that show no indication of a high white blood cell count or an illness I apologize for this long and elaborate post but this is my first time use a support group forum and I just want to include as much information as possible I hope someone out there can help thank you,negative,0

op ed contributor a case of chronic denial by hillary johnson publish october 20 2009 http www nytimes com 2009 10 21 opinion 21johnson html _ r 2 emc tnt tntemail0 y early this month a study publish in the journal science answer a question that medical scientist have been ask since 2006 when they learn of a novel virus find in prostate tumor call xenotropic murine leukemia virus relate virus or xmrv was it a human infection xmrv is a gammaretrovirus one of a family of virus long study in animal but not know to infect people in animal these retrovirus can cause horrendous neurological problem immune deficiency lymphoma and leukemia the new study provide overwhelming evidence that xmrv is a human gammaretrovirus the third human retrovirus after h i v and human lymphotropic virus which cause leukemia and lymphoma infection is permanent and yes it can spread from person to person though it is not yet know how the virus is transmit that would have been news enough but there was more xmrv have been discover in people suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome a malady whose very existence have been a subject of debate for 25 year for sufferer of this disease the news have offer enormous hope being seriously ill for year even decade is nightmarish enough but patient are also the target of ridicule and hostility that stem from the perception that it is all in their head in the study 67 percent of the 101 patient with the disease were find to have xmrv in their cell if further study find that xmrv actually cause their condition it may open the door to useful treatment at least it will be time to jettison the stigmatize name chronic fatigue syndrome the illness become famous after an outbreak in 1984 around lake tahoe in nevada several hundred patient develop flu like symptom like fever sore throat and headache that lead to neurological problem include severe memory loss and inability to understand conversation most of they were infect with several virus at once include cytomegalovirus epstein barr and human herpesvirus 6 their doctor were stump the center for disease control and prevention the nation presume bulwark against emerge infectious disease dismiss the epidemic and say the tahoe doctor have work themselves into a frenzy the sufferer a c d c investigator tell I at the time were not normal americans when by 1987 the suppose hysteria fail to evaporate and indeed continue erupt in other part the country the health agency orchestrate a jocular referendum by mail among a handful of academic to come up with a name for it the group settle on chronic fatigue syndrome the use of syndrome rather than disease suggest a psychiatric rather than physical origin and would thus discourage public panic and prevent insurer from have to make chronic disbursement as one of the academic joke an 11th hour plea by a nascent patient organization to call the disease by the scientific name use in britain myalgic encephalomyelitis was reject by the c d c as overly complicated and too confusing for many nonmedical person have the agency do nothing in response to this epidemic patient would now be well off the name function as a kind of social punishment patient were brand malingerer by family friend journalist and insurance company and were deny medical care its no coincidence that suicide is among the three lead cause of death among sufferer soon the malady come to be widely consider a personality disorder or something that sufferer bring upon themselves a recent study finance by the c d c suggest that childhood trauma or sexual abuse combine with a genetic inability to handle stress is a key risk factor for chronic fatigue syndrome many people do not realize how severe this illness can be it is mark by memory and cognition problem and physical collapse after any mental or physical exertion the various co infection that occur only make matter bad many patient are bedridden and recovery is rare a significant number of patient have been ill for more than two decade dr nancy klima an immunologist at the university of miami school of medicine who treat aids and chronic fatigue syndrome remark in the time last week that if give the choice she would prefer to have aid my h I v patient for the most part are hale and hearty she say note that billion of dollar have been spend on aid research many of my c f s patient on the other hand are terribly ill and unable to work or participate in the care of their family congress have appropriate money for research on chronic fatigue syndrome too though in far small amount but the c d c have seem unwilling to spend it productively a decade ago investigation by the inspector general for the department of health and human service and what was then call the general accounting office reveal that for year government scientist have been funnel million mean for research on this disease into other pet project as public health official focus on psychiatric explanation the virus apparently spread widely in the new study active xmrv infection were find in 3 7 percent of the healthy control test roughly the same degree of infection in healthy people have been find in the prostate research if this is representative of the united states as a whole then as many as 10 million americans may carry the retrovirus it is estimate that more than a million americans are seriously ill with the disease not everyone infect with xmrv will necessarily get chronic fatigue syndrome in the same way that not all of the 1 1 million americans infect with h i v will get aid hint that a retroviral infection might play a role in chronic fatigue syndrome have been present from the beginning in 1991 dr elaine defreita a virologist at the wistar institute in philadelphia find retroviral dna in 80 percent of 30 chronic fatigue patient the c d c go so far as to try to replicate her effort but refuse to follow her exact method for find the virus in addition the center blood sample became contaminate and some people at the agency say that administrator end the research prematurely rather than admit any such failure the c d c publicly criticize dr defreitass finding that episode have a chilling effect on other researcher in the field and the search for the cause was largely abandon for 20 year now judy mikovit the retrovirus expert at the whittemore peterson institute in reno nev who lead the recent study have revisit the cold case not surprisingly the institute is private create by the parent of a woman who suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome but dr mikovit collaborate with scientist at the national cancer institute and the cleveland clinic when she begin her work on this disease in 2006 dr mikovit a 22 year veteran of the national cancer institute know little about chronic fatigue syndrome but she was intrigue that an unusually high number of patient being follow by a nevada doctor were suffer rare lymphoma and leukemia at least one have die and she was also impressed that the doctor dan peterson have build an extraordinary repository of more than 8 000 chronic fatigue syndrome tissue sample go back as far as 1984 my hypothesis was this is a retrovirus and I was go to use that repository to find it dr mikovits tell I what she find was live or replicate xmrv in both frozen and fresh blood and plasma as well as saliva she have find the virus in sample go back to 1984 and in nearly all the patient who develop cancer she expect the positivity rate will be close to 100 percent in the disease its amazing to I that anyone could look at these patient and not see that this is an infectious disease that have ruin life dr mikovits say she have also give the disease a properly scientific new name x associate neuroimmune disease for patient who have been abandon to quackish theory and harsh ideology about their illness for 25 year the dismantling of chronic fatigue syndrome can not come soon enough hillary johnson is the author

the dopamine theory of fibromyalgia which dr wood instigate propose that a combination of genetic and environmental factor such as stress and trauma cause a reduction in the production of dopamine in the brain of people with fibromyalgia syndrome and the reduce level of dopamine then go on to cause other abnormality and cause the symptom of fibromyalgia syndrome wood pb stress and dopamine implication for the pathophysiology of chronic widespread pain med hypothesis 2004 62 3 420 4 so basically he is say that stress and our sensitivity to trauma is cause our illness how is that different from say it is all in our head and you re just too sensitive to pain dr woods say we have a reduce dopamine activity in the central nervous system and an abnormal dopamine response to pain well of course we do if our body have been under constant stress because of an underlying disease our brain have been force to produce excess dopamine to help we cope with our disease and what happen when you ring a doorbell a thousand or a million time that doorbell is go to break so I am not surprised we have low level of dopamine it is the consequence of being ill for a long time without get a proper diagnosis take a look at the memorial list from the national cfids foundation http www ncf net org memorial htm d and please sift through all the cause of death complication of cfid which mean absolutely nothing and look for the exact cause of death and you will find the follow multiple sclerosis chronic leukemia nh lymphoma scleroderma sub dermal hematoma myocardial fibrosis brain stroke brain cancer suicide due to unbearable pain sepsis liver disease chlamydia pneumonia myocarditis what is the common thread which link all of these condition none except an untimely death from a known cause which was not treat properly because the patient was diagnose with cifds and I think the same thing apply to fm a good case in point is leahrobin recent post I do not have fibro after 15 year she was finally diagnose with strongyloide but in the meantime what do she have fibromyalgia and I think the same thing apply to all of we I honestly believe cfid and fm have become a trashcan diagnosis for other treatable disease which the doctor have not been able to diagnose and with all due respect to dr lavin whom I admire very much even our autonomic dysfunction must have an underlying cause but do you know why we have not been diagnose properly because doctor go by the textbook and medical textbook only mention the typical symptom of a certain disease accord to the bell curve so if you have leukemia and you do not present the typical symptom and test result one would expect to see with this disease the doctor will not pick up on it and have no other alternative they will diagnose you with fm or cfid so why am I get so work up about this because we all have a real disease it is not in our head and it is not cause by stress obviously when you re stress out you feel bad because your body have less energy to fight your underlying disease but it is not the cause of your condition and personally I refuse to be diagnose with cfid and or fm because I truly believe my life depend on it there is something wrong with I I know it and I am determined to find out what it is even if it kill I,neutral,1

xmrv question and answer post 11 18 2009 http www cancer gov newscenter pressrelease xmrv_qanda key point xmrv is a virus that is closely relate to virus that cause cancer and other disease in mouse question 1 the role of xmrv in cancer and disease in human is unclear question 2 the virus have been link to prostate cancer and chronic fatigue syndrome but currently there is no evidence that the virus cause a disease question 3 1 what is xmrv xmrv or xenotropic murine leukemia virus relate virus is a type of virus call a retrovirus that was first identify in 2006 in the prostate tumor of man it is closely relate to murine leukemia virus which cause a wide variety of cancer and immunological and neurological disease in mice although it is not know how xmrv is transmit preliminary study suggest this could occur via blood and other bodily fluid it is know that xmrv is not spread in the air like influenza virus there is currently no evidence to suggest that xmrv is cause a spread epidemic the origin of xmrv are unknown but researcher suspect that it may have arise by cross species transmission to human from mouse or possibly from another animal specie 2 what is a retrovirus a retrovirus is a type of virus that have rna instead of dna as its genetic material rna have several role but it primarily is the molecule that translate and transfer material from dna inside the host cell retroviral rna is reverse transcribe to produce viral dna that insert into the host chromosome allow many copy of the virus to be make when retrovirus infect germ cell sperm or egg endogenous virus can develop the integrated viral dna or provirus is pass from parent to offspring there is no evidence suggest that xmrv can do this in human retrovirus are find in a wide range of mammal and may contribute to the development of cancer such as leukemia or lymphoma and neurological disease the first of two human retrovirus identify htlv 1 have been find to cause adult t cell leukemia and htlv ii is not associate with any disease human immunodeficiency virus hiv which cause aid is a different type of retrovirus 3 what is the link between xmrv and cancer or other disease whether xmrv play a role in cancer and other disease remain unclear research show a possible association but currently there is no evidence that the virus cause a disease the virus was first discover in tumor from man with prostate cancer and was mostly find in combination with a specific genetic defect in a gene call rnasel which when unmutated help defend the body against virus recent research have suggest that chronic viral infection with xmrv might be associate in some way with prostate cancer a 2009 study of more than 300 prostate tissue sample collect from american man find that xmrv was present in 27 percent of the tumor sample and six percent of the noncancerous prostate sample in man who have not been diagnose with prostate cancer the virus was more commonly find in man with aggressive tumor but in this study xmrv infection was not associate with the rnasel defect which may indicate that all individual may be at risk in contrast a research group in germany find no association between xmrv and prostate tumor they analyze 589 prostate tumor sample for the presence of the virus and test blood sample from 146 of the prostate cancer patient for antibody to the virus another german study and an irish study find no evidence of a link between xmrv and prostate cancer these difference in finding highlight the need for more research on this virus the variation in result could be because of methodological difference or the study were test for different strain of xmrv another reason is that the virus may be more prevalent in certain geographical region the virus have also been identify in patient with chronic fatigue syndrome a study look at cluster of case in nevada florida and south carolina find that 67 percent of 101 chronic fatigue syndrome patient were infect with xmrv but less than four percent of 218 healthy people were infect the virus was detect in white blood cell while viral particle were detect in plasma the non cellular portion of the blood take together these finding do not indicate that xmrv cause cancer or chronic fatigue syndrome if the virus is find to be the causative agent for any human disease these finding could lead to well way to screen for the disease inform treatment strategy and may eventually lead to strategy to prevent the occurrence of the disease but much research will need to be do to establish causation before any of these test or strategy would be undertake 4 what is the prevalence xmrv infection in the general population the number of healthy people infect with xmrv and what the distribution of infection is within the you s and worldwide is unknown the virus have been detect in about four percent of individual from the same geographical region as infected patient with chronic fatigue syndrome an analysis of more than 300 prostate tissue sample find that the virus was present in six percent of noncancerous prostate these study suggest that xmrv infection could be widespread but there is no evidence for a new increase or spread xmrv infection the nci is develop molecular tool to determine the incidence of xmrv in the general population and is involve in coordinate a global effort to study the prevalence and distribution of xmrv 5 how is xmrv transmit the route s by which xmrv is transmit from person to person are unknown some study suggest that the virus may be transmit though seman or saliva but at this point there is no direct evidence to support this suggestion give that the virus have been detect in white blood cell blood bear transmission is a possibility more research is need before guideline can be establish but it might be prudent for potentially infect individual to refrain from donate blood it also is important to note that retrovirus like xmrv are not airborne virus 6 what is the current understanding of xmrv there is still much to be learn about xmrv the virus is associate with prostate cancer and chronic fatigue syndrome but whether it is involve in cause these disease have not been prove laboratory and population study will help determine the role that xmrv play in these disease the virus could be merely a passenger virus that prefer to grow in rapidly divide cell such as prostate cancer cell individual with prostate cancer or chronic fatigue syndrome might be more susceptible to xmrv infection because of change in their immune system xmrv could be only one of many factor genetic or environmental that are involve in the progression to disease many other question about xmrv need to be address whether the virus play a role in other disease and how the virus is transmit are unclear the nci is involve in coordinate a global effort to study the extent of infection in the general population population study use well validate blood and genetic test will help provide an understanding of the prevalence distribution origin and mode of transmission of xmrv 7 how is nci address concern about xmrv the nci is work to develop diagnostic tool so that the prevalence of xmrv in the general public can be determine and its association with disease can be examine the origin and mode of xmrv transmission in human population are key public health issue that nci scientist are address follow a recent series of nci sponsor meeting priority were establish to address research issue the nci is mobilize its resource in cancer biology diagnostic assay development drug development epidemiology population study immunology and retrovirology to address these issue as rapidly as possible include develop suitable well validate test to detect xmrv infection and use these to search for evidence of infection in forward look as well as historical population study to understand the prevalence distribution relationship to disease cfs prostate cancer and potentially other cancer and mode of transmission of xmrv develop suitable model for infection and disease perform patient base study to probe the causality and mechanism of disease induction by

below is the journey of a little 4 year old girl name abigail I have never meet abigail personally but I know her dad and her good friend emily emily live on my street and emilys dad do some painting in our home a little over a year ago they were a struggle christian family at that time as it was hard for he to find contracting work in the small community we live in not too long after that I have learn from his friend in the neighborhood that they have move north and that he was now a border patrol inspector this past january there was a prayer request at church for a family who have a little girl name abigail that have been emergency medevace out by helicopter to have a blood transfusion several hundred mile away and that they have just learn that she have leukemia I ask the person if it was the same family it was since they begin their 2 3 year medical treatment they have a join the caringbridge org website and have start a log about their journey so that friend family and prayer partner can keep abr of their experience I have select a few excerpt from the entry because even though it do not pertain to estrangement it do certainly speak volume of how other christian do have their heartbreaking trial that are just as painful and just as challenging as their situation is recently I was read how some here have reach the point of give up because the struggle just seem to be too hard to keep go on I know from personal experience just what they are go through because I was there too for I in order for I not to fall back into that pit of despair I depend on god bring I people like the following to help I to feel so much love and gratitude to and for our lord precious wisdom just recently there was a topic about unanswered prayer this familys amazing story of strength and courage in the face of adversity is just what god lead I to in order to tell I that he have been there all along in my own situation and that good do come from adversity it also speak of how sometimes seemingly unanswered prayer is really answer prayer after all and sometime not the way that we think is good for we _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ january 19 2013 I was over come with emotion the other day when it dawn on I just what an all know all powerful god we have I still deeply mourn the loss of our son michael his due date would have been feb 9 2013 all along I have been think that the timing would be perfect and then for god to take he home to heaven you question why I am not angry or bitter but sometimes you just need answer sometimes god give they and sometimes not he give I the answer to my question why he know that this situation with abigail was go to take place he know that she would need I for I to have have a new bear baby just a few week after find out abigail have leukemia and have to go through all that she have to he know tear january 26 2013 yesterday abigail was discharge from the hospital after the three hour drive we get back to our house close to 10 pm the kid were exhaust after a long day esp for abigail who have have procedure do that day as well as a chemo treatment well when we get there we quickly realize that the furnace have stop work the house was fill with smoke and the pipe freeze so those that know I well know that yes I just laugh it was either that or cry I mean seriously our precious daughter was just diagnose with leukemia have been through so much this past week and now this we make several phone call include one to our pastor I ask if he know of a place we could just crash for the night he graciously put we up in a local hotel for the night michaels port director come by offer her support and help the kid and I get settle in the hotel while michael stay at the house work with the specialist before we even go to bed last night a family from the church which have a home they were not use offer it to we to stay until we get thing straighten out is god faithful or what the song I am a friend of god come to my head this morning I am so glad I can call he my friend god is so good february 5 2013 a handful of hair I have always enjoy brushing and do abigail hair but recently it is been bittersweet with each pass day more and more hair come out not just a few piece but by the time I am do brush her hair the entire brush is full of hair it is hard see she lose her hair it is hard to see she double over in pain due to constipation because of medication it is hard watch she walk up the stair and struggle to get to the top because in her word it is just so hard am I bitter no frustrated irritated question why yes sometimes but not bitter and this is why I have been there do that in the past bitterness is something that I have struggle with if I tell you the circumstance why I was bitter you d probably understand and might even agree with I it was not until a crisis point that I realize how bitter I really was and if I have not have a high power to help I I would not have been able to conquer it it was so deep that humanly it was impossible to gain victory over when I come to the realization of it my daily prayer to the lord the high power was god please take this bitterness away from I short simple and to the point it was not an overnight turn around it take a lot of effort on my part and a lot patience on god part but between the two of we we manage to get it under control during this process I come across this quote it say bitterness is like swallow poison and expect the other person to die from it hmmm I think that is pretty good I read it again bitterness is like swallow poison and expect the other person to die from it wow wow that is really good I think how true is that whether you re bitter at a situation a person or even god who is it hurt is it hurt the situation individual or god no it is only hurt you yourself and those around you probably the one you love most I am sure everyone have at least once experience being around a bitter person you walk away exhausted and maybe even a little depressed yourself so to answer the question that some have ask no I am not bitter and with god help I will not allow bitterness back into my life will I have bad day deal with this situation of course but life is too short to allow another minute of bitterness back in I can not even imagine what kind of mother I would be to abigail right now if I was still bitter she need the good right now and that is what I am go to give her http www caringbridge org visit abigailjohnston mystory _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ to I it is not that they have horrendous struggle right now we all do it is how this family respond to it that is so humble to I to put it good shatterdmom say this in a recent reply I do know the bible state that god way are not our way his thought are high than our thought amen,neutral,1

so when I was dxd with lyme in 2007 I think it was after go through every other test imaginable my doc convince my I have leukemia and so on my wbc was high month after month and they could not find a reason or source for it at it is high it was about 15 000 I go to the hospital last week about 4 am wednesday morning because my heart rate while lay in bed was 130 and I was getting very disorient I have grave disease hyperthyroid as well but have been medicate treat for over 5 year now now my thyroid is high than it was in the beginning of my symptom and I am being super medicated for my heart and thyroid leave I zombifie right now it all the blood work they are many abnormality high platelet high glucose low iron and very high white blood count at 21 000 the first doctor on staff was so concerned he want to admit I think I have some horrible infection 3 day later and massive amount of blood culture take they find nothing normally I know well than to bring up lyme because that gets knock down quickly but I mention it as it is an infection that can cause many of my symptom and blood work they would not even do a lyme test at my request that was pretty stupid if you ask I I think maybe that if I get dxd again with lyme the stupid doctor that they are would automatically treat I as a new case new tick and maybe my insurance would pay for the iv treatment again hey I can dream right I am just stuck and do not know what to do there is no help if you can not afford it because insurance company rule the world or at least america obviously my body is scream that something is wrong no one will listen or try to help I got discharge with amoxicillin because they recognize that something have to be wrong somewhere whatever it is my new attitude about everything whatever it is just too frustrating to deal with anymore sorry just have to vent it out,negative,0

ok so I talk to my bone marrow transplant doctor today about collect the baby umbilical cord for stem cell he say that it really is not that effective for anyone that is have just one baby in all likelihood they would not be use for the same child even if they were to develop leukemia they look at the national marrow registry but he do say that with all the advance in technology that it could someday change he do say that if there is any kind of familial disease that could be treat with a stem cell transplant you never know what the future may hold if you have more then one child he do recommend it I specifically ask he if use an egg donor change anything he say no not really but if money is not an issue he say that it could be a wise choice so now I stand undecided money really is not too much of an issue especially when I think what the future may hold I obviously am alive because of a stem cell transplant from my brother heaven forbid my child ever develop cancer some degenerative disease or even a spinal cord injury medicine advance every day it could save their life so even a doctor that specialize in stem cell transplant say umbilical cord preservation have its pro con I guess it turn out to be a personal choice is it worth the money could it actually be useful in the future could medicine advance enough in our children lifetime to make it worth while at this point I want to say yes I am think hard seriously about this one I hope this give you each something to think about,negative,0

I think I m kind of level out as far as euphoria or maybe that is just wear myself out get all my home improvement job do I do not feel as euphoric as I do last week but I m not crave alcohol at all so many thing are well at home at work and so on no hangover no thought of call in sick am sober when hubby get home help granddaughter with homework and so on hubby is still have a bit of a hard time because our house use to be disgust he d clean it on wednesday now I m wash dish nightly straighten and so on he say he do not like the new rule about have to clean up after himself nightly pick up his soda can and so on on one hand I guess I could let it go on the other I just like our house clean and it keep I busy and occupy today it hit I hard that my mom will likely die in the next few month she s terminal leukemia she s do chemo but the doctor tell we she s get only month even with chemo I have a moment of sadness this am that is never been close with she she s a very negative person who have betray I many time however in the spirit of live and let live I forgive she and accept she its go to be hard to watch she die kinda wish the euphoria was still here,negative,0
not sure to post this definetly not fun game and not sure where but it have make a huge impact on I maybe sometimes strong emotion are good to feel and this one will make you feel like cry its the facebook page of a little girl diagonse with leukemia at 7 and about a half a year later after chemo radiation a stem cell transplant die at 8 on christmas morning blog of before treatment begin until she die lot of picture of the beutiful little girl her favorite color is hot pink it will bring tear to your eye as her mother write she take her last breath at 3 this morning at home surround friend and family one of her last wish was to have christmas caroler outside her house it was a arranged and think a couple thousand people might come to carol for she but 10 000 come instead and thank she for her wish as it make everyone aware of christmas spirit in all on her bucket list was to babysit so some with a baby come over and lert her feed the baby the baby lok huge compare to her disease ravage frame I am not certain how long the family will keep the facebook page up but it will cause strong feeling of sadness and gratitude that she was in thisa world for the short time she was http teamlaney7 wix com teamlaney about_us csgz https www facebook com teamlaney7 photos_stream https www facebook com teamlaney7,positive,2
hello all it have been a while but julian continue to make stride post bmt he have his first bone marrow biopsy last friday result come back 100 donor cell one of the cord already win out he also show no evidence of disease great start for our little guy he have have low grade fever that have keep we in the hospital we are at day 28 today nothing have show up in culture he test positive for parvovirus which he have in july and test positive for even before his transplant he have also have a rash diarrhea and continue vomiting though not quite as bad as before a skin biopsy and intestinal biopsy have come back negative for gvhd so the doctor think he have a virus that they can not test for the rash is improve and he seem to finally be feel well so well take it we are look forward to get out of the hospital though have anyone else have a double cord transplant where one cord win out by the first bmb I was surprised that there was not more of a fight go on he do have engraftment syndrome so maybe they fight it out there I guess I do not care as long as there is no leukemia and none of his cell by the way we save baby joelle cord blood and she is a perfect match for he hope we never need it hope you are all do well jacki,positive,2

fda nih team ids murine leukemia virus gene in blood of chronic fatigue syndrome patient september 02 2010 by ben butkus a group lead by researcher from the us food and drug administration and national institutes of health have use nest pcr assay to detect gene sequence from a virus relate to murine leukemia virus in patient diagnose with chronic fatigue syndrome a disorder that have no know cause or cure accord to a recently publish paper the finding are in line with a previous study by different researcher that identify a similar virus call xenotropic mlv related virus or xmrv in a high percentage of cfs sufferer suggest a link between the virus and then disease but not causality however the most recent research also conflict with the result of several other research group that fail to detect gene sequence from either virus in cfs patient the usda and nih researcher have identify difference in sample collection processing method and pcr protocol and primer as potential reason for the discrepant result but also present strong evidence that their own pcr method were airtight and free of potential contamination nevertheless effort are underway to compare different testing method and develop standardized molecular testing for the virus in an effort to far unravel the mysterious connection between various mouse leukemia retrovirus and chronic fatigue syndrome the researcher say in the late study publish online last week in the proceeding of the national academy of science the fda and nih researcher examine 41 peripheral blood mononuclear cell derive dna sample from 37 patient meeting accept diagnostic criterion for cfs the researcher have originally obtain the serum and whole blood sample from cfs patient in the mid 1990 to investigate possible mycoplasma infection but save 37 of the sample in frozen storage twenty five of the patient were from an academic medical center and 12 were refer by community physician in addition the researcher obtain repeat blood sample some 15 year later from eight of the academic medical center patient the research group develop nest pcr assay target the mlv relate virus gag gene use both previously describe primer set and an in house design primer set with highly conserve sequence from different mlv like virus as well as xmrvs and test dna from the 37 blood sample for presence of the gag gene sequence in parallel the researcher test dna extract from frozen pbmc sample of 44 healthy volunteer blood donor their assay reveal mlv like virus gag gene sequence in 32 of 37 or 86 5 percent of sample compare with only three of 44 or 6 8 percent of sample from healthy volunteer blood donor in addition seven of the eight gag positive patient again test positive in a sample obtain 15 year later the researcher retrieve all pcr product and use sanger sequence to confirm that the sequence were in fact from mlv related virus gag gene the result of the study seem to jive with datum from a study conduct by researcher at the whittemore peterson institute and publish last year in science the author of that study find that a high percentage of patient diagnose with cfs were infect with xmrv a closely relate virus that was first identify in sample of human prostate cancer tissue about four year ago however two subsequent study fail to find an infectious mlv relate virus in prostate cancer patient from germany and four recent study conduct in europe and the us have fail when try to use pcr to detect xmrv or mlv relate viral gene sequence in the blood of cfs patient in a conference call discuss the result of the most recent pnas paper correspond author harvey alter chief of clinical study and associate director for research in the department of transfusion medicine at the nih clinical center note that his group find that mlv relate virus have a dramatic association with cfs but that is all it is an association we have to emphasize as we do in the paper that we have not identify causality for this agent and that there are many more piece we have to fulfill but we think basically it confirm the finding of the whittemore peterson group alter also note that other laboratory include at the us center for disease control and prevention have not been able to find the same association as with many thing in science it is controversial and not everybody find the same thing alter say very good laboratory have come up with disparate result and this is not totally explain we think there are reason for this and we think it is in the patient population rather than the laboratory testing but that have not completely been rule out so the dilemma at present is how to reconcile how some lab find this association and other do not alter add there are many possible explanation for that and probably the most common voice is that cfs is a symptom complex there is no specific tissue you can biopsy and no specific test to say this is a cfs patient it is probably a spectrum some of which may be associate with xmrv or mlv and other not at all in their paper seemingly anticipate question regard potential reason for the differ result the nih and fda researcher devote an entire section to debunk the idea that their pcr result could have been false positive due to viral gene specific primer nonspecifically amplify nucleic acid sequence that differ from the target or to potential contamination from mouse genetic material specifically the researcher note that they re test every one of their positive result for evidence of mouse dna contamination use a semi nest pcr assay exponentially more sensitive in detect mouse mitochondrial dna than mlv relate gag sequence and find no hit they also carefully review how the clinical sample were collect and the condition under which the pcr assay were perform and find no evidence for contamination lastly they note that they amplify at least six different mlv relate gag gene sequence from the cfs patient blood and that the observed sequence all have significant variation from previously report exogenous mlvs or viral vector in fact we have very good confidence that this can not be a laboratory artifact or a pcr contamination product because the sequence vary so much from one patient to another shyh che lo lead author on the paper and director of the tissue safety laboratory program at the fda say during the conference call normally if you have pcr contamination you would more or less anticipate that all the sequence would be the same the researcher also suggest in their paper that heterogeneity in gag gene sequence suggest that geographic difference in different mlv relate virus may be considerable and could affect both the sensitivity and specificity of molecular amplification use standard primer set thereby account for the differ result of other research group during the conference call lo also concede that the diversity of the gene sequence are actually a reason that it have been and will continue to be difficult to develop a standardized molecular test for presence of either xmrv or mlv related virus certainly the diversity of the sequence will make this test more difficult particularly if we want to develop a standard pcr test and try to cover a broad spectrum of different sequence lo say but in the present study the sequence s that we use are actually present for both the xmrv and the polytropic mlv we try to use the more conserve primer sequence lo also admit that this do not really explain the present difference because most of the laboratory are use similar primer or the primer actually cover both xmrv and mlv however even that different primer will have a different sensitivity or specificity than we are deal with in the clinical sample there is a much more complex human genome sequence there however ideally the researcher would like to be able to standardize the test so different laboratory can be do the same thing and see the same thing and have consistent finding lo add this is still in a very early stage but eventually I think a more standardized test will be develop in fact such a study is already underway at the nihs national heart lung and blood institute accord to steve monroe director of the division of high consequence pathogen and pathology at the cdc and a co author on one of the previous study that do not find a link between xmrv or mlv related virus and cfs this study he say during the conference call is look to address some of these question by collect sample from a small number of concerned case and have those process in different way and test by a number of different laboratory to compare different assay method in the end monroe note the result of the fda and nih study do raise as many question as they answer clearly the different finding from different lab that have been report suggest that there are a lot of thing about this virus that we do not know in particular there are a lot of thing about the biology of the virus and how it interact with human where it replicate in human what kind of disease it cause if any what are the good sample to use for diagnosis how those sample should be collect and process and what test should be use http www genomeweb

target the cd52 immune cell surface protein deplete certain class of cell and induce a long lasting reshuffle in the immune cell mix the clinically relevant result is a down regulation of inflammatory activity in miss the drug mechanism of action allow it to be give very infrequently in an initial 5 day course of infusion follow by a second 3 day course a year later key to the decision was genzyme two pivotal trial call care miss i and care miss ii the study pit the drug against beta interferon a standard drug for relapse remit miss the result generally show that alemtuzumab was superior to interferon in reduce relapse with some evidence as well that it reduce progression of disability progression was significantly slow in one of the trial but the effect fail to show statistical significance in the other in november an fda advisory committee determine that alemtuzumab was effective for reduce relapse and that its safety issue should not preclude approval but panel member also find that the drug effect against disability progression remain unproven fda staff member have tell the committee that they have strong reservation about the rigor of the clinical trial because genzyme want to use an active control that require frequent dose a double blind trial was not feasible instead both care miss study were conduct on an open label basis the drug safety was also a major concern the reviewer say neurologist contact by medpage today prior to the fdas announcement express hope that the agency would clear the drug for miss while there are very valid concern about the datum interpretation from the trial and safety profile of the drug there are reasonable level of efficacy datum to support its approval say benjamin greenberg md of the university of texas southwestern medical center in dallas in an email give its unique and profound mechanism of action this drug will have potential use for specific patient who have the high need for efficacious intervention neil lava md of emory university in atlanta agree most of the neurologist in the miss community want this medication to be approve it will be an excellent addition to our miss drug armamentarium he say both man say that the drug autoimmune side effect are a serious issue however require that patient in routine practice be monitor and that study evaluate the risk more carefully a very intense postmarkete surveillance program would be extremely useful for formulate long term assessment of this medication greenberg say robert bermel md of the cleveland clinic who helped lead the drug pivotal trial tell medpage today that he expect approval would come with a fairly detailed risk mitigation strategy that may require monitoring of blood and urine as frequently as once per month for up to 5 year the logistic of how neurologist will coordinate the necessary monitoring remain unknown he say one population for whom the drug could be well suited is patient with aggressive miss who are poor candidate for natalizumab tysabri because of latent jc virus infection a risk factor for life threaten progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy alemtuzumab have shape up to be the last really novel treatment for miss to come along for a while over the past decade treatment option for miss expand tremendously the first two specific miss treatment interferon beta avonex betaseron rebif and glatiramer acetate copaxone were approve in the 1990 then the range of option explode begin in 2004 with the approval of natalizumab follow by the oral drug fingolimod gilenya teriflunomide aubagio and most recently dimethyl fumarate tecfidera but no other with mechanism of action differ from these agent are expect to win approval any time soon the only such drug in the late stage pipeline laquinimod have been stall since 2011 when it fail to meet its primary endpoint in a phase iii trial the fda reportedly tell laquinimod developer to conduct another phase iii trial before it would consider approve the drug such a trial begin enrol patient in march of this year with disability progression as the primary outcome jeffrey cohen md also of the cleveland clinic tell medpage today in an email that the field is move in other direction now the next clinically relevant development are likely to be what I consider improvement of current therapy he write such as new interferon base drug with long half life in circulation and agent similar to fingolimod but with great target selectivity beyond anti inflammatory strategy I see increase emphasis on the development of neuroprotective and repair promote strategy which probably will be necessary to treat progressive disease in particular he add but cohen a principal investigator in the alemtuzumab trial also say that the anti inflammatory approach have not yet been exhaust he indicate that biologic agent target specific immune cell class the anti cd25 drug daclizumab zenepax and the b cell deplete agent ocrelizumab also were promise for miss alemtuzumab have previously been sell under the name campath as a treatment for b cell leukemia after gain right to the drug sanofi take it off the market for that purpose because the firm do not want it prescribe off label for miss the company is still provide it to leukemia patient who have start on it early and continue to do well,neutral,1

I see this on 60 minute cbs john kanzius hope he can add a few more year to the six he have already cheat death out of since he was diagnose with terminal leukemia he want to see the promising machine he invent that kill cancer cell go into clinical trial and maybe help other people beat a disease he probably will not kanzius tell his story to 60 minute correspondent lesley stahl this sunday april 13 at 7 after midday et point interest from cancer institution in his radio wave machine that have kill cancer cell in the tumor of rabbit and rat is pick up enough so to motivate kanzius to reconsider get more life extend but difficult treatment for his own cancer well I change my mind because I think with all the research that s go on with the institution that maybe I d like to be around for the first patient to get treat and just have a smile kanzius tell stahl it might mean undergo the arduous process of a bone marrow transplant yet another difficult treatment like the debilitate chemotherapy he have endure for six year it was the difficulty of the treatment not on he but on child that move kanzius to try to invent a cancer treatment without side effect like those of chemo and radiation therapy I see the smile of youth and see their spirit were break you could see that they were sort of ask why can not they do something for I recall kanzius of the child he encounter while in treatment so one night the retire radio technician and station owner have an idea to harness radio wave as he roll and toss in bed unable to sleep from chemotherapys side effect start look in the cupboard and I see pie pan and I say these are perfect I can modify these but build his first radio wave machine in his garage was just the beginning he would need to focus the machine wave on cancer in the human body and build a strong machine to use for the next step get the wave which do not harm human to destroy cancer cell he know strong radio wave heat metal would metal inject into a cancerous tumor heat up and then cook the cell to death when bombard with radio wave he go back to his own kitchen again for the next step take a hot dog and inject the top of it with copper sulfate a metal he put it in his machine and measure the temperature and when I see it start to go up I say eureka that is do it say kanzius but the whole idea was to heat up small area of the body and not harm surround tissue he have to measure the other end of the hotdog to make sure it was cold and the temperature drop back down and I say god maybe I get something here currently researcher are perfect the treatment with tiny metallic nanoparticle so small that thousand of they could fit inside a single cell the nanoparticle are also being alter so they migrate through the bloodstream to find and penetrate cancer cell that may be throughout the body and not just concentrate in local tumor the real litmus test of kanzius treatment that this will eventually cure cancer is still a big if as there have been many treatment that work on animal but fail on human patient still say liver cancer surgeon and researcher dr steven curley that is get to tell you in 20 year of research this is the most exciting thing that that is encounter it will be at least four year before any human clinical trial will begin for the treatment it will be even long if ever that leukemia like kanzius will be effectively treat with his machine but he is just wait for one patient suffering from any kind of cancer to be help and then I do not care anymore he tell stahl produce by tanya simon mmviii cbs interactive inc all right reserve,neutral,1

here a new article below about a meeting of the current major player in xmrv research which is to take place at the cleveland clinic on we d nov 11 this is the first meeting of the major player in the area of xmrv say john coffin of the department of microbiology at tufts university in boston I think there is go to be a lot of excitement and a lot of new information present there is also a quick npr piece on this tuesday checkup in search of a cause of chronic fatigue syndrome tuesday november 10 2009 topic health http www wcpn org wcpn news 28541 most people have probably never hear of the virus xmrv but it is been a hot topic in the healthcare community since last month that is when scientist at the cleveland clinic were among a group of researcher that discover a possible link between that virus at chronic fatigue syndrome dozen of the top scientist nationwide study xmrv are fly to cleveland for a meeting at the clinic wednesday for this week tuesday checkup ideastream eric wellman sit down with angela townsend who is cover this story for the plain dealer top scientist to meet at cleveland clinic on trail of xmrv a suspect in prostate cancer by angela townsend the plain dealer november 10 2009 6 00am http www cleveland com healthfit index ssf 2009 11 top_scientists_to_meet_at_clev html the virus xmrv have become a favorite topic in the scientific community three year after its initial discovery in prostate cancer tumor by researcher from the cleveland clinic and the university of california san francisco in october a team of researcher from the clinic the university of nevada at reno and the national cancer institute report find the virus in the majority of patient they study who have chronic fatigue syndrome cfs is a debilitate disorder mark by profound fatigue muscle pain impair memory and other symptom its cause are unknown that news come on the heel of another study publish in september that reveal the virus could be an important marker for aggressive prostate cancer tumor capitalize on the excitement and heightened spirit of collaboration 75 of the top scientist nationwide study xmrv are fly in to convene wednesday at the clinic this is the first meeting of the major player in the area of xmrv say john coffin of the department of microbiology at tufts university in boston I think there is go to be a lot of excitement and a lot of new information present xmrv is one of three know human retrovirus the other two are hiv and htlv a type of virus that infect white blood cell and can cause leukemia and lymphoma all three are transmit through bodily fluid one of the most striking thing about xmrv is that there are indication that up to 4 percent of people in the united states carry the virus say coffin who write an editorial accompany a journal article on the link to chronic fatigue syndrome there might be other consequence of this infection he say the invitation only gathering will be the first large meeting of scientist on xmrv since the national institutes of health close door session last summer on the topic the national cancer institute help pull together key people involve in various research project say robert silverman a cancer biologist at the clinic lerner research institute it is been about two month in the making it will be a chance for researcher not only to swap information but to form new collaboration were learn thing at such a rapid pace that we need a venue to exchange idea and information say dr ila singh a professor in the university of utahs department of pathology and senior author of the research involve prostate cancer patient I am hope for a deep understanding we know so little at the moment I am hope to learn more about the virus she say that is what s sorely lack there is a lot of speculative information I want to know what s real in advance of wednesday meeting silverman one of the researcher credit with the initial discovery of xmrv speak with the plain dealer how do xmrv get its name it is a descriptive name xenotropic which mean the virus come from mouse but mouse are immune to its effect it do affect other animal murine leukemia which is the parent virus relate virus how do xmrv affect animal xmrv is closely relate to a virus that cause leukemia lymphoma and neurological disease in animal research suggest that the human version could cause similar disease how do human acquire xmrv we probably acquire it from mouse because that is where the prototype exist at what point it cross over to human we do not know it is probably something that is been out there for a long time maybe many year how is xmrv spread that research is in the planning stage what were do is try to develop diagnostic assay to assess who have it and who do not were try to determine how the virus is transmit with the new possible link to chronic fatigue syndrome do this make get funding for xmrv research easy the funding part remain to be see there is been a tremendous interest in chronic fatigue syndrome I have been get almost nonstop call from doctor and patient they are obviously look for hope in this study although the virus is not prove to cause cfs that is still unknown but until it is rule out it is go to obviously be a subject of great interest have the research gain since your finding three year ago been significant enough that investigator are hopeful about what may be around the corner it was kind of a sleeper we publish in 2006 there were really only a handful of paper publish in the first couple year it take time for scientist to mobilize and perform research now there is a flurry of publication work on it the field is explode it depend on whether we can nail down if this is a disease cause virus the potential of this is enormous if it is prove to cause prostate cancer or chronic fatigue syndrome then there would be the potential for new method of diagnosis new method of treatment antiviral even for prevention that is why were so excited about the prospect what about the recent study by german researcher in the journal retrovirology that find no link between xmrv and prostate cancer it is not atypical of science for different group to get different result there could be methodological difference I believe our method were more sensitive they may have miss it or it could be a different strain another interpretation is that the virus is more prevalent in the united states than in germany why should the average person care about xmrv we do not know at this point if the virus cause either prostate cancer or chronic fatigue syndrome our result suggest that xmrv is a candidate for cause human disease however it is still in a relatively early stage of the research there are potentially major public health implication of this virus so there is an urgency to figure it out and move forward what is the clinic work on now in relation to xmrv were work to help develop a diagnostic test that could be apply to a large number of people it could be develop pretty quickly maybe in a year or two were really study how the virus could cause disease at a very fundamental level but a vaccine could be 10 year away or maybe long this is exciting research were work as hard as we can to help benefit patient contact angela townsend atownsen plaind com or 216 999 3894,neutral,1

my family have a culture of not discuss medical issue illness can be a scary concept for some people my mom was recently diagnose with a rare form of leukemia which I am guess is cml she is start chemotherapy next week she have been in pain for a long time now I have been constantly emotionally upset a few week ago I was worried about what she have and now I know I am a college student try to become a doctor one day the reason for which I want to be a doctor is to help patient like my mom who are afraid of talk about their body I do not know what to do anymore obviously I can not do anything in this situation my dad do not want to talk too much to I about this subject so I really have no support because I am a premedical student it can be hard to find someone sensitive and care as many of my friend stress out about academic more than anything else in world as you can probably see I have been feel extremely frustrated and angry too at people I wish I can talk to my dad he is stay at home to take care of my mom instead of go to work I think I hear he about to break down sometimes on the phone I wonder who I can talk to do you guy think I can email the doctor who is treat my mother to get a well idea of what is go on in her illness,negative,0
I suppose we all go through this at some point right tell I I am not out of line to be so scared all the hazard warning about leukemia infection tuberculosis sigh I guess I am not as scared of an actual injection as oppose to what this may do to my body I think the company put the bad case scenerio out there and yet all I can think is that I will be the bad case I am obviously a half empty type person laugh out loud it suggest to call your doctor as soon as possible if you get a cold or a cut is this really how it go do I need to be that persistant I just do not know what can be overlook a little and what warrant attention I tend to feel sick off and on for various reason anyway I do not understand what is sick sick and then financially without insurance can I afford to make sure I am healthy and pay to see the doctor everytime I have a cold it seem like one of the maintenance point with enbrel or am I over think this one more question not sure if anyone will know I see that a tb test is usually administer I was a health care worker many year ago and always test false positive at tb testing time I always have the x ray to show I do not have tb so how do this work do the false positive test have any influence over weather I should take this or not or if I could get tb I am suppose to go in tomarrow for my first dose and to see how to administer it I am quickly rethink this I wish I were braver and do not have this nagging doubt I am sure many of you can empathize how do you get over the fear,negative,0

tfd on another thread write I have read it take about 7 year after radiation exposer for leukemia to show up this was something I have not hear and it get I to think that we might want to put our head together and see what we might all have in common that might cause aml the only thing I keep hear is that benzene exposure might do it I would guess the first thing we need to do is to start a list of all possible cause there must be some scientific basis for the benzene thing since it is state in so many place as an establish fact tfd add the radiation possibility which is in my mind a completely different animal I have also hear that aml can be a side effect of chemo if benzene is a major cause then how long do one need to be expose to it in what way and how long after this exposure would it show up one thing that seem to be a complicate factor is the average age of aml victim seem to be somewhere around 70 so it would seem to I that it would be a very thin chance that all of these oldster I am 69 would have been expose to it recently it would seem like their system just can not handle it once they get to an old age could it be an accumluated thing over a lifetime or perhaps something that we have been expose to on a regular basis but now that we are hit the old ager we just can not handle it anyway if you are interested in this and know anything about it or just have a hunch and want to jump in here is a forum for it thank in advance dave,neutral,1

good morning all you all have been so supportive and kind in share your experience of aml I think I would give an update as to where thing stand today first after much angst dad have make peace it seem with the idea of the transplant in the end it come down to the pretty simple realization that for he chemo alone would almost certainly bring relapse and that sct offer his good hope of long term survival the team at dana farber say that we do have a donor a 21 year old male and that the plan is to complete the sct in the next 3 4 week it is not clear whether another consolidation treatment will be necessary before then dad is in remission now a bmb was do on friday of last week hope for at least preliminary result today or tomorrow he is at brigham women today for a kidney biopsy an mri some week back do show a spot that angiomyolipoma is think to be a benign tumor there obviously that need to be confirm before he proceed far we also do lot of reading and find the article below to be particularly relevant for our situation to transplant or not to transplant for adult acute myeloid leukemia an ever evolve decision aaron t gerd md miss and frederick r appelbaum md from the journal clinical advance in hematology oncology volume 10 issue 10 october 2012 for now he is feel pretty well we were able to spend easter together as a family which was just wonderful of course he tire pretty easily and every so often feel cancer y but for the most part is do well he have not have to have a transfusion in 3 week I think anyway worried though we are about what might be the complication associate with the sct we are hopeful that because a few key thing have go well thus far tolerate chemo achieve remission find a donor and so on that he we can weather what s ahead too all the good robin,neutral,1

hello everyone julian is still recover from his induction round of chemo we are very hopeful that he will be in remission so that we can move straight to transplant after his count are up I am wonder whether any of you have have the problem of unsolicited advice from people who are concerned about whether your doctor are do the right thing I have a facebook page for julian for friend and family to follow yesterday I get a message from a parent of another child with leukemia I believe this child actually have all but that is not really the point this parent was try to convince I that I should be push julians medical team to reconsider the use of my babys cord blood even though that could result in a delay of several week and we do not know that this baby will be a match he claim that he have do research for his own son whom he feel do not have a suitable donor at all and that sible cord blood is far superior to unrelated cord blood he have opt not to do a transplant at all for his own son that is not even an option in julians case if chemo only do not work before I am certain that it is not the answer now either I am concern however about his claim about cord blood I do not want to do a internet search on my own because I already know the anxiety it create I do e mail julian transplant doctor to ask about his claim he also think I should get second third fourth fifth opinion but with julian neutropenic and in the hospital that is very difficult to do not only that but I really do believe that university of minnesota is the place to be for pediatric transplant anybody else been through this or have any advice invite in this case of course thank you jacki,negative,0

my dear friend I want to start my post off with the emphasis that each person fight this heinous disease is completely different jay story is not the same as anyone else story his battle will not be the same as everyone else his and alexs decision will not be exactly the same as anyone else although treatment may be somewhat similar in many case the outcome will not always be the same obviously you all know this without my say it but there are so many on this site that have only just begin their journey and I want you all to stay encouraged positive and hopeful despite what may or may not be go on with jay yesterday we see his primary oncologist I have tell you all before that we have the great confidence in she and believe that she will uncover any and all reasonable attempt to save his life as you know he have relapse since his second bmt both relapse have occur extremely quickly after transplant although the sorafenib have originally seem to be work his leukemia find a way to work around it and begin generate blast none of jay doctor have ever send a patient for a third bmt but in any event it would do no good until his marrow is clean out again if that is even possible I can tell you that 2 bmt so close together have take a toll on his body and a third one this close would not even be a consideration so what to do now today his doctor is work on get approval to use a drug call ponatinib another type of inhibitor which if she can get it she would give along with chemo to clean some of the leukemia out of his system if that were to be successful he would then receive a dli donor lymphocyte infusion a type of mini transplant as I understand it this would simply boost his bone marrow and buy he time time unknown he would be able to do all of this at duke and time in the hospital would be around 6 week or so total assuming all go well the ponatinib is fda approve for cml but not aml this is the big factor right now as to whether we can get the drug we also talk about clinical trial and in particular the many trial around for plexxikon its a consideration but frankly jay and alex are not ready for that commitment today even if he were find to be eligible which is being look into the chance of success are being weigh heavily against the fact that they would have to commit to a different city for an unknown period of time alone and away from the support of family and friend its a question of quality of life leave verses chance of survival it is a heavy decision but I understand it and I understand they jay have spend more than half of the last year and a half in the hospital and he want his life back with more control and on his term I get it and I can accept it these two wonderful young people are a christ center couple their faith family and friend are what are dear to they although they have not decide anything for sure they are carefully consider all I hope you all can see that as I have been learn to let go and try to understand that the decision are theirs to make as a parent this is my most difficult challenge ever I feel that you all might be wait to hear from I so I am update you all with as much as I know today I will let you know as I learn more it may be a couple of more week before we have a solid plan the doctor say that it would not affect thing adversely at this point thank you all for your continue love and support I spend time in prayer each and every day thank god for all of you and the blessing you have been to I I pray for peace and healing for each of you love tina,positive,2

first of all the title of my discussion is mislead I am not new to hs per say I am just new to know what the heck it is that I am suffer from I have experience flare up in my armpit and around my breast for year the main problem area however is my underarm area I am currently sit here with a warm washcloth under my before midday my question is do hs always seem to get bad over time mean I have read about the stage of hs but do everyone that we know of understand that this is a fairly unresearched illness progress to stage 3 I guess I would put myself at stage 1 because the boil are primarily only under my arm and while incredibly painful when they flare up they are not beyond manage and I live a mostly normal life while not in flare up mode but after read all of this stuff I am now terrified that it is eventually go to become something that spread all over my body the current flare up that I am experience have make it difficult to sleep in a comfortable position or to raise and low my before midday in my experience I will probably be like this for a day or so long and then it will drain or subside then I can reasonably expect to be free for a few month or at least a month I suppose I was about 18 when I first notice small pimple in my armpit and I am now 33 they are no long pimple of course they are full on rage nightmare boil I do have scar and discoloration under my arm and I have a few mark on my breast I have get the odd boil in my crotch area but they tend to be very few and far between and are not nearly as wild as the underarm situation anyway as one who also suffer from health anxiety I am on medication for my generalized anxiety disorder I was always so worried that these nasty nastie were the result of lymphoma or leukemia or something along those line know that there is another explanation have somewhat ease my mind but have open up a world of new question for I I am glad to see that I am not alone but I wish we were all free from this yuckiness blessing,negative,0

hi I am see saw again just reminder have papillary carcinoma multifocal 2 node and microcarcinoma in adjoining lymphnode have my 2nd lobectomy a week ago which come back clear surround lymph as well so hav been build up to hypothyroid for rai ablation in about 2 week I have been read all the support site to see what to expect and suddenly realise it is not as easy as 123 do as the doctor present it it seem there are a lot of side effect and I have read frightening long term risk my main worry was that in spite of do all the recommend procedure rai more than once in many case many of the people in the support group still struggle with the same question thyroglobulin reading are not conclusive radio iodine scanning is often inconclusive there are many recurrence and scare even with do the recommend process tt rai and so on and huge quality of life issue as a result of the rai and so on and so on then I read a paper which state the obvious ablation is to kill thyroid tissue so thyroglobulin bloodtest can show if there is an increase in thyroid cell growth but even with ablation thyroglobulin reading are never zero so a base point is find at the beginning and if it rise from this you have your alert so the base can be low after abaltion or just low without ablation the alert would still be an increase so why ablate the second point for future rai scan you can not have thyroid tissue as the remain tissue will absorb the iodine yet consistently the info I find show that the rai scanning very seldom give useful feedback confusing and inconclusive with false hot spot and thyca cell that do not absorb the iodine also other imaging can pick up the cancer the point is more and more there is evidence that rai especially repeat can increase risk of secondary cancer leukemia stomach bladder and so on I would rather have the slow grow relatively non aggressive thyca recur than significantly increase my risk one of those look like the odd are similar odd are recur thyca will eventually be see on a scan and I can then do the necessary so I am go to tell my docter I am proceed with no rai ablation tsh suppression to slow growth even more even if it recur regular thyroglobulin test off the current baseline and a scan once a year maybe a risk but in my opinion a calculate risk anyway this is get too long but look at this article if you are also question thing http jnm snmjournal org cgi content full 49 8 1395,neutral,1

I have ib for several year which was not really an issue symptom were getting mildly constipate 1 or 2 day before my period and occasional attack of diarrhea especially after eat onion or garlic then in november 2007 I suddenly become incredibly constipate I have start take metamucil 6 month before which have seem to help level out the ibs my gp send I to the doctor regard as the lead researcher in my city for a colonoscopy this gastro dr tell I I have overgrowth of bacteria in my intestine aka a flora drive motility disorder without test my stool and prescribe colchisine gout medication so I would get its side effect of diarrhea twice a day the pharmacist warn I about the toxicity of colchisine I google it and was horrify as some research link long term use to leukemia I do not take the colchisine but my constipation get bad and bad I was almost suicidal I lose a lot of weight as I was afraid to eat anything as it seem like everything got stick inside I my gp have no other advice apart from double the metamucil which make thing far worse despite my drinking 2 litre of water a day and eat only fruit and veg eventually I start take ibs probiotic stop the metamucil take a tablespoon of coconut oil morning and night drink 50 ml of aloe vera juice I have stop eat pasta rarely eat bread just mainly eat cook and raw veg and fruit I am in a hold pattern but it is a daily struggle to feel normal for a few hour I always feel like I need to pass a stool even if there is nothing inside I I now have chronic pain in my tailbone from strain and am on the way to a prolapse rectum I can not face much more of this I have not been to a naturopath because in my experience they ascribe everything to gluten or dairy which to I do not explain why this suddenly happen to I after have eater gluten dairy for 40 year with no ill effect by the way about 6 month ago I do the breath test for h pylori was positive then take the antibiotic have another test which was negative make no difference to the constipation unfortunately I do not want to take laxative as I know that will only cause more long term problem anyone have a similar experience and any successful treatment,negative,0

hey lady sorry for take up all the good board space this week but I have one more thing that I could not journal about my journal is link to my facebook account and I can not figure out how to unlink it I do not want my family see this so that is why it is here and not in my journal anyhoo a month or so back I go to the doctor with a whole host of symptom I was deal with since my son was about 3 week old thing like joint pain muscle weakness and more lot more since then I have add easy bruise overly dry chap skin similar to dehydration and more despite my taking vitamin drink water and eat healthy like the other doc say nothing get well so I decide no more I go to my general practitioner today and she agree that when I list all my symptom and show she my bruise that something was definitely up she was able to easily diagnose my shoulder weakness pain as a tear rotator cuff ligament that just need some physical therapy so that was good but the rest of my body is still a mess and she is test I for a whole host of thing and some are quite scary anemia b12 and folic acid deficiency thyroid rheumatoid arthritis regular arthritis kidney and liver failure leukemia and cancer myasthenia gravis neuromuscular disorder and more much more she is kinda run the gamet of blood panel on I to try and weed out the big stuff and narrow down what could be the culprit of all my issue she do not see any major tactile trigger for arthritis or fybromyalgia but do not rule they out yet either I am oddly not freak out over this but I am not stupid either and know that I could use a bit of prayer so I am reach out to my ds sister for a little prayer and good vibe right now all the test will take about 10 day or so to get in so I would not have answer until then she scribe I some anti inflammatorie and pain killer for the interim but I am not too keen on just throw drug at the problem just yet so I am hope to wait on fill those she say that any and all of these could be trigger and or compound by my pregnancy and birth hence I do not notice anything until about 3 week after my son was bear I have a family history of thyroid arthritis and myastenia so it could be any of those but personally I am lean towards a severe anemia or vitamin deficiency of some sort I dunno I am ramble sorry any and all prayer is appreciate,negative,0

tissue in a study publish in october 2009 scientist report a potential association of xmrv with chronic fatigue syndrome cfs in this study xmrv was detect in approximately two third of patient diagnose with cfs and 3 7 percent of control the frequency of xmrv infection in healthy person and the potential role of this virus in cause disease such as prostate cancer and cfs are unknown at this time if it is determined that xmrv may have a role in cause disease and illness prevention recommendation can be make the report of the october 2009 publish study also identify dna of xmrv in the blood cell of some healthy person and suggest a potential for xmrv transmission by transfusion or transplantation at present although it is theoretically plausible that xmrv can be transmit through blood transfusion no such transmission event have been identify and there is no known evidence of xmrv infection or xmrv relate illness in transfusion recipient these recent finding and a potential link with prostate cancer and cfs must be scientifically and independently evaluate several study are underway to evaluate the risk of xmrv transmission through blood transfusion agency within the department of health and human service hhs are conduct study to determine the prevalence of xmrv in the blood donor population hhs scientist are also work with scientist in industry and academia to determine if xmrv can be transmit by blood transfusion if a link between xmrv and transfusion is establish action will be take to reduce the risk additionally a public health service ph work group plan to coordinate testing of specimen to assess transfusion transmissibility of xmrv if an agent is find to be transmissible by blood study must begin quickly to evaluate if the agent cause disease

leukemia virus relate virus it was first identify in sample of human prostate cancer tissue some additional study have suggest that a high percentage of person with chronic fatigue syndrome cfs may be infect with xmrv but this result need to be confirm by other group of scientist the frequency of xmrv infection in healthy person and the potential role of this virus in cause disease such as prostate cancer and cfs are unknown at this time if it is determined that xmrv may have a role in cause disease and illness prevention recommendation can be make how is xmrv transmit are certain individual more likely to be infect with the xmrv virus the manner in which xmrv is transmit is unknown it is unclear whether certain individual are more likely to be infect with xmrv study of xmrv have been under way for only a short time and therefore these and similar question have not been answer if researcher find that xmrv is find in a majority of patient who have chronic fatigue syndrome do this mean that cfs may be contagious one study that have been conduct on cfs and close contact suggest that there is no evidence that cfs is contagious or spread person to person occurrence of cfs is not more common in family member of patient with cfs and none of the feature typical of contagious disease have been associate with cfs these feature include seasonal or regional occurrence travel history occupation exposure to animal injection drug use and sexual behavior since the recent study report find xmrv in healthy person can xmrv be transmit through blood transfusion or organ tissue transplantation this possibility will be study carefully at present we do not know whether xmrv can be transmit through blood transfusion since xmrv is think to infect many type of human cell include some blood cell type the safety of blood could be a concern if xmrv infection is confirm to cause human disease what is being do to evaluate the risk of transmission of xmrv through blood transfusion or organ transplantation several study are under way to evaluate the risk of xmrv transmission through blood transfusion the department of health and human service hhs is conduct study to determine the prevalence of xmrv in the blood donor population in addition hhs scientist are work with scientist in industry and academia to determine if xmrv can be transmit by blood transfusion if a link between xmrv and transfusion is establish action will be take to reduce the risk additionally a public health service ph work group plan to coordinate testing of specimen to assess transfusion transmissibility of xmrv if an agent is find to be transmissible by blood study must begin quickly to evaluate if the agent cause disease in transfusion recipient who have collection of blood sample for this research the national institutes of health nih currently fund the retrovirus epidemiology donor study ii red ii which focus on address critical question in blood safety the reds ii laboratory sample collection call radar have specimen from blood donor and match recipient from various region of the country these match specimen can be useful in test for the transmissibility of new or emerge infectious agent such as xmrv if researcher have a test for xmrv why can not it be use for diagnosis and screening of blood donor at present although it is theoretically plausible that xmrv can be transmit through blood transfusion no such transmission have been identify and there is no known evidence of xmrv infection or xmrv relate illness in transfusion recipient therefore there is currently no requirement for testing of the blood supply for the presence of xmrv hhs scientist are work with scientist in industry and academia to determine if xmrv can be transmit by blood transfusion if a link between xmrv and transfusion is establish action will be take to reduce the risk such a risk if it exist could be decrease by develop and use blood donor screening assay or other measure the use of a donor screening assay by blood establishment would require you s food and drug administration fda approval of the test there are many step between what is currently know about xmrv and the release of an fda approve test if such a test were warrant the test component and procedure must be standardize and the test performance assess in research study before licensure approval by the fda however if the risk is demonstrate these step could be take more quickly as occur for screen approval of west nile virus is it possible to determine whether xmrv can be transmit via blood transfusion without wait for it to occur in a patient yes there are several step necessary to evaluate if a new infectious agent present a threat to transfusion recipient hhs scientist are take these step by work with scientist in industry and academia to determine if xmrv can be transmit by blood transfusion the first step is to determine whether the agent is present in the blood supply by look at the fraction of blood donor who have the infectious agent in their blood next it is also important to determine the risk of the blood component themselves to spread infection since preparation and storage may impact these risk e g filter out white blood cell or refrigerate a blood unit may decrease the risk of an infectious agent if the agent is find to be in the blood supply the second step is to evaluate whether it is transmit by transfusion to do this investigator can use animal study case report investigation and the evaluation of biological specimen that have been collect and store in repository for this purpose should an individual with diagnose chronic fatigue syndrome donate blood at the present time there are no specific recommendation to defer donor who have chronic fatigue syndrome however fda regulation require that a donor should be in good health medical director at blood collection center should exercise judgment in determine whether individual with a history of cfs are in good health at the time of donation should an individual who have been diagnose treat and currently in remission from prostate cancer donate blood there is no known association of prostate cancer with history of transfusion in general fda have not recommend deferral of donor who have a history of cancer due to lack of such as association should an individual with diagnose chronic fatigue syndrome or in remission from prostate cancer be an organ or tissue donor at the present time there are no recommendation to defer organ and tissue donation from individual diagnose with

in an about face the government have disavow a 12 year old federal report that find little or no cancer risk for adult who live at camp lejeune and c where drinking water was contaminate for three decade up to a million people could have been expose to toxin that seep from a neighboring dry clean and industrial activity at lejeune federal official say now a report that minimize the cancer threat for adult have been discredit we can no long stand behind the accuracy of the information in that document william cibulas director of health assessment for the agency for toxic substance and disease registry say at a meeting in atlanta we know too much now sick veteran who became know as poison patriot and their advocate never believe the report conclusion their family have file claim for 33 8 billion in damage a study continue on whether fetus might have been harm the agency charge with protect public health around toxic site say it was rescind the 1997 assessment on health effect of water that resident of the base drank and bathe in because of omission and scientific inaccuracy that study find the water contamination begin in the 1950 and continue until well were shut down in 1987 the agency offer no new health conclusion but will pull the flawed document from the internet while incorporate new science to rewrite what cibula call troublesome section jerry ensminger a retire marine who have spend year dig through military and health document at camp lejeune and believe his daughter janey leukemia death at age 9 was due to the water welcome the government reversal on the report we are in day 99 of change and by god were start to see it he say mean the change promise by president barack obama the report in question date to bill clintons administration official say that some section of the document were still valid include those deal with past concern about lead in water and contamination of fish and analysis of pesticide hazard in soil people now will have to contact the health agency in atlanta via e mail or phone to obtain that information now remove from the web site a spokeswoman say among its problem the document omit mention of the cancer cause chemical benzene which military sampling find in a base well in 1984 researcher should have mention its high level and try to verify whether it reach the drinking water say cibula he say ensminger recently bring the omission of benzene to his attention additionally the contaminate solvent that official focus on have been characterize by new science as even more likely to cause cancer he note cibula also cite finding report in a 2007 associated press investigation of the water contamination that the study underestimate the extent of the contamination on the base due to inadequate information from the marine his unusual announcement come at a meeting of the health agency part of the health and human service department and its community advisory panel that work on follow up to camp lejeune past water problem member of the panel have long criticize the health document failing lawmaker who hear the marine story last year dub they poison patriot a table in the document state unequivocally that adult face no increase cancer risk from the water elsewhere the report say cancer was not likely but more study was need cibula voice concern that the report was misinterpret by

php xmrv test xmrv information disclaimer xmrv and disease xmrv xenotropic murine leukemia virus relate virus was first isolate in prostate cancer tissue of man with a specific defect of the anti viral gene rnase l in 2009 a science paper from lombardi et al report detection of xmrv in 67 of patient with chronic fatigue syndrome recently another study by lo et al publish in the pna report that 86 5 of cfs patient 32 of 37 sample test present murine leukemia virus mlv relate sequence in their pbmc dna however more research is need to confirm the implication and exact role of xmrv and or mlvs in cfs and other disease a number of study have fail to detect xmrv in sample from cfs patient it is not clear whether this is due to technical issue or to regional variation in virus prevalence also association do not mean causality reactivation of xmrv mlv may be the result of pre exist immune dysfunction in cfs patient rather than a real cause for the disease some study suggest that the virus could be present in 4 to 14 of the general population it appear that several variant of these virus can be detect in test subject so far little is know regard the geographical distribution of these variant and their exact role in the pathogenesis of cfs they may not all have the same capacity to trigger the disease or contribute to its symptom red laboratory is currently conduct a number of research study on xmrv mlv but we have not yet accumulate enough datum to support any claim regard xmrv prevalence and association with disease test currently offer at red laboratory co culture red laboratory have license the proprietary xmrv test from wp biotechnologie a wholly own subsidiary of the whittemore peterson institute we use the co culture procedure where the sample to be test is put in contact with an infection sensitive cell line xmrv is allow to replicate in the cell for several day result in significant amplification of viral titer the amplified virus can then more easily be detect by pcr or western blot to perform this test we ask 3x 8 ml whole blood in na heparin tube 1x 2ml yellow cap tube and 2x 2ml whole blood in edta tube specimen must be receive within 48 hour at room temperature cost of this test is 340 this price include the co culture and a screen for other mlv relate virus by direct pcr on whole blood serology red laboratory have make an agreement with vipdx reno nevada to offer serology testing sample will be collect in our laboratory and send to vipdx for analysis to perform this test we ask 1x serum separator tube yellow cap cost of this test is 219 this price include first processing of sample serum separation store shipping to the usa and reporting of result detection of mlv related virus by pcr and sequence this test is base on the publication by lo et al who report the detection of mlv relate sequence in the blood of cfs patient to perform this test we ask 1x 2ml whole blood in edta tube purple cap cost of this test is 108 note that it is include in the co culture test so you do not have to order mlv screen if you already request co culture we have the capacity to sequence the pcr product however this is currently perform only for internal use quality control research project we may start routine sequence in the future if it appear that distinguish the different virus variant is clinically important interpretation of result advantage and limitation of each of these test must be fully understand before draw any conclusion in any case interpretation must be do by a physician co culture is very sensitive and most importantly is the only test that can distinguish active infection from latent one one limitation is the fact that it is perform from blood cell it may therefore not be able to detect a virus which is present in another part of the body gut spleen also the co culture procedure have been develop and validate for xmrv it use a specific target cell sensitive to xmrv infection although it is likely that most virus variant are able to infect this target cell line this have not yet been demonstrate therefore there is a possibility that certain virus like mlvs can not be detect by this technique serology will be able to detect antibody even when the virus is localize in another tissue than blood it is probably able to detect most variant of xmrv and mlv related virus a major limitation of serology however is that it do not give any indication regard the stage of infection it may also give false negative result in the case of patient with a deficient immune system which are unable to make adequate antibody in the future the lack of specificity may also be an issue if it turn out that variant identification is important for clinical evaluation mlv pcr on whole blood can give very precious information when follow by sequence since it allow very precise variant identification a quantitative pcr test is in development in order to measure viral titer and not only presence of the virus pcr can be perform on any type of tissue include biopsy saliva csf a combination of different approach is probably the good way to test for xmrv and or mlv relate virus a well understanding of xmrv mlv biology is necessary before we can evaluate with certainty the sensitivity specificity and clinical relevance of the different approach use to detect these virus get a negative result do not definitely mean that you are not infect you may be infect with a specific variant not detect by any of these approach or the viral titer may be too low at the time of testing red laboratory do not make any claim regard the biological significance and medical implication of a positive result only physician can do test interpretation define treatment option and answer question regard transmissibility and health implication cheer al,neutral,1
I would like to share my experience of battle with mds my father have have anaemia symptom for a couple year and have been see hematologist he was suspect to have mds but no action was take because he was in stable condition until august 2009 his condition get bad the hemoglobin read drop to 70 g 125 g 170 g as normal range which was under the 80 g threshold and he have to do his first transfusion dec 2009 his hemoglobin read drop to 59 g and he was admit to hospital for an urgent transfusion after the treatment his hemoglobin read back to 90 g then he have a bone marrow test and confirm he have get mds raeb 2 which is quite a serious type that could potentially be transform into leukemia feb 2010 his hemoglobin read drop to 82 g and he have his third transfusion his hematologist then suggest from now on he need transfusion every 7 week march 2010 which is 7 week later he have a blood test for the scheduled transfusion surprisingly his reading was 98 g which is nowhere near the threshold level 7 week later in may 2010 his hemoglobin read was actual 108 g in 3 month time he have no transfusion and end up with high blood level this mean he can generate blood himself now what happen our hematologist could not explain but to say it could be a just a short term fluctuation of the reading but he deny there is a possibility he might go back to the normal blood level as it is know that there is basically no cure for mds in fact apart from the normal transfusion treatment the only treatment our do it yourself one anyway is that he have been take a supplementary medicine call ip6 to make the story short ip6 was bring to my attention as an effective iron chelator as blood test show my father have very high iron reading in his blood he have the high reading even before the first blood transfusion so it was not cause by transfusion later on I also realise that ip6 is a good material to control cancer include leukemia which the mds have potential to develop into he start to take the medicine from oct 2010 the reason why I am convinced it was ip6s credit to his improvement is that coincide with his well hemoglobin read his iron level was reduce significant one counter is even in the normal range and come on what else you think might be exclude the ip6 what are the chance of get improvement with mds with only the transfusion treatment I am sure you can tell that I am over the moon by now just imagine how many expensive new drug there in the market that can only reduce the frequency of transfusion let alone actually increase the blood level or potentially cure the disease so far what I spend on his 6 month dose of ip6 is less than 100 ip6 have been around year and it is not something we discover overnight I am sure if you spend some hour do research you will similar information that I get but would they actually work as what I suspect before the most important message here is we have a successful case that the ip6 can actually help battle with mds and even cancer too of course I can not claim victory for now and I am look forward to the next specialist visit in 3 month time when there will be another blood test to see if my father blood level can eventually go back to normal level even if it is not as long as it is maintain in current level without transfusion it is still a perfect result the hematologist still expect he will get bad over time and eventually get to a stage that he need a transfusion every 1 2 day so dear friend I sincerely hope this is an inspiration for those still battle with mds either yourself family or friend seriously look at ip6 as one of your alternative supplementary treatment especially the patient have similar symptom of high iron reading I now even recommend the medicine it is not really a medicine it is a bran extract to I anyway to some friend who have cancer to try it out it is so inexpensive that you have nothing to lose anyway I am sorry I am not able to provide great detail in this posting as you can tell the posting is already too long anyway but I hope this is already enough to give you a good head up on what ip6 can potentially do to mds I am think set up a free listing to share the information on e bay so as to help more mds patient I am think of include follow item as part of the information share my research material for mds extract from internet an article about mds and its treatment an article about ip6 and cancel treatment an article about ip6 and iron overload information about our journey fight with mds in great detail include key date symptom detail of blood test blood iron level reading over time how ip6 was use exact brand type of ip6 we use frequency time to take dose at different stage and so on my reasoning why ip6 might help potentially on go update of development and so on I sincerely hope this case can also help with medical research on mds too I was annoyed that even though we tell the hematologist the possible positive effect of ip6 he show no interest whatsoever on the medicine so you would like to know more about the case stay tune with my free e bay list postage handle fee apply http shop ebay com au walker128 m html _ nkw _ armrs 1 _

greeting and blessing to all today I celebrate my 5 year since diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia who celebrate being diagnose with aml or any cancer for that matter but leta s be honest in the cancer lottery aml is not one of the preferred at least if you cling to cancer stat which is something I highly discourage first problem with aml stat specifically the mean dx age of 68ish I have spend substantial time around several aml support group and I routinely meet people in their 50 40 30 and 20 stricken with this demon an amazing christian brother of mine who also is a physician recommend I read an article on cancer stat that I re read often the median is not the messagea I highly recommend it http www cancerguide org median_not_msg html so back to my celebration first thing you must know about I I am an on fire bible believing sell out save by grace forgive sinner second I absolutely do not believe god give I cancer because nothing bad and I believe all of we know cancer to be very very bad come from a love gracious merciful god such as ours nor is cancer some sort of evil test where god is test I or try to prove my strength for I firmly believe 2 corinthian 12 9 my grace is all you need my power work well in weakness so now I am glad to boast about my weakness so that the power of christ can work through I fight cancer certainly do not show I how strong I am was the opposite occur for the first time in my adult life I was completely out of control helpless feckless as powerless as a new bear babe and in that lay bare state for the first time in my life I completely surrender my life my will my future my child over to almighty god and he was and is faithful I truly leave the peace that pass all understanding like a blanket of comfort on my darkest day that act of surrender and blind faith change my relationship with my lord and savior forever and I will never be the same that is what I celebrate five year ago I was an otherwise healthy 48 year old mother of three amazing daughter 8 10 and 12 married to the love of my life I work full time for the us air force as a civilian manager and teach mastera s level graduate course part time primarily online I have absolutely no symptom at dx other than a few bruise very typical for I and a very wonky cbc that was do as part of routine blood work at dx my platelet were 98 wbc was 1ish and my anc was 02 and have been there for month I would discover later like most of you I was refer to a hematologist who base on the cbc and the fact that I have not have any illness to include a cold for year do not think a I have anything to worry abouta but just to be safe go get a bmb to rule anything out 12 hour later I was admit to the hospital with confirm aml with the dreaded 7 3 red devil chemo drip into my hickman six hour later I was bless with an amazing medical team at lds hospital in slc ut lead by the amazing finn peterson from denmark who have been specialize in acute leukemia for 30 year he immediately see the shock an awe in my eye and graciously prescribe anti depressant and anti anxiety med that help I so much during my year of chemo dr peterson do an amazing job literally draw on my stainless board in my room cytogenetic component of aml because my very first question was is aml hereditary with thought of my precious daughter he confirm not hereditary but certainly genetic wait what he ask about exposure to benzene and explain that people around military installation yep 30 year of that and those expose to secondary smoke yep both parent chain smoker have high chance of blood cancer by the way my brother was dxd with nhl about a year after I so back to my previous comment about cancera s cause yes I believe there is an environmental causation and possibly hereditary for some type but I do think most cancer are random as discuss in the johna s hopkin study https hub jhu edu 2017 03 23 cancer mutation cause by random dna mistake and whenever I would start down a pity party about a why mea relative to cancer my mind would always go to child stricken with this disease as adult we can be reason with make to understand why this procedure bmb is necessary but a child good lord how heart wrench that must be my advice to any adult do the why I business go volunteer in a childrena s cancer ward that syndrome will be cure forever he far explain the three category of aml favorable intermediate and unfavorable if I was in the favorable category I may be able to be treat with chemo only otherwise stem cell transplant was the treatment path he promise I would know my sub type and any mutation flt3 cebpa ect within two week but job one was to get I into remission fortunately I tolerate the induction chemo well with only slight mucositis and no other complication not even a fever I manage to walk 3 to 4 mile everyday whether I want to or not as promise 2 week in I was overjoyed to learn I have inversion 16 with no mutation chemo only for I I spend 28 day in the hospital and send home to return in four week to begin consolidation now this is where my smooth cancer journey go somewhat off the track but I share it in case other have or will experience this anomaly the consolidation process for aml have been the same for decade 30 day between dose six day get chemo hiaric nadir with transfusion for a month and back for another round not this girl although I continue to feel fabulous telework full time for the air force my bone marrow take a huge hit I give myself neopegen shot every day from day 10 to day 40 because my white would not come up and my dang platelet were the scourge the require platelet number to begin another cycle of consolidation was 100 well mine never get there in fact my consolidation session were twice as long as advertise with a reduce dose from 3 0 to finally 1 5 the european standard by the way we americana s like to hit it with the big gun the great news is by the grace of almighty god who guide my amazing medical team I am in remision and live a very abundant life my med team follow I with quarterly cbc and pcrs for four year and due to over 40 red blood transfusion I require phlebotomy to decrease the iron store on my liver in jan I will be deem cure by my team I am forever grateful I work fulltime take a month long european vacation with my girl and hubby every summer because not to be morbid but tomorrow and your 401k is not guarantee and feel amazing I stay here because through all of this god reveal my purpose to encourage to pray to give hope to those in the fight of their life when I was dxd I just want to meet talk to someone who survive hope is so critical not all who are dxd with aml have a difficult path we all hear about the hard path I want people to know some have a rather uneventful journey I pray someone read this is help and encourage blessing julie,neutral,1

I go to a counselor for a few reason but the main one being that I am so overwhelmed with all my medical issue and doctor well before we could really get into much of that I have to get through a lot of family drama that was go on at the same time now that is not as bad as it was I am try to focus on I and my medical issue I am just need some guidance I get really overwhelmed with all the doctoring I have plenty go on besides fibro and cfs chronic mono retiopathy insulin resistance a cyst on my brain a slip disc migraine pcos infertility is a big one possible cancer a scare since december they think maybe leukemia colon cancer and then in may I think I find out I have pre cancer of stomach and esophagus focal intestinal metaplasia right before I find out about the pre cancer in fact the same day I go to my gynecologist beforehand and as hard as it was ask for birth control I have try the pill several kind over the year and they make I so sick so I go with nuva ring I am 35 almost 36 I have been divorce for a little over a year but I am date someone I honestly would be thrill to accidentally get pregnant it would be a miracle and I am not get any young so I do not truly want to prevent it but I am not really try either accidental is fine but do not want to try on purpose as in do not want to go to fertility specialist and I have have the talk with my boyfriend as well and he is okay with it too know the chance are slim to none anyway but he say the only thing that scare he is my health make sense so my thought on this day were to get birth control to help control my horrible cramp that have been bad since surgery in september they were look for endometriosis they do a d c while in there and a hysteroscopy result come back negative and everything look okay well I even cry just ask for birth control tell she how hard it was to ask for that I do not want it for the purpose of prevent pregnancy just to try to regulate hormone know when my period is come and reduce cramping and heavy bleeding also in my mind I think I would just do it a few month and really focus on get over this chronic mono well I go by my gi doc office after to pick up some of my record before christ was go to xfer to a new doc close to home I have to hurry before christ I have a doc appt a few street away with my oncologist so I get these result and quickly look thru the pathology report where I see is circile positive for focal intestinal metaplasia this test was do in june 2011 and nobody tell I of this finding so I bring a copy to my oncologist where she was highly upset and want I to really get this take care of and in the course of my appointment I mention get on birth control which she say was a good idea and mention because I want to focus on get over mono before I ever try to or even accidentally get pregnant so then she tell I the chronic mono is probably never go away I burst into tear after the appt so much info in that one day from 3 doc appt my head was spin so this was around may 1st I use nuva ring for all of may and june I have continue counseling and I have cry everyday since may 1st just so overwhelmed with everything but I also think the nuva ring have cause deep depression as well I have discuss all of this with the counselor a few day ago at my appointment she ask I if I think my mood go up and down a lot I happen to be happy the last 2 day we talk last week and I think it is because it is my week off the nuva ring and I do not plan to use it anymore because I really think its make I more depressed but I feel like her question was hint towards wonder if I am bipolar my mom is but I really truly deep down do not believe I am at all I do not even have any doubt yes I have up and down but they coincide with what is go on in my life at the time why am I happy this week and not lat week well I am off the nuva ring and my blood test result for leukemia look to be negative that is so relieve I have a good talk with my boyfriernd last week I got pay last week it was a good week I was not like super over the top manically happy just in a good mood and feel less stress for all those week before I have also been struggle real bad with money to the point of barely have any grocery and then also my car break down I was in a good mood because the repair was free under warranty huge money stress relief so I want to know of any of you were mis diagnose with bipolar I read online that it happen often in people with fibromyalgia the fibro symptom sometimes can seem to mimic bipolar because we are happy when we feel good and can get really down and depress when we do not feel good but also in my defense I have have so many life change in the past 2 year it would be a lot for anyone to deal with family drama husband leave I I moved got divorce move 2 more tiem drama from the ex husband financial struggle loss of job loss of friend loss of relationship with my inlaw which kill I because I love his family so much they save I from my own 12 year ago my own family is highly dysfunctional and even worse now than before at least I am old now and can handle thing differently but I do not just lose a mother and father inlaw I lose the brother and sister inlaw aunt uncle cousin and their baby and mostly I miss his mom and his grandma and his aunt wish I have know the last time I would see they so I could have have a proper goodybye I try keep in touch but I was do all the reach I even flat out ask if they want I in their life are they mad at I for file for divorce because in my defense he leave I and I give he 9 month to come back home before file for divorce I call he and try to work thing out honestly I do not even know what was wrong so have beg several time to just talk thing over I think he at lesat owe I that much but he was kinda crazy himself not act like himself leave I his job his friend and would not speeak to his parent or any family etiher he just want to be alone so there was all that I was go thru I am start over in every way its a huge life change I think that alone entitle I to lot of up and down then add fibro and cfs and all my other medical issue to the mix and a dysfunctinoa family where emotional abuse drug mental illness and so on are involve I do not want to be around they my own family and it kill I because I want a close family I want it but I can not be

http www petitiononline com go1315 petition html to for the awareness of the new retrovirus xmrv and a blood test cover by social security world wide dear president and minister of health I write these line to inform you of what is arguably the most important medical discovery in a decade on 8 october the journal science publish an article link a retrovirus call xmrv with chronic fatigue syndrome cfs early this retrovirus also been link to prostate cancer scientist at the whittemore peterson institute wpi in reno nevada the cleveland clinic and the national cancer institute of usa detect xmrv retrovirus dna in blood cell from 68 of 101 patient 67 of syndrome chronic fatigue compare with 8 of the 218 healthy control 3 7 in this first study they seek the dna only in the cell nucleus but in subsequent test look also into the plasma the percentage rise to 98 in people with chronic fatigue syndrome with no change in healthy control this prove that the xmrv is present in most of cfs patient the fact that this retrovirus is present in almost all affect cfs suggest that its role is very important and decisive next study will have to determine among other thing whether the xmrv is cause immune derangement that cause cfs or take advantage of a derangement in the immune system to attack scientist are work to have more precise control of the retrovirus and get a simple test can show whether you have the xmrv actively or not something they think will come out soon the xmrv is a retrovirus this mean it have the ability to hide their genetic code by integrate it into the cell it infect a feature of this retrovirus that have draw attention to the scientist is that xmrv find in cfs patient are genetically identical even when they come from distant geographical area this suggest that virus is a fairly recent in biological term primitive and undeveloped and hope their replication capacity is relatively low each time a retrovirus reproduce remake its genome and therefore the possibility of small change or genetic disorder are very common the fact that these virus are so similar is in itself strange the xmrv is a gammaretrovirus relate to leukemia in rat and was first identify in human in 2007 by dr robert silverman department of cancer biology at the cleveland clinic usa work on prostate cancer tissue the xmrv would be the third pathogen retrovirus find in human only two other know retrovirus in human the t cell leukemia and hiv retrovirus are associate with immune deficiency inflammatory disease neurological disease and cancer this virus is also present in a lot of neuroimmune disease include autism and fibromyalgia chronic fatigue syndrome cfs misname chronic fatigue is a debilitate disease of unknown etiology is estimate to affect 17 million people around the world include develop country it is classify by the world health organization with the number g93 3 in icd 10 it is an organic disease and multisystem disease progressively affect the immune system neurological cardiovascular and endocrine system and is characterize by severe fatigue cause substantial loss of concentration and memory spatial disorientation restless sleep intolerance to light sound and temperature change intolerance to emotional stress and physical activity muscle and joint pain chemical sensitivity and a sense of permanent flu state among other symptom in addition there have been severe disruption in the function of nk cell in blood pressure and orthostatic balance a significant reduction of blood flow to the brain and a reduction in oxygen consumption capacity of the cell at the same time the external appearance do not reflect the patient illness his appearance is normal despite the recognition of cfs as an organic disease by the expert and even by the world health organization and study show immunodeficiency between nk cell and lymphocyte subset th1 th2 ratio physician not expert in the disease which are the vast majority have classify as a mental illness non existent people with chronic fatigue syndrome have been divert to mental health patient from consider liars faker and tramp to depression this have mean for patient who for year without correct diagnosis are see how their physical and intellectual capacity are dwindle and no one will explain they even that is happen this medical attitude have influence the social administrative and patient family that have lead to a forced social isolation and family now find a retrovirus that may explain the symptom of a disease as complex as chronic fatigue syndrome and that whether direct cause as if it is indirect latent leave the health of cfs patient is very poor immune deficiency neurological endocrine the study have have an impact worldwide usa japan united kingdom belgium cuba make appropriate inquiry to take necessary measure meanwhile international level 75 of the top scientist have meet in cleveland to determine the pathogenic mechanism of retroviral transmission and explore treatment and vaccine http www cleveland com healthfit index ssf 2009 11 top_scientists_to_meet_at_clev html it would be desirable that the ministry of health shall report correctly and start a protocol of care to patient potentially carry the retrovirus especially in those with cfs it is unacceptable that the excessive size is give the influenza a virus in contrast to the denial in practice of xmrv the new retrovirus associate with prostate cancer and neuroimmune disease like cfs fibromialgya and autism keep in mind that base on this preliminary study 3 7 of the population are carrier of potentially pathogenic retrovirus we still do not know its transmission route therefore pose a threat for blood supply it is the responsibility of the government and the ministry of health to coordinate informational and prevention campaign in order to prevent the contamination of the blood supply with xmrv it is also the responsibility of the ministry of health to inform the medical community of the link between this retrovirus xmrv and chronic fatigue syndrome and prostate cancer social security should cover for xmrv blood test in all the patient that are already ill and a screening test should be available to preserve safety of blood supply if study confirm that this is the case it would not be acceptable after this finding that some doctor ignorant physician prescribe further cognitive behavioral therapy or antidepressant in cfs patient as this will only increase mitochondrial damage and reduce the defense of an immune system already depress by a retrovirus I hope so take into account this information and take necessary measure to avoid criticism of society in general and voter in particular in term of time management to take action

relevant financial relationship from medscape medical news highly anticipate study is second to link chronic fatigue syndrome and retrovirus kathleen louden august 25 2010 the author of a new study that find a strong association between chronic fatigue syndrome cfs and a group of mouse retrovirus closely relate to xmrv or xenotropic murine leukemia virusrelate virus offer possible explanation for the vary result among different research laboratory in europe and the united states publish online august 23 in the proceeding of the national academy of sciences the study is the first to confirm the result of lombardi and colleague from last october science 2009 326 585 589 that group report find xmrv in peripheral blood mononuclear cell from 67 of 101 patient with cfs compare with 3 7 of 218 healthy control patient four subsequent study fail to find evidence of xmrv or related virus in patient with cfs include a study from the us center for disease control and prevention cdc in atlanta georgia publish online july 1 retrovirology 2010 7 57 the current study conduct by researcher at the national institutes of health nih and the us food and drug administration fda find a high rate of infection in cfs affect patient with what the author call murine leukemia virus mlv relate virus 86 5 of 37 patient with cfs have mlv like virus gene sequence in their peripheral blood mononuclear cell vs 6 8 of 44 healthy blood donor the researcher report although the scientist do not find xmrv in their patient sample xmrv is a type of mlv accord to study coauthor harvey alter md chief of clinical study for the nih department of transfusion medicine their datum dr alter say august 23 during a media briefing hold by the nih in bethesda maryland are highly confirmatory of the finding of the science study lead by researcher at the whittemore peterson institute in reno nevada and 2 other institution result contrast with other study a dilemma is how to reconcile why some lab find this association and other do not dr alter say difference in test method do not appear to explain the disparity between the result from the new study and those of the recent cdc study dr alter say in an interview with medscape medical news we test some of their blood sample and also find they negative he say in addition an nih institute determine both laboratory have equivalent sensitivity in their assay the lead author of the other study cdc microbiologist william switzer mile per hour tell medscape medical news the good method of collect and test blood sample for this class of retrovirus is not yet establish accord to dr alter the nih will convene a panel of expert september 7 to 8 to discuss this issue and other relate to xmrv at the 1st international workshop on xmrv some researcher also have link xmrv to prostate cancer dr alter say the most likely reason for the discrepancy in result is patient selection diagnosis of cfs is base on a symptom complex not a specific disease marker all patient in the nih fda study meet the accept diagnostic criterion for the syndrome and most blood sample were from the patient population of a single coauthor who is a cfs expert he say there may be a geographic difference dr alter tell medscape medical news in the northeast cfs may be due to mlv and in the west it may be due to xmrv however he caution against interpret their result as prove causation of cfs we have not answer that question yet dr alter say add that the cause could be multifactorial it is also possible that the high frequency of mlv relate infection in their cohort with cfs indicate an increase susceptibility to viral infection because of immune dysfunction rather than a causal role the author speculate in their article the research team do prove that mlv infection persist as a follow up to use frozen blood sample obtain from patient with cfs nearly 15 year ago the investigator obtain fresh blood sample from 8 of the 32 mlv positive patient and 7 again test positive for the retrovirus it was the same virus but it have mutate as a retrovirus do dr alter say virus sequence see in their patient sample were polytropic not xenotropic and were more diverse than those report by the nevada group accord to dr alter this variability is characteristic of a retrovirus and boost the author confidence that laboratory contamination was not responsible for their finding he say during the medium briefing indeed the researcher were very thorough in show there was no mice contamination say a coauthor of an accompanying commentary in the proceeding andrew mason mbbs associate professor of medicine at the university of alberta in canada take together with the research by lombardi et al these are 2 important study that should not be ignore dr mason tell medscape medical news publication delay dr alter say his team go to extra length to rule out the possibility of laboratory contamination even ask the journal editor to delay publication of their article after it was accept so they could do more test the lay medium report in july that this action draw criticism from the cfs community who fear suppression of the finding the decision come from the us department of health and human service steve monroe phd of the cdc tell medscape medical news official want to find out why result of the 2 federal study differ I appreciate the frustration of the advocate community but our goal was to ensure we were provide the good and most accurate datum send out an incorrect message would be detrimental say dr monroe director of the cdc division of high consequence pathogen and pathology switzer say he and his coauthor also temporarily hold up publication of their paper but end up change nothing we feel it was the very good science we could do he say they were unable to test patient blood sample from dr alters group switzer say because those scientist do not have sufficient store specimen leave although the 2 team could not explain their conflicting result dr alter say he and his coworker also feel confident about their datum we were able to add information that I think make the paper much strong he say regard their effort to retest some patient and to address concern about potential laboratory contamination dr alter say I think all along it is more important to be right than to be fast dr alter dr mason dr

hi ia m sarah ia m 19 and was just diagnose with vin I three week ago this come after 4 month of near constant pain in my vulva that start to severely limit my lifea I have to quit my job and was generally anxious every time I have to leave the house in fear of the pain start in a public place that I couldna t stop to make myself comfortable I see two different doctor who could come up with no answer until the last one three week ago who have a suspicion it was vin and do a biopsy that confirm it it was a relief at first to finally know what was cause I so much pain and struggle in my life but when he tell I my treatment option the future didna t look so bright anymore I opt to have the laser ablation do figure that I need to go with the procedure that yield the good outcome I have the surgery do on october 4th so ita s been about a week and a half into recovery now and if I think my vin pain was bad ita s a paper cut or a bruise compare to the pain I have been deal with since the surgery the first three day were manageable if not downright pleasant I barely have any pain at all just a little discomfort when I peed thata s not to say I couldna t feel or see that thing down there were different and my doctor have tell I this reprieve would happen that the actual pain was just around the corner I learn this to be true when I wake up in the middle of the third night scream because the pain was so bad this was complement with an panic attack because I have truly never feel so bad a pain in my life and I have deal with leukemia before luckily I have my mom xanax and pain med on hand so the situation was advert at least until the next episode if I am being honest this last week and a half have been a huge blur ita s all just been about manage my pain both physical and psychological let I touch on the latter for a moment I have a bad breakup back in january and that result in about a 6 month period fill with casual sex with more guy than I can count on two hand if anyone is to blame for this current hardship it is myself yet at the same time it kill I to know that one of these guy give this to I walk away scot free and is out there live his life unaware of how difficult he have make mine and even if he do know he probably wouldna t care at this point I am absolutely terrified to have sex again ia ve have cancer and I deal with mental illness but I have never been move by either of those thing to reach out to a support group until my diagnosis of vin these past month have been so damaging to I and I just hope that a resolution is close I would give absolutely anything to be free of this pain I wish I could write some sort of happy ending but ia m still heal thank you so much for read,negative,0

I want to share some thing about my dad as a way to honor pay tribute to he at the bottom of this is something I say about my daddy at his funeral since his funeral two people have touch my heart with what they have say about dad the first take a picture of my dad and tap it to his dashboard to remind he of the kind of husband he want to be another man only meet dad a few time after the funeral he tell his young daughter that tom was a smile not a frown she ask what that mean he say when you picture tom in your mind and think of he you see he with a smile he never frown the man say he want to be more like daddy he want to be remember as a smile how wonderful it is that daddy touch people live in this way follow is what I say at the funeral most of you here today know my dad so some of this you may already know but my dad was such a humble man that I feel one of the good way to honor he is to tell you more about he do you know that when my dad was young they want he to record a country music album but he turn it down to stay on the farm and help his family do you know that my dad build a house from the ground up by himself the answer to those two question is probably no and that is ok because what you probably do know about my dad is that he truly love people he help people in need without ever being ask he was one of the most selfless people I have ever know when he was diagnose with leukemia and they give he three month to live one of the first thing he do was count out three month and say he want to beat that because he do not want people to have to stand in the cold for a grave side service he was tell he was die and one of his first concern was for all of you here today that is remarkable to I he was a precious and rare find he embody everything a human being should be let alone what a husband and father should be I am who I am largely because of who my daddy was and I know he impact the life of many sit here today our loss is by far heaven gain god give we an angel in daddy for many year but decide on tuesday that it was time to call this angel home there is a poem I give to dad several year ago I think it accurately describe he and what he mean to I it is call the great hero this world have many hero you d know most of they by name its apparent that they give their good and they deserve their fame but among all of the hero this world have ever have there s not one that I admire more than my precious dad he s more than just a hero he never look for praise he s heroic in his quiet strength and in his caring way he may not be as famous as those you hear about or see but he s everything and so much more a hero ought to be he keep his word its good as goldon this you can depend he s honest and he s loyal too I m proud that he s my friend when I hear about a hero and the special thing they ve do it remind I of my father for he is the great one john trapani here or in heaven daddy you will always be my hero my dad will always be my hero and I hope that this tribute honor he and touch other,positive,2
ok since the new research say that the retrovirus is link to prostate cancer and cfs then I was wonder do any of you have family member or a family history of prostate cancer here is the late research I am refer to retrovirus link to chronic fatigue syndrome xmrv see in 2 3 of cfs patient 10 million in you s may carry virus by daniel j denoon webmd health news review by louise chang md oct 8 2009 some 10 million americans may carry a recently discover retrovirus now link to chronic fatigue syndrome the virus xenotropic murine leukemia virus relate virus or xmrv was detect in 67 of 101 patient with chronic fatigue syndrome by vincent c lombardi phd of the whittemore peterson institute in reno nev and colleague the researcher also find the virus in nearly 4 of healthy comparison subject suggest that million of americans may carry the mysterious virus which was first detect in prostate cancer the discovery of xmrv in two major disease prostate cancer and now chronic fatigue syndrome is very exciting if cause and effect is establish there would be a new opportunity for prevention and treatment of these disease say robert h silverman phd of cleveland clinics lerner research institute in a statement email to webmd silverman is on of the team of scientist that first discover xmrv and was among the researcher link the virus to chronic fatigue syndrome and prostate cancer it is not yet prove that xmrv actually cause either chronic fatigue or prostate cancer in prostate cancer patient the virus is see in patient who carry a genetic mutation that disable a key virus fight immune response but the virus is see in chronic fatigue patient with and without this mutation where do the virus come from the virus is closely relate to a retrovirus that is become part of the mouse genome oddly xmrv can not infect mouse cell but can easily infect human cell it is unlikely that so many human have catch xmrv from mice it is more likely that the virus is spread from human to human but how that happen remain to be see an editorial by john m coffin of tufts university boston and jonathan p stoye of the institute for medical research london accompany the lombardi report in the current issue of the online journal sciencexpress coffin and stoye note that if 4 of healthy people truly do carry xmrv it mean that the virus is astonishingly widespread if these figure are bear out in large study it would mean that perhaps 10 million people in the united states and hundred of million worldwide are infect with a virus whose pathogenic potential for human is still unknown they write what is know is that virus closely relate to xmrv do cause many different disease include cancer in other warm blooded animal further study may reveal xmrv as a cause of more than one well know old disease with potentially important implication for diagnosis prevention and therapy coffin and stoye suggest,neutral,1
I am sure all of we remember a point in time when we as kid think nothing could hurt bad than a stubbed toe since then as we have get more and more damage our definition of the bad pain ever have change and change again this is why I think the doctor ask I what my pain level is on a scale of 1 to 10 is so useless what someone else find a 9 like get a tattoo I might not even notice what I consider a good day at a 4 might be someone else 10 or even bad their 4 might by my 10 when I was work as a nurse a zillion year ago a teenage kid come into the office in a wheelchair two week early he was the captain of the basketball team the doctor demand he be on the table to be check out so as carefully as I could I pick he up and put he on the table and he scream for five minute this was repeat when I put he back in the wheelchair that always strike I as what a 10 look like the good news is that the doctor I work for find the correct diagnosis of leukemia and within a month he was out play basketball again but I will never forget that 15 year old kid so where was I go with all of this level of pain we can all understand an immediate ouch of hit our hand against something most of we are hip on the dull ache of old injury or arthritis of of arthritis bring about by old injury that pain that is always there but that we can still say that this spot hurt and this area ache and this spot hurt most of all but after that come where the pain area start to blend together instead of my know hurt my whole leg hurt or I do not know where the pain is originate but this whole area of my body is kill I then there is what I call a fine line and hubby call a shelf where the amount of pain exceed the brain ability to process it anymore at which point everything hurt more of less equally high brain function are overwrite as the brain use all synapsis to try to process pain everything below that point can usually be treat more effectively with pain med or otc method massage aleve ten unit and so on once the brain can do nothing but rattle around with the pain impulse it is hard to get back under the line that shelf to where something can be do to fix it I have find that there is actually one more level in pain it is one I try to avoid at all cost it is where the brain just stop accept pain input a blockade go up and pain sense are not feel anymore a numbness fill the place I know should be scream I can feel nothing but I get cognitive function back but I pay for any activity I do while numb when I go back to pain,positive,2

my first wife and I have a mutual friend that we have know for over 40 year on dec 5 I find out that she is in the hospital with leukemia so try to be nice I send my ex a text to let she know she thank I and I figure that would be the end of it wrong wednesday night she call I and I can tell after about 15 second that she is plaster I was nice and talk to she for over 30 minute because I could tell she was upset from wednesday night to sunday afternoon I receive around 15 drunk text from she I discover that a person can slur their word in a text most of they make absolutely no sense whatsoever saturday I talk to our friend and she say the doctor were pleased with how her treatment was go and that she should be go home soon although she will need a bone marrow transplant in the future she also tell I that my ex have call she twice and was drunk both time I send a text to my ex and let she know what I have find out and pretty much tell her word for word what I have been tell by our friend sunday afternoon I get 2 phone call from the ex which I ignore and then I get 5 text message the first 4 make no sense and it was obvious that she was drunk again in the 5th text she was call I a dumbass and tell that I do not have a clue about what was go on in the world around I by this time I have have enough and block her number I have not been around she for over 5 year and at that time I know she was a problem drinker head for problem and I let she know I am pretty sure she is a full blow alcoholic now and that is sad she do not drink at all when we were marry since then she have have 2 duis that I know of and lose her license for a year on her last one the reason that I post this was because when I was read her text and during the one phone conversation I realize that I was just like she when I was drink after a few drink any logical thinking that I have was completely go I remember send out a bunch of email one night and the next morning I get up and read they and have to send out a bunch of apology thankfully I do learn my lesson about email while drunk it make I sad for she that she is in the condition that she is in and I wish there was something that I could do but I do not know what it would be I know she well enough to know that she is not go to listen to I I do put she on the prayer list at church sunday anyway I am so glad to be sober this have been a good reminder of what it use to be like,negative,0

been a big strong healthy man he could do anything and was good at everything it start with a sinus infection he could not kick then he develop a purple rash like mark on his back side that would not go away he come to the hospital where I am a nurse at and it was the first time he would ever go to a hospital ever see he in that bed in that gown was shock I know deep inside something terrible was wrong a bone marrow biopsy later reveal he have mds we were relieve as this was not leukemia yet they take he to or to clean out the necrotic tissue on his back side only to discover it was not dead tissue at all this leave he with a large painful wound on his buttock very close to private area in a man who now have no immune system he could hardly sit and it need to be keep clean it was bad they do not know what the purple mark was outpatient light chemo was suppose to keep thing at bay but within month he progress to atypical cml and then shortly thereafter aol with a 6 9 translocation very rare poor prognosis he develop a rare skin disease call sweet syndrome that come from this awful disease leukemia purple blister all over his body like a leper painful biopsy and group of resident with camera take photo of my father body this is what was on his backside prior being only 62 extremely healthy he decide on chemo due to age he have a somewhat reduce chemo induction chemo almost kill he or the fluid overload that happende with bag and bag of fluid give to he for low blood pressure intubation and his heart shock 5 time because he go into a rapid a fib he make it out surprised everyone a month in the hospital for induction a month for consolidation what a patient man he never complain and the amazing news of remission then the long wait of find a bone marrow donor but alas we do and it happen we were so excited thing were look great his number do what they suppose to my dad develop a rash though this time different than before hot pink red skin head to toe itchy as hell and flake off constantly were initially tell graft vs host disease and that it is a good sign he was do great and then I see change in his count that were reminiscent of when he first got diagnose high wbcs low hemoglobin and platelet I have a bad bad feeling blood work and bone marrow biopsy ultimately show the graft fail back to out patient chemo and wait for a plan dad still with the rash

october 13 2009 is a virus the cause of fatigue syndrome by denise grady could a virus be the cause of chronic fatigue syndrome a study publish last week in the journal science suggest that might be the case report that many patient who have the syndrome were infect with a recently discover virus chronic fatigue syndrome have long been a medical mystery and the subject of debate sometimes bitter among doctor researcher and patient it affect at least one million americans cause extreme fatigue muscle and joint pain sleep problem difficulty concentrate and other symptom its cause is unknown symptom can last for year and there is no effective treatment researcher disagree about whether it is one disease or a collection of symptom that may have different cause in different patient it have sometimes been stigmatize as more mental than physical with patient label neurotic depressed or hypochondriacal many patient find even the name of the disorder offensive a not so subtle hint that it is not a real disease the new report have intrigue scientist been see as vindication by some patient and inspire hope for a treatment I just feel like the whole future have change for we say anne ursu 36 a writer live in cleveland who have have the syndrome in the past but the new study is not conclusive and a great deal of work remain to be do to find out whether the new virus really do play a role just detect it in patient do not prove it is what make they sick people with the syndrome may have some other underlying problem that make they susceptible to the virus which could be just a passenger in their cell even so thousand of patient have already contact scientist ask to be test say dr judy mikovits the first author of the study and the research director at the whittemore peterson institute in reno a research center create by the parent of a woman who have the syndrome dr mikovits say she expect a test to become available within week the new suspect is a xenotropic murine leukemia virus relate virus or xmrv which probably descend from a group of virus that cause cancer in mouse how or when xmrv find its way into human is unknown but it have also been link to cancer in people it was first identify three year ago in prostate cancer and later detect in about one quarter of biopsy from man with that disease and in only 6 percent of benign biopsy it is a retrovirus from the same notorious family that cause aid and leukemia in people dr mikovit and researcher from the national cancer institute and the cleveland clinic report in science that 68 of 101 patient with chronic fatigue syndrome or 67 percent were infect with xmrv compare with only 3 7 percent of 218 healthy control subject further testing after the paper was write find the virus in nearly 98 percent of about 300 patient with the syndrome dr mikovits say she say she believe that the virus would eventually be find in every patient with chronic fatigue syndrome xmrv affect the immune system can probably cause a variety of illness and may join force with other virus to bring on the syndrome she say the study receive a mixed review from dr william c reeve who direct public health research on the syndrome at the center for disease control and prevention he call the research exciting but preliminary and say he was surprised that a prestigious journal like science have publish it because the researcher do not state the age or sex of the patient and control or describe the duration of the illness or how it come on if I do not know the nature of the case and control I can not interpret the finding dr reeve say we and other are look at our own specimen and try to confirm it he say add if we validate it great my expectation is that we will not he note that there have been false start before include a study in the 1990 link the syndrome to another retrovirus which could not be confirm by later research many patient and a community of doctor and researcher who specialize in the syndrome take issue with the disease center approach to the illness and the way it define who is affect they claim that the c d c include people whose problem are purely psychiatric

obviously cause for concern dr le grice say add that it was important to find out if the virus was associate with any more disease and how closely he say that just carry the virus do not necessarily mean a person was at high risk for disease note that people may harbor other virus that will never harm they the immune system probably keep the virus in check but he ask if it is a problem how well can we diagnose it and how well can we treat it even though antiretroviral drug have already been develop to treat h i v infection he say this virus was different and might need its own line of drug

is a virus the cause of fatigue syndrome science time d1 the new york times october 13 2009 could a virus be the cause of chronic fatigue syndrome a study publish last week in the journal science suggest that might be the case report that many patient who have the syndrome were infect with a recently discover virus chronic fatigue syndrome have long been a medical mystery and the subject of debate sometimes bitter among doctor researcher and patient it affect at least one million americans cause extreme fatigue muscle and joint pain sleep problem difficulty concentrate and other symptom its cause is unknown symptom can last for year and there is no effective treatment researcher disagree about whether it is one disease or a collection of symptom that may have different cause in different patient it have sometimes been stigmatize as more mental than physical with patient label neurotic depressed or hypochondriacal many patient find even the name of the disorder offensive a not so subtle hint that it is not a real disease the new report have intrigue scientist been see as vindication by some patient and inspire hope for a treatment I just feel like the whole future have change for we say anne ursu 36 a writer live in cleveland who have have the syndrome in the past but the new study is not conclusive and a great deal of work remain to be do to find out whether the new virus really do play a role just detect it in patient do not prove it is what make they sick people with the syndrome may have some other underlying problem that make they susceptible to the virus which could be just a passenger in their cell even so thousand of patient have already contact scientist ask to be test say dr judy mikovits the first author of the study and the research director at the whittemore peterson institute in reno a research center create by the parent of a woman who have the syndrome dr mikovits say she expect a test to become available within week the new suspect is a xenotropic murine leukemia virus relate virus or xmrv which probably descend from a group of virus that cause cancer in mouse how or when xmrv find its way into human is unknown but it have also been link to cancer in people it was first identify three year ago in prostate cancer and later detect in about one quarter of biopsy from man with that disease and in only 6 percent of benign biopsy it is a retrovirus from the same notorious family that cause aid and leukemia in people dr mikovit and researcher from the national cancer institute and the cleveland clinic report in science that 68 of 101 patient with chronic fatigue syndrome or 67 percent were infect with xmrv compare with only 3 7 percent of 218 healthy control subject further testing after the paper was write find the virus in nearly 98 percent of about 300 patient with the syndrome dr mikovits say she say she believe that the virus would eventually be find in every patient with chronic fatigue syndrome xmrv affect the immune system can probably cause a variety of illness and may join force with other virus to bring on the syndrome she say the study receive a mixed review from dr william c reeve who direct public health research on the syndrome at the center for disease control and prevention he call the research exciting but preliminary and say he was surprised that a prestigious journal like science have publish it because the researcher do not state the age or sex of the patient and control or describe the duration of the illness or how it come on if I do not know the nature of the case and control I can not interpret the finding dr reeve say we and other are look at our own specimen and try to confirm it he say add if we validate it great my expectation is that we will not he note that there have been false start before include a study in the 1990 link the syndrome to another retrovirus which could not be confirm by later research many patient and a community of doctor and researcher who specialize in the syndrome take issue with the disease center approach to the illness and the way it define who is affect they claim that the c d c include people whose problem are purely psychiatric

m not one to express all of my emotion nor am I a crier I leave that to my sister when I do cry its usually when I m home alone or someplace private maybe this is the reason why I have 2 bald spot in my hair they are a smooth as a babys bottom I knownot goodbut its stress this have happen to I before about 7 year again where I was extremely stress my mom aml was consider not classify in addition her blood keep clot so they have have to keep her blood thinner heparin do not work and they have to try a different type hence the upcoming amputation due the multiple clot in her right leg all of her toe have die and dry gangrene have set in that was a very painful process for my mom and she require a pump for pain med the pain med along with the chemo she receive cause an illus in her stomach she have a nose tube put in for 2 week and that was finally remove she have have her first round of chemo 7 3 and on day 14 another bone marrow biopsy which unfortunately do not put the leukemia into remission apparently it do not even remotely kill the leukemia cell she was ask if she want to keep fighting or stop she choose to keep fighting and we tell she we would be by her side the entire time she was start or a more aggressive chemo which last for only 5 day and this round consist of 2 of the same drug but at a high potency and they add 2 other she was on idarubicin cytarabin fludarabine and another f drug that help produce new white blood cell this one was more of a hormone not a chemo drug and she was on this for a few more than 5 day due to the last drug they have to wait at least 30 day before they do another bone marrow biopsy or they would get a false positive tomorrow will be day 30 and she have finally recover from the chemo and all her count are back to normal therefore this friday they will do her amputation they will also have to clean out her original wound in her groin from the previous 3 surgery due to the chemo she do not completely heal and once she get her strength back and start walk with point her wound start to open and the staple start to separate from the wound they have been pack the wound to prevent it from any further infection this is painful but this pain do not last long like her toe pain she have in the beginning after she recover from surgery and they feel she is stable and they see no complication from surgery she will be move back to the oncology floor where they will do another bone marrow biopsy I just pray that this last aggressive round of chemo will put she into remission if not wellafter have this amputation and see the effect of her original wound not heal I m scare I know to think positive but it scare I after say all of thiswhat happen if the chemo do not workwith all of her other complication I feel like she may not be a candidate for a bone marrow transplant I feel like I need to prepare myself that is been read so much on the site that I have to join and tell my story I see how no matter what you get honest answer from other go through the same or very similar situation that s what I wantwhether it is good or bad I want to truth I feel as if I need to prepare myself so I can be strong for the rest of my family oh I guess I should also note my mother was a smoker for 20 year she just recently stop within the past 5 year accord to the vascular doctor her smoking have cause her blood to be disease thus all the clotting,negative,0

doctor or pharmacist of all the drug you take and if you have any of the follow condition certain heart problem heart failure slow heartbeat qt prolongation in the ekg family history of certain heart problem qt prolongation in the ekg sudden cardiac death low level of potassium or magnesium in the blood may also increase your risk of qt prolongation this risk may increase if you use certain drug such as diuretic a water pillsa or if you have condition such as severe sweat diarrhea or vomiting talk to your doctor about use vardenafil safely this drug may make you dizzy or cause vision change alcohol or marijuana can make you more dizzy do not drive use machinery or do anything that need alertness or clear vision until you can do it safely limit alcoholic beverage talk to your doctor if you are use marijuana this medication may contain aspartame if you have phenylketonuria pku or any other condition that require you to limit avoid aspartame or phenylalanine in your diet ask your doctor or pharmacist about use this medication safely before have surgery tell your doctor or dentist about all the product you use include prescription drug nonprescription drug and herbal product old adult may be more sensitive to the side effect of this drug especially qt prolongation see above this medication is not usually use in woman therefore it is unlikely to be use during pregnancy or breast feeding consult your doctor if you have any question about this medication how should this medicine be use vardenafil come as a tablet and a rapidly disintegrate dissolve in the mouth and is swallow without water tablet to take by mouth it is usually take as need with or without food 60 minute before sexual activity vardenafil usually should not be take more often than once every 24 hour if you have certain health condition or are take certain medication your doctor may tell you to take vardenafil less often follow the direction on your prescription label carefully and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand take vardenafil exactly as direct do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribe by your doctor if you are take the rapidly disintegrate tablet check the blister pack before you take your first dose do not use any of the medication from the pack if any of the blister are tear broken or do not contain tablet follow the package direction to remove the tablet from the blister package do not try to push the tablet through the foil after you remove the tablet from the blister package immediately place it on your tongue and close your mouth the tablet will quickly dissolve do not take the rapidly disintegrate tablet with water or other liquid your doctor will probably start you on an average dose of vardenafil tablet and increase or decrease your dose depend on your response to the medication if you are take the rapidly disintegrate tablet your doctor will not be able to adjust your dose because the rapidly disintegrate tablet are only available in one strength if you need a high or low dose your doctor may prescribe the regular tablet instead tell your doctor if vardenafil is not work well or if you are experience side effect vardenafil rapidly disintegrate tablet can not be substitute for vardenafil tablet be sure that you receive only the type of vardenafil that was prescribe by your doctor ask your pharmacist if you have any question about the type of vardenafil you were give storage and disposal keep this medication in the container it come in tightly closed and out of reach of child store it at room temperature and away from excess heat and moisture not in the bathroom unneeded medication should be dispose of in special way to ensure that pet child and other people can not consume they however you should not flush this medication down the toilet instead the good way to dispose of your medication is through a medicine take back program talk to your pharmacist or contact your local garbage recycling department to learn about take back program in your community it is important to keep all medication out of sight and reach of child as many container such as weekly pill minder and those for eye drop cream patch and inhaler are not child resistant and young child can open they easily to protect young child from poisoning always lock safety cap and immediately place the medication in a safe location a one that is up and away and out of their sight and reach dose and usage vardenafil is available in tablet of 2 5 milligram mg 5 mg 10 mg and 20 mg the first dose is normally 10 mg no more than one tablet should be take in 24 hour a 10 mg dose of vardenafil is approximately equivalent to 50 mg of sildenafil this is because the chemical composition of vardenafil is different from that of sildenafil vardenafil is take 25 to 60 minute before sex a maximum of one tablet can be use every 24 hour orodispersible tablet must be leave to dissolve on the tongue before swallow they should not be take with any kind of drink the drug will not work unless the man is sexually arouse so foreplay will normally be necessary vardenafil can be take with or without food but drink alcohol is not advise as it reduce the chance of get an erection alcohol can also increase the risk of adverse effect,neutral,1

is unknown symptom can last for year and there is no effective treatment woman outnumber man as patient and many people with the syndrome feel stigmatize and brush off as neurotic by doctor andrea whittemore goad who is 31 have have a severe case of the syndrome for 20 year three major medical institution try to marginalize she tell she she do not want to get well annette whittemore say in an interview but mrs whittemore have see her daughter turn abruptly from a happy healthy child to a very sick one and she have steadfastly believe that some sort of infection must have been the cause researcher have not pursue the infection theory seriously enough in her opinion and doctor have been scornful one physician tell she that if he could not understand her daughter lab result they could not be important another say he do not look at my daughter medical information because he do not want the fact to get in the way of his theory mrs whittemore say in an e mail message I could write a book on ridiculous thing that doctor say to patient with c f s she add one day I just have enough I say that is get to do something she and her husband have the mean the knowledge and the connection they are real estate developer and part owner of a gas company and an energy drink and they hold interest in other business mister whittemore is also a lawyer and a lobbyist start in the fall of 2004 they put 5 million of their own money into set up an institute at the university of nevadas medical school they also persuade the governor and state legislature to commit 10 million for a new building that would house the institutes researcher and a clinic as well as scientist from the university and the nevada cancer institute the research begin in 2006 and a clinic for patient is schedule to open in about a year rather than just dole out money to far fling researcher the whittemore want to employ their own scientist who would be devote full time to the cause in the spring of 2006 they meet dr judy a mikovits a virus expert who have spend 22 year work at the national cancer institute she have leave the institute in 2001 to get married and move to california where she go to work for a drug development company that fail she was tend bar at a yacht club when a patron say her constant talk about virus remind he of someone he know in nevada that person was a friend of annette whittemore dr mikovits soon find herself at a conference on chronic fatigue syndrome the meeting was terrible she say the science in c f s is awful not because the researcher are awful but because they have no resource but one presentation make she practically leap out of her seat the speaker was dr daniel l peterson who treat miss whittemore goad he is the peterson for whom the institute is name he have see about 5 000 patient with the syndrome in the last 20 year and he describe some who have also develop a rare type of lymphoma I say that s a retrovirus dr mikovits recall dr mikovits begin connect the dot almost immediately she know that some patient with chronic fatigue syndrome and some man with prostate cancer have a certain enzyme deficiency and she also know that tissue sample from man with prostate cancer have been find to harbor a retrovirus call xmrv for xenotropic murine leukemia virus relate virus she begin work part time with the institute and by the fall of 2006 the whittemore have hire she as research director one of her first project was to look for xmrv in blood sample from people with chronic fatigue syndrome and from healthy control subject many of the sample from syndrome patient 68 of 101 or 67 percent were infect she and her colleague report in science only 3 7 percent of the healthy control carry the virus xmrv the scientist suggest may cause or at least contribute to chronic fatigue syndrome further test find the virus in 90 of the 101 dr mikovits say retrovirus can cause cancer in animal and in human they include hiv and a virus that can cause leukemia I know how serious a retrovirus is mrs whittemore say I was very concerned know there would be serious implication my second thought was of course it was go to be something serious like that look at my daughter and how ill she is why would we expect it to be something simple I also feel like the weight of world was on my shoulder we would have to be tell people some very bad news but many patient were grateful and say they find hope in the discovery hope that now their illness would be take seriously and hope that the new information would lead to effective treatment or even a cure but the study is not conclusive other scientist need to replicate the test to find out if the initial finding hold up and a great deal more work is need to determine whether xmrv really do play a role just detect it in patient do not prove it make they sick patient may have some other underlying problem that make they susceptible to xmrv which could be just a passenger in their cell dr peterson say he think the crux of the problem in chronic fatigue syndrome involve a derangement in the immune system that could allow old viral infection with various herpe virus for instance that were once under control to become active again xmrv is the sort of agent that could create that effect on the immune system dr peterson say but he emphasize that more research was need among those expect to try to replicate the xmrv finding is the center for disease control and prevention but dr william c reeve who direct the agencys research on the syndrome have say that he do not expect to find the virus in blood sample from patient he say that no other study have ever prove a virus to be the cause and that stress and a history of sexual and emotional abuse were more likely to play a role in many case I blame the c d c for most of this mess mrs whittemore say add that thinking like dr reevess was what drive she to start her own research center the whittemore peterson institute is run on about 1 million a year to pay for salary equipment supply and other expense in the world of research that is not much the whittemore are try to raise more money and have receive donation as large as 50 000 from friend down to a few dollar from patient who are sick out of work and break but eager to support any research that may one day help they mrs whittemore feel that she is race

http www drlapp net melettermar2011 htm content xmrv ampligen a report from the 9th hemispherx biopharma investigator meet march 3 6 2011 gene sequence in person with cfs xmrv subset analysis and ampligen treatment what is ampligen gene sequence in person with cfs wendy fallick our research coordinator and I have just return from the 9th investigator meet sponsor by hemispherx biopharma maker of ampligen and alferon this was perhaps the most exciting of these meeting that I have attend and I suspect that information relay this past week to we will change the field of medicine forever I want to share that information with you recall that lombardi mikovit et alia publish a paper in the october 2009 science journal describe a novel retrovirus in 67 of 101 patient with cfs use a pcr polymerase chain reaction test by check for antibody viral protein and direct viral culture they were able to demonstrate this virus in 95 98 of pwcs person with cfs this virus was call xmrv because of its special characteristic xenotropic because it first develop in another animal specie but now infect only human murine because it first develop in mouse and retrovirus because it replicate backwards unlike most other virus in fact xmrv was relate to a family of murine leukemia virus or mlvs the science paper was follow by several other report that the virus was not find in other cohort and confidence in the lombardi mikovit report was wane then drs lo and alter publish a 2010 paper that identify by pcr a similar retrovirus in 86 5 of person with cfs that they have study the virus that they identify were mlvs only 2 3 base pair 00025 different from lombardis xmrv this difference have been explain as a shift in the genome attribute to time and distance that is over time virus tend to mutate slightly and it is not exceptional for virus from one geographical region lombardi mikovit on the west coast to differ slightly from those in another region lo alter east coast this was see for example in the 2009 swine flu epidemic where over 50 different strain of h1n1 were identify from hong kong singapore malaysia and so on there are two retrovirus think to be pathogenic in man htlv human t lymphotrophic virus 4 strain but only 1 is harmful to man hiv human immunodeficiency virus 2 strain but only one cause aid and now we have to add mrvs or mlvs murine retrovirus or murine leukemia virus to the list there are several strain of mlvs of which xmrv is one strain which strain are pathogenic in man have not yet been determine although xmrv have been link to familial prostate cancer at the least let turn for a second to a schematic representation of dna and xmrv dna is make up of two twisted strand of nucleic acid string together like bead only 4 nucleic acid are involve adenine cytosine guanine and thymine or a c g and t and their pattern along a single strand of dna might look like acgtacgtacgtacgtacgtacgtacgtacgtacgtacgtacgtacgtacgtacgt xmrv is an rna virus or strand of nucleotide sequence very much like a single strand of dna section of each strand are name for their specific function a strand of xmrv may be represent as ltr us gag pol env u3 ltr 5 3 notice that there is a head five prime and a tail three prime and both end are mark by a section call the long terminal repeat or ltr most virus replicate themselves start from the 5end to the 3 end retrovirus however use reverse transcriptase retweet to replicate backwards retro inside a host cell to form a strand of dna this strand then incorporate itself into the host own genomic dna by an enzyme call integrase thus human dna xmrv end up look like acgtacgtacgtacgt ltr us gag pol env u3 ltr cgtacgtacgtacgtacgt this new combination dna is call a chimera now human dna contain million of nucleotide and xmrv only contain about 8000 nucleotide so the chimera is not as easy to spot as it appear here incorporate into your genome like this the virus may take control of the cell manufacture abnormal protein and in the case of xmrv kill the cell this latter event is call apoptosis lastly unlike the hiv retrovirus that multiplie rapidly and million can be find in a single drop of blood xmrv replicate slowly and is present in only very small amount in the peripheral blood these characteristic of xmrv can explain several observation very few xmrv particle are find in a blood sample and it may take multiple sample to find they inside the cell and or chimera the xmrv is relatively protect from detection by the immune system and many blood test when pwcs are very sick their white blood cell population decrease due to apoptosis the xmrv particle is so small it can infiltrate virtually any part of the body and any system why researcher are find abnormal protein in the blood and csf of pwcs proteomic now here is the most intriguing part of our hemispherx meeting it take hundred of scientist at multiple site ten year to map out the 3 billion nucleotide in the normal human genome dr carter introduce we to howard urnovitz ceo of chronix biomedical urnovitz reveal that his research group is able to map genome at a very rapid pace he expect that in the near future chronix will be able to map your entire genome in under six hour and for probably less than a 100 fee this is startrek medicine urnovitz go on to explain that when apoptosis occur chimeras are spill into the blood stream and can be extract easily by his laboratory when his lab examine the genome of person with cfs they find chimeras make up of xmrv gene but oddly miss their ltr region this technology is wonderful news for pwcs because if xmrv or mlv can be clearly show to cause cfs then we will have an inexpensive and unique marker for the disorder the chronix test is not currently available commercially but hemispherx plan to explore the use of this technology in future study subset analysis and ampligen treatment dr david strayer medical director at hemipsherx biopharma describe a retrospective study of the response to ampligen in subject who were positive or negative for xmrv xmrv was test at vip lab which is associate with the whittemore peterson institute and use similar technique as those employ by dr mikovits at the wpi in one study serum from 208 subject from a previous double blind placebo control ampligen study were analyze for xmrv about one third were positive for the virus and two third were not activity monitoring demonstrate less activity in xmrv subject that is they were less active and presumably more ill specifically the improvement in exercise ability was monitor in these subject more improvement was measure inxmrv subject than in xmrv subject the table below describe the percentage of subject who obtain at least 25 improvement in treadmill exercise duration at week 40 of treatment as relate to xmrv serology xmrv status improve on ampligen improve with placebo difference amp pbo pos and 81 44 7 17 6 27 1 neg and 127 34 0 25 7 8 3 overall 39 23 15 9 dr strayer conclude that there was a 70 great than average exercise response in xmrv subject and a 40 low response in those who were xmrv medication use was monitor in all of these subject as well 53 of xmrv subject were able to reduce their use of symptomatic medication while only 32 of xmrv subject were able to reduce medication use these datum suggest that subject who are xmrv have an edge in respond to ampligen and that ampligen may be a treatment for cfs strayer report plan by hemispherx to monitor this in the current cost recovery amp 511 program and hopefully to generate another large double blind placebo control crossover study what is ampligen ampligen is a poly nucleic acid medication that have been study for over two decade but not yet fda approve for treat any disorder it was find in the 1980 to be effective in treat chronic fatigue syndrome symptom and subsequently undergo several trial in the us and abroad base on these result a new drug application was file with the fda in 2009 and in december of that year their complete letter of response indicate that ampligen was approvable but request that more subject be treat to assure safety and efficacy so far over 90 000 dose of ampligen have been administer to over 900 subject ampligen have unique property it is a selective toll receptor tlr3 agonist with immunomodulatory anti proliferative and anti viral property the drug increase interferon a and b restore th2 immunity to the more normal th1 type activate the immune response e g against hiv and renal carcinoma increase lak and nk cell activity induce dendritic cell maturation thus iga and some igg increase macrophage activity restore delay type hypersensitivity have antiviral effect versus retrovirus hhv6 and rna viruse this drug is administer intravenously twice weekly for at least 6 month side effect are mostly flu like in nature and overall the drug have been tolerate extremely well while ampligen is not consider a cure for cfs publish study have demonstrate improvement in duration of exercise on a treadmill and a reduction in use of concomitant medication actuarial study suggest that ampligen treatment save about 5000 per year in medical expense dr lapp have been involve with ampligen study since 1988 and our personal experience at hunter hopkin with the current amp 511 study have been that about one third of subject achieve very significant global improvement ampligen is currently available only at hunter hopkin and dr peterson lake tahoe clinic dr batemans fatigue consultation clinic in salt lake city will soon resume treatment and hemispherx is plan to add several other site around the us in addition to site in mexico and argentina for more information check out our website www drlapp net research ampligen clinical trial http clinical trial gov search for study nct00215813 and the hemispherx biopharma website at www hemispherx net for application to the amp 511 cost recovery study contact our research coordinator wendy fallick at 704 5439692 because amp 511 is a treatment protocol and not a drug study insurance may cover some or all of the expense involve we owe a great debt of gratitude to dr william carter and hemispherx biopharma for develop ampligen the only propose treatment for cfs and support research in cfs for over 22 year I know that dr carter his colleague and his company have experience the same kind of humiliation and disdain that all of we involve with cfs have experience and it is a testament to their courage and determination that they have endure all these year when they could have abandon cfs for more lucrative area,neutral,1

leukemia name of inventor history on august 2 1939 just before the beginning of world war ii albert einstein write to then president franklin d roosevelt einstein and several other scientist tell roosevelt of effort in nazi germany to purify uranium 235 which could be use to build an atomic bomb it was shortly thereafter that the united states government begin the serious undertaking know then only as the manhattan project simply put the manhattan project was commit to expedite research that would produce a viable atomic bomb make enriched uranium the most complicated issue to be address in making of an atomic bomb was the production of ample amount of enriched uranium to sustain a chain reaction at the time uranium 235 was very hard to extract in fact the ratio of conversion from uranium ore to uranium metal is 500 1 compounding this the one part of uranium that is finally refine from the ore is over 99 uranium 238 which is practically useless for an atomic bomb to make the task even more difficult the useful you 235 and nearly useless you 238 are isotope nearly identical in their chemical makeup no ordinary chemical extraction method could separate they only mechanical method could work a massive enrichment laboratory plant was construct at oak ridge tennessee harold urey and his colleague at columbia university devise an extraction system that work on the principle of gaseous diffusion and ernest lawrence inventor of the cyclotron at the university of california in berkeley implement a process involve magnetic separation of the two isotope next a gas centrifuge was use to far separate the light you 235 from the heavy non fissionable you 238 once all of these procedure have been complete all that need to be do was to put to the test the entire concept behind atomic fission split the atom in laymans term robert oppenheimer manhattan project over the course of six year from 1939 to 1945 more than 2 billion was spend during the history of the manhattan

I need some advice from people who have a clue about lead poisoning as some background we ve been plague by weird and unexplained health problem for year pretty much the entire 11 year my husband and I have been marry he develop gerd at age 24 and have been on prilosec nonstop for the last 10 year and is now have possible heart issue for which he is being evaluate I have recurrent miscarriage when we start try for a family I was only 21 when it start happen we have two kid now but I have hypertension throughout both pregnancy both kid were bear a month before their due date subsequently my kid both have special need specifically they are language delay my daughter is 7 and have receptive expressive language disorder with special support at school and my 4yo son is being evaluate for a possible case of severe adhd at age 2 my son was discover to have severe anemia the protein level they screen was at only 2 when normal is over 20 with low hemoglobin and mess up white blood cell count to the point that they automatically screen for leukemia upon get the result it was correct with iron supplementation but I understand that level of anemia is not normal I am not sure why the penny never drop to seriously consider the idea of lead poisoning I guess because we ve move around so much and I suppose I figure lead could not be a factor plus my daughter was test for metal poisoning at one point and her blood level of lead was not markedly elevate I think it was something like 1 5 so perhaps I prematurely rule the idea out until I recently read an article about lead in the glazing on dish and order some leadcheck swab just to rule it out these dish my husband and I have have they for 10 year I realize the timeline match my kid meet their developmental milestone until they were right around the point that they transition to solid food and start use dish I do not expect this to be the magic explanation though I just want to rule it out to my surprise the result was not negative one bowl we have that was not part of a set have pink streak all around the edge where I wipe the swab I understand any pink or red color with leadcheck swabs is consider positive so that would mean this bowl might be a strong positive naturally I am not let anyone use that bowl anymore and there might be trace lead on some of the other dish too that are a set and make up about half of our collection the swab do not immediately turn pink on they but after a few hour I look at it and notice there are extremely faint pink tinge around the edge of the swab which I understand mean the set might have trace level of lead too but I can not tell for sure the pink on the swab with these dish is so faint that it might be my imagination and it was not visible until hour after I use the swab I am not sure what to think about this I have take all the suspect dish out of circulation and figure I would order more leadcheck swab to test the set a few more time to be sure I will probably still get rid of they just to be on the safe side even if subsequent test are negative the one with pink streak is go in the trash of course but this is what I am wonder as I am still try to process this information 1 is it likely that use dish with extremely small level of lead could cause the kind of problem were have 2 if the other dish do not really have lead and the pink is my imagination is it possible that occasional use of a single lead contaminate dish could cause the kind of problem we ve have I estimate that all of we include the kid have use that bowl about once or twice a week for several year 3 how reliable are blood test result for detect chronic lead poisoning if my daughter have a low lead level in her blood would that rule out lead poisoning as a cause of her developmental problem or is chronic poisoning with low exposure over time something that would not elevate the level in the blood as much because the lead was being deposit in the body and accumulate still try to decide what to do next and will probably contact a doctor to discuss the matter in the near future but I swear I am go to be seriously pod if all this crap we ve go through is because my husband and I buy dish at walmart 10 year ago when we first got marry in the meantime any opinion would be appreciate,negative,0

I am pretty sure I need professional help my anxiety which is generalize throughout every aspect of my life but in the past year or so have really center on health issue is truly get out of control I have always been a very anxious person and when anything out of the ordinary happen I assume the bad it is been manageable for the most part until I have my first child 15 month ago what should have been a joyous pregnancy was mar by read story of miscarriage generic abnormality and stillbirth and convince one of these thing would happen to I miraculously I have a healthy living baby but since then I have been plague by her health issue both real and imagine fear she was diagnose with hemangiomas at 2 month old I catastrophize after research google that these were certainly grow inside she as well and all of the horrible outcome that would happen to she I watch they and measure they multiple time a day convince they were grow despite the medication it was only when the growth period for they was statistically over and they begin to fade that I stop worry daily but more obsession take its place I convince myself that she have a lazy eye and set up an eye appointment to confirm she do not I notice she have a fat roll on one ankle and not the other so I convince myself she have a tumor or blood clot pediatrician was unconcerned she itch her neck while on an antibiotic and so I immediately think she have a life threaten allergic reaction then it happen again and as a result two common class of medication are now flag in her medical history because I report itching and rash was I right to do so or do I just screw she for life I convince myself she have a dairy allergy bc she get eczema around the time we introduce dairy so I demand blood testing turn out she do not but she do have an egg allergy I fear every day she will never outgrow it and somehow she will accidentally eat egg and die around this time she develop a dark patch of skin on her neck and it was originally think to be a cafe au lait spot of which she already have another I google and find this was potentially link to neurofibromatosis and lose my mind and take she in to a dermatologist to see if she have it I was later tell the spot was actually a congenital melanocytic nevi which originally make I happy it was not nf1 until I google again and find those nevi are link with an increase risk of melanoma now I obsessively watch it for change and photograph it constantly convince she have or will get this deadly cancer she was sick over christmas and I was certain she was die of the flu because I have read story of kid die of the flu and I think it was a sign when she was sick she lose weight I then feel a lymph node in her neck and think this couple with the weight loss and hive she have experience a few time must mean she have leukemia or lymphoma for sure the pediatrician feel it and say it was per annum sized and normal I question whether he feel the right spot as I type half of this it sound so irrational and half the time I am embarrassed to go to these doctor with my issue my family convince I that she is healthy and then I feel guilty for not enjoy my healthy amazing little girl but I can not stop worry I want to see someone but I do not want medication because get this I actually want to try for a second child soon I feel like an undeserve idiot for even attempt to be a normal person and have a second kid know my behavior thus far with the first I guess I just want someone other than my family who do not get it to hear my story,negative,0

christmas 2013 start out okay until after we open our gift my mom have been suffer with post traumatic stress for a long time and she is try to handle and then there are time it seem like she is feel much well from all those memory but then something or someone in the family can say something to mom that will trigger these memory and if it is not her post traumatic stress it is her health issue also it seem like every christmas have not been enjoyable because of the fearful word that was say to my mom for example in 2010 she was tell by her prior doctor that she would not be alive for her 80th birthday or even see christmas if she do not take mextrate or predisone medicine because her neutrophil are low since she the extreme stress and lack of sleep her immune system go low I am sure that other would not agree with I on this but I do not care I am only talk about what I have witness here at home when she go through these thing also I read on the computer that lack of sleep and extreme stress can do this to the immune system it also mention that if the person have leukemia but my mom health was fine before the stress of 2010 she have see the doctor have test do and eat well but nothing was find then after my brother and daughter and her kid come from california to supposedly visit we in wisconsin mom have not been the same while they were here mom go into the hospital because of stomach problem while she was in there the doctor come into the room and tell she that she have cancer but he do not know where it was but he want she to begin take those two medication that follow monday mom do not think that was a good idea so she go to her primary doctor for a follow up that is when she tell mom that she would not live during christmas or her 80th birthday also she tell mom that there was a test do but it come back inconclusive we look up the word inconclusive and it mean when a person is not sure or that something is not definite I have a old brother and live in the state of ohio he feel that it is his duty to remind mom of her past when he do dumb stuff like this it make mom sit and focus on her childhood compare herself with other for example a friend tell my mom about her mother she tell mom how her mother have to stay in the hospice hospital and the medication she was take not mextrate or predisone this lady tell mom that she is chronically ill like her mom now mom have a hard time have trust in other sometimes include I and my young brother who live in the home with we and do whatever he can to make mom feel well when she ask for thing he will get it for if he have the money for example for christmas he buy mom a movie she love a lot it is independence day he buy it for she in dvd but she give it away to her therapist then she get body spray for christmas but she do not like it so she give it away the fear from this doctor and other doctor she see after her primary doctor she change doctor after the primary doctor tell she that and now she is ready to change doctor again because this doctor scare the hell out of she he is a doctor for senior he once tell my mom that most old people are not afraid to die she is depress my question is do you think a person have to deal with their past although it was very painful for they to remember it do you think that my brother have a right to do this even though mom have other thing in her mind,negative,0

in may 2007 when my beloved husband was first diagnose with aml at the age of 63 we do not really have enough time to consider treatment option the referring oncologist in the city where we live call to say you need to go up to uab hospital now to start chemo it was only during his first induction chemo that we were able to research the masse of information available on line being in a university hospital it was difficult to develop a relationship with any one consultant or the ever change team of doctor and nurse and when some of the doctor do stop long enough to answer our many question differ opinion add confusion my husband survive the initial aggressive induction but we were totally unprepared for the period of neutropenia that follow it he was very sick and express that the treatment would probably kill he before leukemia do three considation treatment follow and each time his recovery become more difficult and dehumanising in cr by that time my husband decide not to have a 4th consolidation as recommend by his consulting oncologist who have manage his case at the hospital op clinic my husband was bless with 15 month in remission I stop work so that we could live life to the full knowing that the prognosis for people over 60 is not positive and that the cancer could return anytime richard decide that when that time come he would not undergo a second induction and would choose palliative therapy he want to die with dignity and not in a hospital from the toxic side effect of chemical and neuropenia on 23 november 2008 follow a rountine blood check we become accutely aware that something was not right the consultatant was nearly 2 hour late for our appointment my husband was anxious and impatient and complain about the wait when the consultant finally do arrive he berate my husband as if he were a child and say you have to learn to suck this up if you do not then I would not be your consultant anymore he then procede to tell we the bad news and order my husband immediate admission into hospital we decide to go home and think about what to do next and to spend thanksgive with family I still do not know why my husband change his mind about not undergo a further induction but he do this time even more aggressive than the first they call it salvage chemo like clean up after a wreck but none of the doctor could tell we what would happen after this because the outcome are unpredicatable and different for each individual nine day later on 11 12 08 my husband heart stop beat that morning he have been tell that he have contact clostridium difficile despite all the antibiotic antifungal and antiviral medication he have been receive post chemo and that this was what was make he so sick he was admit to the icu where he die in the early hour of 12 12 08 follow a second mi richard have no history of heart problem and an ekg prior to start chemo was normal the percentage of blast in his bone marrow were just 23 prior to start chemo what I am really struggle with is whether my husband death was a good death what would have happen if he have follow a supportive or palliative option rather than the empiric treatment could he have leave this world in a more gentle way at home or hospice do anybody have story to tell that might answer these question and perhaps offer a hopeful alternative to people whose prognosis is not as good as say a young healthy person nothing can bring back my beloved husband but I have a need to know as part of contain my grief and understanding well the treatment choice for this terrible disease,negative,0
hi myra our family is just a few week far into this ordeal than yours is so mine is definitely not the voice of much experience here I know how overwhelmed you must be feel now though and want to let you know that I am think of you and your husband and hope that the worry of all of this will become a little light as treatment proceed and you see your husband make progress my mom is dad 67 year old dx with aml both induction and consolidation behind he await transplant principal caregiver in this situation she is hold up pretty well though and I think I d share a little of what seem to be help her one of the thing that she do on a regular basis is to journal a bit about what s go with my dad situation on the caringbridge site this have been a surprisingly helpful thing for she to do both from a practical point of view and an emotional one she have been able to keep track of what s go on with treatment and share update with friend and family who are concerned and interested in what s happen but probably do not want to intrude with lot of question about the detail of all that is go on in term of the emotional or psychological benefit it have been so wonderful to have hear from so many friend their love prayer well wish and concern have help all of we to feel less alone in our worry about the leukemia and issue associate with treatment the caringbridge site include a virtual guestbook she and my dad when he is up to it check in on a daily basis which have really lift their spirit another thing that they do is play game together whether they are in the hospital or at home so long as he have the energy they like to enjoy a game or two of scrabble this is something they do all the time before aml too so I think it have help a lot that they ve been able to continue to enjoy it in the midst of all of these new trouble maybe there is a similar activity that you and your husband might enjoy together we are fortunate that our family live so near to the hospital here in boston it probably give my mom some relief to leave for dinner each evening and enjoy a visit with the grandkid she is not sleep at the hospital but is stay with we when my dad is here for treatment if you are stay at the hospital I am not surprised if the stress you are feel is not even just a bit more intense and persistent I do hope that you are able to get break from time to time my mom will sometimes leave the hospital for a bit especially if dad is nap and see a movie another thing that we do as a family was to cover a bulletin board with family photo and picture of place that are special to we as impressed as we all are with brigham womens hospital here in boston it is still a sterile hospital room after all so it seem to have help both mom and dad to have picture of people and place they love most to take the chill off of the room the bulletin board is a handy thing to have as of course we ve been able to bring it to the hospital and home again as he s undergone various chemo round dad is cope as well as he can I think we do get an ipad for he so if he is feel well enough he will read email or watch a netflix movie he also read a lot which do help alleviate some of the boredom that come with a long hospital stint he take an ambien each evening to help he sleep along with an ativan which is mean to help he relax a bit and lighten some of the anxiety that have naturally accompany his situation I hope that you are do okay and that as the shock of your husband diagnosis become a little less intense you will find moment of relief and joy to sustain you through this very stressful time wish you and david the very good,neutral,1
april 12 whittemore peterson publicly challenge uk researcher to collaborate on xmrv me cfs research april 13 2010 annette whittemore founder ceo of the whittemore peterson institute issue the follow public letter to I cfs researcher in the uk essentially challenge they to collaborate in study of the me cfs and the xmrv retrovirus so as to move the science forward the open letter is address to myra mcclure co author with simon wessely of the editorial chronic fatigue syndrome and human retrovirus xmrv three study now refute the original study report the link publish feb 25 2020 in the bmj british medical journal it state in part in january 2010 our own group find no evidence of xmrv in a well characterise cohort of 186 patient with chronic fatigue syndrome in the united kingdom dr mcclure is professor of retrovirology at imperial college london dr wessely is professor of psychological medicine at king college london the follow letter may be reproduce by permission of the wpi whittemore peterson institute for neuro immune disease annette whittemore wpinstitute org april 12 2010 dear dr mcclure on behalf of the whittemore peterson institute in reno nevada wpi I am write you today to ensure that there is direct communication between wpi and your research team you may share this letter with other that you deem appropriate and I will do the same by share this letter with other interested party in both the united states and the united kingdom on january 6 2010 you report in plos one that you fail to detect xenotropic murine leukemia virus relate virus xmrv in I cfs patient sample in that publication you report the follow conclusion base on our molecular datum we do not share the conviction that xmrv may be a contributory factor in the pathogenesis of I cfs at least in the you k you subsequently make the follow statement in your commentary regard the netherlands study in the bmj van kuppeveld and colleague provide the additional information report at a conference last year that the patient in question come from an outbreak of chronic fatigue syndrome at incline village on the northern border of lake tahoe in the mid 1980 this statement about the origin of the 101 patient sample is untrue the patient in the science study were well define in the paper as have cfs by the fukuda and canadian consensus definition of I cfs more importantly the patient sample do not come from the lake tahoe outbreak as you assert but rather from patient who have become ill while live in various part of the united states we would also like to report that wpi researcher have previously detect xmrv in patient sample from both dr kerrs and dr van kuppevelds cohort prior to the completion of their own study as they request we have email communication that confirm both doctor were aware of these finding before publish their negative paper in addition dr van kuppeveld ask for and receive reagent and a positive patient sample to determine if his testing procedure could in fact detect xmrv in a positive blood sample before he publish his paper we wonder why these material were not use in his study which also fail to detect xmrv one might begin to suspect that the discrepancy between our finding of xmrv in our patient population and patient outside of the united states from several separate laboratory are in part due to technical aspect of the testing procedure to help identify the possible reason for the discrepancy in detection of xmrv wpi would like to send you know positive patient sample with control from the united states in an appropriate number along with wpi reagent so that we can help you determine whether your testing methodology will accurately detect xmrv in a clinical sample of blood in addition wpi would be willing to test a like number of sample from your patient cohort to see if our researcher can detect xmrv in those sample this critical exercise would help resolve the question of whether you are use all of the appropriate technique necessary to detect xmrv in a patient sample if your test are able to detect xmrv correctly in the know positive then the debate can appropriately center on whether we can identify the difference in the patient cohort which have been the subject of various study it is in this systematic manner that we all may help to move the science forward instead of continue to debate whether or not I cfs patient in europe are infect with xmrv it is also important to note that our initial study was not intend to prove causality of I cfs but to report a significant association between patient who have been diagnose with I cfs and xmrv we believe that there exist compelling evidence to spur additional scientific review especially in light of the fact that our team of researcher also discover xmrv in the blood of 3 7 of our non contact control I look forward to your timely reply sincerely annette whittemore founder and ceo whittemore peterson institute,neutral,1

my oncologist list alcohol as one of the possible cause the cancer that was treat and is now in remission here are some excerpt of an article that I find on a profession site responsible drinking not very responsible drinking have become a 21st century mantra for how most people view alcohol consumption but when it come to cancer no amount of alcohol is safe 1 that is the conclusion of the 2014 world cancer report wcr issue by the world health organization international agency for research on cancer iarc declare a carcinogen by the iarc in 1988 2 alcohol is causally relate to several cancer we have know for a long time that alcohol cause esophageal cancer say jrgen rehm phd wcr contributor on alcohol consumption and senior scientist at the centre for addiction and mental health in toronto ontario canada but the relationship with other tumor such as breast cancer have come to our attention only in the past 10 15 year the risk is dose dependent the more alcohol that a person drink the high the risk the alcohol cancer link have been strengthen by the finding of a dose response relationship between alcohol consumption and certain cancer a causal relationship exist between alcohol consumption and cancer of the mouth pharynx larynx esophagus colon rectum liver and female breast a significant relationship also exist between alcohol consumption and pancreatic cancer 1 link have also been make between alcohol consumption and leukemia multiple myeloma and cancer of the cervix vulva vagina and skin but few study have look at these relationship and more research is need to establish a confirm association 1 for bladder lung and stomach cancer the evidence for an alcohol cancer link is conflict how solid are these datum for the cancer that have been identify as being causally link with alcohol we are absolutely certain that alcohol cause these cancer say dr rehm about a few cancer such as pancreatic cancer we are not yet certain he say we believe that we have good evidence show that alcohol can cause pancreatic cancer but we would not go so far as we would for esophageal cancer or breast cancer and for renal cancer the iarc have say that there are indication that there may be an effect but we do not have the same level of evidence that we have for cancer that are clearly detrimentally link to alcohol but surely light drinking do not cause or contribute to cancer apparently it do in a meta analysis of 222 study comprise 92 000 light drinker and 60 000 nondrinker with cancer light drinking was associate with risk for oropharyngeal cancer esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and female breast cancer 3 from this meta analysis it was estimate that in 2004 worldwide 5000 death from oropharyngeal cancer 24 000 from esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and 5000 from breast cancer were attributable to light drinking light drinking was not associate with cancer of the colon rectum liver or larynx however a caveat is in order here when alcohol use is self report respondent might underestimate or underreport their actual alcohol intake 4 this can result in find association between cancer and light to moderate drinking when in reality alcohol intake is much high the biological mechanism that mediate alcohol related cancer are not fully understand 1 alcoholic beverage can contain at least 15 carcinogenic compound include acetaldehyde acrylamide aflatoxins arsenic benzene cadmium ethanol ethyl carbamate formaldehyde and lead ethanol is the most important carcinogen in alcoholic beverage 5 and the rate of ethanol metabolism is genetically determine 6 the first and most toxic product of alcohol metabolism is acetaldehyde ingest ethanol is oxidize by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase cytochrome p4502e1 and catalase to form acetaldehyde acetaldehyde also occur naturally in alcoholic beverage this metabolite is carcinogenic and genotoxic when in contact with the mucosa of the upper aerodigestive tract pharynx oral cavity esophagus larynx where high concentration of acetaldehyde induce mucosal hyperproliferation even low dose of alcohol in direct contact with these area can increase the risk for cancer several different causative pathway are implicate in alcohol related cancer for example alcohol is a folate antagonist and an alteration in folate metabolism and folate malabsorption are believe to interact with ethanol to impair dna methylation in breast cancer alcohol can increase estrogen level and the activity of insulin like growth factor receptor which can stimulate mammary cell proliferation in digestive tract cancer an individual genotype could play a role other mechanism that have been propose include the production of reactive oxygen and nitrogen specie and a role for alcohol as a solvent of tobacco carcinogen,neutral,1

I have been divorce for many year in my late 40 I have meet several man since my divorce and most have been dishonest cheat and so on I have finally meet a very nice man to say the least here is my dilemma I am sorry it is so lengthy we meet almost 3 month ago we see one another just about every day and on those rare occasion when we do not get to see one another he call often or text we meet and immediately hit it off and decide to see only one another I find out he have been marry for 16 yrs which is completely over and divorce for almost 7 year in that time he meet someone else they were together for 6 year live together most of that time and got engage she die of leukemia when my boyfriend and I meet he tell I all about his fianc he say she die a year ago I truly believe he do not want to lay everything on I a once in the time I have know he he have not lie to I I think he is cautious after a month and a half of date a monogamous relationship and as I say see one another daily he finally tell I she die only 4 month before we meet I feel my heart sink I feel he could not be ready to move forward after such a short time we discuss it and he say when she was diagnose she was not give a good prognosis for survival and he therefore begin to grieve and face reality at that point he truly do love she anyway when I go to his home which I do every weekend he is at my place most of the week because of work schedule anyway he still have her pic everywhere card he give she are hang pic of they together are on table her vanity is still in the bedroom with her thing on it he have a 7 year old who he see once a week but was an infant when he was with his fianc and so his daughter grow with his fianc though they see one another only once a week my boyfriend and I are not able to see one another on sunday because he have his daughter most people other than some of his friend do not know about I because there is a chance of run into his family or his fianc family there are place we can not go he is not ready for I to meet they or for they to know about I he is not ready for I to meet his daughter I have not say anything about any of his decision because I am try to be very respectful of he and his choice about our relationship there are time it do hurt though his friend really like I and are happy he have meet someone they say we are good together there are time we are invite to their home for a bbq or something but if it is on a sunday he say to they well calie can not go but my daughter and I will be there his friend think he is go somewhat overboard with this but again respect his choice he is still very much a part of his fiance family and always will be he talk of they all often and still see they when the holiday come and as new one approach we are not able to be together because I do not believe he is not over the grieve process is why I am being so patient that and the fact he really is a wonderful man my friend and a counselor however feel I am not have any of my need meet they feel because we are in a fully commit relationship it may be time to have a talk about the pic and his daughter I am afraid to have this talk with he I am try to be respectful and allow he to go through the grieve process in his way though he feel he have go through the grieving I am look for any suggestion how to handle the situation I am willing to remain patient but when might be the proper time to talk about these issue I am not want to sound selfish but as I say there are time it hurt or I feel sad because we are not able to share many thing or the pic we have take together are hide away so no one in his family will see they what advice would you give I I will remain patient thank you for your help,negative,0

hi everyone I have been read this page for a while now but I guess I was still in denial about my mom linda think that she would beat the odd and there was no way that she could leave we my mom is my good friend in the world and was diagnose in march 2016 with aml it come out of nowhere like everyone else we were totally shocked at the time I have just find out I was pregnant and two day later we are in the hospital with my mom unfortunately we end up lose the baby it is just been an incredibly hard year she have one of the bad possible mutation p53 with a complex karotype she also have the flt3 mutation and I guess it is incredibly rare to have both of those lucky we we are lucky because we live in ri which is drive distance to dana farber she is being treat by dr richard stone at dana farber give her poor prognosis and age 74 but a very healthy and active 74 before this evil disease they recommend against the 7 3 treatment we were able to get she on a trial for abt 199 venetoflax vidaza she do great on the trial for about 6 month ton of energy and pretty healthy other than controllable infection we even take she to disneyworld in september for her 75th birthday we get she a scooter and she zoom all over the place I honestly think hey we could do this all the time mom turn out her bmb in early september show that the blast were come back it was a blessing that we do not get those result before our trip to orlando she never achieve complete remission but her bmb were hover around 15 all spring and summer and she feel very good out of nowhere the blast come back with a vengance and she is have about 65 70 bone marrow blast since late september the doctor take she off the trial and we ve have two round of decitabine I was not very much in favor of the decitabine path since the vidaza have stop work well it do not seem to be do much of anything although I guess the blast are not get high they just are not go down but now she s a very sick woman it is so unbelievably hard to see my mom deteriorate she is so weak and tired and breathless and have horrible diarrhea that torment she I do not know if that is from the chemo or from the leukemia she is still live on her own and home and take care of herself but she have not drive since her hospitalization in september and I and my sister check on her frequently I am 39 year old with a husband and two little child I am fall apart some day and some day I am ok we have plan on try for another baby this was our second loss someday I have hope and think that I need to not only care for my mom but plan for my own family future other day I think god how on earth could I have a baby without my mom being there we are incredibly close we have been wait to get on a new trial call imgn 779 we were tell we were first in line but now it look like someone jump in front of she there is a spot on an other trial call ten 010 but I can not find out much at all about the result in any event the doctor are concern she may not even be eligible for a trial because of how weak she is and her heart have also start beat very very fast and so here we are I have no idea what s go to happen next have to put in god hand I know but that do not stop I from obsessively research clinical datum and medical journal until 2 am every couple night I m incredibly grateful fro the 9 month we ve have with my mom she is definitely beat the odd so far I just want and need more time my heart break that my child would not have their love grandma around my young is 3 and she probably would not even remember my mom gosh just can not stop cry tonight maybe it is the holiday well we are go to try our good to have a wonderful christmas with my mom and have her grandkid all around she as long as they do not get her sick laugh out loud were on pin and needle wait to hear about her eligibility for trial and then the big question is do we hold out and wait for the one that grab my eye imgn 779 or do we just jump on the one spot that is available with the ten 010 any advice is much appreciated and thank you all for read and share love suzanne,negative,0

from hematological malignancy in some embodiment the sample include leydig cell from testis in other embodiment the sample is blood plasma or serum from a subject meeting the diagnostic criterion of chronic fatigue syndrome xmrv presence correlate with cancer grade presence of detectable xmrv dna and or protein is correlate with the prostate cancer grade figure 5b show among 233 unselected case of prostate cancer xmrv was detect in approximately 19 of patient with a gleason score of 6 27 of those with a gleason score of 7 29 of those with a gleason score of 8 and 44 of those with a gleason score of 9 xmrv and the rnasel r462q genotype 0022 figure 8 show the presence of xmrv dna or protein do not correlate with the rnasel r462q genotype the relative frequency of rnase l r462q genotype were similar in individual with prostate cancer and in control there was no significant difference in the rnasel genotype distribution between man with prostate cancer that test positive for xmrv by either pcr or ihc more on xmrv and breast cancer 0025 figure 11 show a section from a case of breast cancer process by ihc use anti xmrv antisera malignant cell are stain brown indicate that xmrv

the method disclose herein can be use for the identification and diagnosis of any xmrv associate disease or condition such disease can include cancerous and noncancerous disease or condition such as chronic fatigue syndrome assess risk of have x associate cancer or I cfs thus disclose herein in one aspect are method of identify a subject have or at risk of have cancer or chronic fatigue syndrome also disclose herein are method of identify a subject with an aggressive form of a cancer such as prostate cancer far disclose are method of assess the aggressiveness of a cancer in a subject technique to assess aggressiveness and progression of cancer 0043 the method may also be use in conjunction with the diagnosis prognosis assess the aggressiveness of or monitor the progression of precancer condition such as cervical and anal dysplasias other dysplasias severe dysplasias hyperplasias atypical hyperplasia and neoplasia additionally the method may also be use for the in the diagnosis prognosis assess the aggressiveness of or monitor the progression of noncancerous condition associate with xmrv infection such as chronic fatigue syndrome and other neuroimmune disease technique to monitor efficacy of xmrv therapy 0048 the method disclose herein can also be use to monitor the efficacy of a treatment by monitor the anti xmrv antibody level or monitor the presence of xmrv it is possible to assess the effectiveness of a treatment for a cancer for chronic fatigue syndrome or other xmrv associate disease or condition thus in one aspect disclose herein are method of assess the efficacy of a treatment for a cancer such as prostate cancer or a non cancerous xmrv associate disease such as chronic fatigue comprise screen a sample from the subject for the presence of xmrv or antibodie that specifically bind xmrv and compare it to a pre treatment standard wherein an increase in xmrv or anti xmrv antibodie relative to the pre treatment standard is indicate that the treatment is not work and a decrease in xmrv genome sequence or anti xmrv antibodie relative to a pre treatment standard indicate a treatment is work 0065 in some embodiment the level of anti xmrv antibodie or xmrv protein or nucleic acid in a test sample is use to monitor therapy the level of anti xmrv antibodie or xmrv protein or nucleic acid before treatment can be compare to level during treatment at regular interval a reduction in xmrv protein or nucleic acid provide an objective assessment of efficacy of therapy and of patient compliance detect development of antiretroviral resistance a rise in titer follow an initial fall would suggest development of viral mutant that are resistant to antiviral therapy and would signal that a change in therapy is need compare healthy xmrv infect control with pathological state the level of anti xmrv antibodie or xmrv protein or nucleic acid may be compare to a reference value to determine if the level of xmrv biomarker are elevate or reduce relative to the reference value typically the reference value is the level xmrv biomarker measure in a comparable sample from one or more healthy individual an increase or decrease in the xmrv biomarker may be use in conjunction with clinical factor other than xmrv biomarker to diagnose a disease 0067 association between a pathological state e g cancer and the aberration of a level of xmrv can be readily determine by comparative analysis in a normal population and an abnormal or affected population thus for example one can study the level of xmrv protein or nucleic acid in both a normal population and a population affect with a particular pathological state the study result can be compare and analyze by statistical mean any detect statistically significant difference in the two population would indicate an association for example if the level of xmrv protein or nucleic acid is statistically significantly high in the affected population than in the normal population then it can be reasonably conclude that high level of xmrv protein or nucleic acid is associate with the pathological state diagnostic kit for xmrv associate condition disclose are kit for diagnose a cancer such as prostate cancer or non cancerous xmrv associate disease or condition such as chronic fatigue syndrome the kit comprise xmrv antigen anti human antibody e g anti human igg a means of detection and solid support such as for example microtiter plate e g an elisa or elispot plate meticulously address the contamination issue 0094 it was important to ensure that the assay specifically amplify xmrv sequence and not other murine or human endogenous retroviral sequence in research laboratory human tissue block are often section on the same microtome use for murine tissue and contamination with murine sample can result in non specific amplification of exogenous or endogenous murine retrovirus that are present in multiple copy in the mouse genome and have high sequence similarity to xmrv figure 2a systematic scanning of the xmrv genome identify a region of the putative gag gene that was 100 conserve between all publish xmrv clone total of 3 and yet share at most 80 similarity with the most closely relate 11 murine retroviral sequence figure 2a primer and probe in this region allow efficient detection of xmrv without interference from related murine retroviral sequence ensure specificity to rule out detection of murine endogenous retrovirus to test for amplification of murine ervs genomic dna of a c57bl 6 mouse was use as template to rule out amplification of human ervs or other human sequence relate to xmrv commercially available human placental dna was use as template also mouse dna was mix with human placental dna at different ratio no amplification product was observe in any of the reaction show that the qpcr assay was highly specific for xmrv odd of find xmrv in prostate cancer the odd for xmrv being detect in prostate tissue from man with prostate cancer was more than 5 time high than those for xmrv being present in tissue sample from man without prostate cancer or 5 7 p 0 001 a correlation of xmrv with cancer is also support by the fact that xmrv protein was identify predominantly in malignant epithelial cell 25 of breast cancer contain xmrv 178 case of breast cancer were examine for the presence of xmrv use the describe method approximately 25 of breast cancer contain either xmrv proviral dna sequences or xmrv protein the xmrv protein were see exclusively in the malignant breast epithelium figure 11 why the discrepant association of rnasel r462q polymorphism with prostate cancer 0116 no association of xmrv with the rnasel r462q polymorphism was observe the initial identification of xmrv was base on the observation that individual homozygous for the common rnasel r462q polymorphism have a high risk for develop prostate cancer it have been hypothesize that a homozygous carrier of this polymorphism may be more susceptible to persistent viral infection which in turn may increase their risk for prostate cancer base on this observation prostate cancer tissue from individual homozygous for the rnasel r462q polymorphism were screen for the presence of viral nucleic acid urisman a et al 2006 a strong association of detectable xmrv rna and the rnasel r462q genotype were report all individual in this study were genotype and observe no association of he presence of xmrv dna or protein with the rnasel r462q genotype there are several difference between the initial and the study that might account for these difference first prostate cancer tissue were test for the presence of xmrv dna and protein while urisman et al test for viral rna it is conceivable that the reduce activity variant of rnase l have a more significant effect on the level of xmrv rna transcript and genome than on pro viral dna and pre integrate cdna in infect tissue in the initial study a nest retweet pcr was use for the detection of xmrv rna while a qpcr assay was use to detect xmrv dna the result of both study indicate that the viral load of xmrv in the test tissue is low the chance of detect xmrv rna may therefore simply be great in individual that are homozygous for the reduce activity variant of rnase l if level of viral rna transcript and genome are more affect by the rnasel r462q polymorphism than level of xmrv dna or protein the mode of xmrv detection may determine whether an association is identify or not secondly a different study population was use the strength of the association of xmrv with the rnasel genotype may vary from population to population dependent on the prevalence of xmrv and the relative genotype distribution in the study population or another gene near the rnasel locus and not rnasel itself may be link to prostate cancer radical prostatectomy vs transurethral procedure how this affect prostate control tissue result correlation of xmrv with prostate cancer availability of suitable control tissue from man without prostate cancer is a limit factor for the study of a possible association of xmrv with prostate cancer in this retrospective study prostate tissue remove by transurethral resection of the prostate was use for reason other than prostate cancer as control tissue there are several limitation to the comparability of this tissue to prostate tissue remove by radical prostatectomy for treatment of prostate cancer during the transurethral procedure tissue is resect with an electric knife cause cautery artifact in the collect tissue chip in addition tissue is predominantly remove from the transition zone however prostate cancer most commonly arise in the peripheral zone as discuss above detection of xmrv protein by ihc provide more reliable prevalence estimate xmrv protein was detect in 23 of prostate cancer case and in 4 of control tissue these initial finding indicate that xmrv is associate with prostate cancer when use tissue remove by transurethral resection as control xmrv play a role in prostate cancer development or progression xmrv was identify in up to 23 of prostate cancer tissue and localize xmrv protein almost exclusively to neoplastic epithelial cell this latter finding indicate that xmrv play a role in cancer development or progression through one of the several direct mechanism that have been well characterized for know oncogenic retrovirus about possible sexual transmission 0126 detection of xmrv sequences in ce rvical fluid it is still unknown by which route xmrv infect people relate retrovirus spread through transfer of blood or body fluid from an infected person to a healthy person the ability to detect xmrv in cervical fluid as describe here have allow for determine a possible route of spread of virus include spread from mother to infant during childbirth and have important implication for public health furthermore detection of xmrv in cervical fluid offer a non invasive method to detect xmrv more control result in the 5 10 range the plot thicken and the that is thin especially for the contamination advocate xmrv sequence by pcr were find in approximately 5 10 of sample from woman on whom a test to detect other virus such as human papilloma virus or herpe simplex virus have been order xmrv in semen the ability to detect xmrv in semen is also important to determine possible route of xmrv transmission xmrv dna or rna was find in approximately 7 of all sample test indicate that xmrv is present in semen obtain from otherwise healthy man who are not know to have prostate cancer or chronic fatigue syndrome or other xmrv associate condition this finding have important implication for viral spread and test for detection of xmrv in seman have an application in testing donor semen sample use in fertility clinic xmrv in chronic fatigue syndrome preliminary result 0134 similarly to detect if patient with chronic fatigue syndrome have evidence of xmrv infection we collect sera from 105 patient diagnose as have chronic fatigue syndrome and fulfil the fukuda criterion for diagnosis for comparison we also collect sera from 200 healthy volunteer each of these sera was use to probe a pvdf membrane onto which xmrv protein have been transfer from a gel a positive sample usually contain antibodie reactive to at least two of the follow three xmrv polypeptide su ca and pi 5e see figure 13a non reactive sample most healthy volunteer do not contain antibody to su or pl5e figure 13b in conclusion this is big,neutral,1

this is a fairly long but excellent overview of the presentation on xmrv give at the recent chronic fatigue syndrome advisory committee meeting hold in washington d c video of which can be see here http www hhs gov advcomcfs 2 day agenda dr peterson presentation is early on day 1 it is really neat http www hhs gov advcomcfs meetings agendas cfsac091029_agenda html xmrv in the spotlight by cort on november 5 2009 http aboutmecfs org blog p 1048 xmrv was next up at the mike at the cfsac meeting first dr peterson go over the publish research one more time hear it again simply reinforce what an extraordinary discovery xmrv may be his presentation was in some way though really just a prelude to dr coffins presentation the co author of the major text in the field dr coffin represent the upper tier of world class researcher that we ve been want to attract for so many year he was basically our tough test case if he was excited about this virus then everyone in his field is good science he was excite there have been some question about the demographic side of the study but the science side was well than we patient could tell annette whittemore say that the science paper do not get easily science want the virus story but not the cfs part of it after the wpi dig in their heel and say you re not go to get one without the other science make they jump through hoop after hoop their ability to do what they do surprised alot of people this is a remarkable finding everybody recognize this is potentially of extraordinary importance dr john coffin a remarkable finding the prostate cancer association with xmrv interest the field in the virus the science paper apparently blow the lid off of it already the wpi and nci and cleveland clinic researcher have accomplish something that its very difficult even now to do in hiv which is target the virus in the plasma apparently its not difficult to find hiv in cell but its still very difficult to actually capture it in plasma the fact they were able to isolate a virally infect cell and put it next to a prostate cancer cell and watch the virus infect the prostate cancer cell was a huge win for they the fact that dr peterson was able to thaw out some sample that have been freeze for 25 year and then grow virus out of they apparently just blow the virologist mind when they look for it in the activate immune cell they find it in a very high percentage of they which suggest an active infection immune cell become activate basically put themselves into overdrive once they encounter a pathogen they ve also been able to induce the virus to grow in a number of cell line prostate cell b and t cell none of these step should be take for grant get a pathogen to grow in cell line is a very important step in study it not only can you grow alot of virus when you do that but you can study the virus intimately its often however difficult to put virus in a test tube and get they to actually grow in cell line for instance decade later hepatitis c virologist have still never isolate the hepatitis c virus they sequence its genome instead and have never been able to grow it in a culture because of this essential element of its biology have escape they vipdx begin offer a culture test for xmrv a week ago the bad virus on the block nobody know what effect xmrv do or do not have but its clear that the family of retrovirus it belong to is a nasty one these gamma retrovirus are know to cause a slue of cancer in animal include lymphoma aka incline village and leukemia this is part of what s fascinating to researcher about the virus could it set the stage for all sort of cancer annette whittemore say breast leukemia lymphoma and so on researcher are all go to take their shot at this virus over the next couple of year its possible this virus shoot from near obscurity to being very well understand in the scientific community not hiv xmrv is about as different from hiv as a retrovirus can be in several way xmrv do not appear to replicate rapidly which mean it have a low mutation rate and suggest it might be relatively easy to create a vaccine for but also give researcher less of a window on the treatment end to knock it down the potential pathogenecity of the this virus should not be underestimate dr john coffin treatment its unclear whether hiv drug are go to work the wpi is reportedly test they and antiviral include ampligen in the lab interestingly azt which have been sit on the shelf for 20 year before the hiv epidemic hit was develop against a gamma retrovirus like xmrv even more interesting the drug developer apparently have a good number of anti retroviral drug sit on the shelf that do not appear to work well enough against hiv but could find some promise with xmrv vaccine yes treatment it may not be easy though dr coffin reiterate the fact that the virus remarkable genetic similarity from person to person even between people locate across the country mean that chance for find a vaccine were pretty good and in fact one have been develop for a similar virus the low replication rate however apparently make it more difficult to target treatment against this bug different hiv treatment target different stage of its replication process genetic diversity is essentially a function of replication the more a virus replicate the more small change in its dna accumulate the fact that genetic diversity is so low in this bug suggest that it is not replicate very much it could also suggest that a contaminant get into the sample but the researcher appear to have discard this scenario in key way hiv is the exact opposite of xmrv it replicate rapidly and demonstrate high rate of genetic variability dr coffin note that the hiv virus will mutate more simply live in a person body over several month than xmrv have between people live different part of the country what we have with hiv of course are alot of treatment option 30 drug and despite year of enormous effort and money almost zero advance on the vaccine front hopefully the opposite scenario will not prove true with xmrv dr coffin report some antiretroviral were prove effective at least in the lab against the virus ampligen was reportedly work in at least some patient cell translate the result from the lab to an actual patient is often difficult to do however do low replication mean little or no disease not necessarily a virus do not need to replicate in order to effect the body it simply need to be alive and pump out injurious protein the idea of a kind of smolder infection with low replication rate have catch on in some part of the research community dr glazer have for instance identify enzyme produce by ebv that can cause a number of negative effect add to that the fact that a large percentage of I cfs patient t cell are typically activate turn on by a pathogen and then throw in dr coffins statement that a large percentage of activate cell carry the virus and you get the picture of a virus that may be very prevalent in the body that is it might not need high level of replication to do its work that is have many people come up to I and ask how I can get involve dr john coffin xmrv and I cf how to explain the high apparent rate of infection in the me cfs patient but not the healthy control dr coffin think of three main possibility 1 the patient happen to live in area where outbreak of this virus have occur 2 they have an immune system defect that leave they particularly vulnerable to the virus 3 the virus actually infect everybody but is just easy to find is more active in people chronic fatigue syndrome the opportunistic virus theory those unhealthy healthy control the feds are many time more concerned about the 4 of the health control that test positive for xmrv than the 67 of the sick I cfs patient who do if these healthy control were close contact of the xmrv positive patient we would expect that number to go down but they were not they were take from the broad population expect that 4 figure to stay strong and research money to keep pour into this virus no matter what happen with chronic fatigue syndrome some answer there are alot of question but one important one how widespread is this virus in I cfs and what type of patient carry it should be answer soon dr bateman and dr klimas and other have their blood sample line up and ready to be test dr bateman stated shell be share her result as they come out there have to co factor dr peterson no simple answer even after we learn just how widespread this virus is the situation will remain complex since we know that many people can carry this virus and still remain healthy its clear that the virus is go to need at least one partner to work with in order to wreak its damage what that other essential element is is of course unclear the viruss cortisol receptor indicate that it react in some way to cortisol high cortisol level could concievably trigger its activation but I cfs patient at least in the later stage of their disease are know to have low cortisol level could the opposite be true could high cortisol level send it into hibernation and low cortisol level leave it in an activate state the money we ve see that the traditional source of I cfs research in the federal government the orwh and the cdcs cfs program have been leave by the wayside the research money for this virus is come from other source the retrovirologist want in when something this potentially big come on the scene they find way they shift fund around at their lab they drop projectsthey basically do what they have to do to get their foot in the door the cdcs hiv team start their xmrv project the day after the science paper come out the wpi the cfids association basically anyone with blood sample is get with request some of they from world renowned resesarcher the cfid association require their investigator to bank sample for future study there are pocket of money at the nih that can be tap dr john coffin the researcher will pretty quickly have to tap traditional funding source though which historically have been a problem every cfs grant to my knowledge automatically go to the cfs grant review board often a death trap for I cfs grant these review panel typically have been top load with pain and dental researcher and rarely have reviewer with immune expertise the expertise of the review panel is suppose to match the type of grant before they will they this time only time will tell do it right interestingly everyone the nci the cdc the blood researcher are develop their own test dr miller explain that you can set up a pcr test for a virus almost overnight pcr test simply screen for select bit of dna in a virus the problem come when the different lab choose slightly different section of dna to test or prepare the reagent the virus come in differently one reagent can be far well at uncover the virus than another the dr coffin state that agree on the right test a validate standardized assay for xmrv was the critical issue face the field he hope that will be do in six month the other stuff its go to take year and year to figure out how this virus if it is prove to be a or even the major factor in I cfs create its effect meanwhile research into its downstream effect of it the low blood volume the gastrointestinal problem the immune hpa axis and autonomic nervous system problem and so on will remain vital people with aid do not die of hiv they die of opportunistic infection that show up in hivs wake and thirty year later researcher are still try to figure out how to deal with the downstream effect of have a retroviral infection if xmrv turn out to be it the same will most likely be true for I cfs dr coffin was wanda jones catch she call he the day before and get he in there wanda jones is prove her worth in different way every meeting there was the first webcast then the upgrade webcast the increase organization the more expansive website dr coffin she s stick her neck out at time 3 camera this time and we were in lobby of the building hence her big smile at the high rate of participation good for the caa for push for she to come on board,neutral,1
my ex fiance and I go through a very nasty breakup when I was 7 month pregnant he is bipolar I and alcoholic and it all seem to get bad the big my belly get his weekend drinking turn into every night go to the store for more and then pass out and it really explode when I hit my 3rd trimester and the morning sickness come back full force I could barely eat and have horrible ligament pain I am a small girl he become obsessed with my eating habit accuse I of starve myself take ex lax say the baby who have always been active and kick really hard was try to get out of I because I was not take care of myself crazy delusional stuff from someone who constantly tell I what a good mom I was go to be and how proud he was of I for quit all my bad habit cold turkey and eat healthy my sister lose her son to leukemia so I take this pregnancy very seriously from the start and he always know that but in a matter of a week he totally turn on I and accuse I of some horrible thing long story short I tell he if he do not slow down drinking and get help for his mania I was go to leave and go to my parent that I would not have my baby around an alcoholic his own father is a very bad alcoholic who never leave the couch but he never acknowledge the reason I was leave and to this day just tell everyone she leave I we have been through alot and have way bad argument I do not really think he would be ok with I leave I was hope it would show he I was serious and he would stop drink so much as in his sober rational moment he admit to I that he was indeed drink too much and would do well while I was go he go completely manic do some very bizarre stuff he stop sleep and eat and become extremely manic do not go to work for day talk to himself call people he have not have contact with for year many disturb thing that are not the man I fall in love with I call he and tell he I want to work thing out for our baby that our family mean more than anything to I and that I love he he just go into a drunken rage and tell I not to come home that I was not welcome he would not answer any of my text beg he to talk to I so we could work thing out and get he some help I finally have enough of his silence and a friend even tell I he admit to hire a prostitute after I leave and go back to the house we share only for he to leave without so much as look at I the house have been wreck and he have obviously have girlfriend over there was condom wrapper on the couch and lexi have write all over the calendar and erase my due date I was so devastated I hope I never go through pain like that again I pack all my stuff I could drove offf and have not look back I call he as I was leave the house for good and he was at a bar with loud music and put a woman on the phone I hang up that was the last time I call he he send I ugly text message for week but I never respond I was a whore a sociopath a crack head an unbelievable list of insult and accusation its been about two month now he is lose his job and is live with his mom again he was a very successful mechanical engineer before all this he blow the 3000 we have save up for baby in about 3 day but would never tell I what he spend it on we have an extremely loving affectionate relationship and he was so excited about this baby and very intent on being a provider we decide I would be a sahm but now he have completely abandon all responsibility and when I do decide to finally reply to he about a week ago ask if he could send any money at all to help with diaper as thing are very tight for I and I can not get a job at 9 mo pregnant he inform I he have his own bill to pay and he do not even know if the baby was his which is crazy he never ever deny he before and we were always together this was after I send he picture of my ultrasound which I think was being very very nice consider what he have put I through now he is want to know if he will get a phone call when the baby is bear he know my phone is off because I can not pay it right now and my car insurance as well but he have yet to help or send money and he do not know where I am live because I simply do not trust he should I call he when the baby get here should I let he know anything I try to involve he but after I send the pic he start talk about how he love and care about I and the baby I do not want to hear that because he would not have do what he do I tell he I was a single mom now and we need to keep thing businesslike between we he do not like that too much and tell I I only care about money that would just get a lawyer I send he a small piece of mind and he just come back with the so do I even get a phone call when he is bear how should I let he know our son have been bear should I just not involve he at all at this point his mood are so unstable and I know he is drink all the time I really do not want to talk to he at all it just stress I out and make I cry because I love he so much but legally do it look bad if I do not notify he my phone is turn off after all because this man abandon I at 7 month pregnant I will be seek child support as I was not prepare financially to raise this baby alone what step do I take from here thank you so much for read,negative,0
long but you will be glad you read it santa prayer three year ago a little boy and his grandmother come to see santa at mayfair mall in wisconsin the child climb up on his lap hold a picture of a little girl who is this ask santa smile your friend your sister yes santa he reply my sister sarah who is very sick he say sadly santa glance over at the grandmother who was wait nearby and see she dab her eye with a tissue she want to come with I to see you oh so very much santa the child exclaim she miss you he add softly santa try to be cheerful and encourage a smile to the boy face ask he what he want santa to bring he for christmas when they finish their visit the grandmother come over to help the child off his lap and start to say something to santa but halt what is it santa ask warmly well I know it is really too much to ask you santa but the old woman begin shoo her grandson over to one of santas elf to collect the little gift which santa give all his young visitor the girl in the photograph my granddaughter well you see she have leukemia and is not expect to make it even through the holiday she say through tear fill eye is there any way santa any possible way that you could come see sarah that is all she is ask for for christmas is to see santa santa blink and swallow hard and tell the woman to leave information with his elf as to where sarah was and he would see what he could do santa thought of little else the rest of that afternoon he know what he have to do what if it were my child lie in that hospital bed die he think with a sink heart this is the least I can do when santa finish visit with all the boy and girl that evening he retrieve from his helper the name of the hospital where sarah was stay he ask the assistant location manager how to get to children hospital why rick ask with a puzzled look on his face santa relay to he the conversation with sarahs grandmother early that day cmon I will take you there rick say softly rick drive they to the hospital and come inside with santa they find out which room sarah was in a pale rick say he would wait out in the hall santa quietly peek into the room through the half closed door and see little sarah on the bed the room was full of what appear to be her family there was the grandmother and the girl brother he have meet early that day a woman whom he guess was sarahs mother stand by the bed gently push sarahs thin hair off her forehead and another woman who he discover later was sarahs aunt sit in a chair near the bed with weary sad look on her face they were talk quietly and santa could sense the warmth and closeness of the family and their love and concern for sarah take a deep breath and force a smile on his face santa enter the room bellow a hearty ho ho ho santa shriek little sarah weakly as she try to escape her bed to run to he iv tube in tact santa rush to her side and give she a warm hug a child the tender age of his own son 9 year old gaze up at he with wonder and excitement her skin was pale and her short tress bear telltale bald patch from the effect of chemotherapy but all he see when he look at she was a pair of huge blue eye his heart melt and he have to force himself to choke back tear though his eye were rivet upon sarahs face he could hear the gasp and quiet sobbing of the woman in the room as he and sarah begin talk the family creep quietly to the bedside one by one squeeze santas shoulder or his hand gratefully whisper thank you as they gaze sincerely at he with shine eye santa and sarah talk and talk and she tell he excitedly all the toy she want for christmas assure he she would been a very good girl that year as their tim e together dwindle santa feel lead in his spirit to pray for sarah and ask for permission from the girl mother she nod in agreement and the entire family circle around sarahs bed hold hand santa look intensely at sarah and ask she if she believe in angel oh yes santa I do she exclaim well I am go to ask that angel watch over you he say lay one hand on the child head santa close his eye and pray he ask that god touch little sarah and heal her body from this disease he ask that angel minister to her watch and keep she and when he finish pray still with eye close he start singe softly silent night holy night all is calm all is bright the family join in still hold hand smile at sarah and cry tear of hope tear of joy for this moment as sarah beam at they all when the song end santa sit on the side of the bed again and hold sarahs frail small hand in his own now sarah he say authoritatively you have a job to do and that is to concentrate on get well I want you to have fun playing with your friend this summer and I expect to see you at my house at mayfair mall this time next year he know it was risky proclaim that to this little girl who have terminal cancer but he have to he have to give she the great gift he could not doll or game or toy but the gift of hope yes santa sarah exclaim her eye bright he lean down and kiss she on the forehead and leave the room out in the hall the minute santas eye meet rick a look pass between they and they weep unashamed sarahs mother and grandmother slip out of the room quickly and rush to santas side to thank he my only child is the same age as sarah he explain quietly this is the least I could do they nod with understanding and hug he one year later santa mark was again back on the set in milwaukee for his six week seasonal job which he so love to do several week go by and then one day a child come up to sit on his lap hi santa remember I of course I do santa proclaim as he always do smile down at she after all the secret to being a good santa is to always make each child feel as if they are the only child in the world at that moment you come to see I in the hospital last year santas jaw drop tear immediately spring in his eye and he grab this little miracle and hold she to his chest sarah he exclaim he scarcely recognize she for her

live it is your gift to god yourself and love one may god bless you,neutral,1
source genomeweb date january 5 2012 author ben butkus url http www genomeweb com pcrsample prep cdc team find widespread murine virus mouse dna contamination commercial pcr re cdc team find widespread murine virus mouse dna contamination in commercial pcr reagent in recent month several independent research group have find that the continue discovery in human genetic sample of sequence from murine leukemia virus and relate infectious agent is most likely a result of contaminated commercial pcr reagent and not as originally think a case of the virus infect human now a group from the us center for disease control and prevention have publish evidence show that commercial retweet pcr reagent and even human dna preparation from several life science vendor contain mlv or mouse dna suggest that the extent of this contamination may be much large than anyone have previously think as such the scientist believe that their finding underscore the need for laboratory to carefully pre screen commercial molecular diagnostic reagent and nucleic acid specimen to ensure they are not contaminate with foreign dna and to avoid potential false positive pcr result when test human clinical specimen if people are test human for these kind of virus or any virus really they need to pre screen their reagent first and make sure that they do not have some kind of external source of contamination william switzer a cdc scientist and lead author of the recent study tell pcr insider this week since 2006 when scientist first discover a new gammaretrovirus call xenotropic mlv related virus or xmrv and report the presence of xmrv sequence in sample from patient with chronic fatigue syndrome or prostate cancer the scientific community have systematically debunk the link by show that the appearance of the mlv like sequence was likely due to commercial reverse transcriptase contaminate with the mouse virus dna pcr insider 12 22 11 a few of these contrary report even demonstrate contamination in specific life science research tool such as platinum taq from life technologys invitrogen business and nucleic acid extraction column from qiagen in the meantime switzer and colleague in the laboratory branch of the cdcs hiv aids prevention division who were part of the blood xmrv scientific research working group organize in december 2009 to scrutinize the purport link between xmrv and human disease frequently detect low level of mlv and xmrv like protease sequence in control sample or negative blood donor plasma use a qrt pcr assay employ the agpath one step retweet pcr kit also sell by life technology suspect contamination of the retweet pcr kit with trace amount of residual mlv like plasmid sequence the group decide to far test different agpath kit from different lot as well as water only control sample for the presence of mlv xmrv sequences as detail in their research paper publish last month in plos one they find low level of the mouse virus sequence in seven of 16 replicate of a new previously unopened agpath kit but find no sequence in the water only sample to far investigate the breadth of this contamination switzer and colleague then test several other commercial retweet enzyme and kit from multiple manufacturer use mlv and xmrv retweet pcr test develop in their cdc laboratory as with the agpath kit the researcher discover low level of either protease or polymerase sequence from mlv xmrv in five other commercial kit the taqman 1 step master mix and taqman rna to ct kit from life tech apply biosystem business the brilliant ii qrt pcr master mix from agilent the transcriptor 1 step retweet pcr kit from roche and the robust I retweet pcr kit from thermo fisher finnzyme business even more surprising accord to switzer was the fact the reverse transcriptase find in some of the contaminated kit were know to be derive from a completely unrelated virus avian myeloblastosis virus we find contamination in enzyme that were prepare from mlv expression vector which was not that surprising switzer say but what was surprising was when we decide to check out avian myeloblastosis virus derive recombinant rt and find the same level of contamination of mlv sequence in some of those maybe these company produce both amv and mlv derive rt and do it in large bioreactor or there are source of contamination in their facility where they grow it in extremely large quantity it is very hard to get rid of this contamination far the cdc researcher discover that several different commercially available human dna sell by sigma aldrich and biochain and use for negative control in their pcr assay were contaminate with mouse dna some with very high level of mouse dna say switzer we contact biochain and tell they about it and they independently confirm those result and go back to their production line and change some thing to try and reduce and eliminate the contamination switzer say we find that they do a good job of that but there was still trace amount of contamination in the new dna preparation that they send we since publish their plo one paper the cdc researcher have also discover commercial reverse transcriptase express plasmid that were generate from hiv sequences switzer say raise the specter that this type of unexpected contamination may even go beyond mlv xmrv and have the potential to cause false positive in hiv study an idea that the group is currently examine more closely it is been an eye opener switzer say when we first read some of these paper link xmrv with cfs or prostate cancer we were think either that this is real or it is contamination on a scale that is never been report in science before and the latter scenario seem to be what have happen switzer far hypothesize that mouse are use in a variety of experiment around the world in many laboratory people work with mouse and human cell line in the same facility and laboratory apparently there have been so much research do on mlv and people have use they to develop other tool like retweet express plasmid that it is just everywhere if this is the case and evidence continue to mount suggest that it is the researcher believe that all laboratory use qrt pcr to detect the presence of sequence from mlv xmrv or possibly any virus in human sample may need to rigorously screen all diagnostic reagent and specimen for potential contamination if you get these kind of unexpected finding like people originally report you really have to go back and do all the necessary quality control experiment to make sure you re absolutely right before you stick your neck out there and publish these kind of result that get refute and then end up retract those paper switzer say c 2012 genomeweb llc send post to co cure listserv nodak edu

the medcottage original intention was to allow family to care for age relative on their property but they can also be use for people with illness if a lyme patient relative could afford to purchase or rent one it could be a low income alternative for housing and relative can virtually monitor medicine usage and make sure the patient is not on the floor the lyme patient could still have a sense of autonomy just a thought http www roanoke com news roanoke welcome back 254181 a salem pastor idea for home care in a portable modular backyard unit is come to fruition with a prototype now on display and investor line up by sarah bruyn jones 981 3264 photo by sam dean the roanoke times builder bret berneche ceo of cardinal home put some finish touch on the medcottage prototype the medcottage have several monitoring system that track air quality vital sign motion and other datum all of which can be view via an online account the prototype medcottage produce by n2care in salem sit on display recently on the campus of hollin university the product is intend to accommodate family member in need of care while keep they close to home an idea to build a modular medical home that could be place in a caregiver back yard could be on the market by january salem base n2care the company responsible for invent the medcottage reveal its prototype for the specially equip portable house monday at the roanoke civic center medcottage would retail for between 65 000 and 75 000 at first with about 100 being make in 2011 n2care eventually plan to make the home available for lease at about 1 500 to 2 000 a month n2care plan to be profitable within three to six month of hit the market investor along with other supporter and medium tour the medcottage as n2care tout its invention as the way to meet the health care need of age baby boomer without have to rely on nursing home but the unit could be use by any person want some independence but in need of home medical care the prototype was dedicate to a 9 year old boy jason terpenny who die a decade ago from a virus after get leukemia the 12 by 24 foot home is the brainchild of the rev kenneth dupin pastor of salem wesleyan church who first think of the idea about four year ago I feel like this is as much a ministry as anything else I do dupin say n2care have quickly evolve from a company with an idea and no money into one that have lot of backing even before the prototype was reveal monday n2care and the medcottage have cause a lot of buzz during the past few month recent national attention have come from the washington post aarp and cbs the attention have spread globally and the business have field international inquiry dupin say after the post publish an article in may every little old lady in the world call we ask for one since dream up the concept dupin have assemble a team that include an engineer from virginia tech the ceo of a modular home manufacture company and several other with expertise in the hospice and home health care arenas n2care form in december 2008 and in august 2009 the privately hold limited liability company go public with the medcottage concept in april gov bob mcdonnell sign a bill into law allow structure like the medcottage to be place in back yard without special use permit typically require in zone ordinance the law take effect july 1 bret berneche is responsible for manufacture the medcottage he is a member of n2care leadership team but he is also the president and ceo of cardinal homes inc a manufacturer of modular home in wylliesburg in charlotte county he form an affiliate of cardinal home mc manufacture inc for the sole purpose of manufacturing medcottage it was berneche relationship that secure the money need to build the prototype the charlotte county industrial development authority and the tobacco indemnification and community revitalization commission each contribute 50 000 to the development of the first medcottage the prototype is technically being lease by the ida to n2care for two year at no cost say susan conn director of operation for n2care charlotte county provide the financial backing because it have a strong working relationship with berneche and believe in the product say larry dunn a member of the ida board economically it just make sense to try and help the company that have help our county so much dunn say investor have start to financially support the effort currently n2care have about 20 investor say conn but she would not say how much money have been raise however conn say the company need about 3 million to support the startup the medcottage include feature such as a pressurized ventilation system similar to those find in hospital intensive care unit it also have a video system that monitor the floor at ankle level so a caregiver will know if a patient fall another system dispense medicine at the proper time and dosage it even alert a caregiver if the patient do not take the medicine out of the system the medcottage is still in its infancy with many improvement being plan dupin say next the prototype will be take to virginia tech where several project are being plan to study and possibly improve on the model say janis terpenny a tech system engineering professor and a member of the n2care team she is also jason mother frankly I think it could be configure to whatever the need are of the person terpenny say study are being plan in both the college of engineering and the center for gerontology terpenny say,neutral,1
well I am new to this support group and my story is fairly long but I will try to keep it concise my name is lottie I am 25 year old marry to nate for a little over 3 year and we have a 17 month old daughter kaya just about 2 year ago when I was 12 week pregnant nate was diagnose with acute leukemia at the time we were very excited to be expect he have lobby I to get pregnant for quite some time and the doagnosis was shocking and devastating he get into remission and get something call a bone marrow transplant in march 2011 I have kaya in july 2011 nate was ready to return to work in september 2011 sept 12 to be exact he was go back part time and was really excited about it then on the 20th of that month his father die suddenly and unexpectedly at the age of 45 nate have never been close to his father but his death send he into a downward spiral that he is been on for 14 month now after his dad die nate start abuse his medication he was prescribe oxycontin for legitimate cancer relate pain and start pop they like candy I try hide they around the house keep they with I and so on he always find they suddenly nate also decide he hate his job he was miss a lot of work he was sad all the time he end up being hospitalize in december 2011 because of suicidal thought and he lose his job because he do not have any leave leave anyways while he was in by the way his psychiatrist is at mass general in boston which is where he was inpatient they switch he from celexa to paxil fastforward to january 1st and nate have his first of many psychotic break he just snap he fly into a rage he say he hate I and never love I he say he do not care about our daughter and do not love she he say he wish he and I have never meet and that I was the cause of all his problem he leave the house go out and start smoke cigarette big no no because of his cancer he go to his brother to get drunk another no no because of his med he call around midnight to say he was sorry and was come home over the next 4 month he have weekly outburst like that always anger direct towards I always pack his bag to leave always smoke cigarette or marijuana and then always come home he was put back on celexa and they add zyprexa an anti psychotic needless to say my patience was wear thin I was try to be a good mother to my beautiful little girl and try to be a caregiver to my very mentally ill husband while withstand the verbal and emotional lashing that his moodswing produce he was eventually switch to ability from the zyprexa because he gain 50 pound but that do not really make a difference his doctor know I was at a break point finally in may nate start electro convulsive therapy or ect it is where they knock he out and electrocute his brain to induce a seizure he have it 3 time a week for a month then once a week then 1 every other week and so on until september it do wonder for his depression he was also switch to effexor because it was obvious the celexa was do nothing when he stop he start a job sell car he is not a salesman type but it was all he could find he quit 4 week after start in mid november this year say he could feel it come back as in his depression within hour he was freak out again yell say he want a divorce pack up and leave only to come home again we are financially in dire straight because he quit so my anxiety level are high and I look for job for he every day he refuse to look for himself will not make any phone call and skip various interview we have make the decision for I to be a stay at home mom so I also have no job my conundrum though is that nate is incapable of being trust to watch kaya all day so if I get a job she need to go to daycare so now for the past week he just stay in bed like 20 hour a day he is in there now so another part of all this is my frustration with he as a father he have tell I straight up that he do not like being a father nate will not feed her dress she bathe her read to her play with she put she to sleep or babysit for short period if I need to run an errand nothing he will not get up with she in the morning ever it is like he hate she he will be sit on the couch and she will walk up to he and smile and try to engage he and he will not even look at she this is nothing new though even the ect do not help with that so that is where I am at I do not know what to do I do not want kaya to grow up think it is okay for a man to treat she the way I am being treat but at the same time I do not want to abandon a man who is so obviouslly mentally ill at what point should I put myself before he is there anything I can do to try to get he back to the man I know is it time to move on I am just so tired,negative,0

http www ajc com health content share 30613 html new compound shrink skin cancer wednesday sept 2 healthday news an experimental cancer drug that switch off the so call hedgehog pathway beat back tumor in more than half of patient with advanced basal cell carcinoma a type of skin cancer the drug also help a 26 year old man suffer from medulloblastoma the most common form of brain cancer in child we were both pleased and surprised we have hope that we might see response like this but we in no way anticipate that within the context of a phase 1 clinical trial we would see this level of anti tumor activity say dr charles m rudin who author two paper on the finding that appear in the sept 2 online edition of the new england journal of medicine these are the first report in the literature of any hedgehog inhibitor being use clinically phase 1 trial are conduct to look at a drug safety profile and determine the right dose phase 2 and phase 3 trial typically look at effectiveness also exciting however is the fact that the hedgehog pathway have been implicate in other cancer notably colon cancer and ovarian cancer albeit in a different way researcher are go forward to look at the potential of the molecule know as gdc 0449 to treat these type of cancer as a one drug regiman and in combination with other drug for other solid tumor malignancy say rudin who is associate director for clinical research at the sidney kimmel comprehensive cancer center at johns hopkins university in baltimore one expert note that find a compound that might control the hedgehog pathway could have far reach implication these are phase 1 trial so they are quite preliminary but the drug is quite effective in at least a subset of the patient treat say dr andrzej dlugosz author of an accompany editorial and a professor in the department of dermatology at the university of michigan medical school and comprehensive cancer center in ann arbor the reason were so excited is that there are now a large number of cancer that have also been link to abnormality in this pathway include pancreatic colon ovarian and prostate it is quite an impressive list the datum is pretty strong suggest that if you shut down the pathway it can have a pretty profound effect on those tumor cell if it can work in these cancer maybe it can work in other cancer even though the signal there is more complex but another researcher warn that it is premature to get too excited about the result it is great to see something with so much potential but it really is potential say dr clifford perlis director of mohs micrographic surgery and dermatologic surgery at fox chase cancer center in philadelphia however he add there are other company develop hedgehog inhibitor as well so I think people should be pay attention to this the hedgehog gene so name because it was first discover in fly with hair resemble the spike of hedgehog is really important during early embryonic development in pretty much all animal specie from fly to mouse to human and for pretty much every tissue you can imagine explain frederic de sauvage also an author on both paper but remarkably in adult it seem to be mostly turn off de sauvage is vice president of research molecular biology at genentech which develop the molecule and fund the study some 1 million americans get basal cell carcinoma each year it often do not spread but once it have there are no approve treatment medulloblastoma is an aggressive form of brain tumor the first trial enrol 33 individual whose basal cell carcinoma have spread locally or to distant organ half of the participant who have distant metastasis see a reduction in tumor size as do 60 percent of those with locally advanced cancer the rest have either stable or progressive disease after 10 month of follow up but stable in this population may not mean much perlis point out as it is generally a very slow grow cancer the man with medulloblastoma also see a significant shrinkage of his tumor along with vastly improved quality of life but only for two month he later die a third study by some of the same author this one publish online sept 2 in science express discover that treatment with gdc 0449 actually spur another mutation in a gene call smo which cause the brain tumor to become resistant to the drug because the hedgehog pathway do not actually do much in adult side effect were minimal say de sauvage gdc 0449 would likely be use very differently depend on which type of cancer it is target in the case of basal cell carcinoma and medulloblastoma the mutation in the hedgehog pathway really drive the formation of these tumor de sauvage say this molecule inhibit the pathway very specifically and to date we only know of these two type of tumor where the pathway is mutate that mean gdc 0449 is effective on its own but in colon and ovarian cancer he continue the pathway recruit surround cell to promote the cancer in these type of tumor gdc 0449 would have to be combine with other drug more information the american academy of dermatology have more on basal cell carcinoma,neutral,1

the human body is make up of hundred of different type of cell all of which behave differently a cell in the kidney although it contain the same genetic information as a brain cell perform a completely separate role cancer happen when a tiny part of the cell mechanism go wrong and just as there are hundred of type of cell there are hundred of type of cancer none of which can be treat in the same way every cell life is map out in advance by code instruction call gene hold in its nucleus these tell it how to behave when to reproduce by divide and when to die when the instruction relate to reproduction and dying are wrong the cell may start divide uncontrollably and not die off in addition the cancer may not follow the usual instruction that keep cell space out properly every time the cell divide the bad instruction is reproduce so the out of control reproduction carry on as the cell are being make much more often than healthy cell the cancer cell can form a grow lump in the body call a tumour or a lesion as it get large it can even grow its own vessel to keep it supply with blood a benign or non cancerous tumour share this uncontrolled growth but will not generally invade neighbouring tissue and damage they tumour which do this are malignant or cancerous the type of cell in which the cancer start will generally determine the speed at which it grow and its resistance to treatment although there are many variation cancer harm health in a number of way the very size of the tumour can interfere with nearby organ or duct which carry important chemical cause pain or other symptom for example a tumour on the pancrea can grow to block the bile duct lead to the patient develop obstructive jaundice and a brain tumour can push on important part of the brain cause blackout fit and other problem even benign tumour can cause these problem if locate in the wrong place when a cancer invade nearby tissue they can cause bleed from damaged blood vessel and stop the organ which they are invade from work properly what happen if the cancer spread as a tumour grow cell can break off and start grow on adjacent tissue and organ for example if a bowel cancer have spread through the wall of the bowel itself it can start grow on the bladder cell can also enter the bloodstream and travel to distant organ such as the lung or brain when new growth form on these organ they behave like the original tumour so bowel cancer cell in the lung will not be lung cancer this process of spread is call metastasis and once other organ are involve then any symptom of the cancer can get bad however it may be some time before a grow cancer in certain part of the body produce symptom that the patient can notice once a cancer have start to spread beyond its original site then the chance of a cure begin to fall as it become more difficult to treat how is cancer treat there are three principal way of treat cancer the first is surgery normally an operation to remove the cancerous growth and depend on its type nearby tissue and organ a cancer patient may first undergo a minor operation call a biopsy to take a small sample of the cancer for analysis the surgeon will try to remove as much of the cancer as possible but sometimes extra treatment will be need this could be radiotherapy in which powerful energy beam which can kill cancer cell are point at the area of the tumour click here for more information about radiotherapy alternatively doctor may choose to give chemotherapy in which drug are use which kill cancer cell or boost the bodys own natural defence against they click here for more information about chemotherapy see also 08 mar 99 health cancer cell suicide breakthrough 08 jun 99 health cancer send immune system to sleep,neutral,1

hi all I have been so worried and stress about my mother she is 65 and a small cell lung cancer survivor she was a 42 year smoker but quit when she was diagnose with cancer in 2005 she do not complain she say I do it to myself it is a long story but I move she down here for 8 month and take care of she because the medical in my small city home town is terrible small cell lung cancer is very agressive and inoperable I fly she here to the toronto area two day after she was diagnosise and brough she to er dept because back home she was not go to see the general surgeon who would eventually give she the biopsy for 7 week she would have die the cancer treatment are so intense she get chemo 8 hour a day 3 day in a roll every three week plus radiation every day for 3 week someday we were at two different hospital in two different city from 7 am to 8 pm I drag my old than 3 to all of this after the cancer was clear she undergo 2 week of daily brain radiation as a precaution because small cell lung cancer like to strike the brain next 6 month later she have a stroke from the side effect of the brain radiation and have a permanent speech impediment well last week she go for her yearly check up x ray and the doctor nurse call and schedule more x ray to clarify something they see she go today I wish I was there with she she is very nervous and rightfully do we are really hope it is only scar tissue whether she do this to herself of not is irrelevant to I she is my mother and it could be any smoker that get this fate all because we unfortunately fall for nicotine lie and become both physically and psychologically addicted I believe some of we have hard time with the psyhololgical aspect of this addiction than other and perhaps that is why some is will continue to feed this addiction even when we watch it kill we you might be ask why if my mom have cancer am I only quit just now 6 5 year later you would think sit in a hospital awake all night hold a bed pan for your mother who is spit up mouthful of blood into would be enough to scare I smober but no because I was an addict and I unfortunately believe it is lie especially the one about stress I should have quit when my mom get cancer but you see my father was so upset and worried about my mom that he work himself into a heart attack and die in my guest room when my mom was only here for 2 day being stage the stress of take care of my mom and arrange my dad funeral and transportation home I could not go to the funeral I have to take care of mom and handle their financial affair long distance for 8 month and so on smoking have a real psychological hold on I I see now the b s of this of this addiction so here I sit stress out about mom and what might be around the corner I am have other personal issue as well right now but that is besides the point will I take a puff to deal with the stress not a chance I have learn his lie if a friend were to betray I like this do you think I would stay not a chance thank for listen and let I vent I hope my post do not offend anyone but help we well understand it is lies hug nicole,negative,0
that is what tom hank say to a young boy in the movie cast away he want the boy to watch the clock and hurry sorting package I am think alot about time these day and I have a fairly simple question in 2007 my esophageal cancer was diagnose chemo radiation was follow by an esophagectomy it must have been very early stage adenocarcinoma since it have not spread to any lynph node I do not remember ever hear a staging number for two year everything was fine not a trace of cancer in any of the ct or pet scan that all change when a seizure quickly take I down in 2009 two metastatic tumor were find on my brain one each on the right and leave side the craniotomy brain surgery was a cake walk compare to the esophagectomy except for the part when they wake you up during surgery I also have cyberknife radiation to my brain after surgery to clean up any microscopic cancer cell that may have remain my question is this do the five year clock start when the cancer is first find or last find an early post by fred seem to indicate that the clock start over as jack nicholson say in the movie the bucket list do not be buy any green banana I would just like to know thank patrick,neutral,1

chicago woman could have been mistake for early dementia but an mri brain scan and biopsy reveal something surprising it look like their brain have been eat away a brain biopsy and a spinal tap confirm the diagnosis of a swiftly move and often fatal viral brain infection call progressive multifocal leukoencephalitis pml that attack the brain white matter both have lymphoma and have been take the popular cancer drug rituximab brand name rituxan before they develop the brain infection the two patient are part of a new study from the northwestern university feinberg school of medicine radar project lead by charles bennett m d that link rituximab to pml rituximab is the most important and widely use cancer drug for lymphoma it is also approve for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and is widely use off label to treat multiple sclerosis lupus erythematosus and autoimmune anemias bennett report on 57 case from 1997 to 2008 in which patient with anemia rheumatoid arthritis or lymphoma develop the fatal brain disease after take rituximab they die an average of two month after being diagnose the study was publish in the may 14 issue of the journal blood rituximab is one of the most prominent drug in a new class call monoclonal antibodie it is now the third monoclonal antibody that is associate with pml say bennett the a c buehler professor in economic and age at northwestern feinberg school and a hematologist and oncologist at the jesse brown va medical center in chicago one of the other two drug raptiva was take off the market in april of this year because of the pml risk the other drug tysabri was remove from the market for 1 year because of similar concern bennett say the brain infection is often overlook and undiagnosed because it is so subtle at first people may think it is early alzheimer disease or depression he say many of these patient have cancer and when they die people assume it is the cancer that kill they it is not yet know how rituximab is connect to the brain virus and who may be at risk bennett note that the good information on the frequency of pml is among patient with lupus with an estimate rate of 1 in 4 000 patient develop pml monoclonal antibodie target one particular protein find on the surface of cell in lymphoma rituximab target a protein call cd20 on the outside of b cell lymphomas the antibody bind to the protein lead to the destruction of the cancerous cell in non hodgkin lymphoma it turn out to be a home run bennett say of the drug it is been a magic bullet but concern about the drug association with pml first surface in 2006 when two patient with lupus develop the illness after take rituximab and other immunosuppressive treatment in 2008 bennett say the manufacturer of the drug genentech and biogen idec send letter to doctor alert they that a patient with rheumatoid arthritis who have been take rituximab also die from the brain infection the company ask whether physician have detect this illness among cancer patient who were take the drug bennett say it was know that a small number of patient with lymphoma get the infection regardless of the drug but it was atypical for lupus and rheumatoid arthritis patient to get it he say it was especially unusual for patient with autoimmune anemia like illness who have not receive a large number of other drug then steve rosen m d director of the robert h lurie comprehensive cancer center of northwestern university notice that the 83 year old woman was repeat the same phrase over and over after a brain biopsy identify the infection rosen alert bennett I tell he a serious abnormality was uncover and the radar program need to pursue it in the manner that he have investigate all other severe adverse drug problem rosen say bennetts radar project research on adverse drug event and report is an international consortium of physician that collaborate to identify adverse reaction to medication and device bennett meet with genentech executive offer to help they gather what thus far have been elusive information on the drug connection to the brain infection doctor have been reticent to report pml in their patient who have been take rituximab it is a lot of work to produce these report bennett explain about doctor reticence to offset this concern bennett call 12 major cancer center around the country ask doctor to share their information and offer to produce the report for they he discover an additional 22 case beyond what have previously been report the study result illustrate a need for caution in prescribing rituximab bennett say the drug have tremendous usefulness in lymphoma but as its use expand to disease that are not cancer we might have to reconsider the risk benefit bennett say some cancer patient take this drug chronically for non fatal chronic leukemia where the risk benefit calculation differ from lymphoma the next step bennett say is to determine the risk factor for the disease in people who take rituximab we need to learn more about this he say people have to think about the pro and con in setting where it is being use for nonmalignant disease people have been lull into a false sense of security that this drug is harmless and that it only do good thing no drug is perfect if people on rituximab develop any strange neurological symptom such as forgetfulness disorientation or mood change their doctor should be alert bennett say,neutral,1

I am a week away today from one year and I am struggle with some old guilt issue I have think I have put to rest my husband die of brain cancer and during his chemo and radiation he have an abdominal bleed due to being on a blood thin for some heart issue he never really recover from this bleed and spend most of the rest of his life in hospital and finally a nursing facility he quit eat and have already lose the use of his right hand he get weak and weak and I finally insist on a feeding tube while he was still in the hospital he want to come home but the drs and myself feel he need to go one last time to rehab to try to regain some strength so he could come home so he go and in a few day stop do any rehab and slowly become bedridden incontinent and it take two cna to move he to change sheet diaper and so on he give up I believe because he know he was die it was awful to see your handsome strong vital man go through this I was with he everyday but I would go home in the evening as he mostly sleep and I need some semblance of a normal life a nursing home is very depressing now of course I feel guilty for not being there all the time or at least later in the evening because you see he die after I have go home one evening I was not there I will never forgive myself for that and I feel he have not either most all of you have your spouse home and were with they when they die every time I read it I feel the guilt and the last guilt is that I could have have he home where he want to be yes I would have have to have 24 7 care because it was just I and there was no way I could move he by myself but I do not it was expensive not cover by any insurance and I feel he have the well fast care there and I was with he everyday but I was selfish scared and tired and overwhelmed but that is no excuse people tell I I do the good I could but I think they are placate I not want I to feel guilty but I do and today I feel like it is go to destroy I the pain I feel today is what I deserve for being selfish I can not call my mother because she die along time ago and my good friend is away for the day so I come here not for you to say oh you do nothing wrong you should not feel guilty but for some insight to help I get through this because I feel so terrible that is have no sign from my husband and he must be so upset and disappoint with I I am embarrassed to tell you all this but I have no where else to turn,negative,0
I have not been here in ds too much lately for a few reason for one I have been feel pretty good and I am keep my depression and anxiety at bay for now I have been very proactive in treat my depression and anxiety and the effort is pay off secondly I notice the last few day alot of bickering and so forth in here so I just kind of steered clear of that alot about god lately and I am very spiritual and as such I have no interest getting drag into the mess I have witness the last few day I love god god love I life is good but that is not the reason for this post today I attend the funeral of a very good friend this was no ordinary person this was a person who at the age of 57 and after battle brain cancer for 6 year finally succumb to this terrible disease but it is not only the courageous battle he put forth right up to the end it was how he live his entire life that was so remarkable everyone that know he become a well person for it he was a great football coach and guidance counselor at our local high school he touch the heart of everyone he meet whether it was an athlete student parent staff or friend that he come in contact with he always treat you the same he greet you with his sparkle blue eye and a wide smile and firm handshake or hug he always take the time to chat with you and ask you about this and that always give always helping always make you feel special he live life the way it should be live happy joyfull and full of love respect and integrity nearly 1 000 people attend the wake today the church as stand room only with people wait outside just to get a glimpse of the ceremony he was a man large then life I guess my point is that we all can live our life like this if we truly wish yes it may mean you need to continue to take your med go to therapy meditate pray and so on and so on but in the end we are responsible for where we are right now in our life the decision we have make in the past and the belief we have shape our current situation if you want to create a well tomorrow if you want to live life well then you are live it right now if you want to someday be this kind of person it really come down to your choice your thought and belief and action create your future there is still time and you can start now by take the first step just choose to make the next 5 minute the good 5 minute you have have in a long time and then keep build from there will you choose to be large then life or will you choose to live life the way you are live it now there is a poem call the dash there is also a version that have the word music and a beautiful slide show google it and read it and then answer this question how will you spend your dash when you read the poem the question make sense god bless,negative,0
I have never really been diagnose with social anxiety or just anxiety in general I just think that that is probaby what it must be since I have always fit that mold I have been in between depressed ok as far as I can remember when I was in my teen I would always cry myself to sleep figure that maybe since my mom was depress most of the time that I was too she was late dx with manic depression when they finally come up with a word for her disease I go to see a male psychiatrist he listen to I for about 60 second prescribe I with paxil at 15 about 3 week after I start take it the friend that I have back then tell I that I do not seem like myself I could no long recognize myself in the mirror anymore that scare I so I quit take it all through school the army I have friend but still feel like I really do not belong often spend time alone I try other antis but they do not work I am not on any med for depression at the moment now I have brain cancer over 8yrs now and my whole appearance have change before I get sick I have nice long blond hair was natually thin really never give a 2nd thought to how I look the kind of person that most people hate normally now I am way overweight with patchy thin hair that must be keep short I forget word most daily occurance on top of that I can not keep up physically emotionally or mentally where I use to be quick with a comment or funny or even sarcastic I can no long be either and have a hard time even participate in this life I often repeat thing because I do not remember what I have say so people just get annoy and leave I out of a conversation if I do go out for an evening rare I am constantly in the bathroom try to make myself look normal before I know it the night is over and I want to go home over the past 5yr I have just retreat into my own place and rarely leave it unless of course I have to I often talk to anyone while I am out or make little optimistic comment to total stranger or certain product and have no problem with that but if they do not say anything back or ignore I I tend to take it personally feel like an idiot and keep my mouth shut for the rest of the outing heck I may have even write this similar topic before it make I very sad that feel like I can not really participate in this life anymore I am now a very insecure person now probably cause by my very low self esteem any comment or remedy for I would be much appreciated please no negative remark more question feel free to ask as I am mostly an open book always hope northernchick,negative,0

we all know it is breast cancer awareness month but every time I hear about it see pink and so on I break down I am 49 and my good friend of 47 year was a survivor yep she hit 5 year then 8 and then we figure at about 8 year and 1 month bamb she was tell she have lung cancer the goal was to remove she left low lobe and that would be that well a week later she was have brain surgery because she have 2 lesion on her brain then in less than 2 week they find 5 more lesion on her brain and have what I think is call a gama knife or something like that so her lung treatment basically got put on hold she is have both radiation and chemo and it is just too much she is have another pet scan on monday but I know what this all mean it is like they just forget about the lung cancer part of her treatment to take care of her brain so this is where I need honest answer it is my responsibility to be there for she be her shoulder her rock but also I need to be realistic I will never take her hope away from she but I am confused when my father lung cancer come back and go to his brain I see how the medical profession basically give he false hope and drain every penny of his retirement so I am kind of familiar with how this work my question is when do the doctor stop take your money stop the experimental treatment that are not cover under your insurance when do your gut tell you when I first find out about her breast cancer return I look up information on the internet and it say it can be from week to 7 9 month I just need to know what to expect it make I absolutely sick to my stomach when I think of this and have pray so hard that if the lord do in fact answer prayer to please give I her cancer she have two small girl and a wonderful husband I am single no child and would absolutely take on this burden for she take her pain so if there is anyone that could please be 100 honest with I I do not care how brutal the fact will be I just need the fact thank you anyone that reply this is hard to do alone I fricken hate cancer when I say it is hard to do alone what I mean is the fact that I have to hold on to my emotion and let her mood drive our conversation we cry together laugh together but we do not mention what is to come below is her feeling about this month and all of the pink and I do not blame she for being angry I remember her joy at 5 year and it seem everything on tv is either a political ad or a commercial of what walk are go on to raise fund for breast cancer please pray for my dear friend here is her post and again thank you for take the time to read this and what is the most amazing thing about my dear friend is her want to reach out to other so they do not have to experience what she have today begin the start of breast cancer awareness month a subject very close to my heart there are a lot lot of people who jump on the bandwagon product pop up pink everywhere it is really kind of shove in our face that is all great let we raise fund but most importantly be proactive about your own health get your mammogram and check yourself monthly encourage the woman you love to do so as well and even the one you barely like this is a horrible disease that rob we of our time our hair and sometimes our life let we stop it before it hit,negative,0

brain you re chat with friend at a party and a waitress come around with glass of champagne you drink one then another maybe even a few more before you realize it you are laugh more loudly than usual and sway as you walk by the end of the evening you are too slow to move out of the way of a waiter with a dessert tray and have trouble speak clearly the next morning you wake up feel dizzy and your head hurt you may have a hard time remember everything you do the night before these reaction illustrate how quickly and dramatically alcohol affect the brain the brain is an intricate maze of connection that keep our physical and psychological process run smoothly disruption of any of these connection can affect how the brain work alcohol also can have long last consequence for the brainchanging the way it look and work and result in a range of problem most people do not realize how extensively alcohol can affect the brain but recognize these potential consequence will help you make well decision about what amount of alcohol is appropriate for you what happen inside the brain the brain structure is complex it include multiple system that interact to support all of your bodys functionsfrom think to breathe to move these multiple brain system communicate with each other through about a trillion tiny nerve cell call neuron neuron in the brain translate information into electrical and chemical signal the brain can understand they also send message from the brain to the rest of the body chemical call neurotransmitter carry message between the neuron neurotransmitter can be very powerful depend on the type and the amount of neurotransmitter these chemical can either intensify or minimize your bodys response your feeling and your mood the brain work to balance the neurotransmitter that speed thing up with the one that slow thing down to keep your body operate at the right pace alcohol can slow the pace of communication between neurotransmitter in the brain discover the brain change there still is much we do not understand about how the brain work and how alcohol affect it researcher are constantly discover more about how alcohol interrupt communication pathway in the brain and change brain structure and the result effect on behavior and function a variety of research method broaden our understanding in different way brain image various imaging tool include structural magnetic resonance imaging mri functional magnetic resonance image fmri diffusion tensor imaging dti and positron emission tomography pet are use to create picture of the brain mri and dti create image of brain structure or what the brain look like fmri look at brain function or what the brain is do it can detect change in brain activity pet scan look at change in neurotransmitter function all of these image technique are useful to track change in the alcoholic brain for example they can show how an alcoholic brain change immediately after drink stop and again after a long period of sobriety to check for possible relapse psychological test researcher also use psychological test to evaluate how alcohol relate brain change affect mental function these test demonstrate how alcohol affect emotion and personality as well as how it compromise learning and memory skill animal study test the effect of alcohol on animal brain help researcher well understand how alcohol injure the human brain and how abstinence can reverse this damage define the brain change use brain imaging and psychological test researcher have identify the region of the brain most vulnerable to alcohol effect these include cerebellum this area control motor coordination damage to the cerebellum result in a loss of balance and stumbling and also may affect cognitive function such as memory and emotional response limbic system this complex brain system monitor a variety of task include memory and emotion damage to this area impair each of these function cerebral cortex our ability to think plan behave intelligently and interact socially stem from this brain region in addition this area connect the brain to the rest of the nervous system change and damage to this area impair the ability to solve problem remember and learn alcohol shrink and disturb brain tissue heavy alcohol consumptioneven on a single occasioncan throw the delicate balance of neurotransmitter off course alcohol can cause your neurotransmitter to relay information too slowly so you feel extremely drowsy alcohol relate disruption to the neurotransmitter balance also can trigger mood and behavioral change include depression agitation memory loss and even seizure long term heavy drinking cause alteration in the neuron such as reduction in the size of brain cell as a result of these and other change brain mass shrink and the brain inner cavity grow big these change may affect a wide range of ability include motor coordination temperature regulation sleep mood and various cognitive function include learning and memory one neurotransmitter particularly susceptible to even small amount of alcohol is call glutamate among other thing glutamate affect memory researcher believe that alcohol interfere with glutamate action and this may be what cause some people to temporarily black out or forget much of what happen during a night of heavy drinking alcohol also cause an increase release of serotonin another neurotransmitter which help regulate emotional expression and endorphin which are natural substance that may spark feeling of relaxation and euphoria as intoxication set in researcher now understand that the brain try to compensate for these disruption neurotransmitter adapt to create balance in the brain despite the presence of alcohol but make these adaptation can have negative result include build alcohol tolerance develop alcohol dependence and experience alcohol withdrawal symptom what factor make a difference different people react differently to alcohol that is because a variety of factor can influence your brain response to alcohol these factor include how much and how often you drink the more you drink the more vulnerable your brain is your genetic background and family history of alcoholism certain ethnic population can have strong reaction to alcohol and child of alcoholic are more likely to become alcoholic themselves your physical health if you have liver or nutrition problem the effect of alcohol will take long to wear off are brain problem reversible abstain from alcohol over several month to a year may allow structural brain change to partially correct abstinence also can help reverse negative effect on think skill include problem solve memory and attention other alcohol relate brain condition liver damage that affect the brain not only do alcoholic liver disease affect liver function itself it also damage the brain the liver break down alcoholand the toxin it release during this process alcohol byproduct damage liver cell these damage liver cell no long function as well as they should and allow too much of these toxic substance ammonia and manganese in particular to travel to the brain these substance proceed to damage brain cell cause a serious and potentially fatal brain disorder know as hepatic encephalopathy hepatic encephalopathy cause a range of problem from less severe to fatal these problem can include sleep disturbance mood and personality change anxiety depression shorten attention span coordination problem include asterixis which result in hand shake or flap coma death doctor can help treat hepatic encephalopathy with compound that low blood ammonia concentration and with device that help remove harmful toxin from the blood in some case people suffer from hepatic encephalopathy require a liver transplant which generally help improve brain function fetal alcohol spectrum disorder alcohol can affect the brain at any stage of developmenteven before birth fetal alcohol spectrum disorder are the full range of physical learning and behavioral problem and other birth defect that result from prenatal alcohol exposure the most serious of these disorder fetal alcohol syndrome fas is characterize by abnormal facial feature and is usually associate with severe reduction in brain function and overall growth fas is the lead preventable birth defect associate with mental and behavioral impairment in the united states today the brain of child with fas are small than normal and contain few cell include neuron these deficiency result in life long learning and behavioral problem current research is investigate whether the brain function of child and adult with fas can be improve with complex rehabilitative training dietary supplement or medication return to top effect on the heart american know how prevalent heart disease isabout 1 in 12 of we suffer from it what we do not always recognize are the connection heart disease share with alcohol on the one hand researcher have know for century that excessive alcohol consumption can damage the heart drink a lot over a long period of time or drink too much on a single occasion can put your heartand your lifeat risk on the other hand researcher now understand that drink moderate amount of alcohol can protect the heart of some people from the risk of coronary artery disease decide how much if any alcohol is right for you can be complicated to make the good decision for yourself you need to know the fact and then consult your physician know the function your cardiovascular system consist of your heart blood vessel and blood this system work constantlyevery second of your lifedelivering oxygen and nutrient to your cell and carry away carbon dioxide and other unnecessary material your heart drive this process it is a muscle that contract and relax over and over again move the blood along the necessary path your heart beat about 100 000 time each day pump the equivalent of 2 000 gallon of blood throughout your body the two side or chamber of the heart receive blood and pump it back into the body the right ventricle of the heart pump blood into the lung to exchange carbon dioxide from the cell for oxygen the heart relax to allow this blood back into its left chamber it then pump the oxygen rich blood to tissue and organ blood pass through the kidney allow the body to get rid of waste product electrical signal keep the heart pump continuously and at the appropriate rate to propel this routine know the risk alcoholic cardiomyopathy long term heavy drinking weaken the heart muscle cause a condition call alcoholic cardiomyopathy a weaken heart droop and stretch and can not contract effectively as a result it can not pump enough blood to sufficiently nourish the organ in some case this blood flow shortage cause severe damage to organ and tissue symptom of cardiomyopathy include shortness of breath and other breathing difficulty fatigue swollen leg and foot and irregular heartbeat it can even lead to heart failure arrhythmias both binge drinking and long term drinking can affect how quickly a heart beat the heart depend on an internal pacemaker system to keep it pump consistently and at the right speed alcohol disturb this pacemaker system and cause the heart to beat too rapidly or irregularly these heart rate abnormality are call arrhythmias two type of alcohol induce arrhythmias are atrial fibrillation in this form of arrhythmia the heart upper or atrial chamber shudder weakly but do not contract blood can collect and even clot in these upper chamber if a blood clot travel from the heart to the brain a stroke can occur if it travel to other organ such as the lung an embolism or blood vessel blockage occur ventricular tachycardia this form of arrhythmia occur in the heart low or ventricular chamber electrical signal travel throughout the heart muscle trigger contraction that keep blood flow at the right pace alcohol induce damage to heart muscle cell can cause these electrical impulse to circle through the ventricle too many time cause too many contraction the heart beat too quickly and so do not fill up with enough blood between each beat as a result the rest of the body do not get enough blood ventricular tachycardia cause dizziness lightheadedness unconsciousness cardiac arrest and even sudden death drink to excess on a particular occasion especially when you generally do not drink can trigger either of these irregularity in these case the problem is nickname holiday heart syndrome because people who do not usually drink may consume too much alcohol at party during the holiday season over the long term chronic drinking change the course of electrical impulse that drive the heart beating which create arrhythmia stroke a stroke occur when blood can not reach the brain in about 80 percent of stroke a blood clot prevent blood flow to the brain these are call ischemic stroke sometimes blood accumulate in the brain or in the space surround it this cause hemorrhagic stroke both binge drinking and long term heavy drinking can lead to stroke even in people without coronary heart disease recent study show that people who binge drink are about 56 percent more likely than people who never binge drink to suffer an ischemic stroke over 10 year binge drinker also are about 39 percent more likely to suffer any type of stroke than people who never binge drink in addition alcohol exacerbate the problem that often lead to stroke include hypertension arrhythmias and cardiomyopathy hypertension chronic alcohol use as well as binge drinking can cause high blood pressure or hypertension your blood pressure is a measurement of the pressure your heart create as it beat and the pressure inside your vein and arterie healthy blood vessel stretch like elastic as the heart pump blood through they hypertension develop when the blood vessel stiffen make they less flexible heavy alcohol consumption trigger the release of certain stress hormone that in turn constrict blood vessel this elevate blood pressure in addition alcohol may affect the function of the muscle within the blood vessel cause they to constrict and elevate blood pressure know the benefit research show that healthy people who drink moderate amount of alcohol may have a low risk of develop coronary heart disease than nondrinker moderate drinking is usually define as no more than two drink in a give day for man and one drink per day for woman who are not pregnant or try to conceive a variety of factor include diet genetic high blood pressure and age can cause fat to build up in your artery result in coronary heart disease an excess of fat narrow the coronary artery which are the blood vessel that supply blood directly to the heart clog artery reduce blood supply to the heart muscle and make it easy for blood clot to form blood clot can lead to both heart attack and stroke accord to recent study drink moderately can protect your heart from these condition moderate drinking help inhibit and reduce the build up of fat in the artery it can raise the level of hdlor good cholesterolin the blood which ward off heart disease it can help guard against heart attack and stroke by prevent blood clot from form and by dissolve blood clot that do develop drink moderately also may help keep blood pressure level in check these benefit may not apply to people with exist medical condition or who regularly take certain medication in addition researcher discourage people from begin to drink just for the health benefit rather you can use this research to help you spark a conversation with your medical professional about the good path for you return to top effect on the liver know the fact liver disease is one of the lead cause of illness and death in the united states more than 2 million americans suffer from liver disease cause by alcohol in general liver disease strike people who drink heavily over many year while many of we recognize that excessive alcohol consumption can lead to liver disease we might not know why understand the connection between alcohol and the liver can help you make smart decision about drink and take well control of your health know the function your liver work hard to keep your body productive and healthy it store energy and nutrient it generate protein and enzyme your body use to function and ward off disease it also rid your body of substance that can be dangerousinclude alcohol the liver break down most of the alcohol a person consume but the process of break alcohol down generate toxin even more harmful than alcohol itself these by product damage liver cell promote inflammation and weaken the bodys natural defense eventually these problem can disrupt the bodys metabolism and impair the function of other organ because the liver play such a vital role in alcohol detoxification it is especially vulnerable to damage from excessive alcohol know the consequence heavy drinkingeven for just a few day at a timecan cause fat to build up in the liver this condition call steatosis or fatty liver is the early stage of alcoholic liver disease and the most common alcohol induce liver disorder the excessive fat make it more difficult for the liver to operate and leave it open to develop dangerous inflammation like alcoholic hepatitis for some alcoholic hepatitis do not present obvious symptom for other though alcoholic hepatitis can cause fever nausea appetite loss abdominal pain and even mental confusion as it increase in severity alcoholic hepatitis dangerously enlarge the liver and cause jaundice excessive bleeding and clot difficulty another liver condition associate with heavy drinking is fibrosis which cause scar tissue to build up in the liver alcohol alter the chemical in the liver need to break down and remove this scar tissue as a result liver function suffer if you continue to drink this excessive scar tissue build up and create a condition call cirrhosis which is a slow deterioration of the liver cirrhosis prevent the liver from perform critical function include manage infection remove harmful substance from the blood and absorb nutrient a variety of complication include jaundice insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes and even liver cancer can result as cirrhosis weaken liver function risk factor range from genetic and gender to alcohol accessibility social custom around drinking and even diet can affect a person individual susceptibility to alcoholic liver disease statistic show that about one in five heavy drinker will develop alcoholic hepatitis while one in four will develop cirrhosis know there s a bright side the good news is that a variety of lifestyle change can help treat alcoholic liver disease the most critical lifestyle change is abstinence from alcohol quit drinking will help prevent further injury to your liver cigarette smoking obesity and poor nutrition all contribute to alcoholic liver disease it is important to stop smoke and improve your eating habit to keep liver disease in check but when condition like cirrhosis become severe a liver transplant may be the primary treatment option return to top effect on the pancrea know the fact each year acute pancreatitis send more than 200 000 americans to the hospital many of those who suffer from pancreatic problem are also heavy drinker habitual and excessive drinking damage the pancrea and commonly cause pancreatitis learn more about the link between alcohol and pancreatic problem can help you make well decision to protect your health know the function the pancreas play an important role in food digestion and its conversion into fuel to power your body it send enzyme into the small intestine to digest carbohydrate protein and fat it also secrete insulin and glucagon hormone that regulate the process of utilize glucose the bodys main source of energy insulin and glucagon control glucose level which help all cell use the energy glucose provide insulin also ensure that extra glucose gets store away as either glycogen or fat when you drink alcohol damage pancreatic cell and influence metabolic process involve insulin this process leave the pancrea open to dangerous inflammation know the risk a pancrea unaffected by alcohol send enzyme out to the small intestine to metabolize food alcohol jumble this process it cause the pancrea to secrete its digestive juice internally rather than send the enzyme to the small intestine these enzyme as well as acetaldehydea substance produce from metabolize or break down the alcoholare harmful to the pancrea if you consume alcohol excessively over a long time this continue process can cause inflammation as well as swelling of tissue and blood vessel this inflammation is call pancreatitis and it prevent the pancrea from work properly pancreatitis occur as a sudden attack call acute pancreatitis as excessive drinking continue the inflammation can become constant this condition is know as chronic pancreatitis pancreatitis is also a risk factor for the development of pancreatic cancer a heavy drinker may not be able to detect the build up of pancreatic damage until the problem set off an attack an acute pancreatic attack cause symptom include abdominal pain which may radiate up the back nausea and vomit fever rapid heart rate diarrhea sweat chronic pancreatitis cause these symptom as well as severe abdominal pain significant reduction in pancreatic function and digestion and blood sugar problem chronic pancreatitis can slowly destroy the pancrea and lead to diabete or even death while a single drinking binge will not automatically lead to pancreatitis the risk of develop the disease increase as excessive drinking continue over time these risk apply to all heavy drinker but only about 5 percent of people with alcohol dependence develop pancreatitis some people are more susceptible to the disease than other but researcher have not yet identify exactly what environmental and genetic factor play the big role treatment helpsbut do not cure abstinence from alcohol can slow the progression of pancreatitis and reduce its painful symptom a low fat diet also may help it is also critical to guard against infection and to get supportive treatment treatment option include enzyme replacement therapy or insulin can improve pancreatic function in some case surgery is necessary to relieve pain clear blockage and reduce attack the effect of alcoholic pancreatitis can be manage but not easily reverse return to top cancer risk know the risk genetic environment and lifestyle habit can all heighten your risk of get cancer we can not do anything to change our gene and we often can not do much to change our environment but lifestyle habit are a different story drink too much alcohol is one lifestyle habit that can increase your risk of develop certain cancer this do not mean that anyone who drink too much will develop cancer but numerous study do show the more you drink the more you increase your chance of develop certain type of cancer for example a group of italy base scientist review more than 200 study examine alcohol impact on cancer risk the collective result of these study clearly demonstrate that the more you drink the high your risk for develop a variety of cancer the national cancer institute identify alcohol as a risk factor for the follow type of cancer mouth esophagus pharynx larynx liver breast at least 7 out of 10 people with mouth cancer drink heavily drink five or more drink per day can also increase your risk of develop other type of cancer include colon or rectal cancer in fact summary estimate from the recent world cancer research fund report indicate that woman who drink five standard alcohol drink each day have about 1 2 time the risk of develop colon or rectal cancer than woman who do not drink at all people who drink are also more likely to smoke and the combination increase the risk significantly smoke alone is a know risk factor for some cancer but smoking and drink together intensify the cancer cause property of each substance the overall effect pose an even great risk the risk of throat and mouth cancer is especially high because alcohol and tobacco both come in direct contact with those area overall people who drink and smoke are 15 time more likely to develop cancer of the mouth and throat than nondrinker and nonsmoker in addition recent study estimate that alcohol and tobacco together are responsible for 80 percent of throat and mouth cancer in man 65 percent of throat and mouth cancer in woman 80 percent of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma a type of esophagus cancer 25 to 30 percent of all liver cancer woman and cancer one recent groundbreaking study follow the drinking habit of 1 2 million middle aged woman over 7 year the study find that alcohol increase women chance of develop cancer of the breast mouth throat rectum liver and esophagus the researcher link alcohol to about 13 percent of these cancer case in addition the study conclude that cancer risk increase no matter how little or what kind of alcohol a woman drink even one drink a day can raise risk and it continue to rise with each additional drink while man do not participate in this study the researcher believe this risk is likely similar for man this study also attribute about 11 percent of all breast cancer case to alcohol that mean that of the 250 000 breast cancer case diagnose in the united states in 2008 about 27 000 may stem from alcohol know the reason scientist are still try to figure out exactly how and why alcohol can promote cancer there are a variety of possible explanation one explanation is that alcohol itself is not the primary trigger for cancer we know that metabolize or break down alcohol result in harmful toxin in the body one of these toxin is call acetylaldehyde acetylaldehyde damage the genetic material in cellsand render the cell incapable of repair the damage it also cause cell to grow too quickly which make condition ripe for genetic change and mistake cancer can develop more easily in cell with damage genetic material in addition recent animal study have show that as cell try to break down alcohol they cause the body to produce additional amount of a protein call vascular endothelial growth factor vegf vegf promote the growth of blood vessel and organ tissue but the flip side of have too much vegf is that it allow blood vessel to grow in cancer cell that would die on their own this allow the cancer cell to develop into tumor we also know that alcohol can damage the liver cause cirrhosis cirrhosis result when too much scar tissue build up within the liver and leave it unable to perform its vital function one of the many complication that can result from cirrhosis is liver cancer hormone may be the link between alcohol and breast cancer alcohol can increase the amount of some hormone in the body include estrogen an excess of estrogen may lead to breast cancer finally genetic may play a role in prevent some heavy drinker from develop cancer a european research team examine 9 000 people with similar lifestyle habit to determine why some of they develop mouth and throat cancer and some do not of the participant who were heavy drinker those who do not develop cancer have a particular genetic alteration that enable they to break down alcohol about 100 time fast than in those without it the study suggest that this gene is the reason why some people are less likely to develop cancer in response to heavy drinking know there s a bright side fortunately study show that you can reduce your risk for cancer by drink less a recent canadian report analyze study from 1966 through 2006 and conclude that risk reduction is possible specifically for head and neck cancer the study find that as people abstain from drink their risk for develop cancer plunge after 20 year of abstinence former drinker have the same risk for head and neck cancer as people who never drink return to top effect on the immune system germ and bacteria surround we everywhere luckily our immune system is

hi so I have never join one of these thing before but I really need help support since about 1998 I have been a cyberchondriac read about something on the internet and I magically develop the symptom that is the scary part I can develop the symptom and keep they go for a long time in 1998 I have get my first boyfriend my body decide it do not like I have a boyfriend and that is when the anxiety start I have this really weird throat ache one day that make I think that I have throat cancer this go on for three year and I eventually drive the boy I love away year later anxiety get I again right after the death of my mother I develop a rib disorder that go on for again three year it do not get any well until I start focus on other thing it is been go for maybe two year now the reason that I have join this site is that it always seem to start up again whether it is a fake urinary tract infection that I am sure is bladder cancer or a tiny lump in my neck that I am positive is neck cancer it always come back I need help very badly I can not go on like this my most current problem is that I find a tiny lump in my neck that is most likely an irritated lymph node the rational person would say that I bump it or something or maybe am get a cold but naturally my brain go right to cancer I feel like I need to see a doctor to tell I it is nothing but I do not want to I want to beat this I want to realize that it is nothing just so you all understand this lymph node if it even is that is tiny not nearly what one would consider swollen but I have been press on it and can not stop it is sore now I can only feel it when I turn my head and put my hand in a certain spot any help you guy can give I would be much appreciate like I say can not do this much long,negative,0
where to begin oh I just do I have never been so scared and depressed like this ever even with the dx of miss I go through that like ok we will just stay away from stress eat healthy and take application precausion now pancreatitis what is good for it is not good for miss I go back and forth fight which one do I want to flair up its a constand fear if I tick one off and it cause I more damge I have have another flair up brain lesion so I do not know if its cause by I try to get this cp under control or what then the 45 chance of develop cp cancer just is to much for I to deal with there have been case where miss lesion strike apart of the brain that check you out immediately but with cancer its way more scarry how do I deal with all these change I walk around scare all the time but am put up a good front no one see I am scream inside joyful joke I I am just not ready for this I wake up in the morning so happy to still be here and when the dark of night come I am fearful to go to sleep any one with encourge word to help I through this please reply,negative,0
it is been 9 month since I lose my precious maria to cancer we fight soooo hard for 4 1 2 greule month just 10 day after diagnosis and major surgery she get deathly sick and I have to call 911 she have a scan do that day which reveal the cancer have metastasize to her brain and they tell we she would not last a year needless to say my heart shatter in a million piece that day that day the real fight for life begin on a journey fill with many more 911 call that scar the hell out of we the waiting in anticipation of the 3 brain surgery she have in 4 month then the seizure she would have from the brain surgery always frighten we to the core and steal some hope away the new symptom that would develop from the cancer or from med that she have to take 20 plus time a day which was a full time job for I to keep track of since the doc were always change med and dosage the heart crush answer I keep get from my doctor everytime I ask they if now they think differently about her prognosis if they think she have a chance to live the late night research on the internet try to find the answer that would save my wife the scarry plane ride back and forth to texas to a clinic that we were sure was go to cure she have to push my always strong and confident wife around in a wheel chair help she up the stairs help she in the bathroom help she in the shower the 911 call that make she say I can not keep do this to you maybe this is it I put my head against hers try to hold back tear and say were go to do this together were go to beat this thing together all the scarry hospital stay where I sleep every night by her side in a chair see she in pain that was get bad as the cancer grow see her beautiful body deteriorate she always take such good care of herself these and many more flashback memory of even the great life we have together and what we mean to each other the incredible love we share for 16 year we run a succesful business together for 12 year and now I will be close its door sometime this year which is heartbreaking to I since she we work sooo hard to build it but I just do not want to do it without she I am sorry but I need to vent this I am struggle everyday emotionally I am get well in other way but the emotional part is probably the bad it have been yet I just seem to cry over all the memory of the good and the bad sorry if I overwhelm anyone I hope that when you are ready maybe you ll share your painful story here god bless and big hug to all bernard,negative,0

I have been have problem with double vision and blurry vision since april I go to a neurologist in may and he order a blood test to check for mg along with a bunch of other test his nurse tell I that the blood test was normal I have many of the symptom especially eye symptom of mg such as droopy eye lid very tired look eye sometimes it look and feel as though I can not hold they open it get bad the more tired I get my opthamologist believe it is mg I do not go back to see the neurologist for another month they do a brain mri and cat scan to rule out cancer and stroke I am wonder if the blood test is conclusive or if it is possible to have mg and have the blood test come back normal I am not sure what else it could be if it is mg thank,neutral,1
hi all I am new to this group and I might not belong here this was the close active group I could find where maybe some folk may have have some similar experience so please if I do not belong here feel free to kick I out anyway I have ton of health issue one of which is a primary immune disorder that put I at a 50 great risk for certain cancer than the general public so cancer screening are a part of my life I have lot of ocular issue about 4 month ago my retina specialist find a a growth choroidial nevus below and grow attach to my retina it was wide and slightly raise and not there at my previous exam 4 month prior I have ton of lab and cbc were all normal and no sign of blood cancer I immediately see and ocular oncologist who want to wait and measure it again in 3 month to see if it change at all before insert a radiation disk personally I was in favor of just blast the thing right away so in about 2 week I go back to have the nevus measure and a decision about radiation now or more monitoring give my increase risk for cancer and a history of brain tumor and the fact that I have been have lot of headache I want to push for the radiation disk however I really do not know that that is wise my dr are all at one of the top 10 hospital in the world so I receive good care but I also tend to trust my gut instinct when it come to some of my chronic illness it may sound silly but I have a lot of chronic issue and I just feel like I know when something is off with I so I guess what I am ask is how some of you all come to a decision to proceed or hold off on treatment do anyone go against their oncologist suggestion so sorry for the really long first post when I may not even belong here thank for read anna,neutral,1

beyond hangover a brightly color cosmopolitan is the drink of choice for the glamorous character in sex and the city james bond depend on his famous martinishaken not stirredto unwind with after confound a villain and what wedding conclude without a champagne toast alcohol is part of our cultureit help we celebrate and socialize and it enhance our religious ceremony but drink too muchon a single occasion or over timecan have serious consequence for our health most americans recognize that drink too much can lead to accident and dependence but that s only part of the story in addition to these serious problem alcohol abuse can damage organ weaken the immune system and contribute to cancer plus much like smoking alcohol affect different people differently gene environment and even diet can play a role in whether you develop an alcohol relate disease on the flip side some people actually may benefit from drink alcohol in small quantity sound complicated it sure can be to stay healthy and to decide what role alcohol should play in your life you need accurate up to date information this brochure is design to offer you guidance base on the late research on alcohol effect on your health a little go a long way know the amount know how much alcohol constitute a standard drink can help you determine how much you are drink and understand the risk one standard drink contain about 0 6 fluid ounce or 14 gram of pure alcohol in more familiar term the follow amount constitute one standard drink 12 fluid ounce of beer about 5 alcohol 8 to 9 fluid ounce of malt liquor about 7 alcohol 5 fluid ounce of table wine about 12 alcohol 1 5 fluid ounce of hard liquor about 40 alcohol research demonstrate low risk drinking level for man are no more than 4 drink on any single day and no more than 14 drink per week for woman low risk drinking level are no more than three drink on any single day and no more than seven drink per week to stay low risk you must keep within both the single day and weekly limit even within these limit you can have problem if you drink too quickly have health condition or are over age 65 old adult should have no more than three drink on any day and no more than seven drink per week base on your health and how alcohol affect you you may need to drink less or not at all people who should abstain from alcohol completely include those who plan to drive a vehicle or operate machinery are pregnant or try to become pregnant take medication that interact with alcohol have a medical condition that alcohol can aggravate return to top effect on the brain you re chat with friend at a party and a waitress come around with glass of champagne you drink one then another maybe even a few more before you realize it you are laugh more loudly than usual and sway as you walk by the end of the evening you are too slow to move out of the way of a waiter with a dessert tray and have trouble speak clearly the next morning you wake up feel dizzy and your head hurt you may have a hard time remember everything you do the night before these reaction illustrate how quickly and dramatically alcohol affect the brain the brain is an intricate maze of connection that keep our physical and psychological process run smoothly disruption of any of these connection can affect how the brain work alcohol also can have long last consequence for the brainchanging the way it look and work and result in a range of problem most people do not realize how extensively alcohol can affect the brain but recognize these potential consequence will help you make well decision about what amount of alcohol is appropriate for you what happen inside the brain the brain structure is complex it include multiple system that interact to support all of your bodys functionsfrom think to breathe to move these multiple brain system communicate with each other through about a trillion tiny nerve cell call neuron neuron in the brain translate information into electrical and chemical signal the brain can understand they also send message from the brain to the rest of the body chemical call neurotransmitter carry message between the neuron neurotransmitter can be very powerful depend on the type and the amount of neurotransmitter these chemical can either intensify or minimize your bodys response your feeling and your mood the brain work to balance the neurotransmitter that speed thing up with the one that slow thing down to keep your body operate at the right pace alcohol can slow the pace of communication between neurotransmitter in the brain discover the brain change there still is much we do not understand about how the brain work and how alcohol affect it researcher are constantly discover more about how alcohol interrupt communication pathway in the brain and change brain structure and the result effect on behavior and function a variety of research method broaden our understanding in different way brain image various imaging tool include structural magnetic resonance imaging mri functional magnetic resonance image fmri diffusion tensor imaging dti and positron emission tomography pet are use to create picture of the brain mri and dti create image of brain structure or what the brain look like fmri look at brain function or what the brain is do it can detect change in brain activity pet scan look at change in neurotransmitter function all of these image technique are useful to track change in the alcoholic brain for example they can show how an alcoholic brain change immediately after drink stop and again after a long period of sobriety to check for possible relapse psychological test researcher also use psychological test to evaluate how alcohol relate brain change affect mental function these test demonstrate how alcohol affect emotion and personality as well as how it compromise learning and memory skill animal study test the effect of alcohol on animal brain help researcher well understand how alcohol injure the human brain and how abstinence can reverse this damage define the brain change use brain imaging and psychological test researcher have identify the region of the brain most vulnerable to alcohol effect these include cerebellum this area control motor coordination damage to the cerebellum result in a loss of balance and stumbling and also may affect cognitive function such as memory and emotional response limbic system this complex brain system monitor a variety of task include memory and emotion damage to this area impair each of these function cerebral cortex our ability to think plan behave intelligently and interact socially stem from this brain region in addition this area connect the brain to the rest of the nervous system change and damage to this area impair the ability to solve problem remember and learn alcohol shrink and disturb brain tissue heavy alcohol consumptioneven on a single occasioncan throw the delicate balance of neurotransmitter off course alcohol can cause your neurotransmitter to relay information too slowly so you feel extremely drowsy alcohol relate disruption to the neurotransmitter balance also can trigger mood and behavioral change include depression agitation memory loss and even seizure long term heavy drinking cause alteration in the neuron such as reduction in the size of brain cell as a result of these and other change brain mass shrink and the brain inner cavity grow big these change may affect a wide range of ability include motor coordination temperature regulation sleep mood and various cognitive function include learning and memory one neurotransmitter particularly susceptible to even small amount of alcohol is call glutamate among other thing glutamate affect memory researcher believe that alcohol interfere with glutamate action and this may be what cause some people to temporarily black out or forget much of what happen during a night of heavy drinking alcohol also cause an increase release of serotonin another neurotransmitter which help regulate emotional expression and endorphin which are natural substance that may spark feeling of relaxation and euphoria as intoxication set in researcher now understand that the brain try to compensate for these disruption neurotransmitter adapt to create balance in the brain despite the presence of alcohol but make these adaptation can have negative result include build alcohol tolerance develop alcohol dependence and experience alcohol withdrawal symptom what factor make a difference different people react differently to alcohol that is because a variety of factor can influence your brain response to alcohol these factor include how much and how often you drink the more you drink the more vulnerable your brain is your genetic background and family history of alcoholism certain ethnic population can have strong reaction to alcohol and child of alcoholic are more likely to become alcoholic themselves your physical health if you have liver or nutrition problem the effect of alcohol will take long to wear off are brain problem reversible abstain from alcohol over several month to a year may allow structural brain change to partially correct abstinence also can help reverse negative effect on think skill include problem solve memory and attention other alcohol relate brain condition liver damage that affect the brain not only do alcoholic liver disease affect liver function itself it also damage the brain the liver break down alcoholand the toxin it release during this process alcohol byproduct damage liver cell these damage liver cell no long function as well as they should and allow too much of these toxic substance ammonia and manganese in particular to travel to the brain these substance proceed to damage brain cell cause a serious and potentially fatal brain disorder know as hepatic encephalopathy hepatic encephalopathy cause a range of problem from less severe to fatal these problem can include sleep disturbance mood and personality change anxiety depression shorten attention span coordination problem include asterixis which result in hand shake or flap coma death doctor can help treat hepatic encephalopathy with compound that low blood ammonia concentration and with device that help remove harmful toxin from the blood in some case people suffer from hepatic encephalopathy require a liver transplant which generally help improve brain function fetal alcohol spectrum disorder alcohol can affect the brain at any stage of developmenteven before birth fetal alcohol spectrum disorder are the full range of physical learning and behavioral problem and other birth defect that result from prenatal alcohol exposure the most serious of these disorder fetal alcohol syndrome fas is characterize by abnormal facial feature and is usually associate with severe reduction in brain function and overall growth fas is the lead preventable birth defect associate with mental and behavioral impairment in the united states today the brain of child with fas are small than normal and contain few cell include neuron these deficiency result in life long learning and behavioral problem current research is investigate whether the brain function of child and adult with fas can be improve with complex rehabilitative training dietary supplement or medication return to top effect on the heart american know how prevalent heart disease isabout 1 in 12 of we suffer from it what we do not always recognize are the connection heart disease share with alcohol on the one hand researcher have know for century that excessive alcohol consumption can damage the heart drink a lot over a long period of time or drink too much on a single occasion can put your heartand your lifeat risk on the other hand researcher now understand that drink moderate amount of alcohol can protect the heart of some people from the risk of coronary artery disease decide how much if any alcohol is right for you can be complicated to make the good decision for yourself you need to know the fact and then consult your physician know the function your cardiovascular system consist of your heart blood vessel and blood this system work constantlyevery second of your lifedelivering oxygen and nutrient to your cell and carry away carbon dioxide and other unnecessary material your heart drive this process it is a muscle that contract and relax over and over again move the blood along the necessary path your heart beat about 100 000 time each day pump the equivalent of 2 000 gallon of blood throughout your body the two side or chamber of the heart receive blood and pump it back into the body the right ventricle of the heart pump blood into the lung to exchange carbon dioxide from the cell for oxygen the heart relax to allow this blood back into its left chamber it then pump the oxygen rich blood to tissue and organ blood pass through the kidney allow the body to get rid of waste product electrical signal keep the heart pump continuously and at the appropriate rate to propel this routine know the risk alcoholic cardiomyopathy long term heavy drinking weaken the heart muscle cause a condition call alcoholic cardiomyopathy a weaken heart droop and stretch and can not contract effectively as a result it can not pump enough blood to sufficiently nourish the organ in some case this blood flow shortage cause severe damage to organ and tissue symptom of cardiomyopathy include shortness of breath and other breathing difficulty fatigue swollen leg and foot and irregular heartbeat it can even lead to heart failure arrhythmias both binge drinking and long term drinking can affect how quickly a heart beat the heart depend on an internal pacemaker system to keep it pump consistently and at the right speed alcohol disturb this pacemaker system and cause the heart to beat too rapidly or irregularly these heart rate abnormality are call arrhythmias two type of alcohol induce arrhythmias are atrial fibrillation in this form of arrhythmia the heart upper or atrial chamber shudder weakly but do not contract blood can collect and even clot in these upper chamber if a blood clot travel from the heart to the brain a stroke can occur if it travel to other organ such as the lung an embolism or blood vessel blockage occur ventricular tachycardia this form of arrhythmia occur in the heart low or ventricular chamber electrical signal travel throughout the heart muscle trigger contraction that keep blood flow at the right pace alcohol induce damage to heart muscle cell can cause these electrical impulse to circle through the ventricle too many time cause too many contraction the heart beat too quickly and so do not fill up with enough blood between each beat as a result the rest of the body do not get enough blood ventricular tachycardia cause dizziness lightheadedness unconsciousness cardiac arrest and even sudden death drink to excess on a particular occasion especially when you generally do not drink can trigger either of these irregularity in these case the problem is nickname holiday heart syndrome because people who do not usually drink may consume too much alcohol at party during the holiday season over the long term chronic drinking change the course of electrical impulse that drive the heart beating which create arrhythmia stroke a stroke occur when blood can not reach the brain in about 80 percent of stroke a blood clot prevent blood flow to the brain these are call ischemic stroke sometimes blood accumulate in the brain or in the space surround it this cause hemorrhagic stroke both binge drinking and long term heavy drinking can lead to stroke even in people without coronary heart disease recent study show that people who binge drink are about 56 percent more likely than people who never binge drink to suffer an ischemic stroke over 10 year binge drinker also are about 39 percent more likely to suffer any type of stroke than people who never binge drink in addition alcohol exacerbate the problem that often lead to stroke include hypertension arrhythmias and cardiomyopathy hypertension chronic alcohol use as well as binge drinking can cause high blood pressure or hypertension your blood pressure is a measurement of the pressure your heart create as it beat and the pressure inside your vein and arterie healthy blood vessel stretch like elastic as the heart pump blood through they hypertension develop when the blood vessel stiffen make they less flexible heavy alcohol consumption trigger the release of certain stress hormone that in turn constrict blood vessel this elevate blood pressure in addition alcohol may affect the function of the muscle within the blood vessel cause they to constrict and elevate blood pressure know the benefit research show that healthy people who drink moderate amount of alcohol may have a low risk of develop coronary heart disease than nondrinker moderate drinking is usually define as no more than two drink in a give day for man and one drink per day for woman who are not pregnant or try to conceive a variety of factor include diet genetic high blood pressure and age can cause fat to build up in your artery result in coronary heart disease an excess of fat narrow the coronary artery which are the blood vessel that supply blood directly to the heart clog artery reduce blood supply to the heart muscle and make it easy for blood clot to form blood clot can lead to both heart attack and stroke accord to recent study drink moderately can protect your heart from these condition moderate drinking help inhibit and reduce the build up of fat in the artery it can raise the level of hdlor good cholesterolin the blood which ward off heart disease it can help guard against heart attack and stroke by prevent blood clot from form and by dissolve blood clot that do develop drink moderately also may help keep blood pressure level in check these benefit may not apply to people with exist medical condition or who regularly take certain medication in addition researcher discourage people from begin to drink just for the health benefit rather you can use this research to help you spark a conversation with your medical professional about the good path for you return to top effect on the liver know the fact liver disease is one of the lead cause of illness and death in the united states more than 2 million americans suffer from liver disease cause by alcohol in general liver disease strike people who drink heavily over many year while many of we recognize that excessive alcohol consumption can lead to liver disease we might not know why understand the connection between alcohol and the liver can help you make smart decision about drink and take well control of your health know the function your liver work hard to keep your body productive and healthy it store energy and nutrient it generate protein and enzyme your body use to function and ward off disease it also rid your body of substance that can be dangerousinclude alcohol the liver break down most of the alcohol a person consume but the process of break alcohol down generate toxin even more harmful than alcohol itself these by product damage liver cell promote inflammation and weaken the bodys natural defense eventually these problem can disrupt the bodys metabolism and impair the function of other organ because the liver play such a vital role in alcohol detoxification it is especially vulnerable to damage from excessive alcohol know the consequence heavy drinkingeven for just a few day at a timecan cause fat to build up in the liver this condition call steatosis or fatty liver is the early stage of alcoholic liver disease and the most common alcohol induce liver disorder the excessive fat make it more difficult for the liver to operate and leave it open to develop dangerous inflammation like alcoholic hepatitis for some alcoholic hepatitis do not present obvious symptom for other though alcoholic hepatitis can cause fever nausea appetite loss abdominal pain and even mental confusion as it increase in severity alcoholic hepatitis dangerously enlarge the liver and cause jaundice excessive bleeding and clot difficulty another liver condition associate with heavy drinking is fibrosis which cause scar tissue to build up in the liver alcohol alter the chemical in the liver need to break down and remove this scar tissue as a result liver function suffer if you continue to drink this excessive scar tissue build up and create a condition call cirrhosis which is a slow deterioration of the liver cirrhosis prevent the liver from perform critical function include manage infection remove harmful substance from the blood and absorb nutrient a variety of complication include jaundice insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes and even liver cancer can result as cirrhosis weaken liver function risk factor range from genetic and gender to alcohol accessibility social custom around drinking and even diet can affect a person individual susceptibility to alcoholic liver disease statistic show that about one in five heavy drinker will develop alcoholic hepatitis while one in four will develop cirrhosis know there s a bright side the good news is that a variety of lifestyle change can help treat alcoholic liver disease the most critical lifestyle change is abstinence from alcohol quit drinking will help prevent further injury to your liver cigarette smoking obesity and poor nutrition all contribute to alcoholic liver disease it is important to stop smoke and improve your eating habit to keep liver disease in check but when condition like cirrhosis become severe a liver transplant may be the primary treatment option return to top effect on the pancrea know the fact each year acute pancreatitis send more than 200 000 americans to the hospital many of those who suffer from pancreatic problem are also heavy drinker habitual and excessive drinking damage the pancrea and commonly cause pancreatitis learn more about the link between alcohol and pancreatic problem can help you make well decision to protect your health know the function the pancreas play an important role in food digestion and its conversion into fuel to power your body it send enzyme into the small intestine to digest carbohydrate protein and fat it also secrete insulin and glucagon hormone that regulate the process of utilize glucose the bodys main source of energy insulin and glucagon control glucose level which help all cell use the energy glucose provide insulin also ensure that extra glucose gets store away as either glycogen or fat when you drink alcohol damage pancreatic cell and influence metabolic process involve insulin this process leave the pancrea open to dangerous inflammation know the risk a pancrea unaffected by alcohol send enzyme out to the small intestine to metabolize food alcohol jumble this process it cause the pancrea to secrete its digestive juice internally rather than send the enzyme to the small intestine these enzyme as well as acetaldehydea substance produce from metabolize or break down the alcoholare harmful to the pancrea if you consume alcohol excessively over a long time this continue process can cause inflammation as well as swelling of tissue and blood vessel this inflammation is call pancreatitis and it prevent the pancrea from work properly pancreatitis occur as a sudden attack call acute pancreatitis as excessive drinking continue the inflammation can become constant this condition is know as chronic pancreatitis pancreatitis is also a risk factor for the development of pancreatic cancer a heavy drinker may not be able to detect the build up of pancreatic damage until the problem set off an attack an acute pancreatic attack cause symptom include abdominal pain which may radiate up the back nausea and vomit fever rapid heart rate diarrhea sweat chronic pancreatitis cause these symptom as well as severe abdominal pain significant reduction in pancreatic function and digestion and blood sugar problem chronic pancreatitis can slowly destroy the pancrea and lead to diabete or even death while a single drinking binge will not automatically lead to pancreatitis the risk of develop the disease increase as excessive drinking continue over time these risk apply to all heavy drinker but only about 5 percent of people with alcohol dependence develop pancreatitis some people are more susceptible to the disease than other but researcher have not yet identify exactly what environmental and genetic factor play the big role treatment helpsbut do not cure abstinence from alcohol can slow the progression of pancreatitis and reduce its painful symptom a low fat diet also may help it is also critical to guard against infection and to get supportive treatment treatment option include enzyme replacement therapy or insulin can improve pancreatic function in some case surgery is necessary to relieve pain clear blockage and reduce attack the effect of alcoholic pancreatitis can be manage but not easily reverse return to top cancer risk know the risk genetic environment and lifestyle habit can all heighten your risk of get cancer we can not do anything to change our gene and we often can not do much to change our environment but lifestyle habit are a different story drink too much alcohol is one lifestyle habit that can increase your risk of develop certain cancer this do not mean that anyone who drink too much will develop cancer but numerous study do show the more you drink the more you increase your chance of develop certain type of cancer for example a group of italy base scientist review more than 200 study examine alcohol impact on cancer risk the collective result of these study clearly demonstrate that the more you drink the high your risk for develop a variety of cancer the national cancer institute identify alcohol as a risk factor for the follow type of cancer mouth esophagus pharynx larynx liver breast at least 7 out of 10 people with mouth cancer drink heavily drink five or more drink per day can also increase your risk of develop other type of cancer include colon or rectal cancer in fact summary estimate from the recent world cancer research fund report indicate that woman who drink five standard alcohol drink each day have about 1 2 time the risk of develop colon or rectal cancer than woman who do not drink at all people who drink are also more likely to smoke and the combination increase the risk significantly smoke alone is a know risk factor for some cancer but smoking and drink together intensify the cancer cause property of each substance the overall effect pose an even great risk the risk of throat and mouth cancer is especially high because alcohol and tobacco both come in direct contact with those area overall people who drink and smoke are 15 time more likely to develop cancer of the mouth and throat than nondrinker and nonsmoker in addition recent study estimate that alcohol and tobacco together are responsible for 80 percent of throat and mouth cancer in man 65 percent of throat and mouth cancer in woman 80 percent of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma a type of esophagus cancer 25 to 30 percent of all liver cancer woman and cancer one recent groundbreaking study follow the drinking habit of 1 2 million middle aged woman over 7 year the study find that alcohol increase women chance of develop cancer of the breast mouth throat rectum liver and esophagus the researcher link alcohol to about 13 percent of these cancer case in addition the study conclude that cancer risk increase no matter how little or what kind of alcohol a woman drink even one drink a day can raise risk and it continue to rise with each additional drink while man do not participate in this study the researcher believe this risk is likely similar for man this study also attribute about 11 percent of all breast cancer case to alcohol that mean that of the 250 000 breast cancer case diagnose in the united states in 2008 about 27 000 may stem from alcohol know the reason scientist are still try to figure out exactly how and why alcohol can promote cancer there are a variety of possible explanation one explanation is that alcohol itself is not the primary trigger for cancer we know that metabolize or break down alcohol result in harmful toxin in the body one of these toxin is call acetylaldehyde acetylaldehyde damage the genetic material in cellsand render the cell incapable of repair the damage it also cause cell to grow too quickly which make condition ripe for genetic change and mistake cancer can develop more easily in cell with damage genetic material in addition recent animal study have show that as cell try to break down alcohol they cause the body to produce additional amount of a protein call vascular endothelial growth factor vegf vegf promote the growth of blood vessel and organ tissue but the flip side of have too much vegf is that it allow blood vessel to grow in cancer cell that would die on their own this allow the cancer cell to develop into tumor we also know that alcohol can damage the liver cause cirrhosis cirrhosis result when too much scar tissue build up within the liver and leave it unable to perform its vital function one of the many complication that can result from cirrhosis is liver cancer hormone may be the link between alcohol and breast cancer alcohol can increase the amount of some hormone in the body include estrogen an excess of estrogen may lead to breast cancer finally genetic may play a role in prevent some heavy drinker from develop cancer a european research team examine 9 000 people with similar lifestyle habit to determine why some of they develop mouth and throat cancer and some do not of the participant who were heavy drinker those who do not develop cancer have a particular genetic alteration that enable they to break down alcohol about 100 time fast than in those without it the study suggest that this gene is the reason why some people are less likely to develop cancer in response to heavy drinking know there s a bright side fortunately study show that you can reduce your risk for cancer by drink less a recent canadian report analyze study from 1966 through 2006 and conclude that risk reduction is possible specifically for head and neck cancer the study find that as people abstain from drink their risk for develop cancer plunge after 20 year of abstinence former drinker have the same risk for head and neck cancer as people who never drink return to top effect on the immune system germ and bacteria surround we everywhere luckily our immune system is

I have only been with one therapist in my life and I have been with he for over 8 year I use to think he was my life line between I and all the past and current trauma we are very good friend not outside of the office and have see each other through cancer brain aneurysm break up and other life change and have been each other big cheerleader he is the only person who I feel safe tell it all to the good what little there is and the ugliness without fear of he tell someone or use it against I some way I have a good friend who have been tell I for the last couple of year I need to find someone new as he is not help I I have come to realize in the past few day that she is probably right after the first year he have not have I address anything but current issue when I was dxe with bpd and bp he was totally shocked and disagree about the bpd say I do not show the ugly characteristic that he have deal with other bpd point my rape issue with my mother feeling of abandonment being verbally mentally and emotionally abuse being tell my entire childhood I was never want I was a horrible mistake and not lovable are never been readdresse since the first time I have been at a standstill these last seven year as I think he do not want to hurt I by push I we are to close and therefore have become ineffective as a doctor and point he have also not charge I for anything my insurance do not cover for the last two year which is greatly appreciate believe I so what should I do I will be leave the state in 3 4 month and get a new therapist in the new state and need to make sure to keep my distance to ensure a effective doctor patient relationship how do I make sure this do not happen again as it was over a year before we cross that path,negative,0

okay so I mention this to my dad and my grandmother and I think they would be the first to critisize it but to my surprise they do not so I think I would bring it up here this is not for everyone and is by no mean suggest you stop your current treatment have you ever hear of the placebo effect well if not here is the basic idea someone take a sugar pill or some other kind of unproven safe treatment thinking that it is an effective medication that will cure they they believe this so strongly that it work this have actually happen in cancer patient they are often tell to believe visualize the cancer go away and sometimes voila it do this only work if you truely believe it will though let I make a connection between pkd and cancer in case anyone can not see how the two relate many cancer are cause by a virus the way a virus work is that it mess with our dna it take over the dna and wreak havoc all over the place now what is pkd nothing but a genetic disease a problem with our dna so I think that if this belief work for cancer then maybe something like water therapy drink lot of water or take a placebo for your information placebo have cure lot of disease and believe that our brain is powerful enough to cure we which it certainly is maybe it will work I mean what have we get to lose I tell you it is a crazy idea but it is not entirely worth throw out I mean look at hypocohdriac if they can cause themselves to have an illness then what is stop we from make ourselves well but like I say this can only work if you really believe in it I believe it because I have see lot of study show it actually work who care if it is a trick on your mind if it make you well and I guess well see how it go afterall I believe that my bp was low and bam it was the brain is a powerful confusing thing,neutral,1

for awhile now I have been tear between the idea of live and die I am not actively suicidal but I have been think about if my cancer come back would it be so bad to die when breast cancer recur it is usually metastasize into the brain bone or liver and that mean stage iv terminal treatment can prolong life for year though death from breast cancer is usually a long prolonged and painful process for all of we with depression who think about death we think of an immediate relatively painless exit nobody want to linger in pain burden love one so it really scare I to think about cancer come back I am afraid of die slowly but maybe I am kind of afraid of live too it is hard for I to think of why I should stick around I do not work anymore do not contribute anything to the world I was teach that you should always make yourself useful and it is hard to believe I have any worth otherwise I have no friend or family to speak of just one brother who live in another state who have a very happy full life and my husband who really do not need I he also have a happy full life and I feel like dead weight the only critter who really need I are my two cat anyway so I dream I commit suicide by jump off a high cliff it was such a sad scary feeling know that I would done something irrevocable I was fall into a beautiful green landscape of water and rock then I realize that nobody would know what happen to I because I have not leave a suicide note so I wake myself up,negative,0

victoria canada this event save my life I meet kid my age witth dystonia for my very first time and they give I the hope to fight so I come back and decide to undergo 2 procedure call pallidotomys to correct my dystonia they were brain surgery where you spend 10 14 hour awake with your head screw into a halo literally 4 titanium screw I need two one for each side of the brain needless to say I was a little more than optimistic that I was about to get my life back the first one was a mild success the second one about 6 hour in they hit a blood vessel and I have a stroke the doctor flip out and panic I feel blood dripping on my neck I feel so tired the doctor beg I to stay awake but the urge to sleep was strong I was send to intensive care and was not allow to have any pain killer just that

some of you may know that I have a bit of a scare when they find a cyst in the temporal lobe of my brain there was a small chance it could have been cancer also even if benign it might have impact the tissue around it there was the possibility I would need brain surgery at any rate the second contrast mri with the dye would let we know exactly what I was face I phone my tall dark handsome successful live in a million dollar house in hawaii every thing go for he thirty year old son and tell he about it he say he would phone I after the second mri to find out the result a week and a day go by no phone call this is a pattern that have been go on for year and for I this was the last straw I mean if he do not care whether I have a brain tumor or not how could he care about I never mind I am right there for he every single time he have a problem or need someone to talk to always always right there for he sound like a lot of the same thing he put all his girlfriend through too he count they do not and I guess I do not either I blow up I tell he he was a jerk and an asshole my husband say I should not have use the profanity grant in a calm moment I would not have I have never say anything like htat to he before I am just beyond fed up with his lack of concern and insensitivity I would like your opinion I also say this the last time I would let he tear my gut out it hurt that bad because he is my kid no one can hurt you like your kid I have tell he for year this kind of behavior hurt I and it never bother to change it love eve oh the brain cyst thank god turn out to be benign well just watch it repeat mris now and again,negative,0

hey guy I hardly ever post but figure I would reach out and talk about ph since I have been learn about it lately I feel like I finally get it I go into remission a while back for several month I was take bake soda and epson salt bath every night I do not have a bathtub right now recently a friend of mine was diagnose with cancer so I start really learn about acidic vs alkaline this is what I learn about ph for those that are interested your blood ph stay at a constant 7 35 to 7 45 your body do everything it have to do to keep your blood in a normal ph zone it will draw out calcium and magnesium from bone for example to normalize your blood ph your saliva and urine ph however is a whole different ball game and the average american have a low urine ph somewhere in the 5 to 6 range which is very acidic your body prefer to not have to draw out nutrient from the body to normalize the blood but rather that we keep the 7 45 ph from our diet and lifestyle people with cancer generally have a urine ph in the range of 4 your blood cell require a ton of oxygen to survive just like when you rub a balloon on your head and stick it to a wall that balloon require certain condition like static electricity and for the air to be dry otherwise it would not stick with your cell oxygen is the same way the ph of your cell have to be alkaline in order for the oxygen to stick if your blood cell are too acidic your body will again take from your muscle or your bone and even your brain hello brain fog to keep your blood ph normal make the rest of your body more acidic alzheimer is say to be cause from an acidic brain chinese medicine if your body fail to take enough calcium or magnesium or whatever else it need from cell elsewhere to normalize your blood your cell will mutate out of survival while regular cell need ton of oxygen cancer cell can live without oxygen oxygen actually kill cancer cell because the body want to live and thrive and be healthy cancer is the cell survival method not your bodys even your bone have fluid around they which contain cell and most likely that fluid is also acidic thus break down your bone without alkaline cell in the fluid of your body your body do not get the oxygen you need for your muscle your brain and your bone and your cell can not absorb important nutrient if your ph is not right your body spend all of its time try to normalize the ph in the blood rob from other part of your body where your body need it think about how tired your body is do that so go get some ph paper and start test your urine and or saliva first thing every morning for the good accuracy that is what I am do hug sarah,neutral,1
I when into the web site and look up my illness and though it talk about have cancer I do not have cancer but I still get the symptome that go along with it but because there is still a gland leave that they can not find because it is as small as the end of a safty pin and they can not find it but they teast I yearly for cancer because they are scared that some doy it could turn into cancer as lond as that parathyroid gland is leave in side of I I am send you the information that I find so if you want to read it you will beable to understand what I am try to fight through and pray thay I have the streangh to get through this sorry that it is so long but there is just so much information on how this illness is affect my health hypercalcemiaoverview an increase level of calcium in the bloodstream is most often a complication of cancer and is refer to as hypercalcemia of malignancy in its severe form hypercalcemia may be a life threaten emergency management of hypercalcemia may involve increase fluid intake as well as the use of diuretic and bisphosphonate drug what is hypercalcemia what cause hypercalcemia what are the sign and symptom of hypercalcemia how is hypercalcemia diagnose how is hypercalcemia treat what is hypercalcemia hypercalcemia is an increase level of calcium in the bloodstream this disorder is most commonly cause by malignancy call hypercalcemia of malignancy or primary hyperparathyroidism other cause of elevated calcium are less common and are usually not consider until it have been determine that neither malignancy nor parathyroid disease is present hypercalcemia of malignancy occur in approximately 10 of patient with advanced cancer the occurrence of hypercalcemia may rise as high as 40 in some type of cancer include breast lung and multiple myeloma what cause hypercalcemia hypercalcemia of malignancy have many cause it may be relate to the spread of cancer from its site of origin to bone in the body a process call metastasis cancer cell can spread or metastasize through the blood and lymph system a cancer cell may break away from the original location in the body and travel in the circulatory system until it gets lodge in a small capillary network in bone tissue cancer may also spread to bone from the adjacent cancer though this occur less frequently than spread by the blood stream bone metastasis result in injury to the bone tissue although bone appear to be the most static of all the tissue in the body it is actually very dynamic and active normal bone is constantly being remodel or break down and rebuild every week human recycle 5 to 7 of their bone mass as much as half a gram of calcium may enter or leave the adult skeleton each day one important function of bone remodeling is maintenance of blood calcium level calcium is necessary for many process in the body include contraction of muscle nerve function blood clotting and cell division only 1 of the calcium in the body is available in circulation for these function the other 99 is lock in the bone if blood calcium level drop calcium must be release from the bone through remodel in order to maintain important physiological function that require calcium in the case of hypercalcemia bone metastasis cause an imbalance between bone formation and bone resorption result in the release of excess calcium into the blood what are the sign and symptom of hypercalcemia sign and symptom of hypercalcemia may include nausea fatigue vomit lethargy stomach pain moodiness constipation irritability anorexia confusion excessive thirst extreme muscle weakness dry mouth or throat irregular heart beat frequent urination coma these many sign and symptom are commonly attribute to either the cancer treatment or the malignancy itself and may make it difficult for doctor to detect hypercalcemia of malignancy when it first occur this disorder can be severe and difficult to manage severe hypercalcemia is a medical emergency require immediate treatment how is hypercalcemia diagnose hypercalcemia may be diagnose with a blood test blood calcium level are test by take a small amount of blood from the patient with a needle the blood is collect in tube and send to a lab for evaluation normal blood calcium range from 8 5 to 10 5 milligram per decliliter mg dl of blood the normal range may vary slightly from lab to lab more than one test may be necessary to determine that blood calcium level are abnormally high in a person with cancer a high blood calcium level is consider a medical emergency and treatment should be start immediately how is hypercalcemia treat the good treatment for hypercalcemia due to cancer is treatment of the cancer itself however since hypercalcemia often occur in patient whose cancer is advanced or have not respond to treatment management of hypercalcemia is sometimes necessary treatment for hypercalcemia is base on a number of factor include the condition of the patient and the severity of the hypercalcemia increase fluid intake and the use of diuretic have been standard practice most recently bisphosphonate drug have become an effective approach hydration one of the primary treatment for hypercalcemia of malignancy is hydration which may consist of increase oral fluid intake or intravenous through a vein administration of fluid hydration help decrease the calcium level through dilution and cause the body to eliminate excess calcium through the urine for mild to moderate elevation of calcium patient are usually direct to increase oral fluid intake for acute hypercalcemia hydration with saline is immediately administer intravenously the rate of hydration is base upon the severity of the hypercalcemia the severity of dehydration and the ability of the patient to tolerate rehydration diuretic sometimes hypercalcemia of malignancy is treat with a diuretic the most commonly use diuretic furosemide lasixa a cause the kidney to produce more urine as a result the amount of free water in the body is reduce along with an increase in urine volume furosemide cause loss of calcium sodium and potassium furosemide is well tolerate however it is not free of side effect which may include dehydration low blood potassium and low blood sodium furosemide is available by intravenous administration as well as oral tablet intravenous method of administration is use to achieve an urgent effect oral tablet are use for maintenance oral tablet of furosemide are administer once or twice a day bisphosphonate drug recently bisphosphonate have become effective treatment for prevent the complication of bone metastasis include fracture relieve bone pain and hypercalcemia the goal of treatment for bone metastasis is palliative to relieve pain and risk of fracture and have historically consist of surgery radiation therapy and pain medication bisphosphonate drug a new approach to treatment for bone metastasis can effectively prevent loss of bone that occur from metastatic lesion reduce the risk of fracture and decrease pain bisphosphonate drug inhibit bone resorption or break down bone is constantly being a remodeleda by two type of cell osteoclast which break down bone and osteoblast which rebuild bone although the exact process by which bisphosphonate work is not completely understand it is think that bisphosphonate inhibit osteoclast and induce apoptosis cell death in these cell there is also evidence that these drug bind to bone thereby block osteoclastic resorption cancer cell release various factor that stimulate osteoclastic activity cause increased breakdown of bone by inhibit osteoclast bisphosphonate drug effectively reduce the detrimental impact that cancer cell have on bone density clinical trial have demonstrate the activity of two new bisphosphonate drug in cancer patient zoledronic acid zometaa a and pamidronate arediaa a bisphosphonate effectively prevent or delay bone destruction and related pain this activity have been demonstrate in clinical trial with multiple myeloma 1 and breast cancer 2 patient when compare treatment with chemotherapy plus pamidronate to chemotherapy alone patient receive pamidronate were less likely to experience complication relate to cancerous involvement of the bone such as fracture additionally patient receive pamidronate live long have a less need for radiation and surgical treatment and experience significantly less pain than those patient not receive the bisphosphonate zoledronic acid demonstrate the strong activity of these two bisphosphonate drug in a recent clinical trial zoledronic acid was show to be a safe and effective treatment in prostate cancer patient with bone metastasis compare to placebo zoledronic acid significantly reduce the proportion of patient who experience skeletal complication extend the time to first skeletal complication and significantly reduce the risk of skeletal complication over the course of this 15 month study 3 these result are notable because they show activity of zoledronic acid in blastic lesion in which extra bone have build up whereas previous trial have only show activity of bisphosphonate on metastasis in which the bone is weaken both zoledronic acid and pamidronate are administer intravenously but zoledronic acid provide a more convenient regiman for patient zoledronic acid is administer in a dose ten time low than pamidronate result in an infusion time that is significantly short 15 minute versus 2 4 hour for pamidronate in an effort to eliminate the need for intravenous administration research is aim at develop more effective oral bisphosphonate reference 1 jr berenson a lichtenstein l porter ma dimopoulos et al long term pamidronate treatment of advanced multiple myeloma patient reduce skeletal

common life threaten disorder that is associate with cancer it occur in 10 to 20 of cancer patient lung cancer breast cancer and multiple myeloma are the most prevalent malignancy associate with hypercalcemia the cause of hypercalcemia is when cancer spread to or invade the bone and when malignant cell release certain factor that cause calcium to be release from the bone this cause bone to break down fast than they are being rebuild result in an increase calcium release into the blood stream normally your kidney would eliminate excess calcium from your blood but with hypercalcemia the kidney can not keep up with the elimination process some physical sign to look out for when your blood calcium is too high would be tiredness confusion unstable gait constipation decrease appetite increase urination and bone pain if hypercalcemia is not diagnose it can lead to more serious complication like heart problem convulsion and even coma if you feel any of these symptom or if your

calcium level are this low the good option here is to stay well hydrated exercise and your doctor should follow your blood calcium level while you are undergo treatment for your cancer moderate to severe hypercalcemia correct total serum calcium 12 mg dl your doctor may prescribe some drug biphosphonate to stabilize the bone and prevent hypercalcemia pamidronate arediaa a and zolendronic acid zometaa a are the preferred drug for treat hypercalcemia and maintain blood calcium level these drug do not decrease calcium rapidly so other measure may be need to reduce calcium more quickly this may mean that you may have to be admit to a hospital for monitoring and drug therapy this therapy include a lot of intravenous fluid usually a saline solution along with a diuretic like furosemide lasixa a the diuretic should not be start however until you have been properly hydrate with the saline solution pamidronate or zolendronic acid may be use concurrently and then every month if need sometimes a drug call calcitonin is use to help low calcium until the biphosphonate start work around 2 to 4 day these drug are not available in oral form so they must be give intravenously other medication that are use to treat hypercalcemia are etidronate clodronate plicamycin and gallium nitrate however they are not as effective they have more side effect and they are not tolerate very well

this a re post this phenomenon only take place in less than 20 of drinker thiq tetrahydroisoquinoline for many year the medical community have been do expansive research on the biological complexity of the alcoholic but perhaps one of the most intriguing discovery was make quite by accident it all start down in houston texas with a medical scientist name virginia davis who was busy do cancer research for her study virginia need access to fresh human brain which as we know are not readily available virginia would ride along with the houston police on their early morning round as they patrol skid row collect the body of the street alcoholic who die overnight after take the temperature of the body virginia would rush the warm one back to the hospital where she could remove their brain for her cancer research one day virginia was in the hospital cafeteria talk to her colleague she begin tell they about some of the finding of her laboratory study and she say you know I never realize that all those wino use heroin as well as booze these were season emergency room doctor they just laugh at she come on virginia they tell she these guy do not use heroin they can barely afford a bottle of cheap muscatel virginia know she was onto something she have discover in the brain of those chronic alcoholic a substance that is very closely related to heroin this substance is call tetrahydroisoquinoline or thiq for short when a person use heroin the heroin break down in the system and one of the by product is thiq virginias mystery was how do this thiq get into the brain of these hardcore alcoholic to well understand all of this we will need a small lesson in biochemistry when the normal adult drinker take in alcohol it is process at about one drink per hour the body first convert the alcohol into something call acetaldehyde a very toxic substance that if accumulate would make one very sick or could be fatal the body is design via biological process to quickly rid itself of this toxic acetaldehyde it is change into acetic acid vinegar and then into carbon dioxide and water which is dispel through the kidney and lung that is what happen in a normal drinker it also happen with the alcoholic drinker but there is a p s as was discover by virginia davis in the alcoholic a very small amount of acetaldehyde is not eliminate instead it go to the brain where through a very complex biochemical process it is transform into thiq here is a little information about thiq first thiq is create in the brain and it only occur in the brain of the alcoholic drinker it do not and can not happen in the brain of the social drinker second thiq have been find to be highly addictive it was use experimentally with animal during wwii when doctor were look for a pain killer less addictive than morphine thiq turn out to be an excellent pain killer but its addictive quality far exceed that of morphine the third fascinating item about thiq also have to do with addiction an experiment use alcohol avert rat and thiq was conduct these rat when put into a cage with a very weak solution of vodka and water will refuse to drink it to the point where they will thirst to death take the same rat and inject a minute quantity of thiq into its brain and the animal will immediately develop an intense preference for alcohol over water so with one small injection of thiq the rat breed to refuse alcohol have become an alcoholic rat other study have been do with monkey a very close relative to human in medical term what have been learn is that once thiq is inject into a monkey brain it stay there you can keep a thiqed monkey dry off alcohol for as long as seven year and when the monkey is sacrifice and his brain is examine the thiq is still there for a long time specialist in the alcoholism field have suspect what these laboratory finding verify specialist have notice for year that through the exploration of an alcoholic family history there is inevitably evidence of alcoholism within say family in virtually all case of alcoholism there is a family predisposition an abnormality in the body chemistry toward the manufacturing of thiq we know alcoholic do not intend to make thiq when they start drink and become addicted to alcohol they do not mean for their brain to manufacture something strong than morphine they have been warn about the evil of narcotic but they have hear a great deal less about the power and potential of alcohol most people take a drink now and then and accord to a study do by the national institute on drug abuse 92 of high school senior have have experience with alcohol 67 are current user 1987 within our society alcohol consumption is not just accept behavior it is expect unfortunately the alcoholic to be are not equip to process alcohol in the normal way they are unaware of their predisposition toward the thiq production their brain chemistry have inherit most people do not know anything about this condition until fairly recently so the alcoholic to be innocently start drink moderately in the beginning maybe a few drink on the weekend as their drinking progress they might get seriously drunk two or three time a year no real life problem seem to have develop during all these drinking episode the brain is busy make a little cache of thiq at some point maybe soon or later the alcoholic will cross over that shadowy line into a whole new alcoholic way of life medical science still can not predict with accuracy how much thiq an individual brain will stockpile before the big event happen some people cross the line in their teen other in their 30 40 50 or later but once it happen the alcoholic will be as hook on alcohol as he would have been hook on heroin if he would been shoot that up instead for very similar chemical reason as dismal as this picture may appear there is good news alcoholism is a disease and is arrestable and highly treatable alcoholism is neither the alcoholic fault nor his choice today alcoholic can get proper treatment for their disease and that treatment begin when the alcoholic patient begin to get the fact on their disease these fact when properly present can begin to alleviate some of the massive guilt that consume the alcoholic treatment can begin to replace the guilt with a sense of the need for the alcoholic to become responsible for himself and accountable for his her action through quality treatment with knowledgable care professional the alcoholic can put himself herself on the path of recovery with the help of other and a strong support system he she can live a healthy fruitful life that is the good news for all of we for the alcoholic and their significant other it is the good news they can ever wish for andrew

as seven year and when the monkey is sacrifice and his brain is examine the thiq is still there for a long time specialist in the alcoholism field have suspect what these laboratory finding verify specialist have notice for year that through the exploration of an alcoholic family history there is inevitably evidence of alcoholism within say family in virtually all case of alcoholism there is a family predisposition an abnormality in the body chemistry toward the manufacturing of thiq we know alcoholic do not intend to make thiq when they start drink and become addicted to alcohol they do not mean for their brain to manufacture something strong than morphine they have been warn about the evil of narcotic but they have hear a great deal less about the power and potential of alcohol most people take a drink now and then and accord to a study do by the national institute on drug abuse 92 of high school senior have have experience with alcohol 67 are current user 1987 within our society alcohol consumption is not just accept behavior it is expect unfortunately the alcoholic to be are not equip to process alcohol in the normal way they are unaware of their predisposition toward the thiq production their brain chemistry have inherit most people do not know anything about this condition until fairly recently so the alcoholic to be innocently start drink moderately in the beginning maybe a few drink on the weekend as their drinking progress they might get seriously drunk two or three time a year no real life problem seem to have develop during all these drinking episode the brain is busy make a little cache of thiq at some point maybe soon or later the alcoholic will cross over that shadowy line into a whole new alcoholic way of life medical science still can not predict with accuracy how much thiq an individual brain will stockpile before the big event happen some people cross the line in their teen other in their 30 40 50 or later but once it happen the alcoholic will be as hook on alcohol as he would have been hook on heroin if he would been shoot that up instead for very similar chemical reason as dismal as this picture may appear there is good news alcoholism is a disease and is arrestable and highly treatable alcoholism is neither the alcoholic fault nor his choice today alcoholic can get proper treatment for their disease and that treatment begin when the alcoholic patient begin to get the fact on their disease these fact when properly present can begin to alleviate some of the massive guilt that consume the alcoholic treatment can begin to replace the guilt with a sense of the need for the alcoholic to become responsible for himself and accountable for his her action through quality treatment with knowledgeable caring professional the alcoholic can put himself herself on the path of recovery with the help of other and a strong support system he she can live a healthy fruitful life that is the good news for all of we for the alcoholic and their significant other it is the good news they can ever wish for andrew eisenhauer this article was base on the writing of dr david l ohlm from his book the disease concept of

as nurse we are dependent on the patient to describe and rate the sensation generally we ask patient to explain their breathlessness in term of mild moderate or severe dyspnea may prevent people from do something they normally do with ease say knoop that is why we often ask patient to describe how their dyspnea affect their daily life and their quality of life to help you talk with your doctor or nurse about dyspnea it may help to keep track of how it affect you keep a journal of when you have it what make it well and what make it bad how can dyspnea be treat treatment of dyspnea is usually

seem to benefit more from practice this technique however its application during exercise do not improve blood gas its effectiveness during exertion need further research body position relief of dyspnea is often experience by patient in the forward lean position a body position commonly adopt by patient with lung disease the benefit of this position seem unrelated to the severity of airway obstruction change in minute ventilation or improved oxygenation however the presence of hyperinflation and paradoxical abdominal movement were indeed relate to relief of dyspnea in the forward lean position forward lean is associate with a significant reduction in emg activity of the scalene and sternomastoid muscle an increase in transdiaphragmatic pressure and a significant improvement in thoracoabdominal movement from these open study it was conclude that the subjective improvement of dyspnea in patient with emphysema was the result of the more favorable position of the diaphragm on its length tension curve in addition forward lean with before midday support allow accessory muscle pectorali minor and major to significantly contribute to rib cage elevation in summary the forward lean position have been show to improve diaphragmatic function and hence improve chest wall movement and decrease accessory muscle recruitment and dyspnea in addition accessory muscle contribute to

we are enter a period of personalized medicine where assessment of a person medical history and genetic background will impact treatment it was not always like this 20 year ago the treatment was surgery for stage 1 chemotherapy for stage 4 and would be basically the same at a local hospital as a major research facility today important variation are see base upon the cancer type squamous cell adenocarcinoma cellular issue egfr alk positive smoking history and other factor the goal is obviously to increase your chance of get the right treatment have the great chance of work here are my thought 1 adenocarcinoma a great number of adeno patient have cellular mutation such as egfr epidermal growth factor receptor and alk and the adeno patient will want to check new treatment 2 egfr positive tarceva is an important drug for egfr positive patient show an impressive 60 response rate adeno patient non smoker and light former smoker less than 15 pack year year smoke x pack per day are more likely to be egfr positive 3 alk positive crizotinib is an important drug for alk positive patient who are likewise more likely to be non smoker or light former smoker with adenocarcinoma alk and egfr are generally mutually exclusive combine they show a substantial percentage of non smoker will have one of these mutation and testing make sense to get the right target treatment 4 squamous cell patient smoker and alk or egfr fairly heavy smoker and those with squamous cell tumor are less likely to be egfr positive or alk positive that lead to the question of whether they should be test and whether insurance will pay for it study of crizotinib show a few patient who were smoker or have squamous cell tumor and similar result with see with tarceva egfr 5 testing one question is how intrusive is the testing the good way to get tissue is through a biopsy but that carry risk as significant surgery less but still intrusive is a bronchoscope which involve secure tissue with local anesthesia and a small sampling some have study test through unintrusive method if testing can be do without risk it make sense to get a more complete profile 6 moderate and heavy smoker and particular mutation smoker are more likely to have the kras mutation and cox 2 mutation kra and egfr are at the opposite end and one generally have one but not the other anti cox 2 drug include celebrex and the withdraw drug vioxx while vioxx may pose some long term risk for heart issue if it can play a role in attack cancer that may be worth long term potential risk at least with advanced lung cancer 7 anecdotal evidence it is tempting to look at someone else treatment and say if it work for they perhaps it will work for I however if the genetic profile and drug efficacy vary it may be compare apple and orange thus it is tough to use the 60 response rate of tarceva for egfr positive patient primarily non smoker and light former smoker as a basis for use the drug for egfr negative smoker who have a response rate in the 9 10 range some have justify tarceva base upon its capacity for disease stabilization and symptom relief while these are potentially important criterion they create a risk of have datum misinterpret or even manipulate those advocate testing and personalize evaluation can be on the opposite end of drug company who for marketing reason may want to suggest the wide possible market for their drug 8 second line treatment and personalized evaluation target treatment may become ineffective as the tumor restore its aberrant signal for egfr positive patient the t790 and meet mutation can make tarceva ineffective new drug are being develop to combat resistance and restore effectiveness 9 source goodle scholar and pub med contain almost all medical abstract and many full article it make sense to research alternative if possible 10 approach with physician in my view the patient or family advocate can have an important role with research outside a major research facility a general oncologist may see 100 type of cancer and can not be familiar with every new research development if he see 25 patient per day one do need to be respectful and properly deferential not you forget to mention this important drug I find on the internet but can I ask you about this particular drug 11 overall cure perhaps a drug will be develop to combat all type of lung cancer or even all type of cancer for many that is unlikely and we see continue research as identify particular characteristic for treatment of certain type and subtype of lung cancer and address part of this disease,neutral,1

involuntary smoking or passive smoke non smoker who breathe in secondhand smoke take in nicotine and other toxic chemical just like smoker do the more secondhand smoke you are expose to the high the level of these harmful chemical in your body why is secondhand smoke a problem secondhand smoke cause cancer secondhand smoke is classify as a know human carcinogen cancer cause agent by the us

expose to secondhand smoke are also at increase risk of have low birth weight baby secondhand smoke may be link to breast cancer whether secondhand smoke increase the risk of breast cancer is an issue that is still being study both mainstream and secondhand smoke contain about 20 chemical that in high concentration cause breast cancer in rodent and we know that in human chemical from tobacco smoke reach breast tissue and are find in breast milk but a link between secondhand smoke and breast cancer risk in human study is still being debate this is partly because breast cancer risk have not been show to be increase in active smoker one possible explanation for this is that tobacco smoke may have different effect on breast cancer risk in smoker and in those who are expose to secondhand smoke a report from the california environmental protection agency in 2005 conclude that the evidence regard secondhand smoke and breast cancer is consistent with a causal association in young woman this mean that the secondhand smoke act as if it could be a cause of breast cancer in these woman the 2006 us surgeon general report the health consequence of involuntary exposure to tobacco smoke find that there is suggestive but not sufficient evidence of a link at this point in any case woman should be tell that this possible link to breast cancer is yet another reason to avoid being around secondhand smoke secondhand smoke kill child and adult who do not smoke and make other sick surgeon general report the 2006 us surgeon general report reach some important conclusion secondhand smoke cause premature death and disease in child and in adult who do not smoke child expose to secondhand smoke are at an increase risk of sudden infant death syndrome sid acute respiratory infection ear problem and more severe asthma smoking by parent cause breathe respiratory symptom and slow lung growth in their child secondhand smoke immediately affect the heart and blood circulation in a harmful way over a long time it also cause heart disease and lung cancer the scientific evidence show that there is no safe level of exposure to secondhand smoke many million of americans both child and adult are still expose to secondhand smoke in their home and workplace despite a great deal of progress in tobacco control the only way to fully protect non smoker from exposure to secondhand smoke indoor is to prevent all smoking in that indoor space or building separate smoker from non smoker clean the air and ventilate building can not keep non smoker from being expose to secondhand smoke where is secondhand smoke a problem you should be especially concerned about exposure to secondhand smoke in these 4 place at work the workplace is a major source of secondhand smoke exposure for adult secondhand smoke meet the standard to be classify as a potential cancer cause agent by the occupational safety and health administration osha the federal agency responsible for health and safety regulation in the workplace the national institute for occupational safety and health niosh another federal agency also recommend that secondhand smoke be consider a possible carcinogen in the workplace because there are no known safe level they recommend that exposure to secondhand smoke be reduce to the low possible level secondhand smoke in the workplace have been link to an increase risk for heart disease and lung cancer among adult non smoker the surgeon general have say that smoke free workplace policy are the only way to do away with secondhand smoke exposure at work separate smoker from non smoker clean the air and ventilate the building can not prevent exposure if people still smoke inside the building an extra bonus other than protect non smoker is that workplace smoking restriction may also encourage smoker to quit in public place everyone can be expose to secondhand smoke in public place such as restaurant shopping center public transportation school and daycare center some business seem to be afraid to ban smoking but there is no proof that go smoke free is bad for business public place where child go are a special area of concern at home make your home smoke free may be one of the most important thing you can do for the health of your family any family member can develop health problem relate to secondhand smoke child are especially sensitive

august 27 2007 will forever be etch into my mind not only was it my mom 63rd birthday but I have just find out my mom patty gottlieb have stage iv lung cancer nsclc and of course I was beyond devastate she assume it was stage 3 which can still be cure and was so excited by the news the thoracic surgeon nurse say kerri your mom do not ask what stage it was so I do not tell she she will find out soon enough I call my father and we along with my brother decide to let the doctor tell she when we go for the next appointment it was the hard few day of my life not being able to share my agony and profound devastation with the one person who always understand my mom from my limited knowledge on the subject I was sure her death was imminent we would lose she in a few month and I know I would not be able to handle that she is one of my good friend both of my brother have kid but I just got marry 3 year ago my husband and I were plan to start have kid next year cause there was not any rush all of a sudden all I could think of was oh my god my child will never know the most amazing woman mother wife grandmother and friend that I have ever know and that was just unacceptable to I but then I remember two very important thing she and my father always teach we kid knowledge is power and you must be your own advocate she was mine when I was in sloane kettering at age 12 after experience pain and other symptom and being tell by our orthopedist that it was grow pain my parent do not just ignore my complaint and eventually we end up at sloane kettere the doctor at sloane find a tumor in my tibia bone they were sure it was bone cancer and all the test show it have spread but when they do a biopsy they find the tumor and remove it instead after test and find only some malignant cell they were shocked and could not explain why it have not so I am a case at the mayo clinic for the unexplained medical phenomena one thing they were sure of though was that if my mom have not persist on my behalf I would have definitely lose my leg if not my life the only scar I have is about an inch and look like a shaving scar crazy right so I go into researcher mode and find a ton of information through some great book website booklet article and support group so when she do find out 4 day later that her cancer could go into remission but would never be cure I was ready I show her story of people with her same illness that now have been live for 5 10 even 15 year with stage iv lung cancer she say the great gift I give she that day was hope so when my family and friend especially my mom and dad tell I how amazing I have been in help she it is only because she teach I how and because of the lung cancer alliance support board I remember that doctor are great and statistic are fine but doctor do not know everything and statistic are just number you must have faith if you believe you ll get well and fight for it I think you can definitely beat the odd and that is what I am pray for not only for my little patty a nickname since she is 5 foot and I am 58 laugh out loud but for everyone with cancer and also everyone at memorial sloane kettering cancer hospital in new york city have been so truly amazing throughout everything from her initial diagnosis to even make sure the insurance company pay the bill it is about 6000 just for each chemo treatment crazy right we think about go to the sloane kettering facility mercy hospital or one of the other long island facility but hear mixed review I pull aside the head nurse of the chief of thoracic surgery at sloane in new york city and ask she if it was her mom would she trek all the way in to the city or go the easy route and stay close to home she say without a doubt she would trek to the city to give she mom the good care with the good specialist my parent brother and I all agree and we take turn go in whenever possible but for the most part it is I my hubby mike who have turn out to be not so amazing and my parent it is been tough because she recently break her ankle and now is in bed with a cast my dad and I do pretty well most day but it is hard when we get overwhelmed I try to remember how my mom must feel she is always been so strong and independent I can not fathom how out of control she must feel it really do give you an amazing feeling help other especially love one I finally understand why people donate so much of their time to great cause it feel great to give back you almost get more out of it than those you help,negative,0

and the pain of grieve my husband sudden and unexpected death I get a phone call the other day from a man who is work as a researcher for an attorney who is handle a case for a woman who s husband work at the same shipyard as my husband in the process of gather information for her case they have discover that at least 4 man if not more die in the same year as my husband die at the same work place I am get the impression that they are try to connect these death with a common cause that the shipyard might actually be responsible for I am wait to see after the attorney hear what the guy who is research this case turn in his report of his interview with I if I hear from he or not if I do not hear from he I will be call he sometime this week to find out more detail as to what this is all about and where he might be head with this information I do not think that after all this time it would bother I so much to sit down and discuss all of the detail surround my husband death but now it have I wonder if they are consider this as some kind of wrongful death sort of thing and the very thought of such a thing have pretty much open this wound of lose he wide open again there were so many unanswered question at the time of his death that I think I would never know the answer to and have decide to just let go of instead of spend the rest of my life wonder about the why s and what ifs that were drive I crazy and now they are hint that all of these other man die of lung cancer relate circumstance have to do with the unsafe welding rod and defective respirator this would certainly fill in many of the blank that I could not before it is just hard to have to go through all of this again but now I am wonder all over again what in the hell happen that he die the way he do so fast from what I think at the time was only the flu if his immune system was compromise in some way that he go downhill so fast from what seem to be the flu it is just a little more than I can handle right now the ironic part is that the er doctor have pull I into a room and show I his x ray the day I bring he to the er and point out a spot on his right lung that he specifically say he venture to guess was lung cancer but at the time I assume if it was it was because he was a smoker I would never have think it was anything that could have been work relate at the time he go to the er on thursday afternoon and die the next morning less than 24 hour later,negative,0

copd is associate with several comorbiditie traditionally comorbidity is define as a disease coexist with the primary disease of interest in copd this definition is slightly problematic since certain coexist illness may be a consequence or may present a causal association with copd the most common comorbiditie describe in association with copd are hypertension diabetes heart failure ischaemic heart disease cancer osteoporosis depression and anemia copd comorbiditie should be consider when estimate the social and economic burden of the disease these comorbid disease clearly affect health outcome in copd in fact copd patient are think to mainly die of non respiratory disorder such as cancer or cardiovascular disease although it is difficult to determine the underlying cause of death among patient with multiple disease especially when a common risk factor such as tobacco use is involve in arecent study it was show that in copd patient treat with long term oxygen therapy comorbiditie were one of the predictor of all cause and respiratory mortality moreover comorbiditie are associate with a high risk of hospitalization and are one of the strong predictor of increase cost in copd clinical practice guideline seem to ignore the fact that most patient with copd quite often have additional comorbiditie the increase recognition of the role of comorbiditie in copd have make all cause mortality a paramount end point for the evaluation of novel therapy the two recently publish large copd trial torch towards a revolution in copd health and uplift understand the potential long term impact on function with tiotropium are example of how copd study have change because of comorbiditie a recent evaluation of the usa national hospital discharge survey analyze more than 47 million hospital discharge for copd that occur in the usa from 1979 to 2001 in adult great than 25 year of age the prevalence and in hospital mortality were great in hospital discharge with copd mention as a primary or secondary diagnosis versus those that do not mention copd specifically a high rate of in hospital mortality for pneumonia hypertension heart failure and thoracic malignancy was associate with a hospital diagnosis of copd copd is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease strong epidemiological evidence point to reduce fev1 as a marker for cardiovascular mortality in a longitudinal population base study include patient from the nhane I it was show that patient with poor lung function have the high risk of cardiovascular mortality10 this association of decrease lung function and increase cardiovascular mortality is far support by other study such as the copenhagen city heartstudy the underlie mechanism link copd to atherosclerosis ischemic heart disease and stroke are not fully elucidated persistent systemic low grade inflammation is believe to be one of the central event lead to plaque formation under normal condition the human endothelium do not support leukocyte adhesion which is the building block of plaque genesis however in an inflammatory state such as copd the endothelium overexpresse surface adhesion molecule that allow circulate white blood cell to adhere to damage endothelial surface and accordingly trigger inflammatory reaction exaggerated subclinical atherosclerosis have been find in smoker with airflow obstruction compare to control smoker and control non smoker without airflow obstruction impair vascular reactivity is an important factor in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease and endothelial function seem to be significantly impair in patient with stable copd it have been show that arterial wall stiffness which relate to cardiovascular risk is increase in patient with copd compare to smoking control subject and healthy subject these finding suggest that copd may result in endothelial dysfunction which may be a mechanism for the enhanced cardiovascular risk in copd moreover in another study systemic arterial wall stiffness was associate with emphysema as assess by ct scan moreover in a recent study in a greek cohort of copd patient without cardiovascular comorbiditie the presence of emphysema in highresolution ct scan was relate to increase systemic oxidative stress and fibrinogen these finding indicate that mechanism involve in airway wall destruction and emphysema may also produce increase cardiovascular risk in patient with copd mortality due to copd continue to rise whereas mortality relate to cardiovascular disease appear to decline this is partly due to the widespread use of preventive therapy that have been show to reduce cardiovascular mortality accordingly a question arise whether appropriate use of such therapy could have a similar impact on copd mortality statin therapy may provide a new therapeutic option in copd statin which are mainly use as lipid lower agent for treatment of metabolic syndrome have been show to exert both local lung and systemic anti inflammatory and antioxidant effect statin treatment was associate with a slow rate of decline in fev1 in elderly subject this was support by further retrospective study use large database that have show an effect of statin on mortality of copd patient randomize control clinical trial are clearly warrant to assess whether these finding can be confirm prospectively thus provide a new treatment for these patient similarly drug use to treat respiratory disease could have beneficial effect in cardiovascular disease an intriguing finding raise from a post hoc analysis of the european respiratory society study on copd euroscop was that long term inhale corticosteroid ic although not effective in reduce the long term rate of decline in fev1 they lower the incidence of ischemic cardiac event in patient with mild copd this finding was far support by other retrospective database study clearly show that ic may reduce systemic inflammation in patient with copd there is a clear link between copd and lung cancer independently of active smoking there is grow evidence that chronic inflammation may play a salient role in the pathogenesis of lung cancer at the molecular level activation of nuclear factor nf kb transcription factor may have major relevance for both cancer and copd there are study suggest that nf kb activation in the airway of copd patient cause chronic inflammation and increase the risk of lung tumour development an analysis of 22 year follow up datum from 5402 participant from the first national health and nutrition examination survey nhane I include a total of 113 case of lung cancer reveal an inverse correlation between lung cancer risk and the degree of airflow obstruction copd is also associate with osteoporosis in up to 70 of patient and is relate to several underlying mechanism include malnutrition sedentary life smoke steroid treatment and systemic inflammation the prevalence of osteoporosis is increase in more severe disease and both osteoporosis and osteopenia are invariably present in patient with low body mass index and fat free mass moreover copd have been recently recognize as an independent risk factor for the identification of osteoporosis in man anemia have been show to be an independent risk factor for reduce functional capacity and increase mortality in copd in a retrospective analysis of hemoglobin level in a cohort of 683 copd patient anemia was present in 70 of patient and polycythemia in 6 depression represent another frequent comorbidity in copd patient especially due to the fact that they often face major physical impairment and chronic dyspnea patient with severe disease are in even great risk of develop depression the treatment of depression in copd patient is important as it far diminish the functional performance of individual patient and is associate with impaired quality of life massive evidence suggest that clinical feature of copd and airflow limitation are poorly correlate so that a more comprehensive approach is need it is clear that prognostic tool that well capture comorbiditie demonstrate superior performance that do fev1 alone the bode index body mass index airflow obstruction dyspnoea and exercise capacity is a multidimensional instrument that was find to predict prognosis of copd patient well than fev1 in fact the bode index was more effective in predict copd all cause and respiratory mortality than fev1 alone this indicate that it is important to evaluate globally each individual patient when assess copd prognosis beyond the goldstandard fev1 measurement this global assessment definitely include comorbiditie since they may well interfere in the vicious circle of dyspnea and impaired exercise capacity of copd patient the causal relationship of copd and several comorbiditie is not clear do comorbiditie make patient more susceptible to the consequence of copd do copd increase their susceptibility to these comorbiditie or is it a combination of both definitely more work is need to establish the potential mechanism and causal pathway that link comorbiditie and copd,neutral,1
hi I am new to this group but have been on ds since oct 2009 mainly the pulmonary embolism group I quit for good on 10 31 2009 after discover I have a clot in my lung I must have make about fifty attempt in the year previous I go through two 170 piece box of nicorette but that s it the blood clot was the last straw it was then I know I have to quit anyway my good friend is still smoke and I live with he as well his father die of lung cancer in aug of last year I would like to encourage he to quit but do not would not to sound self rightous he know that smoking will most likely kill he if he refuse to quit he is a big time procrastinater and I do not know of anything that would jar he into action he wait until the last minute to do anything but this is not something he can put off forever I almost die from a clot in my lung which was most likely due to my smoking yet nothing seem to phase he any advice would be appreciate especially since I am have to breathed his second hand smoke,negative,0

just a brief synopsis my father in law was diagnose with stage 4 lung cancer this past september he have been experience severe back leg pain for a few month and an mri discover a mass grow near his spine further test lead to the cancer diagnosis he start chemo in october the chemo was do a good job of keep the cancer at bay but he was feel horrible he sleep a lot lose all his hair and have trouble eat because nothing taste good to he after six round he was start on a light chemo regimen his hair start grow back in and he have been able to lead a more productive life go fishing do yard work tinker in the garage and so on but the cancer is start to grow a bit especially in his adrenal gland my fil have another ct scan cancer have grow a little bit more the dr tell he that he can either continue do chemo try this pill I forget the name that is for lung and pancreatic cancer patient or sign up for a clinical trial my fil have been adamant about not participate in a clinical trial so he is go to try the pill even though some of the side effect are a little scary apparently people who take this pill can and should break out in a rash if they do not the pill is not work anyway it is really upsetting for I to know that my fil is run out of option I mean we ve know from the get go that this cancer would not be curable but it is still so difficult to wrap my brain around the fact that the year that they give he is almost up I keep pray that he will have lot of good day and when that is no long possible that he do not have to suffer through too many really bad day where my fil is concern I find myself really start to fear the unknown I worry about what his final day will be like I worry about how his death is go to impact my family especially my husband and our young child I try to take thing one day at a time but this weigh on my mind heavily,negative,0

lady so here where I am at right now I lose my 61 year old father I am 34 last week he lose his battle to lung cancer never smoke a day in his life he have thyroid cancer year ago and it have travel to his lung and begin to manifest back in september where his tumor begin spread he go through several procedure surgery and radiation he was officially diagnose with his lung cancer on 3 12 the doctor tell we 2 6 month we all know include my father what was lie in front of we my father was full of hope will and determination to make his day week and month the good he could he have his mind and humor in full gear he was dad except for the fact of being in the hospital and the inability to walk due to where the last tumor was lay on his spine we all enjoy time with he and vs versa my brother and I were work on detail to bring he home so he could die there my brother have even move up his wedding day to 3 29 so my father could be there then without warn just after have a wonderful weekend with he his oxygen decrease by 50 and we were tell he probably would not make it through the night we were all there at his bedside and he pass at 5 am on 3 25 this was 2 week after he was diagnose he never see my brother get marry he never make it home to die there and we all think we have at least a few more month with he so where I am now in process this whole thing is question why it is hard enough that he was diagnose with terminal cancer at such a young age but then why was he take from we so much soon than we all think how could we all be take and laugh with he one minute and the next he be go I would not see his smile or hear his laugh again I would not be able to hear he tell his silly joke or poke fun at our dog which for some crazy reason he love to do I would not hear he call I his nickname or say I love you there were day last week I was at peace with all this and now for the past few day I am have a hard time with the why question I know this is normal but can any of you who lose your dad share with I how you deal with all the phase of your grieve this is just so difficult I am strong for all those around I but then I collapse at time when I am alone a part of I die on 3 25 right along side my dad and I need to figure out the healthy way to approach deal with this while still try to move forward and have my life to live my husband and I have been try to conceive for a while now and I do not want to give up on that either just think I would ask for some advice thank lady you re the good,negative,0
august 27 2007 will forever be etch into my mind not only was it my mom 63rd birthday but I have just find out my mom patty gottlieb have stage iv lung cancer nsclc and of course I was beyond devastate she assume it was stage 3 which can still be cure and was so excited by the news the thoracic surgeon nurse say kerri your mom do not ask what stage it was so I do not tell she she will find out soon enough I call my father and we along with my brother decide to let the doctor tell she when we go for the next appointment it was the hard few day of my life not being able to share my agony and profound devastation with the one person who always understand my mom from my limited knowledge on the subject I was sure her death was imminent we would lose she in a few month and I know I would not be able to handle that she is one of my good friend both of my brother have kid but I just got marry 2 year ago my husband and I were plan on get a house and start have kid next year cause there was not any rush all of a sudden all I could think of was oh my god my child will never know the most amazing woman mother wife grandmother and friend that I have ever know and that was just unacceptable to I but then I remember two very important thing she and my father always teach we kid knowledge is power and you must be your own advocate she was mine when I was in sloane kettering at age 12 after experience pain and other symptom and being tell by our orthopedist that it was grow pain my parent do not just ignore my complaint and eventually we end up at sloane kettere the doctor at sloane find a tumor in my tibia bone they were sure it was bone cancer and all the test show it have spread but when they do a biopsy they find the tumor and remove it instead after test and find only some malignant cell they were shocked and could not explain why it have not so I am a case at the mayo clinic for the unexplained medical phenomena one thing they were sure of though was that if my mom have not persist on my behalf I would have definitely lose my leg if not my life the only scar I have is about an inch and look like a shaving scar crazy right so I go into researcher mode and find a ton of information through some great book website booklet article and support group so when she do find out 4 day later that her cancer could go into remission but would never be cure I was ready I show her story of people with her same illness that now have been live for 5 10 even 15 year with stage iv lung cancer she say the great gift I give she that day was hope so when my family and friend especially my mom and dad tell I how amazing I have been in help she it is only because she teach I how and because of the lung cancer alliance support board I remember that doctor are great and statistic are fine but doctor do not know everything and statistic are just number you must have faith if you believe you ll get well and fight for it I think you can definitely beat the odd and that is what I am pray for not only for my little patty a nickname since she is 5 foot and I am 58 laugh out loud but for everyone with cancer and also everyone at memorial sloane kettering cancer hospital in new york city have been so truly amazing throughout everything from her initial diagnosis to even make sure the insurance company pay the bill it is about 6000 just for each chemo treatment crazy right we think about go to the sloane kettering facility mercy hospital or one of the other long island facility but hear mixed review I pull aside the head nurse of the chief of thoracic surgery at sloane in new york city and ask she if it was her mom would she trek all the way in to the city or go the easy route and stay close to home she say without a doubt she would trek to the city to give she mom the good care with the good specialist my parent brother and I all agree and we take turn go in whenever possible but for the most part it is I my amazing hubby mike and my parent it is been tough because she recently break her ankle and now is in bed with a cast my dad and I do pretty well most day but it is hard when we get overwhelmed I try to remember how my mom must feel she is always been so strong and independent I can not fathom how out of control she must feel it really do give you an amazing feeling help other especially love one I finally understand why people donate so much of their time to great cause it feel great to give back you almost get more out of it than those you help,negative,0

hello all I am merely 19 year old but I certainly have not ever act my age which is good in that I am mature but bad in that I can not communicate with other my age very well hopefully this mean I will be able to communicate with the most of you since you are likely all old than I my father die from lung cancer due to his cigarette habit when I was only 16 my cat have since develop lung cancer due to second hand smoking and I am show symptom of cancer myself along with great amount of pain but I am no long insure and can not afford test I was once an abuser of percocet and vicoden I was put on the medication for unknown pain throughout my body I go from 5 mg to begin with to 60 mg a day I overdose on ultram once and that is when I begin to take control of my habit ultram is a non narcotic pain killer that work like percocet and vicoden but it much more dangerous and likely to harm you after take control I decide to try and help my fellow victim of addiction even while addicted I would give people advice not to use drug I take percocet vicoden ultram myristicin nutmeg which feel like 200 mg of percocet but later give I intense pain and confusion dextromethorphine which cause some pretty bad health problem luckily short term I was not your typical rebel youngster do drug and have anonymous sex or anything no I was an intellectual who have suffer depression for year and when I find something that could lighten the mental anguish I abuse it now I am in control and I give my mom my pill to distribute to I so that I can not abuse they even if I try have any of you become addicted to drug after being give pain killer for cancer if you are terminal and addicted you may feel like there is no reason to worry about it anyway I can tell you you need to face the end while you retain your personality pain killer are fine when use normally but use too much can deaden who you are and your family will not have memory of the real you when you pass on my father was take 200 mg of percocet a day and eventually morphine he was like a zombie half of the time he once ask my mom to kill he to end his pain he would never have say that with a straight head not nearly overdose on opiate I may have cancer and the bad part is not being able to find out but if I do I want to die with my mind as intact as it can be I would love it if you all those of you who are terminal would also remain intact the bad part was see the drug abuse turn my dad into a zombie he would wander the hall drool and bleed from fall give your family the real you to remember remember I am not against drug just drug abuse drug are fine when use in moderation and for good reason,negative,0

I do not even know where to begin and I am sure my story is go to come out somewhat convoluted but here it go I just join this support group last night because my boyfriend of 5 year die on wednesday afternoon in the end he was diagnose with terminal lung cancer which have spread to 4 other spot in his body to make a long story short my boyfriend was apparently aware that he have cancer and never tell anyone I was actually tell that he know he have cancer even before we meet which I am unsure is the truth or not in the final 6 8 month of his life I do suspect know something serious was go on and pressure he to see a doctor over and over again my bf continue to tell I that he was and that the doctor could not figure out the cause of his symptom even look back at the journal he have write here on ds from early september there was no obvious indication that he have any awareness of the fact that he have cancer we I continue to make plan for the future and to have the usual disagreement about why he do not want to get marry or why he would not make the commitment to do a permanent move to be with I yes our relationship was somewhat of a long distance one however in the past 3 year he was more with I and my family than in his own place he continue to travel to be with we my family up until the last few week of his life despite what I can only imagine would be immeasurable pain and the fact that all he do most of the time he was with we was sleep during his last visit he was definitely act much strange than usual throw money around talk about how he have leave I in his will and so on he also get one last sudden burst of energy to do some thing that he know would make I happy the last day he was here with I was dec 05 the next day after he return home he tell everyone include I that the reason for his sudden and massive weight loss was that he was try to commit slow suicide by not eat he also tell I in a round about way that he have lung cancer by state that there have been chest x ray do and the doctor discover a small spot on his lung which need to be check far he then stop take essential med that were prescribe for another illness completely hole himself up in his bedroom and wait to die I guess this was an easy out for he since any other way it would be discover that he have cancer I become very concerned and contact his brother who reluctantly go to check on he however after see he immediately take he to the hospital I do go to see he in the hospital and even then he was still in some denial and insistent that he was go to be with I for christmas once it was discover that he have tumor that they were go to check out I was immediately give the bum rush by his family and send packing although he decline really quickly in the ensue day my bf continue to ask why I was not with he when I call and ask other people why I was not there I am not certain why I was not tell the reason but his family decide that I was not to see he or be near he before his death I was give 5 minute to say good bye my child and grandchild never have a chance to say any good bye at all the situation was a bit nuts in the end and I feel like a little child who was tell she was bad and could not see her good friend any long rather than a 43 year old woman who was deeply in love with a 58 year old man I feel angry with he for not have prepare thing a bit well as well as for not being treat as a vital part of his life I love he and they just could not open their eye to see that I would have want nothing more than to be able to grieve openly along side his blood family however instead my family and I have only one another there is no one here console we for our loss,negative,0

risk factor for develop copd include environmental hazard such as cigarette smoke or work in environment that lung damage is likely to occur age most case of copd are diagnose after the age of 40 as this is a disease that progress slowly and genetic just like some people are able to smoke from the time they are 14 until they are 85 with no real ill effect other people find that after ten year of smoking they are face serious consequence genetic play a huge role in who is affect and who is spare I know this subject have come up time and time again but I feel it is something that should be push and push so I am go to push it one more time test can be run for patient experience copd symptom combine with a health history point to the likelihood for a clear diagnosis copd can often be diagnose before symptom begin with the use of a pulmonary function test a chest x ray an arterial blood gas analysis a sputum examination and a ct scan can usually reveal enough information to determine the condition of the lung complication can result from copd include high blood pressure chronic or frequent respiratory infection heart problem lung cancer and depression patient experience copd should follow the physician outline for treatment as closely as possible to decrease the risk of further illness there is no cure for copd treatment option focus in make the patient more comfortable and dispel any further damage to the lung the most important key factor to survive copd is smoke cessation medication that help open the airways pain medication and medication to help fight off infection are all part of the treatment plan however if the patient continue to smoke there is little chance that the physician will be able to do anything to prolong life or enhance the quality of life jame,neutral,1

from an email asparagus who know my mom have been take the full stalk can style asparagus puree it and take 4 tablespoon in the morning and 4 tablespoon later in the day she do this for over a month she is on chemo pill for stage 3 lung cancer in the pleural area and her cancer cell count go from 386 down to 125 as of this past week her oncologist say she will not need to see he for 3 month the article several year ago I meet a man seek asparagus for a friend who have cancer he give I a copy of an article entitle asparagus for cancer print in the cancer news journal december 1979 I will share it here just as it was share with I I am a biochemist and have specialize in the relation of diet to health or over 50 year several year ago I learn of the discovery of richard r vensal d d s that asparagus might cure cancer since then I have work with he on his project we have accumulate a number of favorable case history here are a few example case no 1 a man with an almost hopeless case of hodgkin disease cancer of the lymph gland who was completely incapacitate within 1 year of start the asparagus therapy his doctor were unable to detect any sign of cancer and he was back on a schedule of strenuous exercise case no 2 a successful businessman 68 year old suffer from cancer of the bladder for 16 year after year of medical treatment include radiation without improvement he begin take asparagus within 3 month examination reveal that his bladder tumor have disappear and that his kidney were normal case no 3 on march 5th 1971 a man who have lung cancer was put on the operating table where they find lung cancer so widely spread that it was inoperable the surgeon sew he up and declare his case hopeless on april 5th he hear about the asparagus therapy and immediately start take it by august x ray picture reveal that all sign of the cancer have disappear he is now back at his regular business routine case no 4 a woman have been trouble for a number of year with skin cancer she develop different skin cancer which were diagnose by the act specialist as advance within 3 month after begin asparagus therapy the skin specialist say her skin look fine with no more skin lesion this woman report that the asparagus therapy also cure her kidney disease which have start in 1949 she have over 10 operation for kidney stone and was receive government disability payment for an inoperable terminal kidney condition she attribute the cure of this kidney trouble entirely to the asparagus treatment I was not surprised at this result as the element of materia medica edit in1854 by a professor at the university of pennsylvania state that asparagus was use as a popular remedy for kidney stone he even refer to experiment in 1739 on the power of asparagus in dissolve stone note the date we would have other case history but the medical establishment have interfere with our obtain some of the record I am therefore appeal to reader to spread this good news and help we to gather a large number of case history that will overwhelm the medical skeptic about this unbelievably simple and natural remedy for the treatment asparagus should be cook before use fresh or canned asparagus can be use I have correspond with the two lead caner of asparagus giant and stokely and I am satisfied that these brand contain no pesticide or preservative place the cooked asparagus in a blender and liquefy to make a puree store in the refrigerator give the patient 4 full tablespoon twice daily morning and evening patient usually show some improvement in 2 4 week it can be dilute with water and use as a cold or hot drink this suggest dosage is base on present experience but certainly large amount can do no harm and may be need in some case as a biochemist I am convince of the old saying that what cure can prevent base on this theory my wife and I have been use asparagus puree as a beverage with our meal we take 2 tablespoon dilute in water to suit our taste with breakfast and with dinner I take mine hot and my wife prefer hers cold for year we have make it a practice to have blood survey take as part of our regular checkup the last blood survey take by a medical doctor who specialize in the nutritional approach to health show substantial improvement in all category over the last one and we can attribute these improvement to nothing but the asparagus drink as a biochemist I have make an extensive study of all aspect of cancer and all of the propose cure as a result I am convinced that asparagus fit in well with the late theory about cancer asparagus contain a good supply of protein call histone which are believe to be active in control cell growth for that reason I believe asparagus can be say to contain a substance that I call cell growth normalizer that account for its action on cancer and in act as a general body tonic in any event regardless of theory asparagus use as we suggest is a harmless substance the fda can not prevent you from use it and it may do you much good it have been report by the us national cancer institute that asparagus is the high test food contain glutathione which is consider one of the bodys most potent anticarcinogen and antioxidant just a side note in case you are wonder why this have not been make public there is real danger of cause a run on asparagus but how could that be a bad thing,neutral,1

I am a 65 year old former smoker I quit in 2003 I was diagnose with nsclc in novermber 2008 and have a right upper lobectomy on december 18 2008 I suffer a pulmonary embolus 3 day after surgery which set my recovery back quite a bit I was in the hospital for 13 day and in a rehab facility for another 10 day then send home on 24 hour oxygen I finally wean off the oxygen in march and go to my oncologist for a routine 3 month follow up visit after my lung surgery she say my tumor marker blood work was fine as was my x ray good news I ask she to look at my right boob surgery side because it was swollen and red and warm I suspect lymphedema silly I she immediately fly into a frenzy and say I have to see a surgeon have a mammogram ultra sound and mri immediately and that if this was what she think it was I would be in the chemo chair within the week she suspect inflammatory breast cancer which is aggressive and have a poor prognosis scare I to death I have all the test and see the surgeon that week the radiographic test were inconclusive and so was the surgeon they simply could not say one way or the other what it was just that it was abnormal the doctor put I on antibiotic to see if it get well in which case it might just be an infection I was on they for 28 day and do note improvement but not resolution the oncologist then say it could not be ibc because that do not get well but still no cause identify and symptom remain I do not do well in an I do not know state so I call and go to see the surgeon again and ask he what he would do at this stage if it were his wife he say he would recommend a tissue biopsy and removal of a knot that have develop in my incision line he suspect the knot might be a source of infection but in any case he want to know what this was so he could make a well decision about treat it I should mention that I have a urinary tract infection in the hospital in december then a superbug ecoli after I get home I develop strep a in my chest tube incision and in an old iv site so the potential for a persistent infection was there the biopsy procedure was do on 6 11 09 under twilight sedation due to my breathing issue and the result was no cancer hallelujah meanwhile I start pulmonary rehab at a comprehensive local health center and was in my 2d of 8 week when I experience the same kind of back pain I have when I have lumbar stenosis follow by a lumbar laminectomy and fusion of l 4 5 this time the pain was on the opposite side and pain pill do not relieve it I call the neurosurgeon and her nurse call in a dose pack of prednisone for I I begin that and get no relief the prednisone shoot my blood sugar up so I have to start on metformin for that my neurosurgeon after try I on vicodin have I get an mri thinking as I do that the problem was probably skeletal not in my wildest dream could I have imagine what it was it was a metastatic tumor on s1 or the sacral area of the low back the waiting worrying and now the pain are threaten to get to I I m now into my 9th month since the lung cancer diagnosis I was thankful that my lung tumor was find before any spread but it seem that the late tumor just do not show up before maybe it was too small I have to repeat all the nuclear scan again along with blood work and two more tumor were find one on l3 and another in my liver 8 cm I have now have radiation treatment on the sacral tumor compress the s1 nerve with no relief I have been on down the pain med road with percocet dilaudid and morphine with no relief I am now on a fentanyl patch with morphine for breakthrough pain and you guess it no relief normally such a dose of pain med would put I straight to sleep or at least have I wobble I am fully awake and not the least bit woozy I can sit or lie down without pain but I can not stand or walk for more than about two minute I start radiation on the l3 tumor on thursday and will complete that on july 15 I have have an infusion port place in my chest and I will begin chemotherapy on july 9 next week my breast is act up again with swell redness and warmth so the oncologist is now wonder whether lung or breast might be the primary site I think she is decide it is lung base upon the opinion of the pathologist who relooke at the lung tumor take out in december I keep say to myself the glass is half full and god is always good but as important as it is I am find it hard to be positive I know that I would have to get well to die so that is not a worry at this point but I have conclude that aging is not for sissy aside from the excruciate pain I really do not feel bad if it were not for the pain my activity level would probably be like it use to be however I know that my prognosis is not good I do not know how bad it is I am not really sure I want to know that I do know that I need support and I thank you in advance for that shelley,negative,0
I am new to this forum hope to find some advice as far as how to deal with a love one with hypochondria we have been together for 7 year and it have always been an issue intermittently it seem as though it is get bad with age he is 34 I know that his dad have prostate cancer but beat it however his uncle die from it a few year back he have a great uncle who apparently pass away from lung cancer in his 30 so needless to say cancer is his 1 illness he assume he have anytime there is any cough or stomach ache I have only suggest the possibility of hypochondria once via a link that I want he to read he read it reluctantly I feel that maybe he keep it in the back of his mind but he would not admit to have this illness I am as gentle as I can possibly be whenever he get on his I have this or that and I am probably go to die kick I do not tell he he is full of it I try to suggest much more likely scenario in the nice way possible but he just get angry that I am not take he seriously he is pretty stubborn with very high anxiety when he take xanax on rare occasion it do help however it is difficult to get he to take it as he work in a field that require he to be alert and 100 focus at all time the bottom line is I am not reach out selfishly because it is a pain in my rear to handle this on a regular basis I am reach out because it make he miserable I hate see he phone in hand look up symptom and worry needlessly that this is the day he will realize that he is go to die from something it take a lot of the joy out of his life and I fear that it will only get bad I love he to death and am here no matter what so if any of you have story on how you or a love one come to accept have hypochondria it would be very appreciated,negative,0

I know I smoke like a chimney but sometimes I wonder why I why do I get this dx and I really wonder why my sister who die having never smoke a day in her life so I ask my new pulmonologist this question my pulmonologist say not everyone that work in a mine will get black lung in fact in the coal mine the miner often do not get black lung but their wife will just like everyone that smoke do not get copd or lung cancer there is something in my body that is create this reaction so she is search for the gene that may cause it not necessarily a hereitarey gene I sign up for a study that is look for a gene or dna marker that predispose I to this obviously there are scientist doctor still wonder this same thing why this person I am involve in a 1st phase study look for genetic marker for pf ild disease and some day maybe they will know the answer to why I and once that is know they can work towards find help for people with it like they have find for the alpha1antitrypsin with copd so although I do not dwell on the why me it is nice to know that there are doctor researcher scientist that are look at the why I question,neutral,1

my cousin and bff was diagnose with lung cancer about 5 year ago she have chemo and radiation at that time she was tell she was clear and need to go back for a pet scan once a year at year four they see the cancer was back my cousin is 54 and weigh 86 pound at that time she have previously have a cancer on her tongue which require part of her tongue to be cut out and after that eating was very hard for she she was mostly get her nutrition through a feeding tube obviously she was not in the good of health even without the lung problem the hospital here tell she that there was nothing they could do and give she six month she is a fighter and was not go to give up so easily she go to the mayo clinic they remove part of her left lung it was a very long very intricate surgery but the surgeon say he feel it was the well possible outcome and although he would never say he get all the cancer after any surgery he feel pretty positive it was go she was send to a rehab home about 2 month or so after she get there her hemoglobin drop drastically they send she to the er she was admit and operate on she apparently have a horrible infection that have destorye what was leave of her left lung and was eat away at a vein the doctor try to fix it but pretty much say there was no hope the only thing we could pray for was for the blood to clot they still do not know my cousin she survive and was discharge back to the rehab home she have a drain in her back come from that bad lung so the infection could drain out everything was go wonderfully she was feel great and eat well than she have in year she was plan a day trip to go home and see her cat and just spend a day out of the rehab place at 4 00 in the morning right before she was go to go home for a day she turn over in bed and feel a gush out of the drain it was a mass of blood she go back to the hospital and they call we all in because she was not suppose to make it through the night they feel the infection have probably destroy another vein or something they say she have agree to comfort care that no measure beyond pain management would be take I know that was not my cousin I know she would not agree to that not if there was any hope at all they drug she up so much that night that there was no wake she at all the next day the hospice people come in and start talk to she about end of life thing she tell they she was not die yet and obviously have not understand what she supposedly agree to she ask if she have any treatment option they say they could give her blood transfusion but she would probably bleed it out as fast as it go in she say she want the transfusion again they do not know my cousin it was touch and go but she make it with only one transfusion the bleeding never completely stop but it slow to a point she could make it fast than it was go out she was set to be discharge know if she need a transfusion she could go back anytime the infection was still there but she was respond well to the antibiotic and once that was clear up she would be just fine but then she have a pain in her left side back so they do a ct scan the cancer is back she also have a fungus grow in that lung it is the left lung which I do not understand because they say the infection destroy it she is lose weight from all this which obviously she do not need to do she is weak although still surprise the hospital staff with what she can do I have to admit that I am feel defeat right now while everything that happen to this point have been a miracle survive the first surgery when they say she was way too weak because of her weight malnutrition and so on to live through it survive the second surgery and almost get rid of the infection survive the mega loss of blood all of it is a miracle but now we need a miracle that we would not be able to explain medically we just need the cancer to disappear there are no other option there is nothing more medically that can be do she would not survive any more surgery she would not survive chemo so they are go to take no medical treatment back to the comfort only treatment the cancer is a moderate sized nodule on the outside of the left lung where it connect to the heart that is what the doctor say the lymph node is swollen without a biopsy they can not tell if that is because of the cancer they would not do a biopsy because there is no reason to put she through that risk when whether or not it is cause by cancer do not matter at this point she have cancer there is no deny that the one thing we have not ask is how long I have want to ask but that is a question my cousin have to ask first she do not want to know so you do not know my cousin you do not know more than what I have been able to tell you here but you ve either been through it or are go through it right do she have a year a decade a day a month is there any way to tell still please pray for a miracle for my cousin it is not impossible,negative,0

tobacco free kid the report study numerous tobacco marketing campaign image from which can be find at www tobaccofreekids org deadlyinpink in read this report three conclusion seem inescapable say hill first the marketing campaign of the lead tobacco company have unfortunately been extremely effective second the management of these company have a complete disregard for the health of the woman and girl they are attempt to persuade to smoke their cigarette and third the inability of these company to voluntarily engage in safe and responsible behavior dictate that the fda must be give

as change in product and research about their health effect grant the fda authority to require change in new and existing tobacco product to protect public health such as the reduction or removal of harmful ingredient this legislation would not be necessary were it not for the tobacco industry long reprehensible and irresponsible history of target woman and girl with ad attempt to portray smoking

first off you need to understand the 2 stage of hep c understand the stage in hep c might help with the discission you make on weather to try the chemo treatment or go with the alternative medacine way let I try and help you understand the difference here it go there is an initial acute stage of hepatitis c and there is chronic hepatitis c acute hepatitis c may last approximately six month while many patient may have no symptom some patient may experience fatigue loss of appetite jaundice yellow of the skin and abdominal pain the abdominal pain may indicate that the liver have become swollen or tender as most patient are unable to fight off the hcv virus without intervention the disease then move on to the chronic stage chronic hepatitis c is of extremely long duration usually progress over a period of 10 to 30 year approximately 80 of the infected population will enter this stage where the disease may lead to cirrhosis liver cancer and liver failure in some case the disease is fatal to sum this all up a person who have have hep c for more than 6 month move into the cronic stage where the virus no long have a chance to clear on its own thus the only prove way to eradicate the virus is to do treatment once a person have moove from the acute stage to the cronic stage there are no herbal method that are prove to do what treatment can do which is help you reach an undetectable viral load so if anybody is in the acute stage I would suggest try alternative way before treatment but once you become cronic your only hope to clear the virus is the chemo treatment hope htis help some to understand take care all xoxox brave rabbit,neutral,1

liver biopsy indicate persistent inflammation and fibrosis in hcv antibody positive people with undetectable hcv rna december 2008 people who carry antibody indicate exposure to hepatitis c virus hcv

usually regard as a cure but hide hcv in the liver even in the absence of detectable virus in the blood may still lead to liver disease progression accord to a study publish in the december 2008 issue

the virus liver damage continue 10 dec 2008 treat patient who have chronic hepatitis c and advanced liver disease with long term pegylate interferon significantly decrease their liver enzyme viral level and liver inflammation but the treatment do not slow or prevent the progression of serious liver disease a study find these finding come from the clinical trial hepatitis c antiviral long term treatment against cirrhosis halt c and are report in the dec 4 issue of the new england journal of medicine halt c was fund by the national institutes of health nih with additional support from hoffmann la roche inc the result from halt c show without question that maintenance therapy with peginterferon do not prevent progression of liver disease among patient who have fail prior treatment say james everhart m d project scientist for halt c in the division of digestive disease and nutrition national institute of diabetes and digestive and kidney disease niddk the principal sponsor of halt c at nih these finding heighten the incentive to develop more effective drug for patient with severe liver disease due to hepatitis c peginterferon therapy for up to 48 week is standard for chronic hepatitis c but patient who do not have a sustain response to initial therapy have been give the drug over a long time base on study show that this approach suppress viral and enzyme level even if the virus is not completely eliminate however it was not know if long term therapy would improve important clinical outcome such as liver damage and death halt c a randomized multicenter trial of 1 050 patient with chronic hepatitis c who have fail prior treatment to eradicate the infection test whether long term treatment with peginterferon alfa 2a would reduce the development of cirrhosis liver cancer or liver failure the 517 patient randomize to the treatment before midday receive 90 microgram of peginterferon in weekly injection for 3 5 year the 533 patient in the control before midday undergo the same follow up and care as the treat patient include liver biopsy quarterly clinic visit and blood test all patient have advanced liver fibrosis a gradual scarring of the liver that put patient at risk for progressive liver disease and liver failure the outcome study in halt c were death liver cancer or liver failure and for those who do not have cirrhosis initially the development of cirrhosis at the end of the study 34 1 percent of the treat group and 33 8 percent of the control group have experience at least one outcome patient in the treat group have significantly low blood level of the hepatitis c virus and improvement in liver inflammation however there was no major difference in rate of any of the primary outcome between the group among treat patient 17 percent stop peginterferon after 18 month and 30 percent stop the drug after two year infection musculoskeletal or digestive problem were the most common reason for stop the drug accord to halt c study chair and principal investigator adrian m di bisceglie m d professor of internal medicine at saint louis university school of medicine in missouri look into how maintenance therapy work in non responder is an important step patient should not receive interferon as maintenance therapy for chronic hepatitis c however we can build on what was learn in halt c to identify well treatment that may delay or prevent liver damage in patient with advanced disease he say article adapt by medical news today from original press release the hepatitis c virus infect more than 100 million person worldwide and as many as 4 million in the united states hepatitis c rank with alcohol abuse as the most common cause of chronic liver disease and lead to about 1 000 liver transplant in the united

http healthyhepper com warning htm thing you need to know if you have hepatitis c or any liver disease 1 hcv threat from the ocean people with hcv should be aware of a bacteria call v vulnificus find in the gulf of mexico and other warm water it infect oyster and other shellfish pollution is not what cause the contamination in the shellfish so just avoid contaminate water is not enough of a precaution this bacteria can be in raw or undercooked fish but get this it is not enough for those with hcv to just avoid oyster sushi and lightly cook shellfish some of my personal favorite but this bacteria can infect open wound when a person go swimming in infect water humor okay so like my vacation I was plan in the gulf of mexico where I wade in the warm water after savor a raw oyster in my bloody mary and down a few deep fried shrimp and a double chocolate cheesecake is out doc bummer I am like so bum out dude I have hep c I have to find out what the other pleasure are in life right 2 hepatitis c re infection as if one dose of this virus is not enough usually we think about virus well I have have it so I can not get it again not in the case with hcv hepatitis c folk you can be re infect with the virus there are different genotype and you can even be re infect with the same genotype you already have is not that special no but in all seriousness if you become infected with hcv because of risky behavior or lifestyle use illegal drug and so on by all mean stop do not think well I already have it so what s the use or I already have hep c so what s get a tattoo go to do of course you want to take all precaution not to spread the disease but you also want to take these precaution for yourself the center for disease control state prior infection of hcv do not protect against re infection with the same or different genotype of the virus the point is no matter how you get the virus you must protect yourself as well as other from infection 3 raw shellfish for those with hcv no way eat raw or undercooked shellfish yes even from the ocean can be a serious danger and even cause death especially in people with liver disease a warning from a posting in the hepc bull comply by joan king on thehepcbc website the fda issue an advisory warning to high risk individual that would be we with chronic liver disease or weaken immune system urge they to avoid eat raw or partially cook oyster however the good news is you can eat shellfish cook however it is important to note that it is advise for people with hemochromatosis a condition involve iron overload are advise to avoid shellfish oyster completely due to iron in they see my special report on iron overload 4 hav vaccine get it hepatitis a and hepatitis c do not mix hepatitis a hav is not ordinarily a lethal disease although it can in some rare case cuase liver failure but if you already have hepatitis c hcv then hav can be deadly accord to an article by dan oneill hepatitis a and hepatitis c do not mix source it is highly recommend by many doctor to get the hav vaccine 5 vitamin a and hcv most source I look up about vitamin a say that excess vitamin a can be very toxic to the liver prescription for nutritional healing by james f balch m d say excessive amount of vitamin a over long period may cause liver enzyme to be elevate when ask my doctor what too much vitamin a would be he tell I meagadose beyond what any multivitamin would contain james f balch suggest anyone take over 50 000 international unit a vitamin a daily for over a year should reduce his or her intake or switch to natural beta carotene which should not have any side effect the typical dose in a multivitamin is 25 000 ius 6 mold aflatoxin and peanut do not mix with hcv to make a long and boring story short an aflatotoxin is a mold these are substance that grow on certain food especially nuts peanut store in hot and humid condition are especially prone to this this is one reason why some nutritionist advise hepatitis patient to avoid all nut mostly I have hear that peanut are to be avoid matthew dolan in his book the hepatitis c handbook write although many nutritionist appear to be unaware of the severe risk pose by aflatoxin in the diet particularly people who already have liver disease aflatotoxin are a definite dietary cofactor in the development of liver cancer he continue by explain that they are carcinogenic and they are a particular problem in peanut sum it up avoid all food that might potentially contain any trace of aflatoxin peanut food that have low level of it may not be a danger to the general population but they may present a small risk as cofactor to hcv in trigger the development of liver cancer and if you do eat nut do not eat discolor or damage nut of any kind or one that have been leave uncover for long period of time store they in a cool dry place to avoid contamination 7 mix alcohol pain reliever alcohol is a no no for your liver acetominophen aspirin paracetamol and ibuprofen can all be liver toxic and a have an impact on liver function the fda warn and require warning on over the counter pain reliever about the danger of mix alcohol and these various medication the combination can cause damage to the liver of people who do not have hep c so image what it can do to people who do have a chronic liver disease here is a simplistic but accurate conclusion alcohol is bad drug are bad mix they is really bad for those with hcv I could give you a bunch of scientific evidence and article and source but you do not need they for the general purpose here which is just to avoid what hurt you 8 aspirin acetaminophen ibuprofen paracetamol all these over the counter drug can have impact on liver function and potentially cause liver damage it is advise to not take any of these unless absolutely necessary persistent long tern use in contraindicate for people with hepatitis c if you have a condition that involve chronic pain and need a pain reliever on a regular basis it is good to consult your doctor about what would be safe in the hepatitis c help book by misha ruth cohen and robert gish it is advise although high dose of acetaminophen can be toxic to the liver it is still the safe pain remedy available if take in dose of less than 2 gram a day acetaminophen is tylenol,neutral,1

I receive google alert in my mail about fatty liver this is one article I receive today and its saddening to say myself I wish they put out warning and scare tactic to say this will happen and this will happen if you gain weight or take this med they have finally warn we about tylenol and how bad it is for the liver but back to the article it is post below liver line november 27 2009 write by david bernstein md facp facg friday 27 november 2009 10 51 fatty liver continue to be the most prevalent liver disease in america while affect more than 50 million americans most with this condition will have a benign course and will not develop significant liver disease a small percentage however will develop inflammation and scar in the liver in addition to just fat deposition when these finding are present they are indicative of more advanced liver disease and the condition is call non alcoholic steatohepatitis or nash nash can lead to cirrhosis and its complication include liver cancer and in certain circumstance a liver transplantation may be need as americans grow large and this condition increase in prevalence we can expect to see significantly great morbidity and mortality from this condition current estimate are that 2 4 percent of people with fatty liver will develop nash this mean that one to two million americans are at risk for develop cirrhosis and its complication from this condition how non alcoholic fatty liver develop remain unclear we do know that alcohol use lead to fat within the liver which can progress to cirrhosis in non drinker the mechanism is uncertain some theory revolve around insulin resistance however many non insulin resistant people develop nash the lead predispose factor to the development of nash appear to be diabetes and obesity people with these condition and abnormal liver test are more likely to progress to more advanced disease the real question that need to be answer is how good to treat nash the most commonly prescribe therapy for nash is diet exercise and weight loss although this regimen make overall good sense study have not show that mild weight loss alone change the course of fatty liver bariatric surgery with significant weight loss have been show to lessen fat within the liver and even reverse cirrhosis in some case many people with fatty liver are place on ursodeoxycholic acid to normalize the liver enzyme although this therapy is widely use the jury is still out regard its effectiveness many clinical trial with a handful of patient have not show promise with medication such as clofibrate a lipid lower agent and metformin and the thiazolidinedione diabetes medicine for the treatment of nash vitamin e have been use in the treatment of nash with some study show a small improvement in the amount of fat present a recent study present at the meeting of the american association for the study of liver disease in november 2009 show that daily vitamin e use at a dose of 800 mg a day for one year in non diabetic patient with nash result in less fat cell within the liver than comparator arm with pioglitazone or placebo there was no improvement in scar at the end of the year with vitamin e use the prevalence of nash is increase and unfortunately so will its complication the only way to stop this epidemic is to watch what we eat and hopefully not develop diabetes or obesity if nash occur diet and exercise remain the mainstay of therapy in the non diabetic patient with nash it seem reasonable to start vitamin e dr bernstein is the director of hepatology for the north shore long island jewish health system you may write to dr bernstein c o anton community newspaper 132 e second street mineola ny 11501 or email dbernste nshs eduthis e mail address is being protect from spambot you need javascript enable to view it disclaimer the view and opinion represent are those of the author and mean for informative purpose only for your specific question consult your physician,neutral,1

advance in the understanding and treatment of liver disease selection from acg 2008 highlight in liver disease introduction this year meeting of the american college of gastroenterology acg set the stage for the presentation of the late research finding in clinical gastroenterology and hepatology session focus on a wide range of topic include viral hepatitis fatty liver disease complication of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma hcc among other this report highlight some of the key datum relate to these area with a view toward the potential implication for clinical practice viral hepatitis hepatitis b myer and colleague 1 2 present the result of 2 study on the outcome of patient with hepatitis b virus hbv infection who undergo liver transplantation in the first study they compare the rate of posttransplant survival among 68 patient with hbv infection vs those of 342 patient without hbv infection 1 after a mean follow up of 4 5 year the survival rate in hbv infect patient who undergo liver transplantation was 90 compare with 83 in those without hbv infection other cause for transplant among the non hbv infect group the presence of diabetes was associate with poor survival among those patient with hepatitis b the presence of hcc appear to be the good predictor of poor outcome p 06 of course hcc is a major risk among person with chronic hbv infection liver transplantation is commonly perform for patient with hepatitis b and hcc although short term study reveal an excellent outcome long term datum are in short supply myer and colleague 2 report the result for 67 hbv infect patient without hcc who undergo liver transplantation and 31 patient with hepatitis b hcc although the 1 year survival was similar among the group 100 in the hbv infect patient without hcc 94 in the group with hepatitis b hcc after a median follow up of 4 9 year the survival rate were 88 and 56 respectively p 04 post transplant 7 patient have recurrent hcc and 3 die of metastatic hcc it is important that the tumor burden in many patient exceed current united network for organ sharing unos recommendation for transplantation for hcc take together these report document the excellent outcome for liver transplantation in patient with hbv infection and call for careful selection in such patient who have hcc hepatitis c it is not clear which factor influence the development of fibrosis in hepatitis c virus hcv infection assaf and colleague 3 extend previous observation about the lipid lower agent in the statin class they identify 276 hcv infected veteran who have liver biopsy and a complete dataset of the 22 patient receive statin 82 have stage 0 2 fibrosis compare with 61 of those not receive statin p 04 the odd of statin user have mild liver fibrosis was 3 4 95 confidence interval 1 11 10 9 additional study are need to confirm this observation low weight female sex hcv genotype 2 or 3 white race and recent onset of infection favor a high likelihood of achieve a sustained virologic response svr undetectable hcv rna 6 month after the end of treatment to antiviral treatment with combination pegylate interferon ribavirin hanouneh and colleague 4 review record of chronic hepatitis c patient treat at the cleveland clinic and find that the follow factor correlate with decrease response metabolic syndrome non white race advanced fibrosis and hcv genotype 1 more important they create a simple scoring system 0 12 point and graph that allow for the rapid estimation of the probability of treatment success define as svr if this approach is validate it may be helpful in guide therapeutic decision in hepatitis c the debate continue over the association between chronic hepatitis c and diabete narra and colleague 5 from the university of tennessee study 325 consecutive patient with liver disease of various type and stage those with cirrhosis due to hcv infection and other cause were similar with respect to age body mass index bmi and sex distribution the prevalence of diabetes was 28 in the hcv cirrhosis group and 32 in the non hcv cirrhosis group logistic regression analysis show that only age and cirrhosis but not hcv infection were independent predictor of diabetes they conclude that report on the high prevalence of diabetes in chronic hepatitis c are confound by the presence of cirrhosis these finding add fuel to the controversy regard the association which at present remain unresolved a symposium on the treatment of hepatitis c conduct by rajender reddy from the university of pennsylvania mitchell shiffman from the medical college of virginia and ira jacobson from columbia university medical school was present during this year acg meet 6 dr shiffman address the change paradigm of treatment for hcv infection once treatment have been initiate the rate at which serum hcv rna become undetectable is critical he call for check viral load before and at 4 and 12 week after the initiation of treatment of those patient who have a rapid virologic response rvr undetectable hcv rna by sensitive pcr base assay at treatment week 4 91 will achieve an svr unfortunately only 15 of patient infect with hcv genotype 1 will have an rvr retrospective reanalysis of many trial establish that rvr is more important than pretreatment factor identify above in determine the likelihood of svr for example black patient with genotype 1 hcv disease and an rvr have a 67 likelihood of achieve svr similar datum for svr in genotype 2 and 3 patient have been report it is also probable that a total of 24 week as oppose to 48 week of therapy with the standard of care combination pegylate interferon ribavirin for those patient who have rvr is adequate a virologic response by week 12 of treatment early virologic response evr at least a 2 log decline over baseline in viral burden at treatment week 12 is see in 35 of hcv genotype 1 patient and 66 of these individual will achieve svr delay of response until week 24 is see in about 15 of those treat and in these patient the likelihood of an svr is only 45 those who fail to clear virus by week 24 will not have an svr dr reddy review the role ribavirin play in hcv antiviral therapy 6 although ribavirin possess only a weak and transient anti hcv effect and do not increase the frequency of end of treatment response compare with pegylate interferon alone the use of ribavirin is clearly associate with few relapse after therapy have end thus it seem clear that maximize patient dose with ribavirin include hematologic support where need provide the good opportunity for achieve svr despite solid advance in the management of hcv infection with the current standard of care pegylate interferon ribavirin there are many failure thus there is focus on new agent currently in development in his portion of the symposium dr jacobson 6 provide an overview of one of the so call specifically target antiviral therapy for hcv stat c agent far along in development the protease inhibitor telaprevir these agent target specific viral enzyme important in the replication of hcv when administer in the first 12 week of treatment with pegylate interferon and ribavirin the triple combination regimen lead to an svr of 61 to 68 and is associate with a relapse rate of 2 to 6 this agent is not yet fda approve but is perhaps far along in clinical trial than another stat c agent boceprevir and other agent being test finally dr jacobson highlight the very exciting advance in the treatment of patient with genotype 4 hcv infection a variant see mainly on the arabian peninsula and in north africa hcv genotype 4 is less widely study than are genotype 1 2 and 3 and patient infect with hcv genotype 4 respond to the standard of care about as poorly as those infect with genotype 1 nitazoxanide the first of a new class of small molecule agent know as the thiazolide which target cell signal pathway use in viral replication when give in combination with pegylate interferon ribavirin seem to provide superior svr rate in this patient population compare with pegylate interferon and ribavirin alone immunization adherence to guideline recommendation of the advisory committee on immunization practice acip of the center for disease control and prevention the american association for the study of liver disease aasld and the national institutes of health nih call for immunization against hepatitis a and b in hcv infected individual 7 9 buntic and colleague 10 from st raphael hospital new haven connecticut review chart of patient with hcv at 2 university affiliate teaching hospital among 230 patient who were hepatitis c antibody positive just over 80 were not immunize against hepatitis a and 75 to 87 were not immunize against hepatitis b no reason for nonvaccination was document during the second phase of the study attempt were make to contact patient to offer free immunization only 30 of patient could be reach and only 7 attend clinic to receive immunization on the basis of these finding a significant opportunity exist to improve vaccination practice when patient attend a residency clinic as fibrosis score progress vaccination success wane sterling and colleague 11 from the virginia commonwealth university study immunization success in hcv infected patient with advanced hepatic fibrosis depend on the vaccine use hepatitis a hepatitis b vaccine alone or in combination successful hepatitis a immunization occur in 72 to 77 of patient and hepatitis b immunization was successful in 42 to 59 of patient in this study use of the combination hepatitis a b vaccine was 40 more likely to be successful in induce immunization against hepatitis b however this difference was not statistically significant give the sharp drop off in immunization success in patient with hepatitis c with advanced fibrosis or cirrhosis immunization should be consider early in the course of patient with hcv infection liver cell cancer hcc is increase in frequency in the united states guideline are divergent with respect to the value of hcc screen robert and colleague 12 from the university of oklahoma review the recent experience at the oklahoma city veterans affairs medical center and find a doubling of annual case between 2000 and 2006 in this retrospective study they determine which cancer stage size of lesion were discover through screen tumor size opportunity to provide liver transplant service and survival were all improve in those case discover through screen in patient for whom liver transplantation is an option screen for liver cancer in those at risk appear to be validate epidemiologic evidence have suggest a possible chemoprotective effect of statin use in the management of dyslipidemias robert and colleague 13 also study the effect of statin on cell growth in 2 hepatocellular cell line all statin study inhibited proliferation of tumor cell line pravastatin have the weak effect the effect was not augment by the addition of cisplatin although much need to be do to extend these observation statin continue to be an intriguing drug class to study as adjunct to standard treatment for liver cancer liver cell cancer hcc is typically highly vascular the corollary is that angiogenesis is important to tumor growth vascular endothelial growth factor vegf and basic fibroblast growth factor bfgf are associate with tumor growth chawla and colleague 14 from chandigarh india correlate serum level of these growth factor with size and extent of hcc in 40 patient mean serum vegf level pg ml were report as follow normal control 93 chronic hepatitis 143 cirrhosis 174 and hcc 400 a positive correlation was see between tumor size and vegf level high serum level of vegf were also see in case of portal vein invasion by tumor similar finding were observe for bfgf serum level the author conclude that both of these growth factor are elevate in hcc and that very high vegf level imply portal vein invasion by tumor if validate these test may be add to the somewhat meager set of tool available to clinician to monitor hcc fatty liver disease liver biopsy is require to differentiate hepatic steatosis generally nonprogressive from the more virulent steatohepatitis nash nonalcoholic steatohepatitis and for stage fibrosis development of serum marker for nash is need bhattacharyya and colleague 15 from the cleveland clinic compare serum test for death receptor protein fas and soluble fas ligand fasl in 70 patient undergo liver biopsy for suspect fatty liver disease patient undergo liver biopsy for hepatitis c were also test patient with nash have elevate level of fas compare with those with steatosis or normal biopsy fas level were as high in patient with hcv infection as in nash however fasl level were also elevate in nash but not in case of hcv infection these result suggest a potential role for fas and fasl in predict the presence or absence of nash complication of cirrhosis metabolic vitamin d deficiency is associate with cholestatic liver disease such as primary biliary cirrhosis and primary sclerose cholangitis arteh and colleague 16 from the university of tennessee provide compelling evidence for vitamin d deficiency in virtually all 92 patient with parenchymal liver disease apparently regardless of the presence or absence of cirrhosis they measure 25 hydroxy oh vitamin d level in 118 consecutive patient with noncholestatic liver disease mainly hcv infection one third of the patient have severe reduction in 25 oh vitamin d level 7 ng ml this study do not assess manifestation of vitamin d deficiency however the author recommend that vitamin d level be monitor especially in patient with cirrhosis hepatic encephalopathy during this year acg meeting there was intense interest direct toward public health and safety issue in patient with minimal portosystemic hepatic encephalopathy mpse minimal hepatic encephalopathy is a neurocognitive complication of cirrhosis associate with an increase rate of progression to overt hepatic encephalopathy detection is not possible by clinical examination it may be anticipate that drive skill will be impair in case of pse in previous study bajaj and colleague report high rate of traffic citation and motor vehicle accident in individual with cirrhosis in datum present at acg 2008 bajaj and colleague 17 report the result of a study use a drive simulator the investigator study 93 cirrhotic patient 25 of whom have mpse and 18 of whom have overt pse the remainder have neither they also evaluate age and education match control without liver disease all subject undergo a drive simulation after train the simulation time was stratify into 2 half to test the effect of fatigue the performance on all outcome in the second half was compare with those in the first half of the simulation subject with overt pse do significantly bad than all other group subject with mpse perform as well as control during the first half of the drive but show evidence of fatigue and increase drive error during the second half of the test the author conclude that individual with overt pse exhibit profound driving impairment and that continuous driving result in deterioration of performance in cirrhotic person with mpse the same investigator then conduct a modeling study to determine which strategy is good to minimize automobile accident cause by patient with cirrhosis and mpse 18 they estimate that among 100 patient with cirrhosis 70 would have mpse and that these 70 would have 24 motor vehicle accident per year with an average cost per accident of 41 000 they compare a do nothing strategy with intervention design to detect and or treat mpse the good strategy was to perform rapid diagnostic test and treat with lactulose or probiotic those individual find to have mpse such a strategy compare with do nothing would save 287 000 to 369 000 per year this study is provocative considerably more real life datum would be need to confirm the assumption underlie this study nevertheless these finding pose an ethical challenge for clinician who treat patient with cirrhosis should physician be responsible for notify motor vehicle department about patient with cirrhosis and no clinical evidence of pse pse occur due to the production of neurotoxin in the colon largely by bacterial degradation of luminal content the small intestine is relatively free of bacteria in normal individual merra and colleague 19 from rome italy demonstrate that the small intestine in cirrhotic patient frequently have bacterial overgrowth compare with noncirrhotic control 3 3 of whom demonstrate a positive lactulose breath test 18 of 30 60 cirrhotic patient were positive bacterial overgrowth was more common in individual with advanced cirrhosis 20 50 and 80 in child class a b and c cirrhosis respectively these finding suggest a role for bacterial overgrowth in the pathogenesis of pse variceal hemorrhage are we treat our patient right in 2007 a new practice guideline was issue by the acg and the aasld on the prevention and management of gastroesophageal varix and variceal hemorrhage in cirrhosis 20 during this year acg meeting carey and colleague 21 present the result of a northern ohio cohort and a national cohort of gastroenterologist who were survey at the 2007 annual acg meeting in both group overall compliance with guideline recommendation was low 54 on the basis of their finding many gastroenterologist are not provide recommend primary bleeding prevention not titrate beta blocker and not use antibiotic in the management of acute variceal hemorrhage academic physician were more adherent as were those physician whose practice were more than 40 devote to hepatology some regional difference were observe clearly well education of physician who manage cirrhotic patient is warrant in regard to the evidence base measure that they can take to improve patient outcome relate to variceal hemorrhage liver biopsy percutaneous liver biopsy remain central to the evaluation of patient with liver disease outpatient liver biopsy is generally safe but bleed complication may occur von willebrand disease is the most common inherited hematologic disorder with a prevalence of about 1 to 3 globally von willebrand disease may be mild moderate or rarely severe testing is not routinely perform for this disease prior to liver biopsy basu and colleague 22 measure von willebrand disease antigen and factor viii level in 120 patient present for outpatient percutaneous liver biopsy twelve 10 have evidence of mild or moderate von willebrand disease none have major bleeding that require transfusion although 9 patient have minor local bleeding and all have an ecchymosis that resolve spontaneously within a week the investigator conclude that outpatient liver biopsy may be perform safely in patient with mild or moderate von willebrand disease without prior bleed diathesis routine screening for undiagnosed von willebrand syndrome is not warrant these datum support and reinforce the practice guideline of the american gastroenterological association 23 state that outpatient percutaneous liver biopsy is safe and nonthreatene in patient who have a concomitant minor inherit bleed diathesis without prior history of excessive bleeding many center use ultrasound mark for guidance in percutaneous liver biopsy some datum suggest few complication the size of the speciman is important for accurate interpretation a randomize control trial from the mayo clinic in the 1990 suggest that no important difference in the size of the speciman ultimately submit for pathologic review result from ultrasound mark prior to biopsy 24 however during this year acg meeting pudhota and colleague 25 from the university of florida jacksonville report their finding in regard to the impact of ultrasound mark on tissue yield during percutaneous liver biopsy in a retrospective study of 480 biopsy they find that despite a statistically significantly low number of pass ultrasound guide biopsy provide a mean sample size of 1 59 cm vs 1 17 cm for biopsy do blindly

for tip thirty day mortality was 38 in the old group compare with 4 in the young patient overall mortality after 6 month was 63 and 13 respectively these difference are statistically significant on

understand hepatitis the basic what is hepatitis hepatitis is a general term that mean inflammation of the liver it can be acute or chronic and have a number of different cause it can be cause by a group of virus know as the hepatitis virus include a before christ d and e other virus may also be the culprit such as those that cause mononucleosis the epstein barr virus or chickenpox the varicella virus hepatitis also apply to inflammation of the liver cause by drug and alcohol abuse or toxin in the environment people also can develop hepatitis from other factor such as trauma or an autoimmune process in which a person body make antibodie that attack the liver hepatitis is the most common of all serious contagious disease thousand of case are report to the cdc each year but researcher estimate that the true number of people in the united states who have the disease acute and chronic is much high than the number report many hepatitis case go undiagnosed because they are mistaken for the flu hepatitis is serious because it interfere with the liver many function among other thing the liver produce bile to aid digestion regulate the chemical composition of the blood and screen potentially harmful substance from the bloodstream the five hepatitis virus can be transmit in different way but they all have one thing in common they infect the liver and cause it to become inflame generally the acute phase of the disease last from two to three week complete recovery take about nine week although most patient recover with a lifelong immunity to the disease a few hepatitis victim less than 1 die in the acute phase other may develop chronic hepatitis in which the liver remains inflame for six month or more this condition can lead to cirrhosis and possibly death what cause it although their effect on the liver and the symptom they produce can be similar the various form of hepatitis are contract in different way in the case of viral hepatitis the severity and duration of the disease are largely determine by the organism that cause it hepatitis a which is generally contract orally through fecal contamination of food or water is consider the least dangerous form of the disease because it almost always resolve on its own also it do not lead to chronic inflammation of the liver the hepatitis a virus commonly spread through improper handling of food contact with household member share toy at day care center and eat raw shellfish take from polluted water hepatitis b can spread through sexual contact blood transfusion and needle sharing by intravenous drug user the virus can pass from mother to child at birth or soon afterward the virus can also travel between adult and child to infect whole family in a third of all hepatitis b case the source can not be identify the majority of hepatitis b patient recover completely but a small percentage of they can not shake the disease and become carrier carrier can transmit the disease to other even when their own symptom have vanish a small percentage of patient who can not fight off the virus will develop chronic hepatitis b like carrier those with chronic hepatitis b are able to pass on the virus up to 25 of chronic hepatitis b patient die prematurely from the disease as a result of cirrhosis or liver cancer hepatitis c is usually spread through contact with blood or contaminate needle include tattoo needle although hepatitis c may cause only mild symptom or none at all approximately 20 of those infect develop cirrhosis within 20 year the disease can be pass on through blood transfusion but screening which start in the early 90 have greatly reduce the number of such case in a third of all hepatitis c case the source of the disease is unknown hepatitis d occur only in people infect with hepatitis b and tend to magnify the severity of that disease it can be transmit from mother to child and through sexual contact although less common hepatitis d is especially dangerous because it involve two form of the disease work at once hepatitis e occur mainly in asia mexico india and africa only a few case are report in the united states mostly among people who have return from a country where the disease is widespread like hepatitis a this type is usually spread through fecal contamination and it do not lead to chronic hepatitis this form is consider slightly more dangerous than hepatitis a especially in pregnant woman who may die from this infection other virus may also be responsible for cause hepatitis these include the epstein barr virus often associate with infectious mononucleosis the varicella virus which cause chickenpox the herpe simplex virus hsv and cytomegalovirus cmv alcoholic toxic and drug relate hepatitis can produce the same symptom and liver inflammation that result from viral hepatitis this form is cause not by invade microorganism but by excessive and chronic consumption of alcohol ingestion of environmental toxin or misuse of certain

I post before that I have the pain back in my liver area even though I was svr in march I am one of the geno 3a people that my doctor have to reduce I to only 600 riba with the sov but do 24 week and was finish 9 15 2014 I am terrify to contact my doctor as I do not want to know that the virus is back I have been through this in the past on the old treatment I am scared my past 2 attempt cause my virus to replicate into one that can not be gottten rid of I have 3 undetected viral load after complete treatment but I have the symptom from the old day the only thing clear is my urine I tell myself it is because my liver get a chance to repair itself some I am so scared I can not take it to hear those word again mentally I can not do it I am try to convince myself that it is my gallbladder or there is something wrong with my liver lesion cancer anything I also know it will take a long time minimum a week to hear from the viral load test the only good thing is that the pain go thru to my back also now when I was still getting undetected viral load I was get a weird pain that was in that same side if I hold up my boob sorry the pain would be less my body feel warm and I get like the chill my husband just get very angry with I for not call so I do not talk about it with he after 30 year this is really beat I up it is get to be too much for I I was wish I was dead already and when I find out someone die I think oh they are lucky I am not suicidal but my thinking is not good it is all from fear I have to vent and get this off my chest I have promise myself that since the doctor is in this location monday tuesday I will contact he why go to my pcp when she do not have the knowledge my hepatologist do thank for listen to I you are the only one that understand where I am come from I lose all my strength when my liver in the past start act up and for those of you that never get sick from your liver it is not fun at all I have to get this check and I will hopefully put this out there will give I the courage to do so thank again,negative,0
my oncologist call last night with the result of my point scan my cancer have return tumor were detect on my liver lymph nodes adrenal gland and the lining of my abdominal wall he will send a copy of the scan to the surgeon who do my liver resection but he doubt that resect my liver was an option so he will research the late clinical trial to see if I can qualify or just go with the standard treatment cancer suck I will talk to he again next week and well go from there john,negative,0

hepatitis c infection treatment option equally effective likelihood of success know early on sciencedaily aug 3 2009 result of a long await study of 3 070 american adult at johns hopkins and 118 other you s medical center show that treatment with either of the two standard antiviral drug therapy is safe and offer the good way for people infect with hepatitis c to prevent liver scar organ failure and death a report on the so call comparative effectiveness study believe to be the large of its kind conduct on people with hepatitis c infection appear in the new england journal of medicine online july 22 the disease transmit by contact with blood and other body fluid of an infected person through sexual activity injection drug use or sharing of personal care item kill more than 10 000 americans annually an estimate 180 million people worldwide include 4 million in the united states are infect with hepatitis c the nation lead cause of liver failure liver cancer and liver transplantation when consider treatment for hepatitis c infection patient and their doctor now have solid evidence that they can weigh both antiviral therapy equally for effectiveness safety and tolerability say study co principal investigator mark sulkowski m d medical director of johns hopkins center for viral hepatitis in a surprise find the researcher say the study find no major difference between the only two you s food and drug administration approve drug treatment regimen in suppress the virus to undetectable level in the blood either of the two standard 48 week dual drug therapie peginterferon alfa 2b plus ribavirin or peginterferon alfa 2a plus ribavirin work equally well at 39 8 percent and 40 9 percent respectively side effect such as anemia fatigue headache nausea insomnia and depression were commonly observe in study participant between 10 percent and 13 percent of study participant withdraw from treatment due to their drug side effect a number sulkowski say is within expectation for this type of therapy however the new study he say show that we now have evidence that we can safely use less aggressive dosage without compromise a patient chance for long term recovery in a subgroup of 700 patient who take a low dose of peginterferon alfa 2b a change from the standard 1 5 microgram per kilogram per week to 1 microgram per kilogram per week peginterfon alfa 2b do just as well with a cure rate of 38 percent sulkowski an associate professor at the johns hopkins university school of medicine say the team late research also show that delay treatment until the disease have reach an advance stage hurt prognosis treatment success is highly dependent on start before liver cirrhosis have already set in which can take from a year to decade say sulkowski study result show that in infect people who begin either of two standard combination drug therapy during early or less advanced stage of hepatitis c liver disease treatment success rate were 40 percent to 43 percent those with more advanced stage 3 or stage 4 liver disease mark by the buildup of scar tissue have a 20 percent to 23 percent success rate put another way twice as many infected people recover on either set of inject drug as long as the treatment was begin before the disease have lead to pronounce liver disease sulkowski and his colleague say key evidence from the late study will allow physician to learn more quickly within 90 day whether a particular therapy is likely to rid the body of the virus and if not stop the therapy to avoid unnecessary drug cost and side effect researcher find that a patient likelihood of success after take either antiviral medication was highly predictable even within 30 day base on the magnitude of viral decline approximately 90 percent of patient were cure if virus level in the blood were suppress within a month to below detection whereas patient who take from three month to six month to achieve viral suppression have high rate of viral rebound of between 30 percent and 50 percent in a piece of reassuring news the study appear to allay fear about switch to less aggressive drug treatment in response to severe side effect with anemia show it can be safe and effective to reduce the doe of the antiviral drug ribavirin to dose below those initially prescribe move forward researcher say the high rate of viral eradication in infected people in the early stage of liver disease warrant more widespread screening in people at great risk of being infect such as those with liver inflammation anyone who receive a blood transfusion before donor testing for hepatitis c begin in 1992 and injection drug user researcher also find that in the third of study participant whose ribavirin dosage was reduce as a result of anemia cure rate actually improve to as high as 52 percent whereas in those whose ribavirin dose stay the same cure rate were low at 37 percent contrary to the prevail belief that ribavirin dose reduction would lead to few people recover from their infection it actually increase the sustained viral response rate when reduction was use to manage treatment relate anemia say sulkowski who attribute the onset of anemia as a sign that the body have sufficient ribavirin to fight off the infection our study show that in infected people have difficulty tolerate standard dose therapy with peginterferon alfa we can safely reduce their medication level he say the study also confirm that black infect with hepatitis c who comprise almost a fifth of all study participant fare more poorly over the course of their disease even with early therapy they experience roughly half the viral suppression rate of white for every test regiman sulkowski say the reason for this remain unknown and subject to further research as the large study of its kind our trial call ideal define the current standard of care for treat hepatitis c infection say study co investigator david l thomas m d director of infectious disease at johns hopkins the study finding tell doctor how to treat hepatitis c infection today and underscore the importance of new therapy for the majority of people who can not currently be cure thomas was one of four hepatitis c expert responsible for draft the 2009 guideline for the diagnosis management and treatment of hepatitis c recently publish by the american association for the study of liver disease a national professional society sulkowski note that comparative effectiveness study such as this one despite their high cost and lengthy timeline form the fundamental backbone for figure out which one work well with new treatment in the pipeline propose next stage therapie primarily two hepatitis protease inhibitor boceprevir and teleprevir are still in early testing but can now be judge in comparison with what physician know work good sulkowski say triple combination drug therapy for hepatitis c could prove the current therapy more effective when use as a cocktail similar to the antiviral regimen use to combat hiv in the late study recently infect people from across the united states were randomly assign to one of three treatment group receive either standard dose peginterferon alfa 2b or peginterferon alfa 2a each with ribavirin or low dose peginterferon alfa 2b plus ribavirin a majority of study participant were man in their 40 all were treat for nearly a year and then monitor for another half year none have pre existing condition such as hiv disease another hepatitis infection liver failure or liver cancer or severe or active depression researcher say the next phase of their research will profile people who do well on each different drug regiman to see if there are standout factor that predispose some to success on one drug over another they also plan further study on drug induce anemia to determine the effectiveness of synthetic erythropoietin and whether or not epo is more effective in some people than in other

and other area of liver disease he is a fellow of the american college of physician and member of the american association for the study of liver disease and western society for clinical investigation here the summary of m d tse ling fong comment part 1 01 what is the scope of the hepatitis c problem 02 what is the nature biology of the hepatitis c virus hcv 03 how do liver damage occur in hepatitis c infection 04 what are the symptom of hepatitis c infection 05 what is the usual progression of chronic infection with hepatitis c virus 06 who is at high risk and should be test for hepatitis c infection 01 what is the scope of the hepatitis c problem the hepatitis c virus hcv is one of the most significant health problem affect the liver more than 4 million americans 1 3 of the you s population and 170 million individual in the world 3 worldwide are infect with hepatitis c virus the prevalence number of case in a population at a specific time of hepatitis c virus infection vary in different part of the world for example the prevalence of hepatitis c virus in scandinavia is less than 0 5 of the population whereas the prevalence in egypt is over 20 in the you s and western europe the complication of hepatitis c virus chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis are the most common reason for liver transplantation one of the major problem with hepatitis c virus infection is that 85 of individual initially infect with this virus will become chronically infect usually for decade the other 15 of hepatitis c virus infect individual simply have an acute infection that is one that resolve spontaneously in a few week or month the propensity of hepatitis c virus to cause chronic infection is explain by the extraordinary ability of this virus in contrast to most other virus include hepatitis a to avoid destruction by the bodys immune defense system the immune system include antibody and specialized white blood cell call lymphocyte once establish chronic hepatitis c virus infection cause an inflammation of the liver call chronic hepatitis this condition can progress to scar of the liver call fibrosis or more advanced scarring call cirrhosis some patient with cirrhosis will go on to develop liver failure or the complication of cirrhosis include liver cancer in the you s the number of new case of hepatitis c have decline over the last 10 year from a peak of some 200 000 annually to about 28 000 in 1999 this strike reduction is the result of a drop in the number of case of acute hepatitis c among intravenous drug user perhaps this decrease among the drug user is due to change in their practice bring on by their awareness of hiv infection furthermore sensitive blood test for the detection of hepatitis c virus become available to screen the blood supply and individual at high risk for hepatitis c virus indeed with blood being routinely screen for hepatitis c virus the risk of a single unit of blood transmit hepatitis c today is less than 1 in 100 000 still because of the many individual who become infect 10 to 20 year ago the number of death or the need for liver transplantation due to the complication of chronic hepatitis c virus liver disease is expect to triple within the next decade or two on the other hand in recent year our understanding of the hepatitis c virus and its management have increase substantially 02 what is the nature biology of the hepatitis c virus hcv hepatitis c virus is one of several virus that can cause hepatitis which is inflammation of the liver it is unrelated to the other common hepatitis viruse a b d and e hepatitis c virus is a member of the flaviviridae family of virus other member of this family of virus include those that cause yellow fever and dengue virus belong to this family all have ribonucleic acid rna as their genetic material they are therefore refer to as rna viruse the rna of hepatitis c virus is make up of almost 10 000 unit call nucleotide that are organize to serve as the viruss genetic blue print for the manufacture of protein thus the virus contain structural protein to build its structure include its coat envelope and non structural protein e g the enzyme polymerase to carry out its function understand the nature biology of hepatitis c virus allow scientist to develop therapy that specifically target the viruss structure or function there are considerable difference in the genetic structure of hepatitis c virus accordingly hepatitis c virus is categorize into six major genetic type genotype and many more subtype base on the sequence order of nucleotide in the virus although the different genotype are find throughout the world there is a distinct distribution of genotype in certain geographic region for instance the most common genotype in the you s is genotype 1 1a and 1b which account for 80 of hepatitis c virus case in the you s the influence of genotype on the long term prognosis of hepatitis c virus disease is still unclear however what is clear is that patient infect with genotype 2 or 3 are much more likely to respond to interferon therapy in contrast patient infect with genotype 1 particularly 1b or genotype 4 do not respond very well to interferon therapy in addition within a single host there are minor genetic difference in the hepatitis c virus these minor difference give rise to what are call quasispecie quasi mean resemble each other where do the quasispecie come from well one of the non structural hepatitis c virus protein mention above is the enzyme polymerase this enzyme is the machine that allow the virus to reproduce its genetic material rna in order to multiply now this rna polymerase is very prone to make mistake result in change mutation in the genetic material the majority of these mutation result in a non viable not live new quasispecie of hepatitis c virus but sometimes the mutation result in viable quasispecie with time the accumulation of these viable mutation result in multiple quasispecie of the virus within the same host why are there so many different variety of hepatitis c virus anyway perhaps the different variety confer an advantage to the survival of this virus over the year for example some of the new specie may become more efficient in reproduce themselves replication by the same token however the genetic variability of hepatitis c virus have make the development of a protective vaccine against all of these genotype and quasispecie a near impossible task with our present technology moreover this variability probably also explain how this virus result in such a high rate of chronic infection thus the genetic variability may enable the hepatitis c virus to avoid destruction by the host cellular immune cell or antibody and so maintain perpetuate the chronic infection 03 how do liver damage occur in hepatitis c infection the basis mechanism of liver damage in chronic hepatitis c virus infection is not very well understand the virus itself probably do not cause liver cell damage directly indeed the level of the virus in the blood do not correlate with the actual liver damage see on the liver biopsy liver damage in chronic hepatitis c virus is probably cause by the interplay between the virus and the bodys immune system which include cytotoxic injurious to cell lymphocytes and specific inflammatory messenger cytokine how is hepatitis c virus spread and how can transmission be prevent hepatitis c is spread transmit most efficiently through the blood therefore hepatitis c virus is transmit by infected blood or blood product transplantation of infected solid organ e g liver kidney heart and the sharing of contaminated needle among intravenous drug user in retrospect hepatitis c virus was the most common cause of hepatitis that result from blood transfusion in the 1980 at that time hepatitis c virus have not yet been identify and post transfusion case of hepatitis were call non a non b hepatitis in the early 1980 the risk of contract hepatitis c virus from a blood transfusion was as high as 15 in the mid 1980 when the practice of use commercial pay donor was stop and blood was screen for the human immunodeficiency virus hiv the risk of post transfusion hepatitis fall to about 5 this risk was then cut in half when blood was screen with the substitute surrogate marker elevate alanine aminotransferase alt the liver enzyme and hepatitis b core antibodie finally the isolation of the hepatitis c virus and the development of a screening test for hepatitis c virus dramatically lower the risk of acquire hepatitis c virus infection through blood transfusion all blood donor are currently screen with the follow panel hepatitis c antibodie hepatitis b surface antigen hepatitis b core antibodie elevated alanine aminotransferase hiv antibodie and syphilis as a result the risk of contract hepatitis c virus from a single unit of blood is less than 1 100 000 this risk will be even low one day when test that measure minute quantity of hepatitis c viral nucleic acid are universally adopt for blood screen today hepatitis c virus is most commonly transmit by intravenous drug abuse which account for about 60 of new case moreover 50 to 60 of new intravenous drug user are infect within the first 6 month of use and nearly 90 are infect by one year other type of illegal drug usage such as snort cocaine have also been associate with an increase risk of acquire an hepatitis c virus infection hepatitis c virus can be sexually transmit but not very efficiently hepatitis c virus have been isolate in the semen vaginal fluid and saliva nevertheless the risk of transmission of hepatitis c virus from an infected individual to a non infect spouse or partner without the use of condom over a lifetime is only about 1 to 4 the center for disease control cdc and prevention have not recommend use a barrier technique for example condom for hepatitis c virus infect individual in a long term monogamous relationship on the other hand individual with multiple sexual partner should definitely use condom furthermore the practice of safe sex is key in prevent the transmission of other sexually transmit disease such as hiv and hepatitis b food water breast feeding sneeze cough hug casual contact or share eat utensil or drinking glass have not been show to spread hepatitis c what s more hepatitis c is not transmissible by kiss unless an open wound is involve however to far recognize that hepatitis c is transmit through blood the sharing of razor and toothbrush should be avoid interestingly the cdc have not find a definite association between tattoo and the transmission of hepatitis c virus it is critical nevertheless that appropriate precaution be take in apply tattoo include the artist wear glove and use disposable equipment in contrast to hepatitis b the transmission of hepatitis c from the mother to the newborn around the time of delivery is unusual hepatitis c virus infection can also be acquire through occupational exposure thus health care worker in contact with contaminated blood fluid and needle are at an increase risk for hepatitis c virus the risk of acquire hepatitis c virus from a needle stick involve an individual who have detectable virus in the blood is as high as 5 and about 2 on the average the risk is high if a hollow bore needle make the needle stick since the potential for a great amount of blood is high with this type of needle in the medical setting patient receive hemodialysis and medical provider in renal dialysis unit have a high frequency of hepatitis c virus infection than people in the general population what else can be do to prevent hepatitis c immune serum globulin give after an exposure to hepatitis c virus would not be expect to protect a susceptible individual from acquire an hepatitis c virus infection moreover no vaccine is currently available for hepatitis c virus it should be note however that hepatitis a and b vaccination are recommend for patient who have hepatitis c virus liver disease as already mention intravenous drug abuse remain the most common mode of transmission of hepatitis c ideally user should stop use drug and enter a rehabilitation program however active user of drug should not reuse or share needle syringe water and other material 04 what are the symptom of hepatitis c infection at the beginning of an hepatitis c virus infection only about 25 of patient exhibit the characteristic symptom of acute rapid onset hepatitis these symptom include fatigue muscular ache poor appetite and low grade fever rarely yellow of the skin and or eye jaundice also occur however most patient about 75 experience minimal or no symptom at the onset of hepatitis c virus as the hepatitis become chronic most individual remain asymptomatic without symptom indeed many person with chronic hepatitis c are diagnose while undergo routine blood work for unrelated purpose infect individual may exhibit no symptom despite progressive liver inflammation necrosis death of liver cell and fibrosis scar other patient may experience chronic or intermittent fatigue and a diminished sense of well being as a result of advance disease on the other hand fatigue have been describe in some individual with relatively mild disease with the subsequent development of cirrhosis of the liver more advanced scar hepatitis c virus patient can have muscle waste generalized weakness and easy bruise later symptom which are due to the complication of cirrhosis include fluid retention which lead to edema swelling of the low extremity or ascite fluid in the abdominal cavity internal bleeding usually from dilated esophageal vein call varix and mental confusion or sleepiness due to hepatic encephalopathy another complication of hepatitis c virus cirrhosis is cancer of the liver hepatocellular carcinoma or hepatoma which can cause abdominal pain weight loss and fever what condition outside the liver are associate with hepatitis c several extra hepatic outside of the liver condition are associate with chronic hepatitis c these condition are not very common and their occurrence do not correlate with the severity of the underlie liver disease the most widely describe associate condition is cryoglobulinemia this condition is due to the presence of abnormal antibody call cryoglobulin that come from hepatitis c virus stimulation of lymphocyte white blood cell these antibody can deposit in small blood vessel thereby cause inflammation of the vessel vasculitis in tissue throughout the body for example the skin joint and kidney glomerulonephritis may be involve patient with cryoglobulinemia can have quite a variety of symptom these symptom may include weakness joint pain or swell arthralgia or arthritis a raise purple skin rash palpable purpura usually in the low portion of the leg swell of the leg and foot due to loss of protein in the urine from the kidney involvement and nerve pain neuropathy in addition these patient may develop raynauds phenomenon in which the finger and toe turn color white then purple then red and become painful in cold temperature the diagnosis of cryoglobulinemia is make by do a special test in the laboratory to detect the cryoglobulin in the blood in this test the cryoglobulin are identify when the blood sample is expose to the cold cryo mean cold in addition a finding of typical inflammation of small blood vessel in certain tissue biopsy e g the skin or kidney support the diagnosis of cryoglobulinemia all of the symptom of cryoglobulinemia often resolve with successful treatment of the hepatitis c virus infection b cell non hodgkin s lymphoma a cancer of the lymph tissue have also been associate with chronic hepatitis c virus the cause is think to be the excessive stimulation by the hepatitis c virus of b lymphocyte which result in the abnormal reproduction of the lymphocyte interestingly the disappearance remission of an hepatitis c virus associate low grade not very active non hodgkin s lymphoma have been report with interferon therapy most individual with hepatitis c virus associate high grade non hodgkin s lymphoma however will require the usual anti cancer therapie two skin condition lichen planus and porphyria cutanea tarda have been associate with chronic hepatitis c virus it is important to know that both of these skin condition can resolve with successful interferon therapy for the hepatitis c virus in addition up to 25 of hepatitis c virus patient have autoimmune antibodie against one own protein such as anti nuclear antibody anti smooth muscle antibody and rheumatoid factor 05 what is the usual progression of chronic infection with hepatitis c virus our understanding of the natural progression history of hepatitis c infection is still evolve about 15 of patient with acute hepatitis c virus infection spontaneously recover clear the virus eighty five percent however develop chronic liver disease how many of these patient progress to cirrhosis of the liver is there a way to predict who will develop cirrhosis and then how many will develop liver failure include the complication of cirrhosis or liver cancer once a person have cirrhosis how long is he she expect to live these are very pertinent question for which there are no clear cut answer only reasonable estimate there are several way to examine the natural history of chronic hepatitis c infection retrospective look back in time prospective look forward or combine retrospective prospective study a retrospective study involve identify patient with establish chronic hepatitis c infection and correlate their current stage of liver disease to the duration of their infection several such investigation have suggest that after acquire hepatitis c virus it take about 10 to14 year for biopsy evidence of chronic hepatitis to appear about 20 year to develop cirrhosis and about 28 year to develop liver cancer there are problem with retrospective study however for example retrospective study are incline biased to select chronic hepatitis c patient who have symptom which is the reason the patient seek medical attention accordingly information about the actual duration of infection in these patient may be inaccurate that is underestimate furthermore retrospective study do not tell what proportion of patient with chronic hepatitis c virus will develop cirrhosis liver failure or hcc in a prospective study an entire group of hepatitis c patient are follow from the time they first become infect these study have necessarily involve patient who receive contaminate blood since in these individual the time of acquisition of hepatitis c virus can be accurately determine however the follow up in most of these study is relatively short furthermore since some of these patient are being treat with antiviral therapy the natural progression of the disease may be modify by the treatment anyway these prospective study suggest that about 10 to 25 of patient develop cirrhosis within a 10 to 15 year follow up moreover only about 10 of patient develop symptom relate to their liver disease retrospective prospective study involve identify a group of patient who were expose to hepatitis c virus many year ago account for almost all of these patient and then follow they prospectively the advantage of these study is that there is a head start to the follow up as compare to a prospective study these retrospective study confirm that the natural progression of chronic hepatitis c virus is quite slow and in general complication develop over decade not year again these retrospective prospective study have involve patient who were expose to contaminated blood or blood product such as immunoglobulin on average these study have look at patient who were expose over twenty year ago in two study involve woman who acquire chronic hepatitis c virus after receive contaminated immunoglobulin over 20 year ago less than 3 of the patient develop cirrhosis the vast majority of patient have only mild inflammation and no fibrosis scar of the liver about one third of patient have aminotransferase liver enzyme level over 100 you l 2 to 3 time normal and one third have normal liver test however one quarter of the patient report fatigue accord to these retrospective prospective study once cirrhosis is establish the risk of develop liver failure that is the complication of cirrhosis is about 10 per year these complication include bleed from varix dilate vein usually in the esophagus ascite fluid in the abdomen encephalopathy confusion and jaundice the risk of develop liver cancer in a cirrhotic patient with hepatitis c virus is 1 4 per year however patient who have cirrhosis without complication compensate cirrhosis have an 80 likelihood of survive 10 year on the other hand patient who have cirrhosis with complication refer to either as decompensate cirrhosis or liver failure have a much low likelihood of survival less than 50 at 5 year it is unclear which factor promote the progression of chronic liver disease in hepatitis c virus infection early study suggest that individual infect with genotype 1b may develop more serious disease but these finding could not be substantiate moreover as previously mention the level of virus in the blood do not correlate with disease severity what is clear however is that the regular use of alcohol even in moderation is detrimental in hepatitis c virus chronic liver disease 06 who is at high risk and should be test for hepatitis c infection the center for disease control and prevention recommend that certain people who are at high risk for hepatitis c infection should undergo testing for hepatitis c virus these include individual who have been notify that they receive a blood transfusion from a donor who later test positive for hepatitis c inject illegal drug even if they experiment only a few time many year ago receive a blood transfusion or solid organ transplant before july 1992 receive a blood product for clot problem that was produce before 1987 have ever been on long term kidney dialysis filter blood to treat kidney failure have evidence of liver disease e g persistently abnormal alt level guideline for hepatitis c virus testing are less clear in certain other people who may also be at increase risk of acquire hepatitis c virus these include individual who are recipient of transplanted tissue e g cornea skin heart kidney use intranasal cocaine and other non inject illegal drug have have tattoo and or body piercing have have multiple sex partner or a history of sexually transmit disease are long term steady sex partner of an hepatitis c virus positive person the national institutes of health consensus development conference recommend that these person be test what are the diagnostic test for hepatitis c virus and how are they use to diagnose hepatitis c virus infection a number of diagnostic test are currently available for hepatitis c virus they are categorize below accord to the function of the specific test what about screen test screen test are do to determine the presence of antibody to hepatitis c virus in the blood the enzyme immunosorbent assay eia is the conventional initial screening test to diagnose hepatitis c infection the eia measure specific antibody to small piece of the hepatitis c virus protein antigen this test therefore is refer to as the anti hepatitis c virus antibody test patient who have elevate liver enzyme alt ast and or any of the risk factor for hepatitis c virus can be diagnose to have hepatitis c virus with a great than 95 certainty when the eia is positive on the other hand certain patient whose immune system are impair suppress may not have detectable anti hepatitis c virus antibodie even if they are actually infect with hepatitis c virus such immunosuppressed patient include those who are on renal dialysis suffer from cancer and are receive chemotherapy drug to kill cancer cell or have active hiv infection these patient can not produce enough anti hepatitis c virus antibodie necessary to generate a positive eia test when there is a low likelihood risk of hepatitis c infection individual who test positive for hepatitis c by eia should undergo confirmatory testing use a specialized assay that likewise test for antibody against the hepatitis c virus protein this assay is call the recombinant immunoblot assay riba both the eia and riba test however do not distinguish among acute chronic and resolve hepatitis c virus infection because the anti hepatitis c virus antibodie are in the blood in all three of these situation although eia and riba are test that measure antibodie against hepatitis c virus these antibody do not confer protection to the patient against acquire hepatitis c virus rather they only indicate exposure of the patient to the virus what are molecular test for hepatitis c virus as previously describe hepatitis c virus is an rna virus the code of the genetic material hepatitis c virus rna is unique to this virus several type of test assay are available to measure the hepatitis c virus rna in a person blood these test are refer to as molecular test because they examine the virus at the molecular level the two most common system for measure hepatitis c virus rna are the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction retweet pcr assay and the branched chain dna bdna assay recently a third type of assay call transcription mediate amplification tma have been release first of all it is important to put in perspective the relative amount of virus in an individual infect with hepatitis c virus as compare to some other type of chronic viral infection the average number of virus particle millilite r of blood in an individual with chronic hepatitis c virus is hundred of thousand to several million in contrast someone with active hepatitis b infection have several hundred million to billion of copy virus particle per milliliter of blood the relatively low concentration of the hepatitis c virus in the blood is one of the reason it take so long for scientist to characterize the hepatitis c virus retweet pcr is a very powerful tool for detect relatively low amount of genetic material rna or dna the basis of this technique is the amplification of a target piece of nucleic acid several million time so that this target become measurable due to the extreme sensitivity of this technique however the slight contamination can lead to a false positive result on the other hand rna is relatively unstable degrade easily so that blood and tissue sample need to be handle with special precaution if not this instability would lead to a false negative result that is a negative result in someone who have hepatitis c virus in the early 1990 each laboratory have its own in house technique for the retweet pcr assay and the reliability of these assay was quite variable even as of now the fda have not approve any of the retweet pcr assay however most laboratory currently use one of the several available diagnostic kit that are automate and design to reduce the likelihood of contamination there are two type of retweet pcr qualitative and quantitative qualitative hepatitis c virus retweet pcr provide the great sensitivity mean that it can measure as few as 100 copy viral particle of hepatitis c virus ml of serum as the name imply however qualitative retweet pcr provide only a positive presence of hepatitis c virus or negative absence of hepatitis c virus result by contrast quantitative retweet pcr measure the amount of virus these test however are only accurate within a certain range of viremia circulate virus in the blood this mean that quantitative assay are not as sensitive as qualitative assay and can only detect as few as 500 copy ml moreover these assay are less accurate at extremely high viral level over 2 million copy ml in the past year there have been an attempt to standardize these various quantitative assay so that the l,neutral,1

hepatitis c symptom hepatitis treatment liver biopsy are important diagnostic tool for anyone with cancer like lesion on their liver which can be cause by a variety of illness include hepatitis and many other liver disease such as cirrhosis cancer sarcoidosis and amyloidosis even though physician can get a lot of information from blood test sometimes there is no substitute for actually see what s happen in the liver overview of diagnose hepatitis the importance of the liver more about blood test what is a liver biopsy during a biopsy a very small piece of your liver is remove use a special needle the removed tissue is then study by a pathologist a physician specialist train in determine disease from laboratory test who report the result to your physician this test can be do several way but the percutaneous method is very common this is do by stick a needle through the rib into the liver a small piece of liver tissue is suck into the needle and pull out the process is very quick and relatively painless for people with special concern such as those who are high risk of excessive bleeding the procedure may be do differently who need a biopsy doctor order liver biopsy for many reason for people with hepatitis a biopsy can determine what cause the disease by look at the liver tissue microscopically a physician can see if the damage was cause by virus or toxin or even a combination of several thing if cirrhosis is present liver biopsy can determine how advanced the fibrosis is and can assign it a grade in order to compare future change in fact liver biopsy is the most accurate way to determine how much cirrhosis your liver have and if disease is early or advanced another important reason for liver biopsy is to provide information to determine the good treatment mild liver disease may lead your physician to wait on treatment in some people while advanced liver disease may suggest aggressive treatment viral hepatitis b infection viral hepatitis c infection the basic of treatment who should not get a biopsy although a liver biopsy provide important information some people will not be able to get one these people have certain condition where liver biopsy are not recommend which are know as contraindication and doctor must use other test to get the necessary information these condition increase the risk of complication during or after a liver biopsy and will probably prevent you from get one bleed disorder vascular liver tumor ascite certain chest infection biliary tract infection what are problem of biopsy liver biopsy is consider to be a safe medical test consider that the information from a liver biopsy is very important to the physician the risk from the procedure are relatively few however as with any minor surgery there are risk from liver biopsy that you need to understand before any procedure you will discuss these risk with your physician bleeding in the liver and around the site of the procedure pain around the biopsy area infection damage to liver tissue it is not coincidence that the problem associate with biopsy are similar to the contraindication for biopsy if you are already experience similar problem that can be cause by the procedure doctor will probably want to avoid give you a biopsy how is a biopsy take to prepare for your liver biopsy your doctor will schedule the test at the hospital so in case anything go wrong additional medical support will be available you ll probably be ask not to eat or drink anything for about 8 hour before the procedure and your doctor will also probably order blood test to see if your blood properly clot for the test you ll probably lie on your back and have your right before midday position above your head the doctor may want to feel your liver by press on your belly just under your rib cage once the site is choose topical antiseptic will be apply to your skin to reduce the risk of infection you ll be awake for the entire procedure but you ll have local anesthetic usually lidocaine which is the same drug that dentist use to numb your gum apply to the area after the site is properly numb the doctor will insert the special biopsy needle into the skin between your tenth and eleventh rib from the side of your body the goal is to pierce the liver with the needle low enough to miss your lung and diaphragm but high enough to miss the intestine the needle stick is very quick and believe it or not relatively painless the actual procedure will go fast depend on the method about 20 minute but you ll need to stay after the test for several hour so the doctor can monitor your recovery if no problem are see then you ll be able to leave however at home you ll probably need to rest and take it easy for one or two day to give your liver time to heal,neutral,1

f y I breast cancer man are not immune men health thursdays breast cancer is one of those condition that man think just do not apply to they it sound reasonable do not it they do not have breast so they can not get breast cancer but the truth of the matter is that although it is rare man can get breast cancer man who have at least one blood relative with the disease on their mother side accord to an article by healthday are at a high risk to develop breast cancer the good news for man is that breast cancer in man account for less than 1 percent of breast cancer case the mayo clinic provide the main risk factor for male breast cancer include exposure to estrogen relate drug which may for example be find in drug for prostate cancer liver disease cirrhosis may reduce male hormone and increase female homone in a man body radiation exposure on men chest increase the risk of develop breast cancer obesity fat cell convert androgen into estrogen which may increase the estrogen in your body when man do get breast cancer the most common treatment is a mastectomy or surgical removal of the male breast hormone therapy radiation and chemotherapy may also be use but the question that naturally leap to mind is how to prevent it there are at least two thing you can do to reduce the risk of male breast cancer one is to limit how much alcohol you drink the less the well try to limit yourself to 1 or 2 drink a night and the second one is to stay at a healthy weight through eat a healthy diet and exercise finally although it would not help prevent risk it may be worth explore your family history if breast cancer have occur in your family on your mother side it may act as the extra motivation so many of we need to stay thin healthy and active as strange as it may sound the one positive benefit of man understand that they are not immune to breast cancer is that it may deepen their understanding and help they provide support for the physical and emotional challenge face by woman who have breast cancer male breast cancer yes it exist 0 post in male breast can by dr jeremy f shapiro on oct 06 2010 in honor of breast cancer awareness month and with the utmost respect to all the woman who have fight and continue to fight breast cancer on a daily basis I feel it is also worthwhile to shed some light about breast cancer among man and although the number pale in comparison basically breast cancer is roughly 100 time more common in woman than man datum from the american cancer society indicate the lifetime risk for man is 1 in 1 000 with the expectation of nearly 2 000 new case of invasive breast cancer and almost 400 death in 2010 as far as some of the risk factor for breast cancer well no surprise here as there are many of the same one found among woman in no particular order and certainly not an exhaustive list family history as with most condition family history often play a risk the number is roughly 20 of man with breast cancer have a close relative with the disease gene mutation as we already know the association among woman the brca1 and 2 gene also play some role with man as well the brca2 gene account for about 10 of breast cancer among man other gene that may play a role include chek2 and pten alcohol increase drinking mean increase risk and although not yet prove the thought is the impact of alcohol on the liver which play a large role on the sex hormone metabolism in the body bottom line a damage liver may indicate an increase risk of develop breast cancer obesity as is the case among woman fat cell may ultimately lead to high level of female hormone which may increase the risk of breast cancer age for man the average age of diagnosis is 68 year old what should man be look out for well pretty much the same thing woman need to monitor for any breast lump or swell nipple retraction and or nipple discharge any skin dimple or redness or scaling of nipple or surround breast skin but just as important as what have just been mention above is that man must realize they can get breast cancer as well so if any breast change are note please see your physician health care provider because the early the detection the well the chance of successful treatment,neutral,1

the essential anti oxidant for detox the liver glutathione supplementation is not the answer it is expensive and do not make it to the liver it gets destroy before it get there what we need to take are food and supplement that increase glutathione level in the body the good news is that your body produce its own glutathione the bad news is that poor diet pollution toxin medication stress trauma age hep c and other viral bacterial and fungal infection and radiation all deplete your glutathione glutathione is a very simple molecule that is produce naturally all the time in your body it is a combination of three simple building block of protein or amino acid cysteine glycine and glutamine glutathione is critical in help your immune system do its job of fight infection and prevent cancer it is also helpful in ease the pain of arthritis along with selenium and vitamin c eat food that support glutathione production this would include cruciferous vegetable broccoli cauliflower brussels sprouts cabbage radishe kohlrabi mustard green kale collard green turnip rutabagas watercress and horseradish also garlic and onion turmeric cinnamon and cardamom spinach tomatoe pea and rice bran avocado peach and watermelon are also report to raise glutathione level asparagus avocado raw great of all time milk and walnut are rich source of glutathione this one website say that real hellmana s mayonnaise also provide 660 mg of ala per 1 tablespoon I am think it is the raw egg which is also a supporter of glutathione production as well as fresh unprocessed meat sushi anyone steak tartare I would not touch meat unless it was organic grass fed beef organic chicken or wild catch salmon I add organic raw egg to my smoothie for awhile but there are gentle way to increase glutathione production in the body information about cruciferous veggie and their health benefit http www dailystrength org group alternative treatment for hep c news view 1738419 supplement would include nac ala either or both depend on your budget I choose ala I use to take both dr burkson who do the mushroom poisoning testing in new mexico find that when ala was use with milk thistle liver damage from hep c was reverse and liver enzyme level return to normal ala protect the liver regenerate liver tissue reduce risk of liver cancer reduce joint inflammation enhance mental memory and clarity stimulate the immune system and enhance energy level ala have show remarkable effect in help diabetic patient by normalize blood sugar level it increase glucose uptake by muscle cell lead to more energy and stimulate muscle recover and tone it also protect the nerve network of the body ease nerve pain and can restore damage nerve ala for chronic hep c take 300 mg twice daily I take 600 once daily cheap that way nac increase glutathione level help prevent cancer is also anti viral support the immune system protect the liver the dosage for nac is about 3 time the high dose of ala 500 600 mg 3x daily with food take with 1000 3000 mg c 50 mg zinc and 200 mcg selenium for good result also take your b vitamin c e selenium and silymarin milk thistle extract but no pun intend the good way to increase glutathione in the liver is with coffee enema it increase the level 6 7 time how to do a coffee enema get some really good therapeutic roast very light roast organic coffee bean I get mine from cafemam http cafemam com store choose the regular under caffiene choose therapy roast under roast if you do not have a really good grinder choose therapy grind under grind choose whole bean if you can grind it yourself cheap little 20 grinder are not go to last long grind these superb quality bean I use a family grain mill I also use it to grind brown rice for my dog meal it also grind oat into flour and there is another attachment that flake oats so much well fresh for sure the recipe put some filter water into a saucepan with a tight lid about 2 cup you ll measure it later when you add cold water or that is to cool it down add 4 t ground coffee bean bring to a boil boil for 3 minute I turn it down to a low boil and since the stove is electric I turn it down to simmer after 2 minute so it is ready for the lid put the lid on and let it simmer for 15 minute strain into a coffee carafe or other glass jar at least a quart size add filter water and that is cube to cool it and to make a quart I also add a few drop of liquid mineral since enemas tend to take mineral out of your body the therapy I use a fleet enema bottle nice and small and easy to keep clean and to replace those big red enema bag come from china and are hard to clean you can buy an enema bucket if you feel like it I prefer the fleet it is easy to hold 4 oz of liquid lube the tip with a good oil and insert you can lay down assume the knee and chest down position or just bend over at the waist roll the bottle as it empty like roll the tube of toothpaste hold for 12 minute and release repeat until the coffee is all use up after the first insertion and empty if you re in a hurry you can put a couple of bottle in at once as the first time will empty the colon and make room for more that is about it rinse the bottle out when you re do and the tip and let they dry for the next time do not leave coffee in the bottle if you re concerned as I am about plastic leaching fill it and use the content right away there will be a little left in the bottom of the bottle not a big deal for I but you can take the lid off and let air in and empty it all the way or you can leave enough air at the top when you fill the bottle to get all the coffee out the first time and if you eat the food take the supps and do the coffee think how much help you ll be give your liver no but about it laugh out loud oh almost forgot exercise also increase glutathione production to your health and the good source to boost glutathione level is all of the above,neutral,1

hi I am try to figure out how to chose between the two mutually exclusive approach recommend by my doctor 1 have the radiation scan and ablation commonly associate with treat papillary thyroid cancer or 2 do not have it because my tumor was so small and show no sign of have metastasize detail the total thyroidectomy I have on july 18 2008 reveal a 0 7 cm unifocal tumor papillary carcinoma with no lymphovascular invasion probably extraneous detail here but a multinodular goiter was also find and one of my parathyroid was remove possibly less extraneous I am 53 female no previous thyroid cancer in my family to my knowledge but my mother die of breast cancer at 63 and her mother die of liver cancer at 54 I have not been diagnose with any other form of cancer and I am generally in good health the hospital where the surgery was do have a very advanced nationally recognize program on thyroid cancer the surgical team recommend that because of the tumor small size and apparently unmetastasize state that I not proceed with a radiation scan and ablation the 2006 american thyroid associations management guideline appear to I to back up their conclusion my endocrinologist however believe I should proceed with the radiation scan and ablation and have recommend treatment at another hospital which though the program there is head by a doctor with a national reputation in the thyroid cancer field is not as a program as well regard as the one recommend against scan ablation I have see the endocrinologist all of twice in my life when ultrasound and fine needle aspiration point to the need for surgery she refer I to a general surgeon emphasize the convenience of his location location is again her selling point for the program she have recommend to do the scan ablation really their location are no more convenient than the hospital with the nationally recognize program but location strike I as a big so what in this situation in any event when my internist learn of the recommendation that I see a general surgeon she flatly tell I to go to the nationally recognize program where a surgeon who specialize in thyroidectomy would do the procedure that make sense to I so I do not go to the general surgeon my endocrinologist recommend the surgeon I do go to was awesomely good the follow up care do in her absence vacation have been pretty poor however which leave I a little wary of the advice I am get there though as I say the ata guideline appear to back it up at the same time I do not know whether my endocrinologist is base her current recommendation of proceed with the scan ablation on a professional conclusion that the management guideline are not sound or should not be apply to I in particular or just base her position on outdate information or practice on my own I can see pro and con to both approach the scan ablation would reduce my chance of still have a lurk cancer however small those chance are and make monitor less difficult and perhaps even free I from the monitoring process after a few year at the same time the prep for the procedure is not a lark and I have speak with survivor who many year after the procedure are suffer from some pretty significant side effect particularly damage to their salivary gland and are still undergo monitoring just as if they have not go through with the scan and ablation I suppose when the nuclear medicine specialist I have been refer to by my endocrinologist review my record the one with the convenient location he may conclude the same thing as the practitioner at the hospital where my surgery was do I would take that as a clear no scan no ablation decision if he think I should proceed however I am leave with the mix of opinion I have now this is not likely to be a life or death decision whatever I choose to do but I feel stymie one thing I am wonder is whether there are simply two group of practitioner one that always proceed with scan ablation regardless of staging and one that do not proceed with it when the cancer is at the stage mine was at if so the decision is really up to I since whomever else I turn to for advice will offer his or her group standard position and I could create a majority opinion simply by choose a member of one group or the other knowingly or not any thought on how I can figure all this out and go forward with confidence that I am do the wise thing thank very much for read all of this and for contribute your idea,neutral,1

cirrhosis result from the necrosis of the liver cell it is characterize by fibrosis formation of scar tissue and regenerative nodule the disease of cirrhosis and its stage lead to some or complete loss of liver function it may occur at any age of life cause of cirrhosis cirrhosis is most commonly cause by extensive and excessive drinking of alcohol there are other cause which include postnecrotic cirrhosis hepatitis b hepatitis c non alcoholic fatty liver disease autoimmune disease primary sclerose cholingitis stage of the liver disease cirrhosis autommune hepatitis metabolic disorder hemochromatosis wilson disease alpha antitrypsin defeciency galactosemia biliary primary biliary cirrhosis secondary biliary cirrhosis cystic fibrosis genetic hemochromatosis wilson disease chronic venous outflow obstruction budd chiari syndrome pathology of cirrhosis liver cirrhosis is characterize by the formation of regenerative nodule with loss of normal structure there are three type of cirrhosis a micronodular cirrhosis in this type the whole of the liver is uniformly involved regenerative nodule are on the small side being less than 3 mm in size this is due to excessive alcohol consumption b macronodular cirrhosis in this type some section of the liver are normal the size of the nodule will be variable and this type of cirrhosis is see in chronic viral hepatitis c mixed cirrhosis in some case a mixture of both small and large nodule are visible on and through the liver there are 4 stage of liver cirrhosis knowledge about the stage of liver cirrhosis is important for well prevention early diagnosis and effective preventative treatment stage 1 is the early stage which is characterize by minimal damage and a good prognosis for recovery and prevention whereas in the final stage 4 the liver is virtually completely damage and a liver transplant is the only treatment of choice read on to find out more about the different stage of cirrhosis stage 1 the first stage is know as the compensate stage this stage is characterize by inflammation of the liver tissue inflammation is confine to the portal area and do not involve other area of the liver this inflammatory process lead to minor connective tissue formation and scarring of the liver but as the name say these change can be compensate for by the body mean the body will adapt to offset the disease effect this stage is usually asymptomatic but on close examination some patient may have mild jaundice fatigue loss of appetite weight loss dry mouth nausea swelling of the abdomen abdominal pain stage 2 the second stage of cirrhosis is also characterize by inflammation of the liver tissue but at this stage the liver start to show area of fibrosis fibrosis are the stiff band that are form by the replacement of normal liver tissue with the scar tissue it is irreversible and can never return back to normal liver tissue however new liver cell can generate in this stage inflammation is not only limit to the portal area but involve the whole liver the change in this stage can be compensate for by the body stage 3 in the third stage the inflammation and fibrosis start to involve other area of the liver and the condition become more severe as the fibrosis extend to the other tissue it form bridge fibrosis bridging fibrosis not only impair the normal functioning of the liver but also affect the blood pressure level in the liver a condition know as portal hypertension a patient with stage 3 cirrhosis will not be able to digest fat so he may present with fat soluble vitamin deficiency vitamin a d e and k stage 4 stage 4 of liver cirrhosis is also know as the decompensate stage or end stage liver disease esld it is the most advanced stage and in this stage the body can no long compensate for the damage liver fibrosis extend to every part of the liver and a liver transplant is need to save the patient life stage 4 may also involve the spleen and kidney a patient with the 4th stage of liver cirrhosis may develop the follow symptom in addition to the symptom of the 1st stage fever pedal edema ascite jaundice pruriti plamar erythema easy bruise bleed stage 4 liver cirrhosis increase the risk of many complication e g ascite variceal hemorrhage spontaneous bacterial peritonitis hepatic encephalopathy and liver cancer some of these complication can be life threaten investigation of cirrhosis the follow test are perform to check which stage and what type of liver cirrhosis the patient may have liver function test albumin prothrombin time liver biochemistry serum alkaline phosphatase serum aminotransferase serum electrolyte sodium level serum creatinine viral marker serum autoantibody serum immunoglobulin iron index and ferritin copper ceruloplastin alpha antitrypsin in addition to these laboratory investigation imaging study check for the change in the size and shape of the liver some of these include ultrasound ct scan endoscopy and mri scan a liver biopsy is usually necessary to confirm the type and severity of liver disease management of cirrhosis of the liver in the compensated stage treatment of the underlying cause of cirrhosis can reverse the cirrhotic change in the liver if catch early enough and patient can lead a normal life patient should reduce their salt intake and should avoid aspirin nsaid and alcohol in the de compensate stage management of complication should be do ultrasound test should be do after every 6 month to detect the early development of hepatocellular carcinoma a liver transplant is usually need in the 4th stage prognosis of cirrhosis in general the survival rate of cirrhosis is 50 but this vary with the etiology stage and presence of complication much can be do through early intervention and look at lifestyle factor such as the food you eat and follow a strict liver friendly diet complimentary medicine no alcohol exercise supplement to boost your whole system and especially take care to look after yourself on every level when you have cirrhosis of the liver please use this as you wish I post this because I notice that there is some confusion in this forum regard the progressive stage and treatment available as well especially certain diet that are helpful in prevent the liver from progress to rapidly from one stage to the next which is the key to survive and avoid the decompensate stage 4 where only a transplant can treat such a damage liver for now one day this may change for the well but until then the good we can do is to stop it is

hdv hepatitis e hev and hepatitis g hgv recent scientific evidence also suggest the existence of other as yet unidentified hepatitis viruse the most common type of viral hepatitis are hepatitis a b and hepatitis c both hepatitis b and c can lead to serious permanent liver damage and in many case death there are two primary type of viral hepatitis food borne and blood bear hepatitis the former which is spread through contaminated food and water do not cause chronic liver disease by contrast bloodborne viral hepatitis may lead to long term persistent infection and chronic liver disease that have lethal consequence many year after infection this is the picture of a 64 yr old man he is very fatigued see how skinny his arm are how thin his skin at the side of his head his belly is swollen due to fluid accumulation and his umbilical area protrude with an irregular hard feeling area next to this he have turn yellow he survive a horrible car accident some 40 year ago with a rupture spleen he receive blood transfusion an estimate 20 unit he have present to we 38 year later when he develop fluid overload ascite the first symptom of cirrhosis due to transfusion acquire hepatitis c infection after an initial favorable response to treatment with diuretic he rapidly decline he lose weight become skinny develop increasingly difficult to treat fluid and was diagnose with a malignant tumor that have develop on the basis of cirrhosis hepatocellular carcinoma by then this have become incurable disease a few week before his demise he allow we to take this picture if it could serve to improve the outcome of this devastating disease for other his history present a bad case scenario too many people worldwide walk around and go undiagnosed with hcv infection until finally symptom develop like in he transfusion associate hepatitis c have become very rare because blood is so much well screen hepatitis a is usually transmit by drink water or eat food that have been contaminate with fecal matter contain the virus thus the risk of contract hepatitis a generally depend on the hygenic and sanitary condition in a give area the center for disease control estimate that 150 000 people in the united states are infect each year by hepatitis a a low rate compare to the underdeveloped country there are two approve vaccine available in the you s for protection against hepatitis a as is common with the other form of viral hepatitis the infected person may not have any symptom when they do occur symptom resemble the flu normally appear during the first four week of infection these include fatigue nausea vomit pain in the liver area dark urine or light colored stool and fever liver function test are elevate with many adult develop jaundice most people recover from the hepatitis a virus within six month without any serious health problem hepatitis a virus fecal matter from an infected person have a high concentration of the virus the virus can survive in fecal matter on a person hand or other surface for three to four hour at normal room temperature eat utensil are a frequent source of infection as are contaminate shellfish and I v drug use intimate contact of any kind with an infected person can also transmit the virus a very small percentage of people frequently those have pre exist liver disorder risk serious complication from hepatitis a federal mortality statistic for 1992 list hepatitis a as the primary cause of death for 82 people in the united states hepatitis e hepatitis e whose symptom and method of transmission resemble hepatitis a is cause by a virus commonly find in the indian ocean region africa and in underdeveloped country test for hepatitis e is being develop but is not yet available commercially the symptom of hepatitis e are like those of hepatitis a although the period of illness may be as long as several month hepatitis e is rarely if ever responsible for cause of chronic hepatitis adequate sanitation and good personal hygiene reduce the risk of hepatitis a and e water should be boil prior to its use if any question of safety exist similarly in area where sanitation is questionable food should be cook well and fruit peel those planning to travel to area where hepatitis a or e is widespread are advise to take immune globulin before leave hepatitis b virus hepatitis b virus hbv formerly call serum hepatitis is much more prevalent than hiv the virus that cause aid an estimate 1 2 million americans are currently chronic carrier of hbv with more than 300 million carrier in the world hepatitis b may develop into a chronic disease last more than 6 month in up to 10 of the newly infect people each year if leave untreated the risk of develop cirrhosis scarring of the liver and liver cancer is greatly increase this disease is much more infectious than hiv it is transmit through infected blood and other body fluid seminal fluid vaginal secretion breast milk tear saliva and open sore in the you s hepatitis b is spread predominantly through sexual contact other risk group include health care worker prison inmate and personnel iv drug user and recipient of blood transfusion prior to 1975 in family it appear that the virus can be casually spread from adult to child the onset of hepatitis b is gradual as with other form of hepatitis most people who get hepatitis b have no recognizable sign or symptom but some people do experience flu like symptom such as loss of appetite nausea and vomit fever weakness tiredness as well as mild abdominal pain less common symptom are dark urine hepatitis b virus and yellowing of the skin and eye jaundice the only way these disease can be positively identify is through blood test however over 90 to 95 percent of adult patient recover within six month while 5 to 10 percent develop chronic hepatitis or become carrier severe manifestation of chronic hbv infection include development of scarring of the liver cirrhosis and liver cancer which usually occur decade later an hbv carrier is someone who have have hepatitis b in their blood for more than six month a carrier usually have no sign or symptom of hbv but remain infect with the virus for year or for a lifetime and is capable of pass the disease on to other two type of vaccine are available to prevent hepatitis b hepatitis d virus infection with hepatitis d hdv occur only in patient already infect with hepatitis b hepatitis d is spread mainly by contaminate needle and blood I v drug user have a high incidence the simultaneous infection with hbv and hdv produce more severe illness and high rate of long term liver failure than hbv alone the disease is usually self limited and due to its co dependence on hbv hepatitis d is effectively prevent via the hbv vaccine hepatitis g a newly identify strain of hepatitis hepatitis g is currently under study the first major study of virus have report that those infect by mean other than blood transfusion do not develop chronic liver disease although for most the virus remain in their blood for several year it is not clear at this time how widespread hepatitis g is what the mean of transmission are or what its precise effect are on infect patient other hepatitis virus there is accumulate evidence that other hepatitis virus exist in part due to the fact that the know virus a through g do not explain all case of hepatitis that are believe to be cause by virus detailed study are currently underway however the clinical significance and public health impact of other hepatitis virus remain unknown the identification of the hepatitis c virus in 1989 solve a grow mystery over the past ten year large number of hepatitis victim have begin to appear apparently with a virally cause disease but when examine these patient test negative for both hepatitis a and b the unknown disease was know as non a non b hepatitis when a test was develop in 1990 to identify individual infect with hepatitis c hepatitis c was find to be responsible for the majority of these case and it have quickly prove to present a frightening challenge in contrast to most other type of hepatitis more than 80 of hepatitis c hcv infection become chronic and lead to liver disease hepatitis c in combination with hepatitis b now account for 75 of all case of liver disease around the world liver failure due to hepatitis c is the lead cause of liver transplant in the united states since hepatitis c infection is typically mild in its early stage it is rarely diagnose and is often not recognize until its chronic stage when it have cause severe liver disease with a typical cycle of disease from infection to symptomatic liver disease take as long as 20 year the true impact of this disease on our grow infect population will not be apparent for many year for this reason it is often refer to as the silent epidemic micrograph of liver cell afflict with the mysterious non a non b hepatitis hepatitis c was find to be responsible for many of these case it is suspect that there are at present more than 4 5 million people in the united states that are infect with hepatitis c and more than 200 million around the world make it one of the great public health threat face in this century and perhaps one of the great threat to be face in the next century a vaccine against hepatitis c may not be available for many year to come and there are already many time more people infect with hcv as have hiv the virus that cause aid without prompt intervention to treat infected population and prevent the spread of disease the death rate from hepatitis c will surpass that from aids by the year 2000 and it can only get bad hepatitis c is believe to be transmit only by blood however unlike many other blood borne virus like hiv virtually any source of blood or blood product seem to be capable of carry the virus even if the source is indirect like a used razor for example this make hepatitis c far more transmissible than most other blood borne virus include hiv many hepatitis c victim contract the disease through blood transfusion in the 1970 and 1980 rate of post transfusion hepatitis during this period were determined to have been between 8 and 10 effective bloodscreening for the virus was develop and implement by 1990 which lower the rate of post transfusion hepatitis to less than 5 from 1990 1993 since then improve testing have lead to drastic reduction in risk down to less than 1 after 1993 however anyone who have a blood transfusion prior to that time is at risk for having been infect incidence of hepatitis c infection among hemophiliac remain high through 1993 because plasma use to treat hemophilia is often a mixture from many different donor however incidence of new infection among hemophiliac have rapidly approach zero as well method have been employ tattoo as well as many body pierce practice such as acupuncture and ear pierce have contribute significantly to the spread of hcv even in industrial nations needle stick injury contaminate medical equipment and blood spill in health care table illustrate the transmission of the various form of viral hepatitis setting are also responsible for many case of hcv the most significant risk behavior for hcv infection is drug use particularly I v drug use and is responsible for about 30 40 of all identify case of hepatitis c as with hiv the sharing of contaminated needle and other drug paraphernalia increase the chance of infection dramatically incidence of infection among I v drug user have surpass 50 percent in many study and reach 100 percent in other cocaine user have also been show to transmit the virus by share snort straw heterosexual or homosexual activity with multiple sexual partner have been clearly identify as a mode of transmission but the exact risk is unknown because of the lack of sufficient information person in long term monogamous relationship are not advise to change sexual practice day to day contact with another household member that have hepatitis c have also been strongly implicate maternal infant transmission have also been document as a mode of spread certain specialized risk have also been identify such as manicure share toothbrush or straight razor in barber shop in more than 40 of all case the infect individual can not identify a source for their infection it is believe that most of these are due to know risk factor however in more than 10 of all case no risk factor can be identify there are clearly other as yet unidentified mode of transmission the c everett koop institute dartmouth medical school dartmouth hitchcock medical center dartmouth although its mean of transmission is fairly well document the hepatitis c virus itself largely remain a mystery hepatitis c is extremely small even for a virus it is only about 50 nanometer in diameter a nanometer is one billionth of a meter if you place 200 000 hepatitis c virus end to end they would be only a single centimeter long they are so small that they have no color they are in fact small than the wavelength of visible light however what is know about hepatitis c underscore the type of threat that it pose hepatitis c is an rna virus which mean that it mutate frequently once an infection have begin hepatitis c create different genetic variation of itself within the body of the host the mutate form are frequently different enough from their ancestor that the immune system can not recognize they thus even if the immune system begin to succeed against one variation the mutant strain quickly take over and become new predominant strain as a result the development of antibody against hcv do not produce an immunity against the disease like it do with most other virus more than 80 of the individual infect with hcv will progress to a chronic form of the disease as a result of this hepatitis c is usually not self limit as a disease in more than 85 of all case whether they progress to chronic liver disease or not the infected individual carry the virus for life this mean that they also remain hepatitis c viruse contagious for a lifetime able to transmit the virus to other and because of the long progression of the illness even patient who will eventually die as a result of hepatitis c carry the virus for decade before it take their life most epidemic are self limit they spread rapidly but over a short period of time the affect population either die or develop an immunity to the disease and it stop spread not so with hepatitis c much like hiv and aids it last a lifetime and kill slowly give the virus plenty of time to spread there are six basic genotype of hcv with 15 record subtype which vary in prevalence in different region of the world each of these major genotype can differ significantly in their biological effect in term of replication mutation rate type and severity of liver damage and detection and treatment option however these difference are not yet clearly understand the 21 current variation in genotype complicate by the constant mutation of the virus within infect individual represent a major challenge for the development of treatment and vaccine against hcv and even for reliable detection of the virus there is no guarantee that a treatment test or vaccine against one strain will be effective against all of they moreover individual cure of one strain will be prone to reinfection by any of the other strain the structure of the hepatitis c virus is like that of most complex virus a core of genetic material rna surround by a protective shell of protein and far encase in a lipid fatty envelope of celluar material however the fact that the genetic information of the virus is store in rna not dna have important consequence in the life cycle of the virus and give hepatitis c its dangerous ability to mutate all organism with the exception of the rna virus store their permanent information in dna use rna only as a temporary messenger for information dna is quite a stable molecule not particularly reactive with other molecule and the process which reproduce it make very few mistake in the process of copy the molecule between one in 1 million and 1 in 10 million most of these mistake are normally correct even when they do occur this make dna an ideal format for the storage of information for mutation error only rarely occur and most are not significant rna by contrast is a quite reactive molecule capable of react even with itself under the correct condition it also make frequent mistake during copy average one mistake per 10 000 nucleotide each time it is copy these property make rna very poorly suit for the storage of information however these very propetie make rna ideal for the storage of viral information once the immune system have learn to recognize an infecting virus and create antibody against it develop an immunity it can quickly destroy it so the virus can no long use that host for reproduction in order to reinfect a host it must first change its nature enough that the immune system will no long recognize it in other hepatitis c virus structure of the viral capsid is clearly visible word it must mutate the unstable nature of the rna molecule provide this mutagenic factor allow the hepatitis c virus to develop new genetic variation of itself as discuss early the mutate form are frequently different enough from their ancestor that the immune system can not recognize they so if the immune system begin to succeed against one variation the mutant strain quickly take over and become new predominant strain because each survive virus reproduce itself thousand of time mutation in the rna sequence occur frequently allow it to evolve fast than any other type of living organism this evolution is know as antigenic drift mutation occur randomly across the entire length of the viral rna and so of course most are not beneficial produce virus which lack a need protein or are otherwise disadvantage however because of the enormous number of offspring produce by each virus even a high rate of mutation do not threaten the survival of the virus and when advantageous mutation do occur they are rapidly select for and reproduce hepatitis c as an rna virus have a powerful reproductive strategy because it store its information in a sense strand of rna the viral rna itself can be directly read by the host cell ribosomes function like the normal mrna present in the cell the virus thus need no special ability of its own it use the cell own ribosome to produce everything it need for its takeover of the cell process and reproduction this mean hepatitis c require only a small amount of rna to encode its core information and thus have lot of room for genetic variation within the non essential portion of its rna this also give it few common characteristic that can be readily identify by the immune system or for that matter exploit by scientist work to create a treatment the hepatitis c virus must attach to and infect liver cell in order to carry out its life cycle and reproduce this is why it is associate with liver disease while little is know about the exact natural process of hepatitis c like other virus it must complete eight key step to carry out its life cycle 1 the virus locate and attach itself to a liver cell hepatitis c use particular protein present on its protective lipid coat to attach to a receptor site a recognizable structure on the surface of the liver cell 2 the viruss protein core penetrate the plasma membrane and enter the cell to accomplish this hepatitis c utlilize its protective lipid fatty coat merge its lipid coat with the cell outer membrane the coat is in fact compose of a fragment of another liver cell plasma membrane once the lipid coat have successfully fuse to the plasma membrane the membrane engulfs the virus and the viral core is inside the cell 3 the protein coat dissolve to release the viral rna in the cell this may be accomplish during penetration of the cell membrane it is break open when it is release into the cytoplasm or special enzyme present in liver cell may be use to dissolve the casing 4 the viral rna then coopt the cell ribosome and begin the production of material necessary for viral reproduction because hepatitis c store its information in a sense strand of rna the viral rna itself can be directly read by the host cell ribosomes function like the normal mrna present in the cell as it begin produce the material code in its rna the virus also probably shut down most of the normal function of the cell conserve its energy for the production of viral material liver cell infect with the hepatitis c virus hepatitis c virus nucleocapsid complete particle although it occasionally appear that hepatitis c will stimulate the cell to reproduce presumably to create more cell that can produce virus which is why hepatitis c is often associate with liver cancer the viral rna first synthesize the rna transcriptase it will need for reproduction 5 once there is adequate rna transcriptase the viral rna create an antisense version the pair opposite of itself as a template for the creation of new viral rna the viral rna is now copy hundred or thousand of time make the genetic material for new virus some of this new rna will contain mutation 6 viral rna then direct the production of protein base capsomere the building block for the viruss protective protein coat ribosome create the protein and release they for use 7 the complete capsomere assemble around the new viral rna into new viral particle the capsomere are design to attract each other and fit together in a certain way when enough capsomere are bring together they self assemble to form a spherical shell call a capsid that fully encapsulate the viruss rna the complete particle is call a nucleocapsid 8 the newly form virus travel to the inside portion of the plasma membrane and attach to it create a bud the plasma membrane encircle the virus and then release it provide the virus with its protective lipid coat which it will later use to attach to another liver cell this process of bud and release of new virus continue for hour at the cell surface until the cell die from exhaustion each survive virus those which are not destroy by the immune system or other environmental factor can produce hundred or thousand of offspring over time this endless cycle of reproduction result in significant damage to the liver as million upon million of cell are destroy by viral reproduction or by the immune system attack on infect cell the c everett koop institute dartmouth medical school dartmouth hitchcock medical center dartmouth college copyright 2011 trustee of dartmouth college the symptom of hepatitis c are difficult to recognize for they are progressive in nature and often very mild at least in the early stage of infection for more than six month follow initial infection the disease is virtually undetectable the most common symptom commencing sometimes year after initial infection is fatigue other symptom include mild fever muscle and joint ache nausea vomiting loss of appetite vague abdominal pain and sometimes diarrhea many case go undiagnosed because the symptom are suggestive of a flu like illness which just come and go or these symptom are so mild that the patient is unaware of anything unusual a minority of patient notice dark urine and light colored stool follow by jaundice in which the skin and white of the eye appear yellow itching of the skin may be present some people may lose 5 to 10 pound individual infect with hcv are often identify because they are find to have elevate liver enzyme on a routine blood test or because a hepatitis c antibody is find to be positive at the time of blood donation in general elevated liver enzyme and a positive antibody test for hcv anti hcv mean that an individual have chronic hepatitis c a advanced cirrhosis in a human liver very small percentage of patient may recover from acute hepatitis c but their anti hcv test will remain positive low level infection in which the infected individual is virtually asymptomatic but still highly contagious may continue for year even decade before progress significantly however more than 80 of infect individual eventually progress to the chronic stage of the disease which seem to eventually result in cirrhosis scarring of the liver tissue and end stage liver disease this appear to take on average about 20 year to develop at this point the symptom are commensurate with liver disease or liver failure include jaundice and abdominal swelling due to fluid retention call ascite depend on the severity of the liver disease and whether or not cirrhosis have develop some patient with cirrhosis do well over time while other die in 10 and sometimes 5 year disorder of the thyroid intestine eye joint blood spleen kidney and skin may occur in about 20 of patient primary liver cancer can also develop from hepatitis c a late risk factor which seem to be present 30 year or so after infection live with hepatitis c can be a difficult and frustrating experience constant fatigue and low level illness is common and the symptom can increase the emotional toll of deal with long term disease available treatment are painful uncomfortable and often bad than the symptom of the disease itself however because of the long course of the infection infect patient have long life expectancy and with proper treatment many of they can recover completely cope with fatigue is a common problem for infected individual find a happy balance between relaxation and activity is helpful frequently short nap between activity or outing prevent overwhelming fatigue at the end of the day and limit tire activity on a day by day basis seem to help people find time to regroup many thing can worsen damage to the liver it is important to avoid increase the stress on an already overwork and damage liver alcohol in particular must be avoid study have show that alcohol massively increase damage to the liver in hepatitis c victim other dangerous substance include many toxin such as copper many over the counter and prescription drug include aspirin and vitamin include vitamin a many infected individual find that the hard thing about hepatitis c is the social stigma associate with the disease and other fear of becoming infect as a result of contact traditionally hepatitis have been regard as a disease of the poor and a disease of alcoholic and several prescription treatment for hepatitis c are available many vitamin and common pharmaceutical are toxic unless render harmless by the liver these prejudice have outlive the progression of hepatitis into the population at large in truth the risk of transmission to co worker or other household member seem to be quite low and even sexual transmission is rare the cdc recommend the use of sexual prophylactic by anyone infect with hepatitis c or any other sexually transmissible disease but common contact is not dangerous while it should be keep in mind that there is no known mode of transmission for approximately 10 of case this should not be take as a statement that it can be easily casually acquire routine precaution around blood and avoid the sharing of toothbrush razor and other personal item should provide adequate protection prospect for treatment there is no vaccine for hepatitis c at present and it may be a long time before one become available the great variation in genotype with hepatitis c as well as its frequent mutation make the development of treatment and vaccine extremely difficult liver transplantation may be life save in end stage liver disease but is costly and involve continue health care follow the procedure this treatment option is far complicate by a shortage of liver donor for hcv positive patient under go transplantation

2 win drug test one expect and one a surprise article tool sponsor by by andrew pollack publish november 2 2007 an experimental drug from vertex pharmaceutical help cure more than 60 percent of patient with a tough to treat form of hepatitis c accord to datum to be present at a medical meeting that start today skip to next paragraph relate time health guide hepatitis c the result eagerly await by wall street as well as by doctor represent the high cure rate yet report for the condition and the treatment was accomplish in half the usual time but vertex might have to share a bit of the limelight with romark laboratory a tiny privately hold company that already sell a drug call alinia that is use to treat diarrhea cause by certain parasite but that suddenly is emerge as a potential treatment for hepatitis c in a presentation that have escape the attention of wall street though it is to be make at the same meeting researcher are to report that alinia help cure as many as 79 percent of hepatitis c patient although they have a form of the virus that might be slightly easy to treat than the type vertex take on there will be skepticism because this have come out of right field say dr emmet b keeffe chief of hepatology at stanford who is a consultant to romark but dr keeffe say that he have overcome his own initial skepticism and that the result were pretty exciting both development expert say will need to be follow up by large trial but the progress could be important for patient at least three million americans are think to be infect with the hepatitis c virus and the number of case of liver cirrhosis and liver cancer cause by the virus is rise the exist treatment a combination of two drug alpha interferon and ribavirin can cause debilitate side effect like flulike symptom anemia and depression the treatment for type 1 hepatitis c the hard to treat form that account for 70 percent of the case in the united states take nearly a year so the hunt for new drug have been intense and vertex a publicly trade company base in cambridge mass is widely acknowledge as the front runner its pill call telaprevir or vx 950 interfere with a viral enzyme this is how most aid drug work but it is a new approach for hepatitis c while vertex have previously show that telaprevir can sharply reduce virus level in patient blood the new datum to be present at the meeting an annual gathering of the american association for the study of liver disease in boston is the first strong signal of how many patient could be cure in a midstage trial in the united states of 250 previously untreated patient 61 percent of the people who receive telaprevir in addition to the two standard drug have no detectable virus in their blood 24 week after the end of the treatment a vertex executive say doctor consider that an effective cure in a european trial of 323 patient about 65 percent of those who get the three drug combination have no detectable virus 12 week after the end of treatment both rate are high than the 40 to 50 percent cure rate now typical for type 1 hepatitis c use the standard drug alone perhaps as significant doctor say the treatment take 24 week instead of the usual 48 that mean patient would have to endure the side effect of interferon and ribavirin for a short time these are exciting finding say dr ira m jacobson of weill cornell medical college who will present the result of the american trial at the meeting and is a consultant to vertex but the number are pretty much what wall street expect and many more people get the three drug stop treatment because of side effect than those get the standard therapy the trial cure rate for the standard therapy are not yet available the romark datum come from a study in egypt of only 96 previously untreated patient alinia also know as nitazoxanide have previously been test there as a treatment for parasite of the patient who receive alinia along with the two standard drug 79 percent have no detectable virus 12 week after the end of treatment that compare with 43 percent in the control group receive the standard treatment while the total treatment last the usual 48 week the patient receive the two standard drug for only 36 week the patient have type 4 hepatitis c which is rare in the united states some expert say type 4 was slightly easy to treat than type 1 romark which is base in tampa fla and have about 20 million in annual revenue have begin a trial in the united states the drug effectiveness against hepatitis c was discover almost by accident when test as a treatment for parasite the drug show sign it was counter liver infection dr keeffe who is research how the romark drug work say that because alinia is already on the market and appear to have few side effect some doctor might prescribe it off label to treat hepatitis c it cost about 30 a day for the two pill need it is legal for doctor to prescribe medicine for use other than those the food and drug administration have approve but a drug maker can not promote its medicine for those off label use before formal approval were all look for well therapy for our patient and this look like a very benign thing to do dr keeffe say but dr jacobson of cornell say that would be very premature,neutral,1

from hcvadvocate org september newsletter a great site for lot of info healthwise choose not to treat hepatitis c lucinda k porter rn imagine this scene your medical provider recommend treatment for chronic hepatitis c virus infection hcv you ve have hcv for 30 year and your liver is moderately scarred you have genotype 1 so treatment will likely last for 48 week you have read about the side effect of the medication and after careful consideration you d rather take your chance with hepatitis c than with the treatment regular healthwise reader probably think I am go to try to persuade this fictitious patient to reconsider after all if I do not believe in treatment I would not have try it once let alone twice however the decision to undergo treatment is a complicated one and what work for I might not work for other so this month I am head in a different direction I explore the other pathmake the choice to not treat I recommend way to support your liver and general health this advice apply to nearly everyone but particularly those with liver disease there are many reason for reject hcv treatment here are some you are concerned that you might not be able to work you are trouble by the potential side effect particularly depression you are bother by the fact that the medication is give by self injection and concern it may trigger a relapse from drug recovery you distrust the pharmaceutical industry and their product you are committed to natural or alternative medicine you are afraid that treatment will be unendurable you are paralyze by indecision you are scared that the medication will harm maim or kill you favor wait for well hcv medication you are unwilling to go through treatment without well odd of success you feel well and do not want to give that up for a year your liver have little or no fibrosis and wait make sense you think a sharp stick in the eye sound like a well alternative let we assume you discuss all of this with your medical provider and your mind is make up now what first and foremost minimize stress to your liver abstain from alcohol use if you are not willing to quit limit your drinking to no more than one standard

a battle worth fight the heavy old wooden front door of the old brick ranch house groan as it was violently fling open I immediately feel the sticky hot humid outside air hit as soon as I put one foot outside the door the sun was just begin to set create a sky dust with blue and pink beauty in the midst of pain I gasp at the outside air I was become to feel trap inside of the crowd house and have to get out one unsure footstep at a time I make my way down the black asphalt semi circle front driveway dodge the prickly gumball speckle the way a centerpiece of the front yard the giant old sweet gum tree never fail at leave massive amount of gumball everywhere the burn asphalt scorch my bare foot with each step make yet too much was go on in my head to notice the burning feel the far away I walk from my lifelong house the less control I have over my direction at the end of the driveway a jolt come across my whole body and my leg swing into a sprint lead the way down the hilly street my long dirty blonde hair whip against my back as I fly down from the top of the hill clutch at my rhinestone cover flip phone in one hand a last lifeline to reality one I was not yet ready to utilize my leg keep on move like wheel on a bike and at the end of the road I take a sharp turn I stealthily make my way across a neighbor lawn sprint through thick green grass still wet from the sprinkler eventually I make my way onto a run trail and slow down a bit heart still pump at a swift rate in my chest tall ancient oak tree line the trail provide a sense of escape from the outside world a seemingly never end pale concrete path weave through the tree create a winding trail I could not help but feel the urge to follow the shady patch was a familiar peaceful place that I love to go bike riding along as a child no one else was around and the only sound were that of the neighborhood street nearby and hidden bird chirp in the tree I wish I could just stay there for forever leave the awful unfold reality behind I was do what I feel the most comfortable to do and what I have been do throughout the past year run away from my problem my leg come to a slow walk as I gasp for air try my good to block any thought out of my head I wonder how long I could stay go without anyone in the house noticing I look down at the phone in my hand and take a deep breath punch the number into the light key I begin to shake and know there was no turn back now the second the word come out of my mouth I know there was no more pretend thing were okay and it was official I could no long fake that my family was perfectly normal the game of make believe was do as the voice on the other end answer I open my mouth and in a scared shaky voice declare its over it can be seemly hard to realize exactly how many advancement have been make in medicine over the year until you compare the past to the present a recent phone conversation with my 90 year old grandfather put modern cancer medicine into perspective for I ben bronson was only 15 year old back in 1935 when his old sister fall ill the doctor at the time were only able to diagnosis his sister with suffer from a tumor in her colon this diagnosis at the time was ultimately write off as a fatal one with no treatment in sight what the doctor were not aware of at the time though was anything about what exactly cancer was or way to treat cancer research and technology have not come that far yet and those suffer from what today is now know as cancer have little to no chance of survival today what his sister ultimately lose her life over would be consider colon cancer and while now there are treatment option a complete cure is still yet to be reach in may 1940 time magazine report that since 1900 over 3 and a half million people in the you s have suffer from cancer and most of the people suffer ultimately die from the disease divide 3 and half million by the 40 year there was an average of 87 500 people suffer from cancer each year the time magazine article go on to call cancer the great of all hazard of live and it will probably always remain in this position of importance and may even become much more prominent as a cause of death while in 1940 87 500 people suffer from cancer each year seem a surmountable number today in 2010 newsweek sharon begley report that cancer is project to kill 569 400 this year alone these number are basically state that even with large leap in medical advancement more people then ever are die from the disease statistic like these can be entirely disparage and leave lot of question one of the question I know I continue to ask myself to this day is where do all the money go that is give to fund cancer research and why are all of these fund not produce significant result and lower the number of people suffer while these number project that cancer is in a bad position then it was back in 1940 there is still hope on the horizon normal sixteen year old do not really have any significant worry in their life and nothing too press that is on their mind average sixteen year old are count down the day eager to get their driver license and cringe in jealously every time a friend is able to get their license before they they yearn to be with their friend every second of the day and frown at the idea of have to spend time with their family family time become unimportant in the eye of a teenager something they are only willing to do when force the most important thing in the eye of a sixteen year old are being like and try new thing life have not yet become serious in the eye of a sixteen year old and there are few real worry year sixteen was different for I though it was the year I was deal a hard hand in the game of life and through force learn the importance of family I experience great disappointment in modern medicine and learn first hand how short life can really be a giant earthquake in the middle of an unsuspecting town it was harsh and it change everything sun pour through the large full length window fill the room with the warmth that can only come from a mid west summer the brick ranch house was quiet and the bird chirp on the bird feeder outside the window could be clearly hear a large oak tree sway in the wind on the patio and the orange tabby cat lay by the full length window memorize by the bird it was the end of summer and I was leave grasp at the stand lay on the giant sectional family room couch I make an effort to change the channel as soon as a back to school commercial come on I hate being home the house and my family was painfully boring and all I could think about was how great it would be once I get my license and could go where ever I want when ever I want to the phone begin to ring yet I ignore it my friend never call the home phone and so to I there was no point in bother to answer it suddenly screams disrupt the sleepy house pierce cry of distress that make my ear ache and my stomach twist I jolt out of my lazy relaxed state on the couch and zone in the source of the noise enter in the kitchen I come upon my mother sit at the kitchen table red face and teary eye so this is pretty much a death sentence she yell into the white cordless phone head hold low and leg shake she looked scarily defeat the anger in her voice send chill through my body immediately my mind shoot back to a few day ago I was lie in her bed and she stand in front of a wall mirror complaining of stomach pain she tell I she have a bad feeling about it and was go to the doctor soon to get it check out I do not have to listen to anything else she was scream into the phone I know what was go on cringe as my stomach begin to turn I feel freeze in that moment finally I was able to move and slowly back out of the kitchen I have a sense that it was good just to give my mother some space at the time I rush to my room and close the door stay out of the way seem to be the good thing to do in the beginning of the summer of 2001 my mother have survive cancer without even know it until the very end the doctor swear the constant stomach pain she suffer from were just constipation and nothing serious to worry about even after persistent visit to the doctor office they swear it could be nothing terrible after all she was only 42 and people that age rarely get cancer they reason quickly the pain become unbearable though and a late night rush to the emergency room prove the doctor diagnosis to be terribly wrong the stomach pain that have start out dull and rise to an intense stabbing pain was not something trivial such as constipation but in fact colon cancer and my mother was on the verge of death an emergency surgery to remove a tumor in my mother colon and the luck of get one of the good surgeon in the midwest save her life the news shock all the doctor who would have never guess the stomach pain was in fact cancer the doctor go on to promise that they get all of the cancer out in surgery and chemotherapy was not even truly necessary my mother though want to make sure and opt to go through month of painful chemotherapy just in case the just in case month of endured chemotherapy prove to not be enough though and the disease make its way back to my mother body in 2004 there at the kitchen table my mother sit take in the awful news this time was much bad though and the news was not only bad but also extremely grim not only have the colon cancer come back to invade her body but it have also metastasize into her liver the national cancer institute explain that metastasis is when cancer cell spread from one part of the body to another form a new tumor in a different organ while metastatic cancer do not always have symptom my mother become to experience pain in her stomach and just have a gut feeling that something was wrong inside the feeling lead she to the doctor and soon the doctor become the bearer of bad news the mid afternoon call from the oncologist reaffirm not only my mother deepest fear but my whole family with the diagnosis of more cancer come another full on battle only this time hope was outnumber with painful reality one by one the troop came rush in for battle as I stay on the sideline watch the reality that set my mother into scream that summer day was that liver cancer have a low survival rate to begin with and metastatic liver cancer have an even low survival rate accord to cancersurvivalrate com the overall worldwide survival rate for liver cancer is 7 five year after initial diagnosis the diagnosis give to my mother was even more grim though and even with treatment the doctor predict she would not survive any long than a year my mother was a fighter though and after swallow a hard pill of bone shake news she gear up for the fierce battle ahead even know how painful go through chemo was she was willing to go through it again I hear tale of the burn feeling that hit as soon as the chemo make its way into your vein and just see my mother agree to go through such a thing without much hope was awe inspire the month that follow the terrible news turn chilly and dark quick then I could have ever imagine winter come in full force storm rumble the door and rattle the hall round and round of chemotherapy slowly begin to suck the life out of my mother weakness strike as hard as expect and soon even simple thing such as get up to get a glass of water become difficult home time become an exhausting time balance take care of myself with help my mother out medcinenet com state that the side effect from chemotherapy include fatigue pain nausea and vomit along with a whole list of effect on other part of the body while my mother suffer all of these side effect to the full the one noticeable common side effect people normally associate chemo with she never suffer from this side effect is most noticeable due to its affect outward appearance and is hair loss even after continual chemotherapy my mother thick long blonde hair was stubborn and refuse to come out chemocare com report that hair loss do not occur with all chemotherapy and that chemotherapy affect each person differently this fact make it seem from an outsider point of view that she was not very sick at all no hair loss also make it easy for I to hide from my friend the truth I do not want any sympathy or for my family to appear as thought it was not normal or that it was fall apart it may seem strange to some but even pretend there was an ounce of normalcy leave was well then let the truth hang out after several week of chemo the result were back on the effectiveness of the treatment and the news was nothing but sicken my whole family have hope and pray for the good but it was just not enough not only have the chemo fail to shrink my mother tumor in her liver but the cancer have start to spread through out her body before I know it family from out of town begin show up at our door and our house was under invasion from the unfamiliar everywhere I look was some relative try to help clean house or cook dinner my grandmother was suddenly live with we sit at the kitchen table to greet I everyday after I come home for school thing go back to normal seem nothing more then a fantasy to I and I wish hard that the fantasy could come true I hate the intruder and my solution was to spend as much time as possible away from home I want my family to be normal again and I want all the people crowd out every corner to leave the sicker my mother become the more faith I lose in the doctor and modern medicine I could not understand how the doctor were not able to get her disease under control and how they were fail at the fight every new trial drug bring new hope hope that was quickly destroy by reality all the medicine continue fail at the fight and turn into disappointment after disappointment it become almost impossible to pretend like nothing was wrong anymore even trial treatment seem to fail to work and soon the cancer have spread to the bottom of her lung at the time I just could not understand how none of the treatment work in combat the cancer and become angry in a way the new york times recently run an article by gina kolata that say 105 billion have been spend on the fight against cancer since 1971 when richard nixon officially declare war on the disease even with all the money spend on research though the disease have continue to keep a steady death rate with only a small drop in number over the year one reason the article state that the battle against cancer have not make much progress is because the grant system use to fund cancer research have become a job program and less of a way to actually make ground break discovery research laboratory lean towards play it safe and spend their time work on small project which are unlikely to lead to a cure for cancer project that could possibly make a difference in cancer treatment or progress towards a cure for cancer are often rule out because of the uncertainty that follow they hear news like this is not only incredibly dishearten but also painful to hear that not everything is being do that could be do to combat cancer patient are suffer family are suffer and society as a whole is ache for a major cancer advancement as a last hope my mother was give incredibly strong chemo and my whole family cross their finger not until this point do my mother truly start to look sick and fragile her full head of hair finally give out and slowly but surely start to fall out she try to cope with the hair loss but it was evident she was becoming defeat her thick blonde hair was her trademark and an asset she gain compliment through her entire life unable to stand up against the harsh drug her hair leave and scarf were a measly replacement weakness spread throughout her body and soon even eat become a hard task quickly weight begin to drop off she it was at a shocking rate and incredibly hard to watch before I know it everyday become a struggle to try and get my mother to eat more it come to the point that I would sit next to she in bed beg she just to take another bite of food think that just maybe it would help my father would be send on trip all across town get her favorite food pain tear throughout my mother body and she become so thin that you could actually see the tumor in her liver protrude out from her stomach it was a ghastly site to see and at time it almost feel as though I was look at the living dead while it would have make sense to want to spend as much time as possible home with my mother I ache to be out with my friend spend the night over at friend house entire weekend I spend more time then ever away from home relish the fact that I have my license and was able to get away whenever it feel strange in a way that finally when I was able to drive my mother was no long able to the cancer drug were impair and not safe to drive while take there I was take over her car and every once in a while I feel that I was take over a role that I was much to young to handle my two brother and I were sit down at the breakfast room at the white table it seem eerily formal and force I look out the large bay window at the road and refuse to acknowledge anything around I I do not want to hear what the strange lady sit across from we have to say I want to get up and leave I do not need some stranger tell I what was go on in my life I could feel it and see it with my own eye my parent think by not tell I everything it would be well but they do not have to because I already know I become a master at eavesdropping and everything they hesitate to tell I find out on my own the lady sit across from I at the table that day was from hospice hospicenet org explain that hospice emphasize palliative rather than curative treatment quality rather than quantity of life hospice come in when someone have a limited life expectancy to aide the person in pain control and comfort as a sixteen year old though I do not see any positive all I see was that my mom was give up on the fight at that moment my heart break and I suffer through the pain listen to this person explain their presence I want they out I want they to stop read this children book to I about a young child parent die from cancer in their home and to let I get about my day I could not comprehend how she could just give up how could she not fight until the very end instead of leave the people multiply in strong force like a virus you just can not shake I spend my time try my good to ignore their existence and when that was not possible I just stay away from home in my mind I know I should be spend time with my mother while I could but my heart could not bear to be inside the house with the many invader there was hospice care giver there was nurse there was ivs and I could not bear to be around any of it my faith in medicine was go and I could not believe that in modern day there truly was no cure everyone was just sit around wait for the last breath to be take in the last two month of my mother life she begin to wither away look more skeletal and less like my mother she was slowly slip away in front of my eye and there was nothing I could do to stop it at time she would say thing do not make any sense at all and I was terrify I want to freeze time and then rewind to back when my family was normal and she was healthy she was on a constant morphine drip and nurse were always at the house life become full of medical supply and pill bottle galore yet everyday she get bad and bad it was painfully hard to watch and I make the decision to leave for the summer once again the cold weather have pass and life come back to the plant and I could not bear to stay in my house with the intruder any long so away I go off to the country ranch like I do every summer only this time it was more run away then enjoy summer break at the ranch life seem normal once again and just what I need in order to breathe take care of horse bring solitude to my storm and everything go on back home become a distant memory that was at least until the day my father show up at the ranch I was in the dusty stable and I see he walk towards out the corner of my eye and I just know the time have come and I was whisk away from my wonderland and back to a depressing reality modern medicine fail to win the fight and I begin to lose hope in its power I timidly push the wrought iron gate open and make my way inside the thick white snow sink down at each step my boot clothe foot make my footprint leave a trail the harsh cold wind whip through the air and I shiver as I make my way along the path I find my target and I take a seat right in the icy snow snow cover the fresh flower lay in front of the stone a surprising sight to see after six year and undoubte the work of my father I think for a moment if this outcome would be the same today year later hope that at least there would be something more to add to the fight today ring through my head though I was not so sure that any more progress have actually been make friend and family come after the end and donate thousand of dollar to cancer research one could only hope that the money have actually been put to work and not use just to fund some unimportant project sit there was a look into the depth and proof now more then ever society need a cure child should never have to lose a parent to such a horrible disease human life is at great risk and for the sustainability of life to continue we can no long afford not to take risk in research after all you you too could be next up to fight the great fight,positive,2

http www newyorker com tech element a well treatment for hepatitis c this is the story of michael sofia create the main drug in harvoni sofosbuvir sofosbuvir was invent by and name after michael sofia the kind of person who daydream about enzyme metabolize drug sofia was raise in a rowhouse on the northeastern side of baltimore his parent a barber and a payroll clerk were both child of italian immigrant and bear within a block of each other in baltimore little italy although they instill an immigrant appreciation for education in their three child who would all go on to work in science sofias read skill were so poor as a child that in the fourth grade he was put in a remedial reading class sofia credit the nun who teach he with transform into a completely different student sofia eventually enrol at cornell and go on to earn his ph d from the university of illinois before leave academia to focus on drug development early in his career at squibb he work on cholesterol lower drug but he prefer work at small biotech company which function more like internet startup to big pharma you have an idea you discuss it you make a decision you move forward sofia explain to I so in 2005 sofia take a risk and join pharmasset then a minor biotech firm when sofia arrive at pharmasset the company have already start move away from the h i v drug development that it was initially know for since the market have become saturate with nucleoside drug that work reliably with manageable side effect nucleoside are the building block of d and a and r and a they can be chemically alter to terminate chain of genetic code early produce something like a defective lego that can not be build onto stop the growth of the virus though this chemistry have been use successfully to treat h I v only a few lab were try this approach with hepatitis c sofia note that one of the company test drug psi 6130 show activity against hepatitis c sofia realize that any effective hepatitis c drug not only need to get into the liver where the virus was replicate but stay there to avoid unintended side effect elsewhere in the body it is relatively easy to transport a drug to the liver when you eat or drink something it is absorb into the bloodstream by the stomach and intestine and in turn flow directly to the liver the bodys metabolic engine the problem is that in their active form nucleoside drug do not enter liver cell sofia hypothesize that if he could shroud a nucleoside with an invisibility cloak to get it into liver cell he could then count on the liver enzyme to break down the cloak and activate the drug once the cloak have been shed the nucleoside would be trap inside protect the rest of the body from exposure a lot of people were tell I when I have this idea that this is never go to work he tell I people have been try to do this for a long time this is a hopeless cause sofia explicitly engineer sofosbuvir with this and a number of other goal in mindthat the drug would be take orally ten time more potent than psi 6130 and effective against all six genotype of hepatitis c begin with a modify version psi 6130 after three year of development sofia and his colleague arrive at sofosbuvir in 2007 what s remarkable accord to sofia is that it was not in fact a happy accident but a product of explicit engineering it do exactly what we design it to do which is one of those thing that hardly ever happen he say sofias clinical colleague at pharmasset begin test sofosbuvir in human patient between 2010 and 2011 when pharmasset medical advisory group review the datum they realize for the first time that sofosbuvir could potentially treat hepatitis patient without interferonconsidere a heresy at the time since then other have conduct large trial of sofosbuvirstudie name positron fusion fission neutrino and valence play on the idea that sofosbuvir is a nucleotidewhich show that the drug is effective against all six genotype of hepatitis c with minimal side effect last month at the liver meeting in washington d c scientist present study show that sofosbuvir could also help cure hepatitis c in hard to treat patient like those who also have h I v or more advanced liver disease there will be more study of sofosbuvir to come include post marketing trial that will look for previously undetecte side effectsa well as research on how sofosbuvir can well be use in combination with other new drug in the pipeline sofosbuvir do have limit however the first genotype of hepatitis c have always been the most difficult to treat and remain so even with the advent of sufosbuvir most patient infect with that genotype still need a combination of interferon injection and ribavirin at least until other new drug hit the market which is anticipate to happen in the next year or two more problematically for the hundred and fifty million people worldwide who suffer from hepatitis c franciscus and other advocate are worried that sofosbuvir and other new drug in the pipeline may be too expensive gilead announce that the wholesale cost of sofosbuvir will be a thousand dollar a pill with the total cost of treatment easily exceed a hundred thousand dollar per patient insurance company meanwhile may only cover treatment for hepatitis c patient who already have liver damage follow the acquisition in 2011 sofia work with gilead for about a year to manage the transition process a time he do not recount fondly when you develop something and you take very personal ownership of it and see it move on to where you re no long involve in a direct way to what s happen to that drug sofia say well its very difficult to go through that afterward sofia and some of his old pharmasset colleague start a new company oncore biopharma to develop cure for hepatitis b hepatitis b is another lead cause of liver cancer and is far more transmissible from mother to child during pregnancy and birth than hepatitis c many who succumb to hepatitis b were infect as infant currently we only have drug that suppress hepatitis b but you may have to take they for the rest of your life to keep the virus in check I ask sofia what he d be call his next drug I consider myself very lucky to have one drug he reply when I was do undergraduate research at cornell I was tell that I have to be comfortable with failure because eighty per cent of what you re go to do is go to fail,neutral,1

those with hepatitis c still face long odd by jane e brody for once there is some good news to report about a bloodborne virus that have infect 4 million americans and 170 million people worldwide the disease hepatitis c will eventually debilitate the liver of many of its sufferer but new case of it have decline 80 percent since the virus was identify in 1988 and blood bank start screen for contaminated donation four year later buta and this is no small buta the annual death toll from the long term consequence of this infection is 10 000 a year in the united states and scientist expect death to triple by 2010 before that statistic begin to decline unless new treatment are develop to eliminate the virus or at least keep its complication at bay indefinitely several such treatment are being study and expert hope they will work as well as those that have radically improve the control of h I v infection if their early promise hold up in clinical trial most hepatitis c infection may be cure or at least render virtually harmless current therapy are lengthy expensive and can cause devastating side effect far they work in only slightly more than half the patient expert have learn enough about the virus and how it is transmit to alert those at risk of the need to be test to take step that can forestall complication and to prevent transmission to other source and symptom unlike h I v the hepatitis c virus is rarely transmit through sexual contact its primary route to a new bloodstream have been through contaminate needle share by drug user and by blood transfusion people with hemophilia and other who receive blood product before the testing for the virus begin may also be infect low rate of transmission affect health care worker expose to contaminated blood through needle stick accident man who have sex with man and baby bear to infected woman fatal case have result from organ inadvertently transplant from a contaminated donor household contact and sexual partner in monogamous relationship are rarely affect but people who engage in high risk sexual behavior with multiple partner and people who have sexually transmit disease face increase risk although those receive tattoo and body piercing in other country can be at risk there is as yet no evidence for transmission by those route in the united states a blood test for the virus rely on the presence of antibody to it but antibodie may not appear for week after the infection a more sensitive genetic test can detect the presence of the virus itself testing is recommend for people who have have blood transfusion or organ transplant before july 1992 or were treat for clot problem with blood product make before 1987 those who have been on long term kidney dialysis and those who have inject street drug even once many year ago not everyone infect become ill some people seem to eliminate the virus and a chronic infection never develop other who remain chronically infected may be free of symptom indefinitely in most case however as with h I v the virus can linger in the body for a long time even decade before symptom of liver damage appear the most serious consequence are severe cirrhosis a scarring of the liver liver failure and liver cancer which have make hepatitis c the lead reason for liver transplant symptom when they appear are usually mild intermittent and easily attribute to other cause the symptom may include fatigue nausea poor appetite muscle and joint pain and mild discomfort or tenderness in the right upper abdomen those who develop cirrhosis or severe liver disease may in addition to complain about those symptom experience weight loss itch dark urine fluid retention and abdominal swelling search for treatment no vaccine against the virus have been develop and prospect for one are not promise because there are at least six major genetic type and more than 50 subtype of the virus and it change rapidly the possibility of a vaccine depend on find an expose part of the virus that remain stable even as its protein coat mutate the main goal of treatment is to eradicate the virus to prevent progressive liver disease exist therapy are most effective in patient with genotype 2 and 3 which represent about 25 percent of patient in the united states the most common one genotype 1a and 1b affect about 75 percent of patient and are the most difficult to treat two main therapy have been develop one involve injection of interferon usually long act pegylate interferon which is inject weekly and the other an oral antiviral drug call ribavirin therapy is most successful when the treatment are use simultaneously but each can cause serious problem in certain patient interferon should not be prescribe for people with serious psychiatric illness unstable heart disease or poorly control diabete people with anemias heart disease stroke and kidney disease should avoid ribavirin as should pregnant woman patient with the type 1 virus are treat for 48 week those with type 2 and 3 do well with 24 week the combination therapy is effective in slightly more than half the case in 42 percent of those with type 1 and 80 percent for those with type 2 or 3 the side effect can be quite miserable at least at the outset but they subside with time and disappear when the treatment end patient report that the drug commonly cause flulike symptom they can seriously disrupt sleep and create havoc with sexual response and personality people tend to become irritable forgetful and seriously depressed and they may lose considerable weight even when treatment seem to have eliminate the virus it can sometimes rebound require a second round of therapy while some expert recommend that everyone who have chronic hepatitis c infection be treat other suggest that each patient in consultation with physician carefully weigh the likelihood that the disease will progress and the benefit and risk of therapy as well as its considerable cost in a recent article in the journal of the american medical association dr joshua a salomon and colleague at the harvard center for population and development study note that 30 percent to 70 percent of infect individual may never progress to cirrhosis before die from other cause the author far point out that progression of the infection was highly variable and unpredictable the probability of develop cirrhosis over 30 year range from 13 to 46 percent for man and 1 to 29 percent for woman they state also the progression of the infection to serious liver disease is less common among patient who are infect when they are young they seem well able to fend off the virus or keep it under wrap with or without treatment people infect with the virus should take step to protect their liver from further damage the step include avoid alcohol getting vaccinate for hepatitis a and consult physician before take any new medicine include over the counter and herbal remedy end of article I just love

hello all I am new here I just get test result indicate I have hepatitis c I have not even speak to my doctor yet I am perplex the only time I could have contract hep c is way back between 1970 1972 when I toy with intravenous drug use a few time it only take once I know since then I was a blood donor for year finally exclude in 1990 when I was tell I have test positive for hep c I was re test and tell the previous test was a false positive but I never return as a donor I have colorectal cancer 4 year ago and no one ever tell I my liver look bad I go through chemo and no one ever tell I my test indicate I might have a poorly function liver I just find out a few week ago that my routine cancer follow up ct scan show that there were indication of liver scarring or fatty liver which are consistent with cirrhosis so I go to a specialist and he run a bunch of blood test and here I am genotype 1a and a signal to cutoff ratio of 28 80 so my question is what the hell how was this miss through all the cancer blood test and ct scan or I wonder if it have lay dormant or beat and then the chemo trigger it have anyone else have hepc for 42 year without symptom so yeah I beat cancer and I will handle this as well but I do wonder how it go undetected for the last 4 year thank you all for you time,neutral,1
hi I just join the group in october I was feel great and get a chest pain hospital test show a mass on the liver they do a biopsy and then surgery to remove it everything I have read say there is only a 10 20 survival rate for hepatocellular carcinoma but the doctor say I have a good chance more like 70 because they catch it early and my liver is healthy they say they will do cat scan to watch my liver every 3 to 6 month the surgeon say to go home and live my life and that there is really nothing else to do as chemo do not work on this type of cancer and they really remove it he do suggest I go see an oncologist about some new pill but his understanding was it only show small result and only in advanced case I have an appointment on 1 6 to talk about this new pill I am wonder if it is nexavar I am confused I feel like this is serious stuff but everyone family friend doctor keep act like they remove the cancer and I will be fine they say I should feel great that the cancer is go and I am fine the surgery was 5 week ago and the incision is still heal but every pain I feel make I feel like the cancer is back or have spread when they first do the biopsy both a nurse and a doctor tell I it was not cancer and it was part of I feel like I should be do something part of I feel like just enjoy life until something bad happen part of I feel they are not tell I I am go to die basically I am bounce off wall as to whether to be happy that they catch it or sad and scare that I have it one minute I say thank you god that they find it early the next minute I feel like I have only a year to live I have friend with cancer this is awful hug to everyone go through this,negative,0

yesterday my cat pokey pass away I have her eight year but she was actually 14 because I adopt she from a family when she was 6 she was always so healthy and kind of plump and love to eat we were the good of friend two year ago is when she first start get sick and I take she to the vet hospital the same time I was have surgery for cancer she have elevate liver enzyme and not sure what that really mean we put she on liver pill and she stablize but last october she have another seizure and I rush she to the vet they take an xray and it look like a tumor on her little liver I do not have the 600 for the surgery and they need the cash up front I do not have pet insurance either I would already spend over 300 on vet bill for diagnostic well we put she on antibiotic and she was okay for a long time sometimes still throw up but always recover but yesterday she was get really bad I again rush to get the medicine come home and she have poope everywhere which was not like she I bathe she in the kitchen sink and try to get her medicine down she and give her water then she start throw up a neighbor come and say she do not look good and another neighbor come in and she was go I should have put she down before but I know she was not suffer in fact she was always eat well and have gain weight this come pretty unexpectedly but somehow I feel she with I as I write this I have give all her cat food to a neighbor to give to a cat rescue in town and getting rid of her thing but keep some I have just lose so many people the last few year include my brother I have just have too much grief the last couple year,negative,0

those with hepatitis c still face long odd by jane e brody for once there is some good news to report about a bloodborne virus that have infect 4 million americans and 170 million people worldwide the disease hepatitis c will eventually debilitate the liver of many of its sufferer but new case of it have decline 80 percent since the virus was identify in 1988 and blood bank start screen for contaminated donation four year later butand this is no small butthe annual death toll from the long term consequence of this infection is 10 000 a year in the united states and scientist expect death to triple by 2010 before that statistic begin to decline unless new treatment are develop to eliminate the virus or at least keep its complication at bay indefinitely several such treatment are being study and expert hope they will work as well as those that have radically improve the control of h I v infection if their early promise hold up in clinical trial most hepatitis c infection may be cure or at least render virtually harmless current therapy are lengthy expensive and can cause devastating side effect far they work in only slightly more than half the patient expert have learn enough about the virus and how it is transmit to alert those at risk of the need to be test to take step that can forestall complication and to prevent transmission to other source and symptom unlike h I v the hepatitis c virus is rarely transmit through sexual contact its primary route to a new bloodstream have been through contaminate needle share by drug user and by blood transfusion people with hemophilia and other who receive blood product before the testing for the virus begin may also be infect low rate of transmission affect health care worker expose to contaminated blood through needle stick accident man who have sex with man and baby bear to infected woman fatal case have result from organ inadvertently transplant from a contaminated donor household contact and sexual partner in monogamous relationship are rarely affect but people who engage in high risk sexual behavior with multiple partner and people who have sexually transmit disease face increase risk although those receive tattoo and body piercing in other country can be at risk there is as yet no evidence for transmission by those route in the united states a blood test for the virus rely on the presence of antibody to it but antibodie may not appear for week after the infection a more sensitive genetic test can detect the presence of the virus itself testing is recommend for people who have have blood transfusion or organ transplant before july 1992 or were treat for clot problem with blood product make before 1987 those who have been on long term kidney dialysis and those who have inject street drug even once many year ago not everyone infect become ill some people seem to eliminate the virus and a chronic infection never develop other who remain chronically infected may be free of symptom indefinitely in most case however as with h I v the virus can linger in the body for a long time even decade before symptom of liver damage appear the most serious consequence are severe cirrhosis a scarring of the liver liver failure and liver cancer which have make hepatitis c the lead reason for liver transplant symptom when they appear are usually mild intermittent and easily attribute to other cause the symptom may include fatigue nausea poor appetite muscle and joint pain and mild discomfort or tenderness in the right upper abdomen those who develop cirrhosis or severe liver disease may in addition to complain about those symptom experience weight loss itch dark urine fluid retention and abdominal swelling search for treatment no vaccine against the virus have been develop and prospect for one are not promise because there are at least six major genetic type and more than 50 subtype of the virus and it change rapidly the possibility of a vaccine depend on find an expose part of the virus that remain stable even as its protein coat mutate the main goal of treatment is to eradicate the virus to prevent progressive liver disease exist therapy are most effective in patient with genotype 2 and 3 which represent about 25 percent of patient in the united states the most common one genotype 1a and 1b affect about 75 percent of patient and are the most difficult to treat two main therapy have been develop one involve injection of interferon usually long act pegylate interferon which is inject weekly and the other an oral antiviral drug call ribavirin therapy is most successful when the treatment are use simultaneously but each can cause serious problem in certain patient interferon should not be prescribe for people with serious psychiatric illness unstable heart disease or poorly control diabete people with anemias heart disease stroke and kidney disease should avoid ribavirin as should pregnant woman patient with the type 1 virus are treat for 48 week those with type 2 and 3 do well with 24 week the combination therapy is effective in slightly more than half the case in 42 percent of those with type 1 and 80 percent for those with type 2 or 3 the side effect can be quite miserable at least at the outset but they subside with time and disappear when the treatment end patient report that the drug commonly cause flulike symptom they can seriously disrupt sleep and create havoc with sexual response and personality people tend to become irritable forgetful and seriously depressed and they may lose considerable weight even when treatment seem to have eliminate the virus it can sometimes rebound require a second round of therapy while some expert recommend that everyone who have chronic hepatitis c infection be treat other suggest that each patient in consultation with physician carefully weigh the likelihood that the disease will progress and the benefit and risk of therapy as well as its considerable cost in a recent article in the journal of the american medical association dr joshua a salomon and colleague at the harvard center for population and development study note that 30 percent to 70 percent of infect individual may never progress to cirrhosis before die from other cause the author far point out that progression of the infection was highly variable and unpredictable the probability of develop cirrhosis over 30 year range from 13 to 46 percent for man and 1 to 29 percent for woman they state also the progression of the infection to serious liver disease is less common among patient who are infect when they are young they seem well able to fend off the virus or keep it under wrap with or without treatment people infect with the virus should take step to protect their liver from further damage the step include avoid alcohol getting vaccinate for hepatitis a and consult physician before take any new medicine include over the counter and herbal remedy http www hcvadvocate org news newsrev newsrev 23

http www emaxhealth com 2 39 32952 how hepatitis c virus remain body html a study publish in the proceeding of the national academy of sciences pnas show that the virus block the action of a specific ion channel in the cell membrane that would usually trigger apoptosis the cell self destruct programme and in do so have evolve another way of protect itself from being eliminate from the body apoptosis occur naturally in the body to allow the removal of unhealthy cell or the replacement of worn out cell one of the way in which apoptosis can be trigger in a cell is to reduce its potassium level this can happen when the cell is expose to oxidative stress that activate a specific ion channel which act as a pore in the cell membrane cause it to open and allow out potassium ion however the research team have discover that a protein make by hcv know as ns5a is able to block the activation of this ion channel in liver cell enable these cell to resist cell death for long for a virus to persist in the body over a long time it have to find a way of manipulate the host cell so that it become resistant to apoptosis say lead researcher professor mark harris of the universitys faculty of biological science we know of many way that virus have evolve to do this but this is the first observation of a virus prevent cell death by manipulate an ion channel hcv affect some 170 million people globally and only around half of these will respond to treatment many sufferer will be asymptomatic some for twenty or even thirty year but the virus remain in the liver and its long tem damage can ultimately cause cirrhosis or cancer cell in the liver are often expose to high level of oxidative and other stress as they work to detoxify the blood of foreign compound such as drug and alcohol and to remove chemical produce by our own body say professor harris in addition the virus itself cause oxidative stress as it replicate in the cell the research show that the virus have evolve another way of protect itself from this natural process and to avoid elimination from the body for long the research team believe that continue research may offer a potential target for drug development perhaps through combination therapy we need to find out exactly how the block action work but its possible that two drug could be couple together one to prevent the virus from block the ion channel and another to induce stress to force apoptosis say professor harris its a very exciting discovery and ideally we d like to expand our investigation to see whether other virus that cause long term or chronic infection such as hiv have evolve the same ability source university of leed,neutral,1
the structure of the hepatitis c virus is like that of most complex virus a core of genetic material rna surround by a protective shell of protein and far encase in a lipid fatty envelope of celluar material however the fact that the genetic information of the virus is store in rna not dna have important consequence in the life cycle of the virus and give hepatitis c its dangerous ability to mutate all organism with the exception of the rna virus store their permanent information in dna use rna only as a temporary messenger for information dna is quite a stable molecule not particularly reactive with other molecule and the process which reproduce it make very few mistake in the process of copy the molecule between one in 1 million and 1 in 10 million most of these mistake are normally correct even when they do occur this make dna an ideal format for the storage of information for mutation error only rarely occur and most are not significant rna by contrast is a quite reactive molecule capable of react even with itself under the correct condition it also make frequent mistake during copy average one mistake per 10 000 nucleotide each time it is copy these property make rna very poorly suit for the storage of information however these very propetie make rna ideal for the storage of viral information once the immune system have learn to recognize an infecting virus and create antibody against it develop an immunity it can quickly destroy it so the virus can no long use that host for reproduction in order to reinfect a host it must first change its nature enough that the immune system will no long recognize it in other word it must mutate the unstable nature of the rna molecule provide this mutagenic factor allow the hepatitis c virus to develop new genetic variation of itself as discuss early the mutate form are frequently different enough from their ancestor that the immune system can not recognize they so if the immune system begin to succeed against one variation the mutant strain quickly take over and become new predominant strain because each survive virus reproduce itself thousand of time mutation in the rna sequence occur frequently allow it to evolve fast than any other type of living organism this evolution is know as antigenic drift mutation occur randomly across the entire length of the viral rna and so of course most are not beneficial produce virus which lack a need protein or are otherwise disadvantage however because of the enormous number of offspring produce by each virus even a high rate of mutation do not threaten the survival of the virus and when advantageous mutation do occur they are rapidly select for and reproduce hepatitis c as an rna virus have a powerful reproductive strategy because it store its information in a sense strand of rna the viral rna itself can be directly read by the host cell ribosomes function like the normal mrna present in the cell the virus thus need no special ability of its own it use the cell own ribosome to produce everything it need for its takeover of the cell process and reproduction this mean hepatitis c require only a small amount of rna to encode its core information and thus have lot of room for genetic variation within the non essential portion of its rna this also give it few common characteristic that can be readily identify by the immune system or for that matter exploit by scientist work to create a treatment http www epidemic org thefact hepatitisc anatomy the life cycle of hepatitis c the hepatitis c virus must attach to and infect liver cell in order to carry out its life cycle and reproduce this is why it is associate with liver disease while little is know about the exact natural process of hepatitis c like other virus it must complete eight key step to carry out its life cycle 1 the virus locate and attach itself to a liver cell hepatitis c use particular protein present on its protective lipid coat to attach to a receptor site a recognizable structure on the surface of the liver cell 2 the viruss protein core penetrate the plasma membrane and enter the cell to accomplish this hepatitis c utlilize its protective lipid fatty coat merge its lipid coat with the cell outer membrane the coat is in fact compose of a fragment of another liver cell plasma membrane once the lipid coat have successfully fuse to the plasma membrane the membrane engulfs the virus and the viral core is inside the cell 3 the protein coat dissolve to release the viral rna in the cell this may be accomplish during penetration of the cell membrane it is break open when it is release into the cytoplasm or special enzyme present in liver cell may be use to dissolve the casing 4 the viral rna then coopt the cell ribosome and begin the production of material necessary for viral reproduction because hepatitis c store its information in a sense strand of rna the viral rna itself can be directly read by the host cell ribosomes function like the normal mrna present in the cell as it begin produce the material code in its rna the virus also probably shut down most of the normal function of the cell conserve its energy for the production of viral material although it occasionally appear that hepatitis c will stimulate the cell to reproduce presumably to create more cell that can produce virus which is why hepatitis c is often associate with liver cancer the viral rna first synthesize the rna transcriptase it will need for reproduction 5 once there is adequate rna transcriptase the viral rna create an antisense version the pair opposite of itself as a template for the creation of new viral rna the viral rna is now copy hundred or thousand of time make the genetic material for new virus some of this new rna will contain mutation 6 viral rna then direct the production of protein base capsomere the building block for the viruss protective protein coat ribosome create the protein and release they for use 7 the complete capsomere assemble around the new viral rna into new viral particle the capsomere are design to attract each other and fit together in a certain way when enough capsomere are bring together they self assemble to form a spherical shell call a capsid that fully encapsulate the viruss rna the complete particle is call a nucleocapsid 8 the newly form virus travel to the inside portion of the plasma membrane and attach to it create a bud the plasma membrane encircle the virus and then release it provide the virus with its protective lipid coat which it will later use to attach to another liver cell this process of bud and release of new virus continue for hour at the cell surface until the cell die from exhaustion each survive virus those which are not destroy by the

new treatment combo well against hepatitis c by steven reinberg healthday reporter wednesday april 29 healthday news add the antiviral drug telaprevir to standard treatment for hepatitis c increase the cure rate two new study show current treatment for hepatitis c hcv genotype 1 the most common subtype is a combination of two drug pegylate interferon and ribavirin give over 48 week this treatment cure less than half of patient and have side effect that make it difficult for some patient to complete the treatment researcher say both report are publish in the april 30 issue of the new england journal of medicine hepatitis c is curable say the lead researcher of the first study dr jean michel pawlotsky from the henri mondor hospital university of paris in france currently 40 to 50 percent of patient infect with hcv genotype 1 can be cure by standard of care but nothing can be offer to the patient who are unable to eradicate infection on treatment for the study pawlotskys team randomly assign 334 patient with hcv to one of four treatment combination of telaprevir peginterferon and ribavirin the result show that by use a triple combination of telaprevir pegylate interferon and ribavirin for 12 week follow by 12 week of pegylate interferon and ribavirin a sustained viral eradication can be achieve in 69 percent of case whereas only 46 percent of patient receive standard of care for 48 week achieve a cure pawlotsky say this is a breakthrough in hcv therapy pawlotsky say for the very first time almost 70 percent cure rate are reach these finding open the way to an ongoing phase 3 trial which could lead to the approval of this combination within the next two year he say the triple combination could become the new standard of care he note in the second study dr john g mchutchison a hepatologist and researcher at duke university medical center and his colleague randomly assign 250 hcv patient to standard treatment or combination therapy with telaprevir pegylate interferon and ribavirin we manage to cure significantly more patient by add telaprevir to standard care mchutchison say we cure 50 percent more patient and we also reduce the duration of treatment from 48 week to 24 week among patient take all three drug 67 percent were cure compare with 41 percent of patient receive standard treatment the duke researcher find mchutchison note that side effect of pegylate interferon and ribavirin can include flu like symptom depression fatigue insomnia and anemia but add telaprevir significantly reduce exposure to these drug which in turn make the treatment easy to complete twenty one percent of patient receive telaprevir do drop out with rash being the most common reason why in addition 7 percent of the patient develop resistance to telaprevir there is an upside and a downside mchutchison say the treatment short we cure more people but unfortunately there are more people who are discontinue there is a phase 3 trial under way mchutchison say if all go well this combination could be available in 2011 he say the future look very bright for people with hcv instead of being able to cure less than half of they we can now hopefully when these drug are approve say to any patient with genotype 1 hepatitis c we ve get a two out of three chance of cure they mchutchison say dr eugene schiff chief of the division of hepatology at the university of miami school of medicine think these study are the first step in a major change in hcv treatment telaprevir represent the type of antiviral therapy for hepatitis c we will see in the future schiff say in the future what you are go to see is a mixture of antiviral and my own prediction is you would not see it with interferon and ribavirin he say schiff think these new medication will get more people to go for treatment because there are few side effect and the treatment time is short in the united states about 4 million people have hcv schiff say most of those people have not been diagnose of the 1 million who have been diagnose maybe 400 000 to 500 000 have been treat and about 50 percent have been cure he say if you have an all oral highly efficacious regiman with relatively few side effect then these people who have not been diagnose but know they have risk factor are go to come forward because when they are diagnose there is go to be treatment that have a high percentage of cure schiff say around the world 180 million people have hcv hcv is the lead cause of cirrhosis and liver cancer and the most common reason for liver transplantation in the united states hcv is spread mostly by share needle,neutral,1

I was look into federal funding for hcv treatment and research and we currently have a budget of 18 3 million dollar per year in the us another way of look at this is about 3 50 per infect citizen what can we do 3 and a half buck by my calculation this do not pay for a single tablet of ribavirin of which I must take over 700 in order to complete treatment now here is where it get outrageous to I hiv recieve 2 1 billion dollar per year through the ryan white program a federally fund program which assist the 1 million americans with hiv in the us this work out to 2100 per individual with hiv in the us now I do not want to diminish the hardship that people with hiv face but I am become all too familiar with the hardship face by people with hcv we need to get more funding if we ever hope to slow the epidemic of hcv I think we should call some people and let they know that we need help this is from http www atdn org index2 html viral hepatitis prevention you can call your representative

hepatitis c do not know that they are infect state and city receive an average federal funding award of 90 000 this is only enough for a staff position and not for the provision of core prevention

hi I am new to this site and am so very afraid that I have a rough road ahead of I I have been have trouble for a very long time but do to other health problem do not even consider my ovary as the problem man of the symptom of ovarian cancer and liver disease are the same so everything have been attribute to my cirrhosis finally see primary doc yesterday and have to go to ob gyn but can not get in for 4 more week I do not have any insurance and am self pay so it is a problem financially to even get to see a doctor they all want I have have low abdominal pain for so long that I can not even remember when it begin I just know that it is constant now that it is always in my head and even though I have wait this long I am scared about wait another 4 week I think part of that is because there is just so much pain involve now when work do dish anything where I lean into a counter or put any kind of pressure on my low abdomen is tremendously painful I could go through the list of symptom and check off just about all of they but as I say many of they are the same as what I have been deal with for year the bad part of this I have a history of cancer when very young I have uterine and cervial cancer both remove when I was 20 in 1980 if that happen today they would have never leave my ovary and this would not be a concern my last exam was in 1995 and I was tell that a pap smear on I is useless since I do not have a cervix and that unless I have any problem there really was not a need for I to have the yearly exam so I have not have they I guess I do not even really know what I am ask maybe what your experience was like what were your symptom and do you know even before you were formally diagnose what was wrong with you thank in advance for any all reply jamie,negative,0

I start post a month ago with my update after not being on here for a few year brief history 5 year ago I was tell after a liver biopsy that I have a year or less to live and no transplant for I because I drink and transplant was all that could help I I was not put on any med and I never hear from that doctor again I quit drinking and spend year on my own healing which I have mention in past post about a month ago I see another liver specialist who want lot of testing and want to put I on transplant list for his fear of my develop cancer due to the cirrhosis he was not optimistic and rattle off statistic instead of look at I as an individual all I want was an ultrasound to see my progress because I know my body was heal I do not see he again and look for another doctor I find one two week ago and he is awesome he listen to I and he actually try to be optimistic even though he have see a lot in his profession I wish that more people know the power of doctor suggestion people hear they need a transplant or they hear all the stat and so their subconscious make it so those thought sabotage their bodys natural instinct to heal I like to think of myself in a speed car head straight to my destination of a healthy liver when doctor say transplant or cancer or whatever it may be that is the opposite of perfect liver health those word whiz pass the driver side window out of the corner of my eye and were behind I in the distance far behind and forget about because I was stay on my road to liver health I mention to the doctor that my liver is my savior and my friend I tell he how whenever I stress about something my liver cramp or swell a little or knock at my abdomen it let I know to breathe and calm my stress because stress can not help you heal when I take notice and calm the stress my liver soften and breathe as well I can feel it he say he find that interesting because he is never think of a correlation between the brain and the liver I tell he that it is true because that is the way it is he then admit that he do not know it all just western medicine guess he never read it in a medical book I do not know so we set up an ultrasound for the following week last week to check on my progress during my ultrasound I ask a lot of question about what was on the screen she keep tell I with a smile that she could not tell I I ask what the red and blue was and she do tell I that it was the blood flow through my liver hmm blood flow that is good so I try something that I do every day with my liver as I watch the screen I send pure love to my liver immediately the red and blue just explode through my liver the blood flow increase big time there is my proof that there is a correlation between the brain and the liver not that I need proof the next day my doctor assistant call with the result I miss the call but listen to the message here what she say your result come up normal call with any question normal what how could it be normal I have cirrhosis what s normal about that I have a mass in my abdoman what s normal about that too I was able to reach the doctor office and ask these question after a long conversation with my doctor she call I back and this is what she say your liver is healthy there is no scar all of your surround organ are in perfect health as well we do not need to check for cancer anymore because you do not have cirrhosis my head was spin and I hug my liver well what about that mass below my liver she say the doctor do not know if you were bear with it or if your liver create it but it is a riedel lobe it is an extension of your right lobe which resemble a 3rd small liver lobe which give you even more healthy cell and well liver function I say to she so I am fine she giggle and say yes sarah you are just fine I thank she as if she have been the one who work for year to reverse the cirrhosis when I hang up the phone I say to my liver we do it I love you and I will always treat you kindly I have always hear that cirrhosis is irreversible because it is scar I have also hear that there is no disease that the body create that can not be reverse why would cirrhosis be an exception I have spend the last few year of my life heal myself mind body and spirit they all correlate combine they make the whole my mother say to I well it is over now now you can just live your life do not ask too many question like you always do miracle happen and leave it at that and just be happy now I am 40 and have a whole new life it feel like new husband new baby I will teach my son and daughter to take care of themselves the big lesson I have learn in this life so far is it is not what you re give it is how you handle it I do not handle well the circumstance that come my way in my life the passing of my sister and my husband find someone new year ago lead I to drink drinking suck I in for year I make a difficult situation even bad it almost kill I I have a lot to teach my kid I am lucky that I get to

http www upmc com service mirm help page artificial liver aspx if complete this would be a temporary fix but in the next 5 year regenerative medicine will probably be to the point where they can take a stem cell of your very own and genetically program it to grow a liver of your own the good part is they could cut away a bad portion of your liver with a laser and remove it through a small opening then implant your cell in your liver and regenerate a healthy liver that would not reject itself because it is your dna some part of the world are already use this therapy although the liver have not been grow in the us that I know of there have been other organ nose heart valve ear and many other thing due to this break through technology so not only will this make get a liver doable it will make it minimally invasive and you do not need a donor so not only are they able to treat the disease they will be able to treat your liver the same procedure could be use for about any organ in your body as well as treat disease such as cancer and hepatitis just to name those two this will be a huge breakthrough in medicine as a whole,neutral,1

salk researcher announce diabetes breakthrough thursday may 12 2011 print e mail researcher at the salk institute for biological study announce thursday theya ve make a discovery that could lead to new treatment for diabetes the scientist have find evidence that a group of enzyme or protein currently under investigation for the treatment of cancer could potentially also work as a treatment for type 2 diabetes this is significant because it not only portend a new treatment for diabetes but it also could mean that a new treatment have already get through the costly and lengthy early stage of drug development our result predict then that some of those drug probably not the same one that work on cancer but some of the one that are sit on the shelf that maybe werena t effective for cancer but in fact hit these enzyme that they could be potential therapeutic for diabetes say dr reuben shaw an assistant professor in salka s molecular and cell biology laboratory that mean that the time from this initial discovery until the time that this can be test in the clinic is much short the salk discovery revolve around enzyme call histone deacetylase or hdac which help the liver produce sugar when blood glucose run low after prolong period of fast particularly at night after a meal insulin instruct muscle cell to store this glucose and turn off sugar production in the liver in patient with type 2 diabetes however the body effectively doesna t listen to insulin and the liver keep produce sugar the salk researcher find that by suppress hdac in mouse with different diabetes model the sugar level go back to normal suppressing hdac have already been find to inhibit tumor growth so a number of pharmaceutical company include merck nyse mrk have work or are work on cancer drug that suppress hdac dr ronald evans a professor in salka s gene expression laboratory say that while this discovery is novel scientist have long notice a link between cancer and diabete particularly because the risk of both disease are increase in obese patient this discovery that suppress hdac can treat diabetes as well as cancer is a way of turn this theory into a potential treatment we know that along with increase weight and obesity there is an increase risk of cancer we also know that cancer cell undergo a profound metabolic change and so the cancer metabolism have become a very big area of study evans say so for those of we who study metabolism and study cancer the link between these two seemingly separate area actually at the level of the genome happen to work with several common pathway he continue because theya re both deal with either consume energy which is what happen with cancer or store energy which is what happen with obesity dr william brody president of the salk institute say this kind of collaboration is a unique feature at the institute which is design to foster discussion between its scientist the institute is relatively small with about 50 scientist make it easy for colleague to get to know one another and discuss their work at the salk we have no department we have no structure brody say we dona t require researcher to teach neuroscience 101 or metabolism 102 or whatever ita s very unique ita s what I call organized chaos because thata s what science is all about ita s a lot of focus on a problem but then open up your eye to see whata s around you user response,neutral,1

if anyone could share their early symptom of disease cause by their alcohol abuse I would appreciate it I was sober 2 year on april fools day funny huh anyhow there are support group for a lot of thing that could be wrong with I since I do not know where to start I think some people here might be able to help cirrhosis maybe one doctor say he see scar but the specialist say he do not think it was surely some kind of liver disease suppose to watch out for cancer pancreatitis several acute attack after 2 visit to the hospital I have fast at home to avoid the expense hemochromatosis doctor suggest the test but no fund for that and no family history besides do not I already have all the complication that could arise without early detection I finally stop have symptom of most everything until my thumb and forefinger start feel bruise and then blacken and redden a bit I go to the doctor since I have not injure my hand in over a month crochet hook stab the nurse do not think it was a delay infection and order cbc with plt diff cmp and rheumatoid arth panel rflx she say maybe my liver is cause easy bruise I do not understand the result except my wbc count is high with all kind of flag I am suppose to see a hematologist but without insurance I do not know how that could help I do not see the real doctor until next week,negative,0
take a chance at life assess the benefit and detriment of hepatitis c treatment to determine when it is most rewarding to undergo treatmenthonora remakextende essayproject teacher melodee soczektechnical advisor jennifer bender willisnovember 29 2004word 3604winston churchill high school international high school eugene oregon copyright 2004 honora rachel remak dedicate to my father bill remak for the physical mental endurance and love to persist in his quest to save his life and to help other survive liver disease and to his donor family that give he the gift of life to continue that motivation the miracle that the gi and transplant team of the university of california san francisco perform on a routine basis are the good we could have wish for and I thank they with all my heart for give my father back to I abstracttopic decide when to undergo treatment for hepatitis c through an assessment of the benefit and detrimentsresearch question what are the benefit and detriment of hepatitis c treatment and when is it worthwhile to undergo treatment method of investigation in order to have an adequate amount of information both primary and secondary source have been find information have been take from book some textbook magazine article website and an interview via e mail an interview have been conduct with a patient the book magazine and internet source are use mainly for background information which have provide the fact need to form an argument and the interview have been use to provide the personal aspect to the argument make it more concrete the patient have first hand experience make this decision and he offer a point of view that you can not capture in text the emotional reflection quality of life and suffer I observe in my dad bill remak introduction in 1999 approximately 170 million people were chronically infect with the hepatitis c virus also know as hcv hagedorn and rice 2000 my father was and still is among that population he believe that he contract the hepatitis c virus when he was a teenager although it do not become active until he was in his mid thirty this lead I to believe that hcv is a lysogenic virus such as hiv which first become a part of the host cell dna rna before become active however I have not find a single source that state this so it is only an idea of mine one liver transplant and a number of treatment later and we find ourselves at the present day he is currently on a treatment that is commonly know as the pegasys treatment this treatment consist of a combination therapy of pegylate interferon and ribavirin the interferon is take by injection once a week and the ribavirin is take orally in the morning and at night each day the dosage of each is prescribe by the doctor and vary from patient to patient remak 10 22 04 during his treatment he have suffer from side effect that have been noticeable by other include myself in order to obtain more knowledge in regard to his experience the follow question will be ask research and finally answer what are the benefit and detriment of hepatitis c treatment and when is it worthwhile to undergo treatment hepatitis c affect the liver in serious way and in chronic case have cause cirrhosis and or cancer there are many treatment available currently to help reduce and even cure hepatitis but they have many side effect also the more resistive the genotype 1a being the great the more resistant to treatment those genotype that are more resistant to treatment are less likely to respond with great efficacy remak 10 22 04 there are thing to consider when choose to undergo any treatment that may affect a patient quality of life but it should not be rule out as a possibility simply because of the detriment a patient must also consider the benefit of the treatment in the long term as well as the short term although benefit and detriment of hepatitis c treatment need to be take into consideration and a doctor consultation is necessary it is worthwhile to undergo treatment as long as a patient feel that it is worth any obstacle they may have to overcome or any problem they may endure if life is still worth live then it is worth do anything in a person power to fight for it what is hepatitis c hepatitis c is a liver disease that cause the liver to inflame swell and stop work correctly nddic what I need to know about hepatitis c the liver is the organ in your body that break down waste material when inflammation of the liver occur the liver can no long properly dispose of waste remak 10 16 04 the hepatitis c disease is cause by the hepatitis c virus that can be transmit through blood contact with an infected person nddic what I need to know about hepatitis c the hepatitis c virus is in the flavivirus family which was declare a separate family in 1984 the flavivirus genome consist of single strand linear infectious positive sense rna the genome is also 11 000 nucleotide long and monopartite the virion of the flavivirus are about 40 60 nanometer in diameter spherical in shape and are surround by an envelope the envelope is small but the surface appear rough or contain very distinct fringe in negative stain oram classification and taxonomy 1998 hepatitis c induce persistent infection and high antibody in the chronically infect oram immune response and host defense 1998 the bodys immune system is unable to get rid of hcv because most of the virus is constrain in complex of virus antibodie the viral genome then produce a chronic carrier state by remain in the liver for many year oram immune response and host defense 1998 but hcv do not overpower the immune system in all case since the case fatality rate from fulminant hepatitis is less than 1 oram immune response and host defense 1998 the build up of bilirubin a waste product in the blood occur when a person have inflammation due to hepatitis c and cause the skin of a person to become a yellow orange color remak 10 16 04 in chronic symptomatic hcv infection fatigue is probably the most frequent complaint the degree of which is unrelated to the severity of liver disease other complaint include depression nausea anorexia abdominal discomfort and difficulty with concentration remak 10 16 04 hcv complication are relate to how long a person have been infect with the virus about 20 of people carry hcv will not develop liver failure and or cirrhosis until they have have the virus for about 20 year or so spolarich oct dec 2003 most people do not show any symptom of the hepatitis c virus until they have have it for 10 15 year and may not know until they have have it for over 20 year mcinni 2002 since most hepatitis c patient are symptom free they may be infect for a decade or more without know it when symptom emerge they can be devastate the consequence of a severely damage liver kenilworth 2002 hepatitis c is currently estimate to infect 4 million americans that do not include the rest of the world and is the lead cause of liver transplant in the united states also it is believe by expert that only one fourth of hepatitis c case in the you s have been diagnose kenilworth 2002 out of all of the infected patient in the united states it is approximate that only 15 have been treat the total number of patient treat in the united states is decrease each year also cecil hepatitis doctor 2004 hepatitis c also consist of a number of genotype 1a 1b 2a 2b 3 and 4 the high the genotype 1a being the high and 4 being the low the more resistant it is to treatment remak 10 16 04 patient do not have the same response to the hepatitis c virus how a patient become infect with hepatitis may affect how their body respond patient that become infected with hepatitis through blood transfusion are more likely to get cirrhosis than those infect through inject drug patient that are over fifty have a great risk of get cirrhosis than young patient get if a patient have have hepatitis for over twenty year they are more likely to develop cirrhosis when a patient drink alcohol they increase their chance of have cirrhosis cecil hepatitis doctor 2004 hepatitis c affect the male and female body very differently woman are less likely than man to progress from acute hepatitis to chronic hepatitis are therefore women rate of spontaneous viral clearance is high than that of man woman also tend to progress to cirrhosis less often than man do study show that woman with hepatitis c have a five percent probability of progress to cirrhosis while man have a twenty to thirty percent chance of progress to liver cirrhosis man are also four time more likely to develop liver cancer from hepatitis c than woman palmer april june 2004 how is hepatitis c treat there are numerous treatment currently use for hepatitis c medicine currently available include interferon alfa 2a interferon alfa 2b interferon alfacon 1 a combination of interferon alfa 2b and ribavirin interferon alfa and remak 10 16 04 and the two new treatment of pegylate interferon the peg intron treatment and the combination of pegylate interferon and ribavirin know as the pegasys treatment remak 10 22 04 the old treatment are currently use mostly with genotype 3 and 4 hepatitis because they are find to respond well with they than other genotype the old treatment are also less expensive than new treatment so there is more of an incentive for people with genotype 3 and 4 to use the old treatment since they still have a good response to they remak 10 22 04 interferon use in every treatment of hepatitis c is a group of protein and glycoprotein that are produce by cell to prevent the growth of virus taylor 1985 however interferon differ from other defense mechanism in the body in that they are only active against virus and they do not do any thing to the virus directly but rather activate the bodys own cell to resist the virus curtis and barne 1994 the most current hepatitis c treatment are both combination therapy consist of pegylated interferon and ribavirin and both have increase sustained response in comparison to old treatment the first is peg intron plus ribavirin which have a sustained response of 42 in genotype 1 and an 82 sustained response in genotype 2 and 3 the second treatment pegasys plus ribavirin have a sustained response of 46 51 in genotype 1 and a 76 78 in genotype 2 and 3 franciscus oct dec 2003 alpha interferon is make in the body naturally to respond to virus this is one of the old form of treatment for hepatitis c the new pegylate interferon is a chemically modify alpha interferon to pegylate interferon a molecule of polyethylene glycol is add pegylate interferon change the uptake distribution excretion and it prolong its half life pegylate interferon can be take just once a week and remain at a constant level in the blood while standard interferon have fluctuate level even when take multiple time in a week new pegylate interferon also have a high sustained response with roughly the same side effect as standard interferon nddic chronic hepatitis c current disease management out of the two type of pegylate interferon pegasys is much more tolerable than pegintron but it is not any strong cecil hepatitis doctor 2004 a study in spain have show that slow responder to the pegasys treatment with a dose of 180 mcg per week and 800 mg of ribavirin every day do well with a long treatment period the standard length of treatment is forty eight week but these patient do well with a seventy two week long treatment cecil hepatitis doctor 2004 currently about half of patient respond to treatment many patient that do respond to treatment will relapse when treatment is stop patient that have severe cirrhosis or fibrosis are more likely to relapse than other patient are however few relapse occur with long treatment standard treatment is forty eight week long but for patient with cirrhosis or fibrosis a long treatment is recommend to increase their chance at a sustained response also ribavirin help prevent relapse so combination therapy is recommend as well cecil april june 2004 a japanese herbal formula call sho saiko to is being research for the treatment of patient with cirrhosis in chinese and japanese culture sho saiko to have been use for a number of year as a prescription medicine for chronic liver disease it is distribute throughout japan hepatitis april june 2004 in january a treatment was approve for child before january there have not been a hepatitis treatment for child infect through inject drug patient that are over fifty have a great risk of get cirrhosis than young patient if a patient have have hepatitis for over twenty year they are more likely to procure cirrhosis when a patient drink alcohol they increase their chance of acquire cirrhosis cecil hepatitis doctor 2004 hepatitis c affect the male and female body very differently woman are less likely than man to progress from acute hepatitis to chronic hepatitis therefore women rate of spontaneous viral clearance is high than that of man woman also tend to progress to cirrhosis less often than man do study show that woman with hepatitis c have a five percent probability of progress to cirrhosis while man have a twenty to thirty percent chance of progress to liver cirrhosis man are also four time more likely to develop liver cancer from hepatitis c than woman palmer april june 2004 when should you get treat there are two enzyme that are produce in a person liver that a doctor will need to monitor the level of if they have hepatitis c if these enzyme reach a certain level a patient doctor may choose to put they on hepatitis c medication it is generally difficult to make the decision to use interferon because of the expense and the side effect remak 10 16 04 the most common side effect feel like have the flu some people take interferon have fever body ache headache fatigue irritability nausea vomit loss of sleep sleep disturbance or change in their blood remak 10 16 04 side effect from interferon or pegylate interferon that occur in over ten percent of patient include fatigue muscle ache headache nausea and vomit irritation of the skin at the sight of injection low grade fever weight loss irritability depression mild bone marrow suppression and hair loss nddic chronic hepatitis c current disease management severe side effect are see in less than 2 of patient severe side effect include thyroid disease depression with suicidal thought seizure acute heart or kidney failure lung and eye problem loss of hearing and blood infection national center for infectious disease cdc common side effect of ribavirin include anemia fatigue and irritability itching skin rash and nasal stuffiness sinusitis and cough nddic chronic hepatitis c current disease management all of these side effect should be take into consideration before choose to be treat however side effect will not occur with every patient since man and woman are affect by hepatitis c differently they are also affect differently by hepatitis c treatment on the positive side woman respond well to therapy with pegylate interferon and ribavirin cause they to become cure a great percentage of the time than man do however woman tend to experience side effect more often than man do woman experience fatigue headache depression anxiety irritability and insomnia more frequently there are also many cosmetic side effect that are not necessarily more common in woman but woman are more commonly concerned with they one side effect that woman are concern with is hair loss most woman believe that all of their hair will fall out when they undergo treatment but this is a myth hair loss is normally minimal and rarely noticeable to other other side effect that concern woman are brittle nail constant splitting crack or break as well as constant nail bite often a sign of interferon induce anxiety skin problem rashe itching and dry skin dental problem increase chance of tooth decay and cavity due to decrease production of saliva and eye problem dry itchy or blood shoot eye burn eye impair vision blur or poor night vision and blind spot palmer april june 2004 the majority of people with chronic hepatitis c virus may never need to seek out treatment because serious disease progression do not occur viral eradication improvement in quality of life and reduction in the speed of disease progression are all current goal of hcv treatment decision to undergo treatment should first be discuss with a doctor health status exist disease progression probability of response to medication and the quality of life should all be consider when attempt to make this decision since there are many side effect with current medication it is favorable for patient with minimal disease progression to wait for well treatment with few side effect to become available this is because immediate treatment is not imperative however someone with serious disease progression or a decrease in their quality of life should seek out treatment the one exception is the patient with genotype 2 or 3 hepatitis c since they have such a high response rate to treatment they might as well be treat franciscus oct dec 2003 patient that are treat successfully can be cure of the viral infection to be a cured patient mean to have a viral load of zero for the rest of the patient life a patient that is cure have a well prognosis over patient that have not been treat or that were not successfully treat the liver mortality rate for these patient is reduce and the appearance of the liver biopsy is improve liver testis and other blood test improve as well cecil hepatitis doctor 2004 for many patient that do become undetectable for the hepatitis c virus while on treatment the virus is go permanently approximately 15 of people infect with hepatitis c are able to clear the virus from their body without have to take medication patient like these have positive anti hcv a positive hcv riba and a constantly negative hcv rna while some patient can clear the virus on their own other patient do require treatment to be cure roughly 10 20 of patient are able to be free of the virus with a single year of interferon treatment and their hcv rna will remain negative six to twelve month after the conclusion of treatment those that are cure from this treatment have been prove to remain cure for at least thirteen year about 40 of patient are able to clear their body of the virus with a forty eight week treatment of the interferon and ribavirin combination therapy and their hcv rna is negative six month after finish treatment these patient are not expect to a return of hepatitis c cecil hepatitis doctor 2004 conclusion the hepatitis c virus account for approximately 15 of acute viral hepatitis in the you s 60 70 of chronic hepatitis and as much as 50 of cirrhosis end stage liver disease and liver cancer it also cause an estimate 10 000 12 000 death each year in the you s nddic chronic hepatitis c current disease management people are currently try to spread awareness of hepatitis c and that is important but those that are already infect do still have a chance there is the option of treatment for those diagnose with hepatitis c and they need to be inform of this option and all that it may entail yes there are side effect and no the treatment will not be easy but it is still an opportunity to live when a patient may not have any chance on their own while there are thing to consider when decide whether or not to undergo treatment for hepatitis c such as side effect or the probability of it being successful it do go much far beyond that I remember a phone conversation between my father and I one day we were discuss his health he generally do not feel too well which is understandable but he have been feel bad than usual at that time we were discuss the side effect of his medication and how horrible he was feel and he say to I that it do not matter because he would take they anyway so that he could be around for my high school graduation that is a powerful statement to make and it have an impact on I he was willing to go through everything that he go through for I it was important for he to be around for important thing such as my graduation and he would do anything for that opportunity it is one thing to have a person close to you have a deadly disease or illness it is entirely different to be a person with a deadly disease or illness those not experience the disease or illness directly will never entirely understand what the other is go through they have to be able to make important decision on their own because they experience thing that other people can not understand regardless of who a person is it simply come down to this know the fact having look at the statistic and get professional advice is helpful and it is important to consider but in the end a patient have to go with what matter the most to they so when is it worth it to undergo treatment for hepatitis c when you still are motivate to fight your disease and survive at any cost and the option to get treatment is still available remak

an article which might be of interest achieve iron balance with diet if a person is iron deficient he or she will want to incorporate substance or food that increase or improve iron absorption and avoid food or substance that impair absorption if a person have abnormally high body iron level he or she will want to consume food or substance that lower the amount of iron absorb people with complicated iron balance issue associate with sickle cell disease thalassemia blood disease and cancer will need to work out an individual diet plan start with the diet for iron balance substance that increase iron absorption ascorbic acid or vitamin c occur naturally in vegetable and fruit especially citrus ascorbic acid can also be synthesize for use in supplement ascorbic acid enhance the absorption of nutrient such as iron in study about effect of ascorbic acid on iron absorption 100 milligram of ascorbic acid increase iron absorption from a specific meal by 4 14 time alcohol although alcohol can enhance the absorption of iron no one is encourage to drink alcohol as a means of improve iron status moderate consumption of alcohol have know health benefit but heavy or abusive drinking especially when in combination with high body iron level increase the risk for liver damage liver cancer and blood cell production approximately 20 30 of those who are heavy consumer of alcohol acquire up to twice the amount of dietary iron as do moderate or light drinker but alcohol abuse increase the risk of liver disease such as cirrhosis a standard drink is define as 13 5 gram of alcohol or 12 oz beer 5 oz wine 1 5 oz distil spirit moderate consumption is define as two drink per day for an adult male one drink per day for female or those old than 65 regardless of gender beta carotene is one of more than 100 carotenoid that occur naturally in plant and animal carotenoid are yellow to red pigment that are contain in food such as apricot beet and beet green carrot collard green corn red grape orange peach prune red pepper spinach sweet potato tomatoes turnip green and yellow squash beta carotene enable the body to produce vitamin a in study of the effect of vitamin a and beta carotene on absorption of iron vitamin a do not significantly increase iron absorption under the experimental condition employ however beta carotene significantly increase absorption of the metal moreover in the presence of phytate or tannic acid beta carotene generally overcome the inhibitory effect of both compound depend on their concentration like vitamin e beta carotene is an excellent anti oxidant but one should take any of these judiciously study have show that take vitamin a habitually in amount of 25 000 iu can caus e liver problem and that take supplemental beta carotene can enhance the progression of some cancer the good source of these nutrient is whole food additive iron edta fe and ferrochel are additive iron compound and are emerge as candidate for fortification by major food manufacturer both additive were find to exceed absorption capability of the commonly use fortificant ferrous sulfate hydrochloric acid hydrochloric acid hci present in the stomach free nutrient from food so that they can be absorb meat especially red meat increase the absorption of nonheme iron beef lamb and venison contain the high amount of heme as compare to pork or chicken which contain low amount of heme it have been calculate that one gram of meat about 20 percent protein have an enhance effect on nonheme iron absorption equivalent to that of 1 milligram of ascorbic acid a latin american type meal maize rice and black bean with a low iron bioavailability have the same improved bioavailability when either 75 g meat or 50 mg of ascorbic acid was add sugar as part of the framingham heart study a national institutes of health project investigator look at the factor that increase iron store such as diet and iron supplementation participant include more than six hundred elderly patient those who take supplemental iron along with fruit have high iron store some as much as three time no one is encourage to consume sugar to improve iron absorption too much sugar can lead to other health problem such as obesity and diabete refine white sugar have no nutritional value except calorie however eat fruit or add honey or black strap molasse to food such as cereal can boost iron absorption and add nutrient that are lack in refined sugar nicotine product smoke cessation gum can increase serum ferritin level substance that impair iron absorption medication that reduce the amount of acid in the stomach such as antacid or proton pump inhibitor can lead to hypochlorhydria low stomach acid or achlorhydria which is the complete absence of stomach acid calcium like iron is an essential mineral which mean the body get this nutrient from diet calcium is find in food such as milk yogurt cheese sardine can salmon tofu broccoli almond fig turnip green and rhubarb and is the only know substance to inhibit absorption of both non heme and heme iron where 50 milligram or less of calcium have little if any effect on iron absorption calcium in amount 300 600 milligram inhibit the absorption of heme iron similarly to nonheme iron one cup of skimmed milk contain about 300 milligram of calcium when calcium is recommend by a healthcare provider as is often the case for woman try to prevent bone loss these supplement can be take at bedtime calcium supplement are well take with vitamin d and in a citrate rather than carbonate form egg contain a compound that impair absorption of iron phosphoprotein call phosvitin is a protein with a iron bind capacity that may be responsible for the low bioavailability of iron from egg this iron inhibit characteristic of egg is call the egg factor the egg factor have been observe in several separate study one boil egg can reduce absorption of iron in a meal by as much as 28 oxalate impair the absorption of nonheme iron oxalate are compound derive from oxalic acid and find in food such as spinach kale beet nuts chocolate tea wheat bran rhubarb strawberry and herb such as oregano basil and parsley the presence of oxalate in spinach explain why the iron in spinach is not absorb in fact it is report that the iron from spinach that do get absorb is probably from the minute particle of sand or dirt cling to the plant rather than the iron contain in the plant polyphenol are major inhibitor of iron absorption polyphenol or phenolic compound include chlorogenic acid find in cocoa coffee and some herb phenolic acid find in apple peppermint and some herbal tea and tannin find in black tea coffee cocoa spice walnut fruit such as apple blackberry raspberry and blueberry all have the ability to inhibit iron absorption of the polyphenol swedish cocoa and certain tea demonstrate the most powerful iron absorption inhibit capability in some case up to 90 coffee is high in tannin and chlorogenic acid one cup of certain type of coffee can inhibit iron absorption by as much as 60 these food or substance should not be consume within two hour prior to and follow your main iron rich meal phytate is a compound contain in soy protein and fiber even low level of phytate about 5 percent of the amount in cereal whole flour have a strong inhibitory effect on iron bioavailability phytate is find in walnuts almond sesame dry bean lentil and pea and cereal and whole grain phytate compound can reduce iron absorption by 50 to 65 percent diet for iron balance when iron is appropriately distribute throughout the body in hemoglobin muscles ferritin and elsewhere your diet should be gear toward continue iron balance and disease prevention fresh fruit vegetable whole grain adequate protein limit dairy limited fat and sugar form the basis for a good eating plan that will assure adequate iron and low the risk of disease healthy diet checklist will include fresh fruit and vegetable which provide natural hydration and a supply of antioxidant whole grain which provide fiber need to keep the digestive tract clean adequate protein which build muscle limited dairy which can cause mucous in the intestine limited animal fat which can trigger free radical damage eat healthy fat find in olive oil cold water salmon avocado and nuts limit process sugar which contain empty calorie and trigger free radical damage whenever possible consume whole food as oppose to food in a pill our body are not gear to large dose that tax the liver and knock other nutrient out of balance get at least 20 minute of physical activity a day walk or take at least 10 000 step if you can note individual with hereditary hemochromatosis should not consume raw shellfish,neutral,1

this forum have been really great just know that you re not alone I appreciate everyone comment I am 45 and was until recently a very healthy fit man who work out everyday and do yoga every day as well out of nowhere I was find to have kidney cancer after see a specialist about problem urinating and erectile dysfunction which that is have since the young age of 32 my per annum level were not high biopsy come back negative yet my problem persist to the point that I have to have evasive t you r p surgery which is usually do on man in their 60 70 since then I have been find to have a hiatus hernia all this in 24 month with no reasonable explanation as to why I have tell each doctor involve that I feel in my heart that each one of the above have been intertwine not know the cause none have agree or disagree now I find out that I have hemochromatosis and can not help but to feel that all of the above is link to this even though there is no medical proof if high iron can cause cancer in the liver I am positive it can cause cancer elsewhere what they know about this disease today like many other is drastically different than what they know 10 year ago so when there are illness that I suffer from that are not link to hemochromatosis today I am go to step on the ledge to say that perhaps they may tomorrow that is suffer from fatigue since I was in my 20 I have fight like most with my weight since then too when that is always been active and eat properly but just think it was gene I have have depression in one form or another since then as well and my bone and muscle have always been an issue however I think it was always because I push myself and was as active as I was now I know differently so thank god that I find out about this for my three young kid and I hopefully in time I will be able to get my life back to how I think it should be and thank you for all your advice and support I hope that what that is share may help somebody read this that may have suffer like I p s the funny thing is my father is 70 yrs old and have not have any health relate issue to speak of he is never really exercise and his diet have never been the good yet he was find to have hemochromatosis by a complete accident his doctor check off iron level on his biannual check up by mistake other than being over weight due to his life style my dad totally healthy and happy how ironic he s always been a lucky boy and the moral of the story is that those who have level that are high his are 1700 do not necessary have to have major problem and other like I 350 can have nothing but issue after issue,negative,0

sandra malin helena nilsson on second thought I will paste the article here if it is take down how glutathione cure fibromyalgia and how to supplement for it jun 18th 2008 by kalidasa listen to this article power by odiogo com fibromyalgia is a painful condition in which pain is experience in various part of the body and the location of the pain often change from day to day it is cause by fibroid that form in the body they become lodge in the tissue cause pain the fibroid are very similar to the one that sometimes form in women breast they often clear up when she quit drinking coffee this is important as you ll see in a minute why fibroid form the reason the fibroid form is because of incomplete breakdown of estrogen in the liver this part get into a little heady with some biochemistry its not too complicated but a simplified version follow the liver detoxifie estrogen in three step in the first step a chemical group is add to the estrogen molecule that actually make a very dangerous oxidative estrogen that can cause cancer this is an oxidant one of the thing people take antioxidant for normally this is not a problem or at least it was not when we eat a more wholesome diet that come from soil that was rich in nutrient now day cancer that are drive by estrogen are some of the most virulent when there are enough nutrient the liver then add another chemical group in its process to make the estrogen water soluble so it can be easily remove from the body this chemical group is call a methyl group when it combine with the previous estrogen the one that can cause cancer it form what is call a methylate estrogen it is these methylate estrogen that cause fibroid to form they also cause a form of prostate cancer in man that is usually benign b 12 as methylcobalamin have the methyl group that is need for estrogen to go on to the next phase of detoxification when people are really stuck in this phase I find that dmg dimethyl glycine work well but take b 12 can help many thing and it is one of the supplement that people really need on a regular basis anyway the third step that the liver take actually involve seven different possibility the most important one involve glutathione the short version estrogen break down in the liver in three step if the process stall in either of the first two step problem can happen in the first step the estrogen become a dangerous chemical that can cause cancer in the second step the estrogen become a chemical that cause the formation of the fibroid that cause fibromyalgia the third step where estrogen combine with glutathione is where fibromyalgia is cure supplement for this step and fibroid never form glutathione glutathione is the master antioxidant it is use more than any other antioxidant in the body boost glutathione help in many condition antiage detoxification weight loss smoke cancer prevention heart disease hiv are all condition that can use glutathione for support glutathione can not be take directly as a supplement it do not survive the intestinal tract the only way to boost glutathione is to take the nutrient that make it up okay this get just a little heady again simplify version follow first of all it need enzyme the only place these enzyme can be find are in food of the broccoli family this include kale cabbage brussels sprouts cauliflower radish and of course broccoli one or more of these have to be eat twice a week about half a cup each time to get the enzyme need for the liver to do its job and it need to be eat raw as heat destroy enzyme for convenience you can get the same enzyme from a tea call brassica tea you can find out about it by go to http brassicatea com there is a distribution link on their site the first nutrient that is most commonly need is selenium it is one of the most common deficiency that we have today even livestock are supplement with selenium there simply is not any left in the soil the usual dosage is 200 400 mcg per day 600 mcg per day is the maximum that anyone would need to take 600 mcg is actually a fairly large dose and at that dosage selenium become toxic selenium cysteine is the only non toxic form of selenium that there is the only company that make it is metabolics the second most common nutrient need to make up glutathione is enzyme activate b6 the technical name for it is pyradoxal 5 phosphate or p5p the usual dosage to start with is 100 mg twice a day after six week this can be drop to a maintenance dose of 50 mg twice a day both selenium and p5p are usually need by everyone the other nutrient that are need to form glutathione list in roughly the most common deficiency first order are zinc cysteine glutamate and glycine and sometimes the herb watercress is need increase glutathione simplify 1 either eat raw broccoli family vegetable twice a week or go to http brassicatea com and follow link to order some brassica tea any flavor and drink one cup twice a week 2 take 200 mcg of selenium cysteine by metabolic twice a day 3 take 100 mg of enzyme activate b6 p5p twice a day for six week then take 50 mg twice a day 4 determine if you are deficient in zinc and supplement as need there is a zinc test that is a liquid zinc that you hold in your mouth for a minute and then swallow if you do not taste anything or you do not taste much you re probably deficient in zinc you may also need glutamate cysteine and or glycine and sometimes the herb watercress conclusion at the beginning of the article I mention coffee is a cause for fibroid and I say how cut back on this would often reduce the amount of fibroid is that a woman might have and her breast tissue the reason this is important is because the liver also break down compound in coffee and when it is over tasked with this job then the estrogen get back up and do not all get clear and you can get deficient in glutathione the same thing happen when there s a lot of stress the stress hormone also go through the same three phase of detoxification in the liver people with fibromyalgia often notice the symptom worsen when there is more stress in their life this is also important for smoker they tend

publish november 2 2007 an experimental drug from vertex pharmaceutical helped cure more than 60 percent of patient with a tough to treat form of hepatitis c accord to datum to be present at a medical meeting that start today skip to next paragraph relate time health guide hepatitis c the result eagerly await by wall street as well as by doctor represent the high cure rate yet report for the condition and the treatment was accomplish in half the usual time but vertex might have to share a bit of the limelight with romark laboratory a tiny privately hold company that already sell a drug call alinia that is use to treat diarrhea cause by certain parasite but that suddenly is emerge as a potential treatment for hepatitis c in a presentation that have escape the attention of wall street though it is to be make at the same meeting researcher are to report that alinia help cure as many as 79 percent of hepatitis c patient although they have a form of the virus that might be slightly easy to treat than the type vertex take on there will be skepticism because this have come out of right field say dr emmet b keeffe chief of hepatology at stanford who is a consultant to romark but dr keeffe say that he have overcome his own initial skepticism and that the result were pretty exciting both development expert say will need to be follow up by large trial but the progress could be important for patient at least three million americans are think to be infect with the hepatitis c virus and the number of case of liver cirrhosis and liver cancer cause by the virus is rise the exist treatment a combination of two drug alpha interferon and ribavirin can cause debilitate side effect like flulike symptom anemia and depression the treatment for type 1 hepatitis c the hard to treat form that account for 70 percent of the case in the united states take nearly a year so the hunt for new drug have been intense and vertex a publicly trade company base in cambridge mass is widely acknowledge as the front runner its pill call telaprevir or vx 950 interfere with a viral enzyme this is how most aid drug work but it is a new approach for hepatitis c while vertex have previously show that telaprevir can sharply reduce virus level in patient blood the new datum to be present at the meeting an annual gathering of the american association for the study of liver disease in boston is the first strong signal of how many patient could be cure in a midstage trial in the united states of 250 previously untreated patient 61 percent of the people who receive telaprevir in addition to the two standard drug have no detectable virus in their blood 24 week after the end of the treatment a vertex executive say doctor consider that an effective cure in a european trial of 323 patient about 65 percent of those who get the three drug combination have no detectable virus 12 week after the end of treatment both rate are high than the 40 to 50 percent cure rate now typical for type 1 hepatitis c use the standard drug alone perhaps as significant doctor say the treatment take 24 week instead of the usual 48 that mean patient would have to endure the side effect of interferon and ribavirin for a short time these are exciting finding say dr ira m jacobson of weill cornell medical college who will present the result of the american trial at the meeting and is a consultant to vertex but the number are pretty much what wall street expect and many more people get the three drug stop treatment because of side effect than those get the standard therapy the trial cure rate for the standard therapy are not yet available the romark datum come from a study in egypt of only 96 previously untreated patient alinia also know as nitazoxanide have previously been test there as a treatment for parasite of the patient who receive alinia along with the two standard drug 79 percent have no detectable virus 12 week after the end of treatment that compare with 43 percent in the control group receive the standard treatment while the total treatment last the usual 48 week the patient receive the two standard drug for only 36 week the patient have type 4 hepatitis c which is rare in the united states some expert say type 4 was slightly easy to treat than type 1 romark which is base in tampa fla and have about 20 million in annual revenue have begin a trial in the united states the drug effectiveness against hepatitis c was discover almost by accident when test as a treatment for parasite the drug show sign it was counter liver infection dr keeffe who is research how the romark drug work say that because alinia is already on the market and appear to have few side effect some doctor might prescribe it off label to treat hepatitis c it cost about 30 a day for the two pill need it is legal for doctor to prescribe medicine for use other than those the food and drug administration have approve but a drug maker can not promote its medicine for those off label use before formal approval were all look for well therapy for our patient and this look like a very benign thing to do dr keeffe say but dr jacobson of cornell say that would be very premature,neutral,1

I have bring up the subject of catabolic waste before but never really get anywhere with find out what I could do about it as I understand it catabolic wasting occur due to a low level of albumin which in normal people is produce by the liver catabolic waste or cachexia is a clinical wasting syndrome that is characterize by unintended and progressive weight loss weakness and low body fat and muscle at least 5 of body weight is lose cachexia is not cause by poor appetite and nutritional intake but rather by a metabolic state in which a breaking down rather than a building up occur in bodily tissue no matter how much nutritional intake occur additionally whether a patient receive nutrition orally or intravenously make no difference the patient simply can not gain weight so eat more is not an answer catabolic wasting is a symptom that diminish the quality of life worsen the underlying condition and is a major cause of death particularly with those suffer from cancer renal failure liver failure and aid unfortunately the cachectic state is all too apparent to any observer in severe chronic disease with the development of multiple organ failure some degree of malabsorption of nutrient probably contribute to the cachectic state the entire picture is reflect in a continue decline of the serum albumin as the illness progress the only cure I can find for this is transplant though some journal make reference to increase the level of vitamin e as a way of counter the lack of albumin currently I am lose 5lbs of body mass every month today I was down to 125lbs from 155 in december if the wasting continue I will be down to about 100lbs by christmas by which time I reckon other organ will also start fail probably the kidney first I do not forsee much of a future beyond the end of this year unless I can get it fix the question once more is do any one else suffer from this and also is there any way of at least stop its progress if not cure it _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ my gis response was to eat more protein but I reckon the protein that gets feed in the top come out the other end with no nutritional value extract from it I am see the transplant team next week but am get really desperate to get some answer before I see they any help advise would be so much appreciate craig aka worry from hotlanta,neutral,1

dear all I am write to request for your prayer and support in any way that you know how as I learn yesterday that I have to have emergency surgery next week tuesday 17th november to insert a peg feeding tube which will most likely stay in for the rest of my life while they do that they will perform a liver biopsy and bone marrow biopsy to rule out cancer as I am now dangerously thin despite make eat a full time job this will be my 5th surgery to the abdoman and I am petrify the thought of a peg feeding tube for the rest of my life is also very very disheartening and my spirit is completely break they in a nutshell confirm that I am a rare case of the less glamorous side of gastric bypass surgery where my body have completely stop absorb all of the necessary nutrient I have also been have weekly iron infusion and b12 injection but these have not help with my anemia and healing of the liver plus I continue to lose weight at a dangerous rate any more weight loss will kill I I am 21 2 year post original op have have 3 revision and other severe complication I do not want to say that I wish I have not do the gastric bypass surgery because it is not true as the original surgery if it work is a life saver what I do regret and what cause severe discouragement is that I just happen to fall into that dreaded percentage of patient who choose this life save surgery but the risk and complication that you read hear about have all happen to I and it hurt it hurt more than I can articulate my advice to anyone that is embark on this journey is to go with your gut if it do not feel right speak up and say something also I would advice that you choose a great surgeon team who can offer lifetime support keep up with your protein and vitamin intake and stay away from alcohol love and light to all,negative,0

hope against hepatitis c a new centre for treat hepatitis c is offer new hope to patient but way of combat the threat effectively have still to be find write ahmed abu ghazala find a person infect by the hepatitis c virus hcv is not difficult simply ask a friend or a colleague or even the doorman and they will eventually tell you they have either hear about someone who is infect by the disease or that they know of someone whether a relative or a friend accord to minister of health hatem el gabali demographic study have show that some 9 8 per cent of the egyptian population is infect with the hepatitis c virus and the number of infect citizen may have reach nine million mohamed hamdi a successful journalist in his 40 is one of the million infect by the disease hamdi remember how in 1995 he have an endoscopy while it was suppose to be a simple surgery I come out with other complication he say after surgery he suffer from abdominal pain diarrhea and other symptom concern by these he hurry to the doctor and have test which turn out to be negative for any specific disease however many year later in 2007 hamdi was diagnose with high blood pressure and he have test which show unusually high liver enzyme after further checkup to his dismay hamdi discover that he was infect with hcv almost a quarter of the egyptian population is infect by different hepatic disease include schistosomiasis cirrhosis hepatitis a b or c or liver cancer we should be treat hepatic disease as a national threat say hassan el shenawi professor of hepatology at the national liver institute at menofiya university at a recent training session on hcv at the al qasr al aini medical school of cairo university the number of egyptians infect by hcv and other hepatic disease now exceed the population of many other country in the world moreover many infected people do not know that they have been infect however hope may now be on its way in order to deal with the threat of such disease the al qasr al aini medical school have establish a new centre for treat hepatic patient it is anticipate that the number of hcv patient will increase during the 2012 to 2020 period and that is why it was important to think practically of how to face the spread of the disease say gamal esmat professor of hepatology and tropical medicine at the al qasr al aini medical school president of the international association for the study of the liver iasl and director of the new centre the first goal of the new centre the al qasr al aini centre for hepatic disease is to open its door to all patient who need its service the centre can treat 180 patient daily we have 25 doctor apart from those conduct laboratory test esmat say add that the centre have agree special price with drug company to ensure that drug are available at reduce price the centre provide patient and their family with vaccination and prophylactic procedure it do not only serve patient and aim instead to become a training centre for doctor in deal with different kind of hepatic disease become a centre for research into the development of new treatment for hepatitis b and c statement make at the opening of the new centre were optimistic about its potential we lack inform scientific research to back up our work so the opening of this centre make I feel more confident say abdel hamid abaza head of the political bureau at the ministry of health we are offer all kind of help as a public institution responsible for public health in egypt and we will support all the effort of the al qasr al aini medical school abaza say dean of the al qasr al aini medical school ahmed farid say that the school is work in collaboration with other egyptian and international centre and that the establishment of the centre the first in egypt specialise in hepatology was part of the school large public health effort accord to hani hilal minister of high education and scientific research it is also time for the private sector and ngo to participate in finance similar project in order to help find solution to such endemic disease hossam kamel president of cairo university say hcv have been at the top of the universitys research agenda for the 2006 to 2011 period and that the centre would bolster effort to combat the disease yet despite these hopeful development hcv present other predicament accord to esmat some 70 per cent of hcv infection come from medical source through the use of infect instrument during various hospital procedure it is a huge problem that when a patient enter a hospital to treat a certain disease he or she then come out with a more dangerous one esmat say the other 30 per cent of infection are think to come from instrument use by multiple user such as shaving razor or toothbrushe the problem is that infection is take place randomly hamdi say in an interview with al ahram weekly hcv is spread among poor people in egypt who use each other personal item and are treat in public hospital such people often do not know that they have been infect they do not have medical insurance and can not afford treatment esmat say that the only way to prevent risk of hcv infection was to use medical instrument once and then dispose of they normal high temperature cleaning procedure were not sufficient to eradicate all risk of pass on the disease however use instrument only once was too expensive for the public hospital and that is why the public hospital are not safe enough if they use instrument only once they would have to reduce the service they offer he say a way should be find of provide instrument to public hospital at cheap price he say in order to avoid infection by hcv people should avoid tattoo or use the same needle and if possible they should only use their own medical instrument the problem occur when a young person use a friend equipment thinking that he look healthy enough and without realise that hcv do not have clear symptom and anyone can be infect without know it while knowledge of one serological status especially in the early stage of the disease can massively improve prognosis many people only find out about their infection after many year of lead normal life hamdi for example explain that I have many checkup prior to the last one but no one tell I I was infect with hcv although I must have been infect since the original surgery treatment for hcv consist of interferon and ribavirin therapy interferon as an injection take once a week and ribavirin as tablet take three time a day the therapy is very expensive and have many side effect but it is the only one at present that is internationally recognise side effect of treatment for hcv vary from one patient to the next being sometimes mild but sometimes more severe and include depression cough loss of weight dizziness ache joint abdominal and back pain nausea vomit diarrhea skin problem mild hair loss reduce white and red blood cell count anorexia congestion and elevated liver enzyme the price of one shot of interferon is le1 390 with the therapy as a whole cost some le6 000 a month fortunately for many patient the ministry of health is able to provide interferon shot at le480 but this is still not cheap for the average citizen it is a huge problem if you can not afford therapy and you do not have medical insurance you will remain infected and without treatment until you die hamdi say successful treatment take place in between 50 and 60 per cent of case for hamdi the treatment consist of his take interferon shot weekly and ribavirin tablet for one year but he decide to stop treatment after six month feel that it was not effective successful treatment take place in only 40 per cent of case hamdi explain I may try something else if a new treatment come along research have show that new treatment may become available that will raise success rate to 80 per cent he say in case where a patient is not undergo therapy treatment consist of take anti oxidant vitamin and liver enhance supplement which cost le300 500 a month an egyptian manufacture interferon shot is also on the market manufacture in collaboration with a german company and this is available from the ministry of health at le220 accord to esmat the egyptian medication achieve similar result to the american swiss one which is the internationally recognise treatment many egyptians prefer to use the egyptian product because it is much cheap esmat tell the weekly that the egyptian product was undergo improvement in order to increase its effectiveness and decrease side effect the reason the egyptian medication was not internationally recognise was because the american swiss product hold the international patent right when this patent end our medication will also be recognise he say as a person live with hcv and also a journalist hamdi is in a good position to promote awareness about the disease sometimes he write out of anger at people sell false hope to patient with hcv by promote herbal medication or other non recognise form of treatment these treatment are not base on scientific research one person try something on two or three patient and then claim to have discover a new therapy I try to raise people awareness of this problem el shenawi is also concern at the promotion of herbal treatment for hcv on satellite television channel these so call treatment are a swindle he say there are no therapy for hcv apart from those base on scientific research if people listen to the fraudulent claim make for herbal treatment this could lead to further complication later for his part esmat prefer to leave the matter to people to decide if I have really find a perfect therapy for hcv as they claim on tv I would be award the nobel prize in medicine and journalist would be run after I I would not have to pay a tv station to promote my therapy he say however he also lament the fact that the disease is not treat as a serious problem in the medium the most important topic in egypt as far as the media is concern is swine flu which barely kill more than 100 people while many more people are die every year from complication from hcv much more is spend every year on interferon therapy and liver surgery than is ever spend on swine flu it is this lack of public awareness that is the main reason behind the spread of hcv in egypt the peak of the viruss spread was in the 1960 and 1970 when needle use to treat schistosomiasis patient were use for several patient at a time for esmat television would be the good way of raise public awareness though hamdi caution that the authority also have a role to play a main problem is the lack of information if the ministry of health send awareness convoy to all egypt governorate it could conduct test that would also provide we with information about the extent of the disease in the country and effectively raise people awareness before the opening of the new al qasr al aini centre a training session was conduct for journalist about hcv those present were ask question about the disease and almost 20 per cent of the answer were incorrect many egyptians do not know anything about the disease what is hcv no I do not know anything about it say ali ragheb 46 a janitor at a building in nasr city when ragheb was tell that hcv was a disease that could infect the liver he comment that many people suffer from liver infection in my hometown of minya I know a woman who is suffer from something similar and is being treat at the expense of the state although ragheb do not know anything about hcv he say that he ask the barber to change his razor before shave his beard and he is aware that he must use clean needle if inject I know that these are important requirement and that many disease come from infected blood he say for nehmedo orabi 39 a maid the difference between hepatitis a b or c is slim since for she they are only letter of the alphabet hcv is a disease that infect the liver I think it infect those who eat unhygienic food or drink she say although the disease orabi is refer to is hepatitis a she also say that her brother have been infect by hcv though this turn out to be hepatitis a not hepatitis c like many poor people in egypt orabis attitude was that everything is in god hand for hamdi el say head of the doctor syndicate and head of the medical committee of the people assembly the medium is not make sufficient effort to combat the disease though the ministry of health is run campaign in school and university to raise student awareness of hcv and inoculate they against hepatitis b el say add that the government have spend le250 million in 2009 to help treat hcv patient and that 15 further centre have been establish in various governorate to treat hcv along with the formation of a national association to collect donation to fund liver surgery and other form of treatment the government was try to decrease infection in public hospital though this should be accompany by great awareness of hygiene among the public as a whole the public should be aware of such issue when go to the barber or the dentist el say say the government can not inspect everyone however if people are aware of the disease they will force practitioner to sterilise their tool yet even though egypt have make many achievement in fight hcv and hepatic disease in general the danger these disease present is escalate accord to el shenawi we can only deal with hcv through a powerful nationwide campaign if thing get bad we will face a very serious situation infection by hcv hcv can be transmit in four main way by blood transfusion or blood product or by organ transplant from an infected person by instrument carry the blood of an infected person include instrument use for piercing and tattoo dental instrument shaving instrument toothbrushe needle or other instrument that may cause wound or blood to blood contact by infection from the mother to her child though this is true of only three to five per cent of total infection by sexual relation though these are rarely the cause of infection with hcv do you know hepatitis c is an infectious disease that was discover in 1989 and is transmit through infected blood it affect patient liver and without adequate treatment can develop to cause cirrhosis or liver cancer if this happen a patient is require to have a liver transplant though the virus may recur even after transplantation hcv have six genotype and 52 subtype the fourth genotype is the one infect 90 95 per cent of egyptian patient unlike for hepatitis b there is no vaccine against hepatitis c early discovery of hcv infection considerably improve prognosis with successful treatment being possible in up to 98 per cent of case this rate fall the later the infection is discover c a p t I o and old habit of shaving are one of the cause of hcv infection for the less affluent photo ahmed shehata copyright al ahram weekly all right reserve al ahram

hi there I am look for comment or response to the awareness or knowledge of the relationship between elevated iron iron overload also know as hereditary hemochromatosis and congestive heart failure or how many people have even hear of iron overload or hemochromatosis my husband 57 was recently diagnose with hhc after over 10 year of try to figure out what was wrong numerous drs numerous testing have many symptom that suggest heart problem like shortness of breath chest pain irregular heart beat heart palpitation profuse sweating and grey skin feeling of lack of oxygen heart test and lung function show everything quite normal the testing continue over the course of time 8 week ago our internist who is investigate liver damage and elevated liver enzyme tell we on a follow up that he have been find to have hemochromatosis it is the most common genetic disorder among people of european descent particularly irish scottish it is in fact also know as the celtic curse so my husband is irish how do we get to chf hhc is genetic and we come home from our appointment and look this all up have no prior knowledge of what this was and wow were we surprised iron load onto liver first cause diabetes and cirrhosis then it load equally as much onto the heart cause everything from heart palpitation to irregular heartbeat shortness of breath enlarge heart and lead to congestive heart failure which my husband dad die of several year ago no explanation no one know but have the genetic variation he obviously get this from his parent he carry two copy of the gene involve in iron overload and it cause heart damage and eventual organ failure my husband dad also have colon cancer and have part of colon remove but my husband grandfather also die of colon cancer colon cancer is a high rate among iron overload as are many other cancer cancer thrive in iron rich environment I come across this site daily strength in my search for answer and understanding and have meet many people over the last several week with story just like our on the hemochromatosis forum on this site also who explain and talk about their complication from iron overload with the heart problem the liver and digestive problem the neurological and thyroid damage joint pain and pituitary gland damage no one can imagine the toxic mess this make our body and unfortunately it is a silent killer slowly and quietly do damage until we are diagnose with diabetes or arthritis it load onto joint and cause arthiritis or heart failure chf or hypothyroidism or hypogonadism or infertility or fibromyalgia vision and skin manifestation with rash blister and eye disorder and vision loss like my husband or even miss and alzheimer leave we vulnerable to infection and virus like hepatitis and mono lead to all other type of infection or pancreatitis or gallbladder disease or ib or colitis believe I the list is endless and I can tell you the relationship between why a person have congestive heart failure even at a young age and in seemingly healthy individual is not a leap of faith it is real and it is insidious I would like to hear from people here what they think about all this I know we never know anything of it think it was all quite a part of life get heart problem and the diagnosis but the question is why why do we have these problem in the first place and why are drs miss this so often it is a simple blood test but not routine and yet it can tell we so much and is a tool for prevention of more serious disease later on it destroy the heart and I just want to pass this along to all the folk here in heart failure forum just as a thought for the day something to read something to investigate one never know as iron is remove from the body many of the symptom of heart trouble can disappear and resolve at least prevent further damage I think that is worth the trouble of find out if this is something that could have cause the damage to begin with take care everyone and good wish,neutral,1

I just want to check in and I notice to those of you still here and that there are those who are new I think that each of we have their own individual way of get through these dark day and I have my own perspective that I have already mention in many discussion before that I know in my heart my joy in this life is go as my spirit pass with my husband when he pass away 7 month ago on january 22 2010 I am so sorry for all of your sadness and sorrow and I know it is just so unbearable to get through each day and I also want to let you know about a few thing go on with I a huge issue with my family have been unblock at least on the surface what I am talk about is that two day ago my brother and sister and most of our adult child and their kid actually get together for a family cookout that I attend in which all of those that I mention before in another post have major issue my eld brother who just turn 70 refuse one of my sister the knowledge of his upcoming fatal diagnosis that he only have 9 month to live due to liver cancer a month or so ago after the most horrific tension past fight anger and stress from disagreement which cause he to deny our sister the right to be at his wake and funeral when he die but I notice after we were all get along in one of the picture that were being take on saturday my brother before midday was around her shoulder and it is such a momentous occasion I have to share it I have nothing to do with the problem but I think the help for our family being unite come about from my husband who pass as I say together with one of my other sister son who die last june of 09 and this is nothing short of a miraculous event I pray for their help my husband and my nephew in the afterlife after I receive a message that they are help our family unite never think this would ever happen this have change my view about some thing but it any case I now truly believe that my husband is aware of what go in in this life with I and all of we I do not before because I feel disconnected from he as we were together for 39 year and then there was nothing I still find it hard to talk to he because of the fact I am still deeply depressed and I want he here and now I do not want he to be a memory well the other thing I want to ask of anyone who wish to comment that lately I have been get a lot from different source that we have a choice in how we feel but I do not believe this I think abraham lincoln was wrong when he say we are as happy as we make up our mind to be I do not think he was talk about widow and I am adamant about how I feel that how can I choose to feel joy if my beloved husband is not here physically how can I feel happy is beyond I I know I will never feel happy again but other even widow from my grief meeting which really kind of annoy I sorry to say that they love life and they are live again and they believe I will too one day this really get to I because I know in my heart that my life in this world is over and I just wait for god to let I know his will which I have say hundred of time and I just wait for god to call I home do anyone here have any thought that we can choose how we feel I just do not get it but I will do my good to accept differing opinion I just know how I feel and everyone is entitle to their own opinion well I pray you all have peace and hug to everyone here god bless reneearose,negative,0

I m sorry if anyone think that this post sound angry but maybe in a way I am I m hurt more than I ever think possible my mother in law lose her battle against liver cancer she also have a infection call mrsa that is apparently pick up in hospital and they think will be the next pandemic I ahve to believe it because every floor I go on to with she have sign on the room state the person s was in isolation what make I damn angry though is that many patient are leave unattended by nurse or they take their sweet damn time get to they because the nurse do not want to continually garb up and put on the clothing and so on need for enter a room where the person is in isolation near the end of mom battle I could not even leave the hospital because the nurse were not care for she properly how do I know I call the hospital one night because I was awaken by waht I think was mom call I for help when I call the hospital I could hear she scream for help and the damn nurse tell I she was being noisy look just because people get old do not mean they loose it and start get noisy I wonder at time how many people have have elderly family in the hospital who have ignore as a result of this belief and the patient have suffer but do to their health could not tell we I finally refuse to leave even when they bring in security at night one night they bring in a particularly large set man in was kind of funny actually at the time it was not here was a huge bulk of man come in to remove a small woman barely 5 feettall and he back down only because of my voice and what he see in my eye above the mask he tell the nurse that he do not think the poilce could even get I out and to think of it as extra help I tell they that they should do what they do well sit around the station eat candy and joke about the various elderly patient I speak to administration the following day they agree to allow I to stay and alot of nurse get in very real trouble because I use my cell phone to tape their antic at the station mom room was directly across from it look no one that stay with their family is a hero or deserve recognition or a way to go just please take notice of the condition of teh hospital when your elderly family member are there please mom was not the only one there were many elderly people on the floor with alzheimer cancer and so on and the nurse sit on their fat little fanny imitate they or talk about thi plan holiday and so on instead of care for they I begin stop family member in the hall way and talk to they about it it get to the point I would not even let mom go for a test alone mom was a fantastic person she love everyone she come in contact with even in the end you could see her caring side because she want I to take the feather comforter I have bring she in to the baby in the nursey below I have a very hard time try to convince she that I have take they other one she often say she have give birth too my son but have to child and then when my child come along and my grandchild she was overjoy my eld daughter her husband and the baby live with she so that she always have someone with she as she grow old because she walk with a walker and have a difibrulator in her heart she love have the baby there I feel so bad that the baby could not see she in the end but due to the mrsa infection we could not subject she to it and mom would never have allow it a week before she pass mom have I cut she extremely long hair because she want to give it to lock for love that is just how she was my husband and I were both at her side at the very end as we were with my father in law it somehow seem to rip I apart more this time I feel like I lose my mom my good friend my confident my sister everything we are all feel that way right now my husband and I will be move into the house he grow up in and my kid into the one we live now but it is because we feel close to mom and dad there do this seem funny mom grow up on a family barge in holand and near the end keep tell we taht her deceased husband have build a rand new sail boat and that they were go on a sailing trip together she desvribe the sailboat as have gold trim on the window fram and so on funny though the urn that we find to keep part of her ashe in at home beside her husband are in a sail boat that could almost resemble the one she speak of we have to send away for it and do not think it would be here in time it was a one of a kind the rest of her ash are bury with dad at the cemetery why do I tell you this because of the boat often our love one speak of go someowhere with someone who have pass and describe something special like the sail boat and when we see it in a book at the funeral home we know it was to be the one it was discontinue but as always I refuse to take no as a answer this is something she teach I never take no as a answer she is also the one who use to always tell I when I was battle breast cancer there are no such thing as breast cancer victim there are only survivor the subject title say why do we do this to those we love and it is because I can not understand why we allow our pet to die with dignanty peace and without the horrible agony that I have witness a few time yet we force our human love one to endure long month and sometimes year of agony because we can not let go we call it inhuman to want to see their suffering end maybe we are inhuman but because we allow they to go out like this when they do not deserve it we call our pet animal but maybe when the word animal was choose it should have been give to we and the word human should have been give to they mom want I to write a book about her life in holland during the war and then her life here in the end she look so sad at I the one day and tell I taht her book would never be writen I tell she it was in motion and I start it that day even if its never publish it will be writen along with the one she want I to write about being a breast cancer survivor I m sorry the post is so

this might answer some of your concern as to why a virus do not act like a virus discovery of mechanism that allow hepatitis c virus to remain in the body for decade 19 august 2009 07 39 researcher at the university of leed have discover a previously unknown mechanism that allow the hepatitis c virus hcv to remain in the body for decade a study publish in the proceeding of the national academy of sciences pnas show that the virus block the action of a specific ion channel in the cell membrane that would usually trigger apoptosis the cell self destruct programme and in do so have evolve another way of protect itself from being eliminate from the body apoptosis occur naturally in the body to allow the removal of unhealthy cell or the replacement of worn out cell one of the way in which apoptosis can be trigger in a cell is to reduce its potassium level this can happen when the cell is expose to oxidative stress that activate a specific ion channel which act as a pore in the cell membrane cause it to open and allow out potassium ion however the research team have discover that a protein make by hcv know as ns5a is able to block the activation of this ion channel in liver cell enable these cell to resist cell death for long for a virus to persist in the body over a long time it have to find a way of manipulate the host cell so that it become resistant to apoptosis say lead researcher professor mark harris of the universitys faculty of biological science we know of many way that virus have evolve to do this but this is the first observation of a virus prevent cell death by manipulate an ion channel hcv affect some 170 million people globally and only around half of these will respond to treatment many sufferer will be asymptomatic some for twenty or even thirty year but the virus remain in the liver and its long tem damage can ultimately cause cirrhosis or cancer cell in the liver are often expose to high level of oxidative and other stress as they work to detoxify the blood of foreign compound such as drug and alcohol and to remove chemical produce by our own body say professor harris in addition the virus itself cause oxidative stress as it replicate in the cell the research show that the virus have evolve another way of protect itself from this natural process and to avoid elimination from the body for long the research team believe that continue research may offer a potential target for drug development perhaps through combination therapy we need to find out exactly how the block action work but it is possible that two drug could be couple together one to prevent the virus from block the ion channel and another to induce stress to force apoptosis say professor harris it is a very exciting discovery and ideally we d like to expand our investigation to see whether other virus that cause long term or chronic infection such as hiv have evolve the same ability the research was fund by the medical research council,neutral,1

alcoholism is a disease of the body thinking emotion and spirit progressive damage to these four aspect interact in various way such that a person is increasingly compel to drink also once drink start they can not always guarantee when they will stop or how much they will drink the body a genetic predisposition fifty percent of alcoholic have an inherit genetic makeup that almost guarantee they would become alcoholic when they begin to drink heavily for example the brain chemistry of some child or grandchild of alcoholic actually encourage heavy drinking alcohol metabolism alcohol is metabolize differently by some people as a result the body and brain require more alcohol to have the same effect than normal drinker would need cell alteration all heavy drinker undergo change at the cellular level of the brain where the brain cell meet extra receptor position grow to receive the heavy dose of alcohol relate chemical messenger when not drink these extra receptor position demand to be fill thus create a craving for alcohol brain damage alcohol in any quantity is poisonous to brain cell and kill off cell in their million the most critically affect part of the brain are those that deal with short term memory decision making and rational thinking woman heavy drinker develop brain damage with less drinking than man liver damage the most common liver disease of alcoholic is cirrhosis scar of the liver this disease result in reduce and corrupt chemical being send to the body which can result in damage to other organ woman suffer liver damage with less alcohol consumption than man alcoholic hepatitis ah ah is cause by other liver disease most notably cirrhosis of the liver more than 60 of person who develop both ah and cirrhosis will die within four year ah can cause change in sleep pattern mood and personality psychiatric condition such as anxiety and depression shorten attention span and problem with coordination may occur brain chemical the body and especially the brain rely on the liver to filter important body fluid and excrete waste as a result of contaminated chemistry from a damage liver the brain do not function properly typically a person will have cloudy and slow think heart damage heavy drinking cause damage to the heart muscle the heart pump less blood and an abnormal heart beat may develop woman suffer heart damage with less alcohol consume than man skeletal muscle heavy drinking cause muscle in the arm and leg to shrink for example an alcoholic may have leg that are out of proportion skinny than the rest of their body sufferer may become embarrassed about their body shape cancer the risk of cancer increase with great alcohol consumption more so in woman cancer can develop in the upper airway the liver breast and the bowel sexual organ and sexuality heavy alcohol use shrink the testicle in man and woman the breast grow large man produce more female hormone and woman produce more male hormone man become less virile and woman become less feminine as a result a person sexuality and libido is alter they may sense change in their sexuality and over compensate by become more sexually active indiscriminate or intoxicated sexual activity raise the risk of get sexually transmit disease think as detail before various damaged body organ and altered chemistry affect how the brain think this buildup of think change occur over an extended time period these small change are usually unseen by the sufferer the person react by adjust their reasoning and behavior to accommodate their new way of think alcoholic always adjust their thinking in way that are harmful to themselves and far they can not see the impact of their new cope style typically they begin to adopt a siege mentality inner self feedback and from other people indicate they are not quite at one with their inner self or the person they once were their experience seem to paint a picture to the sufferer that people around they are against they or are well than they or are just different from themselves they become insecure angry ashamed depressed and anxious about their altered attitude and action this siege mentality generate a self center perspective to protect their self concept they become taker and non giver I want what I want and I want it now sort of thing I need a drink now regardless of the need of other and when they do not get it they assert themselves even more become more demanding as the disease progress alcoholic will increasingly try to cope by drink more alcohol to take away the pain of their perception of being isolate in thinking and behavior they slowly adopt a denial attitude to their real condition which they eventually believe is reality for they the alcoholic drink more due to a different brain chemistry and metabolism have crave for more alcohol due to cell alteration and organ damage and drink more to cope with the effect of their change thinking and behavior they are drink to feel normal the emotion from the above it can easily be see that their emotion become strained and twist they become emotionally dependent on achieve and keep a state of denial of their true situation they deny it to themselves and other if their alcoholism is in threat of being expose or their alcohol supply is threaten they may protect themselves with anger bluff self pity manipulation depression run away and so on they feel as if they must continue their current emotional and think stance at all cost alcohol have become their good friend and they are loyal to it the spirit the spirit of a person is the center of their personality if as see above the person is not think feeling or act as their true self would not align with their spiritual self they are spiritually ill at ease or this ease a solution the progression of the disease must be arrest by stop drinking and restoration of health in all four area body thinking emotion and spirit it is the this ease spiritual state that is target

they can not always guarantee when they will stop or how much they will drink the body a genetic predisposition fifty percent of alcoholic have an inherit genetic makeup that almost guarantee they would become alcoholic when they begin to drink heavily for example the brain chemistry of some child or grandchild of alcoholic actually encourage heavy drinking alcohol metabolism alcohol is metabolize differently by some people as a result the body and brain require more alcohol to have the same effect than normal drinker would need cell alteration all heavy drinker undergo change at the cellular level of the brain where the brain cell meet extra receptor position grow to receive the heavy dose of alcohol relate chemical messenger when not drink these extra receptor position demand to be fill thus create a craving for alcohol brain damage alcohol in any quantity is poisonous to brain cell and kill off cell in their million the most critically affect part of the brain are those that deal with short term memory decision making and rational thinking woman heavy drinker develop brain damage with less drinking than man liver damage the most common liver disease of alcoholic is cirrhosis scar of the liver this disease result in reduce and corrupt chemical being send to the body which can result in damage to other organ woman suffer liver damage with less alcohol consumption than man alcoholic hepatitis ah ah is cause by other liver disease most notably cirrhosis of the liver more than 60 of person who develop both ah and cirrhosis will die within four year ah can cause change in sleep pattern mood and personality psychiatric condition such as anxiety and depression shorten attention span and problem with coordination may occur brain chemical the body and especially the brain rely on the liver to filter important body fluid and excrete waste as a result of contaminated chemistry from a damage liver the brain do not function properly typically a person will have cloudy and slow think heart damage heavy drinking cause damage to the heart muscle the heart pump less blood and an abnormal heart beat may develop woman suffer heart damage with less alcohol consume than man skeletal muscle heavy drinking cause muscle in the arm and leg to shrink for example an alcoholic may have leg that are out of proportion skinny than the rest of their body sufferer may become embarrassed about their body shape cancer the risk of cancer increase with great alcohol consumption more so in woman cancer can develop in the upper airway the liver breast and the bowel sexual organ and sexuality heavy alcohol use shrink the testicle in man and woman the breast grow large man produce more female hormone and woman produce more male hormone man become less virile and woman become less feminine as a result a person sexuality and libido is alter they may sense change in their sexuality and over compensate by become more sexually active indiscriminate or intoxicated sexual activity raise the risk of get sexually transmit disease think as detail before various damaged body organ and altered chemistry affect how the brain think this buildup of think change occur over an extended time period these small change are usually unseen by the sufferer the person react by adjust their reasoning and behavior to accommodate their new way of think alcoholic always adjust their thinking in way that are harmful to themselves and far they can not see the impact of their new cope style typically they begin to adopt a siege mentality inner self feedback and from other people indicate they are not quite at one with their inner self or the person they once were their experience seem to paint a picture to the sufferer that people around they are against they or are well than they or are just different from themselves they become insecure angry ashamed depressed and anxious about their altered attitude and action this siege mentality generate a self center perspective to protect their self concept they become taker and non giver I want what I want and I want it now sort of thing I need a drink now regardless of the need of other and when they do not get it they assert themselves even more become more demanding as the disease progress alcoholic will increasingly try to cope by drink more alcohol to take away the pain of their perception of being isolate in thinking and behavior they slowly adopt a denial attitude to their real condition which they eventually believe is reality for they the alcoholic drink more due to a different brain chemistry and metabolism have crave for more alcohol due to cell alteration and organ damage and drink more to cope with the effect of their change thinking and behavior they are drink to feel normal the emotion from the above it can easily be see that their emotion become strained and twist they become emotionally dependent on achieve and keep a state of denial of their true situation they deny it to themselves and other if their alcoholism is in threat of being expose or their alcohol supply is threaten they may protect themselves with anger bluff self pity manipulation depression run away and so on they feel as if they must continue their current emotional and think stance at all cost alcohol have become their good friend and they are loyal to it the spirit the spirit of a person is the center of their personality if as see above the person is not think feeling or act as their true self would not align with their spiritual self they are spiritually ill at ease or this ease a solution the progression of the disease must be arrest by stop drinking and restoration of health in all four area body thinking emotion and spirit it is the this ease spiritual state that is target by the most successful treatment service world wide alcoholic anonymous aa through the twelve step of recovery each person find their inner spiritual self by strip away the effect of alcoholism and

hi everyone I am fairly new to the board but just need to vent today I was diagnose with bowel cancer in 2003 and have chemo radiotherapy and then surgery ileostomy then follow up chemo eventually the cancer spread to the liver which I have remove last july but unfortunately my surgeon was unable to get it all as it was in the lymph gland and nodes anyway I have been in horrific chronic pain lately and I have some exploratory surgery do two week ago a biopsy was take and come back positive for cancer back in the rectum I have not really been happy with the treatment I have been receive from my oncologist or surgeon and so I start a search to find the good of the good which to cut a long story short I find and go to see today he find that I have cancer around the anus and far up and at the site of the first operation in order to remove it he would have to remove my rectum vagina bladder uterus and I would be leave with 3 bag rather than the one I already have he also say that he would not want to do the surgery as it is difficult very big surgery and at least 6 month recovery plus I would lose quality of life and the main reason is that the cancer have spread and there is no cure for it now they can only hope to palliate I to buy I a little time in less pain I am so sad I am only just turn 39 and I have a little 6 year old boy who adore I and I he we really have the most special bond you could have as mother and son I do not have long to go perhaps 12 18 month at a guess and I can not bear the thought of leave he I am separate from his dad and my little boy do not see his dad all that much they do have a relationship but it could be a whole lot well he will not feel secure have to go and live with his dad who by the way have make it clear will not move down here so jack could stay at his own school with his own friend and family but he will move he up where he live 1 1 2 hour away regardless of what is good for jack so not only do jack lose his mum he also lose his home his school his friend and neighbour and family member from down this way the one thing that stand out in my mind apart from everything this brilliant surgeon say to I was that he believe naturopathy is well worth a go as he believe it will prolong my life somewhat so I am of course go to give this everything I have get to give and also do positive thinking and every other alternative thing I can possibly do so who know maybe I will at least last a few more year than what they predict I hope so as I really can not bear to leave my son please pray for I and send positive vibe to the universe as I can use all the help and support I can get also feel free to speak with I as I love get to know people and also help other if I can thank for let I waffle on so long here and get this off my chest,positive,2

hundred of patient each year undergo liver transplant when they do not need they and possibly never will a four month pittsburgh tribune review investigation find one in 10 of those patient die when they could have live long without the transplant the rest all at the rock bottom of waiting list must resign themselves to an early battle with the burdensome risk of anti rejection drug and complication that can follow infection cancer kidney damage and high blood sugar what s bad a third of those patient get the bad available liver organ sometimes reject by surgeon for thousand of sicker patient across the country the university of pittsburgh medical center and three other center head the list of hospital do such surgery the found father of organ transplantation include pioneer dr thomas e starzl at upmc warn more than a decade ago against transplanting liver into the least sick starzl and many other have not change their mind it is undoubtedly true that there are transplant being do that should not be do say starzl 81 and just now move toward retirement at upmc the trib investigation find and despite a federal rule design to limit the number of liver transplant in patient who are not critically ill four of the nation 128 program have do half of the 846 such transplant since 2005 the program by volume of transplant are clarian health in indianapolis pittsburgh upmc mayo clinic in jacksonville and strong memorial hospital in rochester and y most other center do not give liver to less critically ill patient except in rare case and transplant among least ill patient mean big money for medical center face increase competition by do transplant no one else will do center tap into a pool of some 8 500 patient worth an estimate 4 billion in potential charge they typically get pay the same no matter how sick the patient are and no federal rule exist on the use of marginal or inferior liver for transplantation individual surgeon decide whether an organ is suitable however when an organ come from a high risk donor physician are require by federal regulation to make that clear to the patient and liver transplant program sometimes bypass the sick patient because their reduce survival odd can hurt overall center success rate and of the 16 000 people on the national liver transplant waiting list only about 3 400 are so sick that have a transplant would increase their odd of surviving and people at the bottom of waiting list rarely get sicker quickly only five percent of the 5 800 people in the low segment of the list get so sick within a year that they absolutely need a transplant the tribs investigation come amid question about upmcs highly regard liver transplant program upmcs chief of transplantation dr amadeo marcos abruptly resign last monday robert j cindrich upmcs legal counsel say upmc have initiate an independent study of complication rate for its live donor liver transplant program those procedure use segment from live donor rather than whole liver from deceased donor he say marcos resignation is not relate to clinical issue or question raise by the newspaper before his resignation marcos say upmcs intent is to help patient that s the only drive force here to do the good for your patient and get good result marcos say that s it there s no ulterior motive in it but it do not always work that way high risk terry masker know the end have arrive his family gather around his hospital bed to celebrate his 60th birthday june 3 his baby as he like to call his grandchild bring a sheet cake and balloon masker turn to his wife of 40 year why do we let they kill I he say before a liver transplant eight month early the former salesman often attend his grandson baseball game cook meatloaf for his family and clean his house in elmira and y you would have never know he was sick say his eld son mickey 40 masker die on june 20 follow two liver transplant at strong memorial hospital in rochester and y retire from his job at frito lay masker have diabete and a bad back but few outward sign of liver disease his illness a condition know as cirrhosis have appear without warn in 2001 back then masker almost bleed to death when vein in his esophagus balloon and rupture a common complication of liver disease another such episode occur in 2005 the condition was treat with medicine and minor surgery by a gastroenterologist in elmira and y dr jagadeesh hathwar who tell masker in may 2006 he probably would not need a new liver for four or five year yet four month later surgeon at strong memorial place he on the transplant waiting list I was in shock say his wife carol hathwar too was surprised masker was in line for a transplant so quickly because his bleeding was not a straightforward indication of the need for an immediate transplant he say he leave the ultimate decision to the specialist at strong masker relatively good health was reflect in the numeric score universally use to rate the degree of liver disease the score know as meld for model end stage liver disease range from 6 for the least sick to 40 for the very ill the score is base on three blood test that predict a patient need for a new liver within the next three month patient who have an illness such as cancer or severe quality of life issue can apply for additional point to increase their score in rare case such as advanced cancer patient still need a transplant even if they can not get the exception point masker score of 11 show his own liver was function relatively well he do not know it at the time but people with score of 14 or low face more danger from a transplant than from liver disease accord to a 2005 study by surgeon at the scientific registry of transplant recipient at the university of michigan the nation lead organ research agency base in ann arbor those less ill patient are three time more likely to die within a year if they have a transplant than if they wait research from the agency show there are some transplant being do out there that probably ought not to be do say dr robert merion clinical transplant director of the scientific registry and the studys lead author some patient illnesses never progress to the point that a transplant is necessary merion say masker surgeon dr adel bozorgzadeh say masker bleed episode were reason enough without even ask for meld exception point to warrant a transplant he say he do not regret the decision and would do it again if it come to that this operation is not 100 percent guarantee say bozorgzadeh chief of solid organ transplantation at strong memorial there is risk associate with this operation the important thing is for the recipient to understand what the risk are and to be educate enough to accept or deny the offer the hospital provide the trib with copy of consent form sign by masker and state he know and understand the risk the united network for organ sharing or unos the national organ allocation clearinghouse change liver allocation policy in 2005 so that more patient with high score have first access to liver that mean that low score people like masker get liver that have been pass over by surgeon for other patient masker receive one barely 10 day after masker was place on the waiting list the phone rang as he and his wife sit in their favorite chair and finish a late dinner of salad and bread while watch law order it was 8 30 after midday the caller say they d find a liver for masker from a 76 year old south carolina man who die in a car accident because of federal allocation rule the liver have been offer to and pass over by surgeon at every center in five southeastern state as well as by doctor for every sicker patient in the country they begin a 2 hour drive to the hospital another choice across the country in seattle linda mate receive a similar call offer a new liver a register nurse diagnose with hepatitis c in 1996 mate have worry about a transplant even with a meld score of 16 which give she a well chance of get a good liver why would not you want to hang on to your own body part and not go through that kind of thing say mate 56 they virtually open you up one side and down the other and filet you like a fish and take your organ out and put someone else organ in your body its very scary so scary that mate turn down the liver which have come from a patient who have been a know intravenous drug user mate have concern about the quality of the liver and she still feel pretty well she constantly feel tired but work hard to stay healthy by rest and watch her diet that was in november last month mate blood work reveal a rare accomplishment her meld score have drop to 13 her doctor at the university of washington medical center take she off the transplant waiting list I m not at death door say mate who like to paint and sing for a rock band I do not feel that wonderful but am I ready to trade one big problem for another big problem I do not want a transplant right now even though she know some patient are miserable despite have a low meld score mate can not make much sense of transplant center that operate on the less ill why take a chance of kill someone or have a complication on the table with someone who is not in need yet she say the answer lie in how routine organ transplantation have become doctor say the surgery are so common that patient often think of they as being akin to replace a crack windshield say dr jeffrey punch transplant director at the university of michigan medical center and a member of the unos regional council its pretty much impossible to show that patient with low meld score benefit from transplant he say transplantation is a gruesome business because patient have an 83 percent chance of live after one year punch say to have 1 of 6 transplant patient die that s the same as let everyone play russian roulette other surgeon express similar view even in the good surgical hand there s a risk of surgery or immuno suppression mortality that is fix say dr richard freeman jr a transplant surgeon at the tufts new england medical center in boston he co author the paper on low meld transplant with merion you can not avoid that if your risk of die of liver disease is very low it do not make sense to do a liver transplant mate experience show that not everyone have to go immediately to the extreme of have a transplant starzl see it that way too if you go right to the ultimate solution of liver failure you re go to the extreme end of replace the engine when maybe all you have to do is do a spark plug and the spark plug could be a whole variety of small procedure he say marginal liver ride through a late october rainstorm terry masker was pump with adrenaline still unsure whether to take the liver his son mickey pull over at their church where the never baptize masker receive the sacrament and speak about feel at peace I know I m go to be ok he tell his family when they arrive at strong memorial the masker hear the magic word I would give this liver to my mother bozorgzadeh tell the family the surgeon say he tell the family that despite the donor age of 76 the liver was in good condition doctor reject liver for all sort of reason not only blood type or tissue type but also donor size and age or simply because either the doctor or patient is on vacation to expand the liver pool transplant center routinely use organ that would have been reject year ago surgeon say skill acquire through the year give they the expertise to use those organ its kind of an ego thing say michigan punch I can use the bad possible liver they do not believe they are do these patient a disservice doctor who routinely use these liver say they are make the good use of all organ at a time when more than 16 000 people are wait for liver nationwide only 6 274 underwent transplant in 2007 accord to the scientific registry the well organ are go to the high meld sicker patient and on average the bad quality organ are go to the low meld patient merion say and if anything that actually drive the detriment that s associate with receive a transplant if you have a low meld score marco the former chief at upmc say he do not favor give inferior liver to the sick patient that would benefit the individual patient but it would hurt the center overall survival rate he say if I m go to die within a month if I do not get a transplant and if I get a transplant I have a 40 percent chance of live after a year that make sense to you marcos say but do that make sense as a whole for the program about 84 percent of upmc patient were still alive one year after the transplant uno datum show the number would be bad if upmc only put available liver into the sick patient if I were to get a 40 percent survival I would not be in transplantation marcos say there will be bus of dead people at st lukes hospital mayo clinic jacksonville more than half the transplant last year use marginal organ say dr christopher hughes chair of transplant surgery st luke have start use more of those organ since face increase competition from new and more aggressive center in the southeast hughe say the organ work just as well and allow center to clear waiting list fast you always want your program to have a high volume and be successful hughe say the fact were able to maintain quality despite push the limit have allow we to go far and far dr a joseph tector chief of transplantation at clarian provide a draft of unpublished research show that outcome at his center are the same no matter whether the liver come from the local region or across the country mean they have been reject by other surgeon the indianapolis hospital consider all liver unless the donor is old than 60 or the donate organ have been outside the body long than 12 hour doctor can not guarantee there will be a liver when the patient become sicker tector say I can not promise anybody that they ll get that liver transplant tector say the question is are you go to be well off get it now or wait until you re much sicker the you s health resource and service administration publish a report in september that look at good practice which include clarian and st luke for reduce surgical time and improve quality terry masker wife and son say they do not remember being tell he have the chance of get a marginal liver but bozorgzadeh the surgeon say he and another surgeon dr mark orloff have a 45 minute meeting with he in which they speak about allocation rule you have the right to refuse it bozorgzadeh say it do not mean you will be take off the list after masker spend 10 hour in the operating room doctor tell his family he was bleed uncontrollably when his family finally get to see he he was hook to a machine to help he breathe and his head and body have balloon the next day doctor take he for emergency surgery they sell we on this liver his son mickey say in the living room of his pine city and y home I am furious the business of transplant center that stop do transplant on patient such as masker with a low meld score give up a large percentage of potential business at its height in 2003 doctor at the university of cincinnati do 38 low meld transplant they do none through the first nine month of last year they stop because dr steven rudich the head of liver transplantation refuse to operate on patient who are well off wait transplant center bill an average of 449 200 for every liver transplant include cost of doctor medicine and follow up care accord to unos estimate that would mean the center have give up about 17 million a year conversely low meld transplant make up a large part of the business at some center across the country at strong memorial one in five transplant is do in the least ill patient the number are similar at upmc and even high at clarian in indianapolis where a third of the patient have meld score below 15 surgeon say they are not motivate by a desire to make money for themselves or their program organ transplantation always start out with the good of intention say clarian tector people do not go into organ transplantation generally with dastardly plan or you know horrible financial motive there are easy way to make a living when masker first liver transplant fail he receive a second organ this time from a 27 year old woman with cancer of the central nervous system there was only a slight chance the cancer would be pass on to masker the liver work but two month after the transplant test find cancer in masker liver his family choose not to tell he about it my mom was worried he was go to give up mickey masker say by the end of may masker kidney have shut down and he was on dialysis he have sustain several infection and have lose a lot

medical center in dallas two hour from his home last june with a meld score of 16 doctor call with an offer of a new liver do not you think you should wait his parent say to he henshaw who was eager to move on with his life and put behind the endless medical test do not think about it twice he have a rare blood type and worry another match would never come I was do nothing but wait to get sicker anyway he say I do not want to die wait I want to have an opportunity to get well the transplant do not go well he was awake only for a few day when his condition go downhill he slip into a coma within 10 day he receive a second transplant that surgery too lead to complication include infection and a about with pancreatitis an inflammation of the pancrea that is deadly in one of five case oo

clog his condition have worsen to the point where he need another liver and an upper bowel transplant he expect to travel to pittsburgh upmc within a month for that procedure I never really say I regret do it because I have to do it to be alive he say his mother barb who is an active member of several online support group say ken might not have survive have he not been in relatively good shape you have to remember people who have a fatal disease before midday themselves with any and all information they can get their hand on she say so we understand all of the risk but honestly what choice do anyone have transplant or death pretty easy decision doctor say transplant candidate must balance the benefit against potential risk though some people may suffer from side effect like itching and fluid retention that alone is no reason to put yourself through a transplant say dr michael m abecassis chief of transplantation at northwestern memorial hospital in chicago we tell patient its one thing to be tired its another to be dead he say patient who face those problem can seek to increase their meld score by make a request for so call exception point to a regional review board comprise of doctor dr amadeo marcos the former transplant chief at upmc say he believe low meld patient who need a transplant should get it even if they do not qualify for exception point abecassis disagree we do not let patient talk we into transplanting he say this is not plastic surgery if somebody say I do not like my nose change it that s fine but this is a pretty serious operation plus you are use up a liver that may cause someone else to die because its not available to they indianapolis call come in from across the united states around the clock organ procurement agency have liver that are about to be throw out unless clarian health base here want they often it do even if a liver have been reject by doctor for thousand of the sick patient clarians transplant chief dr a joseph tector will take a second look unless the donor is old than 60 or the organ have been outside a body long than 12 hour its like shop for car ok and its your 16 year old kid who need a car tector say they do not need a maserati they need to get to school they need to be able to drive to practice and stuff like that and that s it so that car do not have to be the great car in the world for they to have a very good quality of life these organ are no different tector who get his start in pittsburgh have build clarian into a top program largely by perform transplant on patient who are not critically ill often give they liver that have been turn down by other since 2005 clarian have do 137 transplant surgery on patient at the bottom of the nation waiting list it do more such surgery than any other program in the united states and the transplant make up more than a third of the liver program total caseload as a result patient at clarian do not wait long for liver despite use liver reject by other clarian often make they work it post a high than expect organ success rate in the late report from the federally back scientific registry of transplant recipient which track and analyze organ transplant datum a year after transplant 89 percent of clarians transplant recipient remain alive slightly high than the center expect rate the national rate is 82 percent but many of the center comprise that number treat a high percentage of sicker patient who have low survival odd tector unpublished research show his patient have well long term survival odd if they undergo transplant surgery before become very ill what is unclear is how those patient would have fare with no transplant if you are a patient with a low meld score it do not matter if you are go to have a well survival than somebody with a high meld score say dr robert merion the registrys clinical director it only matter whether your survival at your low meld score is well with a transplant than without a transplant after look at merion research dr steven rudich at the university of cincinnati stop do most liver transplant on people with low meld score with a meld of 15 your one year survival is practically a hundred percent without a transplant he say your one year survival with a meld of even 17 or 18 my friend is pretty damn good other unpublished clarian research show the center reach essentially the same result no matter whether it use a liver that come from nearby or one from hundred of mile away that have been turn down at other center tector say he tell patient what they need to know or ask about the donor organ basically what we tell people is that cinderellas dead snow white is dead you are not get their liver tector say,neutral,1

new biomarker predict response to hepatitis c treatment about this article article detail publish aug 16 2009 update aug 16 2009 by duke medicine news and communication researcher have identify the first genetic marker that predict response to hepatitis c treatment and a single letter of dna code appear to make a huge difference duke university medical center scientist say the biomarker not only predict who is most likely to respond to treatment and who is not but also may explain why there are such different rate of response among racial and ethnic group a phenomenon that have puzzle physician for year for geneticist understand response to treatment for hepatitis c infection have been almost like a holy grail say david goldstein phd director of the center for human genome variation in duke institute for genome science policy and the senior author of the study the side effect of hepatitis treatment can be brutal and about half the time the treatment fail to eradicate the virus this discovery enable we to give patient valuable information that will help they and their doctor decide what is good for they this is what personalized medicine is all about the discovery is report online in the journal nature hepatitis c is one of the most common infection in the world affect an estimate 170 million people many can live with the disease for year without any serious complication about a quarter of the time however the infection lead to cirrhosis of the liver which in turn can lead to liver cancer or death or the need for a transplant hepatitis c is the lead cause for liver transplant in the you s treatment typically involve 48 week of interferon plus the antiviral drug ribavirin some patient develop such tax side effect that they stop treatment physician have long observe that african americans are less likely to respond to treatment than caucasian while east asian patient seem to respond the good but until now no one have know why this discovery appear to explain a large part of it it is most certainly a triumph of translational medicine say john mchutchison md associate director of the duke clinical research institute a member of the division of gastroenterology in the school of medicine at duke and study co author this is a perfect example of bedside to bench and back to bedside investigation the new marker is a single letter change a c instead of a t in a tiny segment of dna near the il28b gene researcher find it by study 1671 individual who participate in the ideal study a multi center clinical trial that compare the two most widely use therapy among patient with the most common form of the disease in the you s and europe mchutchison was the lead investigator of the recently publish ideal study which find no clinically meaningful difference in overall viral response among the regimen in conduct the current study goldstein and his colleague find that the patient who have the single letter change in their dna were significantly more likely to respond to treatment than those who do not have it eighty percent of those with the favorable response genotype eradicate the virus while only about 30 percent with the less favorable response genotype do so with difference of that magnitude patient consider therapy may want to know what their genotype is before they start treatment say goldstein goldstein say they were strike by the finding that the good genotype prove beneficial to patient in all population subgroup but because it appear significantly more often among caucasian population than it do among african population we feel it explain much of the difference in response rate we see between african americans and those of european ancestry say goldstein this tell we that individual genetic makeup is much more important determinant of response to treatment than is race or ethnicity researcher find that african americans with the favorable cc genotype have a significantly high rate of response to treatment 53 3 percent than do individual of european ancestry who have the less favorable tt genotype 33 3 percent the researcher also run test to see if the presence of the biomarker was relate in any way to viral load a measure of how much virus was circulate in the patient before treatment start they find a significant association in all group interestingly we find that the c allele although associate with well treatment response was associate with a high viral load at baseline something we have traditionally view as a negative prognostic marker when it come to treatment response say mchutchison that find along with other evidence glean in the research suggest that patient who have the beneficial genetic marker might be especially adept at spontaneously clear the virus through some as yet unknown mechanism say mchutchison it was thrill to discover such an important biological marker relate to response to hepatitis c treatment but at the same time the finding tell we there is a lot more work to do before we can fully understand how patient immune system protect they from the virus this stunning finding support the integration of research effort that previously were not connect say robert califf md vice chancellor for clinical research and director of the duke translational medicine institute drs goldstein mchutchison and colleague have combine world class genotyping and clinical trial management in an academic medical center with an industry sponsor clinical trial to produce a set of finding that are likely to change practice their focus on modification of clinical outcome is especially important to note as we design future study some member of the research team are interested in find a way to routinely test for the new marker but mchutchison say important work still need to be do this study only pertain to patient with genotype 1 infection we still need to evaluate the polymorphism among patient with less common genotype of hepatitis c the study was fund by the schering plough research institute lead author of the study include dongliang ge jacques fellay and alexander thompson of duke and jason simon of schere plough additional co author include duke kevin shianna thomas urban erin heizen andrew muir and john mchutchison ping qui and arthur bertelsen from schere plough and mark sulkowski from johns hopkins university drs

my last posting in feb say that the radiation oncologist tell we that tom lymph node near his liver were still enlarge well she do so without the full actual ct scan report apparantly 2 radiologist read the report one for chest and one for abdomin at any rate we meet the follow monday w the chemo oncologist he have the entire ct report by then and the ct scan was clear no enlarged lymph node see anywhere when we read the report there is no mention of the tumor so tom have an endoscopy last week there is no tumor now but they biopsie the tissue where the tumor was we find out tomorrow whether there are active cancer cell remain in the esophagus he is also schedule for another pet scan next week to get a close look at those node here is the reason for my confusion all along through the radiation and chemo the doc keep say that the goal was to get rid of the cancer in the lymph node and to shrink the tumor so that tom would be a candidate for surgery well now that we are there the dr tell we that they would not do surgery because once you have a stage of t 3 and 2 they would not re stage and the team would not agree to the surgery he tell we that too many time they see people go through the surgery then the cancer show up and they do not have the strength to go through the chemo again I do not know do this make sense we are very confused obviously if the biopsy show no malignant cancer cell in the esophagus we would not want to have to go through the surgery but if there are cancer cell then surgery seem like a reasonable next step especially when the lymph node look good,neutral,1

I just finish a journal update about my daughter doctor visit yesterday feel free to read it I copy the main part of it to post here on rs liver she have 2 abnormal nodule 1 very small spot which they think is cancer the spot is so small that it would be very hard to get a biopsy of so they are go to wait 3 month then do another mri to see if the spot have grow see if there have been any change in the nodule if at that time the spot have grow they will do a biopsy while they are in there they will shoot the spot with something like neucleor micro wave try to fry it if the spot then still persist grow once it reach a certain size they will put she on the liver transplant list also his most immediate concern is that rs spleen is enlarge the reason for that is that her liver is harden there are vein that come from her stomache bowel spleen that empty into the liver however because her liver is harden the fluid is have a hard time flow into it therefore back up cause her spleen to enlarge he order a endoscopy to go down look at the vein in her stomache he say that it is the main concern because if it enlarge too much it could cause an anorysm rupture if there is a problem there it can be fix by endoscopy surgery and or medicine but this is obviously a situation that needs closely monitor the doctor also discuss with she the fact that in about a month or so the new tx will be available so she will be start on that as soon as it is available he once again go over his detailed plan for her tx it is reassure that he is fully aware of the problem that she encounter during her previous tx that he is prepared to keep a close eye on thing have a plan in place to try to combat any side she might have so that is what we find out yesterday as it seem to be with everything to do with this disease we just have to take thing one step at a time work our way through it much love to all of you I value your prayer support friendship so very much thank all of you for it we have to count our blessing all of you here are a huge blessing to I,neutral,1

hi as most of my friend know I have give up on antibiotic for some time now I have been eat raw garlic instead finely chop up wash down with a large glass of water I have been research food and this is what I have come up with raw garlic have a number of unique characteristic not only is is antibacterial and antiviral it also cleanse the blood and is suppose to actually reduce thickening and clot in the blood as well it contain unique sulphur compound that low blood pressure and suppress cholesterol it is suppose to reduce case of gastric cancer too I recommend a dose of two clove a day raw finally chop and wash down with water I have been tell for some time now that when give blood that my blood was too thick after the garlic I notice an improvement I do not take antibiotic any more as I was get bad migraine on the doxycycline and my eyesight was get bad too I figure that what is the point of stay on long term antibiotic which temporarily fight off the lyme for it only to return when I can take the garlic instead so many problem cause by lyme actually affect the circulation and damage the heart so this is a viable alternative for now anyway I believe that take antibiotic will damage my health long term just as much as the lyme do whilst if I take the garlic and someone come up with a reliable cure for chronic lyme then at least I will be in a good enough position health wise to try the new medication I also think that ban fruit from the diet which lymie say encourage the bacteria to flourish is wrong too as the antibiotic contain lot of e number and the lyme die off is toxic too so the liver need vitamin c and b12 to cleanse these toxin from the blood in the case of someone with liver disease a diet rich in vitamin c such as citrus fruit and strawberry vitamin b12 find in liver and fish folate find in cooked liver and green fruit and vegetable cut down on fat from fatty meat and full fat dairy product sugar and coffee and tea also avoid heavily spice food and alcohol obviously I do not want to seem controversial here as everyone need to make the correct decision as to what treatment well suit their individual need base on their doctor advice and own decision but I do feel that allow a period off the antibiotic for a while to allow the system to detoxify would not be a bad idea any feed back on this gratefully receive regard dave postscript please do not berate I for this posting,neutral,1
hey I have an idea I would like to shoot past you guy I am think that have hep c and some liver damage might present itself as long as the person is overweight in the amount of fat in the right armpit if you could check and see if you have more fat under your right before midday than under your left before midday just stand in front of a mirror put your before midday up over your head and pinch the armpit lightly from side to side not top to bottom then pinch the fat under the other before midday and tell I if one have more fat than the other I am think it have to do with the lymph system I am think we would benefit from do a lymphatic massage to assist the liver removal of toxin the lymph system help to remove fat from the body as well http www lymphnote com article php i d 151 this is fascinating the lymph system is unequally divide the right lymph system serve the right side of the head face neck right before midday and just the upper right quadrant of the trunk where the liver is I can understand that see that the liver do so much to remove toxin from the body anyway let I know what you find I am about 20 pound overweight and the fat is almost twice as much in my right before midday pit as my left however after gently massage the armpit the side of the pectoralis chest muscle and on up to the neck where the lymph rejoin the blood stream my fat in the right armpit is about equal to that under the left armpit now I am remember a friend who was diagnose with prostate cancer and give 3 month to live since it was so progress he have a huge lump at the place on the neck where the left lymphatic drain is the left lymphatic drain would be the one that drain the lymph from the groin point is what I am deduce here is that if you are experience an swelling under your arm or at the base of your neck near your shoulder it would probably be a good idea to get some test do,neutral,1

I have been research endo and read everything I can find on the topic in an effort to help myself and avoid a 5th surgery hysterectomy I want to share some of my finding that everyone with endo should know my finding in a nut shell endometriosis is an estrogen dominant disease endometriosis feed on estrogen if you have too much estrogen in your body it is create an environment to support more endo to grow your liver process out extra estrogen if your liver is congest it will not work as hard to remove the estrogen look up how to do a liver flush this is helpful many patient with endo have low progesterone progesterone help to balance estrogen and low it take a natural progesterone cream or oil that is apply to your skin be careful of what cream you choose some have estrogen and paraben in they avoid these the good I find is progestelle I get it online you may feel bad for a few month before you see improvement also you should aviod xenoestrogens for a while before you start it avoid xenoestrogens they are chemical that mimic estrogen in the body the liver can not process they out as well and they dramatically impact estrogen dominance they are find in cosmetic lotion soaps paint plastic herbacide pesticide and more go natural it is not easy to find these product that are free of xenoestrogens the big one I focus on is avoid paraben in my personal care product what you eat is process through the liver that s why the liver flush is so helpful to help the body get rid of estrogen the problem with the xenoestrogens is that they come into the body through the skin what go on your skin do not get process through the liver and go directly into your system seek out paraben free product and protect yourself if you are garden eat organic veggie vegetable are grow with many pesticide and unnatural fertilizer that contain xenoestrogens at least wash your veggie very well if you can not buy organic avoid commercial milk and dairy in the us we use the bovine growth hormone in our dairy cow nasty stuff not approve in any other developed nation helpful also to avoid commercially grow beef chicken and pork product do not heat up food in plastic container this is the 1 for I I heat up my food in glass bowel with a paper towel over it when you heat plastic it release the chemical into your food the effect of environmental toxin and xenoestrogen are still under study in the mean time many serious disease are occur not just endo but breast cancer have been on the rise same estrogen dominance issue man are grow breast boy genital are not develop very young girl are get period while I was at my specialist office I hear they take a call ask if they could treat a pediatric patient that is 5 year old for endo even more surprising was the answer that the young they have treat is 12,neutral,1

hi I think I would share with you all what I have been do for the last four month I try and fail on gluten free diet but after do some research and realise that anytime I have a lump that I would get all sort of other thing like cold and so on it was like my immune system was not able to fight anything else off so I decide to boost my immune system my dermatology consultant over the year have give I vitamin d cream differen but that alone do not work so now I take vitamin that are great for the immune system and skin the one thing I do swear by is shark liver oil sound strange I know but it is one of the good immune booster out there they sometimes give it to patient with cancer I have been in remission for three month I forgot to take it for a few day and decide to exercise I then have one come up in my bum I take my shark liver oil with vitamin c and zinc and by the morning my big lump have go down dramtically like per annum size normally it take I a couple of week for they to go down when I do not take shark liver oil I would suggest not take it if you are allergic to seafood other vitamin I take are vitamin a b50 complex e d give it a try and let I know how you guy get on I think I would share it on here as I have reply to certain topic but think it would be easy to just start a topic obviously it may not work for everyone but it is one other thing that is worth a try,neutral,1
I am thankful my annual test 2 year after transplant show no recurrence of cancer but because they are see a partial blockage or stenosis in my left portal vein contribute to the need for the blood they give I 2 week ago they now need to put in a stint and do an endoscopy to make sure I have no varix swollen vein in my esophagus and even though I have been on fluid pill for week the fluid in my abdomen foot and low leg keeps come back question1 have any of you have these symptom I think all this usually happen to people who have progress to cirrhosis but my biopsy in april show stage 2 fibrosis in my new liver even though with my genotype 1a tt the doc say chance are very low of hep c txs work they are still want I to take they I am anemic already so second question question 2 since the viral load number do not necessarily indicate how much damage there is to your liver how do they know your liver is benefit from txs if the viral load is go down I have never have txs and my only option is the interferon ribo I do not want to be take round of txs off and on just to bridge I over a little until a cure come out if I am go to be sick and dependent on my family all the time,neutral,1

I go to al anon I have hear all of the argument but I have a real problem call alcoholism a disease alcoholism is nothing like cancer as it is often liken to I know they are not say its identical but what I mean is that I believe it is a slap in the face to all those who suffer from a disease like cancer or diabete or lupus or you fill in the blank I personally think it is a copout and give fuel to as that they can not help it do they have a genetic disposition towards alcoholism maybe but there is not any evidence in my husband case that this is true even so if there is a genetic predisposition it still come down to choice no people do not start out choose to become alcoholic to become addicted but they do choose to deal with life through the bottle and that is a fact not a disease I just get so frustrated hear the likeness to disease I care for my grandmother 12 year ago who have a brain tumor and pass I also care for my mother who die from bone cancer alcoholism do not in any way shape or form resemble what I witness with these lady I love dearly they do not choose a way of life that cause their cancer unlike the alcoholic that choose to find his her strength from the bottle and end up with liver issue and can die from it or die because they get behind a wheel and crash no similarity whatsoever in my mind to I there is not one iota of common sense to that line of thought,negative,0

I know most of we with anxiety also suffer hypochondria which is what start our anxiety anywhoo I come across this story I hope you all enjoy I descend into hypochondria at age 39 when I find a tiny lump in my breast normally I would not have worry my breast are naturally very dense and lumpy and my doctor have never seem concerned but this particular lump appear during the most difficult time of my lifein the midst of watch my father die of cancer right after I find it I go with my family to dad oncologist office where we would find out whether a hellish about of radiation and chemo have kill the cancer grow in dad esophagus while we wait I look at one of those plastic card that explain how to do a breast self exam I was still hold the card when the doctor come in and clip some x ray to a light board he point to a small dark spot on my father liver the cancer was spread when I could stop cry I realize I was still clutch the breast exam card it seem like a sign I go home and google breast lump and what I read make my hand shake and my heart race suddenly I could not think of anything else in the shower at the dinner table drive the kid to school all I could think about was die after that I really was sickjust not with cancer hypochondria might seem like a joke a label you pin on a friend whose health drama never amount to anything but like depression or anxiety hypochondria is a recognize psychiatric disorder it affect an estimate 1 to 5 percent of americans and like those disorder it exist on a continuum from people who simply worry excessively about their health to those who are completely debilitate by fear true hypochondriac do not just make up fake symptom and imaginary pain in a bid for attention instead every time a genuine symptom appear they believe that something is terribly wrong when a test turn up nothing a hypochondriac worry anyway sure the next test or doctor will uncover a serious or even fatal illness I do not imagine the lump in my breast what make I a hypochondriac is that no reassuring mammogram ultrasound or mri could ever convince I I was not die after that first panicky google search I go straight to my ob gyns office to get the lump check out as a nurse gently prod and knead I chat with she try to calm myself down I was probably overreact I say and explain that my fatherthe one person who could make I feel both completely protect and completely sure of my own strengthwas die as close as dad and I were it was hard to separate what was happen to he from what was happen to I the nurse nod kindly then she say oop there s a mass a word like mass have a way of strip all logic from the conversation the nurse say it was probably nothing but I need a mammogram and an ultrasound to be sure she tell I repeatedly that this mass do not feel like cancer to she that 80 percent of lump even the really suspicious one do not turn out to be cancer that it was not time to start plan my funeral but to a woman with a mass in her breast and a die father the word funeral work like a dirty bomb explode into fragment that lodge deep in the brain the test only confirm that I have extremely dense breast tissuethe kind that make it nearly impossible for a radiologist to see anything in a mammogram or an ultrasound the next step a biopsy that turn out fine and the cheerful surgeon report that he was not worried about I at all but then he say I need to return for another ultrasound in three month was he hide something if there was nothing amiss why do I need to come back as it turn out dense breast tissue is a risk factor for cancer which is why neither that surgeon nor one I consult for a second opinion would give I an all clear three time that first year I return for schedule exam on two other occasion I show up with new lump I was worried about every time my test result show nothing wrong but instead of feel relieved I would brood about the cancer in hide the one the doctor do not catch I get so worried I could hardly work I cancel dinner party refuse to plan for the future when decoration go on sale after the holiday i d think I might not live to see next christmas and buy nothing meanwhile my parent come to stay with I and my family so I could help mom care for dad one of my son try to understand his grandfather illness say you are not go to get sick too are you mommy he look up at I trustingly and the fear rise up in my throat so thick I could hardly breathe before long the stress lead to more symptom that seem to warrant follow up insomnia heart palpitation irregular period a constant stomach ache over the next few year I have pelvic ultrasound a colonoscopy an endoscopy a colposcopy an ekg and countless blood testsand nothing was wrong most of the test I suspect were order by my amazingly patient doctor to quell my fear but the more testing I have the more worried I become good test result were no solace during the three year it take my father to die and the grieve year afterward for people debilitate by hypochondria antidepressant and therapy may help but I never consider these option because like so many hypochondriac I do not realize I was one what cure I is the fact that I do not die time pass after my father death and I begin to recognize the connection between my fear and my grief over his loss I realize that even if I could not banish that fear entirely I could take step to keep it from spiral out of control eventually I stop think of my body as a time bomb and begin finally to think of it as the very thing that let I live a happy life these day I sleep well and I laugh more checkup still make I nervous but I talk myself out of the tree by remember all the test and biopsy that turn out fine I no long google every little ache and pain because of the inevitable caveat rarely these are also symptom of a more serious condition instead I take a wait and see approach I m more likely to worry if I m exhausted or stress so I get eight hour of sleep and I never skip my workout I have a happy marriage healthy child deep friendship interesting work that s always been trueby themselves such blessing are no protection from hypochondria but I now understand that a constant fear of death is the sure way to ruin my own bless life and in its own way my about with hypochondria have turn out to be a gift the daily irritation that use to drive I to distractiontraffic delay flaky coworker cancel appointmentshardly touch I now I m too busy feel grateful to be alive,negative,0

occur along with dark urine the incubation period vary from 2 26 week liver enzyme test may range from being elevate to being normal for week to as long as a year the virus is in the blood and may be cause liver cell damage and the infected person can transmit the disease to other what is hepatitis c hepatitis c virus hcv cause inflammation of the liver a national you s survey find that 1 8 percent of americans about 3 9 million have been infect with hcv of whom most about 2 7 million are chronically infect with hcv with many show no sign or symptom the good news is that in 1995 a

to cause serious liver damage in some people diagnose hcv infection by the hepatitis c virus can be determine by a blood test that detect hcv antibodie in the blood this test is not a part of a routine physical and people must ask their doctor for hepatitis c test if the initial test is positive a second test should be do to confirm the diagnosis and liver enzyme a blood test should be measure anti hcv antibodie to the virus may not be present in the first four week of infection in about 30 of patient hcv infection may be identify by the presence of anti hcv in approximately 60 of people as early as 5 8 week after exposure in some individual hcv antibody may not be detect for 5 12 month hcv rna and retweet pcr test can determine hcv presence in as little as 1 2 week over 80 of hcv infection become chronic which mean liver enzyme level remain elevated for six month or more after the initial acute infection treat hcv interferon is a protein that your body make to fight infection interferon use as a treatment increase the amount of interferon in your body ribavirin is a medicine that fight certain virus currently there are three type of interferon and a combination of interferon and ribavirin use to treat hepatitis c selection of patient for treatment may be determine by biochemical virologic and when necessary liver biopsy finding rather than presence or absence of symptom blood test and liver biopsy finding may determine the need for treatment interferon must be give by injection and may have a number of side effect include flu like symptom headache fever fatigue loss of appetite nausea vomiting and thinning of hair ribavirin give by mouth can have additional side effect include depression severe anemia and especially birth defect woman or the male partner of woman who are pregnant or who are plan pregnancy should not take ribavirin pregnancy should not be attempt until six month after treatment is end ribavirin may also interfere with the

of child with hcv is under investigation researcher are re examine when treatment should begin for how long it should continue and its effectiveness many pharmaceutical company and nih are conduct research to find more effective treatment and cure currently almost 1 2 of all liver transplant in the we are perform for end stage hepatitis c however re infection of the transplanted liver by the

after the acute infection within the chronically infect group about 20 go on to develop cirrhosis scarring of the liver of this group 25 may develop liver failure even though this may take 30 40 year cirrhosis slow the blood flow through the liver and cause increase pressure in the vein that carry blood from the stomach and the intestine to the liver as a result varicose vein e g varix may develop in the stomach and esophagus without warn these large vein can break cause a person to vomit blood or have black tarry stool an estimate 8 000 10 000 death occur each year result from the complication of hcv is there a cure for hepatitis c doctor prefer not to use the word cure but if treatment is successful it is feel that health risk from hepatitis c can be reduce dramatically with successful treatment the virus go from always being present to never being present in the blood treatment also can make people feel well and may prevent future liver problem prevent hcv infection there is no vaccine to prevent hcv vaccine for hepatitis a and b do not provide immunity against hepatitis c there are various genotype of hcv and the virus undergo mutation make it difficult to develop a vaccine avoid handle anything that may have the blood of an infected person on it such as razor scissor toothbrushe nail clipper or file tampon or sanitary napkin and so on detergent and a 10 solution of household bleach is believe to kill the virus don t share drug needle cocaine straw or any drug paraphernalia practice safe sex use latex condom notify your physician and dentist that you have

I just pick up a book on enzyme from iherb for a song 15 book for 5 I like that kind of discount laugh out loud I am read it and I am blow away enzyme are so important there is a short paragraph about a dr john beard in scotland an embryologist who in the early 1900s was study the placenta and find that the cell that form the placenta behave like cancer cell he do not expound on that but I know that cancer cell develop rapidly as they have no spcific job or function in the body nothing to do but make more cancer cell so I am think the placenta also have to grow quickly to hold a baby and that is what he mean anyway he note that on day 56 the pancrea in the fetus begin to function and precisely at that time the placenta stop grow so he figure maybe the pancrea give off somthing that make that happen and maybe it would stop the growth of malignant cancerous tumor so he inject pancreatic juice from young animal into malignant cancer and the tumor shrink both in animal and human this was amazing beard work was publish in the journal of the american medical association in 1911 he publish his therapy and support evidence he die in 1923 and his work was forget right now however a dr nicholas gonzalez md is work with beard treatment and you can read about it at http www dr gonzalez com I find the article here is the link http www lef org magazine mag96 oct96 pract html the book also say that almost all disease are cause by a lack of enzyme in the body I have been take a lot of enzyme digestive and proteolytic enzyme are useful in prevent the virus from replicate enzyme help the liver do its job and help the body absorb more nutrition from the food we eat enzyme are present in raw food but destroy by cook also there are only enough enzyme in a raw food to digest that raw food not enough to digest the cooked food you eat with the raw food I take betaine hcl and digestive enzyme with every meal that have cook food in it it really make a difference,neutral,1

hi friend remember a few week ago there was a post entitle liver biopsy indicate persistent inflammation and fibrosis in hcv antibody positive people with undetectable hcv rna december 2008 well I do some sleuth my niece is a liver specialist and was train under a specialist in boston who know the article author and I ask she to remark about the report erin my niece write to I today and give I her comprehensive response I want to share it with you because it is so informative prior to receive her email today I have already decide not to do treatment for now base on my recent biopsy that show little change from 5 year ago whatever I am do without treatment it is keep fibrosis and inflammation pretty control let we hope it stay that way however erin comment are hopeful I think for those of you do tx hope you find this of value ok I read the article and a few related article the bottom line I would not worry too much about it first of all the article in question do not look at patient who have been treat for hepatitis c only look at patient who have supposedly spontaneously clear the virus on their own rather it tell we some about the natural history that is if we just leave it alone of hepatitis c I assume anyway see the next paragraph that being say the study do not explicitly say that none of their patient have not been treat before that bring up the possiblity that some of those people may have start out with virus in the blood got treat and then end up with some fibrosis that was there before they were even treat it is not clear to I which is the scenario second even if the virus do remain in the liver at very low level we do not really know what that mean year of experience with hepatitis c tell we that if the virus is clear from the blood further damage is halt and in some case reverse a potential exception to this would be patient who already have cirrhosis to begin with third we know from hepatitis b that even in some people with undetectable level in the blood the virus remain in the liver and can reactivate flare up and cause major problem especially people who get immunosuppressive for cancer and so on this is well describe and commonly see despite hepatitis c being extremely common we do not see the same phenomenon so even if it remain in the liver again who know what the clinical significance of it is fourth dr di bisceglie my attend in clinic just publish a study also in hepatology that do a 5 year follow up of patient who have been successfully treat for hepatitis c and find that 80 of they have improvement of fibrosis and 90 in their inflammation they do not measure virus level in the liver but what we really care about clinically is the damage which they show is improve so this should be encouraging to you I run the study by dr di bisceglie and he was not too impressed by the studys result he know the author and say they are good investigator but he is not sure how significant the finding really are it is not really go to change anything he do I am sure there will be more study on this in the future and certainly well learn thing we do not know about hepatitis c but for now base on everything we know successful therapy would be a great thing for you and give a great prognosis in case you d like to see dr di bisceglies paper the reference is george sl et al clinical virologic histologic and biochemical outcome after successful hcv therapy a 5 year follow up of 150 patient hepatology march 2009,neutral,1

I take my mother to the er back in september for a pain in her low back they do a ct scan without contrast and incidentally find a mass in her colon upon a colonoscopy and endoscopy the follow week with her gi doctor it turn out to be ulcerative colitis diverticulosis erosive gastritis and barretts throat look back I specifically remember the conversation with the er doctor and that they also look to see if there was anything in her ovary she say there was nothing I do not know why they were look there but the indication was that they were look at everything on the ct to find the source of the pain anyway since see the gi doctor mom age 71 have been do everything to change her diet and deal with the digestive issue she bloat continue and she could not understand why so upon a schedule visit to her gi doctor this week he suggest a ct scan with barium sulfate and dye to be run at the hospital her liver look fine her colon seem okay but they find a large mass on her ovary and an adrenal mass we are to see a specialist in a neighboring town to have it remove I am very lose when it come to all of this everything mom have biopsie in her colon come back benign in september I am more than confuse that now we are find a large mass on her ovary yesterday she do say that it finally make sense to the feeling she is have of bloat the bloating have more of a feeling of a mass than any colon issue that she have we have no clue as to whether or not we are deal with ovarian cancer or colon cancer or what the specialist they are refer we to for this mass is a gynocologist not an oncologist gynocologist are they able to tell from this recent ct scan with barium if it is non cancerous mass in her ovary I do not really know where to start I want to help she and give she the good care that we can find I need to know what question to ask the gynocologist next week about this ovary mass I suppose we should also get a copy of the ct scan without contrast from the er back in september that at that time show nothing in the ovary and we of course will have the ct scan with barium and dye send to the gynocologist as well any input or understanding of ovarian cancer would be helpful and if any of this could all be connect if colon cancer that meet to the ovary then why all the benign biopsy back in september,negative,0
I find this very interesting and informative you should read it if you have a minute or two hepatitis c the disease no one talk about http www statesmanjournal com alan gustafson the statesman journal the disease is a silent epidemic that is get little public attention state official say ann shindo take to task the federal government for fail to confront hepatitis c in oregon and across the country remember when reagan do not say aid that is where we are with hep c say shindo the coordinator of viral hepatitis prevention for the oregon department of human service it is like 1988 pal and no one talk about hep c we have four time as many people nationwide live with hep c as hiv the virus that cause aid and we have no federal fund and state fund to address this epidemic the national center for disease control and prevention estimate that nearly 2 percent of all americans more than 4 million people are infect with hepatitis c it kill about 10 000 people per year each year there are anywhere from 20 000 to 30 000 new infection accord to the federal agency often call the silent epidemic hepatitis c can hibernate in the liver for decade often take 20 to 30 year before symptom surface shindo say an estimate 65 000 oregonian have hepatitis c and most of they do not know they are carry it for some it is a devastating potentially lethal time bomb the reality is someone may be clean and sober for 25 year then find out they have hep c and it dramatically change their life shindo say that is a very common story it can detrimentally impact people live to the point of lose their job lose their home and become homeless hepatitis c is spread mainly by exposure to infected blood the most common way it is transmit is by the sharing of needle by drug user which account for nearly 70 percent of new infection there is no vaccine for hepatitis c the virus was not identify until 1989 and testing was not available until 1992 for unknown reason the majority of people with hepatitis c would not develop severe symptom or need treatment but about one in five among the chronically infect will develop life threaten complication such as cancer cirrhosis and liver failure hepatitis c is the lead cause of liver transplant in the you s of the 18 000 americans wait for a transplant an estimate 40 percent to 60 percent have hepatitis c far complicate matter is the tricky business of treatment shindo say antiviral medication for hepatitis c is expensive often cause severe side effect and fail to eradicate the virus in about half of all patient treatment generally is not recommend for those without liver damage but regular monitoring is see as crucial for everyone with hepatitis c educate a poorly inform public about the harsh reality of hepatitis c pose an uphill fight shindo and other activist say it is a highly stigmatize disease shindo say people believe oh it is just drug injection drug user who get it in oregon city a nonprofit advocacy organization call the hepatitis c care ambassador program is try to pump up the volume about the silent epidemic as it stand now lorren sandt the program director say most people do not know what hepatitis c is because there is a lack of education and awareness also there is a shortage of testing that is available within the public health department shindo hold the news media partly to blame for widespread lack of know ledge about hepatitis c I think there is a lot of mythology and just cluelessness around this epidemic nationwide she say and part of the reason for that is there is been a lack of medium coverage and a lack of funding for folk like I to get out there and address all the high risk folk that need to be address shindo job is fund by the cdc which pay for hepatitis c coordinator in nearly all 50 state however state only get enough funding to cover the cost of the coordinator salary leave most coordinator with little or no budget for program and service such as testing and education I am the program shindo say we have no federal or state funding for hepatitis c screening or education we can not even afford billboard to put up the information regard who should be screen comment anybody,neutral,1

hello let I start off by say I have not take an endoscopy to determine if in fact I have gastritis but the general doc seem to think that may be what I have how shocking then when I read only 2 of every 10 000 people have it she put I on anti nausea med zofran and prilosec 20 mg I take the prilosec before my dinner any thought on that so here my introduction my year have been hell I start to get fatigue back in late april by july it have get bad so I run to urgent care for a cbc everything come back ok except for vit d deficient the blood test seem to rule out anemia now whether the fatigue have anything to do with my nausea stomach ache is still the million dollar question a couple sunday ago my fatigue hit I hard maybe hard than usual I was so tired and for the first time in forever I do not feel like eat dinner this was three day after I have get the result about an abnormality on my liver it turn out to be a benign hemangioma that was a week of hell constant anxiety stress sometimes tear so to repay I nature give I nausea three day later that quickly follow up with a stomach ache both can last for two hour or so but then rarely occur together here the kicker my extreme fatigue go away when the nausea and stomach ache settle in lately I have been dread cancer a lot of it have to do with the fact that I only recently get past a cancer scare but I am also naturally fearful of get any form of cancer in a way I am hope once I get the endoscopy and colonoscopy I get a gastritis diagnosis well than colon or stomach cancer ugh I lose 6 pound since the nausea creep int and that do not really happen the first week when I was not really change too much of my diet a typical day will be breakfast two slice of toast with thinly spread peanut butter 10 am chocolate boost lunch white bread with slice of deli turkey and maybe a small fiber bar dinner vegetable fruit shake with no high citrus fruit and a yogurt I am not sure what would have bring gastritis on but I have some theory in late 2011 early 2012 I was pop a lot of aleve in may 2012 I was tell I might have acid reflux when I find out that aleve could cause acid I cut it out I get an upper gi in september and they find nothing but I still have cut out the aleve I start take aleve again maybe in december through feb off and on but stop and replace with tylenol I still take alka seltzer from time to time and get drunk four time this year the gastritis symptom kick in three day after the liver scare have end a week lead up to that day and a night of drink the doc zero in on the drinking but there have been three day since the drinking and the flare up of symptom how do that make sense also I think maybe the stress of that early health scare cause this but I read that by stress most website refer to physical stress if stress is exacerbate this then I can only assume my stomach would not heal until I get an answer about whether I have cancer and I am put money aside for an endoscopy the last one I have was 1500 in cash up front I also get bloat even though I am light than I have been in more year than I can remember down to 168lbs at 5 11 I have twin who drink more than I do but he drink beer yet he do not have gastrtiis as far as I can tell but he never take too many otc pain pill and he eat a little well than I do it is been two week now and my symptom are the same hell I do not even know if the anti nausea med work because before the med I would get stomach ache and nausea at different time during the day before or after meal,negative,0
basically my wife have have ra symptom for about 4 month now she start plaquenil in may and more recently sulfasalazine in july she have 3 month complete of plaquenil and 1 month of sulfasalazine she have improve just a tad bit she have flare in her hand and foot sometimes upper back and shoulder about 3 4 time a week she go about 2 week with no flare back in july but that do not last long the doctor is suggest my wife get treatment for latent tb so my wife can start biologic the trouble is my wife have have elevate liver enzyme in the past and the treatment can bring they up once again and even cause hepatitis along with jaundice which my wife have have a past episode of but were read on how effective biologic can be but there a great amount of risk as well if you read online once you read lymphoma and cancer you immediately get scared the doctor is suggest this treatment even though we believe it is too early and we should see if the current medication will work 3 month of plaquenil can still be early and so can 1 month of sulfasalazine the doctor have give my wife 2 more month before she strongly recommend a biologic she feel that if these medication do not work biologic are the only answer can not do mtx because of liver enzyme,negative,0

a lot of symptom of the eye can reflect the condition of the liver for instance a red and itchy eye are cause by wind heat in the liver meridian if the liver blood is deficient the eye may feel dry and there may be blur vision or night blindness a what is interesting to note when research the medical reason for these visual disorder is that very often they stem from problem which would also effect the liver such as drug and chemical in take an excess of toxin within the body infection dietary endocrine and blood problem balance eye with the iris touch the upper and low lid reveal a balanced condition and sound judgment balanced eye come from a balanced view of life and sound dietary habit especially the consumption of whole cereal grain and fresh vegetable reflection on why people with sanpaku eye might suffer from severe depression memory loss severe mood swing and anger or may even end up with a criminal record a healthy balanced person would have the iris position right in the middle so that the white can be see only on either side some people however have the iris float so that the white can be see on the side as well as below or above the iris this condition is call sanpaku mean three white this is a sign of poor health spiritual type may display this when it is not unnatural for their constitutional type simply because they are relaxed and therefore the eye are inclined to be more relaxed stress affect the mind and optic nerve behind the eye which pull the muscle up and cause the eyeball to expand below the eye is a piece of bone and the eyeball rest on this bone so when the eyeball expand they expand upwards cause the iris to move up white space is reveal under the iris both the liver and gallbladder meridian pass through the frontal lobe which function in complex problem solve and judge the consequence of behaviour accord to research the eye can predict violent behavior the more pressure and stress a person is under the more it will show in the eye the more white around the iris the more dangerous that person can become this is true for most people stress affect the mind and optic nerve behind the eye which pull the muscle up and cause the eyeball to expand below the eye is a piece of bone and the eyeball rest on this bone so when the eyeball expand they expand upwards cause the iris to move up white space is reveal under the iris in more serious case where the three white are clearly visible this indicate very poor health and high level of stress in the body you may see this in cancer patient and other who are seriously ill as well as drug addict and alcoholic or even among young child who take excessive amount of sweet soft drink and chemicalise food it is how we look after our lifestyle and specifically where we invest our energy and how and with what we replenish our energy that will determine how effectively we eliminate sanpaku eye,neutral,1
I have not been on here in a long time that is because I m fee fantastic I can not believe after all those year of suffer I m ok today I never think it would happen and the doc are so ignorant it is so simple after my last surgery 4 in jan 2011 I was face a hyst and really being push in that direction by my doc I decide to start an all natural treatment on my own as a last ditch effort to save myself I have research everything on this disease every topic seem to open a new can of worm but I come up with several issue to tackle naturally I commit to 6 8 month because natural treatment take a lot long to take effect and healing happen in time I m glad I set this goal because for the first 5 month my symptom get much bad I almost give up do not think I could take it I now live virtually pain free and it have been 10 month since I start scale of 1 10 I use to experience level 8 every day multiple time a day I now feel maybe a 2 on just 3 4 day a month my finding in a nut shell and what I do endometriosis is an estrogen dominant disease endometriosis feed on estrogen if you have too much estrogen in your body it is create an environment to support more endo to grow your liver process out extra estrogen that you eat if your liver is congest it will not work as hard to remove the estrogen look up how to do a liver flush this is helpful I also take herb to support the liver but be careful do not take milk thistle that is know for help the liver it have estrogen in it I take chinese bitter which is a combination of bupleurum and gentian many patient with endo have low progesterone mine was really low progesterone help to balance estrogen and low it take a natural progesterone cream or oil that is apply to your skin be careful of what cream you choose some have estrogen and paraben in they avoid these because it defeat the purpose the good I find is progestelle I get it online you may feel bad for a few month before you see improvement also you should aviod xenoestrogens for a while before you start it avoid xenoestrogens they are chemical that mimic estrogen in the body the liver can not process they out as well and they dramatically impact estrogen dominance they are find in cosmetic lotion soaps paint plastic herbacide pesticide and more go natural it is not easy to find these product that are free of xenoestrogens the big one I focus on is avoid paraben in my personal care product as well as anything that contain lavender natural estrogen property I go through my house and got rid of every soap hair product and most of my makeup and buy natural product what you eat is process through the liver that s why the liver flush is so helpful to help the body get rid of estrogen that you eat the problem with the xenoestrogens is that they come into the body through the skin what go on your skin do not get process through the liver and go directly into your system seek out paraben free product and protect yourself if you are garden eat organic veggie vegetable are grow with many pesticide and unnatural fertilizer that contain xenoestrogens at least wash your veggie very well if you can not buy organic avoid commercial milk and dairy in the us we use the bovine growth hormone in our dairy cow nasty stuff not approve in any other developed nation helpful also to avoid commercially grow beef chicken and pork product they all contain hormone do not heat up food in plastic container this is the 1 for I I heat up my food in glass or ceramic bowel with a paper towel over it when you heat plastic it release the chemical of bpa into your food which is yet another xenoestrogen your basically eat poison the effect of environmental toxin and xenoestrogen are still under study in the mean time many serious disease are occur not just endo but breast cancer have been on the rise same estrogen dominance issue man are grow breast boy genital are not develop very young girl are get period while I was at my specialist office I hear they take a call ask if they could treat a pediatric patient that is 5 year old for endo even more surprising was the answer that the young they have treat is 12 please research it for yourself take back control of your life and your health I love you all so much and do not want to see you suffer anymore this disease almost kill I and I know it is still kill all of you awhhh now I m cry,positive,2

ii recently see a cartoon refer to a report that people who drink alcohol live long than those who do not it occur to I that the majority of the people in the usa drink and the subject in the study were probably select from the population base on whether they drink or not therefore the subject who drink were in some sense more representative of the general population look up the original report http that is oxfordjournals org content 34 1 199 short I learn this result in this elderly population male british doctor age 48a 78 year with mean alcohol consumption per drinker of 2 to 3 unit per day the cause of death that are already know to be augmentable by alcohol account for only 5 of the death 1 liver disease 2 cancer of the mouth pharynx larynx or oesophagus and 2 external cause of death and were significantly elevate only among man consume 2 unit day vascular disease and respiratory disease account for more than half of all the death and were both significantly less common among current than among non drinker hence overall mortality was also significantly low relative risk rr 0 81 ci 0 76a 0 87 p 0 001 the non drinker however include the ex drinker some of whom may have stop recently because of illness and during the last decade of the study 1991a 2001 overall mortality was significantly high in the few ex drinker who have been current drinker in 1978 than in the never drinker or current drinker to avoid bias these 239 ex drinker were consider together with the 6271 current drinker and compare with the 750 man who have been non drinker in both questionnaire another uk study http jech bmj com content 62 10 905 abstract find this result a significant benefit of moderate drinking compare with abstinence or heavy drinking was find among those with poor health behaviour little exercise poor diet and smoker no additional benefit from alcohol was find among those with the healthy behaviour profile a a 3 hour of vigorous exercise per week daily fruit or vegetable consumption and non smoker note the emphasis is mine now those alive in the general population are tautologically speak survivor and with certain exception such as war society are organize to defend their norm in part by decrease the mortality of the normal individual who comprise they so whenever a study is perform compare the mortality of a normal group to a somehow deviant group I wonder whether there will be a statistical bias favor the normal group for example consider the characteristic of drive a car compare the mortality of those who drive car with those who do not I would not be surprised to learn that drive a car in develop country is associate with a decrease mortality risk while drive a car in undeveloped country would be associate with an increase mortality risk do this a ring any bell for anyone,neutral,1

there is a lot of info in this one but I think it was a very good article and want to share with you many people are help by chemo and radiation and this is not mean to downplay the benefit from they if dietary and lifestyle change can help prevent the multilication of cancer cell easy medication for I to swallow johns hopkins update this is an extremely good article everyone should read it after year of tell people chemotherapy is the only way to try try being the key word to eliminate cancer johns hopkins is finally start to tell you there is an alternative way cancer update from johns hopkins 1 every person have cancer cell in the body these cancer cell do not show up in the standard test until they have multiply to a few billion when doctor tell cancer patient that there are no more cancer cell in their body after treatment it just mean the test are unable to detect the cancer cell because they have not reach the detectable size 2 cancer cell occur between 6 to more than 10 time in a person lifetime 3 when the person immune system is strong the cancer cell will be destroy and prevent from multiply and form tumor 4 when a person have cancer it indicate the person have nutritional deficiency these could be due to genetic but also to environmental food and lifestyle factor 5 to overcome the multiple nutritional deficiency change diet to eat more adequately and healthy 4 5 time day and by include supplement will strengthen the immune system 6 chemotherapy involve poison the rapidly grow cancer cell and also destroy rapidly grow healthy cell in the bone marrow gastrointestinal tract and so on and can cause organ damage like liver kidney heart lung and so on 7 radiation while destroy cancer cell also burn scar and damage healthy cell tissue and organ 8 initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size however prolong use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction 9 when the body have too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromise or destroy hence the person can succumb to various kind of infection and complication 10 chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cell to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy surgery can also cause cancer cell to spread to other site 11 an effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cell by not feed it with the food it need to multiply cancer cell feed on a sugar substitute like nutrasweet equal spoonful and so on are make with aspartame and it is harmful a well natural substitute would be manuka honey or molasse but only in very small amount table salt have a chemical add to make it white in color well alternative is braggs aminos or sea salt b milk cause the body to produce mucus especially in the gastro intestinal tract cancer feed on mucus by cut off milk and substitute with unsweetened soy milk cancer cell are being starve c cancer cell thrive in an acid environment a meat base diet is acidic and it is good to eat fish and a little other meat like chicken meat also contain livestock antibiotic growth hormone and parasite which are all harmful especially to people with cancer d a diet make of 80 fresh vegetable and juice whole grain seed nuts and a little fruit help put the body into an alkaline environment about 20 can be from cook food include bean fresh vegetable juice provide live enzyme that are easily absorb and reach down to cellular level within 15 minute to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cell to obtain live enzyme for build healthy cell try and drink fresh vegetable juice most vegetable include be an sprout and eat some raw vegetable 2 or 3 time a day enzyme are destroy at temperature of 104 degree f 40 degree c e avoid coffee tea and chocolate which have high caffeine green tea is a well alternative and have cancer fighting property water well to drink purified water or filter to avoid know toxin and heavy metal in tap water distil water is acidic avoid it 12 meat protein is difficult to digest and require a lot of digestive enzyme undigested meat remain in the intestine become putrefied and lead to more toxic buildup 13 cancer cell wall have a tough protein cover by refrain from or eat less meat it free more enzyme to attack the protein wall of cancer cell and allow the bodys killer cell to destroy the cancer cell 14 some supplement build up the immune system ip6 flor ssence essiac anti oxidant vitamin mineral efas and so on to enable the body own killer cell to destroy cancer cell other supplement like vitamin e are know to cause apoptosis or program cell death the bodys normal method of dispose of damage unwanted or unneeded cell 15 cancer is a disease of the mind body and spirit a proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor anger un forgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit learn to relax and enjoy life 16 cancer cell can not thrive in an oxygenate environment exercise daily and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level oxygen therapy is another mean employ to destroy cancer cell 1 no plastic container in micro 2 no water bottle in freezer 3 no plastic wrap in microwave johns hopkins have recently send this out in its newsletter this information is being circulate at walter reed army medical center as well dioxin chemical cause cancer especially breast cancer dioxin are highly poisonous to the cell of our body do not freeze your plastic bottle with water in they as this release dioxin from the plastic recently dr edward fujimoto wellness program manager at castle hospital was on a tv program to explain this health hazard he talk about dioxin and how bad they are for we he say that we should not be heat our food in the microwave use plastic container this especially apply to food that contain fat he say that the combination of fat high heat and plastic release dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cell of the body instead he recommend use glass such as corn ware pyrex or ceramic container for heating food you get the same result only without the dioxin so such thing as tv dinner instant raman and soup and so on should be remove from the container and heat in something else paper is not bad but you do not know what is in the paper it is just safe to use temper glass corning ware and so on he remind we that a while ago some of the fast food restaurant move away from the foam container to paper the dioxin problem is one of the reason please share this with your whole email list also he point out that plastic wrap such as saran is just as dangerous when place over food to be cook in the microwave as the food is nuke the high heat cause poisonous toxin to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food cover food with a paper towel instead this is an article that should be send to anyone important in your life,neutral,1

just want to share a post from friend to the end founder lesa excellent article from john hopkins university that I want to share with you my friend at over the fence lesa cancer post on 07 20 11 03 38 am there is a lot of info in this one but I think it was a very good article and want to share with you many people are help by chemo and radiation and this is not mean to downplay the benefit from they if dietary and lifestyle change can help prevent the multilication of cancer cell easy medication for I to swallow johns hopkins update this is an extremely good article everyone should read it after year of tell people chemotherapy is the only way to try try being the key word to eliminate cancer johns hopkins is finally start to tell you there is an alternative way cancer update from johns hopkins 1 every person have cancer cell in the body these cancer cell do not show up in the standard test until they have multiply to a few billion when doctor tell cancer patient that there are no more cancer cell in their body after treatment it just mean the test are unable to detect the cancer cell because they have not reach the detectable size 2 cancer cell occur between 6 to more than 10 time in a person lifetime 3 when the person immune system is strong the cancer cell will be destroy and prevent from multiply and form tumor 4 when a person have cancer it indicate the person have nutritional deficiency these could be due to genetic but also to environmental food and lifestyle factor 5 to overcome the multiple nutritional deficiency change diet to eat more adequately and healthy 4 5 time day and by include supplement will strengthen the immune system 6 chemotherapy involve poison the rapidly grow cancer cell and also destroy rapidly grow healthy cell in the bone marrow gastrointestinal tract and so on and can cause organ damage like liver kidney heart lung and so on 7 radiation while destroy cancer cell also burn scar and damage healthy cell tissue and organ 8 initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size however prolong use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction 9 when the body have too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromise or destroy hence the person can succumb to various kind of infection and complication 10 chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cell to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy surgery can also cause cancer cell to spread to other site 11 an effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cell by not feed it with the food it need to multiply cancer cell feed on a sugar substitute like nutrasweet equal spoonful and so on are make with aspartame and it is harmful a well natural substitute would be manuka honey or molasse but only in very small amount table salt have a chemical add to make it white in color well alternative is braggs aminos or sea salt b milk cause the body to produce mucus especially in the gastro intestinal tract cancer feed on mucus by cut off milk and substitute with unsweetened soy milk cancer cell are being starve c cancer cell thrive in an acid environment a meat base diet is acidic and it is good to eat fish and a little other meat like chicken meat also contain livestock antibiotic growth hormone and parasite which are all harmful especially to people with cancer d a diet make of 80 fresh vegetable and juice whole grain seed nuts and a little fruit help put the body into an alkaline environment about 20 can be from cook food include bean fresh vegetable juice provide live enzyme that are easily absorb and reach down to cellular level within 15 minute to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cell to obtain live enzyme for build healthy cell try and drink fresh vegetable juice most vegetable include be an sprout and eat some raw vegetable 2 or 3 time a day enzyme are destroy at temperature of 104 degree f 40 degree c e avoid coffee tea and chocolate which have high caffeine green tea is a well alternative and have cancer fighting property water well to drink purified water or filter to avoid know toxin and heavy metal in tap water distil water is acidic avoid it 12 meat protein is difficult to digest and require a lot of digestive enzyme undigested meat remain in the intestine become putrefied and lead to more toxic buildup 13 cancer cell wall have a tough protein cover by refrain from or eat less meat it free more enzyme to attack the protein wall of cancer cell and allow the bodys killer cell to destroy the cancer cell 14 some supplement build up the immune system ip6 flor ssence essiac anti oxidant vitamin mineral efas and so on to enable the body own killer cell to destroy cancer cell other supplement like vitamin e are know to cause apoptosis or program cell death the bodys normal method of dispose of damage unwanted or unneeded cell 15 cancer is a disease of the mind body and spirit a proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor anger un forgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit learn to relax and enjoy life 16 cancer cell can not thrive in an oxygenate environment exercise daily and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level oxygen therapy is another mean employ to destroy cancer cell 1 no plastic container in micro 2 no water bottle in freezer 3 no plastic wrap in microwave johns hopkins have recently send this out in its newsletter this information is being circulate at walter reed army medical center as well dioxin chemical cause cancer especially breast cancer dioxin are highly poisonous to the cell of our body do not freeze your plastic bottle with water in they as this release dioxin from the plastic recently dr edward fujimoto wellness program manager at castle hospital was on a tv program to explain this health hazard he talk about dioxin and how bad they are for we he say that we should not be heat our food in the microwave use plastic container this especially apply to food that contain fat he say that the combination of fat high heat and plastic release dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cell of the body instead he recommend use glass such as corn ware pyrex or ceramic container for heating food you get the same result only without the dioxin so such thing as tv dinner instant raman and soup and so on should be remove from the container and heat in something else paper is not bad but you do not know what is in the paper it is just safe to use temper glass corning ware and so on he remind we that a while ago some of the fast food restaurant move away from the foam container to paper the dioxin problem is one of the reason please share this with your whole email list also he point out that plastic wrap such as saran is just as dangerous when place over food to be cook in the microwave as the food is nuke the high heat cause poisonous toxin to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food cover food with a paper towel instead this is an article that should be send to anyone important in your life lesa anytime you encounter an article that is this important please share it with we here at over the fence as I have do here and with any of your own friend

this is from the book herb for hepatitis c and the liver by stephen buhner virologist have discover that when a balanced symbiotic virus is disturb it tend to jump specie in order to survive there are some 4000 mammal specie on the earth and 750 000 insect specie of the mammal specie 2000 are rodent and 1000 are bat that is 3 4 of the mammal in two family most virus that jump specie and infect people come from rodent bat and primate this is truly interesting there is a squirrel monkey in the amazon who live in peace with a herpe virus it do not bother the monkey although it live in the monkey even if the monkey immune system is artificially suppress the virus will cause it no harm this virus is in the fece and urine of this monkey so it is liberally sprinkle everywhere in their territory now if another compete monkey such as the mormoset try to invade squirrel monkey territory the virus jump immediately the marmoset monkey is infect and quickly develop lymph cancer and die epstein barr come from rodent measle from wild cattle smallpox from mouse the aids virus and other emerge virus are survive the distruction of the rain forest becuse they can mutate fast than the change in their environment modern medicine is partially to blame for this epidemic with blood transfusion needle surgery and use monkey for cruel experiment all of which allow the transmission of disease into human then there was the immunization program carry out in africa between 1955 and 1975 many of the vaccine were make by use kidney cell from monkey who have a symbiotic relationship with hiv this insert the virus into thousand of human as they were vaccinate and when they have sex they pass it along some african country will lose half their population everyone between the age of 20 and 45 then there is the influence of human culture measle for instance require a large city to remain viable when people begin live in city disease such as the plague and smallpox spread like wildfire now we have international travel with airplane and all place on earth are within 24 hour of each other other factor include technological medicine monocropping of plant and animal animal factory and stockyard life was never mean to live in such crowded and foul condition from herb for hepatitis c and the liver by stephen buhner for those who can not do tx or for whom tx is not an option or for those for whom tx have fail there is hope if we can see this virus as an ally not an enemy perhaps we can see a way to live with it in harmony when virus first enter a new specie they are very aggressive and try to kill off the one they have invade but that which do not kill we make we strong and virus are a part of our ecosystem perhaps we can delve deeply into the implication here and see that hcv is our ally if we can learn to live in harmony with it we will be strong for it and it can no long hurt we we can not kill off virus this have been know for a long time there is no cure for the common cold which is cause by a virus some people get cold all the time and other never do yet the virus is everywhere so what make the difference the immune system keep the immune system strong and virus can not destroy you and there is a group for learn natural way http dailystrength org group alternative treatment for hep c it is not in the main group it is a member group healthy recipe for healthy body nutritional support for the liver this group is for people with hep c who are not on treatment and want to improve their health and take it easy on their liver we can discuss any and all alternative option maybe someday it will be upgrade to a ds group who know love to all makiah,neutral,1
see this on facebook and was blow away by it I once know a woman who start smoke when she was 15 year old as time go on and the year pass by she got marry and have 3 beautifiul and adorable child emma diana and anthony as they grow their affection admiration and love for their mommy grow so strong you almost have to seperate they with a crow bar because they were all inseperable as the child get old they beg their mommy to stop smoke they tell she they were worried about her health and even bring home pamphlet on the effect that smoking have on a person when she was 36 year old she was diagnose with stage 4 lung cancer and within one month the cancer have spread to her liver and into her brain sadly after 2 month of fight she succumb to her disease and pass away at the funeral all you could hear was people cry and talk about how wonderful of a person she was they speak of cancer and could not believe that she of all people get it she was not suppose to die because she have so much life in front of her sadness and tear spread over the graveyard like a dark fog in the early morning as they lower her casket into the ground the whole crowd console one another and not one of they speak about her smoking or if it was the cause of her demise compassion and sympathy rule everyone heart and as the funeral was come to an end a dear friend of the woman say cancer take another great person we will all miss she I once know a man who start drink alcohol and do drug at the age of 15 as time go on he marry a beautiful woman and have three wonderful child alex samantha and katherine and boy do he love they he would make their game drive they to school and was a great daddy to they all but as time go on his addiction grow strong and strong his excess drinking was public knowledge but his drug addiction was a dirty little secret he would drink a lot and his kid beg he to stop but he could not as the month turn into year his addiction were now out of control and one beautiful sunday morning his son alex walk in his room with two baseball glove to play catch with his daddy only to find he dead and with a needle stick out of his before midday you could hear alex scream from a mile away and as the other kid come in and see their daddy dead from drug tear and scream fill the room and their life have just severely change for the bad at the funeral the three kid hear people talk about their daddy their hero and how he was so stupid and how he have a choice to quit and do not they hear people say how the world just lose another junkie and how he do not have to live that way as the casket was lower into the ground someone was hear say if he was strong and just quit use drug he would be alive for his family he was so selfish do drug and leave his child without a daddy now we all know that these two scenerio are ficticious event but the stigma associate with they is real nobody know unless they have been through it what an addict go through we want to stop but like smoking find it very hard to do when an addict die it was always his or her fault and they could have stop if they want to but if a smoker die of cancer or someone die of diabetes because they were an overeater all their life it is never their fault and the compassion for their death far outweigh the death of the addict we need to stop this stigma we need to educate people on addiction and we need to spread awareness everywhere yes addiction is a disease and it is a killer,neutral,1

holkira pak result in genotype 1a with severe liver injury holkira pak effectiveness in people with kidney dysfunction holkira pak effectiveness in people with liver transplantation ii hiv and transplantation hiv and liver transplant in british columbia i hepatitis c virus about some term svr12 vs svr24 after a person have successfully complete treatment for hepatitis c virus hcv there is a period when hcv viral load in the blood is undetectable if this period of undetectability last for 12 consecutive week after the cessation of treatment it is call a sustained virological response write as svr12 this period usually then lead to a further 12 consecutive week of undetectable hcv for a total of 24 week of undetectability since treatment cessation write as svr24 historically a person is consider cure when they have achieve svr24 they are consider cure however many doctor who have have experience with test the new all oral regimen of anti hcv drug in clinical trial generally consider their patient cure if they have achieve svr12 svr link to long survival and other benefit lead specialist who study the liver and gastrointestinal tract have been conduct research to explore the many benefit of hcv treatment and cure svr24 they collect health relate information from participant with and without severe hcv related liver injury the 10 year survival rate of participant with an svr was not significantly different from the survival rate of hcv negative dutch people of the same age and gender over the same period of time thus even for people with severe liver injury get an svr can lead to broadly similar rate of survival as hcv negative people issue with emerge therapy for hcv in canada and other high income country most people can not afford to pay for the high cost of treat and manage catastrophic illness such as hiv hcv and cancer in response to this situation regional health authority have establish formularieslist of drug that are subsidize by the state until a drug is list on the formulary most patient can not get access to it the formulary negotiate with pharmaceutical company about the cost of their drug this back and forth between the formulary and company take time the cost of the new hep c treatment will be high and it is not clear when they will be on every formulary formulary can also put restriction on who can get their list medicine

relatively well to the new and powerful anti hcv drug such as holkira pak and harvoni past experience with boceprevir and telaprevir suggest that strain of genotype 1a are hard to treat we now focus on clinical trial result from participant with genotype 1a who were treat with holkira pak with and without ribavirin these result particularly among participant who receive ribavirin are very promising holkira pak result in genotype 1a with severe liver injury abbvie researcher analyse datum from participant with genotype 1a with severe liver injury who use holkira pak and ribavirin and find generally favourable result holkira pak effectiveness in people with kidney dysfunction people with chronic hepatitis c virus hcv infection can also develop kidney injury and dysfunction historically people with hcv who also have kidney dysfunction have not respond well to combination therapy with peginterferon and ribavirin prior to testing holkira pak in hcv positive people with kidney dysfunction abbvie conduct a study to assess the safety and effectiveness of two regimen in hcv negative people who have kidney dysfunction holkira pak effectiveness in people with liver transplantation in case of severe liver injury due to hepatitis c virus hcv infection doctor may refer patient to a transplant centre however in case where patient are transplant with a healthy liver hcv generally recur after this procedure furthermore the transplanted liver may become injure because of the recurrence of hcv in an ongoing phase ii clinical trial call coral 1 researcher are assess

hello my dad was recently diagnose with advanced pc and we are conflict about whether to give he gemzar or not my dad is 87 year old and although is he is in great shape for his age besides the cancer of course we do not want his last month of life to be sick from chemo my mother die from chemotoxicity at age 56 from her breast cancer treatment and after go through that experience we are very reluctant to use any type of chemotherapy I am 29 year old and hate the thought of lose both my parent to such a horrible disease but more than anything I do not want my dad to suffer more than he have to my dad was already diagnose with two form lymphoma a year ago and we opt to only treat with rituxin a much milder antibody vs chemotherapy and he respond well to it however this new cancer have pop up and we face the same dilemma all over again the dr are push to have my dad treat with gemzar and possibly radiation but we do not really see the point in give he chemo if it is not go to cure he and will only make he sicker they say the side effect of gemzar are relatively mild and well tolerate and should actually help his abdominal pain which is quite severe he is on hydrocodone but with his age and all we are worried it will just make he sicker even fast have my mom not receive chemo she would have live at least several more year instead of go through the pain of chemotherapy and dying of liver failure from it my sister who just recently finish her residency as a dr is completely against chemo of any kind but I am have a hard time accept the just let it be approach I was the one who push he have the rituxin treatment for his lymphoma and although he tolerate quite well it still was not a completely pleasant experience and though he respond well to it it seem it was all for nothing since this pc surface instead anyway the point of this long ramble is just to get advice on what exactly to expect from gemzar what are the real side effect and do it really help with pain or will it just make my father sicker we are not look for life extension just improve quality of life any suggestion please thank you,negative,0

this is a post that I recently make in daily strength cirrhosis support group while I have not yet been diagnose as have cirrhosis I strongly suspect at a minimum I have alcoholic liver disease I do not expect to get much of a response to this post because for most people it may either be too embarrassing or too private of a matter to talk about year of drinking may have damage my body in way I may never know or will one day soon find out however there are other physical sign and symptom that appear to be the direct result of the manner I choose to deal with anxiety and stress for more than 15 year one example of this is that I appear to have some sort of malabsorption disorder with my stool being very light in color very very light brown and with many of my bowel movement that float due to the fat content my bowel movement also have the same smell that I associate with either bile or stomach acid I have occasionally taste in my mouth in the middle of the night after go to bed too early after eat a meal in the come month I plan to have my stool test for its fat content and ph level which is something that many gastroenterologist do not do anymore because of the expense involve I also plan to get test for any vitamin deficiency I may have a recent ct scan and laboratory work suggest that I am not deal with pancreatitis nor pancreatic cancer for the time being however this do not necessarily rule out that these symptom are not due to some type of pancreatic enzyme deficiency I am include a valuable link to an article about malaborption disorder which provide numerous scenario that can lead to fatty stool http www helium com item 1524484 cause of intestinal malabsorption one of the many sign and symptom of list on numerous information website about alcoholic liver disease describe patient have either light colored pale white or gray stool while pale stool is often list as a symptom for alcoholic liver disease it appear that most clinician do not rely too heavily on it as a symptom in its diagnosis because what people eat can also play a significant role in both the color and fat content of stool in the meantime whether you have been officially diagnose or not with have alcoholic liver disease are any of you willing to talk about what color your stool was before you stop drink and whether it was fatty do it float or not and for those who believe alcohol was the direct or indirect cause of any stool change have any of these symptom revolve from abstain from alcohol thank you in advance to those who are willing to share this very personal information which may be embarrassing to talk about jeff by the way this friday october 23rd will mark two month of I being completely sober as I recently share in daily strength cirrhosis support group have I know how daily drink even amount as little as 3 to 4 drink a day can damage the human body I would have never resort to this as my principal cope strategy in attempt to manage stress and anxiety for so many year,negative,0

hi everyone I have not post for a few week on the site a positive symptom of get back to normal now play tennis golf go to the gym and so on albeit at a much low level of fitness to that prior to the pes 4 month ago I go to the hospital yesterday for a consultation about possible investigation for the cause of my unprovoked pe the doctor say that it is entirely up to I whether or not I choose to have any investigative work do I am in the uk and scan are not do routinely in order to eradicate the possibility of underlying malignancy he say that in light of the fact that I have no compelling risk factor prior to the pe he would be prepare to refer I for a ct scan of my abdomen which would check out my bowel pancreatic kidney liver and stomach down side is the as yet very unclear sense of the potentially carcinogenic effect of a third ct scan within as many month alongside 5 x ray the other down side is that the scan may show up lump abnomalitie which are not cancerous and which exist in all of our body quite harmlessly these will end up being monitor over time to check for change and could create undue stress positive side is that I will know what is go on inside I he say that I have three choice do nothing and carry on with my life have the ct scan once I am off of warfarin june 14th after the test for blood disorder have come back clear assume that they do if they copme back positive then no need for a ct scan or go for the ct scan referral now rather than wait I have go for the final option since I am naturally quite an anxious person and I do not want to think that every upset stomach that I get could be the onset of cancerous symptom however I could ring he to change my mind I would really appreciate anyone else experience or thought even to the point of what would you do in the same situation thank you in advance,neutral,1
I see my prime minister doctor yesterday I let he know that the percocet I have been on for about 7 month is barely work anymore this is a such a disappointment because it do not give I and side effect and use to work well I understand that I will build up a tolerance so I am not surprised he put I on morphine sulphate which is probably good because I have been on either vicoden or percocet for 13 month and my liver could use a break from the acetaminophen I think I was go to a strong med but it do not really work well I try two at a time and it was well but I can not keep do that or I will be out way too soon am I wrong that morphine sulphate should be strong than percocet if so why do not it cut the pain at the prescribed dose do I simply need a large dose I live about three hour from my pain doctor and express my concern about switch med I ask he what to do if the new med do not work out and I can not get back right away I am just start to deal with breast cancer and will be do a lot with that locally start soon he say to call the office and let he know he could mail something in to my clinic if I can not make that long trip I think he is being extra kind because of the cancer situation which is a brand new diagnosis so worried about call he to tell he that what he prescribe do not seem strong enough it seem it should be any input,negative,0

I find this on the net there is also a list of benefit just as long at the bottom of the post for both side the link is http www ovarian cyst pcos com glucophage metformin pcos html the link is to a polycystic ovarian cite but the conprehensive info on metformin was good there have been a lot of discussion lately so I just think I would post some fact side effect of metformin glucophage malaise 10 25 of woman who take glucophage just do not feel well they experience a general malaise fatigue and occasional achiness that last for vary length of time malaise a signal for the physician to closely monitor body system affect by metformin include liver kidney and gi tract a blood count should be take from time to time because metformin can induce b vitamin insufficiency that can lead to a form of anemia gi disturbance about one third of woman on metformin experience gastrointestinal disturbance include nausea occasional vomiting and loose more frequent bowel movement or diarrhea this problem occur more often after meal rich in fat or sugar the symptom lessen over time so if you can tolerate the gi upset for a few week it may go away some woman have find it help to start with a very low dose and gradually increase it vitamin b12 malabsorption of patient who take this drug 10 30 show evidence of reduce vitamin b12 absorption a substance form in the stomach call intrinsic factor combine with b12 so that it can be transfer into the blood metformin interfere with the ability of your cell to absorb this intrinsic factor vitamin b12 complex 12 over the long term vitamin b12 insufficiency is a significant health risk b12 is essential to the proper growth and function of every cell in your body it is require for synthesis of dna and for many crucial biochemical function there is also a link between b12 insufficiency and cardiovascular disease at least one study raise the concern that even if metformin is withdraw the vitamin b12 malabsorption may continue in some people 13 the apparent cause is continue problem with availability of intrinsic factor which is require for b12 absorption elevate homocysteine people who take glucophage tend to have high homocysteine level 14 woman with pcos also tend to have elevate homocysteine 15 homocysteine is an amino acid in the blood a normal amount is ok but an elevated level mean that your metabolic process are not work properly elevate homocysteine is associate with coronary artery disease heart attack chronic fatigue fibromyalgia 16 cognitive impairment 17 and cervical cancer 18 vitamin b12 along with vitamin b6 and folic acid another b vitamin is responsible for metabolize homocysteine into less potentially harmful substance 19 therefore when metformin reduce absorption of vitamin b12 you lose one of the nutrient need to reduce homocysteine and thus reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease elevate homocysteine pregnancy complication pre eclampsia is a complication of pregnancy characterize by increase blood pressure and edema if leave untreated pre ecampsia can lead to eclampsia a serious condition that put you and your baby at risk in a study conduct at the center for perinatal study at swedish medical center in seattle a second trimester elevation of homocysteine was associate with a 3 2 fold increase risk of pre eclampsia 20 the dept of obstetric and gynecology nijmegen the netherlands review a series of study on the linkage between elevated homocysteine and early pregnancy loss they conclude that high homocysteine level are a risk factor for recurrent early pregnancy loss 21 ovarian follicular fluid contain detectable amount of homocysteine along with b12 b6 and folic acid the follicular fluid provide nourishment to the egg by facilitate transport of nutrient from blood plasma high level of homocysteine as well as an insufficiency of b vitamin may adversely influence the process of fertilization and early fetal development 22 note we are suggest that elevate homocysteine not metformin itself could contribute to pregnancy complication in some woman however metformin do contribute to increase homocysteine level pregnancy warn many woman use metformin in their pursuit of a successful pregnancy however glucophage is a category b drug mean its safety for use while pregnant have not been establish it is find in breast milk so it is not advisable to breast feed while take glucophage anemia by prevent optimal absorption of vitamin b12 and folic acid metformin could induce or contribute to megaloblastic anemia 23 megaloblastic anemia occur when your bone marrow do not have enough b vitamin to manufacture red blood cell your bone marrow then release immature and dysfunctional red blood cell into circulation although anemia is not common among people take metformin it remain a risk for those whose b12 and folic acid level were already low when metformin therapy was start liver or kidney problem if you have liver or kidney problem of any kind metformin could pose a problem because it alter liver function and is excrete through the kidney a healthy liver and kidney will improve your outcome with metformin liver and kidney function should be assess before start metformin and rechecke at least once a year while take it a blood chemistry screen and a complete blood count will tell your physician how well your system is do with this drug multiple medication you may be at risk for health problem or symptom if you take metformin in addition to other medication the more drug you take and the high the dosage the great the probability there will be some kind of interaction between the drug or some unexpected effect from the combine drug the effect of combine drug also depend on the state of your health your genetic uniqueness and your diet and lifestyle always consult with your doctor if you add or change any medication or if you develop any symptom hair loss metformin may contribute to male pattern hair loss at the temple and top of head although there is nothing in the medical literature to support this linkage some woman have report that hair loss was make bad by metformin 24 lactic acidosis about 3 of every 100 000 people who take metformin will develop a medical emergency call lactic acidosis lactic acid is a metabolic byproduct that can become toxic if it build up fast than it is neutralized lactic acidosis is most likely to occur in people who with diabetes kidney or liver disease multiple medication dehydration or severe chronic stress lactic acidosis can gradually build up symptom to watch for include a need to breathe deeply and more rapidly a slow irregular pulse a feeling of weakness muscle pain sleepiness and a sense of feel very sick treatment require intravenous administration of sodium bicarbonate contact your doctor or go immediately to a hospital emergency room if you have these symptom bile abnormality bile is produce by the liver store in the gallbladder and secrete into the intestine in order to absorb fat into the bloodstream one possible reason for the gi problem is that metformin reduce normal reabsorption of bile from the intestine back into the bloodstream which cause elevated bile salt concentration in the colon 25 most study suggest that colonic bile salt cause free radical damage to dna and may contribute to colon cancer 26 27 in addition bile acid may stimulate cell in the colon to produce leukotriene before ltb4 a highly inflammatory substance ltb4 would be a contributor to any intestinal inflammatory condition 28 byproduct of bacterial action on bile salt may lead to intestinal cell damage and absorption of foreign molecule such as food or bacteria particle into the bloodstream possibly cause allergy and other immune response 29 moreover many pco woman have switch to a high protein diet if that protein consist of beef and other meat bile acid concentration in the intestine is increase 30 a diet high in meat is also link to a high risk of colon cancer benefit of metformin glucophage lowering of insulin testosterone and glucose level quite a number of study indicate glucophage reduce insulin testosterone and glucose level which reduce acne hirsutism abdominal obesity amenorrhea and other symptom in one study conduct at virginia commonwealth university 24 obese pcos woman were give metformin or placebo the 11 woman who receive the metformin experience a reduction in insulin level which slow the activity of an enzyme in the ovary that stimulate excess production of testosterone as a result testosterone level also drop 3 glucophage appear to do the same for non obese pcos woman accord to a study from the university of medical science in poznan poland thirty nine pco woman were give glucophage for 12 week they have improvement in insulin testosterone hirsutism and acne 4 prevention or delay of onset of diabetes glucophage may help to prevent diabete accord to a study at george washington university 5 in this study 3 234 non diabetic with elevated blood glucose were give metformin placebo or lifestyle recommendation the incidence of diabetes in the metformin group was 31 less than in the placebo group restoration of normal menstrual cycle a number of study have show that menstruation can be restore in many woman with pcos for example in a study at jewish hospital in cincinnati 43 woman who were not have period take glucophage and 39 of they resume normal mense 6 in another study at jewish hospital 11 teenage girl with pco were put on metformin and a high protein low carbohydrate diet ten of the 11 girl resume regular period 7 improved chance of pregnancy a study of 48 woman with pcos and infertility was conduct at the baylor college of medicine they were first give metformin and 19 of they resume menstruate and show indication of ovulation but 10 require clomiphene a fertility drug in addition to metformin in order to show evidence of ovulation twenty woman of the 48 42 become pregnant however 7 of the 20 miscarry 8 reduce risk of miscarriage another aspect of pcos related infertility is the tendency for repeat miscarriage a study from the hospital de clinicas caraca in venezuela look at 65 woman who receive glucophage during their pregnancy vs 31 who do not the early pregnancy first trimester loss rate in the metformin group was 8 8 as compare to a 41 9 loss in the untreated group of those woman who previously have miscarry 11 1 of the metformin group miscarry again while 58 3 of the untreated group again miscarry 9 reduced risk of gestational diabete in another study at jewish hospital in cincinatti gestational diabetes risk was evaluate in two group of pcos woman the first group was 33 non diabletic woman who have conceive while take metformin or take it during their pregnancy this group was compare to a group of 39 pco woman who do not take it only 3 of the metformin group develop gestational diabetes as compare to 31 in the non

albumin is pretty amazing stuff make up of hundred of amino acid albumin undertake a multitude of the liver function while patrol the body little wonder that interference in albumin production is such an important factor in liver disease the second piece of this article albumin what you do not know can kill you is particularly interesting to I anyway the more we know about this awful disease the well chance we have of fight it in my humble opinion albumin definition albumin is a protein manufacture by the liver the most abundant protein component of blood produce primarily in the liver albumin help to keep the fluid portion of blood within the vessel and help transport drug and other substance by way of the bloodstream low level of albumin in the blood or its presence in urine may signal edema the accumulation of fluid as in pedal edema in the ankle or pulmonary edema in the lung which may be symptom of congestive heart failure kidney or liver disease what do albumin do albumin perform many function include maintain the osmotic pressure that cause fluid to remain within the blood stream instead of leak out into the tissue what disease cause albumin to be too low liver disease kidney disease and malnutrition are the major cause of low albumin a diseased liver produce insufficient albumin diseased kidney sometimes lose large amount of albumin into the urine fast than the liver can produce it this is term nephrotic syndrome in malnutrition there is not enough protein in the patient diet for the liver to make new albumin from what is a normal level of albumin the normal value depend on the laboratory run the test most lab consider roughly 3 5 to 5 gram per deciliter to be normal what happen if it get too low in a healthy person with normal nutrition the liver will simply manufacture more and the level will normalize if albumin get very low swelling can occur in the ankle edema and fluid can begin to accumulate in the abdomen ascite and in the lung pulmonary edema how can you make the albumin high the person must return to health therefore the underlying disorder must be correct if the disorder is cirrhosis of the liver the only way to correct low albumin is generally to have a liver transplant why do albumin fluctuate so much albumin level are also dependant on the state of hydration of the body a person that is deficient of water dry because of dehydration will have an artificially low albumin level this return to normal when the dehydration is correct albumin fluctuate so widely because it is very sensitive to change in hydration of the body jeff punch md division of transplantation university of michigan albumin what you do not know can kill you excerpt from dr mercolas website in order to fight off invade bacteria virus fungi and other invader your body send the immune system into action engage t cell b cell macrophage eosinophil and other immune system warrior in battle the battle against germ is protein base because the immune system utilize many protein base substance to fight off the invasion by rapidly produce more protein base substance to defend the body however there can only be a certain concentration of all protein in the body and when the concentration of immune system protein go up the concentration of other protein must fall one of the protein that decrease when the immune system is engage in battle is a crucial protein call albumin and that is where the trouble lie albumin is an important protein that is find in most animal tissue albumin is assemble in the liver from more than 500 amino acid the most abundant protein in the bloodstream albumin many important duty include protect easily damage tissue from the free radical that can destroy your cell and cause cancer by

liver because your liver is your bodys chief mechanism for disarm toxin and other dangerous substance and because albumin which is make in your liver do the same throughout the body it is as if your liver have send million of tiny piece of itself to every single little cell to round up and destroy harmful substance and organism albumin play an indispensable role in maintain the delicate chemical balance of the nourishing fluids interstitial fluid that surround and support the trillion of cell in your body if these fluid are healthy your cell will flourish but if the fluid become polluted or deplete of certain substance your cell can not help but fall ill and disease will sweep through the body albumin is like a filter that remove toxin from water like the net that scoop debris out of a swimming pool like the dispenser that squirt extra vitamin d into milk albumin ensure that bodily fluid are clean fill with nutrient and properly balanced and when you re fill with health giving fluid you can not help but be healthy lower albumin the hide problem with infection and disease medical doctor know about albumin and often measure the amount find in the blood with a simple blood test standard blood work up include albumin depict anything between 3 0 and 5 2 as normal albumin have not been a focus of traditional medicine despite the fact that albumin level are the single most important indicator of health status when the level of albumin in your blood drop your risk of contract a possibly deadly disease skyrocket statistical report demonstrate that albumin level correlate closely with age but are not truly age relate that is albumin level tend to drop as we grow old but do not necessarily have to albumin level drop when the immune system engage in a battle with invade bacteria virus fungi and other germ it also fall when the body is force to deal with an onslaught of toxin and other dangerous substance that we inhale drink or eat or that get into the body through the skin respiratory system or other port of entry temporary drop in albumin level are necessary and not a problem it is as if we miss a credit card payment one month because of unexpected medical expense then make the miss payment with interest the next month our credit take a small hit then quickly recover the problem come when were continually battle infection and your albumin run low for month on end like a person who do not make a credit card payment for several month our credit is eventually ruin now were face serious illness and we never seem to have enough resource to beat the

one year ago tonight was the last time I speak to ron he fall asleep on the sofa I go into bed and when I wake up at 4 30am to use the powder room I go to check on he and he was not snore so I walk around the sofa and the only light was the tv it do not look like he was breathe and I reach over for hand say ron wake up and when I touch his hand and it was cold and he was not responsive I shake his hand his before midday and then put my hand on his cold face say more and more loudly ron wake up and there was no response and then I just start to say oh god oh god wake up do not do this to I is this really happen oh god I do not remember much for a few moment after that except I go and put on a fleece shirt grab my cell phone open the front door turn on the light and call 911 I was on autopilot when 911 answer I quickly and very clinically where do that come from say ron full name and the address and situation and ask for an ambulance they put I hold and someone pick up and I immediately repeat what I have say and the person ask where is he and I say have you dispatch the ambulance and the man respond yes we need you start cpr and then they ask where he was and say I have to get he on the floor and I try several time with the guy ask is he on the floor and I say no I can not move he he was a big man not overweight just big and my heart was pound so hard and my breathing was so erratic I think I was go to faint but I get he on the floor I do not remember how but I do and his head was a little cockeyed so I have to straighten he out by brace my foot on the sectional and pull he down the carpet and then that is when I see his face clearly he was purple and his face was two or three time its normal size and the guy ask I if he have a heartbeat and I say I can not tell because my own heart was pound in my ear the man talk I through the cpr till the paramedic arrive I hear the front door open and I get up and walk backwards so as not to see they and go in the dining room and try to calm down because I was shake so hard and my heart was race and I was hyperventilate I was afraid I was go to have a heart attack the police show up and ask I a bunch of question and I could not even remember the year ron was bear I keep stand up and sit down ask is he dead and then say no do not tell I I can not handle it I think I do this fifty time or so up and down up and down they take he out as a code and I remember think oh a code code is not dead but know on some level in my subconscious that code is dead I want to go with he so he was not alone but the police tell I I could not leave because they consider it a crime scene if he was dead I was mortify it seem so callous they get a heart beat when he was in the ambulance but the police do not know this for about an hour there is a lot more about how I figure out how to get a hold of his sister I could not think straight I could not call his parent his mother have just go into remission after a year of chemo for breast cancer and his father have just been diagnose with liver lung and stomach cancer finally I find his sister phone number and the police call she and she start scream and I grab the phone from the officer and tell she what have happen and beg she to get the hospital so he would not be alone so I guess I am nervous I will wake up at 4 30am and or be plague by these memory in my dream tonight I have not have those dream for awhile sorry I am being so wordy and I will probably be post for the next couple of day try to exorcise some of these horrific flashback I actually feel a little well share some of what happen thank,neutral,1

a snippet I find on line from a radio phone in on live disease I do not realise how common fatty liver is even among non drinker a friend of mine have recently been diagnose with a fatty liver when she ask what have cause it the doctor say it is a symptom of a western diet no further advice was give my friend really concerned and what she would like to know is is it reversible would a low fat diet help and in the long term could it be life threaten your friend doctor is absolutely right fat in the liver is very common we talk alcohol start off with fat in the liver but even in people who do not drink at all fat in the liver is common and it is common in europe it is common in the united states it is not common in sub saharan africa where people are very skinny and so it is due to a the high fat high carbohydrate diet we have and the fact that as a population we are get progressively heavy it is probably up to 20 of people walk around in the street in london at the moment have some excess fat in their liver so it is very common and therefore quite obviously it need not be serious the risk of it it gets associate with people have high cholesterol people have a tendency to get what we call maturity onset diabetes diabete in later life a tendency to have a high blood pressure and actually in a way it is quite a good thing to have find out when you re relatively young because really it is a wake up call about your lifestyle it remind you that if you do take exercise if you keep your weight down you re actually in 20 30 year time much less likely to be suffer from a heart attack from a stroke and so there is nothing terribly worry about being find to have a fatty liver but it is a wake up call to do the lifestyle thing we all know that we ought to do so when you re ask about treatment and so on I mean there are not any magic medication for this no it is it is lose weight and take exercise and I give this advice to a lot of people and of course not everybody take it but the people who do who come back and they have shed a stone a stone and a half over the course of three to four month not rapidly but slowly they come back and they say I feel so much well,negative,0

the last 3 or so week have been very challenging for I in way I really never understand until recently 2 week ago I take my mom to the hospital because she seem to have flu and I was worried it was go to get bad it take a lot of convince on my part because she hate doctor so much after some initial test they find she is severely dehydrate and that she may have cancer and would need to do some x ray and a ct scan hour later she have node all over her pancreas and it look like some in her liver and lung but we can not be sure is what we get tell swiftly she gets take into icu where they do all they can to re hydrate she so she can get a biopsy do her calcium and a few other thing were extremely out of wack so they have to fix that as well she was a mess two day later biopsy give we the dread news she have stage 4 pancreatic cancer not only that but that it was definitely in her liver and was push on her bile duct and have a few node in her lung she was so weak and drain from all the fluid and other drug that chemo was likely to kill she so they keep treat all the other issue two day later she have gain 90 pound of water she is so big now that liquid is ooze out her skin and do not even really look like my mom anymore her kidney have shut down as they now have cancer form and the few node in her lung have spread so fast that it is throughout her whole lung system she was barely conscious anymore and we were lose she they opt to try and open her duct to try and kick start her kidney in a last ditch attempt but it fail her body was so weak after the procedure that she have to stay on a ventilator and could no long open her eye a day later she pass away from her heart and blood pressure drop so low that it could not sustain she anymore the cancer spread was so quick there was nothing we could do I watch as she suffer through all this unable to help she I feel so helpless because I have lose someone that honestly have help rebuild my life in the last 2 1 2 year since I have join this site everyone advice and her guidance have really shape who I have become I was honestly happy before all this take place and now I feel as empty when my ex wife leave I I know cry and talk help and I find that is all I do anymore this time thing it is just too much I am watch my dad struggle with take over her role it take he 4 hour just today to right out 9 check and to balance say book he refuse to modernize and wish to stay with how my mom do thing but he struggle and get upset and I do not know how to help he anymore then I know how to help myself it is so very hard lose someone you love and care for and I know time will help lessen this pain and that even more time all the bad thing I am feel now will fade some and be replace with well memory of she but in the meantime how do I continue go on my good friend is lay up in bed from a really nasty car accident that happen in november his fault he was speed do 100 down a road know to have deer and hit say deer and take out a pole and tree he is lucky to be alive I stay with he at the hospital and until my mom start get sick was more or less live with he and his parent take care of his every need I can not find the strength to do it anymore he overwhelm I so quickly and then we fight over stupid stuff because I am so space out and lose in thought that I can not care for he right I do not know how to just walk away because deep down I care but at the same time I do not know how to handle it anymore am I a horrible person for need a break is it well to cope with the death of my mom alone or should I just push through it,negative,0
this have been on my mind for a while now and it is slowly start to really bother I I have been on medication now for year and over the last say 4 to 4 1 2 year I have been take morphine for pain relief also an extra morphine medicine form for break through pain relief I am upto high dose now as everytime I manage to get to the drs to discuss my pain was increase and affect my everyday life all they do was up the dose today was one of those time I am now use 500 mil of liquid morphine every 2 week that s 1 2 a litre also that is only the break through medication I am now total 240 mg morphine in a 8 hour period I am feel like a lose cause with the doctor as all they do is pass I about and nothing is ever resolve I am absolutely in agony all the time and the medication is do nothing well I think it is not but I realise that my tolerance to the morphine is probably unbelievable now I am so worried that I am an unaware addict to this drug what is go to happen to I how will they ever get I off it if ever and if they do get I off it what can I do about my pain I am get in a tizz about it and it have start to take over my thought process I can not get this out of my head have anyone have a long period of use morphine for pain my consultant and pain managing team say to I that I am on more pain medication of morphine than they give to the really ill people who unfortunately have cancer I am only 34 and I was tell my gp that apart from an 89 year old lady suffering cancer I am the only person on their book to be use this drug I can only get it from one pharmacy as it is a type of drug no one like to leave on their premise incase of drug user break in for it I have to have it deliver as I am paranoid to death that I am go to be jump and have it take from I on the way home from the pharmacy my head is every where I just can not carry on like this anymore it have dominate my life for get on for ten year pain and I can not see any light at the end of the tunnel I can not even see a bloody tunnel I am so scarde right no and realisation that I am go to be dependent on this medication for the rest of my life is make I feel like what is the point I worry to that if I ever get the transplant I so desperately need will my liver be next I mean all those drug can not be do my liver much good can they people say to I you are a young man you will get through this but after 10 year of fight it I feel like I am 80 I am so tired all the time but can not sleep I am so miserable moody and depress I really can not see the point to life at all I really can not,negative,0
is it just a way to sell stuff it mention ldn and say some of the same thing I have read here it is about cancer but it seem it would relate to hcv as well www cancer prevention net here are 11 effective natural strategy to kill your cancer cancer strategy 1 increase cellular oxygen level there are several way to significantly increase oxygen level in your cell so that you can kill cancer cell and also prevent they from spread the most effective way is to take an oxygen supplement that will literally produce much more oxygen in your cell you can also increase the efficiency of the mitochondria enable it to utilize the oxygen to create energy aerobically and finally you can enhance circulation so that more oxygen and vital nutrient get to your cell not good drink dilute food grade hydrogen peroxide a make hole in the stomach of people and oxygen release by hydrogen peroxide treatment and also oxygen salt supplement that release oxygen when they are ingest tend to cause free radical damage a only a small portion of the oxygen they release get into cell as there is not a delivery system that naturally take oxygen from the blood and get it into cell a energetic testing for drink hydrogen peroxide come in very low about 25 make it a poor solution to oxygenate your cell less bad the aerobic oxygen salt at least the good one test much well at 165 a the good oxygenating supplement make use of deuterium or heavy water to split water molecule into oxygen and hydrogen the most heavily market one find in most health food store energetically is much strong than the aerobic oxygen salt at 214 a however a different oxygen supplement from an mlm company is even high come in at 320 well still though is the supplement we have recommend for year oxy e energetic testing put this at 432 when use in high therapeutic dose recommend oxydhq http www gethealthyagain biz product_info php products_id 24889 a improved oxygenation supplement a use in high dose energetically test at 1080 a high testing oxygenation product was oxydhq a use at its foundation the same type of oxygen produce formulation as oxy e a a deuterium fortify water with 84 mineral 39 enzyme 19 amino acid a contain therapeutic level of dhq which on its own is a powerful free radical scavenger that also condition red blood cell so that they are more flexible and work well a increase circulation a a special vitamin c ascorbo phoshpate is add a about 16 time more potent than regular vitamin c a may be able to extend healthy cell life up to 240 in test tube a have 15 sea ormus which bring in that heal force of energetic frequency to oxydhq over the next few year youa ll be hear a lot more about ormus a normalize ph level bring they up if too acidic down if too alkaline a oxydhq as an electrolyte have the ability to stimulate healthy cell growth by add the proper amount of voltage to the cell a increase cellular energy just what you want to prevent cancer growth a kill parasite bacteria viruse mold and fungi a do not harm beneficial microorganism oxydhq come in a convenient 4 ounce bottle as high dose always work well equivalent to 4 bottle of oxy e for early stage cancer consider use 3 bottle a month advanced cancer are handle well by use 4 bottle monthly an adult would use 5 bottle a month for very advanced cancer oxydhq test energetically at 1080 make it easily the second good oxygenation supplement to use after ronuv cover below oxydhq make an acidic drink like lemon juice or orange juice while it is acidic in the stomach just like lemon juice it work to increase ph level in your body recommend ronuv http www gethealthyagain biz product_info php cpath 32 products_id 26327 a a unique powerful oxygenation supplement this is test as one of the good cancer fighter 12 200 a oxydhq and custom elixir oxy work synergistically with ronuv a the combination of all three test at 17 800 a special low deuterium water make in europe a the amount of deuterium in this water have been reduce to 25 part per million of deuterium with small amount of a number of frequency enhance elixir add to it to greatly enhance its action a it is frequency enhance with numerous subtle vibrational energy again all work to make ronuv work more powerfully while oxy e and oxydhq work by put small amount of deuterium in your body where it interact with water molecule and produce oxygen and hydrogen ion ronuv work in the opposite way introduce a water with extremely low level of deuterium into your body the mechanism that cause ronuv to be one of the most powerful cancer fighter there is is the follow because cancer cell produce most of their energy by ferment sugar not with oxygen they tend to accumulate more deuterium in their cell the low deuterium water in ronuv is attract to these high deuterium cancer cell like iron to a magnet ronuv is pull to cancer cell the vibrational frequency it is energize with enable it to well enter cancer cell in fact any cell with damage mitochondrial function such as cell infect by virus and other pathogen which damage their ability to produce energy aerobically will have more deuterium in they and thus will act as a magnet attract deuterium to they make ronuv the good virus fighter we know of ronuv come in a 4 ounce dropper bottle use 3 bottle a month for early stage cancer 4 per month for advanced cancer and 6 bottle a month for very advanced cancer there have been report of people beat cancer drink about a liter a day of plain plain low deuterium water for month and month the use of the specific elixir and energetic vibrational frequency in ronuv make a huge improvement in effectiveness much less can be use it work much fast and it is much more powerful plain low deuterium water test energetically at 360 which is good compare to some of the common cancer fighting supplement and oxygenator but not nearly as good as ronuv testing at 12 200 recommend custom elixir oxy aka oxy e http www gethealthyagain biz product_info php products_id 25860 http www gethealthyagain biz advanced_search_result php keywords oxy e oscsid 5d980b7d72a844e91b815546ffc2868c a oxy e create oxygen in your cell a act as a free radical scavenger a produce extra hydrogen to increase ph level and combat free radical a oxydhq and custom elixir oxy supercharge the effectiveness of ronuv a one ounce bottle of liquid contain an acid base formulation of sea water mineral dissolve oxygen plant base amino acid and plant base enzyme a interact with deuterium a trace mineral naturally find in water a end up create hydrogen and oxygen as it split the chemical bond in water molecule this oxygen produce reaction can take place inside the cell the typical oxygen supplement always cause free radical or oxidative damage in the body oxy e do the opposite in its process of create stable oxygen molecule it actually eliminate free radical it work on two other fundamental cause of cancer over toxicity of the cell and ph you can not take too much your body only use as much as it need because it is a powerful detoxifier increase the dosage slowly suggest use add drop to eight ounce of purified water or juice and take with or after meal it will improve assimilation of supplement you take with it for a therapeutic dosage increase slowly to about 10 to 15 drop 6 to 10 time a day or you can drink up to 50 drop in a quart of water three time a day caution oxy e is a detoxifier so you may experience detoxification symptom like headache fatigue nausea and diarrhea if you increase the amount rapidly and thus detoxify fast than your body can comfortably handle the deuterium in oxydhq or oxy e is attract to the low deuterium water in ronuv because the low deuterium water in ronuv is attract to cancer cell oxydhq is also attract to cancer cell when ronuv is use because oxydhq is attract to ronuv this make oxydhq even more effective because it is produce more oxygen near to cancer cell as ronuv is able to target these cancer cell for oxydhq when use in the quantity suggest the cancer fighting ability of ronuv when use in conjunction with oxydhq test at an extremely powerful 13 600 and it get well the effective of ronuv and oxydhq become much strong when you add custom elixir oxy to the mix report on below custom elixir oxy will increase the amount of ronuv and oxygen from oxydhq that will get into cancer cell the amount of increase is very significant the combination of use equal amount of bottle of ronuv oxydhq and custom elixir oxy 3 of each for early stage 4 of each for advanced stage cancer and 5 of each for very advanced cancer test energetically at 17 800 replace my coq10 good kind of coq10 ge procoq10 max a work much well than the highly tout ubiquinol it test at 830 when therapeutic dose of 6 bottle a month are use to fight early stage cancer and 7 bottle a ge procoq10 max is the new standard in coq10 supplementation a the solubility and absorbability of coq10 in ge procoq10 have been increase by use ester to make it more bioavailable a human trial show that take it result in 18 time high serum level of coq10 than the same amount of standard coq10 a ge procoq10 contain another powerful oxygenation promote ingredient organic germanium 132 a germanium132 improve cellular oxygen level it is an oxygen rich organic form of germanium which have been study for its antiviral immuno stimulative and free radical scavenging action and for support improved oxygen utilization a increase the production of interferon which help activate immune system macrophage and t suppressor cell and enhance natural killer cell activity each capsule supply 50 mg of this organic germanium a provide a broad range of antioxidant include tocotrienol which have been find to be six thousand time more effective than vitamin e a contain natural b vitamin that boost energy stamina and help stabilize blood sugar include natural b vitamin that can not be synthesize such as pangamic acid a natural source of alpha lipoic acid squalene and ip6 cc eliminate ala a use 6 bottle of geprocoq10 max a month 6 capsule a day increase to 7 bottle a month for advanced cancer and 8 bottle per month for very advanced cancer coenzymeq10 coq10 is use in the mitochondria to transport oxygen if a cell do not have coq10 it can not produce energy use oxygen because that oxygen molecule would not get move to where it need to be move to coq10 must be there for your cell to produce energy use oxygen this is especially important in elderly patient whose level are usually quite low in fact after about age 35 people start use more coq10 than they make as you will read below coq10 have a history of use and success with cancer it is also vital for congestive heart failure which is often primarily co q10 deficiency if you take statin drug you need coq10 those drug block the production of coq10 and cause ten of thousand of death yearly from congestive heart failure there are several type of coq10 on the market cheap stuff from china energetic testing put its healing power at 30 good quality coq10 from japan come in at 100 there is a new increase absorption ubiquinol form that come in high still at 238 much more effective the most effective is the ester delivery system q10 suggest below part of its increase benefit is due to the oxygen enhance germanium in it recommend q r

cell is able to produce energy normally again with oxygen it produce enough energy to begin to function again and its internal clock start to function a because it have live long than its normal life span as a renegade cancer cell the now function cell internal clock tell it that it have live too long that is a big no no in the body so just about the first thing it do is to tell itself to die this process is call apoptosis a q rme greatly increase the bodys ability to repair the damage mitochondria in cancer cell so that cancer cell can start to function normally again and thus realize they must die use 3 bottle a month for early stage cancer and 4 bottle a month for advanced or very advanced cancer recommend life force elixir http www gethealthyagain biz advanced_search_result php

root and the b vitamin niacin in a base of beet root powder a increase the ability of the body to oxygenate the cell and enable more cancer kill nutrient to get into cancer cell a increase efficiency of all the other supplement and medication you take a you may notice an increase in energy a the wasabi that life support contain is a strong cancer killer on it is own contain compound include isothiocynate effective against cancer cancer strategy 2 raise ph level to reduce body acidity virtually everyone with cancer have low ph level this is because cancer is create and thrive in a body that have low ph level a body that is acidic low ph cause your body to store more toxin in cell and reduce oxygen level both of which are fundamental to the development of cancer when cancer cell grow they produce even more acid make it very difficult to raise ph level especially when cancer is present oxydhq test energetically for its ph adjust ability at 345 virtually tie with the oxygen catalyst use for adjust ph which come in at 346 oxydhq test much high for fight cancer 674 because the oxygen it create also do an especially good job of kill cancer cell overall for fight cancer the oxygen catalyst come in at 200 it do not do as good a job at fight cancer as at adjust ph level recommend ph balancer 8 0 http www gethealthyagain biz product_info php products_id 25202 a the next good ph adjuster we have find is an herbal formula originally design to reduce inflammation and support the heart and lung but when the developer of this product check to see how well it adjust ph level he discover it do a remarkably good job of increase ph level in the body so good in fact he rename the supplement a energetic testing validate his conclusion it come in at 499 when take in the suggest quantity it have the ability to potentize make other product more effective most particularly oxydhq and zeolite enhance with dhq when use these three supplement in the appropriate quantity for the amount of cancer you have energetic testing put their healing power at 3340 for fight cancer a it instruct cancer cell to stop pump the lactic acid they produce as part of the fermentation process out into the body this lactic acid when it is eliminate acidifie your body in fact if your cancer is in the lung or stomach and you have plenty of it the cancer may eliminate so much lactic acid in a confine space that the body produce fluid to dilute the acidic buildup cause ascite bla should work to eliminate this fluid buildup as it stop the elimination of lactic acid from the cell a proprietary formulation of herb mineral and amino acid in ph balancer 8 0 include l taurine hawthorne berry safflower wasabi japonica wild cherry allium cepa barberry bilberry cinnamon l carnitine l arginine turmeric cayenne wood betony dioscorea pleurisy potassium fritillaria and magnesium there is no one particular ingredient that is the key to its effectiveness it is the particular combination in the right quantity that make it work so well in addition as it is often important to reduce inflammation when fight cancer you get its ability to do so as an additional benefit a there are 90 tablet per bottle as with most supplement you take more for an advanced cancer than for an early stage cancer because you have more cancer to deal with so you need to be more vigorous in your approach to deal with it a for an early stage cancer consider use 3 bottle a month for advanced cancer get 4 bottle for a month supply and if try to reverse an end stage cancer go up to 5 bottle for a month supply they can be take with meal or on an empty stomach cancer strategy 3 get methylglyoxal into your cell koch energy dr william f kochs homeopathic energy remedy have for over 60 year been use time and again to conquer cancer and other major illness this late version is the strong we have find use it stimulate two important function a secondary function of the original koch energy supplement about 40 of what it do is to stimulate the body to repair damage respiratory enzyme in cell damage respiratory enzyme are a fundamental cause in the development of cancer koch energy thus would work synergistically with q rme cover in the immune system section and with geprocoq10 to help get cancer cell to produce energy normally again once this happen a cancer cell would start to function as a normal cell it would realize it have live too long and immediately tell itself to die a natural death the major cancer fighting action it perform is to stimulate the body to produce methylglyoxal once glyoxal and methylglyoxal are back in cell they put the break on uncontrolled cellular replication that characterize cancer cell it was dr kochs opinion that his remedy tap into healing at the dna level in all the cell of the body primarily by trigger a cell oxidative mechanism to regenerate the impaired aerobic oxygen respiration that cause the cell to go cancerous restore a cell ability to use oxygen to produce energy is fundamental to otto warburgs theory on how to stop cancer and it work dr koch use his remedy successfully for treat cancer allergy polio and infectious disease he postulate that it work against pathogen because the increase oxidation initiate by it would kill the disease cause pathogen in the cell and the methylglyoxal production that it stimulate literally tell cancer cell to stop their abnormally high replication rate cancer cell are gear up to replicate rapidly many time fast than normal cell at the same time as the original koch energy turn off the replication of cancer cell they initiate the repair of respiratory enzyme in the cell stop the spread of cancer and help to slow down the growth of or to even kill cancer cell the koch energy contain the energy from dr kochs full range of homeopathic formulation of glyoxal that stimulate your body to create more methylglyoxal in the cell koch energy have been significantly increase in energetic potency and now test energetically at 990 for fight cancer the original koch energy come in a 2 ounce dropper bottle for early stage cancer use two bottle a month 2 squeeze of the dropper bulb twice a day hold in your mouth 30 second before swallow for an advanced stage cancer use 4 bottle a month eight squeeze a day this do not have to be by itself away from food or supplement and now for some of the good cancer kill supplement cancer strategy 4 kill cancerous cell tmi cancer strategy 5 strengthen the immune system cancer strategy 5 a weaken immune system lead to cancer a strong immune system seek out and destroy cancer cell for most of your life your immune system successfully fight cancerous cell kill they as they develop that is its job in fact the only job natural killer cell have is to kill cancer cell and virus for cancer to develop your immune system must either be wear out ineffective unable to kill cancer cell as fast as they normally develop or you must be expose to a mass of cancer cause toxin radiation or some such thing that increase the rate of development of cancer cell to an abnormally high level that your immune system can not handle either way it is vital to strengthen the immune system in your battle against cancer especially if you are get medical treatment that wipe out your immune system many natural supplement support the immune system this is why so many of they are tout as being able to help you beat cancer if someone have an immune system that is almost able to handle the cancer even a poor immune system supplement can be enough to improve the immune system to the extent that it beat cancer of course for most folk with more seriously compromise immune system this supplement or group of supplement would not work well because they are in bad shape this is why it can get so confusing in decide what to use if a supplement or procedure have been use for year especially if it is popular you ll hear how it have beat cancer what you do not know is if it work 2 of the time or 50 or more give the number of people who die from cancer the success rate of most of these supplement is fairly low in this report we try to find and recommend the supplement that work the good so that you have the great likelihood of success it is easy to squander money and more importantly time on product that would not get the job do the other concern is to make sure you do enough to wipe out the cancer cancer is not something to pussyfoot around with while it is always hopeful and fun to read about how someone take just one supplement and beat their cancer and while that could happen to you your odd of success are much high if you take many different supplement in order to hit the cancer as hard as you can in order to determine which cancer fighting supplement are the most effective one we energetically test they for what we call their healing power we have find this to be the most effective way of determine which supplement are likely to be the good to use our experience is that this work much well than take a guess as what is good and what is not as good as it sound when we start do this we were surprised at how poorly the well know supplement and procedure test many have been around for year and were popular use by many patient and naturopath and so on but they actually were not highly effective though they are good enough to help some people and thus over time produce plenty of testimonial as you see in this report we ve been able to find many strong product most of they new and thus unknown we hope you find these testing number useful we retest new supplement after they have been use a while to check how good they are prove to be after extend use so number will change and emphasis too base on real life result it is all too easy to waste money or bad yet die from take supplement that are not as good as they seem this testing and these recommendation will help you determine what is just okay to take and what is very good to use give that many of the most well know cancer fighting supplement test in the range of 200 to 300 these new supplement are the strong immune boosting and cancer killing supplement you can get we will divide these supplement rating and explanation up into different broad category of similar product the immune system use inflammation to get rid of kill cancer cell whether they are kill by an herb or essential oil by chemotherapy or by the immune system if you kill a lot of cancer cell fast as you can with the top supplement in this section the tumor these cell are in get inflame this is because the immune system is use inflammation to get rid of the dead cell and there are a whole lot of dead cancer cell in the tumor this inflammation swell the tumor and could cause pain or dysfunction depend on where the tumor is you do not want to swell a tumor in the brain or in the bone or in the throat for example as that could cause problem we have been look at cancer fighting supplement for almost a decade and have not come across this issue before which just go to show that most product are not near as effective as the first group of immune boost cancer killer cover in this section the one that bring this swelling issue to our attention because these new high rate supplement work so much more strongly than ordinary supplement the swelling was more dramatic and it was evident what was happen so the supplement are divide into two group supplement in the first group are the hard hit fast act cancer killer and immune booster that work by both kill cancer cell and stimulate the immune system to do so the second group of supplement in this section fight cancer mainly but not entirely by cause cancer cell to commit apoptosis or natural cell death they are the one you must use if any swelling of a tumor would cause pain or dysfunction since these will not cause the inflammatory response by the immune system prugx bla and mca2 cause cancer cell to die a natural death and they do so rapidly this make they even fast act than cancer killer but they can be use when you need to avoid inflammation cancer kill immune boost super supplement these supplement will be list in order of their energetic testing healing power they are much more powerful than the standard immune system product like mushroom extract these supplement are make with or are frequency enhance with a number of different technology that concentrate and stabilize specific energetic frequency in water these deliver specific energetic message to the immune system or the body that have prove to be extremely effective in deal with cancer some of these have additional and often patent pende process herb or essential oil that work synergistically with these energy it is the essential oil energize elixir that hit the cancer so hard kill so many cancer cell quickly that we see for the first time cancer tumor swell up quickly because there were so many dead cancer cell in the tumor and the immune system use inflammation to get rid of kill cancer cell cause the tumor to swell up these essential oil elixir hit the cancer so hard feedback on these have been very good the top two essential oil energize elixir work synergistically together this make they the next strong cancer fighting combination after prugx bla and mca2 they are zaomor and corvix zaomor we do not recommend new supplement that are somewhat similar to something we are already recommend unless they test as being even strong zaomor is one such supplement testing at a very high 14 100 in heal power zaomor is an energized water and essential oil elixir that have been frequency enhance with energy that are closely associate with divinity two unique and proprietary technology are use to imprint specific healing energy from historic spiritual text and sacred writing into the water in zaomor the combination of specially process essential oil that work synergistically with the specific vibrational energy imprint in zaomor plus additional instruction that enhance immune system response make zaomor the most powerful immune system boost cancer killer we have test it contain the follow essential oil cedarwood oil birch oil black spruce oil douglas fir needle oil pine oil and thuga oil these are process use a patent pende method to greatly enhance their absorption and effectiveness because of this processing on their own they are powerful cancer killers research have show that every write and spoken word have its own subtle energetic vibration for example water that have been expose to the word god or love make exquisite crystal when frozen water that have been expose to a word like hate make ugly incomplete crystal when freeze the powerful technology use to make zaomor concentrate amplify and stabilize in its water subtle energy from the name jesus god holy spirit and holy bible energy from the follow bible verse have also been capture in zaomor matthew 5 9 matthew 5 14 16 matthew 6 9 13 matthew 7 24 27 john 4 8 john 4 18 john 15 17 luke 9 1 2 and corinthian 13 4 7 use 3 bottle a month for early stage cancer 4 per month for advanced stage cancer and 6 bottle a month for very advanced cancer because zaomor use completely different essential oil and energy than do corvix it work synergistically with corvix our energetic testing on the cancer fighting power of zaomor and corvix when use in the suggest quantity is 27 300 corvix corvix is make with three specially process essential oil of clary sage chamomile and angelica root in water that is energize with proprietary energizing technique this combination give corvix the energetic rating of 12 400 in heal power corvix work to boost the immune system response to cancer it greatly improve the ability of the immune system cell to target cancer cell so that they can well kill the cancer use corvix enable more of they to be able to attach to cancer cell so they can destroy they corvix also significantly increase the ability of the immune cell to identify your own cell so that the immune system do not attack those cell this dual ability may enable corvix to very significantly improve the ability of the immune system to eliminate cancer cell while at the same time reduce inflammatory response the immune system use to get rid of those dead cancer cell in addition the energy in corvix greatly increase the ability of every cell in your body to produce more energy this enable they to function more effectively to detoxify well and help to prevent they from turn into rouge non functional cell because of low energy production this wide range of support at very effective level is why the healing power of corvix is so high and why it have prove to be such an effective cancer fighter like all these elixirs corvix come in a two ounce dropper bottle for an early stage cancer use 1 bottle per month use 2 per month for advanced cancer and 3 per month for very advanced cancer zernix the secret to the power of zernix lie both in the large number of essential oil specially produce for great effectiveness in a patent pende process and a variety of mineral in it to optimize its effectiveness these work in conjunction wit,neutral,1

http www msnbc msn com i d 50425621 new york reuters health the number of donor liver throw away in the you s have increase since 2004 due in part to a population grow old and heavy accord to a new study that also point to change in medical practice that may make some donor liver less viable the rationale for look at this question in the first place is that the number of liver transplant do in the you s have go down say the studys lead author dr eric orman a fellow at the university of north carolina at chapel hill to identify factor that might explain the trend orman and his colleague use a national database of all organ donation begin in late 1987 to see how many liver from donor of at least one organ were discard and why they find that the proportion of unused liver fall dramatically from 66 percent in 1988 to 15 percent in 2004 after that however the percentage of unused liver begin to rise again hit 21 percent in 2010 between 1988 and 2010 about 107 000 people donate their liver nearly 42 000 of those were after 2004 of those post 2004 donation about 33 900 liver were use and about 7 600 were not when the researcher who publish their result in the journal liver transplantation look at the difference between the liver that were use and those that were not they find a few possible link specifically liver from old heavy and sicker patient were more likely to be throw out between 2004 and 2010 advertise adchoice that was not too surprising because a lot of those donor are more likely to have fatty liver those liver are avoid because they can lead to bad outcome after transplant say orman and the proportion of old heavy donor increase during the study period between 1988 and 2010 the average donor age rise by almost 10 year and the proportion of donor who were over age 50 grow from 16 percent to 38 percent the proportion who were obese rise from 15 percent in 1995 to just over 30 percent in 2010 and donor with diabete and high blood pressure grow from three percent in 1995 to almost 23 percent in 2010 the finding suggest that overall population aging and rise obesity lead to a decline in the quality of liver being harvest and ultimately to an increase in the percentage of unused organ the researcher write they also find that the number of liver donate after so call cardiac death rise during the study period and that those liver were more likely not to be use in traditional donation after brain death the bodys heart is still pump and supply blood to organ because it is still attach to life support machine in donation after cardiac death those machine have been disconnect because liver donate after cardiac death have sometimes been link to bad outcome after transplant compare to brain death donation the fact that more cardiac death organ were discard do not surprise the researcher they find that cardiac death liver make up a quarter of all unused liver by 2010 whereas in 1995 they were just one percent the problem is that the standard or brain death donor seem to be decrease over the last few year and the number of cardiac death donor is increase say orman one possible explanation the researcher write is that machine keep the heart beating are being remove early which would turn a potential brain death donation into a less desirable cardiac death donation though there is no evidence to support this concern orman caution orman tell reuters health that one limitation of the new study is that he and his colleague can not say for certain why liver were discard we could not look at the actual reason but we could look at association he say dr david reich professor and chief of transplantation at drexel university and hahnemann hospital in philadelphia say he agree that organ donor are old sicker and more obese but he do not think cardiac death are cannibalize the supply of potential brain death liver rather he tell reuters health brain death are decline because of the advancement of neurological technique the cardiac death are grow because of change in management by neurologist and neurosurgeon he say that is good for patient but it is go to cost we some donor source http bit ly wvzs4l and http bit ly wvzhws liver transplantation online december 27 2012 c copyright thomson reuter 2013 check for restriction,neutral,1

as some of you know my husband is deal with hcv so I am learn alot in regard to liver health something new that I have learn is that insulin resistance find in pre diabetic and diabetic can cause liver damage the reason for this is the liver help maintain normal blood glucose concentration in the fasting and postprandial state loss of insulin effect on the liver lead to glycogenolysis and an increase in hepatic glucose production insulin resistance create a fatty liver atmosphere which can lead to non viral hepatitis and cirrhosis there are study being conduct now regard the incidence of elevated liver enzyme in non manifest diabete in other word they are research whether lft can determine a person predisposition to insulin resistance the benefit to this would be to catch people before they become pre diabetic and eliminate the risk of cellular damage from high glucose level from this we also realize the need to have regular testing of liver function if it is not something your doctor is check on your yearly physical which many will not without symptom then you should discuss it at your next visit,neutral,1

cry and while I understand I tell she it is just hair just as baptism is an outward sign of christ inside hair loss is an outward sign of the chemo she is still beautiful and lose her hair will not change that togetherfighting togetherfighting you know when I first start type that phrase back at the first photo of meredith and I it was to let she know that I am here for she no matter what it was to tell she she is not alone in this situation and that I will fight for she because I love she over the last two week I have watch and listen to so many people and realize although I may be late to the realization that it have come to mean so much more I have this misconstrue idea to start out that this was about meredith and I and that nothing else matter in this fight I could not have been more wrong there is so much more in that little phrase than just meredith and I you see it is all of you also our friend and family your prayer hug well wish note gift and even the meal that have been drop off at the house we are not in this with each other you are all in this with we we are all togetherfighte I can not express what that knowledge have mean to I once I discover it I always know god was with the both of we and that he would not leave we the outpouring of love we have receive since this fight start have been simply amazing the simple thing mean so much from the lady who come to help I clean the house to the family who have provide dinner to our I am not name name as to who have do what because they have not do this for their glory but for christ and their reward will come I sit each night once the kid go to bed and meredith is rest and I listen to music and cry yes I am a grown man and I will admit to cry I will not do it in front of she but I do cry it is unavoidable I am not hide it from she I mean I am here admit it know she will read this and so will the kid my job is to be strong in front of she and weak when she is sleep my weakness allow I to lean on god even more to keep I strong when she is awake I learn several year ago when I was go through the hard part of my own medical issue that writing was a great way for I to vent I am write this because many have ask my feeling because I am not the good at express they I do not allow myself to express they because show my weakness is not an easy thing ask other for help do not come natural to I I have try my whole life to be self sufficient I have learn in the past that I am not in control and that god is I have wonder through this event if my sickness in the past was to prepare I for this now through all of you he have been show we his love and try to prove to I that we are not alone so the long and the short of this message is thank you thank you for being there for care and for pray with all of you she will beat this cancer in her body because we are all togetherfighte january 12 2016 so the decision have been make tonight that on thursday meredith anno will be cut her hair off now there are a couple of option here I can do a cut her hair then shave it off myself b take she somewhere that will not overcharge I to shave she bald I have no problem do the job myself I am just scared that since cut hair is not my profession I may hurt she more than help she her decision to shave it off is so that the chemo will not tell she when it will take it away she is show she still have a say and control in what happen I personally think this is a great statement to make as it show she is still fight so I am open to suggestion as to who to use on thursday or if it is well do by I I am all ear

in discussion about diet and so on I think I mention that despite what I eat I could not put on weight I was talk tonight with one of my buddy on here and we have similar symptom he mention catabolic waste so a quick google get I to the first part of the article below I also include the link to the web site it seem to describe pretty much my symptom of no weight gain http www lef org protocol prtcl 029 shtml I hope this may be of interest craig catabolic waste or cachexia is a clinical wasting syndrome that is characterize by unintended and progressive weight loss weakness and low body fat and muscle at least 5 of body weight is lose cachexia is not cause by poor appetite and nutritional intake but rather by a metabolic state in which a breaking down rather than a building up occur in bodily tissue no matter how much nutritional intake occur additionally whether a patient receive nutrition orally or intravenously make no difference the patient simply can not gain weight so eat more is not an answer it is estimate that half of all cancer patient experience catabolic waste with a high occurrence see in case of malignancy of the lung pancrea and gastrointestinal tract the syndrome is equally common in aids patient and can also be present in bacterial and parasitic disease rheumatoid arthritis and chronic disease of the bowel liver lung and heart it is usually associate with anorexia and can manifest as a condition in aging or as a result of physical trauma catabolic waste is a symptom that diminish the quality of life worsen the underlying condition and is a major cause of death cachexia and cancer researcher previously believe that cancer increase metabolic demand steal protein produce toxin and suppress appetite result in malnutrition new research however show that although cancer may raise rest metabolic rate improve nutrition do not alleviate the symptom of anorexia chronic nausea early satiety and change in taste that make even favorite food unpalatable to some cancer patient the view of clinician is that bodily waste is the result of a combine action of tumor product and host immune factor in particular cytokine that lead to poor appetite muscle waste and an altered metabolism the cytokine interleukin 1 il 1 il 6 interferon gamma tumor necrosis factor alpha tnf alpha and brain derive neurotrophic factor appear to increase and play a role in the progression of cachexia in cancer as well as in other disease associate with bodily waste other metabolic alteration associate with the syndrome are hyperglyceridemia lipolysis and accelerate protein turnover all lead to a loss of fat mass and body protein the dysregulation of metabolic process produce a negative energy balance clinician are currently treat cancer relate catabolic waste with a variety of intervention include nutritional supplementation administration of cytokine inhibitor steroid hormone cannabinoid and thalidomide gemcitabine a chemotherapeutic drug have show clinical benefit in treat cachexia new nutritional intervention with megestrol acetate derivative gamma receptor agonists amino acid manipulation myostatin inhibitor and uncouple protein modifier is currently being explore further research must be do to investigate gender difference in relation to pathophysiology and therapy there is some evidence that the drug hydrazine sulfate may help cancer patient gain weight and improve the cachectic state the drug is by prescription and should be give by a complementary physician familiar with its use as it can be toxic the dose is usually 60 mg a day narcotic painkiller or benzodiazepine anxiety reduce agent can not be give concomitantly cachexia and hiv bodily waste is a common manifestation of hiv occur at any state of infection and indicative of disease progression malnutrition a result of appetite loss is commonly due to nausea and vomit weakness and diarrhea are often present as well person with hiv may also experience malabsorption of nutrient due to enteric infection associate with the disease even if they consume sufficient calorie the effect of malnutrition are think to contribute to increase immune suppression include a reduction in t lymphocyte helper and suppressor cell alter phagocytic function and decrease killer cell activity lead to opportunistic infection and cancer proinflammatory cytokine il 1 il 6 and tnf have been cite in many study as potential cause of waste most people with advanced hiv and aid have some degree of waste to reverse weight loss appetite stimulant anabolic agent such as growth hormone or testosterone cytokine inhibitor and hormone are often prescribe megestrol acetate and dronabinol which contain the active ingredient in marijuana are approve for the treatment of waste thalidomide which aid in the healing of aphthous ulcer of the mouth and esophagus is now available diagnosis unfortunately the cachectic state is all too apparent to any observer in severe chronic disease with the development of multiple organ failure some degree of malabsorption of nutrient probably contribute to the cachectic state the entire picture is reflect in a continue decline of the serum albumin as the illness progress conversely an increase in serum albumin suggest an improvement in the nutritional state as long as a patient is maintain on nutrition by the normal route by mouth optimize the state of digestive secretion is probably advisable although there may not be clinical study demonstrate this the heidelburg test reflect this environment and can be use to ascertain the need for either hydrochloric acid or pancreatic enzyme supplementation,neutral,1
good to hear from vernon that he have cut back on the barrel of grape juice he use to consume we have a health food store that use to sell sasparilla it taste great but it was so sweet ya just know it must of been bad for you the rotten truth why fruit sugar is one of the most damaging ingredient in our food by john naish last update at 2 26 am on 4th october 2011 comment 3 add to my story share the high content of fructose in process fruit juice may be the trigger for rectal cancer sweet cheap and natural a fructose sound like the ideal a healthya sweetener however the sugar which is find naturally in fruit but is now add to many process food may hide a range of deadly secret scientist are discover that fructose appear to be link to serious modern epidemic such as cancer heart disease hypertension kidney damage and even dementia the late fear were raise last week by research that find people who consume lot of fructose by drink fruit juice have an increase risk of rectal cancer the research publish in the journal of the american dietetic association suggest that the high content of fructose in process fruit juice may be the trigger the problem the researcher say is that many substance find in fruit which help protect against bowel cancer a such as fibre vitamin c and other antioxidant a are lose during processing there have been other concern about the fructose content of fruit juice early this year scientist at bangor university warn that even freshly squeeze juice contain up to five teaspoon of fructose per glass which may lead to weight gain or even diabete the british dietetic association say that because of this we should drink only one 150ml glass of juice a day more why laughter could be the good medicine for dementia patient over 65 who take a daily aspirin are twice as likely to suffer age relate sight loss it warn a although fruit juice is natural it have have all the fibre squeeze out of it and so the fructose is easily absorb into the bloodstream a if only keep onea s consumption of fructose down to safe daily level were that straightforward nowadays fructose is crop up not just in fruit juice where it occur naturally but in all sort of food and drink a from biscuit to that is cream most consumer wouldna t know it can be list in the ingredient under a variety of name the most common name for industrially produce version is high fructose corn syrup it is a process form of fructose derive basically from corn in the uk it is replace beet and cane sugar because ita s cheap and keep food moist boost shelf life it add texture to food such as cereal bar and biscuit make they chewy and thicken that is cream and yoghurt drink high fructose corn syrup is use in frozen product too as it reduce crystallisation another benefit is that it turn baked product an appetising brown so you can often find it in cake pastry and bread roll cracker and cereal ita s easy to see why manufacturer of food and drink love corn syrup a and are use so much of it a low fat fruit flavour yoghurt for instance can harbour ten teaspoon of the fructose base sweetener in one pot a can of soft drink can contain as much as 13 teaspoon scientist are now grow increasingly worried about fructose syrupa s health effect because although it contain around the same number of calorie as cane sugar the body do not metabolise fructose syrup in the same way it place a far great load on the liver which in turn prompt a range of problem include raise level of fat in the bloodstream in august a you s study publish in the journal of clinical endocrinology metabolism find that adult who consume high fructose corn syrup in fizzy drink for two week as 25 per cent of their daily calorie requirement have increase blood level of cholesterol and fat call triglyceride which are link to an increase risk of heart disease fructose may also cause liver damage the you s study find as dr kimber stanhope who lead the study explain a fructose overload the liver it then gets turn into liver fat which then increase blood triglyceride cholesterol and the risk of cardiovascular disease a high level of fructose intake have been link with the formation of beta amyloid plaque in the brain which are often see in people with alzheimer she add that fructose may also increase the risk of diabetes in this way a the extra liver fat may cause the increase insulin resistance we see in people consume fructose a insulin resistance is link to a high risk of diabetes fructose may also make you more prone to obesity for example laboratory research by princeton university this year conclude that a long term consumption of high fructose corn syrup result in abnormal increase in body fat especially in the abdomena such abdominal fat may raise your risk of heart disease and stroke professor bart hoebel who lead the study say a some people have claim that high fructose corn syrup is no different to other sweetener when it come to weight gain and obesity but our result make it clear that this just isna t true a high blood pressure is another danger say researcher at imperial college london the study publish in the journal hypertension early this year show that peoplea s blood pressure rise significantly for every extra sweeten drink they consume per day dr ian brown one of the researcher say fructose may reduce nitric oxide level in the bloodstream this chemical is vital for keep blood vessel healthily dilate professor richard johnson who lead the university of colorado study was move by the seriousness of this result to declare a excessive fructose intake should be consider an environmental toxin with major health implication a perhaps even more worrying research by cambridge university suggest fructose may be help to fuel rise level of dementia laboratory study have link high intake of fructose with the formation of beta amyloid plaque in the brain of animal these plaque are frequently see in people with alzheimera s in the you s concern over risk of high fructose corn syrup have lead to it being brand a the devila s candya a even michelle obama have declare she doesna t want her daughter eat it in response its maker the corn refiner association are try to rebrand high fructose corn syrup as a corn sugara this attempt to camouflage the product have prompt a high level legal case in the you s court a launch by maker of traditional cane sugar sucrose who dona t want to be sully by high fructose corn syrupa s worsen reputation however british health authority seem unworried and unwilling to accept responsibility the food standard agency say a the syrup is not class as an additive ita s just thick sugar ita s not even class as a novel food so it is an issue about nutrition rather than food safety a the agency say any food safety concern should be the department of healtha s responsibility but the latter say the former should be regulate it so how can british consumer keep an eye on their intake of high corn fructose syrup the problem is that ita s list under confusingly different name on food label a it can be know as glucose fructose syrup isoglucose and maize syrup the food makersa food and drink federation do not believe there are problem with labelling as it a fit with current eu legislationa it add a high fructose corn syrup is not widely use in the uka but a quick check at my local supermarket show a glucose fructose syrupa and fructose are ingredient in many product include muller light vanilla yoghurt yoplait petit filous mister kiple almond slice bakewell slice and victoria slice lucozade energy drink carte da or that is cream and mcvitiea s hob nob ginger nuts and jaffa cake as helen bond of the british dietetic association say a there are a lot of frightening trial out there about the potential effect of high fructose corn syrup what we need though is more scientific work a in the meantime it is surely wise to err on the side of caution print

interesting answer although these food do not necessarily make up a ban list as you head into the holidaysand all the grocery shopping that come with ittheir answer are well food for thought 1 can tomatoes the expert fredrick vom saal phd an endocrinologist at the university of missouri who study bisphenol a the problem the resin lining of tin can contain bisphenol a a synthetic estrogen that have been link to ailment range from reproductive problem to heart disease diabete and obesity unfortunately acidity a prominent characteristic of tomato cause bpa to leach into your food study show that the bpa in most people body exceed the amount that suppress sperm production or cause chromosomal damage to the egg of animal you can get 50 mcg of bpa per liter out of a tomato can and that is a level that is go to impact people particularly the young say vom saal I would not go near canned tomato the solution choose tomato in glass bottle which do not need resin lining such as the brand bionaturae and coluccio you can also get several type in tetra pak box like trader joe and pomi 2 corn fed beef the expert joel salatin co owner of polyface farm and author of half a dozen book on sustainable farming the problem cattle evolve to eat grass not grain but farmer today feed their animal corn and soybean which fatten up the animal fast for slaughter more money for cattle farmer and low price at the grocery store mean a lot less nutrition for we a recent comprehensive study conduct by the usda and researcher from clemson university find that compare with corn fed beef grass fed beef is high in beta carotene vitamin e omega 3s conjugate linoleic acid cla calcium magnesium and potassium lower in inflammatory omega 6s and low in saturate fat that have been link to heart disease we need to respect the fact that cow are herbivore and that do not mean feed they corn and chicken manure say salatin the solution buy grass fed beef which can be find at specialty grocer farmer market and nationally at whole food it is usually label because it demand a premium but if you do not see it ask your butcher 3 microwave popcorn the expert olga naidenko phd a senior scientist for

recent study from ucla in animal testing the chemical cause liver testicular and pancreatic cancer study show that microwave cause the chemical to vaporizeand migrate into your popcorn they stay in your body for year and accumulate there say naidenko which is why researcher worry that level in human could approach the amount cause cancer in laboratory animal dupont and other manufacturer have promise to phase out pfoa by 2015 under a voluntary epa plan but million of bag of popcorn will be sell between now and then the solution pop natural kernel the old fashioned way in a skillet for

during the grow season then spray with herbicide to kill off the fibrous vine before harvesting after they are dig up the potato are treat yet again to prevent they from sprout try this experiment buy

the university at albany and publisher of a major study in the journal science on contamination in fish the problem nature do not intend for salmon to be cram into pen and fed soy poultry litter and

the most contaminated fish come from northern europe which can be find on american menus you can only safely eat one of these salmon dinner every 5 month without increase your risk of cancer say carpenter whose 2004 fish contamination study get broad medium attention it is that bad preliminary science have also link ddt to diabetes and obesity but some nutritionist believe the benefit of omega 3s outweigh the risk there is also concern about the high level of antibiotic and pesticide use to treat these fish when you eat farm salmon you get dose with the same drug and chemical the

artificial hormone or organic milk these phrase indicate rbgh free product 7 conventional apple the expert mark kastel former executive for agribusiness and codirector of the cornucopia institute a farm policy research group that support organic food the problem if fall fruit hold a most douse in pesticide contest apple would win why they are individually graft descend from a single tree so that each variety maintain its distinctive flavor as such apple do not develop resistance to pest and are spray frequently the industry maintain that these residue are not harmful but kastel counter that it is just common sense to minimize exposure by avoid the most doused produce like apple farm worker have high rate of many cancer he say and increase number of study are start to link a high body

I copy this from a website my dr just put I on vit d 50 000 2x a week I write an article online about the danger of vitamin d deficiency and think it would be fitting for this site I never realize until I was diagnose with a serious vitamin d deficiency what all problem this could cause my doctor was very concerned because my level were dangerously low and he immediately put I on a high dose vitamin d supplement some other health problem my doctor tell I vitamin d deficiency could cause include heart disease chronic pain fibromyalgia hypertension arthritis depression inflammatory bowel disease obesity pms crohns disease cancer miss and other autoimmune disease the vitamin d council state that vitamin d deficiency can also cause stroke osteoporosis muscle weakness muscle waste and birth defect the american society of anesthesiologist release a report in october of 2007 that state approximately one in four patient who have chronic pain issue were also find to have low level of vitamin d this was accord to a new study that the american society of anesthesiologist conduct their study also find that those with low level of vitamin d require high dose of morphine over a long period of time accord to the vitamin d council if you are someone who completely avoid the sun you will need to take approximately 4 000 unit of vitamin d per day you would have to drink 40 glass of milk a day or take 10 multivitamin a day to get the require amount of vitamin d naturally neither one of these method is recommend so what are we to do many people now fear the sun due to the increase awareness and prevalence of the deadly skin cancer melanoma the vitamin d council say that most people typically make about 20 000 unit of vitamin d after 20 minute of sun exposure which is about 100 time more than the daily amount of vitamin d the fda say we need tanning bed are another option to get the require amount of vitamin d also personally I will not use a tanning bed or spend excessive amount of time out in the sun due to fear of skin cancer there is another option if you are not a sun worshiper you can have your physician administer a 25 hydroxyvitamin test to determine if you have optimal level of vitamin d in your blood the vitamin d council consider optimum level to be approximately 50 nm l the 25 hydroxyvitamin test measure the amount of calcidiol a prehormone find in the blood that is produce in the liver this is consider the most reliable form of testing for vitamin d deficiency if this test show that you are indeed vitamin d deficient there is also a supplemental vitamin d3 cholecalciferol you can take in order to get the proper amount of vitamin d your body require you need to be able to find a healthy balance of sunlight but still reduce your risk of skin cancer particularly melanoma wear sunscreen every time you are in the sun and keep your sun exposure to 20 minute at a time source use for this article include immunesupport com vitamin d inadequacy may exacerbate chronic pain vitamin d council vitamin d research and research requirement link post on 07 09 08 10 07 am,neutral,1
I have an appointment to see my gyno next week and have been do research on the internet I probably have myself scare into think I may have original content I have been feel off for about 1 1 2 year last december I have what appear to my doc symptom of gall bladder problem or pancreatitis after blood work it was determined that I have neither but my liver enzyme were high not crazy high but high could this have been a ruptured ovarian cyst I was still in quite a bit of pain he game I some prilosec and tell I that if it do not go away in a few day to come back after about 5 day the pain subside since then I have been extremely fatigue some day bad than other I have off and on dull pain in my low back and sometimes sharp pain that feel like someone is thump on my kidney the pain is happen more frequently and sometimes for day at a time lately in the past 6 month my stomach have get big and my pant do not fit in the waist but still in the butt and leg even though I may have gain some weight my shirt are tight around the middle but fine in the chest area I seem to have constant stomach ache like I am hungry but when I eat I feel sick and even more bloated which make I look like I do when I was about 6 month pregnant I was talk to my mom about this and she say that one of my aunt an aunt by marriage die from ovarian cancer she was tell for month that she have an ulcer and was treat as such but have most if not all of the symptom I was complain to my mom about my question is what have everyone else experience am I just being paranoid there is no history of original content or breast cancer in my immediate family I will be demand an ultrasound and bloodwork in the hope of find out why I am have so much discomfort and pain I am tired of being uncomfortable and in pain,negative,0
hi newbie here in browse the internet last night I find something interesting and just want to post it here gluten and casein as factor responsible for the characteristic disease of chronic hepatitis c not everyone expose to hcv develop a chronic infection the rate of natural clearance is unknown because most people are not aware they are infect until the condition become chronic one know factor in chronic infection with viral hepatitis a b is selenium deficiency in malnourished population celiac disease the most easily diagnose form of gluten toxicity is know to cause selenium deficiency in well feed population celiac also cause a general deficiency of many antioxidant protein and mineral and vitamin there is a strong association between hcv and celiac disease in many population test there is an even strong association between interferon alpha treatment and celiac disease interferon alpha is the cytokine that trigger celiac disease naturally celiac disease is only the easy to diagnose of the gluten sensitivity syndrome it result in destruction of the intestinal cell vilii damage which can be detect on biopsy even so celiac is seriously underdiagnosed it is likely that anyone in new zealand with the symptom of celiac disease who is hcv positive will be tell that their symptom are due to hepatitis c testing for celiac will happen slowly and most likely not at all unless the patient insist and test for other form of gluten sensitivity is unlikely milder form of gluten sensitivity might only disrupt those gut receptor responsible for function such as immune regulation especially endorphin receptor mineral transport or absorption of specific vitamin antibody may form to the proline rich gluten gliadin and casein sequence release by peptide digestion which enter the bloodstream which then attack the proline rich collagenous tissue promote disease such as liver fibrosis and rheumatoid arthritis it so happen that the auto immune symptom associate with celiac and gluten sensitivity disease include liver and gall bladder disease and which usually resolve slowly on a strict gluten and dairy free diet are essentially identical to the various syndrome see in chronic hep c especially during or after interferon alpha treatment syndrome cause by gluten in celiac disease include fibrosis and cirrhosis of the liver gall bladder obstruction insulin resistance thyroiditis sicca syndrome dry eye and mouth vasculitis brain fog poor memory confusion depression fibromyalgia fatigue optic neuritis deficiency of selenium magnesium zinc chromium deficiency of fat soluble vitamin a d e k deficiency of those vitamin convert in the intestine include folate b6 anaemia thrombocytopenic purpurea low platelet due to autoimmunity gi disturbance diarrhea steatorrhea these symptom are aggravate by the nutrient deficiency especially antioxidant magnesium and chromium deficiency associate with gluten sensitivity in fact the symptom of both hep c and celiac disease are often partially but significantly relive by supplementation of these nutrient especially when anti inflammatory botanical curcumin grape seed ginkgo milk thistle and so on are add other treatment effective against hep c have obvious link to gluten sensitivity for example low dose naltrexone may exert its beneficial effect on cancer autoimmune disease and viral immunity by repair damage do to endorphin receptor by gluten and casein digest similarly enzyme therapy for cancer may work by promote the complete digestion of gluten and casein exorphin and the ketogenic diet for cancer may work by eliminate grain and lower insulin level and hence inflammation rather than merely by deprive cancer cell of glucose exorphin are chemical find in protein digest the peptide produce by pepsin digestion of food protein which have an affinity for endorphin receptor endorphin are the messenger of emotion and gluten sensitivity is very often find in schizophrenia autism adhd asperger and the various mood disorder however the endorphin system also regulate the immune system and defect of endorphin and endorphin receptor are associate with cancer and autoimmune disease as well as aid endorphin also regulate gut motility the well know constipate effect of cheese is an opioid effect even people who have no gluten antibody and no leaky gut which allow gluten digest to enter the bloodstream in especially large dose are influence by the opioid effect of exorphin at the local gut level diagnose non celiac gluten and casein sensitivity without exclusion diet is difficult if not impossible commonly in new zealand a scratch test for gluten is the doctora s first choice this is bad than useless because we are not talk about an allergy to gluten at all though these do exist when gluten milk and maize are digest in the stomach by pepsin and hydrochloric acid a variety of peptide are release the exact combination of peptide that might appear in the gut vary with the individual the state of his digestion and the strain of wheat milk or maize consume gliadomorphin is a characteristic wheat exorphin beta casomorphin 7 is think to be the most toxic milk exorphin and the maize exorphin have not yet been identify autoimmune reaction to antigenic peptide is not the only way in which exorphin can harm we so the current insistence on immunological testing seem limited also current test do not include antibody to every possible peptide digest of gluten this would probably be impossible luckily no one need to eat grain our ancestor get along in well health without they for million of year grain consumption is a comparatively recent phenomenon in human history very recent indeed in some case in northern europe and in colonized oceania it is a habit of mere century if that in part of the world where grain eating go back long for example the eastern mediterranean there is a high rate of adaptation this do not mean that individual adapt to grain individual die young or become sterile if they lack the more grain adapt gene in order that the race might adapt but this still do not rule out the disease of late life study of remain of grain dependent society such as rome and ancient egypt show that so call a moderna disease such as arthritis and cancer were prolific there it is trendy to think that such disease result from technology radiation pesticide food processing and that it can be prevent with an organic vegetarian diet the sad truth is that in most case wheat and milk even organic wheat and milk a product of the old agricultural revolution a are do more harm than those trace of the modern industrial revolution that we can not avoid if our immune system and our detox enzyme can not cope with some new agricultural

creature agricultural man kill for money pay other to kill for he and burn down the forest to plant his cash crop if this was original sin then the wage of sin have indeed been death it is customary to blame lead pipe for the decline of rome the roman people were highly wheat addict they would riot for bread a bread and circusesa was the formula for keep they happy they were so addicted that the state find it more convenient to supply bread for free like a methadone clinic for the opiate of the people today the state oversee the addition of gluten milk and maize to an ever widen range of food so that a mere bread shortage is not likely to cause withdrawal this is probably not intentional addict tend to assume that everyone want to share their habit in the case of rome wheat and lead may have have a synergistic toxicity both lead poisoning and wheat consumption tend to reduce iron and zinc absorption this is why celiac child are often of short stature the romans would have become

there is hope for all autoimmune disease cellular healing since pa is just one of the hundred of autoimmune disorder it is possible to improve pa symptom without b12 injection or high dose of supplementation the key is to heal the cell and get they to communicate and respond as they should with an unhealthy immune system the cell mistake what s healthy and what s not and begin to attack everything cause a host of illness such as allergy joint pain spinal deterioration gastrointestinal disorder and disease to cancer they are find out that tcell play a very important part in the battle of cancer treatment and they are study and utilize tcell now in the fight if a person know how to treat themselves on a cellular level it would probably reduce the high cost of medical in this country deepak chopra is just one of many that have study the importance of cellular healing and how different part of the body cell regenerate at different level the liver cell take 6 week the stomach line 3 day the eye 48 hour one thing that deepak discuss that I fe totally facinate is traumatic memory dr chopra say all of we have what he call a phantom memoriesa store inside our cell what he mean is that inside the degenerative cell lie a traumatic memory and before that degenerative cell die it actually pass on its memory to the next cell generation being bear so the new cell is bear as an exact replica of the previous cell thus the cell keep replicate themselves pass on the degenerative memory from one generation to the next and so on cell memory retain ill cause information http www healingtransformation com cellular heal php deepak book quantum healing is must read if you have not do so yet as well as code of life I recommend any who is suffer from an autoimmune disease to read both I have start a cellular healing program and I for the first time in year can honestly say I am start to feel well I have a long way to go and still have symptom of joint pain inflammation and so on and I may always have that since I have sustain physical injury but the symptom have been reduce dramatically my stomach issue are nearly go it is impairative that I stay on a healthy healing diet go back to nature in my diet have been one of the good thing I could have do eliminate all grain not just wheat but all was the second good thing I do now the third is the cellular healing program I strongly urge you all to read and educate yourself on cellular healing,neutral,1
it is been a live nightmare I will explain the good I can my mom have always been health consious non smoker non drinker do not eat alot have always stay around 125 130 1bs I consider her prob one of the healthy people I know well around christmas I notice she was pale I remember say mom your as white as a ghost a couple week later she go to the doc because of acid reflux they give she 2 med for it now my mom have know that she is anemic for the last 4 year or so but we never think anything of it I think I ask she before and she say somthe like it is common so about 2 week after take her med for acid reflux she was in bed for 4 day this is totally unlike my mom I do not show it but I was worried inside she decide to go to the emergency room at a near hospital I will not say the name but the experience here was nothing short of horrible and a nightmare within itself that night my dad go with she to the emergency I stay home to watch the dog and go to sleep about 3 am I get a call from my dad say my mom have just receive a blood transfusion I was pretty out of it and say ok go back to sleep expect to see my mom home the next morning when I wake up around 8 nobody was up so I watch a movie towards the end my dad came stumble in the kitchen with this awful look on his face he have tear I immediatly demand he to tell I what was wrong and he say they think mom get colon cancer I go into shock I do not beleive it I have so many emotion go through my mind I think I might die right there myself we then have to tell my sister and my young brother it was so hard we go to the hospital and it seem so surreal there she was and she do not even look sick the doc say the next step is a colonostomy forgive my spelling where they go inside and look around we were in the wait game stage now I guess wait the first person to walk in was my mom gastrologist stomach doctor the look on this guy face could be bad than death itself he say it is a colon cancer my dad ask how bad on a scale of 1 10 he say 9 5 10 he then say she need immeadiate surgery and that its spread to the liver he say she will need chemo rad and it will basically prolong the inevitable the next person to see we was her oncologist who basically say the same thing then we meet the surgeon this guy could have been possese by a demon or in fact be the devil himself he look at my mom in the cold way show no interest in care for she and if she try to say anything he would cut she off he even complain while sit on her bed say how lousy his day was at one point he tell she that her colon could fall apart in his hand and he would have to put a bag there at this point I know this was not the doctor for my mom my entire family agree on this we request a new doctor and a new hospital I personally speak with the person in charge and they agree if you are not comfortable with the doc you should find another one she say she would be in the room around 9 am to set up arangment I stay with my mom every min I just do not trust anyone in this hospital and at around 6 am I awake to my mom gasrologist talk to my mom say he know she want another hospital and doctor but he do not see it happen wth my mom then tell he she do not feel safe or comfortable with doctor a we can call he the gastrologist close the door and say off the record I would not let he operate on my colon again wth I m think there s no way on god green earth I m let my mom get anything from this hospital my family feel the same way include my mom alot more crazy stuff go on for the next hour then my mom oncologist come in say that they can not get another doctor and doctor a will have to do the surgery then about 30 min later guess who walk in the door doctor a this guy have some nerve he look at my mom and know she do not want he to work on her try to be as nice as he can without bruise his ego that s the size of god know what I was right there your still on the clear diet good good well get antibiotic in you tommorow when do you want the surgery laugh out loud this guy was a basket case after this we then decide to leave this hospital my mom sign out they try to make she stay we want another opinion we then take she to a well well know hospital that specialize in heart care a well hospital nontheless here she was treat with respect and not like a lab rat the doc get the scan and whatever info they need send from the other

below is aan interesting article by a the institue of traditonal medicine in portland oregon they have an immuno enhancement clinic http www itmonline org iep index htm http www itmonline org art hepcup htm update on hepatitis c treatment by subhuti dharmananda ph d director institute for traditional medicine portland oregon since publication of the september 1998 start group manuscript hepatitis c recent treatment strategy revision and update of a 1996 report call for new information have been one of the dominant theme of practitioner contact with itm this come about for several reason test for hepatitis c have been accelerate and finding of new case many of which are entirely asymptomatic or nearly asymptomatic regularly the main symptom report is fatigue are appear modern medical treatment are still far from satisfactory side effect deter many people from start or complete a treatment and patient question whether the success is permanent give the short time available for follow up since introduction of the current treatment rebetron interferon plus ribavirin currently few than 50 of patient are expect to have prolong suppression of the virus as a result of the rebetron treatment failure to educate the public about the disease have lead to undue fear for example despite the fact that about 80 of those with hepatitis c virus are not expect to suffer from any clinically significant liver damage during their lifetime virtually all those diagnose with the disease are in fear of the most serious consequence and doctor are quick to recommend immediate treatment even when there is little evidence of disease progression chinese herbal therapy that are report to alleviate symptom and reduce liver inflammation as indicate by serum level of indicator liver enzyme are frequently dismiss as worthless because they do not eliminate the virus viral load reduction are not usually report new idea for treatment are seek virtually all the experience of use chinese herb for hepatitis c is in china where the situation surround hepatitis c have the follow characteristic that are different from those encounter here chinese patient are not routinely screen for the hepatitis c virus the virus is only discover in patient who are symptomatic for liver disease who are instruct to go to certain city hospital for testing even then testing may be limit to general hepatitis indicator such as elevated liver enzyme and not for determine the particular virus that is not distinguish hepatitis b from c in china herbal therapy that reduce or remove symptom and that reduce or remove liver inflammation are consider to be highly effective if the disease symptom appear again later they are simply treat again test for viral load is rarely do it is very expensive and not readily available in china and viral load change are not currently a primary objective of the therapy the combination of interferon plus ribavirin use in the west involve drug that are not readily available to chinese patient they are extremely expensive in a limited economy therefore chinese herb are a standard method of therapy and in that set the result are not usually compare and contrast to the unavailable western medical treatment when a patient arrive at your office with no significant symptom of liver disease and with limited elevation of liver enzyme they are present a case that for all practical purpose have not been previously subject to treatment by chinese herb similarly when a patient ask you to provide an herbal treatment to reduce viral load or to eliminate the virus they are ask you to attain a treatment objective that have not been the subject of much clinical evaluation far when a patient ask your advice whether to pursue chinese herb or the current standard therapy or to pursue both or to do they consecutively the patient is ask you about a clinical situation that have not been the subject of either extensive prior experience or carefully design clinical trial this is a new area that must be consider carefully before proceed follow is a summary of new information that have been make available to itm that may help practitioner well understand the situation refer to the original article hepatitis c recent treatment strategy for further background information on the disease and its treatment in china 1 the herb to use several herbal formula were describe in hepatitis c recent treatment strategy base on an extensive review of chinese literature since that time only a few additional article have come to light but they do not go any far towards answer the question are there any herb specific for inhibit the hepatitis c virus instead the possibility is raise that herb formula primarily function to help restore and maintain the liver cell without affect the virus itm receive a translation of an article on hepatitis c by chen liping and colleague work in guangdong that have been publish in 1995 1 the focus of the article was the role of blood stasis in the progression of hepatitis c the symptom of blood stasis in hepatitis c patient were list as include linger or prick pain below the axilla pain is fix immovable mass below the axilla fix immovable feel painful to the touch purple or dark coated tongue with plaque or petechia varicosity and blood stasis beneath the tongue distention of vein in the abdominal cavity cinnabar palm discoloration of the palm show dark red spider nevus spider vein if the disease have one of the chief symptom of pain or mass below the axilla and one or more of the confirm sign of discoloration and or venous distention then the blood stasis type is deem present one can readily see that this indicate an advanced form of the disease in the discussion section of the article the author state internal retention of blood stasis is the basic pathological change in chronic hepatitis and is also an important mark for the unfavorable turn in the condition of the disease the formula they recommend was huoluo xiaoling dan efficacious powder for vitalize the luo vessels luo vessels correspond to vein the chief ingredient report were cinnamon twig red peony persica hoelen and moutan this is the traditional cinnamon and hoelen formula guizhi fule wan present in the jingui yaolue that is use for blood stasis syndrome especially when there is abdominal pain or mass some modification suggest were oldenlandia and sedum chuipencao for damp heat buffalo horn and rubia for blood heat malt and gallu for spleen deficiency for more information on sedum see tibetan herbal medicine sedum is a relative of rhodiola and describe in that article another report receive by itm was a translation from a study conduct during 1995 in zhejiang at an infectious disease hospital 2 the typical symptom report were fatigue lack of appetite yellow urine pain in the portal area dull complexion dull red tongue and yellow sticky tongue coat the formula use for treatment was call jiedu huoxue tang decoction to clear toxin and vitalize blood comprise of 40 gram sedum 30 gram each of lobelia oldenlandia red peony and salvia plus 15 gram each of turtle shell pangolin scale and hoelen in addition herb could be add for specific symptom such as magnolia bark and chih ko for abdominal distention of 18 patient so treat for four month it was report that all but 4 case respond obviously there were 3 case 17 in which it was say that the viral test turn negative no detail of test method give the author state that in the long run patient with hepatitis c suffer from damp heat accumulate in the spleen stomach liver and gallbladder block the smooth flow of qi and blood stasis show up when the chronic illness get into the luo vessel the formula ingredient were select to clear heat and toxin move blood and break stasis and soften hardness and disperse accumulation the author recommend use high dose for all herb in the september 1998 issue of the english language journal of traditional chinese medicine an article appear on treatment of hepatitis c with a self design formula 3 accord to the author their analysis of tcm theory and their experience of patient lead to a conclusion that the disease should be interpret as stagnation of toxic heat and injury in the liver and spleen they pay particular attention to tongue and pulse diagnosis and find that the majority of patient have a dark purple tongue or other sign of blood stasis a yellowish and greasy tongue coating or other sign of damp heat and a thready and taut pulse characteristic of liver stagnation the follow formula was use as the basis for treatment buffalo horn hu chang red peony astragalus lycium bupleurum citrus hoelen and abrus jigucao the proportion were not state the mixture was make as a syrup give in two dose of 60 ml each the author report that 15 of 60 patient 25 have their viral load drop to below detection for three consecutive reading as a result of this therapy also another 19 patient 32 have a negative pcr polymerase chain reaction read after treatment but some evidence of persistence of the liver disease at first this sound very encouraging because the result appear to be somewhat similar in term of pcr effect to what is obtain with modern medical therapy minus the severe side effect unfortunately on close examination the report result of the pcr test are suspect there is not a single detail of how the pcr test was conduct in order to give one any sense of whether the testing was do properly there were no statement of the low viral load able to be detect as important there were no statement of duration of therapy or duration of follow up with the pcr test another report from china that describe pcr test with result turn negative after treatment that describe the use of oxymatrine major alkaloid component of sophora root have already been relay in the itm article see also sophora in that case the rate of effectiveness for get the viral load to decline below detection was about 40 comparable to the modern drug therapy unfortunately that initial report which was publish a second time in english in the journal of integrated chinese and western medicine have not been follow up with report of any large study with this substance only 17 patient have complete the original trial the item use injectable oxymatrine is not available for use in the west but itm was able to acquire oral oxymatrine and make it available to practitioner since 1998 at this time itm have receive no report of hepatitis c viral load drop below detection in patient take this oral form it is possible that the injectable form by yield a high blood level is more effective than the oral form but it is also possible that the test for pcr use in the publish chinese report were not reliable one in the article this is the total information about the pcr test method present serum hcv rna were determine by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction therefore at this time the question of whether the chinese have succeed in reduce or eliminate temporarily or permanently the hepatitis c virus remain unresolved the herbal therapy for hepatitis c use in china have been devise on the basis of traditional consideration certain herb are use if the syndrome involve damp heat other for blood stasis yet other for spleen qi deficiency and so on of all the herb available for treat each of these syndrome only a few are mention frequently these herb are choose on the basis of prior experience treat hepatitis mostly hepatitis a and hepatitis b as well as some influence of modern research study find active constituent that reduce liver enzyme in laboratory animal experiment in which the animal are subject to toxic chemical as an inducer of liver damage among the most frequently use herb consider all the report are those include in a prescription design at itm call bupleurum gardenia tablet which contain bupleurum red peony astragalus oldenlandia gardenia and forsythia no study have come to the itm office that would suggest that an individual herb or active constituent is a specific or general inhibitor of hepatitis c viral replication red peony and oldenlandia appear to be the herb that are more commonly use for hepatitis c than for other hepatitis type a traditional style diagnosis follow by the correspond herbal therapy remain the standard method of treatment in china when differential diagnosis and treatment is not practical complex formula base on address the most commonly manifest symptom and sign may be use patient with no symptom and only a diagnosis of have a virus infect their liver do not have a clear recourse at this time there is no viable evidence that formula design for highly symptomatic patient will have an impact on those without symptom in japan glycyrrhizin from licorice and ursodeoxycholic acid from bile have been test individually together and in combination with interferon therapy for hepatitis c see appendix 1 these active ingredient derive from traditional medicine were able to lower liver enzyme but not viral load 2 effect of the herb describe outside of china in addition to the clinical report from china indicate reduction of symptom and reduction of liver enzyme itm have receive a number of informal case report either verbally or in write from american practitioner who have give chinese herb to their hepatitis c patient in general patient who have significantly elevate liver enzyme prior to the chinese herb treatment are report to show a decline of liver enzyme over a period of several week as an example itm was recently send the follow datum 5 on a patient who was take salvia ligustrum tablet seven forest make with salvia ligustrum licorice hu chang curcuma atractylode and schizandra at the recommend therapeutic dosage use in a chinese clinical evaluation 9 tablet three time daily date of test ast alt 1 12 00 379 538 2 03 00 159 279 2 29 00 138 167 the patient have begin take herb just a few day after the first test 1 12 00 and one can see significant improvement in the value after about 2 week with further improvement over the next 4 week in this case the patient have significant liver inflammation accord to report receive at itm it is common for the laboratory test result to indicate marked improvement in liver enzyme over a similar time course when the patient is regularly use the chinese herb among the report are case of liver enzyme return to the normal range for the above test lab the normal range is less than 32 usually after a few month of therapy a practitioner who have consult frequently with itm regard hepatitis c treatment publish two case from her practice in 1997 6 the liver enzyme result were report as follow patient 1 patient 2 date of test ast alt date of test ast alt 8 95 50 81 12 94 223 185 12 95 39 65 9 95 132 86 4 96 34 52 5 96 98 89 9 96 33 56 the first test report in each of the two case are from before treatment and the follow one are during treatment the duration of the treatment here 13 18 month is long than report above 6 week the very dramatic effect see with the high initial level of liver enzyme have been relay to itm by several other practitioner some patient are say to have a dramatic improvement of liver enzyme level even if their viral load go up rather than down report of dramatic decline in viral load have been rare in the start report two case history of hepatitis c treatment base on treatment at the itm clinic one example was give of a patient who have an extremely high viral load 13 million that reduce markedly below 2 million during a few month of treatment accord to the clinician make that report the patient have continue to maintain the relatively low viral load ever since even without substantial herbal therapy a course of low dosage constitutional herb therapy is all that is say to be use the initial viral load was much high than typical for patient being see in chinese medical practice dr qingcai zhang work in new york city have been provide herbal formula for patient with hepatitis c for several year the material administer include herbal formula in capsule contain dry extract glycyrrhizin tablet and oleanolic acid tablet zhang have distribute background information receive by itm in a fax message of 1998 include four successful case study among the report effect of treatment were decline of liver enzyme reduction of symptom and reduction of fibrosis compare to early biopsy in one case in which viral load was say to be reduce he report that the initial viral load was 14 million and that this was reduce to 500 000 after treatment as with the other case of viral load decline mention above the initial level is extremely high the reduce viral load after treatment in both those case was still quite high compare to typical patient despite the marked change dr zhang claim that use this protocol above 80 of the patient will see their liver enzyme level normalize within about two to three month if there was jaundice the yellow color can be clear within three week subjective symptom such as fatigue nausea and poor appetite can be improve within three to four week the dull pain in the liver area will be relieve within a few week after two to three month take the herb biopsy will show reduction of inflammation in many patient the viral load will be reduce although the effect are note within a few week or month he recommend that treatment proceed for at least two year in an attempt to clear the liver of the virus via the normal turnover of liver cell with lifespan of about 18 month a small double blind clinical trial of a chinese herb formula for hepatitis c was carry out in australia and publish as a preliminary report 7 forty patient were divide equally into two group one receive herb tablet 5 tablet three time daily and the other receive placebo it was find that those take the herb have a significant reduction in alt the enzyme most commonly use as a reference for hepatitis c since it is the one most significantly affect by the disease but not in viral load the author conclude that chinese herbal medication was associate with a significant reduction in alanine aminotransferase alt level over the 6 month study period no patient clear the virus but four normalize their alt on treatment appropriately prescribe chinese herbal medicine may have a role in the management of chronic hepatitis c and far control study are indicate the formula use include salvia red peony and tien chi ginseng sanqi in japan the use of injectable glycyrrhizin for treatment of chronic hepatitis c reportedly reduce the progression of this liver disease to hepatocellular carcinoma see appendix 1 a study was conduct in the netherlands 8 to evaluate the effect of glycyrrhizin on alt and hepatitis c viral load fifty seven patient with chronic hepatitis c non responder or unlikely to respond to interferon therapy were randomize to one of the four dose group of glycyrrhizin 240 160 80 mg or 0 mg placebo the herbal drug was give intravenously 3 day per week for 4 week follow up also last for 4 week it was report that within 2 day of start of therapy serum alt have drop 15 in the three non placebo dosage group the mean alt decrease at the end of active treatment was 26 significantly high than the placebo group 6 a dose response effect was not observe however indicate that the low dosage treatment work about the same as the high dosage treatment normalization of alt at the end of treatment occur in 10 4 of 41 of patient receive glycyrrhizin the effect on alt disappear after cessation of therapy the duration of therapy was relatively short compare to most standard hepatitis c treatment of 3 6 month and the frequency of treatment was half that usually use in japan where the drug is give 6 time per week during treatment viral clearance was not observe there was a slight but non significant decline in the active treatment group no major side effect were note none of the patient withdraw from the study because of intolerance in the you s a small trial was conduct in california in which patient receive a complex herbal mixture for six month the formula was design on the basis of a prescription being use by a chinese doctor in california who claim success in treat the disease as well as on the basis of formula describe in the chinese literature itm acquire the herbal extract and prepare the tablet for the study patient treatment begin in september 1999 with continue enrollment for some month afterward although the clinical trial result have not yet been fully tabulate and report the lead investigator e stern who publish the two case study in reference 6 relay the fact that liver enzyme improvement were note but that the pcr test do not show an improvement this is consistent with all other report itm have receive from practitioner use a variety of herbal combination for hepatitis c another trial of chinese herbal therapy for hepatitis c is being carry out in minnesota with the help of an acupuncturist who have previously observe the treatment of hepatitis c patient in guangdong china 9 the double blind placebo control evaluation of an herbal extract formula ingredient list to be release when the trial is complete is fund by the national institutes of health nih as part of their evolve alternative medicine program thus far only 2 patient out of a total of at least 40 to be enrol have complete treatment and another 8 are take the herb or placebo at the time of this writing enrollment have been slow partly because the protocol require patient to delete use of potentially confound substance such as milk thistle extract silymarin see appendix 2 use of such substance is common among those who are interested in take herbal formula for the disease treatment time in this study is just 3 month and the researcher hope to complete the treatment and report result by the end of 2001 liver enzyme versus viral load assay the ability of herbal therapy to reduce liver enzyme while have the viral load remain essentially the same as appear to occur in most instance may seem contradictory viral load is a measure of hepatitis c virus that have been release into the blood stream in order to be release the virus must reproduce usually many million of copy within a single cell and then burst the liver cell destroy it and release its enzyme into the blood along with the virus one might expect that the liver enzyme level would remain somewhat proportional to the viral load however it is possible that in the untreated patient the viral reproduction is result in what might be term collateral damage destroy liver cell that are not currently yield the virus for example the enzyme nitric oxide no synthetase is stimulate in person with hepatitis c and the increase output of no may be cause the collateral damage if the herb protect these other cell from the secondary damage by squelch the no effect then the marker liver enzyme will be reduce even cell with active virus continue to pour out their enzyme when they break down to release the viral particle patient who experience a lowering of liver enzyme level are usually encourage by the fact that the improve level are close to or within the laboratory normal range however at close examination it is realize that the test result in these patient are usually near the upper part of the range e g in the patient depict above who have ast decline to 33 the laboratory normal range was 0 37 at the same time the alt remain just above the upper normal level of 40 being last report at 56 thus while the enzyme level after treatment may be deem normal or near normal the figure are usually consistent with there being a certain level of liver inflammation or damage still occur a hepatitis c viral load of many thousand might involve destruction of a small enough number of cell that the liver enzyme level will be near the top of the normal range these cell are dump huge amount of virus into the blood stream just as they were before consistently it is find in laboratory animal that chinese herb that are clinically useful for treat viral hepatitis protect liver cell from damage due to chemical this kind of testing was do for example with the previously mention hepatitis c treatment in syrup form 3 there is no evidence as yet that these herb halt the virus from reproduce chinese report from laboratory animal experiment and limited work with human suggest that some herb such as salvia use for vitalize blood can limit liver fibrosis a condition that lead to permanent damage at this time it can not be confirm whether or not this take place most patient in the you s who come to acupuncturist for treatment have early stage hepatitis c and do not have before and after biopsy to prove the condition of their liver however interferon alpha therapy is report to reduce liver fibrosis even in patient who do not have clearance of the virus as a result of the treatment so reduction of fibrosis is a reasonable objective of therapy that are not able to clear the virus or reduce viral load accord to liver biopsy specialist liver enzyme level in hepatitis c patient have relatively little correlation with the extent of liver damage thus whether the alt level are high or low do not inform a patient about the condition of their liver this do not mean that lower the liver enzyme by use of herb or drug is not protective but only that the enzyme level can not be count on to accurately reflect the change that may occur in the liver 3 dosage issue chinese clinical report frequently describe mark therapeutic outcome from treatment that utilize high dose of herb more limited clinical effect may result from a similar herbal formula give at the low dosage commonly apply in the west if the chinese report of the viral load fall below detection reflect a true result rather than poor methodology then the apparent failure of most western patient to attain the same result might be due to inadequate dosing in the case of oxymatrine the chinese method of therapy involve injection of the herb alkaloid this method of application is not available here and would not be use due to the unknown level of risk the dosage of oral oxymatrine that itm recommend is the same as that use in the injection form total daily dose 600 mg high oral dose as might be need to attain the same blood level as with the injection are not recommend due to concern about potential side effect or toxicity although the chinese report of the injection treatment do not include serious adverse effect the number of patient is small and infrequent problem are easily miss alkaloid have the potential for serious reaction if the dosage is high enough no evident adverse response have been report to itm for use of oral oxymatrine in the dose of 3 4 tablet daily take one tablet at a time as recommend and the beneficial effect on liver enzyme appear to be attainable in the case of the glycyrrhizin treatment japanese clinician report a persisting effect of the treatment but the netherlands study do not find that 8 the liver enzyme rebound shortly after discontinue the herb drug injection however the japanese doctor apply the treatment twice as often as the european doctor who conduct the study which may explain the discrepancy glycyrrhizin can accumulate with frequent administration to yield a high blood level a formula describe in the early itm publication is qe tui fang one of the first herbal prescription report in the chinese literature to successfully treat hepatitis c patient this formula have been make available by itm as granule dry decoction that are reconstitute to an instant tea preparation and recommend at a dosage of 18 27 gram day this is the high dosage level recommend by itm for this form of herb preparation typical dosing of such dry decoction in japan and taiwan where they are commonly use is 6 9 gram which is a low dosage form itm recommend up to a maximum of 3 time this amount for treatment of some disease if the chinese literature indicate that application of the high dosage yield desire effect but few or no side effect the chinese report on which this treatment method is base indicate the follow dosage for the formula ingredient qe tui fang salvia 30 g red peony 30 g astragalus 30 g forsythia 30 g gardenia 15 g crataegus 15 g moutan 15 g dandelion 15 g ho shou wu 15 g bupleurum 10 g the total dosage is 205 gram a relatively high amount though not inconsistent with other preparation recommend in china accord to supplier of the dry extract the typical herb extract is a 5 1 concentration which mean that 5 gram of crude herb yield 1 gram of the dry extract the amount of extract correspond to 205 gram would then be 41 gram or about 50 more than the high dose recommend for the granule preparation by itm 27 gram at 41 gram the cost and inconvenience would probably render the treatment unusable although adverse reaction were not report in the chinese medical journal article on qe tui fang americans frequently report discomfort or adverse reaction to the high dosage decoction regardless of formula composition itm have receive a small number of report of adverse reaction from take the qe tui fang at the dosage of 18 27 gram per day in patient with spleen deficiency for example 10 one patient report feeling wipe out fatigued from take the formula she was then switch to a formula that treat spleen qi deficiency and accumulation of dampness the formula was not aim at treat hepatitis c but only at her constitutional syndrome which give the opposite effect she feel energized while this experience emphasize the importance of check the patient total syndrome before prescribe a set formula it also point to the fact that adverse response may be experience and caution must be use in administer large amount of herb 4 propose guideline patient with hepatitis c usually approach practitioner of chinese herbal medicine with the hope of find an alternative to the standard medical treatment in addition they usually hope to cure the disease the standard medical treatment currently recommend is particularly unattractive to many people both drug in use at the time of this report produce side effect in many patient include some potentially serious long term effect for a few patient the chance of remove the virus entirely or put it into remission for many month or year is limit therefore the medical treatment might be regard as a resort for those who can not easily,neutral,1

I just think I would get this out there I do post it in my journal but only my friend on here have access to it it was very hard to write as it is still painful for I but am hope share it will help first off I was abuse by multiple people at different time so I guess it is easiest to take one at a time my first abuser was my babysitter when I was 4 year old she was 16 and she turn out to be the babysitter from hell when she start babysitte for I and my old brother and also my cousin during the brief time she and my aunt live with we she was never nice to I ever she use to lock I in the closet whenever she feel I was being bad or I was get on her nerve it totally terrify I and she would laugh about it she would also dangle rubber spider in my face and laugh hysterically when I would start scream and cry one day when I was take a nap she come in my room and proceed to lie in bed next to I she put her hand down my pantie and start to rub my genital area I tell she I do not like it and she say do not worry you will it will feel good I start to cry and she get angry and tell I to stop being such a big baby she then go and get a pop bottle and insert it into I she use various other object on I also she use a butter knife and a wooden spoon handle she keep do this and I was try not to cry as I know it would just anger she and she would lock I in the closet again she do this until she make I orgasm which at 4 year old I have never hear of I never know a 4 year old could even have an orgasm she do this pretty much every time she babysat for we and on a couple of occasion she have I sit in her lap while she fondle I and then make I feel she up by massage her breast I can only guess that she must have do it to my old brother as well because he eventually too start abuse I sexually when I was 6 until I was 14 I am not sure if she molest my cousin or not she was only a year old my brother was 8 then he is 4 year old than I am I hate what she do to I but I hate myself more I was so confused because she make I orgasm so in the back of my mind I was question myself say maybe I do like it I mean at least on some level since she make I come I never tell anyone because she always threaten to hurt I if I do she even have I convince that no one would believe I if I do tell so until now write here I never do tell anyone I am now 45 year old and it is now juste come out most of my nightmare are about she and what she do to I no wonder I spend so much time wonder if I was a lesbian I mean it was a female molesting I I will never forget her face when she was do these thing she was smile she was purely evil after I have been abuse by my babysitter at age 4 I start being molest by my brother at age 6 he is 4 5 year old than I am I figure he was probably molest by our babysitter too and that is why he start abuse I the first time I remember it happen was when we were take a bath my mom think it would be a good idea for my brother and I to bathe together to this day I still do not know what the hell she was think while we were in the bathtub he reach over and start put his finger in I I tell he I do not want he do that but he say it was fine and that it would make I feel good I tell he I do not like it but he say he just want to be close to I and that if I love he I should just let he do it well he was my big brother and I do love he and I want he to love I so I let he this go on for a while he just fondle I another time when were take a bath he tell I he want I to give he oral sex and I say no so he shove my head under the water and force his penis in my mouth he make I suck on it and then when he come I want to spit it out as it make I sick but he would not let I he make I swallow it I seriously want to throw up this go on for a long time until I was about 9 or 10 we were not always bathe together though sometimes it was late at night after our parent go to bed and he would come into my room when I was about 9 or 10 he come into my room one night and decide he want we to have sex I tell he no because he is my brother and it is not right he say if I love he I would do it I say yes I do love you but I do not want to but he just crawl in bed with I and start rape I he jam his penis into I so hard it hurt I want to scream but he cover my mouth with his hand and tell I to shut up or someone would hear we and we d get in trouble so I just continue to lie there until it was over I pretend to be somewhere else just so I could deal I hate it but I want he to love I so I let he keep do it every night one night he even have a friend stay over and they both take turn rape I while one would have sex with I the other one would force I to perform oral sex anytime this friend stay over this would happen this all happen night after night until I was 14 the friend was only there for two year as we move away when I was 11 then it was just I and my brother again I still feel so guilty about this because some of the time I would orgasm and I actually think I like sex with he I hate it but like it at the same time I feel like a dirty disgusting tramp and I was always so horrified someone would find out and I would get into big trouble I still feel guilty sometimes about this I feel like I should have tell but I was terrify and still am if people know they would hate I this have mess I up so bad I am 45 now and it still mess with my head at one time I would go around have sex with guy I do not know just because I need it so much and want to have that orgasm I hate myself so much after this happen and I just want to crawl into a hole and die I actually do try to kill myself when I was 14 I think if I was dead he could not hurt I anymore it still have not go away completely even though he live in another state now and I almost never see he I have never tell anyone except a counselor I was see who die of liver cancer last year more recently I tell a friend who I have never meet in person but just know from online no detail just that my brother sexually abuse I I still live in fear of people know it suck,positive,2

it is complicate by jodi scott 2 hour ago it always is when it come to elinor health but as her oncologist say today you re not average but no one is so let we start from top to bottom cover the ct scan as we do with the doctor the lung were clear the clot are still there but small but they do not see the nodule that was previously there the liver tumor are all small some much small the previously 5 cm pancreatic mass is now 2 9 cm she do have some ascite which is an accumulation of fluid in the abdoman make by the cancer cell this is contribute to she bloat and fullness the red herring is the ovary both ovary have increase in size the left is just cystic and likely benign the right ovary is now 11 6 cm and complex appear so what do this mean that is the million dollar question it could represent a mixed response to chemotherapy some of the pancreatic cancer is respond and some is not or this could mean a second process possibly something call a borderline ovarian tumor which mean it can behave like a malignant tumor but is usually much slow grow or much less likely a second ovarian primary cancer the only definitive way to answer this question is with surgery the issue with that blood thinner and chemotherapy we would have to stop the lovenox which would risk a recurrence of a pulmonary embolus blood clot in the lung and we would have to stop chemotherapy for at least 3 week which would not be the end of the world but I would really prefer not to do that since were see a response so in the end we all agree to proceed with a paracentesis as the next step so we will go into radiology tomorrow morning and they will drain off the ascite in the abdomen through a very small needle this provide 2 benefit first it will hopefully help improve the bloating and fullness second they will send the fluid to lab to see if there is any way to determine what type of cell are in the ascite probably not high yield but worth send elinor also have an mri to re evaluate the lesion on her sacrum that was discover on an mri do on 12 26 13 this have grow slightly but do not change the plan in any way follow the doctor appointment we proceed with chemotherapy as plan elinor will have tumor marker draw every 2 week and scan repeat in 8 week they will follow a ca 125 which is a tumor marker that can be associate with ovarian cancer and borderline ovarian tumor other thing can make this elevate so it is not highly specific but the general trend may give we some answer she ca 19 9 which is the tumor marker we are follow for the pancreatic cancer have drop over time and was down to 28 000 on february 26th she have one draw today but we would not get those result back until thursday or friday now well move on to the mg neurology talk for all of you out there whom elinor so gratefully rely upon for support after do some investigate I personally in my ob gyn opinion wink wink think it is more likely that elinor have lem lambert eaton myasthenic syndrome which is highly associate with a malignancy and her symptom just seem to fit this pattern well than mg we ask elinor oncologist if he could order a voltage gate calcium channel antibody which can help diagnose this and he was more than happy to add this on to her other lab work it would be silly not to this is not always positive in lem but if it is then that is a slam dunk we can ask the neurologist for 3 4 diaminopyridine 3 4 dap which should improve her symptom for muscle weakness well than the mestinon alone now well move on to the running talk for all of her run family cheerleader and fan she have hear back from the race director of the boston mararthon and the board say yes to let she run walk just the last mile now security and the boston police department have to ok it finger and toe cross today the woman sit next to my sister in the infusion center overhear we talk and turn and say that was you in that interview when I see that I was cheer you on she wish my sister luck and tell she she was out there run for a lot of people with cancer that she have a huge group behind her elinor reply I will run for everyone who sit in one of these chair I will provide a link to the interview that she and martha do with wcco neither one of they have watch it but the rest of we are very proud of their grace feel free to share it like it on facebook tweet it anything to get the word out there http minnesota cbslocal com 2014 03 10 woman aim to finish boston marathon despite pancreatic can wowza that was a long update I do not think I have anything else to add except my final thought we can not possibly say it enough we appreciate you each and every one of you we appreciate the warm thought the kind word act of kindness the prayer the support the love everything it mean more than anyone could possibly imagine we use it to lift ourselves up in the darkest moment and make our bright moment even brighter thank you,neutral,1

hi I have enjoy read many of the post on this site and the great deal of information they provide I can be add to the high igf 1 but no apparent tumor list my igf was high on two separate occasion both around 400 mri was with without contrast but was not dynamic they take I out to administer contrast I do not know what my gh level is as it just say no result on my lab but other pituitary level allegedly normal even though the lab note say only good if take b t 8 10 am and mine was take in the afternoon shrug I leave for mayo clinic tomorrow to see what they can find if anything my question is I have see on here and many other site that people with high igf 1 with no tumor or no diagnose acro do not seem to receive treatment I do not understand that is not it the high igf 1 that cause all of the bad symptom tissue bone growth increase risk of colon cancer diabete and so on why would the doctor not treat the high igf 1 is it before christ they can only treat the pituitary if no pituitary problem then are they not able to treat the liver that secrete the igf 1 is there a part of this puzzle that I am miss my most problematic symptom is multiple nerve entrapment my endo is fairly certain that they are cause by the high igf 1 whether I have acro or a tumor or not do I face permanent nerve damage before christ they will not or can not treat the igf 1 level in absence of a tumor,neutral,1

periodic outbreak of painful sore how it is contract both herpe simplex virus 1 and virus 2 may be transmit through sex or by kiss or touch any affect area a condom can prevent herpe transmission during vaginal or anal sex but oral contact with genital or open sore anywhere can spread the disease washing hand can also minimize transmission testing your doctor will examine the sore and test fluid from the blister incubation period usually five to twenty day symptom herpes simplex virus 1 usually show up as cold sore or blister for those who have herpe simplex virus 2 some have no symptom while other may show sign of an infection from five to twenty day after have sex with an infected partner early symptom can include a burn sensation in the genital low back pain pain when urinating and flu like symptom a short while later small red bump may appear around the genital or on the mouth later these bump become painful blister which then crust over form a scab and heal treatment symptom can be relieve with medication such as acyclovir and valacyclovir stress sunburn and certain food are the primary cause of a herpe outbreak if you are not treat while herpe is not life

is hiv is the acronym for the human immunodeficiency virus a virus that attack the bodys immune system lead to full blow aid acquire immunodeficiency syndrome aids is devastating because it leave the body susceptible to life threaten infection and certain kind of cancer how it is contract through oral anal or vaginal sex and from an hiv positive mother to her baby to prevent it use a condom every

cause directly by hiv but by an infection or other condition bring on by a weaken immune system these include severe weight loss fever headache night sweat fatigue severe diarrhea shortness of breath and difficulty swallow the symptom tend to last for week or month at a time and do not go away without treatment in some case infection result in death treatment so far there is no cure for aid but some drug regimen that combine medication such as azt retrovir with ritonavir or norvir are prove effective at strengthen immunity and keep infection at bay thereby prolong the life of many aids sufferer combination drug therapy have benefit many people for year but it is still unclear how long the drug will remain effective especially since effectiveness vary significantly from person to person the drug must also be take in large quantity usually on a daily basis and there are many side effect when drug treatment is stop new symptom can arise or old one return if you re pregnant and hiv positive take azt throughout the pregnancy and during delivery can reduce the chance that the virus will be transmit to the baby if you are not treat hiv progress more rapidly into full blow aid without treatment usually because of infection that develop as a result of the patient weaken immune system hpv genital wart what it is a group of more than 70 virus some of which can lead to cervical cancer several strain of hpv cause external genital wart how it is contract through oral anal and vaginal sex and through skin to skin contact to help prevent infection use a condom it is not clear exactly how effective condom are at protect against hpv and genital wart but they will protect you against other stds include hiv testing once a woman become sexually active or by age 18 she should get an annual pap smear to detect any abnormal change in the cervix pap smear are the first line of defense against the hpv family of virus which is typically without symptom if your pap test come back abnormal your doctor will likely order a second one to confirm the result a cervical dna swab test can also be perform to identify which specific hpv virus you have only a few type of hpv have been link to cervical cancer and these are usually not the one that cause genital wart if hpv is find a colposcopy a test that examine the tissue of the vagina and cervix use a magnifying lens is usually order for genital wart the cervix and vaginal area are examine and a sample is scrape from the wart surface for diagnosis man are examine and diagnose the same way incubation period one month to several year symptom many type of hpv have no symptom though some cause visible genital wart that may be find in the vagina or urethra or on the cervix vulva penis or anus rarely they are find in the mouth or throat wart are often flesh color soft to the touch and may look like miniature cauliflower floret they usually grow in more than one area and are often painless although they may itch treatment there is no cure for hpv so treatment aim at control outbreak of wart if you have a strain that cause visible wart if a woman is diagnose with certain strain of hpv her doctor may suggest a biopsy of cervical tissue to check for sign of cancer it is important to note that many woman with hpv do not get cervical cancer but hpv infection is an important risk factor for the disease further treatment vary widely depend on what your doctor learn from a colposcopy dna testing and or a biopsy of cervical tissue to treat visible genital wart there are several chemical that can be directly apply some are prescribe for use at home other may cause discomfort and must only be use under a doctor supervision and some may not be use during pregnancy genital wart also may be remove use cryotherapy freezing burn off with electrocauterization or remove with surgery or laser in at least 30 percent of treat case the wart grow back again if you are not treat since there are strain of hpv that are link to cervical cancer fail to seek treatment can be fatal but since many type of hpv are basically harmless they need only be monitor with yearly pap smear or more frequently every three to six month if a result come back abnormal if genital wart are allow to grow without treatment they can block the vagina urethra or anus and become very uncomfortable depend on where they are on the body genital wart can cause sore and bleed an increase in the size and number of the wart is also more likely during pregnancy and when a person immune system is compromise by diabete an organ transplant hodgkin disease or hiv aid among other condition scabie what it is a mite that burrow under the skin and lay egg how it is contract through close contact or through sleep in bed or wear clothe that are infest rarely hold or shake hand can transmit scabie test a dermatologist will perform several different test on the surface of the skin incubation period as long as a week if it is

baby by touch syphilis sore chancre and then touch the baby testing diagnosis of syphilis is do through a blood test and or examination of secretion from chancre incubation period one week to three month symptom during the first stage of a syphilis infection painless sore or open ulcer may appear on the anus vagina penis or inside the mouth and occasionally on other part of the body during the second stage roughly three week to three month after the first symptom appear an infected person may experience flu like symptom and possibly hair loss or a rash on the sol and palm and in some case all over the body there are also latent phase of syphilis infection during which symptom are absent treatment antibiotic usually penicillin are prescribe if you are not treat untreated syphili can lead to serious damage to the brain and the nervous system mental deterioration a loss of balance vision and sensation leg pain and heart disease a fetus is at particular risk if the mother do not seek treatment the chance for stillbirth and serious birth defect include blindness are very high trichomoniasis what it is a bacterial infection that result in sore on the mouth throat lip anus tongue vagina or penis how it is contract you can get chancroid sore or spread they through skin to skin contact with open sore from hand that have touch a sore or from sex toy such as a vibrator or dildo that have touch a sore testing chancroid lesion can look like syphilis or genital herpe so a doctor need to analyze the discharge from the sore to get an accurate diagnosis incubation period 12 hour to five day symptom painful open sore on the genital and in some case swollen and tender lymph node in the groin area woman may be less likely to get the sore instead their symptom may include painful urination or defecation painful intercourse rectal bleeding or vaginal discharge treatment antibiotic are usually effective if you are not treat the sore that remain from an untreated chancroid infection may put you at risk for other stds as well as other type of infection talk with your partner and test now first you can talk with your partner and hopefully he or she will agree to go for test std testing is available at clinic and doctor office throughout bc it is a good idea to test before any sexual contact or as soon as possible after you start have sex you may need to retest at a later time window period and limitation of std testing std testing require some time between when a person is infect and when the test can be expect to identify the infection these are call window period or incubation period they vary from a few day to 6 month during incubation or window period an infected person can transmit the disease to someone else the window period if you are do a blood test tend to be long than for other test as they are for the most part test the person immune response rather than for the bug itself remember with std testing that you can still develop the infection after the test are take a person could therefore have receive recent negative test result yet still have an infection that could be transmit to other also while test are mostly accurate they can be falsely negative and very occasionally falsely positive how do I know when the window period begin and end it can be difficult at the beginning of a relationship to have to question each other about previous sexual contact most people therefore choose the time they decide to be mutually monogamous as the time to consider as the beginning of the window period if neither partner have have any sexual contact for 6 month or more some couple decide the window period begin 6 month before they meet and end at the time they meet they then choose not to retest this is safe as long as both partner have really not have sex for 6 month or more another option in order to cover these window period is to identify your last contact with a previous sex partner and take that as the starting point for calculate the time to retest even if you were with that partner for a long time select the last time that you have sexual contact with that person as the beginning of the window period stds are not necessarily pass every time an infected person have sex with a partner it could happen any time therefore to be safe consider the last sexual contact the time to start the clock run for the window period specific std window period gonorrhea the incubation period for gonorrhea is usually 2 to 7 day chlamydia the incubation period for chlamydia is usually 2 to 6 week but can be long syphilis the incubation period for syphilis is usually 10 to 90 day hiv the window period for hiv is usually 2 week to 3 month but could be up to 6 month hepatitis a the incubation period for hepatitis a is 15 to 50 day hepatitis b the incubation period for hepatitis b is usually 45 180 day with an average of 60 to 90 day hepatitis c the incubation period for hepatitis c range from 2 week to 6 month commonly 6 to 9 week talk with your partner about herpe wart there are no test for genital wart and herpe test are not necessarily useful herpe culture require an active lesion to be present and herpe blood test do not indicate whether the infection is genital or oral most people test positive on herpe blood test because they were expose to the virus orally as a child it is therefore a good idea to discuss these 2 disease with any new partner have you or your partner ever have genital herpe or cold sore on the mouth have either of you ever have genital wart diagnose both of these disease are common and having have either or both should not necessarily interfere with your relationship discuss these 2 disease early in a relationship can reduce the chance of transmission test later as the incubation period for chlamydia is up to 6 week you can test at or after 6 week from the start of your relationship it make sense to test for gonorrhea at the same time the blood test syphilis hiv and possibly hepatitis can be take at 3 month most result would show up on an hiv and hepatitis test within 3 month of infection but these test can be repeat 6 month into the relationship to fully cover the window period stop the use of condom one reason couple seek std testing is so that they can safely stop use condom you need to test to cover the window period for the disease and make sure any issue concern herpe and wart have been resolve heterosexual couple who are not intend to start a family need to find an alternative form of contraception many people wish to stop use condom as soon as possible as the romance intensifie and people feel more comfortable with each other it is easy to start to feel that this partner could not possibly have an std and condom are an unnecessary barrier however when the relationship is over sometimes not too long afterwards many people will regret the decision to have unprotected sex to reduce std infection it is good to reduce the number of lifetime contact in particular unprotected contact the long you use condom the well,neutral,1

I was read and come across this gem I am no professional here and I have been compile stuff for hour the question I am ask may not really relate but I feel a strong enough connection between the point that I see it as more possible than impossible and I want to share what I have been read up on a lot of folk have post here that cut back on their meat intake seem to help with control hs flare meat glue is an additive find in many form meat pink slime is different though equally disturbing in that the slime is a filler where the meat glue is actually bond the meat together at a chemical level meat glue is not require to be list on packaging meat glue is odorless and tasteless and use in all type of meat production beef chicken pork and so on and even use in high price cut of meat such as fillet mignon it have a large presence in the restaurant industry if you eat meat you have no doubt eaten meat glue once more if you do not eat meat you have probably still eat meat glue as it is the bond agent in many vegitarian or otherwise non meat product again nobody is require to list it therefore how do you actually know what is being use there are two main type of meat glue the first go by the name of fibromex and consist of blood plasma from pig and cow the follow is quote directly from the website of sonac affiliate with vion food group what is in fibromex fibrinogen that is fibrinogen enriched plasma that is blood plasma with additional fibrinogen add thrombin an enzyme which initiate the gelling and the subsequent bind process of meat or fish piece that is the enzyme which bond with the fibrinogen and the fibrinogen in the meat to make it a solid chunk plasmapowder fg is only consist a high concentration of fibrinogen there is no thrombin present in this product however the bind process of meat piece is induce by natural present thrombin also activia the yogurt have nothing to do with it completely coincidental which is a powdered form of the coagulant like enzyme transglutaminase I believe it is produce by ajinomoto but have not go too deep into research that as of write this it is already crazy long let I be clear these are both make of the same substance derrive from animal and is already present in our body there are a couple of thing that pique my interest as I was read about this I could not help draw comparison first the idea that there is something in our fat that may be cause our hs outbreak second is the case for tissue transglutaminase it is relate to gluten sensitivity also the interesting thing about tissue transglutaminase is that it have stem cell like property what this mean is it can both renew itself and it can become any type of cell live bacteria can pick up code information from dead bacteria is it possible that stem cell may pick up code information from our tissue or dead foreign transglutaminase and produce the defective or thickening of tissue most of the mri scan I have see note that there is a thickening of skin flesh in hs patient third our body are believe to have a set amount of fibrinogen as produce by our liver if fibrinogen is over abundant in our body it cause likewise an over abundance of fibrin production lead to thing like blood clot stroke heart attack and cancer but what if the amount of our fibrinogen is only synthesize by our liver in response to the amount of fibrinogen we get from our diet fourth the tnfa tumor necrose factor alpha number in hs patient are extremely high tnfa play a role in the immune system and present with inflammation one of the role it play is to break down tough tissue fibrin is a tough tissue that resist breakdown through proteolysis breakdown by enzyme fifth and this is slightly leave field brief comparison with another disease dermatitis herpetiformis dh is a skin disease that cause blister that come and go they display similar symptom such as itching redness and burn as well as fluid fill blister it is classify as autoimmune and cause by the autoantigen action of epidermal transglutaminase this respond well to change in diet limiting gluten ok so I realize how far of a stretch this might seem but the transglutaminase in meat glue can bind different type of meat I would like to see the metabolic pathway for this stuff how is it being break down and store how is it eliminate from our body and in what form are we reuse it what is it about the area where sweat gland occur most what would increase the reaction if we are treat hs patient with tnfa inhibitor is there an increase risk of cancer because our natural response are no long destroy the abnormal cell or process ok now I am just down to question and a severe lack of sleep interesting all the same hsintolerant,neutral,1

live donor are able to give a portion of their liver to another person and their liver then regenerate back to normal my theory however naive it may be is why can not a portion of a cirrhotic liver be remove hopefully to regenerate back as healthy liver my doctor say this can not be do because of excessive bleeding you would probably die apparently with a cirrhotic liver the entire thing is remove and replace with a partial healthy liver which then regenerate why could not a portion of your own cirrhotic liver be remove but not have any type of transplant just regrowth of new liver of your own it seem to I the bleeding could be control and you d end up with a healthy liver maybe 50 with cirrhosis and the other 50 newly regenerate healthy liver this is probably a stupid question but something I have been curious about any input from other on this forum,negative,0

ethical consideration regard early liver transplantation in patient with severe alcoholic hepatitis not respond to medical therapy http hepatitiscresearchandnewsupdate blogspot ca 2013 11 ethical consideration regard early html imagine being a patient and have to depend on a medical system own criterion for transplant and the ethic are clearly write that one must be at the very least 6 month abstinent from alcohol use when your gi hep doc tell you that your liver is so mess up that you need an emergency liver transplant in order to save your life because you will die within 6 month without one I personally am very grateful that I was already sober for around four year when I was tell that I need a liver transplant because of what hcv do to my liver in a relatively very short period of time since being initially expose to the virus which is very unusual also of course I also have the luxury of not need one right away and that is why I was able to wait almost 4 year to be call in with a perfect or as close to perfect match of a liver one could possibly receive and yet I have also know a few patient that I become friend with who have their own difficulty stay sober long enough to be consider for a transplant and all she or another buddy who was a highly decorate vet was able to hope for was that somehow they would be able to stay alive long enough to receive the gift of life only to die wait for one and the ironic fact about both of these friend of mine was that they were both svr for quite some time already when they ruin their liver by fall off the wagon and both initially think that after achieve svr their liver were all heal up and so they rationalize that they could go back out there and drink to their heart content this is another sad example of what the awfully cruel strength of alcohol addiction can do to someone who may rationalize to be totally indestructible or just plain not give a shit anymore about themselves any long because the only thought that permeate their thinking is when will I have my next drink and as a consequence act out negatively by react the same way over and over again by drink until they no long can stay consciousness and either pass out or become trap in a coma and eventually die I have also have the honor to know some friend that have overcome this addiction and who after become svr still need a liver transplant afterwards because of the extent of damage alcohol and hcv have already do to their liver and I am happy to write that they are live their life as happy as they can be and free from the chain of addiction one day at a time respectfully henry,neutral,1

http www karenhurd com concern_gall_bladder html this article talk about how fiber especially the fiber in cook dry bean help to get rid of toxic use bile instead of it reabsorb back to your already overwork liver the liver is the most important detoxification organ that we have the liver is responsible for filter the blood clean out all fat soluble toxin most people are not aware of this function of the liver most people think that the kidney alone are responsible for filter blood the kidney do filter blood but the kidney only filter out water soluble toxin the kidney are incapable of deal with fat it is the livera s function to handle the fat interestingly enough the preponderance of toxin are fat soluble not water soluble and in this group of fat soluble toxin there are many that are very nasty once the liver have filter these toxin from the bloodstream it is necessary to find a pathway out of the body for this a garbagea the liver have no access to the urinary tract so it can not send its trash away through that system however the liver do make bile and this bile go to the gall bladder the gall bladder release the bile into the duodenum first part of the small intestine where most digestion take place if the bile can travel the length of the intestinal tract and be expel from the body in a bowel movement then the liver will have been successful in rid the body of those toxin that were place in the bile the bile that is carry the toxin will be use in the digestive process of break down fat however not all bile that is release into the duodenum is need the unused bile will travel the intestinal tract and a large portion of it will be reabsorb the bile in its constituent part will travel back to the liver toxin in tow that mean that those toxin that have been send for elimination were not eliminate therefore the liver have to reuse this bile try once again to get these nasty poison out of the body but there is a catch the liver continue to filter blood while that bile was on its merry way travel the intestinal track the liver have accumulate more toxin that have to be eliminate so before send the old bile back to the gall bladder the liver will tuck in a few more toxin if the bile recycle yet again the liver will have to squeeze in even more toxin are you begin to see that the bile that recycle again and again become more and more toxic after time the bile become thick and extremely noxious the bile become so thick that it actually begin to roll up into little ball it start as a grain of sanda and can roll into large a stonesa even if the bile never form stone it become so thick that partial obstruction of the biliary duct can occur this blockage of the biliary duct can cause discomfit and eventually excruciating pain,neutral,1

hi all 8 22 201 I meet with my gastroenterologist because I was have some right upper abd pain and occasional nightime vomiting I think as do he after the appt that these were probably due to 1 hiatal hernia and 2 adhesion from have my gallbladder out he offer I two option 1 ct scan of my abdomen I do not think that will show we anything about this problem 2 esophageal ultrasound that way we can look at the bile duct and see if there may be a stone stick there that they do not see when you have your gallbladder out as an rn of 30 year most of that in the er I have see pt diagnose with lot of cancer sometimes when the tumor were so severe that there was nothing to be do but palliative care my immediate response was let we go with the cat scan and narrow it down from there always well to see what is go on inside the body the next day I go to work and take my break to have my ct scan immediately afterwards I was tell you have a mass on your kidney my heart stop my breath stop the room spin around and I read the report 1 2 cm x 1 8 cm possibly renal cell carcinoma recommend followup with urology the good news was no pancreatic liver or other masse the cause of the pain and vomiting was a hiatal hernia and probably adhesion fortunately the urologist have a cancellation I call at 955 before midday and have a 10 before midday appt the urologist was thorough review the ct scan and tell I my option he was recommend thermoablation and tell I he would set up the appt with the interventional radiologist later in the day he call and tell I that ir was recommend cryo ablation and I would have to go to our main hospital which is locate about 60 mile north of our satellite hospital 8 30 2011 I meet with the ir and discuss surgical option the tumor I upload a pic of the ct scan with the tumor circle was on top of the right kidney and he feel it could be reach without too much difficulty cryo was recommend and by this time I have do all my internet research and learn the statistic were very good with this procedure my big concern was to make sure that the ir doc would do the procedure himself and no med student intern or resident would be involve I have work at teach hospital and have have my experience so no thank you 9 19 11 the procedure was do by 10 before midday and I was home by 430 after midday they take a biopsy but the speciman was small so no assurance of a result treat it as if it was rcc which statistically it is and followup will be ct scan every 3 month for a year every 6 month for a year and then every year until I reach 5 year the first day or two I have some discomfort and was exhaust the next couple of day I was very tired and start go out to do minor errand throughout the entire process I have been tell repeatedly how lucky I am and I do feel extremely lucky I also have feeling of betrayal and wonder what else could possibly be go on in my body that I do not know about I am also piss off I do everything I can to ensure good health I do not smoke I drink in moderation and I study epigenetic study of why we get sick with what we carry in our gene to keep my genetic at bay I take a great nutritional supplement and supplement that with other vitamin and mineral which I have research I am adopt and although I find my birth family in 1977 I do not know all of my genetic history my birth mother have a set of twin brother who die in their 30 40 of cancer all of my birth family die before 1998 and so I do not have any way of find out what kind of cancer that might have been my hobby is being a search angel that mean I help people separate by adoption reconnect with each other my specialty is texas before 1975 but I will help anyone over the year I have see tear of joy and sadness people have learn about their genetic root and learn that they inherit the gene for diabetes breast cancer and other illness with that knowledge they can take the step to protect themselves I have do everything I could to protect myself from my genetic and still I get this so I feel lucky and I feel like my body betray I and I also feel like I have no right to complain about anything because my cancer was so small and it is go I have no ongoing treatment other than multiple cat scan I am lucky,neutral,1
my journey so far with cancer have begin to feel like a true battle and it is not the cancer and side affect of treatment that are totally to blame I was not able to begin chemo until 6 wks after my surgery as the medical oncologst was out of the country for the holiday so I was eager to get thing underway once she return I would heard nothing but great thing about she and as much as the thought of chemo was not a pleasant thought I know that it would be necessary to effectively treat my cancer and I just want to do it and get it over with I begin the chemo late january taxotere and cytoxin accompany with other med to help the experience be a bit more tolerable before I begin my 2nd round I have lose my hair and a sinus infection was creep up on I I spike a temp and start a 2nd go of antibiotic to counter the infection begin the 2nd round of chemo I start into a nearly 3 wk mense which I attribute to early menopause as it was a list side effect of chemo in all my research my hempglobin drop to 7 9 and the lab fail to contact I for 3 day while I work my job I work for a teaching hospital university as a police officer this is where I receive my care I would been experience chest pain and shortness of breath and extreme tiredness and have call the dr office about the symptom they call in a rx for yet another antibiotic presuming that my symptom were relate to my sinus infection that keep return the follow mon the nurse call and advise that the lab were critical and that I need to come in to be redrawn the hemoglobin have drop to 7 4 and I receive blood that day the dr cancel the chemo altogether state that it was make I too sick and it was not worth the risk and that I would begin radiation instead she have far say that the tumor was only 1 2 mm and small enough that she feel 2 round was enough the tumor was 2 cm 1 2 mm was the size of invasive portion of a slice of the tumor I was not in agreement with that decision and I know that the drop in hemoglobin was cause by the mense and not directly by the chemo at a followup appt I speak to the surgeon who agree with I and he in turn speak to the oncologist I was also concerned about not having been contact about the lab result in a timely manner especially know that I could have code at any time while I was work that low but my heart was still recuperate at the time and I focus on what the next step were go to be the oncologist and I discuss it at my next appt and I explain my concern and she listen chemo was restart she is not difficult to talk to I just was not speak up and I need to I next meet the radiation oncologist to talk about what the treatment plan would be follow chemo I have a strong family history of breast and ovarian cancer and am await result on the genetic study the surgeon have already discuss with I that give the history of cancer and recurrence that a bi lateral mastectomy w reconstruction should be consider the radiation oncologist do not agree he say that if the mastectomy was go to be do that there would be no sense in do the radiation he suggest that I speak with the surgeon far and make a decision relatively soon when look over my chart the radiation oncologist casually mention that a cyst on my liver that have not change remarkably since 2004 I have no clue what he was talk about I never know that I have one and it have definitely never been look into far after leave the hospital day the thought of the cyst bother I more and more so I call the medical oncologist to inquire about it they return my call the follow day and assure that the cyst was just that and nothing to worry about I guess I am not certain how they can be so sure with just a ct the nurse state that the radiologist can tell and if he would been suspicious that followup would have been do I am just not totally confident in my care anymore and do not know what more I can do to change that should I be worry about these thing or let they go I would truly appreciate any advice on the matter thank,neutral,1

almost everyone have gallstone with or without liver disease it is a major cause of all health issue the actual flush come from andreas moritz and his book title the amazing liver and gallbladder flush I get it on amazon you should really purchase the book I hunt and peck to type so this well be appreciate laugh out loud j k not recommend if take medication avoid all medication or vitamin that are not absolutely necessary we do not want to over work the liver any more than need the actual flush overnight what you ll need 1 2 cup of olive oil 1 large fresh grapefruit or lemon or orange enough to make 3 4 cup of juice 4 tablespoon epsom salt now some people not I it work without for I but some people might have really large stone and he recommend to drink 1 32 oz of package apple juice per day for 6 day organic if possible the malic acid in the apple juice soften the gallstone and make their passage through the bile duct smooth and easy some sensitive people experience bloat or diarrhea the first few day much of the diarrhea is actually stagnant bile release by the liver and gallbladder indicate by a brownish yellowish color if it become uncomfortable you can dilute with any amount of water just drink the whole 32 oz of juice throughout the day between meal avoid drink the juice during just before and in the first 2 hour after meal and in the evening this is in addition to your normal water intake of 6 to 8 glass I do not use the apple juice the good time to do the flush is on a weekend or when you are not work the next day and have time to rest on the sixth day of the apple juice drink all 32 oz in the morning eat a light breakfast like oatmeal avoid all sugar other sweetener spice milk butter oil yogurt cheese ham any meat egg nuts pastry cold cereal and the like fruit or fruit juice are fine for lunch eat plain cook or steam vegetable with rice preferably basmati rice if you can get it and flavor with a little bit of unrefined sea salt or rock salt do not eat any protein food butter or oil or you might feel ill during the flush do not eat or drink anything after 1 30pm except water or you might have trouble pass the stone in the evening at 6 pm add 1 tablespoon of epsom salt magnesium sulfate to a total of 1 2 cup of filter water if you can not get epsom salt down you may use magnesium citrate stir well and drink it all at once yech laugh out loud one of the main action of the epsom salt is to dilate the bile duct to make pass the stone easy at 8 pm drink your second 1 tablespoon of epsom salt to 1 2 cup of filter water and again stir and drink up at 9 45pm thoroughly wash the grapefruit or lemon or orange and squeeze enough juice to make 3 4 cup remove pulp pour the juice and 1 2 cup of olive oil into a jar that can be close and shake at 10 pm stand next to your bed do not sit down and shake the drink hard about 20 time and drink it all it actually taste pretty good to I laugh out loud if you need a straw use it but make sure you take no long that 5 minute to drink it only elderly or weak people may take long lie down immediately this is essential to help release the gallstone lie flat on your back with 1 or 2 pillow prop your head up your head should be high than your abdoman if this is uncomfortable then you may lie on your right side with your knee pull toward your head lie perfectly still for at least 20 minute and try not to speak put you attention on your liver some people find it beneficial to put a castor oil pack on their liver but it is not mandatory you may or may not feel your stone travel along the bile duct like marble there will be no spasm or pain because the magnesium in the epsom keep the bile duct valve wide open and relaxed and the bile that is excrete along with the stone keep the bile duct well lubricate this is very different in the case of a gallstone attack where the magnesium and bile are not present if at any time during the night you feel like have a bowel movement go ahead and do so check to see if there are any small gallstone already float in the toilet you may feel nauseate during the night or early morning this is normal and will pass as the morning progress at 6 6 30am but not before drink your 3rd glass of 1 tablespoon of epsom with 1 2 cup of water if you are thirsty you may drink a glass of warm water before you take your epsom drink rest or read if you are sleepy you may go back to bed but it is good if the body is in the upright position at 8 8 30am drink your fourth glass of 1 tablespoon epsom with 1 2 cup of water at 10 10 30am you may drink freshly press fruit juice one half hour later you may eat one or two piece of fresh fruit one hour later you may eat regular but light food by the evening or the next morning you should be back to normal and feel the first sign of improvement continue to eat light meal during the next 2 3 day remember your liver and gallbladder have undergo major surgery albeit without the harmful side effect or the expense note drink water whenever you are thirsty except right after drink the epsom salt and for the first 2 hour after drink the oil mixture my note unless you have a real doctor who really care about his patient and not make money I would not even mention this flush to he because he she will knock it down and tell you it will not work I recommend buy the book because it is so informative on all liver gallbladder detoxify I actually take a picture of my stone last year to prove to some people who do not believe I if you want to see it sorry message I with an email address

I find a recent article about miss what make I bring it up was some soap opera woman in the show have miss and she s alot old I always read it hit between 20 and 50 I believe it list some symptom we all have though I have been through the mill on test with cat scan and this test nerve test and ton of bloodwork then I read all the symptom other list that I do not have and wonder one thing they mention is thinning of retinas I have very thin retinas but I also have very very bad eyesight ever since I was young kid I see a retina specialist and he never mention anything just that my eye are long inside which make my retina thin then I read about thin retinas and I am think there is medicine out that can help people with miss should be all have a mri or lumbar spine fluid take to be sure to think we get a dx for fibro and do nothing except pain pill when we could be do something maybe to slow it down I am also in pain everyday while it seem miss have pain sometimes and sometimes no pain here is the article I copy and paste it what is miss what is multiple sclerosis feature article main category multiple sclerosis also include in neurology neuroscience rehabilitation physical therapy last update 27 nov 2012 original date 10 oct 2012 email to a friend printer friendly opinion current rating for what is miss what is multiple sclerosis patient public 4 11 83 vote healthcare prof 3 94 18 vote article opinion 3 post multiple sclerosis also know as miss is a chronic disease that attack the central nervous system that is the brain spinal cord and optic nerve in severe case the patient become paralyzed and or blind while in milder case there may be numbness in the limb over 350 000 people have mis in the usa the cleveland clinic say that miss related health care cost are think to be over 10 billion per year in the united states accord to the national health service uk approximately 100 000 people live with multiple sclerosis in great britain symptom usually appear initially between 15 and 45 year of age woman are twice as likely to get miss than man the term multiple sclerosis come from the latin multus plus plica mean fold and the greek sklerosis mean harden accord to medilexicon medical dictionary multiple sclerosis miss is a common demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system cause patch of sclerosis plaque in the brain and spinal cord occur primarily in young adult and have protean clinical manifestation depend on the location and size of the plaque typical symptom include visual loss diplopia nystagmus dysarthria weakness paresthesia bladder abnormality and mood alteration characteristically the plaque are separate in time and space and clinically the symptom show exacerbation and remission with miss the central nervous system cns is attack by the person own immune system that is why miss is know as an auto immune disease nerve fiber are surround by myelin which protect they myelin also help conduct electrical signal impulse that is myelin facilitate a good flow of electricity along the nervous system from the brain myelin regulate a key protein involve in send long distant signal the myelin of a patient with miss disappear in multiple area this leave a scar sclerosis multiple sclerosis mean scar tissue in multiple area the area where there is either not enough or no myelin are call plaque or lesion as the lesion get bad the nerve fiber can break or become damage when a nerve fiber have less myelin the electrical impulse receive from the brain do not flow smoothly to the target nerve when there is no myelin the nerve fiber can not conduct the electrical impulse at all the electrical impulse are instruction from the brain to carry out action such as to move a muscle with miss you can not get your body to do what your brain want it to do who can develop multiple sclerosis miss can affect people of all age it is more common among people age from 20 to 50 year more woman develop miss than man people of european descent are more likely to develop miss compare to other people however people of all ancestry can get it you can inherit a great susceptibility of get miss from your parent in 2007 the world health organization who estimate that approximately 2 5 million people have mis multiple sclerosis rate are high the far away you live from the equator this lead many to believe that exposure to sunlight impact on miss risk what are the cause of miss although expert are still uncertain most of they say that the person own immune system attack the myelin as if it were an undesirable foreign body in the same way our immune system might attack a virus or bacteria why might our immune system attack the myelin the reason could be genetic some study have show that the gene we inherit from our parent may in part impact on our risk of develop miss if you have a parent sibling or grandparent who have have mis your risk of develop it yourself is great than average several gene are most likely involve in influence multiple sclerosis risk expert say scientist believe that a set of gene variant we are bear with plus exposure to some environmental trigger s affect the immune system of some people which eventually lead to miss symptom we are probably not that far from identify those gene variant the large miss genetic study ever undertake involve 250 scientist from around the world and lead by the university of cambridge and oxford report in the journal nature in august 2011 that over 50 gene have been identify and associate with miss environmental miss prevalence vary accord to geographical area and population group miss is much more common in northern europe than southern europe northern usa than southern usa it seem that the more exposure to sunlight we have the low our miss risk is the more sunlight we are expose to the less likely we are to have low level of vitamin d therefore long term vitamin d level probably play a role in miss risk italian scientist explain in july 2012 at the 22nd meeting of the european neurological society en in prague czech republic that people with high vitamin d level are less likely to develop miss in the usa caucasian people have a high risk of develop miss than other racial group regardless of geographical location study indicate that people who move from a high risk area to a low risk one only acquire the risk of the new area if they move before they reach adolescence this mean that there is something in the environment we are expose to early in life which influence risk exposure to a toxic substance such as a heavy metal or solvent have been suggest but no clear conclusion have been reach people with miss are less likely to suffer from gout miss patient have low than average level of uric acid in their system which lead scientist to believe that uric acid protect from miss it is unlikely there is just one trigger expert say but rather miss is probably trigger by multiple factor infection doctor and researcher have often mention virus such as epstein barr mononucleosis varicella zoster as possible miss trigger however this theory have not been back up scientifically what are the sign and symptom of miss miss affect the central nervous system which control all the action in the body when nerve fiber which carry messge to and from the brain are damage symptom may occur in any part of the body in most case sign and symptom generally appear between the age of 20 and 40 for some patient they are so mild that they do not notice anything until much later in the course of the disease other may be aware of they very early on the most common symptom are bladder problem patient may have difficulty empty their bladder completely need to go to the toilet more frequently urge incontinence suddenly die to go or unintentional passing of urine and nocturia need to go frequently during the night are also common symptom bowel problem half of all miss patient are frequently affect with constipation which can sometimes be serious fecal impaction if the fecal impaction is not resolve the problem may lead to bowel incontinence cognitive function accord to the multiple sclerosis resource center uk about 50 of people with miss say they experience cognitive problem to some extent increase to 80 among the most severe case the most commonly report cognitive abnormality include problem with memory abstraction attention and word find in march 2012 researcher from the kessler foundation report on a study they carry out which show that warm weather have a negative effect on the cognitive performance of patient with miss depression researcher from ucla say miss patient have a 50 chance of develop depression they add that depression among miss patient is not psychological but link to atrophy in part of the hippocampus emotional change miss may have a profound emotional effect on the individual when a diagnosis is first make it may be hard to adjust to the diagnosis of such an unpredictable disorder which carry a risk of some level of physical disability also demyelination and nerve fiber damage in the brain can cause emotional change in short a person with miss may experience emotional change for either psychological or physical reason or both researcher from the lsu health sciences center new orleans usa show that stress management treatment reduce the formation of new brain lesion in people with miss considerably fatigue this is one of the most common symptom of miss and affect approximately 80 of patient the person ability to function properly at work and at home may be seriously undermine by fatigue it is the main reason miss patient leave their job dizziness and vertigo people with miss commonly experience dizziness and problem with balance vertigo is not the same as dizziness it is a sensation that the room around you is move or spin head movement may cause electric shock like sensation numbness or weakness usually in one or more limb and typically affect just one side of the body at a time or just the bottom half of the body pain or tingle in some part of the body sexual dysfunction loss of interest in sex is common for people with miss male commonly find it difficult to reach or maintain an erection they may also find it take long to ejaculate female may find achieve orgasm more difficult spasticity and muscle spasm damage nerve fiber in the spinal cord and brain can cause muscle to tightly and painfully contract spasm muscle might get stiff and be resistant to movement spasticity tremor involuntary quivering movement vision problem double vision or blur vision there may be partial or total loss of vision which usually affect one eye at a time when the eye move there is pain optic neuritis inflammation of the optic nerve gait gait can be a problem for people with miss gait refer to the way you walk miss can change the way people walk because their muscle are weak they may have problem with balance and dizziness plus fatigue these symptom are less common but also possible headache hear loss itching respiration breathing problem seizure speech disorder swallow problem tremor as the miss advance these symptom may appear alteration in perception and think fatigue heat sensitivity muscle spasm sexual dysfunction miss is an unpredictable disease each individual will experience it in different way for some miss start with a subtle sensation and it could take month and even year without any miss progression being notice for other however symptom worsen much more rapidly within week or month miss is very much an individual disease people are encourage not to compare what affect they against what other patient might experience the four course of multiple sclerosis there are 4 course of the disease in each case the miss may be mild moderate or severe relapse remit miss rrm over 80 of patient start off with this type relapse there are acute and unpredictable exacerbation acute attack also call flare up during this period symptom get bad remitting and then there are period of full or partial recovery sometimes there is no recovery the attack may evolve over day or even week and recovery can take week or even month in between the attack there is calm and symptom do not worsen primary progressive miss ppm about 15 of patient have this type there are no clear relapse or remission the progression of the disease is steady it is the most common form of miss in those who develop the disease after 40 year of age secondary progressive miss spm start off as a relapse remit type of miss relapse and partial recovery occur however in between cycle the disability do not go away eventually it become a progressive disease with no cycle the progressive stage may start very early on year or even decade later progressive relapse miss prm the least common form symptom worsen progressively steadily there are acute attack some recovery may follow or may not in the early stage it seem the patient have primary progressive miss video four course of miss how is miss diagnose it is still not yet possible to diagnose miss by send sample to a lab or collect physical finding the doctor need to use several strategy to decide whether a patient meet the criterion for an miss diagnosis to do this other possible cause of the symptom need to be rule out the doctor will talk to the patient carefully look at his her medical history carry out a neurolgic exam order imaging scans visual evoke potential vep spinal fluid analysis and perhaps some further test the health care professional need to do the following before diagnose miss detect evidence of damage in two or more separate part of the cns central nervous system the cns include the spinal cord brain and optic nerve and have proof that the cns damage happen at least one month apart and eliminate other potential diagnosis in 2001 the international panel on the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis revise the criterion to include precise instruction for use magnetic resonance imaging mri visual evoke potential vep and cerebrospinal fluid analysis to hasten the diagnostic process these test can be use to look for a second area of damage in a person who have experience only one episode of miss like symptom refer to as a clinically isolate syndrome cis a person with cis might not develop miss the criterion were revise again in 2005 it is now know as the revise mcdonald criterion and have improve the process gauge miss progression through the patient eye a person multiple sclerosis progression

in our study pregnant woman and woman in general have a low risk for miss with high level of the vitamin as expect however a mother level of vitamin d during early pregnancy do not have an effect on

if you google or search pubme for prostate cancer survival is dependent on season of diagnosis the seasonal effect on prognosis may be relate to the seasonal variation of calcidiol the marker of vitamin d status the lack of latitude effect and the similarity of prognosis for different age group may be relate to high consumption of vitamin d in food in the north region and to increase of such consumption with age in the uk on average only one portion of oily fish is eat every 3 week but that do not take account of the fact that 70 of the population never eat oily fish ever cod liver oil 1 tablespoon 1 360iu but this also include an exceedingly high amount of vitamin a salmon cook 3 ounce 360iu mackerel cook 3 ounce 345iu tuna fish can in oil 3 ounce 200iu sardine 1 ounce 250iu well buy the one in tomato sauce as that way you reduce the amount of omega 6 intake but you can see that even if you eat oily fish daily you would not acquire the 4000iu that 20minute full body sun exposure lay in the midday sun could provide in order for the skin to warm sufficiently to produce vitamin d3 a minimum erythemal index of 3 is need the vitamin d council website have link to daily erythemal index chart but note these are for clear sky cloud cover will block more than 60 of the uvb so particularly in recent week in the uk lat 52 the opportunity for free vitamin d from sunlight have been very limited I have been take 3 x 5000iu vitamin d3 cholecalciferol weekly average 2000iu d hope to make up the rest of my daily 4000iu usage from the sun when it is available from the end of september to end of march the angle of the sun latitude 40 mean very little uvb reach the ground so then I take 5x5000iu one week follow by 6x5000iu the next to average 4000iu d over the fortnight to ensure there is no difference between my summer autumn vitamin d status and the winter spring level,neutral,1

investigation into why a liver become fibrotic and possibly cirrhotic have lead english researcher on a quest to stop this undesirable chain of event by discover that sulfasalazine hold promise for reverse scar tissue in the liver they may have change the future treatment goal for liver disease by nicole cutler l ac one of the most amazing characteristic of liver tissue is its ability to regenerate new and healthy cell unfortunately a person experience repeat injury to this organ often lose this capability by rack up unhealed scar therefore one of the therapeutic goal for treat liver disease is to find novel way for heal the accumulation of fibrous scar tissue that could lead to liver cirrhosis scientist from the united kingdom believe that the drug sulfasalazine may fulfill this goal by imitate a healthy livera s response to injury which could dissolve the fibrous scar find in a diseased liver the sulfasalazine claim in an effort to help the liver recover from injury english researcher have make a promising discovery by block the protein that keep scar tissue cell alive sulfasalazine may help people live with chronic liver disease although the study lead by professor derek mann was conduct in laboratory animal proponent believe that the soon to be see result of sulfasalazinea s impact on human liver have the potential to reverse fibrosis if true sulfasalazine could provide a safe and less expensive alternative to liver transplant surgery why a liver scar professor of molecular cell biology at southampton university derek mann share why a specialized liver cell the hepatic stellate cell is mostly responsible for liver fibrosis accord to mann a hepatic stellate cell normally provide the storage site for vitamin a however in response to injury they undergo a remarkable transition to become wound heal myofibroblast which amongst other function produce scar protein or collagen as see in cirrhosis a injury to the liver tissue is typically due to toxin alcohol or a virus in response to liver injury the follow chain of event occur 1 scar tissue is lay down to protect the injured or infected tissue from further damage while it heal 2 in a healthy liver this scar tissue break down after the liver have regenerate new cell 3 in a diseased liver scar tissue formation outpace liver cell regeneration 4 in a diseased liver hepatic stellate cell remain activate lead to a build up of collagen 5 in a diseased liver the collagen build up prevent the livera s repair 6 in a diseased liver the build up can eventually lead to cirrhosis the irreversible replacement of liver cell with non function fibrous tissue end stage liver disease is typically mark by cirrhosis when there are insufficient liver cell leave to support the everyday vital function normally perform by the liver hepatic stellate cell hope in collaboration with john iredale professor of medicine at the university of edinburgh professor manna s research is aim at stop the cycle of liver injury that can lead to cirrhosis since previous animal model demonstrate that liver recovery was associate with the clearance of activate hepatic stellate cell mann closely examine this molecular mechanism in hope of stimulate this process in people with chronic liver disease this hope skyrocket when researcher find signal instruct cell in an injured liver to resist hepatic stellate cell death in addition mann find that experimental manipulation could promote clearance of hepatic stellate cell and that by inhibit these signal the acceleration of fibrosis recovery could be stimulate the signal responsible a well know protein that control the activity of over 200 gene nuclear factor kappa b nf iob emerge as the agent responsible for instruct cell to resist death mann explain that the activation of hepatic stellate cell into myofibroblast was accompany by an increase in their nf iob activity the presence of this protein is believe to be the primary reason why hepatic stellate cell are able to resist death their demise of which could allow liver tissue to heal the nf iob activity is a key player in how much scar a liver incur as hepatic stellate cell resist death scar formation persist and the liver progress towards cirrhosis put this understanding to use ever since understand how the molecular pathway for liver fibrosis work investigator have been search for liver disease therapy base on this information use for decade to treat inflammatory disease of the gut and rheumatoid arthritis sulfasalazine trial are currently the most hopeful outcome of this work a potent inhibitor of nf iob sulfasalazinea s result to date have been encourage a in an animal model of liver fibrosis we have observe that administration of sulfasalazine accelerate the normally slow process of spontaneous recovery a say professor mann a we see very rapid remodeling of scar tissue back to normal hepatic tissue a more about sulfasalazine sulfasalazine is an anti inflammatory medication that belong to a class of drug call sulfa drug the active ingredient in sulfasalazine consist of salicylate the main ingredient in aspirin combine with a sulfa antibiotic its use cover a broad range of ailment from rheumatoid arthritis anklyosing spondylitis psoriatic arthritis to ulcerative colitis and crohna s disease in general most patient tolerate sulfasalazine without many side effect however there are adverse effect that can occur include a temporary infertility in male a yellow orange urine or skin a diarrhea a headache a loss of appetite or vomit a upset stomach or stomach pain a skin rash itching or hive a sore throat or swell a fever a joint or muscle ache a pale or yellow skin a difficulty swallow a unusual bleeding or bruise a fatigue or weakness in addition many drug interact with sulfasalazine the next step while sulfasalazine may sound like an exciting option for people with severe liver fibrosis or cirrhosis it is still under investigation accord to liver disease specialist dr melissa palmer it is not recommend for patient with liver disease to begin sulfasalazine until the human study conclude its safety and efficacy until this or another therapy become available that is prove in the area of safety and effectiveness you can help prevent your liver cell from injury by take a high quality milk thistle supplement numerous study have confirm this herba s ability to strengthen liver cell protect they from injury in the first place although not yet a therapeutic solution the stride of modern medicine continue to propel we into previously uncharted water by understanding and influence the mechanism of scar in the liver solution such as sulfasalazine could reverse fibrosis such a feat would change a persona s prognosis of live with chronic liver disease and completely alter their treatment regiman,neutral,1
thank to the two who respond to my asking about the mood swing in my husband to heartsick1 yes my husband have have two cp celiac plexus block they both work well for the actual pancreatic pain I believe that the pain he have now is probably what they call refer pain or it have metastasize to another area they diagnose he initially with stage 4 state it was in his lung then another scan show the area in his lung to be go but there was a lesion on his liver the ca19 9 test do in april was over 2000 normal is anything less than 37 after he go in the hospital for 5fu three day in then out for a week and back in for 8 day of horrible pain cause from the chemo that is when he decide to discontinue the chemo we make that decision in august and he start on hospice in october they are a wonderful organization you answer my question about the mood change thank you my husband is just on norco 10 325 right now every four hour we have not even go to the big gun for pain control he is want to get through christmas without being zonke out he weigh 130 pound he is a type a personality and on the drug and with this beast from hell cancer he is a type a personality sometimes over the top do that make sense I describe it like this to the kid he use a bazooka to kill a fly instead of a fly swatter there are day he is my jim and other day I do not really know he some have tell I it is only go to get bad I can deal with the truth I was just wonder if this was normal,neutral,1

investigation into why a liver become fibrotic and possibly cirrhotic have lead english researcher on a quest to stop this undesirable chain of event by discover that sulfasalazine hold promise for reverse scar tissue in the liver they may have change the future treatment goal for liver disease by nicole cutler l ac one of the most amazing characteristic of liver tissue is its ability to regenerate new and healthy cell unfortunately a person experience repeat injury to this organ often lose this capability by rack up unhealed scar therefore one of the therapeutic goal for treat liver disease is to find novel way for heal the accumulation of fibrous scar tissue that could lead to liver cirrhosis scientist from the united kingdom believe that the drug sulfasalazine may fulfill this goal by imitate a healthy liver response to injury which could dissolve the fibrous scar find in a diseased liver the sulfasalazine claim in an effort to help the liver recover from injury english researcher have make a promising discovery by block the protein that keep scar tissue cell alive sulfasalazine may help people live with chronic liver disease although the study lead by professor derek mann was conduct in laboratory animal proponent believe that the soon to be see result of sulfasalazine impact on human liver have the potential to reverse fibrosis if true sulfasalazine could provide a safe and less expensive alternative to liver transplant surgery why a liver scar professor of molecular cell biology at southampton university derek mann share why a specialized liver cell the hepatic stellate cell is mostly responsible for liver fibrosis accord to mann hepatic stellate cell normally provide the storage site for vitamin a however in response to injury they undergo a remarkable transition to become wound heal myofibroblast which amongst other function produce scar protein or collagen as see in cirrhosis injury to the liver tissue is typically due to toxin alcohol or a virus in response to liver injury the follow chain of event occur 1 scar tissue is lay down to protect the injured or infected tissue from further damage while it heal 2 in a healthy liver this scar tissue break down after the liver have regenerate new cell 3 in a diseased liver scar tissue formation outpace liver cell regeneration 4 in a diseased liver hepatic stellate cell remain activate lead to a build up of collagen 5 in a diseased liver the collagen build up prevent the liver repair 6 in a diseased liver the build up can eventually lead to cirrhosis the irreversible replacement of liver cell with non function fibrous tissue end stage liver disease is typically mark by cirrhosis when there are insufficient liver cell leave to support the everyday vital function normally perform by the liver hepatic stellate cell hope in collaboration with john iredale professor of medicine at the university of edinburgh professor manns research is aim at stop the cycle of liver injury that can lead to cirrhosis since previous animal model demonstrate that liver recovery was associate with the clearance of activate hepatic stellate cell mann closely examine this molecular mechanism in hope of stimulate this process in people with chronic liver disease this hope skyrocket when researcher find signal instruct cell in an injured liver to resist hepatic stellate cell death in addition mann find that experimental manipulation could promote clearance of hepatic stellate cell and that by inhibit these signal the acceleration of fibrosis recovery could be stimulate the signal responsible a well know protein that control the activity of over 200 gene nuclear factor kappa b nf b emerge as the agent responsible for instruct cell to resist death mann explain that the activation of hepatic stellate cell into myofibroblast was accompany by an increase in their nf b activity the presence of this protein is believe to be the primary reason why hepatic stellate cell are able to resist death their demise of which could allow liver tissue to heal the nf b activity is a key player in how much scar a liver incur as hepatic stellate cell resist death scar formation persist and the liver progress towards cirrhosis put this understanding to use ever since understand how the molecular pathway for liver fibrosis work investigator have been search for liver disease therapy base on this information use for decade to treat inflammatory disease of the gut and rheumatoid arthritis sulfasalazine trial are currently the most hopeful outcome of this work a potent inhibitor of nf b sulfasalazine result to date have been encourage in an animal model of liver fibrosis we have observe that administration of sulfasalazine accelerate the normally slow process of spontaneous recovery say professor mann we see very rapid remodeling of scar tissue back to normal hepatic tissue more about sulfasalazine sulfasalazine is an anti inflammatory medication that belong to a class of drug call sulfa drug the active ingredient in sulfasalazine consist of salicylate the main ingredient in aspirin combine with a sulfa antibiotic its use cover a broad range of ailment from rheumatoid arthritis anklyosing spondylitis psoriatic arthritis to ulcerative colitis and crohns disease in general most patient tolerate sulfasalazine without many side effect however there are adverse effect that can occur include temporary infertility in male yellow orange urine or skin diarrhea headache loss of appetite or vomit upset stomach or stomach pain skin rash itching or hive sore throat or swell fever joint or muscle ache pale or yellow skin difficulty swallow unusual bleeding or bruise fatigue or weakness in addition many drug interact with sulfasalazine the next step while sulfasalazine may sound like an exciting option for people with severe liver fibrosis or cirrhosis it is still under investigation accord to liver disease specialist dr melissa palmer it is not

find out that I have dehydration due to a high bun lab result I have been sweat excessively after eat especially animal protein and notice for the past week after take a vitamin supplement this chronic uncomfortable soreness in the liver how do I stop the inflammation from continue I think the ongoing liver inflammation is far drain my already exhaust damage adrenal gland to put out more cortisol this is cause a problem because I am urinate much more and I do not have an infection in the bladder and I do not have diabetes so I think it is relate to the adrenal I come across a british article online from a british medical journal january 26 1980 entitle endocrine aspect of liver disease the article give a wonderful explanation of the relationship between the endocrine system and the liver and what is expect pretty amazing reading maybe your liver doctor would not appreciate you read this because you may become smart than they the whole medical system is so mess up you go to a hep for the liver but what do the hep do for a person fail endocrine system I guess you go to an endocrinologist or you just get a new liver as the ultimate solution there is a machine that is go to be available for clinic trial hopefully the first of the year call elad it is suppose to act like the liver do like a filter for those people who s liver are fail and the machine help the liver to do it is job and heal why do not they get go on this and the hep stop worry about not get their big paycheck for liver transplant when the machine almost take the place of a liver transplant the machine can help the diseased liver to heal and the person can become well again gee would not that be wonderful so what s the hold up especially when there are not enough liver to go around I think cpmc in san francisco will get a machine for clinical trial not sure if I am go to make it or not,neutral,1

I have the serious version so I want to help other by share my information it is long but please read through the article explain everything you need to know about fatty liver condition nonalcoholic steatohepatitison this page diagnosis symptom cause treatment hope through research point to remember for more information nonalcoholic steatohepatitis or nash is a common often silent liver disease it resemble alcoholic liver disease but occur in people who drink little or no alcohol the major feature in nash is fat in the liver along with inflammation and damage most people with nash feel well and are not aware that they have a liver problem nevertheless nash can be severe and can lead to cirrhosis in which the liver is permanently damage and scarred and no long able to work properly nash affect 2 to 5 percent of americans an additional 10 to 20 percent of americans have fat in their liver but no inflammation or liver damage a condition call fatty liver although have fat in the liver is not normal by itself it probably cause little harm or permanent damage if fat is suspect base on blood test result or scan of the liver this problem is call nonalcoholic fatty liver disease nafld if a liver biopsy is perform in this case it will show that some people have nash while other have simple fatty liver both nash and nafld are become more common possibly because of the great number of americans with obesity in the past 10 year the rate of obesity have double in adult and triple in child obesity also contribute to diabete and high blood cholesterol which can far complicate the health of someone with nash diabetes and high blood cholesterol are also become more common among americans biliary system top diagnosisnash is usually first suspect in a person who is find to have elevation in liver test that are include in routine blood test panel such as alanine aminotransferase alt or aspartate aminotransferase ast when further evaluation show no apparent reason for liver disease such as medication viral hepatitis or excessive use of alcohol and when x ray or image study of the liver show fat nash is suspect the only mean of prove a diagnosis of nash and separate it from simple fatty liver is a liver biopsy for a liver biopsy a needle is insert through the skin to remove a small piece of the liver nash is diagnose when examination of the tissue with a microscope show fat along with inflammation and damage to liver cell if the tissue show fat without inflammation and damage simple fatty liver or nafld is diagnose an important piece of information learn from the biopsy is whether scar tissue have develop in the liver currently no blood test or scan can reliably provide this information liver biopsy top symptomsnash is usually a silent disease with few or no symptom patient generally feel well in the early stage and only begin to have symptomssuch as fatigue weight loss and weaknessonce the disease is more advanced or cirrhosis develop the progression of nash can take year even decade the process can stop and in some case reverse on its own without specific therapy or nash can slowly worsen cause scarring or fibrosis to appear and accumulate in the liver as fibrosis worsens cirrhosis develop the liver become seriously scarred hardened and unable to function normally not every person with nash develop cirrhosis but once serious scarring or cirrhosis is present few treatment can halt the progression a person with cirrhosis experience fluid retention muscle waste bleed from the intestine and liver failure liver transplantation is the only treatment for advanced cirrhosis with liver failure and transplantation is increasingly perform in people with nash nash rank as one of the major cause of cirrhosis in america behind hepatitis c and alcoholic liver disease stage of liver damage top causesalthough nash have become more common its underlying cause is still not clear it most often occur in person who are middle aged and overweight or obese many patient with nash have elevate blood lipid such as cholesterol and triglyceride and many have diabete or pre diabete but not every obese person or every patient with diabetes have nash furthermore some patient with nash are not obese do not have diabete and have normal blood cholesterol and lipid nash can occur without any apparent risk factor and can even occur in child thus nash is not simply obesity that affect the liver while the underlying reason for the liver injury that cause nash is not know several factor are possible candidate insulin resistance release of toxic inflammatory protein by fat cell cytokine oxidative stress deterioration of cell inside liver cell top treatmentcurrently no specific therapy for nash exist the most important recommendation give to person with this disease are to reduce their weight if obese or overweight follow a balanced and healthy diet increase physical activity avoid alcohol avoid unnecessary medication these are standard recommendation but they can make a difference they are also helpful for other condition such as heart disease diabete and high cholesterol a major attempt should be make to lower body weight into the healthy range weight loss can improve liver test in patient with nash and may reverse the disease to some extent research at present is focus on how much weight loss improve the liver in patient with nash and whether this improvement last over a period of time people with nash often have other medical condition such as diabetes high blood pressure or elevate cholesterol these condition should be treat with medication and adequately control have nash or elevated liver enzyme should not lead people to avoid treat these other condition experimental approach under evaluation in patient with nash include antioxidant such as vitamin e selenium and betaine these medication act by reduce the oxidative stress that appear to increase inside the liver in patient with nash whether these substance actually help treat the disease is not know but the result of clinical trial should become available in the next few year another experimental approach to treat nash is the use of new antidiabetic medicationseven in person without diabete most patient with nash have insulin resistance mean that the insulin normally present in the bloodstream is less effective for they in control blood glucose and fatty acid in the blood than it is for people who do not have nash the new antidiabetic medication make the body more sensitive to insulin and may help reduce liver injury in patient with nash study of these medicationsinclude metformin rosiglitazone and pioglitazoneare being sponsor by the national institutes of health and should answer the question of whether these medication are beneficial in nash top hope through researchwhat is most need in the management of nash is more research to well understand the liver injury find in this disease when the pathway that lead to the injury are fully know safe and effective mean can be develop to reverse these pathway and help patient with nash recent breakthrough in map the human genome and uncover the individual step by which insulin and other hormone regulate blood glucose and fat could provide the necessary clue the national institute of diabetes and digestive and kidney disease fund the nash clinical research network which comprise eight clinical center locate throughout the united states and a coordinate center at johns hopkins university the nash network research the nature and underlying cause of nash and conduct clinical study on prevention and treatment more information on the nash clinical research network and the location of the clinical center are available at www jhucct com nash top point to remember nonalcoholic steatohepatitis nash is fat in the liver with inflammation and damage nash occur in people who drink little or no alcohol and affect 2 to 5 percent of americans especially people who are middle aged and overweight or obese nash can occur in child people who have nash may feel well and may not know that they have a liver disease nash can lead to cirrhosis a condition in which the liver is permanently damage and can not work properly fatigue can occur at any stage of nash weight loss and weakness may begin once the disease is advanced or cirrhosis is present nash may be suspect if blood test show high level of liver enzyme or if scan show fatty liver nash is diagnose by examine a small piece of the liver take through a needle a procedure call biopsy people who have nash should reduce their weight eat a balanced diet engage in physical activity and avoid alcohol and unnecessary medication no specific therapy for nash exist experimental therapy being study include

I do not expect to get much of a response to this post because for most people it may either be too embarrassing or too private of a matter to talk about year of drinking may have damage my body in way I may never know or will one day soon find out however there are other physical sign and symptom that appear to be the direct result of the manner I choose to deal with anxiety and stress for more than 15 year one example of this is that I appear to have some sort of malabsorption disorder with my stool being very light in color very very light brown and with many of my bowel movement that float due to the fat content my bowel movement also have the same smell that I associate with either bile or stomach acid I have occasionally taste in my mouth in the middle of the night after go to bed too early after eat a meal in the come month I plan to have my stool test for its fat content and ph level which is something that many gastroenterologist do not do anymore because of the expense involve I also plan to get test for any vitamin deficiency I may have a recent ct scan and laboratory work suggest that I am not deal with pancreatitis nor pancreatic cancer for the time being however this do not necessarily rule out that these symptom are not due to some type of pancreatic enzyme deficiency I am include a valuable link to an article about malaborption disorder which provide numerous scenario that can lead to fatty stool http www helium com item 1524484 cause of intestinal malabsorption one of the many sign and symptom of list on numerous information website about alcoholic liver disease describe patient have either light colored pale white or gray stool while pale stool is often list as a symptom for alcoholic liver disease it appear that most clinician do not rely too heavily on its diagnosis because what people eat can also play a significant role in both the color and fat content of stool in the meantime are any of you willing to talk about what color your stool was at the time of your diagnosis and whether it was fatty do it float or not and for those who believe alcohol was the direct or indirect cause of any stool change have any of these symptom revolve from several month of abstain from alcohol for those who have hepatitis or cirrhosis not relate to alcohol do you have these symptom thank you in advance to those who are willing to share this very personal information which may be embarrassing to talk about sincerely jeff I plan to post a version of this post in the alcoholism support group by the way this friday october 23rd will mark two month of I being completely sober just like many of you who have been diagnose with alcohol induce cirrhosis have I know how daily drink even amount as little as 3 to 4 drink per day can damage the human body I would have never resort to this as my principal cope strategy in attempt to manage stress and anxiety in my life for so many year,negative,0

the biopsy is the gold standard test in measure exactly the amount of liver damage by grade and stage this is why it is so important for each and everyone of you to get a biopsy do nothing else measure both grade stage the grade mean the damage the stage mean how far the damage is extend there are four stage not count zero damage there are four histologic stage in liver injury due to hepatitis c stage I is characterize by inflammation without the development of any scar tissue stage ii feature include inflammation with early scar fibrosis in one zone portal of the liver stage iii show bridge of the fibrosis between adjacent portal tract stage iv is cirrhosis advanced scar with loss of normal liver architecture next grade or phase if you want phase I infection when the hep c virus get into the bloodstream it attach to liver cell enter they and start to reproduce the new virus make within the infected liver cell exit into the bloodstream where it attach to spread through the liver phase ii inflammation in this phase liver inflammation hepatitis develop under the microscope most liver cell appear relatively normal and uninjured but insome area there is liver cell presence of specific immune cell call lymphocyte phase iii fibrosis despite the mild nature of the inflammation and liver injury the disease commonly progress to fibrosis the formation of scar tissue in the liver if your liver biopsy show significant fibrosis it usually mean you ve have hepatitis c for more than 10 year phase iv cirrhosis when fibrosis increase the fourth stage appear with cirrhosis the fibrosis is so severe that it affect how the liver function and grossly distort the architecture and blood flow of the liver love respect mckenzie one day at the time,neutral,1

liver biopsy for a liver biopsy a needle is insert through the skin to remove a small piece of the liver nash is diagnose when examination of the tissue with a microscope show fat along with inflammation and damage to liver cell if the tissue show fat without inflammation and damage simple fatty liver or nafld is diagnose an important piece of information learn from the biopsy is whether scar tissue have develop in the liver currently no blood test or scan can reliably provide this information liver biopsy top symptomsnash is usually a silent disease with few or no symptom patient generally feel well in the early stage and only begin to have symptomssuch as fatigue weight loss and weaknessonce the disease is more advanced or cirrhosis develop the progression of nash can take year even decade the process can stop and in some case reverse on its own without specific therapy or nash can slowly worsen cause scarring or fibrosis to appear and accumulate in the liver as fibrosis worsens cirrhosis develop the liver become seriously scarred hardened and unable to function normally not every person with nash develop cirrhosis but once serious scarring or cirrhosis is present few treatment can halt the progression a person with cirrhosis experience fluid retention muscle waste bleed from the intestine and liver failure liver transplantation is the only treatment for advanced cirrhosis with liver failure and transplantation is increasingly perform in people with nash nash rank as one of the major cause of cirrhosis in america behind hepatitis c and alcoholic liver disease stage of liver damage top causesalthough nash have become more common its underlying cause is still not clear it most often occur in person who are middle aged and overweight or obese many patient with nash have elevate blood lipid such as cholesterol and triglyceride and many have diabete or pre diabete but not every obese person or every patient with diabetes have nash furthermore some patient with nash are not obese do not have diabete and have normal blood cholesterol and lipid nash can occur without any apparent risk factor and can even occur in child thus nash is not simply obesity that affect the liver while the underlying reason for the liver injury that cause nash is not know several factor are possible candidate insulin resistance release of toxic inflammatory protein by fat cell cytokine oxidative stress deterioration of cell inside liver cell top treatmentcurrently no specific therapy for nash exist the most important recommendation give to person with this disease are to reduce their weight if obese or overweight follow a balanced and healthy diet increase physical activity avoid alcohol avoid unnecessary medication these are standard recommendation but they can make a difference they are also helpful for other condition such as heart disease diabete and high cholesterol a major attempt should be make to lower body weight into the healthy range weight loss can improve liver test in patient with nash and may reverse the disease to some extent research at present is focus on how much weight loss improve the liver in patient with nash and whether this improvement last over a period of time people with nash often have other medical condition such as diabetes high blood pressure or elevate cholesterol these condition should be treat with medication and adequately control have nash or elevated liver enzyme should not lead people to avoid treat these other condition experimental approach under evaluation in patient with nash include antioxidant such as vitamin e selenium and betaine these medication act by reduce the oxidative stress that appear to increase inside the liver in patient with nash whether these substance actually help treat the disease is not know but the result of clinical trial should become available in the next few year another experimental approach to treat nash is the use of new antidiabetic medicationseven in person without diabete most patient with nash have insulin resistance mean that the insulin normally present in the bloodstream is less effective for they in control blood glucose and fatty acid in the blood than it is for people who do not have nash the new antidiabetic medication make the body more sensitive to insulin and may help reduce liver injury in patient with nash study of these medicationsinclude metformin rosiglitazone and pioglitazoneare being sponsor by the national institutes of health and should answer the question of whether these medication are beneficial in nash top hope through researchwhat is most need in the management of nash is more research to well understand the liver injury find in this disease when the pathway that lead to the injury are fully know safe and effective mean can be develop to reverse these pathway and help patient with nash recent breakthrough in map the human genome and uncover the individual step by which insulin and other hormone regulate blood glucose and fat could provide the necessary clue the national institute of diabetes and digestive and kidney disease fund the nash clinical research network which comprise eight clinical center locate throughout the united states and a coordinate center at johns hopkins university the nash network research the nature and underlying cause of nash and conduct clinical study on prevention and treatment more information on the nash clinical research network and the location of the clinical center are available at www jhucct com nash top point to remember nonalcoholic steatohepatitis nash is fat in the liver with inflammation and damage nash occur in people who drink little or no alcohol and affect 2 to 5 percent of americans especially people who are middle aged and overweight or obese nash can occur in child people who have nash may feel well and may not know that they have a liver disease nash can lead to cirrhosis a condition in which the liver is permanently damage and can not work properly fatigue can occur at any stage of nash weight loss and weakness may begin once the disease is advanced or cirrhosis is present nash may be suspect if blood test show high level of liver enzyme or if scan show fatty liver nash is diagnose by examine a small piece of the liver take through a needle a procedure call biopsy people who have nash should reduce their weight eat a balanced diet engage in physical activity and avoid alcohol and unnecessary medication no specific therapy for nash exist experimental therapy being study include

I have been think today after do a liver flush you see the flush is activate by no fat all day to let the bile and bile pressure build up in the liver then a high fat meal of oil and citrus juice is take to cause the liver to flush out the bile duct very effective what I am think now is that a continual diet that is low fat or no fat is not good for a person with hep c and liver damage the bile is full of toxin that the liver have process that it need to get rid of without oil or fat in the diet the liver just hang on to the toxic bile make a person feel not so good what do you think,negative,0
through my health struggle and chronically elevated liver enzyme I want to share this very important information particularly with those who drink a lot of alcohol or even alcohol in moderation I come across a website call www lipoglut com regard a product my doctor is have I take on the front page of this website it state how alcohol and tylenol deplete the glutathione storage in the liver substantially you can do more research on this yourself but what happen to I is that from bloodwork show a very low level of glutathione in my system plus totally miss one of the very important gene in the liver that help to detoxify the liver my liver enzyme are chronically elevate this is because my liver can not remove the toxin properly I am take glutathione or nac to help my liver but I think because I am have allergic reaction to the food that contain glutathione kale broccoli cauliflower brussel sprouts cabbage garlic due to a damage intestinal lining from drink alcohol also I am really have a problem I think I am allergic to sulphur I know as an adult I can not take sulpha drug as I have an allergy to they and this is from a permeable gut lining too so I fully understand now why alcoholic get scarred liver and that is because they have deplete their glutathione level so badly that the liver can not detoxify thing well I have to be careful even when take supplement and make sure that I am take glutathione along with they or my liver can not eliminate the toxin I am curious why no hepatologist will recognize how important glutathione is in heal a person liver I could take regular vitamin today I learn the cow come home and continue to damage my liver because of not have enough glutathione in my system to counteract the effect of the vitamin on my lab it was show 4 year ago I was deficient in b1 b3 folate and glutathione plus many other vitamin unfortunately for I my gall bladder fail and I was not refer to a gi doctor right away so I develop an over growth of yeast fungus in my system so take vitamin especially the b vitamin would really burn in my intestine this burning come from an inflamed and leaky intestinal wall due to drink wine excessively I crave the sugar due to have a chronic candida issue I hope that my research have help those people who are suffer from alcoholism relate liver disease eat plenty of cruciferous vegetable and get some glutathione or nac of course consult with an integrative medicine doctor too about your situation first take care everyone,negative,0

liver cell grow from patient skin cell treatment of liver disease possible sciencedaily oct 9 2009 scientist at the medical college of wisconsin in milwaukee have successfully produce liver cell from patient skin cell open the possibility of treat a wide range of disease that affect liver function the study publish in the journal hepatology was lead by stephen a duncan d phil marcus professor in human and molecular genetic and professor of cell biology neurobiology and anatomy along with postdoctoral fellow karim si tayeb ph d and graduate student miss fallon noto this is a crucial step forward towards develop therapy that can potentially replace the need for scarce liver transplant currently the only treatment for most advanced liver disease say dr duncan liver disease is the fourth lead cause of death among middle aged adult in the united states loss of liver function can be cause by several factor include genetic mutation infection with hepatitis virus by excessive alcohol consumption or chronic use of some prescription drug when liver function go awry it can result in a wide variety of disorder include diabetes and atherosclerosis and in many case is fatal the medical college research team generate patientspecific liver cell by first repeat the work of james thomson and colleague at university of wisconsin madison who show that skin cell can be reprogramme to become cell that resemble embryonic stem cell they then trick the skinderived pluripotent stem cell into form liver cell by mimic the normal process through which liver cell are make during embryonic development pluripotent stem cell are so name because of their capacity to develop into any one of eh more than 200 cell type in the human body at the end of this process the researcher find that they were able to very easily produce large number of relatively pure liver cell in laboratory culture dish we were excited to discover that the liver cell produce from human skin cell were able to perform many of the activity associate with healthy adult liver function and that the cell could be inject into mouse liver where they integrate and were capable of make human liver protein say dr duncan several study have show that liver cell generate from embryonic stem cell could potentially be use for therapy however the possible use of such cell is limit by ethical consideration associate with the generation of embryonic stem cell from preimplantation embryo and the fact that embryonic stem cell do not have the same genetic make up as the patient although the investigation are still at an early stage the researcher believe that the reprogrammed skin cell could be use to investigate and potentially treat metabolic liver disease the liver may be particularly suitable for stem cell base therapy because it have a remarkable capacity to regenerate it is interesting to note that the regenerative nature of the liver was reference in the ancient greek tale of prometheus when prometheus was catch steal the gift of fire from zeus he was punish by have his liver eat daily by an eagle this provide the eagle with an everlasting meal because each night the liver of prometheus would re grow the liver is a central regulator of the bodys metabolism and is responsible for control sugar and cholesterol level secretion of a variety of hormone production of blood clotting factor and have an essential role in prevent toxin from damage other organ in the body it is possible that in the future a small piece of skin from a patient with loss of liver function could be use to produce healthy liver cell replace the diseased liver with normal tissue recently the national institutes of health national institute of diabetes and digestive and kidney disease through the american recovery and reinvestment act have provide the mcw researcher in collaboration with markus grompe m d at the oregon health and science university a 1 million research grant to pursue the possibility of use reprogramme skin cell to study and treat metabolic liver disease use this support as well as donation from individual throughout milwaukee the medial college researcher are currently produce reprogramme cell from patient suffer from diabetes hyperlipidemia and hypercholesterolemia in an effort to identify new treatment for these disease,neutral,1

I notice a statement in another post by retirednavy that mention the liver and it get I think about my father I just find out that I am heterozygous factor v leiden positive my father have many health issue and is consider knee surgery so we think it would be good for he to be test my interest was peak by the mention of the liver role in clotting because my father have a liver transplant 10 year ago I start search the web and I have find enough information to make it seem like there is a possibility that a new liver could impact your clotting factor but I could not find any really good information it seem like they talk more about the donor being positive and not the recipient I am curious about whether or not the test for factor v leiden are still valid after a liver transplant is it possible that the result of this test could be change by the acquisition of a new liver or if he is also positive then the new liver would not change this I am hope his liver doctor can help shed some light on this but I think I would ask here to see if anyone know anything on this topic or could point I to some information that might be helpful thank,neutral,1

dr mark porter should we all be take vitamin d it could protect we against colon cancer improve bone strength and make we happy dr mark porter ask should we all take vitamin d dr mark porter 4 comment recommend 6 new research show that vitamin d may protect against cancer of the colon is the late in a long line of study suggest that there is far more to this vitamin than its traditional role in help to maintain healthy bone and although this new study involve more than 500 000 people from ten different european country it is pertinent to the uk because so many of we have low level of vitamin d a especially at this time of year so should more of we be consider supplement vitamin d is require to help the body make proper use of calcium a the basic building block of bone a which is why interest in it have traditionally centre on ricket a condition that result from severe deficiency but we now understand that it do far more than maintain the skeleton and that milder degree of deficiency may predispose to a range of other illness include diabetes lung disease osteoporosis multiple sclerosis miss rheumatoid arthritis various cancer and even alzheimera s disease the vitamin is manufacture in the skin when wea re expose to sunlight but our northern latitude and short summer mean that for six month of the year uv level are so low that most of we dona t make enough of the vitamin to meet basic requirement relate link is vitamin d the new wonder supplement schoolboy campaigner back vitamin d summit vitamin d shortage link to bone fracture the problem is compound by the use of sunscreen which far reduce natural uv exposure during the summer month when vitamin d store are replenish and the popularity of supplement contain vitamin a it is think that as many as 1 in 5 of the population take one which antagonise some of the da s action as well as manufacture the vitamin in our skin we also take it in from our diet it occur naturally in oily fish such as tuna and herring and liver milk and egg in most industrialised country it is add to margarine some powdered milk bread and breakfast cereal the scale of the potential problem is nicely outline by researcher from the university of sheffield who look at vitamin d level in the cord blood of baby bear at the hospital at the end of spring a the time when their mothersa vitamin d store were likely to be at their low seven out of ten of the baby have low than ideal level of vitamin d 90 per cent of whom were white dispel the myth that deficiency is principally a problem in ethnic minority with darker skin the extra pigment reduce uv penetration even far meanwhile in finland researcher track a group of people bear in the sixty turn up evidence suggest a link between low level of vitamin d and type 1 diabete later in life child bring up in the gloomy winter of finland are more than a hundred time more likely to develop the condition than their peer in sunny venezuela since then uk research have show that child give vitamin d supplement are around a third less likely to develop diabete vitamin d is a steroid and there are receptor on almost every cell in the body its link with diabetes could be explain by an action on receptor in the pancreas and on the various cell in the immune system but there are similar vitamin d specific target in almost every other organ include the brain heart muscle kidney and of course the skeleton little wonder then that there is grow interest in the role of the vitamin in disease range from miss to alzheimera s should we all be take a supplement ita s too early to tell whether mass supplementation is the way forward but it is now widely agree that the follow key group are those most likely to benefit woman who are pregnant or breastfeed child under

for an adult is 10mcg day and trial look at the safety of long term supplementation have report no adverse effect at intake of more than double that much high dose 50mcg a day or more can weaken bone

only be obtain in practice by sunbathe or take a vitamin d supplement provide burning is avoid the risk of skin cancer from sunbathe is minimal and a high vitamin d level almost certainly reduce risk

liver device help man survive until transplant victoria colliver chronicle staff writer wednesday july 1 2009 07 01 18 50 pdt eddie lopez a 50 year old san francisco man with cirrhosis go into liver failure in march arrive at california pacific medical center in a coma and was put on life support lopez was too sick to qualify for a liver transplant even if a donate organ become available make his odd of survival limit at good the odd could have been bad but the san francisco hospital he was in happen to be one of only seven institution nationwide test a new device design to take over the function of the bodys liver for a few hour or several day long enough to give the patient a chance to stabilize for decade researcher have struggle to create an artificial liver that would mimic both the liver ability to filter toxin as well as create vital chemical necessary to live unlike people with kidney dysfunction who can rely on a dialysis machine to keep they alive patient in acute liver failure have few option because of the organ complex nature the late device to be test is call the elad for extracorporeal liver assist device it is consider the first to have human liver cell which are contain in cartridge that the patient blood pass through to provide the liver crucial task a once promising device that use pig liver cell fail to receive food and drug administration approval because california pacific was involve in the clinical trial for elad the hospital doctor let lopezs family decide whether lopez should participate an opportunity his family decide he would want even if he do not survive because it could help other less than a day after he was hook up to the machine his sister dianna lopez say she notice his color improve and he become alert after three day he have to be remove from the machine because he develop an infection but he eventually become well enough to return home on saturday about five week after he leave the hospital lopez get the call he was wait for a donate liver have become available for he he receive a liver transplant saturday night and was recover at the hospital intensive care unit wednesday we believe the elad really do some good for he and help for he to be stable enough to get a transplant dianna lopez say it do its job dr todd frederick the medical center principal investigator for the trial say in lopezs case the elad do exactly what it was design to do the elad is not mean to replace the liver he say the goal for he was to support he through a critical period get he out of hospital and allow he to do the thing he need to do to get list for a transplant he say four patient at california pacific were hook up to the elad during the phase ii trial which end in april all have acute failure on top of chronic liver disease only two include lopez survive to leave the hospital the other survivor who have kidney disease and other health issue eventually die from pneumonia frederick say participant in the trial have to stay on the machine at least three to 10 day which is often long enough to allow patient to receive a liver transplant or return home to wait in some case patient may recover enough for the liver to regenerate avoid a transplant about 28 000 americans die each year of chronic liver disease accord to theu s center for disease control and prevention the cause is often the result of alcohol abuse or hepatitis c there also can be other medical reason a much small number about 2 000 people a year go into acute liver failure without an underlying disease the lead cause being an inadvertent overdose of acetaminophen or tylenol but donate liver are in short supply nearly 16 000 people are on the liver transplant waiting list but only about 6 500 get the operation last year the procedure most recently gain medium attention when apple ceo steve job undergo such a transplant it is great opportunity because it is a totally underserve market say terry winters chief executive of vital therapies inc the san diego company that make the elad their only competition is transplant and there are not enough liver out there to meet the demand the device use cell derive from a liver tumor because those cell unlike normal liver cell have the ability to replicate and maintain functionality winter say he say the machine filtrate device prevent those cell from reentere the patient body financial struggle the hope for the promise therapy may explain why the elad have survive while its business side have struggle the original texas company form in 1991 to create a machine use human liver cell go into bankruptcy in 1995 reform in san diego and go bankrupt again in 2003 it was quickly revive under the late incarnation winter say the elad concept have been sound the previous company have trouble come up with an effective clinical trial design allow vital therapy to raise 40 million in venture capital fund the company receive the late round of funding in 2007 28 million lead by versant venture in palo alto so far the device have been test on about 70 patient at the seven you s hospital early trial include patient from china bring the total to 119 patient worldwide

have my gi appt today the good news is that my liver biopsy and bloodwork were all negative for autoimmune hepatitis the bad news is that I have another form of liver disease call nash or non alcoholic steatohepatitis basically fat build up in the liver cause inflammation and this lead to fibrosis or scar fortunately the scarring is minimal right now but they want I on medication to prevent it from progress with nash there is a risk of it progress into cirrhosis and liver failure there are several thing that can cause it but for I the big risk factor are weight although I have lose quite a bit and the medication that I was on for the as now I am not sure if I will be able to take those medication again I will have to discuss that with they when the time come for now they will closely monitor my liver enzyme and I will have to take this medication I am also go to continue to work on diet exercise and weight reduction to avoid any further damage it is a little scary knowing that there is something go on with my liver hopefully it will just remain as is and I would not have anymore issue,negative,0

I was tell on a ct scan in june that I have fatty infiltration of the liver my alt at the end of july was 107 and my ast was 79 three week later I have new bloodwork and my alt have increase to 173 and my ast to 104 I know that alt is more important in show actual liver damage than the ast as it is more liver specific my doctor do not seem at all concerned about this my fast blood sugar was 120 so I may be diabetic my doctor is go to do a a1c hemoglobin test to determine if I am diabetic and if I need to go to an endocrinologist in the meantime I am very very very worried about my liver enzyme and the fatty liver he do not mention do a liver biopsy but I wonder if it is necessary I am try to lose weight and follow the diabetic exchange pyramid diet and also keep it low fat I do not have high triglyceride by some miracle but I am female 56 and weigh about 215 pound I have been overweight my whole adult life suddenly I am have pain in my upper right abdoman right where the liver would be I do not know if I am actually have discomfort there or if it is a hysterical reaction to being scared of have cirrhosis it was not hurt until about a week ago do anyone else with fatty liver have pain or discomfort there or is that an indicator that I may have cirrhosis what sort of prognosis is there for patient with fatty liver or cirrhosis how long can people live with this disease I am terrified that I would not be here to raise my kid I am really worried about this if anyone can give I some word of advice I would really appreciate it thank,negative,0
I was read thru various post and wonder what fatty liver disease have to do with swell in our ankle leg and so on then I think hey wait a minute I have swell in my leg now to be fair I do have a handful of illness lucky I laugh out loud so I do not know what was responsible for the swelling in my leg this past fall one night I sit for a long time in a half cross leg thing position and when I get up I have this huge dent in my leg yuck I remember my mom have this when she was being treat for congestive heart failure so I call the dr she take I thru an exam over the phone which was pretty easy since I have pitting edema and I have it all the way up to my knee she order a chest xray to make sure it was not in my lung I do have shortness of breath from time to time but I always blame it on asthma I have not have the xray yet because our insurance end when my husband workplace go out of business unexpectedly anyway I look up some information about edema and it is relationship to liver disease so the following is some of the information that I find and a link to the sourse I hope you find it helpful hug jilly edema at a glance edema is a swelling usually of the leg due to the accumulation of excessive fluid in the tissue the edema that occur in disease of the heart liver and kidney is mainly cause by salt retention which hold the excess fluid in the body in certain liver and kidney disease low level of albumin in the blood can contribute to fluid retention heart failure cirrhosis of the liver and a kidney disease call nephrotic syndrome are the most common systemic disease that cause edema excess fluid that accumulate in the lung is call pulmonary edema excess fluid that accumulate in the abdominal cavity is call ascite edema of unknown cause occur primarily in woman varicose vein or thrombophlebitis a blood clot in an inflame vein of the deep vein in the leg cause edema that is localize to the leg therapy for edema consist of treat the underlie condition restrict salt intake and often use diuretics medicine to induce urination why do patient with liver disease develop edema and ascite in patient with chronic disease of the liver fibrosis scar of the liver often occur when the scarring become advanced the condition is call cirrhosis of the liver ascite is excessive fluid that accumulate in the abdominal peritoneal cavity it is a complication of cirrhosis and appear as an abdominal bulge the peritoneum is the inner lining of the abdominal cavity which also fold over to cover the organ inside the abdoman such as the liver gallbladder spleen pancrea and intestine ascite develop because of a combination of two factor 1 increase pressure in the vein system that carry blood from the stomach intestine and spleen to the liver portal hypertension and 2 a low level of the protein albumin in the blood hypoalbuminemia albumin which is the predominant protein in the blood and which help maintain blood volume is reduce in cirrhosis primarily because the damage liver is not able to produce enough of it http www medicinenet com edema article htm,neutral,1

ok in the first issue of this subject I try to explain why I have issue with lactulose as a treatment for encephalopathy the main concern I have was that by use lactulose an osmotic pressure was set up between the blood supply and the low intestine which cause ammonia to be filter out of the blood supply thus reduce the impact of hepatic encehalopathy the issue here was that not only was the ammonia filter out in part but also was many of the nutrient and vitamin necessary for life food and its nutrient were being flush from the body before the digestive process have time to extract the goodness from the food so while decrease the level of ammonia lactulose also decrease the level of many other nutrient a post this evening by seeking2 raise a question about ascite the question being why do the volume of ascitic fluid vary when paracentecis is undertake so now we have two issue the first being he treat by lactulose the second being ascite treat by paracentisis and diuretics question is there a connection between he and ascite the answer is yes there is the connection between the two is portal hypertension portal hypertension is an increase blood pressure in the portal vein which carry all the blood from the intestine back to the liver the blood from the entire intestine the spleen pancrea and gall bladder enter the liver via the portal vein once inside the liver the vein divide in to left and right branch and then in to tiny channel that run through the liver when the blood leave the liver it enter the hepatic vein and go back to body wide circulation two factor can increase the pressure in the portal vein 1 increase blood supply flow through the liver 2 increase resistance to the blood flow through the liver the most common cause of portal hypertension is cirrhosis scar the liver due to alcohol intake imagine if you will the liver which in a normal person is like a sponge soft and squidgy blood is able to work its way easily through the liver as water go through a sponge in a cirrhotic liver most of the sponginess have gone being replace by scar tissue which is hard and not conducive to blood flow the liver therefore become an obstruction rather than a filter channel and from this several problem can occur the first problem that arise is varix small blood vessel form call collateral vessel which directly connect the portal vein with the general blood supply the most important of these develop at the low end of the esophagus and at the upper part of the stomach here these vessel become engorge and full of twist and turn and effectively become varicose vein these vein are liable to rupture but can be band to stop they bleed severe varix can lead to death the second problem that arise is ascite pressure in the blood supply go to the liver force ascitic fluid out of the liver and the intestine to leak into the abdominal cavity thus increase portal hypertension lead to increase volume of ascitic fluid the third problem that occur is wait for it encephalopathy because of the pressure on the portal vein new vein get form to bypass the liver some of these will end up cause varice but the other rejoin the main blood distribution system thus bypass the liver and all of its filter action one of the toxin remain in this unfiltered blood is ammonia ammonia accumulate in the brain and now we have encephalopathy therefore the condition of varie encephalopathy and ascite are all cause by portal hypertension phew so go a long way back to seeking2s question about why volume and frequency of ascite fluid change it is all down to portal hyper tension in my own case I go from 4th stage compensate to 4th stage decompensate in a matter of week my first paracenticis produce a whopping 12 liter of ascitic fluid subsequent draining do not produce anywhere near as much and indeed the last draining I have do only produce 5 liter what do change though was the frequency with which I need drain initially it start as every 7 week then every month and so on until it come down to have two draining in one week miraculously in april I have my last paracenticis and have been clear of ascite ever since what cause this to happen presumably the reduction on the need for have ascitic fluid remove was as a direct result of reduce portal hypertension that is reduce pressure in the portal vein ok why do the pressure in the portal vein drop this was presumably again that my liver function have start improve and indeed from april 2009 was when my condition and well being start its improvement successive blood test have show improved liver function as a result of not drink after 6 month without alcohol my liver function have improve to the point that it was no long an obstruction to blood flow from the portal vein please note that have ascite do not mean one have encephalopathy or varix but I believe that people who suffer encephalopathy also suffer ascite and perhaps varix please let I know if you disagree with this statement where do we go from here the next issue will look at other mean of address some of these issue particularly with respect to encephalopathy and how other way of address these problem may result in improve quality of life for many people comment appreciate as always I hope this stuff is useful and of some interest it certainly help I to sort thing out in my own mind

he was diagnose with cancer on the friday and move to a hospice and die on the follow tuesday the pain I am feel is almost unbearable for many reason which I hope you will not judge I for I begin work with s almost a year ago and we become close friend very quickly there was an amazing connection and we just love being in each other company as time go by we get close and I find myself talk about he outside work we would often be in contact in the evening and the weekend and he quickly become my good friend rather than being my colleague and boss I think I need to tell you now that I am openly gay s was marry with two child I never pursue anything with s but it was pretty obvious that we enjoy each other company in early december last year s take I by surprise and tell I how he feel about I although I feel the same I try to fight the attraction as I know he have a family but with we spend so much time together it was impossible he never want to hurt his family but he tell I how much he care for I and want we to have a future together he torture himself through christmas and agonise about what he should do next during december he was also lose weight and have some stomach pain but I think he and I just put this down to the stress of the situation in january he tell I he want to be with I but feel that he need to give it one last try with his wife so that he could look at his child in the future and tell they he try he want to do the right thing which I understand I love he and understand this although at the time I was quite distant as I was hurt a few day later he get some test result from the gp that indicate the possibility of a secondary cancer on his liver when he tell I we do not mention our relationship but just focusse on get his diagnosis treatment and how I would do everything I could to support he through his illness two week later he was admit to hospital he would been wait 2 week for a referral for mri scan with stomach pain after he leave work I visit he once in hospital he would visibly lose weight and I have to help he sit up in bed which shock I we talk about mundane stuff I do not say anything about how much I love he or how much he mean to I I do not want he to know how worried I was or for he to think or even consider he might die which I think he would if I would tell he I love he as if I was say goodbye in the last few week s buy I a key ring with a map of the town I am buy my first flat in on he was very excited for I he also text I to give I his favourite book that was on his book shelf at work follow this he have two week of test which initially prove inconclusive but cancer was then diagnose s have keep in contact via text throughout but do not tell I how serious thing were just that he was have a couple of hard day that his dad was stay with he and that I should not worry his wife contact work two day after his last text to I to say he would passed away from a very aggressive cancer my world have been turn upside down although nothing was for sure I would dreamt of a potential future we might have together the guilt I have feel over what have happen and the question ss wife may have have over his change in behaviour over the last few month have also been a concern despite the fact that I am not ashamed over what happen it would serve no purpose for she to find out what happen I have have to tell a few friend to help they understand what I am go through I am in agony work have been utterly horrendous though s run my division and I am now in charge I love work because of he and I am not ready to lead the team or feel in any position to do this because of the grief and turmoil I am go to I have never really have to deal with bereavement before but I think I could have deal with lose someone I love but lose someone I am in love with seem like the bad thing that could have ever happen the feeling of loss and the wondering of what could have been are unbearable I can not understand why these thing happen and can not understand what high force would allow this to happen I am not religious and neither was s but do not believe that religion could be of any comfort during this time I feel guilty about the pain I am go though as it can not even compare to the pain his wife and child are go through or his parent I do not feel I am entitle to any legitimate feeling of grief I am almost start to feel that I do not care about my life if I die tomorrow next week next year it do not matter I keep wonder what happen when we die I worry that he was in pain and that he was scared and I could not help he I was not there I attend the funeral last week which was very hard and I cry throughout people know I am struggle at the loss of a friend but they do not know the extent of how much I am suffer I do not know what to do now I can not see beyond each day I want to feel close to s but I have not get anything of his physically I would like to get in contact with his wife or family but I think this is impossible I speak to ss dad at the funeral and he was lovely say he would heard a lot about I I can not sleep and am have nightmare all the time he truly was a beautiful man I love and I can not bare to live without I know he would think that was crazy talk but I do not think he truly understand the depth of feeling I have for he I never have the perfect final conversation and I can not bare to think that he have go forever and that I will never see he again hear his voice feel his touch I also worry that I will forget he I can not ever know what might have happen but idealistically I now look back and believe thing could have been perfect this make the sense of loss even worse I suddenly feel very insecure s look after I at work and I know he would be in my life support I in some capacity forever I think I take he and his support for grant although I do tell he many time via text what he mean to I it never cross my mind in the last year though that I would lose he so quickly I do not know what type of help or support you can give but I need to say all those thing and have someone else hear they,negative,0
I read an interesting thing about bile salt in hepatitis magazine while milk thistle block fibrotic damage bile salt udca cut the elevation of liver enzyme in half in combination therapy with interferon udca halve the relapse rate of those respond the bile salt provide raw material to the liver lower inflammatory buildup the addition of licorice to bile salt also significantly lower ggt inflammatory level but licorice can have significant side effect if something reduce the chance of relapse I want to take it anyone know about this the entire article is below here is the link http www liverhealthtoday org viewarticle cfm aid 202 complementary and alternative medicine for hepatitis patient description if your current treatment plan isna t working find one that will by christopher maloney and d body there are many treatment available to those who suffer from hepatitis but some are more effective while some have more side effect than other the standard therapy include interferon which boost the immune system and ribavirin an antiviral drug add ribavirin to interferon increase the chance of suppress the hepatitis the new long last pegylate interferon have a great effect while thymosin and glucocorticoid steroid have no benefit the standard therapy come with a promise of benefit for up to 60 percent of patient but they also have significant side effect depression autoimmune reaction blood change and infectious disorder may prevent up to 25 percent of patient from continue therapy more importantly patient may not be good candidate for interferon therapy in a german study of hepatitis c patient 73 percent of patient do not meet the criterion for treatment the reality of multiple medical diagnosis make it necessary to find alternative for these patient for many patient there are no standard medical option and patient are leave to wait for the next medical breakthrough or to look for alternative on their own most doctor are able to provide little guidance beyond the standard treatment 3 simple rule once beyond the confine of the hospital a patient is likely to be bombard by supplement and plan that claim everything under the sun consumer therefore should follow three basic rule when consider alternative treatment the first rule is that if an individual is receive money from sell something he or she is unlikely to be a good source of objective information the second rule is that if something is suppose to cure everything it doesna t the third rule is that natural do not mean harmless and if side effect occur a person should discontinue use immediately too often alternative medicine is surround by magical thinking where normal body process are ignore simply because something was pray over or come from a shamanic recipe patient will continue to take it long after it have prove to be ineffective and or is cause significant side effect a physician need to be inform of any experimentation patient who are embarrassed to tell their doctor about experimentation need to realize that their reluctance may be life threaten the safe choice are either to stop experiment or to find a doctor with whom they feel comfortable speak freely doctor familiar with and open to alternative therapy are far more available now than they were even 10 year ago the american association of naturopathic physician and the american holistic medical association are two source of license doctor get milk thistle any alternative treatment for hepatitis should include milk thistle silymarin marianum long term study of alcohol cirrhosis find that take 420 mg of milk thistle daily decrease death rate by 7 percent milk thistle halve the death rate from acute mushroom poisoning and prevent lead poison destruction of the liver animal study show that milk thistle prevent destruction and preserve liver function milk thistle have no antiviral effect and have a side effect picture equivalent to placebo it is nontoxic and can prevent death at a cost far low than standard drug regimen while milk thistle block fibrotic damage bile salt udca cut the elevation of liver enzyme in half in combination therapy with interferon udca halve the relapse rate of those respond the bile salt provide raw material to the liver lower inflammatory buildup the addition of licorice to bile salt also significantly lower ggt inflammatory level but licorice can have significant side effect in 22 randomize trial the plant from the phyllanthus plant family were find to be equivalent to interferon in removal of hepatitis b marker in the blood although no large trial of the plant have been do a huge number of other plant have been show effective against the hepatitis virus in sudanese medicinal plant 34 of 71 plant have antiviral effect against hepatitis c of these eight have a great than 90 percent inhibition no human or animal trial have been do despite the fact that in the sudan standard treatment is unavailable a variety of chinese formulation also are effective in lower hepatitis c marker and both rosemary and tomato have been show to be protective of the liver gingko biloba have antioxidant property and was liver protective in a short term trial it is also a vasodilator that may affect bleed so it should be use under supervision dieta s important within the diet specific change should be institute immediately several study have show that low iron intake diet have been effective in lower inflammatory marker for patient with hepatitis patient in japan have significant inflammatory drop without anemia in india inflammation was halve when iron intake was halve none of these patient have been diagnose with hemochromatosis massive liver iron overload look at the liver function provide a context for the result of medical study the destruction of the liver from hepatitis result from chronic long term inflammation standard medical treatment increase the immune response with interferon while provide support with ribavirin if successful the virus is destroy if unsuccessful standard treatment try the same thing expect different result liver function is not optimize beyond restrict alcohol complementary medicine increase day to day liver function milk thistle provide antioxidant support while block toxin uptake by liver cell bile salt speed the processing of the liver and decrease its need to create bile salt rosemary and a host of other herb provide antiviral support but add supplement without remove other impact on the liver is like put finger in a dike maximize liver function involve the idea of a liver load at a give time the liver can process only so much material within standard medicine we see the overload of the liver as drug side effect and the occasional drug or alcohol overdose but like an overwork office worker the liver experience various level of load long before it quit daily living place a tremendous strain on the liver which process everything we eat it must take care of last weekenda s buffet in addition to the constant sleep deprivation and stress hormone add a chronic virus and the necessity for rest and repair in a frantic world and you have a recipe for fibrosis a constant routine eat a very healthy diet and minimize unnecessary drug and supplement intake include vitamin megadose will go a long way in preserve liver function one of the effect of decrease liver function is call hepatic encephalopathy the backup of unprocessed body toxin include ammonia affect brain function increase bowel clearance which remove process toxin excrete by the liver and gall bladder from the body have been show to be effective in decrease symptom another therapy is decrease protein intake do under a doctora s supervision the use of probiotic good intestinal bacteria may also be helpful in minimize liver load prior to experience brain symptom it would be wise to treat the body like it have a chronic viral infection patient are familiar with viral infection in the shape of cold or flus and may forget that the viral response of the body to a liver virus is similar rather than wait for interferon to boost the immune system simple treatment hot pack over the liver avoidance of sweet plenty of fluid and so on will certainly not harm and will help prevent other illness while there are no study on garlic and hepatitis garlic is twice as effective as drug antiviral against the flu and also act as a broad spectrum antibiotic patient take garlic capsule have half as many flus and the flu symptom last half as long in treat viral load one should look at the body as a whole rather than fixate on the liver load alone money matter chronic disease is a great drain on financial resource individual too ill to work may be unable to support themselves add that tremendous stress to the viral illness after exhaust standard treatment an individual might partner with a doctor to treat themselves for a chronic viral illness a possible treatment plan require no extra money would include eat brown grain very good quality oil nut and seed and a rainbow of fruit and vegetable a patient could learn to do lymphatic drainage massage and stretch exercise include tai chi or yoga liver processing could be maximize by regular small meal more bitter taste food which stimulate bile excretion and by gentle massage of the liver and abdoman or hot and cold pack over the area strong smell household spice include rosemary would be use freely an individual without a lot of money would be wise to research any supplement prior to purchase product with independent laboratory testing are available to all naturopathic physician any product purchase should be put through an individual objective trial for symptom resolution and lowering of liver inflammatory level three month would be the maximum trial with improvement often see within day milk thistle and bile salt would be high on my list of possible choice which also would include the phyllanthus plant family from reputable eastern importer the bottom line if your current treatment plan is not work for you find one that will,neutral,1

this is a very basic site I come across while look previous info on protein intake contradictory argument for against it is short to the point may help some new member with basic fact this is from the website canadian liver foundation I do not ever post article nor do I particularily like read they as sometimes as my gi would say way too much information but after read the late post specifically maggie craig theory on nutrition and so on for what it is worth I tend to agree w both of they I think I would pass this along as I am a firm believer in proper nutritional logical maintenance of oneself in what you consume and how you live attitude mindset is 1 2 the battle so anyhow if this help anyone in any small way then just puttin it out there so to speak manage liver disease through nutrition it is vitally important that patient with liver disease maintain a balanced diet one which ensure adequate calorie carbohydrate fat and protein such a diet will aid the liver in the regeneration of liver cell nutrition that support this regeneration is a means of treatment of some liver disorder patient with cirrhosis for example who are malnourished require a diet rich in protein and provide 2 000 3 000 calorie per day to help the liver re build itself however some cirrhotic patient have protein intolerance too much protein will result in an increase amount of ammonia in the blood while too little protein can reduce healing of the liver doctor must carefully prescribe a specific amount of protein that will not elevate the blood ammonia lactulose and neomycin are two drug that help keep the ammonia down it is believe that the risk of gallbladder disorder can be reduce by avoid high fat and cholesterol food and prevent obesity the gallbladder is a storage sac for the bile produce by the liver during digestion the gallbladder release bile into the small intestine through the common bile duct most gallbladder problem are cause by gallstone and 80 90 of all gallstone are produce from excessive cholesterol which crystallize and form stone by maintain a well balanced diet and avoid high cholesterol intake the incidence of gallstone formation may be lower when are specific diet restriction require beyond the maintenance of a good well balanced diet several condition that develop in the later stage of cirrhosis require specific dietary management hepatic encephalopathy hepatic encephalopathy is a condition of impaired mental function due to altered liver function it is often see when scar tissue formation cirrhosis in the liver prevent the normal flow of blood through the liver the blood which contain toxin is shunt or redirect back to the central circulation and into the brain without first go through the liver for detoxification cirrhosis with portal hypertension an elevation of the portal pressure due to the obstruction of blood flow through the liver may be treat surgically by shunt some of the blood around the liver connect the portal system with the systematic circulation this shunt blood contain high concentration of amino acid and ammonia and probably other as yet unidentified toxic substance that may cause alter mental function in some patient the treatment for hepatic encephalopathy is aim at reduce toxin that cause this disorder just as patient with cirrhosis who have protein intolerance must restrict protein intake so must patient with hepatic encephalopathy reduce the amount of protein in their diet severe protein restriction to 20 gram a day or less is impractical for long term therapy most physician will encourage their patient to take approximately 40 gram of protein a day and will prescribe lactulose and neomycin to decrease the production of ammonia in the intestine certain specific amino acid hepatamine may be less likely to cause hepatic encephalopathy and have even been suggest as therapy certain food vegetable milk contain protein rich in these amino acid and are prefer to meat as a source of protein in affect patient a dietary supplement rich in these amino acid hepatic aid is available and is in use in many liver centre ascite and edema ascite is the accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity edema is fluid build up in the tissue usually the foot leg or back both condition result from abnormal accumulation of sodium associate with portal hypertension and liver disease most affected patient will not require strict fluid restriction sodium intake is often restrict for patient with cirrhosis to avoid retention of fluid in the body such a diet would allow only 2 4 gram of sodium and would exclude can soup and vegetable cold cut meat condiment such as mayonnaise and ketchup dairy product cheese and that is cream most fresh food are low in sodium the good salt substitute is lemon juice which is salt free cholestasis cholestasis is an inability of the liver to excrete bile this may result in steatorrhea fat malabsorption due to inadequate amount of bile which dissolve fat in the intestine steatorrhea may go unnoticed by the patient or can be associate with weight loss due to lose calorie stool may be foul smell and float fat supplement are available the most commonly use being medium chain triglyceride mct oil and safflower oil which are absorbable with less dependence upon bile they may be use as a caloric supplement mct oil is use like any other cook oil in salad dressing or in cook patient with steatorrhea may also have difficulty absorb fat soluble vitamin however water soluble vitamin are absorb normally supplement the diet with fat soluble vitamin is possible though it should only be carry out under the guidance of a physician wilson disease in wilson disease there is a defect in copper metabolism patient affect by this disorder have an abnormal build up of copper in the body due to the inability of the liver to excrete it this inability allow the copper to accumulate in several organ first the liver and then usually the brain and the cornea of the eye treatment involve the use of a de copper agent penicillamine which remove the excess copper from the body dietary therapy for this disease include the avoidance of copper contain food like chocolate nuts shellfish and mushroom hemochromatosis hemochromatosis is a disease in which there is an inappropriate absorption of iron from the intestine the excessive iron then accumulate in the liver pancrea and other organ in the body patient with this disease should not be give iron supplement aside from this precaution those with hemochromatosis may follow a normal diet treatment is achieve by frequent removal of blood from a large vein fatty liver fatty liver is relate to alcohol obesity starvation some drug and other factor it is not cause by eat fat and it should be treat with a well balanced diet or the removal of the responsible chemical substance or drug finally patient with liver disease should be wary of supplement to the diet particularly fad food or package nutritional aid such food can contain a lot of salt potassium or inappropriate protein mixture those that are safe should be take only under a physician guidance,neutral,1

I want to post this because of a previous post and some s from member of this community and because it is so common there are 4 main mechanism cause of low platelet in patient with hepatitis c 1 hypersplenism or a large spleen from liver disease or cirrhosis as many of you know when you have liver disease you get splenomegaly or a large spleen because of the portal hypertension or back up of blood flow the large spleen sequester or hide platelet hence the low platelet thrombocytopenia 2 the liver produce thrombopoietin which is a growth factor for platelet so low thrombopoietin because of liver disease result in low platelet in some patient with hep c relate liver disease 3 interferon treatment cause a rapid and sustained reduction in peripheral platelet count by cause bone marrow suppression of platelet the addition of ribavirin actually help sustain the platelet count 4 immune mediate destruction of platelet is see in patient with hepatitis c even in those without evidence of liver disease and the presence of antiplatelet antibody can be measure in the blood in this patient question comment dr o,neutral,1

this is from dr murray and he is work with natural factor supplement he is a naturopathic doctor I stumble onto this while serache for article on low platelet statistic from the world health organization estimate that 350 million individual have chronic hepatitis the most serious form of chronic hepatitis is chronic hepatitis c chc it is suspect that there are at present more than 5 million people in the united states that are infect with chc and perhaps as many as 200 million around the world that is roughly 5 of the world population the death rate from hepatitis c exceed that from aids the drug of choice in conventional medicine for chronic hepatitis is alpha interferon a very expensive treatment that produce benefit in only about 1 3 of case fortunately several natural compound exert some benefit of their own and may also improve the effective of alpha interferon in particular glucuronate silybin phytosome and a component from licorice root have all show promise before discuss these supplement let I first prescribe a dose of common sense avoid put undue stress on the liver do not smoke drink little or no alcohol avoid caffeine and do your good to avoid harmful chemical especially clean solvent and pesticide the most important dietary guideline for support good liver function are also those that support good general health avoid saturate fat refined sugar and alcohol drink at least 48 ounce of water each day and consume plenty of vegetable and legume for their high fiber and nutrient content certain food are particularly helpful because they contain the nutrient your body need to produce and activate the dozen of enzyme involve in the various phase of detoxification such food include garlic legume onion egg and other food with a high sulfur content good source of water soluble fiber such as pear oat bran apple and legume cabbage family vegetable especially broccoli brussels sprout and cabbage artichoke beet carrot dandelion green and many herb and spice such as turmeric cinnamon and licorice green food like wheat grass juice dehydrate barley grass juice chlorella and spirulina in addition to these dietary recommendation there are three key supplement from natural factor that I recommend as a foundation for good health remember he work for natural factor a high potency multiple vitamin and mineral multistart a high quality green drink enrich green a pharmaceutical grade fish oil supplement rxomega 3 factor for people with hepatitis c additional support is need I would highly recommend take one serve of detoxitech a scientifically design drink mix pack full of hypoallergenic protein and specific aid to detoxification include fiber and substance design to boost glutathione one of the bodys key molecule of detoxification lastly I would recommend take liver health formula from natural factor two capsule one to three time daily with dosage being base upon a person size and severity of viral load here is a brief description of each component glucuronate is a nutritional substance use by the liver to bind to toxin to help eliminate they from the system this process is use to detoxify many hormone food additive toxic component of cigarette smoke and many other harmful substance in fact of all the many chemical reaction take place in the liver cell the attachment of glucuronate to toxic substance is consider the most important when glucuronate is ingest as a dietary supplement it reduce the stress on the liver and enhance the liver ability to detoxify through glucuronidation clinical study have show glucuronate supplementation can improve liver function considerably even in case of poor liver function due to alcohol abuse acute and chronic hepatitis exposure to toxic substance and diabete alpha lipoic acid is a sulfur contain vitamin like substance that play an important role as the necessary cofactor in two vital energy produce reaction involve in the production of cellular energy atp lipoic acid is an effective antioxidant it is unique in that it is effective against both water and fat soluble free radical it protect the liver from free radical damage and also help promote detoxification reaction preliminary clinical evidence have show benefit to people with hepatitis and cirrhosis of the liver silybin phytosome is a special extract of milk thistle bind to phosphatidylcholine a grow body of scientific research indicate that silybin phytosome is well absorb and produce well result than regular milk thistle extract silybin phytosome is one of the most potent liver protect substance know it protect the liver by act as a direct antioxidant and free radical scavenger increase the intracellular content of antioxidant compound stimulate the formation of new liver cell to replace those that are damage licorice extract contain glycyrrhetinic acid the active component that have been show to protect the liver from damage enhance the immune system potentiate the effect of the immune enhance agent interferon and to aid the liver in detoxification reaction clinical study with a glycyrrhetinic acid product in japan have show excellent result in support individual with both acute and chronic hepatitis curcumin is the yellow pigment of turmeric curcuma longa the chief ingredient in curry curcumin have demonstrate significant activity in many experimental and clinical study many of its beneficial effect are attribute to its antioxidant and anti inflammatory effect it have been show to improve liver function and promote improve clearance of

I keep test on the low side for platelet wbc and rbc I am wonder about something I read I read that the body put iron in the liver when there is an infection to hide it from the infection it say that the bacteria need iron to multiply so the body is hide the iron in the liver as a protective measure if there is a viral infection do the body hide the iron in the liver too and since the hcv virus live and multiplie in the liver do it do that because it have find the iron and since the infection do not go away with hep c and it being slow progressing is it possible that when your blood is test the iron is hide in the liver and do not show up in a routine blood test my rbc go down when my viral load go up from 1 8 million to 5 million I have read or hear that the virus can take vacation in many place in the body that although it replicate in the liver cell that it also travel in the blood stream and can camp out and take a break from replication hep c cell have been find in bone and other place in the body they can be dormant there for year and then get back to the liver and start replicate again which is why the virus is so hard to totally eliminate it is reasonable then to surmise that since the virus is not a cell it do not follow cell protocol and do not need to do anything at all to survive what kill the tiny viral unit I read an article about how small they are 3 million small pox virus lay in a flat circle would cover an area the size of a period if one of those virus was the size of a brick the hep c virus would be the size of a blueberry next to it,neutral,1

world population the disease is hepatitis c a contagious slow develop blood borne disease that can make 80 of those infect vulnerable to severe liver problem include cirrhosis and cancer hepatitis c was not even identify until 1987 a blood test for it become available in 1992 now a score of company are race to bring new treatment on stream out front are merck nyse mrk news with boceprevir and a partnership of vertex pharmaceuticals nms vrtx and johnson johnson nyse jnj news with telaprevir the market will be pretty much evenly split between the two say damien conover a strategist and senior pharmaceutical analyst at rating firm morningstar telaprevir may have a slight edge he say both drug are protease inhibitor which prevent a virus from replicate itself while they treat the same disease they are different in both result and side effect use on patient who have have no previous treatment boceprevir and telaprevir beat down the hepatitis c virus to undetectable level in 66 and 75 of patient respectively conover say both drug are likely to go to the food and drug administration for a verdict by the end of the year that mean both could reach the market next year right now it is hard to tell who s in the lead conover say meanwhile merck and vertex j j appear to be compete for headline a week ago the british base lancet medical journal carry a merck fund study show that boceprevir bring the virus down to undetectable level in 66 of patient over 48 week of treatment in combination with drug in use now the next day aug 10 vertex report study result show that some patient do so well after a 24 week course of telaprevir plus the current drug in use that they get no add benefit from a 48 week course of treatment the message telaprevir do the job in half the time merck acquire boceprevir with its 41 billion purchase of schere plough in 2009 vertex develop telaprevir with money from j j in return for marketing right whether one or both of the drug get fda approval the hepatitis market is about to undergo a major paradigm shift say steven silver an analyst at standard poor we ve go many year without a new drug on the landscape he say it is hard to know which drug will do well in real life and in the market because they have not been test head to head that is a long standing problem in the drug development industry prospective new product are test either against a placebo sugar pill or as in the case of boceprevir and telaprevir against the current standard of care for hepatitis c that standard is a combination of interferon and ribavirin it is a hit or miss treatment in simple term ribavirin is an antiviral medication that stop the virus that cause hepatitis c from spread interferon prevent viral replication in surround cell accord to the national center for biotechnology information it is not know if treatment with ribavirin and interferon actually cure hepatitis c infection prevent liver damage cause by hepatitis c or keep hepatitis c from spread to other people the standard hepatitis c treatment result in a reduction of the virus to undetectable level in few than half of case accord to webmd nms wbmd boceprevir and telaprevir are protease inhibitor in brief they attack the hepatitis c virus itself webmd say without head to head test with the same dose regiman and with the same kind of patient population it is hard for investor to figure out whether boceprevir or telaprevir will be the great success assume both get fda approval conover say but head to head study are often not in the good interest of the company he say they can show one drug so superior as to make the other unmarketable head to head study can backfire conover say accord to silver the investment community is try to ballpark the information release to date he see vertex prevail with telaprevir it is poise to be the market leader datum collect on real world use of these drug are still some year off the market will be watch boceprevir and telaprevir for the next three or four year silver say an important factor will be the success rate of the drug on people who have previously fail to respond to the standard of care that is not how clinical trial are run they are usually conduct with patient who have not have therapy the so call treatment naive use treatment naive patient create a baseline but do not approximate real life condition most people with a disease have try one or more drug ratchet up from least to most powerful and expensive another real life issue will be the side effect newly diagnose patient may find the side effect of either drug plus interferon and ribavirin intolerable the most common telaprevir side effect is a rash steven say boceprevirs predominant side effect is anemia that raise the prospect that another drug will need to be add to the regiman perhaps epogen the anemia fighting biologic from amgen nms amgn it is available as a generic in europe but remain brand in the you s another reason to think telaprevir have the inside track is the likelihood that it will require a short period of treatment silver say at the end of the day this race will be datum drive he say while there is been no head to head trial the exist datum should become available for close comparison at a meeting of the american association for the study of liver disease in boston start oct 28 by most count the global market for hepatitis c product is now 4 billion a year accord to a report from the commercial analysis firm research market that should rise to 8 5 billion by 2016 the reason for the growth the increase number of case and the new drug in the pipeline that will make treatment more accessible and tolerable,neutral,1

food as medicine by kathleen doheny healthday reporter tuesday april 8 2008 12 00 am tuesday april 8 healthday news caffeine green tea and tart cherry may guard against multiple sclerosis cancer and cardiovascular trouble respectively new research suggest all three finding which confirm the healthy property of these food were present this week at the experimental biology 2008 meeting in san diego caffeine appear to help ward off multiple sclerosis at least in a preliminary animal study mouse give caffeine were 75 percent less likely to develop the animal model of miss than those not give it say study senior author dr margaret bynoe an assistant professor of microbiology and immunology at cornell university school of veterinary medicine in ithaca and y the 25 percent who get it get mild case she say although she note the research is preliminary and the trial were in mouse that have the animal model of miss miss is a debilitate autoimmune disease and about 400 000 americans are affect accord to the national multiple sclerosis society in miss the immune system attack the myelin the fatty sheath that protect the nerve fiber in the central nervous system the myelin as it is damage form scar tissue that prevent or hinder nerve impulse from get through lead to a variety of symptom such as numbness in the limb or loss of vision treatment include medication physical therapy and the use of assistive device why do caffeine help caffeine is know to block a compound call adenosine inhibit adenosine prevent the infiltration of lymphocyte a type of white blood cell involve in immune system response into the central nervous system bynoe explain if the lymphocyte can not get in you can not get the inflammation characteristic of miss the inflammatory response is what cause the damage to the myelin cover the nerve cell bynoe believe her team is the first to demonstrate this mechanism in the animal give caffeine the equivalent of 6 to 8 cup of coffee a day for human there was a reduction in the inflammation the pathology a reduction in the brain pathology bynoe say adenosine play a crucial role in many body process include energy transfer the promotion of sleep and the suppression of arousal on the cellular level caffeine can bind to the same receptor as adenosine prevent the adenosine from attach to cell in the central nervous system the new finding is certainly deserve of further study say dr john richert executive vice president of research and clinical program for the national multiple sclerosis society but he have a caveat it is important to note that eae the animal model of miss is not miss and many potential treatment that have work on eae have not work on miss in a second study green tea extract already know for their antioxidant property that help protect against cancer have anticancer effect on cancer cell line in the laboratory scientist want to find out whether undigested extract of black and green tea cancer fighting compound know as catechin would have more anticancer activity against the cancer cell than digest extract say study author joshua bomser an associate professor of nutrition at ohio state university we set out to look at the effect of digestion subject tea extract to simulated digestion in the lab setting and look for change in biological activity between digested and undigested sample expose to cancer cell line bomser say in the laboratory study they find that whether the extract were digest or not and the type of tea affect the anticancer activity as do the type of cancer cell for the black tea digestion do not have much of an impact on colon cancer activity he say however the anticancer effect of the green tea on the colon cancer cell was about 50 percent less when the extract were digest and the gastric cancer cell overall were less sensitive to the anticancer effect than were the colon cancer cell more study is need bomser say but if catechin such as egcg are in fact the primary compound responsible for anticancer activity rather than the breakdown product you want to maintain and absorb as many catechin as possible he say in a previous study one researcher on the current team find that one way to protect the catechin from break down was to add lemon or vitamin c to tea the tea research is interesting and the result not unexpected say tom gasiewicz chairman of the department of environmental medicine at the university of rochester medical center who have study tea health benefit extensively to I it is not unexpected that digestion would be accompany by loss of anticancer activity he say the bottom line is we still do not know what concentration are effective and have anticancer activity in other organ besides the gi tract yet another team of researcher find in animal study that tart cherry help reduce inflammation in turn potentially reduce the risk of get heart disease and type 2 diabetes inflammation is a normal process that fight infection or injury but when it is chronic it increase the risk for heart problem and diabete the cherry contain antioxidant call anthocyanin believe to give they their anti inflammatory power the cherry study was fund by the cherry marketing institute but the institute have no other role in the study conduct at the university of michigan compound in the cherry say gasiewicz may work in similar way as the tea extract,neutral,1

hello all first time poster if thing go well hopefully last look for some info guidance on a worrisome finding here go 37 yr old male very physically active healthy diet moderate drinker all that good stuff however smoker vaper for about the past 20 year I smoke cigarette from 18 30 then transition to vape because like a lot of people at the time I think it would be a less harmful alternative when everybody start get sick from it this year I decide to see a doc and make sure I was all good I was not experience any specific symptom but he give I a chest x ray and take blood and urine sample nonetheless that was about a month ago the blood and urine sample show across the board good health however the chest x ray reveal what he describe as a small nodule on the middle left lung and he could not tell what it was so he order a ct scan I just have the ct scan today doc call back with a recommend follow up appointment to go over the result in a week as well as a recommend follow up ct scan in another 6 month I am try to interpret what all that could mean and the suspense is kill I I feel like the 6 month follow up ct scan might be encourage that make it sound like maybe monitor the thing is a good idea but arrange for immediate procedure is not yet necessary I am also choose to take my exceptionally good blood and urine result as an encouraging sign and for what it is worth the x ray tech also tell I I have huge lung which accord to he is for some reason apparently a good thing I have virtually none of the common symptom for lung cancer except that I have now been experience mild chest pain and discomfort in the exact area more or less that he tell I the nodule was discover and I am a bit concern this pain and discomfort could be a few thing first of all it start at the exact time I get the x ray result and I have a tendency toward mild hypochondria psychosomatic episode so it is entirely possible that upon hear potentially bad news my brain start make up symptom for a disease that is not there this chest pain discomfort is so mild it is also entirely possible that it was present before and I just never notice it until the doc give I incentive to start pay more attention a third possibility is that upon hear the result of the x ray I immediately give up vaping and have only cave in and smoke about 5 cigarette in the past month so perhaps I am just feel some side effect from not inhale garbage into my lung daily for the first time in 20 year a few other possibility could be that I am occasionally prone to heartburn gas problem and also as an active athletic type with an injury history I am somewhat prone to all sort of minor bodily ache and pain that I tend to usually ignore until give a reason not to ignore they or of course another possibility is that it is lung cancer I am just try to be realistic and consider all my option I have get a week of anxiety to deal with here while I wait for my follow up visit with my doctor to go over the ct result so here I am desperately hope for a reassuring opinion or two from a group of stranger familiar with this potential condition,negative,0

I am 38 male in average shape with average diet so a year ago I go to doctor to get a scan do on my back because of weird back pain I would be have in thoracic region seemingly unrelated to any injury they take x ray of my chest area and notice nothing except the doctor strangely feel my stomach may have a gastric outlet obstruction and send I for a ct scan of abdomen which rule out any sort of obstruction they draw blood seem normal ok one year later my back pain have come and go and return in same general thoracic area lately been as bad as ever I have also been notice pain in the tailbone area also unrelated to injury particularly after sit for a period I feel it may have been from slouch while drive so I have correct that and the pain have still persist it is get to point where I almost have to angle my body to sit on either cheek to lessen it this have been last well over month now I look online and notice a few people have note this tailbone pain with colon cancer I have been check my stool and notice no blood in toilet but do on occasion notice a tiny bit of blood on the tp my stool seem to be generally normal I guess sometimes narrow but not super usually soft ish and basically always light brown another symptom I sometimes deal with is strange shortness of breath for no reason do not smoke ever not a gasping for air but a feeling that I am not get sufficient oxygen even while sit I am wonder if all this stuff is connect something definitely feel wrong I have not been feel great for over a year and a half run down some day bad than other not sure where to turn next if I have lung cancer I imagine that would show on the chest x ray I have a year ago if I have colon cancer I imagine that would probably be indicate on the stomach ct scan any idea where I should go next something definitely is not right with I should I go see a pulmonologist have different type of blood test have a ct scan of my upper back instead of just the abdoman look for answer or suggestion thank you,neutral,1

hi this is my first post I m 44 and have never smoke although my father do so I guess I was expose to a few hour a day of 2nd hand smoke when I was young not really in the house much when I was a kid around 2 year ago when I was 42 I was have breathing problem and fail a spirometry test to be safe my gp in the uk send I for an x ray and then a little later for a ct scan the ct scan was not with contrast and last for must have been 5 second while I hold breath in my lung thankfully these come back ok the ct scan was 18 month ago around the beginning of this year 10 month after original ct scan I start get hip and low back pain and they have now get progressively more painful and are now constant that is also develop pain in a bone at my elbow and pain in my back between my shoulder blade especially when I breathe and even my jawbone have been sore for the last month obviously I m worried that something may have happen as my breathing as never recover either my question is is it possible for a tumour to have been too small to see on the ct scan but now grow and metastatise in my bone in that short time the start of my bone pain was around 10 month since first ct scan and now 18 month since with pain in other part of my body although I m still breathless I would say my breathing symptom are not any bad and that is not have any blood in my phlemn just the worsen bone pain I get a cough now and again but nothing major or for long I guess the scary one is the pain between my shoulder blade when I breathe in out what could be cause the bone pain to be so widespread,negative,0

hi all my journey start a month ago today think I was have a heart attack and when they xraye my chest they find a mass a needle biopsy was do and come back negative then I was send for a pet ct scan and that show a nodule 1 3 cm in my left upper lobe and that the needle biopsy miss the mass so I have a bronchoscopy which was also negative but they do not test for anything else so consider it a false negative and send I for another bronchoscopy which I get the result today which again state negative for cancer negative for fungal and bacterial so they want I to do another needle biopsy while we wait for the valley fever test cocci to come back but since I have a high suv 9 on the nodule there is also a gassy mass that indicate inflammation also just to note my lung are blue but the pulmonologist say I do not have the disease that would attribute to blue lung so he do not know why they are blue needless to say I am frustrate both my parent an aunt and her daughter all die from lung cancer I smoke for 23 year and have not smoke for 11 year I am 52 so am a good candidate for this to be lung cancer they are tell I if they can not get a diagnosis that I should have that upper portion of my lung remove anyway to be safe the lung surgeon even say it could be something other than cancer but they would not know for sure until they remove it and test it so to have every test I can have before they remove the lung do anyone have any idea or suggestion,negative,0

hi everyone my mom was diagnose with stage 1 lung cancer about a year ago after do her chemo treatment once every 3 week we get some good news that the tumor shrink to almost non existant she is suppose to do 1 more session of chemo but she is been have other problem that have pospone her last treatment it have been about 2 month since her last treatment and for about the past week or so we have notice that she have have trouble hear she was admit to the hospital and we were notify this morning that she now have complete hearing loss now the doctor there have not say for sure that it is from the chemo they are still run test but they think most likely it is and so do I I m just wonder is the hearing loss always permanent what are the chance that she will get all or at least some of here hear back if there is some chance she will how long can it take I just hate to see this happen and I have a feeling if it is permanent that everything will just go down hill from here I know hear loss is a small price to pay for have life but I do not think that she will think that way and do hear loss usually take this long to kick in after chemo have start I just think that if there would be symptom that they would kick in after just couple treatment she do start lose her hair after the 2nd or 3rd treatment,negative,0

hi everyone I have a right middle lobectomey about 3 year ago due to a typical carcinoid cancer tumor of about 7 cm grow in it my blood test and x ray have been good until my quarterly visit to the oncologist last week my late chest x ray show a pleural and parenchymal thickening in the right lung base since it have a different appearance on today study further evaluation is suggest my oncologist have no idea what it is and want to wait today I learn the next quarterly exam to see what it do I ask if it could be scar tissue as its near the incision area but he say scar tissue should not be grow big after more than 3 year of being stable I have have chronic pain in that area ever since the incision heal and was tell it was nerve that do not reconnect properly he also do not think it was the return of the original cancer either as carcinoid is a vascular cancer that like grow in the bronchial area and not near the chest wall I was just wonder if anyone else have have this or hear of it I am not sure I like the idea of wait 3 month to see what it do thank dave,neutral,1

hi I dona t know if ia m write to the right forum but anyway ia d like to share the story of my mothera s disease with you and ask what you think about the a treatmenta shea s get now and ia ll welcome any suggestion as to what should be do in this case on the side of the doctor and family member and generally what would be the good for the patient excuse I in advance that it will be a bit too long but I just dona t want to leave out any detail in case it might turn out to be important so the story is as follow my mom is 70 year old ia m 24 by the way and shea s been smoke since she was 20 as she is really old now shea s lose almost all her tooth and the few remain one occasionally start ache when she was eat anyway one year ago when she was have dinner she feel a sudden sharp pain again in her right tooth jaw but this time the pain wouldna t go away so she go to the dentista s a actually 3 or 4 dentist examine she in the course of the past year a but none of they could find anything wrong and thus couldna t ease her pain I cana t recall whether it was on the same evening the jaw pain start or a few day later that the right side of her neck get swollen and then she immediately go to the ambulance where she get some injection calcium if ia m right and that solve that problem and the swelling never come back againa the jaw pain remain thougha to be precautious about this neck swell one of the doctor send she to another medical department where they examine her throat and come to the conclusion that there is some lump and a mild oedema on her vocal chord but they tell she that no operation was need because this type of disease have a tendency to recrudesce and that this is something that generally doesna t become malignant in female anyway however out of precaution again from there she was send to the pulmonary doctora s office because of the hoarseness of her voice which have been around for decade by the way a and thata s when she was diagnose with a tumor in her right lung 5 centimeter 2 inch in diameter then but fortunately she hadna t been feel any lung chest pain until that time it was only 2 month ago from now that she start to feel some occasional pain there but something go wrong on the day of the ct she catch a really bad cold and thus was not in the right condition for the histological examination or for any further treatment for a few month in addition she was just really afraid of the histological examination anyway because she hear many bad thing about it and she think she would be risk her life if she undergo that examinationa but that was all 1 year ago so one thing lead to another there she was have this ever painfully throb pain in her jaw which become even bad when she was in a lie position no matter if she was lie on her right or leave side so she just opt to sleep in a sitting position every day rest on her left elbow hold her head with her left handa and even a lump develop on her head right where her hand use to rest I dona t know whether it was just a reaction of her body to the constant touching of her head skin or ita s already metastasis of the tumor moreover eat become a torture for she because of the increase jaw pain so she gradually eat less and less and lose quite much weight during this past year actually she was 65 kilogram at the beginning if ia m right and lose something like 20 25 kilogram a to be really punctual she was 165 cm tall and her normal weight was 45 kg throughout her life it was only when she retire that she put on some weight and have 65 kg so yeah basically I dona t know whether this loss of appetite was actually due to the lung tumor or the jaw pain but her reason was the jaw pain and maybe the jaw pain itself was cause by the tumor I dona t know and to make thing bad she start to take more and more general painkiller to ease the pain as much as 5 6 pill on some day but usually 4 after a while take more painkiller than food so no surprise that after a few month her stomach start to hurt as well at the end in the last 2 month there were day when she just didna t eat anything at all and on well day she would eat like 3 4 bite of food but at least she drink lot of water and tea and coincidentally it was one year ago too that I have to move away from home to another city because of my job and was able to be with she only 3 and a half day a week and a being a widower with an only child I a mom just become really lonely and inactivea you know before that we have some nice walk in nearby park or in the city center but since then she just go to the nearby shop every morning and sometimes she visit I at this other city but basically that was all the movement shea s do so she was mainly sit in her armchair all day watch tv solve sudoku puzzle read the newspaper or some classic crime fiction novel like most old people do but in the last 2 month she was mainly sleep almost all daya so her leg muscle become really really weak though her arm and hand remain strong but until the day she was take to hospital 3 week ago she was able to go to the toilet or to the fridge by herself by hold onto the furniture and to not leave out anything I have to tell that she start say strange thing 4 day before she was take to hospital a like call the mineral water a mouth washa and a phone booka and something about she see blue book tie onto the ceiling of the balcony on rope some hour before and tell I it was frightening she a so I dona t know whether she was really hallucinate have some linguistic confusion in her brain or just dream and not being able to tell dream from reality and I dona t know what could have cause it cancer metastasis to the brain starvation the painkiller dream or all of they a but it just last 1 2 minute a day and throughout the rest of the day her mind was totally clear normal anyway I tell she that these thing were non existent and tell she to ask I if she experience anything that seem impossible again before get frightened because probably they are just hallucination or dreamsa and she do she remain calm and ask I whether what she think to be happen was the reality or not as for her thought on her condition she was 100 sure that she have lung cancer with metastasis and that she would die soon and she decide that she want to die at home in peace avoid the hectic examination and treatment she would face in a hospital I was tell she almost every day that she should see a doctor but she just refuse it all the timea she say therea s a time for each and every one of we to die and that her time is soon over and ask to leave she alone to die peacefully but 3 week ago her brother visit she after like half a year shea s get a brother and a sister by the way none of whom visit she much in the past few year anyway her brother decide that it was now really time to take she to hospital so he and her sister take she there while I was away at this other city and a quick 1 day examination have been do like x ray but no ct and thing like that and at the end of the day the doctor want to send she to the department where the terminally ill patient are look after but her brother have some connection and arrange that the pulmonary department would accept mom among its patient but as I see it ita s all the same at this pulmonary department they have the opinion that mom is incurable and so they dona t examine she far after the first day they dona t even know much about her tumor only know that ita s probably 9 cm in diameter because the x ray show something like that and they dona t treat she with cancer medication and I manage to find out that they treat she only with the usual infusion a painkill patch on her back and 3 different sedative and thata s what really make I worried and question this a therapya why on earth would any patient need tiapridal seduxen and haloperidol all 3 of they apply every day what I experience at this department where mom is now is that they dona t inform the patient and not even the family member other patient are experience the same and I could only read moma s medical chart secretly when the nurse were away for a momenta and thata s when I see that what they say to be pill injection for nausea high blood pressure and tachycardia are really just sedative and rather strong sedative I must say so strong that now ia m unable to communicate with mom because either shea s sleeping or talk like an infant say non sense thing and have almost no articulation so ita s hardly understandable on the rare occasion the sedative start to lose their impact on she she is read the newspaper and solve some sudoku puzzle like she do before the hospital but then after some 10 15 minute the nurse come again inject some a stuffa in she and then shea s go again mentally and spiritually as for the other condition there as soon as she get there they immediately apply a catheter although they know that she is able to urinate by herself and put a rolling toilet chair beside her bed for the a othera thinga and she could climb down the otherwise really high bed by herself if she want to use the toilet chair in her room ita s a 3 bed room by the way there is no handrail to hold onto when she want to get up there is only the rolling overbe table she can hold onto but one time when she want to get up this rolling thing just capsize and mom fall off the bed so they put rail on her bed so now shea s unable to go anywhere or even to sit up because her leg dona t fit through the bar of the rail and of course after 1 more day they just get bore of mom want to get down to the toilet chair and decide that they wona t take down the rail every time so they put a diaper on she instead a which she take off whenever her mind start to clear from the sedative because she still feel shea s able to go the toilet chair by herself and she doesna t want to make any a messa in her bed and then lie there cover in it the other thing is that the nurse dress up mom almost every time in a way that the catheter pipe is direct towards her back and the pipe itself and some bump on it hurt moma s back because shea s lie on the pipe all day so shea s complain about this back ache all the time and they mainly think ita s her lung that are ache and give she some painkiller and sedative againa and my explanation for they was basically useless because okay they change the pipe to the other direction downwards right away but they just forget it by the next day so everything stay the same and mom is still have the same pain and there is some in bed bathe washing but that doesna t include brush the patientsa tooth so they just remain unwashed for day until I manage to visit mom and brush her tooth myself and sometimes the nurse ask I to give the pill to mom myself which I think is really cruel know that they are nothing but sedative although they dona t know that I know what they are well otherwise mom seem to have a tendency to get a really bad oedema from the cannula and even her other before midday get swollen as well where there is no cannula at the time and of course shea s have all the symptom of nicotine withdrawal as shea s not been smoke since shea s in hospital for 3 week and at first she just want to go home all the time but as soon as I could first visit her 3 day after she was take in I tell she that the doctor say she was incurable and that she would have been dead by then if she wasna t take to hospital and hear all this really suprise mom and she start to take her physical condition more seriously and she say that a okay then I opt to stay in hospital because it seem they can somehow keep I alive and we can be together for some more time and maybe there is some hope that they can strengthen I up with this infusion and then later maybe I can get cancer treatmenta it was all before they start that heavy sedation treatment but we also decide together that I would bring she to the hospital of this other city where I live so that I could visit she every day and that would be a spiritual relief for she although there is a special lung sanatorium here in my city and there is a doctor that offer to treat she that doctor also say that mom have to be in a condition well enough for the examination and radiation therapy because all they can do in their insitution is to give she a 5 6 day treatment and then let she go home and she say the decision is up to I if I choose to still bring mom here now or later but she recommend to bring mom to my citya s chronic department instead where probably they could strengthen she up a bit so maybe after a while she could reach a well physical condition and that other treatment at the sanatorium wouldna t be so risky then and her present doctor tell I the same before that she doesna t dare to send mom to any further examination even inside the town because there is a risk that she could die on the way there but moma s tell I that even if she would die on the way leta s do it because if she die it would mean that she would have die anyway in a few day even if leave undisturbed but if she survive the examination then there would be a hope for cure her disease otherwise every doctor I contact here in my city a hungarian city call szege which have a famous university with many faculty and have 2 hospital and many clinic a so after read that 1 page examination sheet we get after that quick 1 day examination on moma s first day in the hospital every doctor in szege say that base on those symptom and physical condition describe there they think moma s not in such a bad state as her present doctor say and that they dona t know any possible reason that could exist for that heavy threefold seduction they apply there except that the doctor nurse there are too lazy and dona t want mom to complain or anything and they say that even care for she at home with no medication at all would be well than this a treatmenta shea s get now but my problem is now that moma s brother and sister dona t want I to bring mom here because they think the chronic department would be bad than this present one because there mom would see patient die every day beside she and that would be really despirite for hera true but what they dona t know is that even at this present department patient die almost every other day maybe because they get the same treatment as mom or simply because cancer is such a deadly disease ia m the one who spend the whole day there and I see everything that go on around there not her sibling they her sibling also say that they think this seduction I was write about may be a part of ease her pain that was their explanation so they want mom to stay where shea s now because they say now shea s get a friendly roommate who can help she call the nurse when need but at the chronic department every patient is basically die and they cana t help each other and they also tell I that when the time come for the pulmonary department to send mom to the department of the terminally ill they want to pay so that mom could still stay at the pulm dept until the day she die because they think ita s a much well place and her sibling are legally as close relative of she than I am if ia m righta so legally thata s just 2 against 1 so ia m just start to feel hopeless about I ever being able to win against they and bring mom to my town and moma s brother is even a judge and lawyer soa but all I know is that I take my mother there 3 week ago and even then she could walk with aid we have some nice chat she was read the paper she was curious about what was happen in the world she make friend with her roommate and then a few day later they start to apply those sedative and since then it is only an almost totally unconscious body ia m visit 4 day a week ia m just sit beside her bed all day and shea s lie there and sometimes reach out her arm towards I to indicate that she want to sit up in the bed and then I help she but we cana t really talk to each other and then when finally her mind start to clear and she start to talk the nurse come and a mutea she again with that junk and I just dona t know whether there is still a clear sane or an insane mind behind the sedative and if she really go insane by now is that because it would happen anyway or the sedative cause something adverse and irreversible so yeah if shea s really insane then I would say that a okay leta s keep she where shea s now because ita s all the same for she whether shea s here or in another citya but if shea s still sane and would be her normal self again if they stop sedate she then I would just like to help her escape from there or even take care of herself at home myself although I know that it would be really hard but hey that was what I was do until 3 week ago anyway and I was able to manage it somehow so what do you think about this situation what can a 24 year old girl I do when she and her moma s got leave no one but each other to trust my father die grandparent die ia m her only child and her sibling are against our plan and we just want to be together in the sense of both geographically and spiritually close do you think it is possible to come back from such a mental state and regain her normal self state what do you think would be good for she leave she alone and not disturb she with the transportation to another city because it may increase her physical pain or would even kill she or try to do anything thata s possible to save she from the mental stupor shea s in now these are just some question that come to my mind presently but ia d really welcome any advice on any aspect of the situation thank in advance bogi,negative,0

because of our mom lung issue we have been have a roller coaster ride in the last 2 month the story start about 2 month ago after a lung x ray the report point to high possibility of lung cancer because something very suspicious was find on the image of my mom lung and our emotional roller coaster journey officially start then my mom was refer to have a ct scan this time the result come out much more positive the suspicious stuff see by the x ray was not find in the ct scan and the report say that most likely my mom just have lung disease so we were relieve we understand lung disease should not be take lightly but still it is much much well than cancer but then when we meet the oncologist he say the ct scan result is good but it could not completely rule out the possibility of cancer he was also concerned about the high cancer index of my mom from a blood test so he refer my mom to a lung specialist for a biopsy we become very worried again then the biopsy was do we call for the result we were tell that nothing suspicious of cancer was find so we think finally the possibility of cancer have been rule out by the biopsy and we were once again relieve and celebrate but then when we meet the lung specialist today we were tell that the sample of the biopsy is very small so it still can not rule out the possibility of cancer he say sometimes a cancer tumor is too small so a small sample biopsy like our mom have might not be able to catch it and the only way to be more sure is to have a surgery to take out a large sample for biopsy again but because of the age and health condition of our mom he do not recommend do that so he schedule my mom for another ct scan in december to monitor it so we are now back to ground zero and very worried again I hope someone can help I to understand the situation should we still be very worried or should we see what have happen as positive I am very confused now,negative,0

my father was diagnose with squamous cell carcinoma back in nov he is been through radiation treatment and about 7 chemo treatment since then wednesday his blood pressure drop drastically and they send he to the emergency room where they say he must be bleed internally and check he in to stabllize he he is 78 with diabetes and normally have high blood pressure but since being diagnose have been put on a pacemaker and take cumadin sp they have been give he blood transfusion on 3rd bag as of yestesday and his pressure was up to 115 44 by yesterday afternoon they do not want to operate and say they want he to heal himself which sound ridiculous to I but I am not a doctor as far as I know no test have been perform to find out where he is bleed from anyway to my question what do the abnormally low diastolic pressure mean consider they think he is bleed internally and is receive blood transfusion my mother say he is improve because his systolic pressure have increase from 70 but I am concerned that his diastolic prressure is still very low is not this something to be concern about if they think he is bleed internally what would normally be do in this case what kind of test should they be dong besides just monitor his blood pressure to find where he is lose blood,neutral,1

I am 32 white male about 70 pound overweight and have been smoke approximately a pack a day since I was 13 until recently I have never have health insurance a couple week ago when my insurance kick in I go to the doctor for some allergy like symptom in my throat and right ear that I have been have for over a year while I was there the doctor decide to do a chest x ray since I have been a smoker for so long the x ray show what appear to be a nodule about 3 4 of an inch in the low right lung the doctor who I do not plan to see ever again was quite cold and say that might be lung cancer and schedule a ct scan I was in the room by myself with the x ray for about 10 minute before the doctor come in and do not see anything that appear abnormal but of course I am not a doctor but after he point it out the nodule do appear as a small round whiteish spot after come home and research pulmonary nodule I was completely devistate and worried I become convinced I have lung cancer I then remember that last year I was in the er for heart palpitation I have have the palpitation for about 8 year but last year I have a string of they that last several hour and go to the er while at the er they do a chest x ray which I go and get a copy of to my dismay there was no nodule on the er x ray from last year in addition the note attach to it say everything was normal and that the x ray was unremarkable this make I worry even more well today I go in for my ct scan which if it matter was without contrast when I was do the nurse machine operator come out and say she could see nothing on the ct scan at all everything look normal I was really relieve she say just to be sure she would have the radiologist look at it as well before I leave since she know how concerned I was the radiologist could find nothing at all either so what s the deal the other day after the doctor point it out the area of the nodule clearly look different than the rest of the lung plus after come home and search for picture of pulmonary nodule on the internet they appear the same as the one on my x ray so why do the ct come back as normal and not show anything should I still be worried would the fact that they do the ct without contrast make it not show up I still have not talk to the doctor that take the x ray last week but I am assume that like I the radiology center will tell he that it was normal and that the do not see anything for what it is worth the x ray machine the doctor office where they find the nodule was pretty old look the old x ray that I retrieve from the er from last year that come back normal was much clear I ask the nurse at the radiology center about this and her explanation was that in many case doctor simply are not that great at read x ray and make the wrong diagnosis any info on this is appreciate p s as soon as I know I am in the clear with all this I do plan on quit smoking and lose weight this have been a real eye opener for I thank,neutral,1
this is long but if you have time please read it and give I your thought I am a 32 year old male pretty overweight 6 2 280 pound around 200 is my ideal weight been smoke around a pack a day since I was 13 or 14 until around age 25 I was normal weight but around that that time I quit a heavy drinking habit and start gain weight I suppose I substitute malt liquor for mcdonald without think about it when I was about 27 I start have heart palpitation go to a cardiologist and he say that I have a some slight regurgitation in my mitral valve that was not anything to worry about and that I should quit smoking he say the palpitation were nothing to worry about as well and were not life threaten for awhile the palpitation were quite disturbing but over time they go from one or two episode a day to a couple a month and they really do not scare I that much anymore however a couple time I have have a few extend episode where they keep come back to back for several hour and each time I go to the er last year in february was one of these extend episode at the er as they have do all 3 or 4 time I have end up there they basically assmue I am have a heart attack and do the basic blood test to check for heart attack and do chest x ray each time there was no evidence of heart attack and they say to lose weight and quit smoking which regretfully I still have not do I have cut back from a pack a day to 4 or 5 and lose 20 pound after I quit drinking soda and fast food but I still need to quit smoking entirely and seriously focus on lose weight anyway last summer I start have some irritiation in my throat ear and eventually in my chest basically feel like a minor cold that would never go away my throat is never really sore just scratchy and the upper part of my chest always feel raw like I have been jog in cold air I have insurance now which is not that great of insurance but it is well than nothing but it only recently go into effect back when all this start I was go to a local free clinic for medical care I go to the free clinic twice with no explanation really the first time they say allergy and the second gerd which I do not think is the problem I sould also mention that this irritation in my ear throat and upper chest is entirely on my right side the left side feel fine I also go to an ear nose and throat doctor and pay out of pocket with no explaniation either except to quit smoking well now that I have get insurance I make an appointment with a real non free clinic doctor I tell the doctor what was go on in my ear throat chest but instead of try to find out what the problem was he give I this holy than thou type attitude and lecture I for 15 minute about my weight and how I should quit smoking which I already know about he say to try some benadryl and that it is allergy I tell he that I already try an anti histimine but he just go back to my smoking and say he want a chest x ray they do the chest x ray and everything was normal except for about a per annum sized spot on the very low part of my right lung he say that it might be cancer great I go for answer and walk out with more problem he consult another doctor and the other doctor seem reluctant to on a ct scan but say to do it anyway both doc say it might be from a past fungal infection and might not be anything to worry about but want a ct anyway well after I leave thi office I go back to the hospital er where I have my last chest x ray back in feb of 08 they give I the image on a cd and I take they home and look at they I was curious if the spot was there in the old image it was not however the x ray from the hospital was much cleaerer and high quality look than the one from the doctor office the x ray machine in the doctor office today look like it was from the 70 and actually have part fall off of it maybe I am just try to convince myself that it is nothing but do you think that the spot they see today was just an anomoly on the film and not actually a spot is this possible give the fact that I have been a smoker for so long have this thing in the right side of my throat ear and chest for so many month I was already scared of cancer and now I am even more worried plus the spot was not there a year ago another thing that I am worried about is that my insurance only cover up to 10 000 dollar per year the doctor today say that the ct I will be have is only about 800 to 1200 dollar but I have a ct do in the er several year ago when I was have extreme unexplained abdominal pain and it was over 6 000 dollar likewise my wife go into the er with a bad bladder infection and they do a ct and she get a bill for almost 7 grand base on what I have read they will probably want to do another ct in 3 month to see if the nodule have grow if the first one is over 6 000 buck I just would not be able to have it do again until next year just pay the 20 percent on 10 000 is go to be hard enough I am really worried and concerned and any advice or anything you can share is greatly appreciate I know I need to quit smoking and am plan on quit this weekend as soon as I can afford some nicotine gum I quit for 4 month with nicorette a few year ago and it was not that bad so I know I can do it again I have to quit this time I also plan on continue to lose weight and put more effort into do it I guess I am just one of those people that think I will never happen to I now it feel like it is happen to I thank and sorry for the long post,negative,0

I have been on tarceva 150 mg since september 2007 for some lung met that develop from my squamous cell carcinoma of unknown primary lung met are consider part of the non small cell cancer group though the cancer do not begin in the lung begin the tarceva at first do not seem to do much for I and though I have a mild rash in a couple of area of my face it go away quickly I also lose my upper eyelash most of they and I notice more hair come out in my brush than normal but not excessive after 6 month on tarceva the miss eyelash are the only side effect I have in november of 2007 I ask my doctor if we could add celebrex to my tarceva treatment as I read it sometimes activate a response in people who normally do not get one on tarceva alone after 1 week on the tarceva celebrex combo I notice a big difference not so much in my rash but in my breathing I do not even know my breathing was effect by the lung nodule until I take the tarceva celebrex combo and could breath so deeply again I continue on this combination and have ct scan every 2 month each scan show no tumor growth and incredible tumor cavitation in the nodule I also have a large tumor on my left leg groin area that is a recurrence from the original radical inguinal lymphnode resection this tumor also do not grow during my time on the combo unfortunately this large tumor also do not shrink on the tarceva so I will be under go radiation treatment to shrink it while remain onthe tarceva celebrex I happen to notice that when I also take vitamin c supplement during the day 1000 mg regular vitamin c I would get a well response to the tarceva celebrex combo too a couple of thing to note here 1 I am not an ideal candidate for tarceva per their criterea I am a caucasion female smoker never have chemo and so on 2 cavitation use to be consider a poor prognosis but now with the new monoclonal and egfr receptor meds like tarceva cavitation may actually be a sign of progression free and long survival cavitation is now a good sign 3 tarceva alone may not work on some but combine it with anti inflammatorie like celebrex may open up treatment possibility for many more lung cancer patient and other cancer too 4 I am not sure how the vitamin c work with the combination but I have try it enough to know it is a definite factor in response the reason I am write this is for patient information I have read so many post where people give up or their doctor give up on the tarceva due to the lack of prescribed response but they should not not everyone must have a terrible facial rash for tarceva to work tarceva alone may not work for some but when add celebrex 400 to 800 mg per day it may activate the tarceva and you may get a great response you do not have to be an asian female nonsmoker for tarceva to work as is state in some study because smoke lower your vitamin c level it could be that supplement with it restore something in your body that help the tarceva celebrex work I am not sure it is just speculation this have just been my experience but it is something that should be study or offer to patient who are not get a good response from tarceva alone,neutral,1

I have discover what appear to be a lump under my rib cage though it could quite easily be my actual rib which is lumpy I use to smoke although quit about five month ago and with the exception of the odd one or two I have manage to quit pretty much solidly it do not hurt when I breathe deeply in or out and the pain is only occasional and seem to be across the right of my rib cage my obvious concern is something cancer relate though it could just as easily be a bump or a muscle strain I guess anyone suffer the same,neutral,1

have anyone have gamma knife surgery for brain metastisis my wife aunt in canada was recently diagnose with stage 4 lung with met to brain we visit she and she is in good spirit we were surprised in a good way with her level of energy which allow we to visit with she more than we think we would she have have have full brain radiation lose her hair and have also have a round of chemotherapy she will be do more round of chemo in the near future she have radiation to the brain for the 2 brain met but I have read that gamma kiife surgery is a more direct and successful treatment rather than the general radiation she have one of her son is push for shark cartilage injection and many of her neighbor were suggest other method of treatment we ask she to inquire about the use of tarceva and avastin she have express her desire to go the route suggest by her physician and then would consider any other treatment but having read so many positive article we want to encoruage she strongly to seek gamma knife surgery for her tumor where ever they might be able to use it include her brain if what we have read about this type of direct radiation is true I would think gamma knife would be the first line of treatment for cancer patient why would full brain radiation be opt for if this is less stressful to the patient in many way and much more effective anyone have any info,neutral,1

often I see people come here frustrate with their doctor take a wait and see attitude when they see small nodule of less then 4 mm in their lung note this is mm not cm as there is a big difference in the two I ask my friend who is a pulmonary doctor that yes I would trust with my life why the doctor seem to take the wait and see attitude rather then the find out now attitude and here is what his reply was there is now excellent datum from dr claudia henschke in new york that nodule 4 mm or less in size are generally benign and that wait twelve month before the next scan is acceptable in her publish paper a nodule 4 mm or less never grow into a cancer in less than one year however it is still recommend that all nodule be follow no matter what the size here are some generally accept fact 1 nodule less than 1 cm are very hard to biopsy conclusively so a negative biopsy on a small nodule may not be correct 2 any nodule that do not change size over a two year period of time is consider benign by all authority 3 the only conclusive way to be certain that a small nodule is benign is to remove it entirely however many patient have too many nodule and are too sick to undergo the surgery that is why doctor wait many time if patient get frustrate it is because the doctor do not explain these fact well I hope this help some of you sleep a little well tonight doctor usually follow standard of care or protocol which can save they from being sue and as you all know too many people are out there eager to sue doctor so the above info should help you see why they often say wait and recheck and the length of time have to do with the size of the nodule too much radiation can lead to lymphoma and leukemia later so they are also try to avoid that make sure you do understand that they are talk mm not cm when they say you have a nodule remember huge difference in 4 mm verses 4 cm the good advice I can give anyone that have just learn they have a nodule is to find a doctor that make you comfortable that you can talk to and ask question if you are not happy as the doctor do not explain thing to you or answer question find a new one that will get 2nd opinion as doctor can make mistake as they are only human though some of they want to believe the myth that they are indeed god I know many doctor very well and believe I there are many in that group that I would not let near I so sometimes you have to shop around for the correct doctor for you hope you all have a good weekend janmarie,neutral,1

I am scared yesterday I go to visit my dad in the hospital he have pheumonia and I have a bad coughing spell in his room I have have this cough for about 3 month I am a smoker and wish I was not after my visit with dad yesterday I go to my family doctor and I was lucky enough to get in to see he that shock I I tell the doctor I want a chest xray which was do the xray show a per annum sized white spot on my left lung I do some research on the net and below this is what I read I fall about 2 week in my yard and I am think I bruise my left lung I have have pleurisy once in the past I read the c word below and I am scared sh less now the doctor give I some antibiotic and an inhaler and he tell I he would have the cardiologist look at my film today I am have back surgery soon and if anything come up where I have to cancel this surgery I will be tick off I am freak out about this spot on my lung if the doctor call I today and want I in for more testing I will totally freak out if it is just air will it go away on it is own is there anyone here that can calm my nerve down air take up almost all of the space in your lung and air show up on chest x ray and compute tomography scan ct or cat scan as dark patch if you have a gray or white spot on your x ray or ct scan cancer is one possible explanation but it is not the only one a spot like this in the lung is also call a solitary pulmonary nodule or in some case a coin lesion it is hard to estimate what fraction of lung nodule are from cancer because most study that estimate the frequency of cancer are look at nodule of only one size or look only at nodule that have persist over time in one report of about 60 nodule that were 1 centimeter in size or small cancer was the cause of about half of the nodule,negative,0

I am new here but here is my story the nodule is visible on pet scan large than previously think now 8 mm x 9 mm and apparently do lite up with moderate uptake they say if biopsy is defer than cat scan should be do at regular interval to monitor the stability of this nodule although the spot where its locate is atypical for malignancy they can not exclude it I also have picture and its quite apparent this was a preliminary report so I sleep on it I think that the rational for do the pet scan was to see if there were any cancer cell those that suck up the glucose uptake so I wonder is it ever possible that something can uptake and not be cancer I can not seem to find that info anywhere if anyone is go to do any biopie or whatever I want someone who know what the hell they are do of course hopkin just creep I out as they nearly kill I with the pe this was something I was not expect cause the pain in my chest subside and the pulmonologist say it would definately come back negative we never discuss what would happen if it do not the pulmonologist want to refer to a thoracic surgeon I freak out she say they will have to go in and remove it can not be biopsie and if its cancer they will take the entire lobe I could not breathe this was over my cell phone I hang up and leave work cry I am go to I think get a second opinion from a pulmonologist oncologist type doctor probably at hopkin when I manage to eek that out she agree I should go wherever I feel most comfortable because no one was go to tell I it was not cancer might not be but either way accord to she it must come out I was think that when I have suspect ovca I have a gyn oncologist do that exploratory surgery that net I a pe last year no cancer either so it probably never need to be do I am all for avoid uneccessary surgery I do not think I would survive another major surgery and the pulmonogist suggest I get breathing test do or lung function test or something like that I am stress do anyone have a similiar story with a happy ending I am a non smoker who is married for 20 year to a smoker go figure,negative,0

my 70 year old non smoking mother have just been dxd with stage iv nsclc specifically squamous cell carcinoma she have anal cancer just over a year ago so they believe it spread from that even though they tell she at the time that they think they get it all I have lot of question but the burn one at the moment is this give that she finish radiation from her first cancer dx in dec 05 she also have chemo but have such a bad reaction they have to stop and go back for follow up at 3 month and 6 month what do they do at a follow up anyway then in sep 06 come down with a cough that never go away and now drs are say she is get a silver dollar size tumor on left lung as well as spread to lymph node in neck my question is can cancer really spread that quickly so that they would not have catch it not 3 month before she come down with symptom that seem outrageous to I the doctor even say that in primary lung cancer a tumor that size would take 10 year to develop grant this is not primary but still I feel like it should have been catch before we are go to the oncologist tomorrow morning and from everything I have read it sound like he is go to tell she it is terminal especially since she can not tolerate chemo or at least the chemo drug she was give last year I know there are many different kind I also know at this stage chemo is really give as palliative treatment not mean as a cure I have to say I was quite surprised reading over the post here how many stage 4 people seem to have survive for quite a while and that do give I some hope thank for listening and any advice on whether I should pursue why this was not catch early jm,negative,0

I have been have symptom of pleural effusion for a while now on and off but will not go away 4 6 month only on the left side I go to a doctor and say it could be a pull muscle and to come back if it never go away I have yet to go back as I think it would go away in time today though I read that lung cancer can be a cause of pleurisy pleural effusion amongst other thing I can feel dull pain all along the chest wall like a sac of fluid is build there right on the last rib wet pleurisy I get shoulder pain and back rib pain as well but very mild and rare what are the chance that this pleural effusion is cause by a cancer in the lung instead of just an infection I m only 25 year old and have pleurisy I am certain of it now I will go to the doctor as soon as possible been put it off for a while now this is very concern consider I am show no symptom just a slight ache where the bulge is form around the rib chest wall no change in cough no loss of appetite no weight loss when I clear my throat or cough there is no blood or phlegm no wheezing or hoarseness in voice just a dull ache constant discomfort around the last rib area any help,negative,0
hello all I need some insight on cancer my grandmother 83 yrs old have not been officially diagnose with lung cancer since we are still wait for a biopsy to be schedule we have go through ct scan and blood work and in the scan a tumor have been find in each lung and one more near her chest doctor will not tell we that yes she have cancer however they are tell we that all arrow are point to cancer yesterday we go to a pulmonary doctor and he do say that both tumor do look like cancer however not necessarily lung cancer say that it look like cancer that have develop else where and have spread to her lung do this sound at all familiar to anyone my grandmother have been a smoker for many year so it really is not surprising but it do hurt regardless they do find emphysema on her lung and do say that her spleen have discoloration now with all this that have been find she is not have any problem breathe the only problem she is have is pain in her low back doctor do not seem to understand why she is have so much pain they have tell we that there really is no association of pain with cancer the pain is actually what make she go to the doctor it is pretty intense and is keep she up at night anyone know anything about pain being associate with cancer I am sorry that is so long however we just can not seem to find answer and I figure the good people to talk to are those to live through it thank so much in advance for your help oh one more thing we were also tell that at her age we may want to consider if she really should go through full chemo treatment say that the good it would give would 2 3 month more however her quality of life would be very poor I at first thought that was pretty mean to tell we but at the same time I do appreciate the honesty is it true would it be good to not put she think all the harsh treatment,negative,0

start cry hysterically I didna t now what to say or do except to say that the sickness is what is make he weak we cana t say the word cancer in my house because it is consider taboo no one want to call it by its monster name the other sad thing in all this is that my husband still have not share with anyone about his sickness but everyone have advice or suggestion to offer to he he have lose all his weight and most of his muscle tissue I could see his full skeleton structure outline of his body he use oxygen to breathe at night and he is wind after put on his clothe he almost fall

it back because he is not yet at that stage where he warrant that type of chair I explain to the driver when I go outside that we are still in the denial stage even though his poor body is shut down before my eye I am being torture by he and the family now I was ask by my husband today to place a call to his oncologist because he need to order blood work and possible get a blood transfusion if he get the transfusion this will give he a big boost in energy and my husband also want to try to eat enough food to gain back all the weight that he have lose it tear I up inside to agree with he I phone his doctor and explain to they the situation I will have to pay for a possible doctora s visit and lab before we end up cancel our hospice care I was give a sheet by our hospice nurse as to what

constant drain mode all day there are so many people give advise to he about his health that do not know the full story and he want to chase after every suggestion they are tell he that the doctor should be able to figure out why he cana t eat or drink anymore or why he is so fatigue all the time maybe I am the one with the problem after all we have only been deal with stage iv nsclc for over one year now I need to have my head examine or something I begin to feel unwanted misjudged and a complete outsider we have a full blow private mass at our home yesterday my husband do confession with

and spiritual person as well as I can during this most challenging time thank you all for listen tonight renea,negative,0
a recent thread consider natural medicine therapy have prompt I to highlight a few item from my reading as a catalyst for further discussion as I say in that thread I can not advise anyone in this area but I can share what information source and my perspective on my wifea s treatment neither am I an authority on cancer or natural medicine but I can read reason and apply formal logic my primary source is an alternative medicine definitive guide to cancer w john diamond md w lee cowden md and burton goldberg 37 top physician explain their explain their prove safe non toxic and successful treatment future medicine publishing inc 1997 tiburon can unfortunately the topic at hand can be as confusing as it is controversial even so consider a quote from chapter 26 of a alternatine medicinea a in regard to the cancer industry by definition a profit orient pharmaceutical company in not go to pursue non patentable product such as laetrile maitake mushroom and other alternative medicine because they can not be register as patent drug and thus can not be control in the marketplace p 662 emphasis mine might I add for the same reason we are unlikely to see the use of alternative medicine in clinical trial and thus the same will likely not be consider along with standard treatment what you can expect from this book is the medical opinion basic treatment plan and success story from 37 physician concern specific cancer not just lung with that say there are only 3 lung cancer success story in the entire book I expect there is other the physiciana s credential address fax phone and so on are provide for example emanuel revici md revici therapy offer what he call a a biologically guide non toxic true chemo therapy a if brief revici claim a cancer result when the bodya s defense system is arrest in the lipidic phasea when this occur either fatty acid or sterol are produce in excessive quantity and this in turn promote the development of cancer a p 309 this make sense to I in respect to my limited knowledge of microbiology in his chapter his treatment claim to have reverse an advanced stage of adenocarcinoma of the lung in 5 year for a 62 year old woman clear for 6 year as well as in colon bone and brain cancer as for my wife patsy 43 she have never been a smoker and have stage iv nsclc which entail a semi obstructive was completely obstructive tumor in the primary lobe of her left lung a small tumor in the bronchial of her right lung 2 liver met and 1 in the bone head I start she on some supplement while she was do radiation prior to chemo however it was not until she start chemo that we see any noticeable difference in her scan symptom of the post obstructive pneumonia she was suffer with at the time at the moment we plan to continue with the current chemo line and a modest supplement regiman which include a multi vitamin in addition to vitamin c vitamin a echinacea goldeseal max 3 immune killer cell booster cata s claw maitake mushroom ip 6 and inositol and bromelain enzyme from pineapple and an amino acid nutritional shake with a fatty acid oil blend I cana t say that for certain a whata if any of these have been effective but we are get some positive result my current regimen is an attempt to boost her defense and healing process without conflict with chemo therapy a so I intend to move slowly and with caution there are also a few supplement that I have read a lot of interesting thing about but havena t yet try like b 17 apple pectin and shark cartilage in the event that we arrive at the place where conventional treatment are no long effective for whatever reason I hope to go strictly to a natural treatment plan that have been successful under similar circumstance keep in mind all cancer and people are different I am certainly not a physician or nutritionist but I am simply give my good effort in give my wife every opportunity to beat what are insurmountable odd and hope the same for everyone here which include more than just medicine no matter what the outcome or course we choose let all we do be motivate by our love for our family and one another I personally respect the opinion and whatever treatment decision other make because I dona t have hope in a one size fit alla approach neither would I say that my current view is fix or good but I do believe this topic merit our consideration and hope that other may contribute what they have learn try or experience in some detail thank for reading and god bless conan,neutral,1

I am new to this board although not to extensive stage small cell lung cancer I have been deal with sclc for 10 long month I have a great network of friend but I just need to vent and ask some question of people who know exactly what we ve been go through I am the 47 year old daughter friend and caregiver of dorothy dorothy 76 year old a long time smoker but also one who quit 12 year ago unfortunately she was diagnose this past february with extensive stage small cell lung cancer in her right lobe with met to her lymph node liver and hip she was constantly cough tired very short of breath have lot of torso and hip pain thankfully she have a great oncology team with chemo they could buy she more time without chemo she have 2 month to live top they were very compassionate as well as honest her oncologist was upfront with the fact that her chemo was palliative and not curative just buy she as much time as possible she begin chemo in february respond well to the carboplatin etoposide treatment fatigue of course lose all her beautiful hair but not much nausea the regular mris show the cancer was shrink she was feel well and well even drive again go out to lunch and shop with I by mid june after view her late mri her oncologist tell she the cancer have shrink as much as it was go to and that more chemo would not make much of a difference he tell she to come back in 3 month for her mri and check up and say to go home forget about the cancer center for a while and try to get back to some sense of normalcy again we seize the moment in july we book a 7 day caribbean cruise for her I my husband and 14 year old daughter we have a blast we ate gamble a little just the slot sightseed what a great time we have unfortunately as they say all good thing must come to an end her 3 month check up was schedule for september 15 she do not quite make it 90 day by the end of august the torso hip pain were back plus pain in her neck and eye with bone scan and an mri schedule for sept 8th we were on our way back to the cancer center which is one hour north of where we live the scan and mri result confirm our fear the cancer was back in the usual place plus in the neck and bone back to the chemo this time it was cisplatin and irrenotecan nasty stuff this time dorothy do not have an easy time of it lot of nausea lot of diarreah dehydration hair loss and extreme fatigue they give she all the pre nausea diarreah med but do not help much she make it through the first round of this second course of second line chemo and start to feel a little well by the beginning of october she actually drive her car again go out to lunch with I but half way through the second round the second week in october she feel so lousy and out of it end up in the emergency room twice once with dehydration and the next for anemia she have lose 20 pound since september I do not know how she was go to make it through the last of the second round well she do not we go in for the second round she was so unresponsive verbally exhausted and ill with very low blood pressure and temp that her oncologist want to do a brain mri that afternoon needless to say she do not have chemo I think if she have one more chemo that it would kill she she and I discuss how badly she feel and know that treatment was only palliative she decide she was do with chemo period she want the time she have leave to be quality time not quantity and feel horrible all the time so we see the oncologist and the brain mri the doctor say that there was no new cancer growth in her brain but she should scrub the chemo for that day and come back in a week have another scan and try another chemo session that is when she stop he and say she have have enough chemo and just want to go home being the honest guy he was say that was proabably for the good that she should enjoy what time she have leave feel good for a short time than lousy for a bit long a time he offer to provide any palliative medical care she would need let she know that they would still continue to care for she if she so choose we thank he but tell he we have choose a hospice in our town no more drive an hour from home for treatment we call hospice the next day they too have been just great set everything up for her her pain med nurse visit cnas to come out 4 day a week to help with bathe she still have her own apt I m over there every other day or more the awful effect of chemo finally wear off quite a bit that was one month ago unfortunately her pain is come back now and hospice have up her pain med from oxycodone to a high dosed oxycodone time release oxycontin she know that she is go to die but is handle very well I wish I was she is been so upbeat and positive through this whole nightmare I admire she so much I do not think I would have hold up half as well she is been not just my mom but my friend for year she is been a great grandmother to my daughter and great mother in law to my husband I go visit she and help she and get she out of the house and just be with she we ve already say anything and everything that need or want to be say we have no regret or shoulda woulda couldas now that the chemo is over and all the activity that go along with it I find myself get really down it is almost christmas and I am so not into it I hate this waiting and not being able to change the outcome in any way I have so many question and do not know if there are even any answer to they how long do she have how will we know when the time is come I can never seem to get her nurse or social worker from hospice alone to ask these question and do not know if they would answer they directly or not and I feel guilty for want to ask if anyone out there have been through this sclc ordeal and can shed some light or relief I would be so grateful,negative,0

my husband have a large pleural effusion and in the process of figure out why they discover nodule he have kidney cancer 10 year ago and although the nodule are too small to biopsy the radiologist is sure it is metastatic cancer what I do not understand is this when the effusion start with the chest pain after a bad fall he take when he smash his ribcage on the ground he have severe breathlessness pain exhaustion fever no apetite was unable to lay down and just plain feel awfull they were able to take only 500 ml from it because he was a loculated effusion and they say he have at least 1500 ml a week after that he start to improve and now is able to even jog without get out of breath all symptom have disappear except he get a bit wind if he try to do thing like jog uphill he is back at eat very well feel well lay down in any position and so on my question is how can he feel so much well if he have cancer that seem to be so advanced how could this happen with his body anyone have have this experience what are the usual symptom when you discover your cancer because of a pleural effusion how do it progress the doctor we have see simply look at we like we are hallucinate his improvement thank you,negative,0
hi my husband have an effusion that we think was cause by a bad fall on the x ray they find a 1 cm nodule and the doctor say in the last appointment that he want to do a resection take the nodule out or even the whole leave top lobe at the same time he take the water out the concern is because my husband have kidney cancer 10 year ago encapsulate just surgery we would like to know how one feel after this kind of surgery he is not willing to do any other treatment besides surgery if it is cancer so we want to know if he will be able to have a well quality of life he have been improve everyday since the effusion happen 5 week ago he go from cough like crazy unable to take a decent breath fever and exhaustion to feel pretty ok almost no cough no fever he can walk uphill slowly work a bit in the garden or gather wook for the fireplace and so on he is still tired and get out of breath when try to do more like yesterday he was carry to bag and walk uphill and that was way to much we would like to know if anyone have improve from an effusion without treatment even when they have cancer,neutral,1
I have accept the fact of my stage 4 nsclc plus the fact an oncologist judge I was not a viable candidate for chemotherapy because of other health issue I accept that I need to just get on with live and try to make the good of each day I receive palliative treatment the extent of this being medication for my comfort and the support of my hospice team and my general practitioner then find this board and gain insight and knowledge from other I begin to have self doubt have I been too accept of the oncologist dismissal regard chemo after all the lung consultant who treat I in hospital for the pulmonary embolism and who discover my cancer have refer I to oncology with the expectation I would receive chemo join this community give I the confidence to question everything I see the lung consultant again and he still think I can manage chemo I have the consultant endocrinologist review my case and he think it would be pointless for he to offer further interventional treatment give the stage of the cancer so there is no need to take that into account when consider chemo last week I ask my hospice doctor to refer I to an oncologist for a second opinion and I do not know why but that require some courage on my part he agree and I have the consultation this afternoon this time was different I feel confident I have more knowledge I was able to ask informed question and all because of the good people in this hb community I feel as though you were all behind I the oncologist today was a well comminicator and altogether a well doctor than the first I am satisfied he make a thorough assessment he sit with I and go through all the casenote all the scan and ct result were show to I and explain this have not been do previously and all my question were answer fully he also tell I doctor constantly refer people who would not benefit who would be harm by chemo that in general doctor do not have a clue about chemo and its effect again today I was tell I can not have chemo but I do have a full sense of acceptance now I owe it to myself and to my son to seek this second opinion and I feel a weight lift from my shoulder my peace of mind have return I was also tell the tumour have spread into the chest wall the oncologist was surprise this have not been explain to I previously and this is why I was suffer so much back pain and that a course of radiation would be the next step so I start next thursday to have radiation treatment every day for two week thank you everyone your post have help raise my awareness and a well management of my illness so important too you have all give I a feeling of connection you are all in my prayer,positive,2

here is my situation I am 33 year old recently quit smoking due to the stuff I have go through smoke about a pack a day for 13 year or less about a month ago I develop sinusitis which since I do not treat it lead to bronchitis before I was diagnose with that I was up one night in a cough fit and decide to look up my symptom to see what I have of course the first thing that come to mind was lung cancer I have been freak out ever since I go to a doctor not my regular just find one that was available as soon as possible and tell he my concern he do blood work all that and say it was not cancer that I have a touch of bronchitis due to sinusitis he game I shot and med to take I was concern he do not do a chest x ray so I go to my regular doctor she do a chest x ray breathing test and agree that it was bronchitis not cancer I start feel well after a few day and by the end of the week the only symptom I still have was a slightly sore chest I went swim that sunday do a lot of diving and swimming underwater and so on at the end of the day my sinus were severaly congest they last like that for several day and on wednesday night they begin to hurt the next day I have a stop up nose and drainage down the back of my throat that friday I start my coughing fit again I go to another doctor that friday and he do a chest x ray and blood work wbc was 13 and he say I once again have sinusitis and bronchitis he is deduction was I catch a form of bacteria that bring it back I still can not get the obsession out of my mind that what if it is lung cancer and they are just diagnose it wrong I go to my regular doctor once again and she do a further examination and say it was sinusitis and bronchitis and usually one will follow the other she tell I that if there was any reason what so ever that she think I should have a ct scan then she would set one up but she do not think it was necessary she tell I we could schedule one for my peace of mind if I want one but she do not see a need at all I have been feel well I am hardly cough and when I do there is very little clear phlegm if any sometime a little yellow I was feel fine convinced I do not have lung cancer until the first cough I have this morning when I spit onto a tissue paper there was a small square speck of red I try to smear it and it would not smear I take red cough medicine right before I go to bed last night could it have been just a dry piece of it form my throat that really freak I out so I start force cough myself to make something else come up I sort fo gag and give up I know this is gross but I want to get everything out a few minute later I try force cough myself again and I have a small little glob od orangy red stuff in my spit no phlegm once again this would smear like I think blood would and it was actually a little solid I remember I have eat homemade vegetable soup the night before and it have large chunck of stew tomatoe I compare the two yes this is how obsess I have become and they look very similar am I just being overly paranoid should I just put this to rest and accept it is bronchitis and move on I was fine until the two red thing today when they say bloody sputum what do they mean by that should I go ahead with the ct scan is it true the radiation in those can increase your chance for cancer and what are the chance of have a false positive meaning that they see something that is not cancer but I have to go through a biopsy process to determine how much do ct scan cost because since my doctor do not think it is necessary I am sure I will ahave to pay for it out of pocket thank for any help and I want to say for all those that are suffer from lung cancer the possibility of lang cancer or you have a family member suffering I will add you in my thought and prayer,negative,0

I know this subject have been discuss many time already and appreciate your patience allow I to personalize my post I am 48 year and have been a long time smoker I know the risk and know I should quit and hopefully after this scare will gain enough sense to do so know that smoking this long and at my age I am play with fire I make an appointment with a pulmonary specialist I have been diagnose 2 year ago with mild copd and want to see how much it have advance which by the way remarkably it do not at all I explain to the doctor that being realistic as a smoker I would rather catch lung cancer in it is early stage and would he set up a ct scan for I know that ct scan detect small amount of cancer than a regular chest x ray he agree and I have a ct scan on august 1 I think I was out of the wood because the doctor have not call I I have another appointment schedule with he sept 8 and feel he would not wait until then if something show up on the scan today I receive a postcard from his office which read like this x normal or within satisfactory limit x will discuss at your next office visit multiple small underlined nodule no underlined intervention recommend we will repeat the ct scan in the future okay so now this big bad if I have lung cancer let we diagnose it early girl is freak out I know the chance of it being benign with my pathetic history of smoking and my age are probably not the good but I am still go to ask you for other reason I could possibly have multiple lung nodule so I can at least perhaps close my eye for a few minute and sleep tonight I have my first grandchild due to be bear next month and am feel extremely depressed right now thank for your patience and any input you can possibly give I to help understand what this mean,neutral,1

hello everyone thank janmarie and pat for your early reply to my post once again my husband and I have go on a journey with the hmo and the doctor to try and get a second opinion since he was on a small break from his 7th round of chemo of carbo taxol to make a long story short we were deny a second opinion by the medical review board at kelsey seybold because my husband have not exhaust all his option while currently being treat at their facility all we want to do was to see if md anderson would suggest anything different since he also have a pleural effusion that is disease we were tell that there were some other way to get from under the kelsey seybold umbrella to get in to see the doctor over at md however we know that time is not on our side my husband fluid have start to turn bloody red again and we are get very concerned he want to start the tarceva right away we have always keep the appointment we previous set with our oncologist which was set for the follow day he write a prescription for the maximum dosage of 150 mg of tarceva we also express our disappointment with his statement and the review board he was of course try to cover thing up and make excuse my husband just let he know in no uncertain term that we would not tolerate his rude bedside manner and foot around with we we will be straight with he as long as he is straight with we my husband is schedule to do another chest ct in two month it have been almost a week on the tarceva and already the fluid are turn back to a lightish color again we hope and pray that this is a sign of improvement we are tell by the doctor that insert the chest tube to not read anything into the color or fluid amount what are we to think I thank god for the insurance we have now because these drug are so expensive it seem as if once you are diagnose they place you in a drop in a separate box until dead category we pay out the butt for their medicine and research and get no credit for do so if I tell you what I have to do to at least get the kelsey people to at least get the release to the review board I have been ask for that release for a week I literally sit in the waiting room area for 4 1 2 hour the very last day we were to send the authorization for the monday appointment I was there on a friday my husband original doctor take the day off his nurse do not want to see I I do not call to inform she that I was come because I have phone she everyday every hour during the week all the nurse would say is we are wait for his file to come to our office from his oncologist my husband have order a copy of his complete medical record I was able to supply the nurse with the information or note that they need from his file to at least sign off on the release by the way another doctor sign off on the release 2 minute before the deadline to get the information over to md anderson the nurse send someone else other than her self out to the front wait area to inform I that my husband request to get a second opinion was deny I would not even spend another 10 page to tell you what happen next all I will say is life is too short to deal with people who are unfeele unsympathetic and unkind I just politely leave I say to myself I fight a good fight at least I try this day I try we lose this battle but my husband battle continue god bless all who go through all the thing we do to try and get the good care for our love one renea,neutral,1

hello everyone I know ita s been awhile since I last post on my husband with nsclc I just want to focus on get through his treatment I slowly watch the chemo physically take the life out of he he look like the picture of death he was suppose to take 8 round of chemo and was tell to stop after round 6 the ct scan at that time show no change at all and that the tumor remain unchanged we were tell that you could have three type of result unchanged grow or shrink my husband opt to continue until the 8th round upon our doctor visit on may 2 my husband have tell the doctor that he have been cough up pinkish like stuff in his phlegm the doctor immediately tell he that he was not go to administer the avastin anymore he was suppose to stay on avastin even after the last treatment but any sign of blood in the phlegm could mean that he might be bleed internally he also indicate that the 8th round of chemo would not make any difference because accord to this late ct scan a row of black lymph node have appear along the lining of his pleural but everything else remain the same the doctor say for my husband to either start on the tarceva pill or he could take a month or two off to feel good we were tell that the side effect of the tarceva were rash and diarrhea we were also tell that because my husband was never a smoker that this would be the good choice for his 2nd line of treatment since the 1st line no long is responsive my husband thank the doctor very much for his quick action in get he start on his treatment out of respect for the doctor my husband also mention to he that he would seek a second opinion during his break possibly at md anderson and that he want the dr to know this our onc is a young dr and have a great bedside manner but we feel that he have take we as far as he could and that we need to try something a little different across the street md anderson is just a hop and a skip down the street of course the dr onc have his say about how you might be a test case or an experiment case and that everything that they have over at md anderson they have it there the onc also go as far to say that the only reason you would be look for a second opinion is if you are look for hope why do he think we are go through all this pain and suffering in the first place he also go as far to say we must all die someday it was as if to say it wouldna t do you any good to go over there because it will be a waste of time I was happy with the onc up until that point of the conversation I immediately call m d anderson the next day I have already do my research on 10

into account that medical insurance play a huge part in everything I tell my husband that I would rather he tell his family now that he sort have good spirit and some energy than to try to tell his family at his weak hour I tell he to remain calm do not shout and do not get upset we have deal with this just the two of we for 6 month I want he to please remain calm because there is nothing that any of his family member can do besides pray for he wish he well and call occasionally to see how he is do yell and shout and get mad do not solve his problem they seem to keep forget this health

I have been a reader of this board since april but this is my first post I will try to make a long story brief my dad age 81 was put on tarceva december 3rd by december 14th my dad have develop for the past fews day an eye irriatation that have get bad that day the edge of his eye lid have get bright red and a pus was form in his eye that was start to get crusty in part my mom and I have to take wash clothe to his eye to clear it up because of this we plan to call his doctor the following morning to explain what was happen he take his next dose of tarceva the following morning at 7 am your suppose to take this on an empty stomach he have his cereal a little after 8 am but by 8 20am start to cough up a little blood after that little cough he put his head forward just above the table and blood start to pour out of his mouth my mom keep put paper towel under he to soak up the blood but it just keep come out of he he could not speak after a couple minute of this my dad face hit the table he have lose all color in his face and have die on we that quick my mom do not want a autopsy do so we will never know exactly what happen the doctor feel the tarceva have start to shrink the cancer but it could have been near a major blood vessel so when the cancer shrink it cause a hemmorage several day before this we have start to be so happy because it appear the tarceva was cause my dad pain to be reduce he have been take about 40 mg of oxycotin per day and we have it down to 10 mg per day about 13 day after start the tarceva we were hope in the next day or two to discontinue the oxycotin and switch to tylenol because he was do so well were still extremely upset over this but I want people to know our experience the doctor say this is a rare occurence less than 1 but I guess my dad was one of the unlucky one the subtype of nsclc he have was squamous cell carcinoma which is more prone to hemmorage then the other form of lung cancer in fact avastin a new type of chemo drug is never give to squamous cell lung cancer patient for this reason I would still recommend tarceva but to be careful when develop symptom especially eye irriatation I really pray for everyone who have to go through this because this have been the bad thing that have ever happen to I my dad was my good friend and the thought of have to live the next half of my life without he is terribly painful jeff,negative,0
what are the first symptom of lung cancer is it true that by the time any noticeable symptom appear it will be too late mean the tumor will have already become fully malignant and metastatic if I experience weird symptom is it the safe thing to rule out cancer before anything else I know this might sound like I am ridiculously paranoid but I am turn 25 in march and I use to occasionally smoke clove cigarrette not regular tobbacco and sometimes smoke marijuana when I was in college but I never do anything of that sort anymore the most I ever do was smoke one or two a day for several month when I was 18 and then my frequency decline afterwards just have one occasionally like once a month at the most nowadays I can not even tolerate the smell of tobbacco such as when I hang out at my favorite bar I try to stay outdoors on the patio and I regularly go for several month or year without touch a single cigarrette recently I have smoke some marijuana with 2 3 month gap I do feel insecure about admit that but the point is I have not experience any unusual symptom besides a normal dry cough as a result of common cold but what initial symptom should I first look for and will it be too late when the first symptom appear or will it still be easy to treat my mom have a malignant and metastatic bladder carcinoma and she was misdiagnose by the doctor think it was a bladder infection which is why when they scan for whole body tumor it was too late as they already migrate to the lung she is been dead for nearly 2 year now but I think I should be properly inform beforehand so if need be I can rule out cancer before anything else any thought on this will be helpful thank,neutral,1
my mil who was diagnose with sclc back in oct have undergo three out of four round of chemo her tumor was able to be remove by surgery because of it is location in the lung after her surgery she was find to have some suspicious activity in her lymph node but because plan were already underway for chemo they figure the chemo could knock the lymph node involvement out hopefully tomorrow start her last round of chemo she have tolerate treatment very well so far however yesterday I speak with she and she complain of terrible swelling in one of her knee and extreme dizziness the dizziness was so bad one day that she was not able to leave the house to run errand as she have plan to a few week ago she have complain of constant headache but they eventually subside she sound very tired and almost as if she have decide she is go to die yesterday she tell I that she do not think she will be around after the summer previously she have been fairly upbeat about this whole thing do anyone have any idea what this dizziness swelling and so on could be,negative,0

I m brand new to this board and not even sure I belong here I may have lung cancer I am go through test to find out it all start last may when I was hospitalize for another unrelated health problem which require a head cat scan they find a brain tumor total shock it turn out to be a benign meningioma in the right frontal lobe and I have surgery on sept 8th total removal even though it have grow from 2 3 cm to 4 5 and was wrap around the optic nerve that was trauma enough but I was recover very nicely from that with little or no discernible defficit two week after surgery I develop a very bad cold and that was horrible while try to recover from cranial surgery but it last 3 week and I finally go to a doctor and find out it was pneumonia I was then put on antibiotic for 10 day and do improve however my final xray to determine if my lung were clear show some scarring so a chest cat scan was order this show multiple bilateral nodule without calcification the report state there is a patchy ground glass appearance to the lung parenchyma possible relate to variable aeration I wonder if that could have been from my recent surgery and anesthesia all of th nodule measure less than 1 cm in diameter they are not calcify and can not be clearly characterize as benign there is some focal stranding in the left lung base which may be relate to atelectasis or scar anyone know the definition of atelectasis mestastatic disease can not be exclude and diagnostic eval for primary neoplasm should be consider ther is no discrete nodule see that could be a biopsy candidate at this time now I am the type of person who have to know evertythe I can about my condidion I want to be actively involve in decision make about my care so I do not know much about this I do not even know what to look for no one have actually come out and say lung cancer but this report kind of say it before my brain tumor I become active in look for the good surgeon and hospital I could find I go to boston 100 mile away from my home to have the surgery so I need help find resource I have a full torso cat scan today with contrast and injection tomorrow I speak to a doctor about a colonoscopy and I will be have a mamogram I have an appointment next week with a thoracic surgeon and the follow week with a pulmonologist should I wait until I see they and get more information or should I start dig in now the thought of face surgery again so soon after major surgery is kind of mind boggle but I can not sit back and do nothing I need info to be prepare how do you determine what kind of lung cancer it is that is small cell vs non small cell is that do strictly through biopsy if I can not have a biopsy will they do a brohnchoscopy I know I have ask a whole lot of question here but I need to know and I am so scared its well than last week when all I could do was cry I now want to go forward and fight this thing joanne bowen,neutral,1
I m new to this message board thing but it seem like a good source of support understanding and hope my mom was diagnose with small cell about 2 year ago she origanally respond well to treatment for the mass in her chest a few month later it was back in her brain she then respond well to brain radiation but in nov it was back in her brain again she was tell then a couple of month and was give some more radiation initially the tumor have shrink this last time but the doctor really do not think its go to buy much time since they are so aggressive she is defently go down hill sometimes she can barely put a sentence together and she can not walk anymore because she is so dizzy she fall in late feb she get another scan because she have get so dizzy but we have not get the result I think my dad is put it off because we know its not go to be good I know the end is near but I wonder if her inability to think clearly is from the tumor or from radiation fry her brain she actually do not comprehend how sick she is she will ask I sometimes when she get scared from being dizzy am I die I can only say no mom its just a side effect of the radiation she do not remember exactly what the doctor say back in nov in some way maybe its well that she s not all there mentally at least she s not quiet so scared she have a new grandbaby her first and it kill I that she will not see he grow up I despretly want someone who have go through this to talk to the doctor say she would start sleep more and more and eventually not wake up he also do not mention the decline in mental ability so I m afraid she will have a sezior or wind up in coma any way I do not guess I could be anymore depress anyone who have lose someone this way I would like to talk to you do not have to sugar coat it either I know in this situation the hope factor is go I just want to know what to expect oh ya she never do stop smoking do anyone know if it would of actually make a differance after the diagnosis,negative,0

I was tell last tue a 2 cm lesion in upper left lobe light up on pet scan pulmonologist make an appointment for I with chest surgeon monday I am daze really and do not know what to expect nor what question I should be ask could some of you kind people give I some idea my question are so voluminous regard the nodule and my brain is so full of mixed thought right now I feel like fainting do any of you know that if you have several lesion in your lung and only one light up on a pet scan is that a good thing do anyone know what the difference is between nodule lesion masse patch density spot and so on or is this just a radiologist preference I have a few patch density that do not light up and I do not know if I should be feel good about it if they r not cancer now can they turn into cancer later are pet scan reaaaaaalllllly accurate for pick up cancer I read on the net that they are not good if the cancer is small is this true is a bone scan the same as a pet scan from your chin to your thigh or is a bone scan different and only check for soft tissue cancer will I be schedule for a biopsy first thing is this do as an outpatient or inpatient are there various way to do a biopsy depend on where the lesion is how long do you wait for those result and if surgery is recommend I presume it is do swiftly right have any of you get a second opinion on the recommend treatment you were advise to receive are there test you have to have do other than lab work that need to be perform before chest surgery also one other question regard surgery I do have pulm function testing already and I have an idea that fev1 is important do anyone know what that number should be and what it represent if you have bad lung do that mean they do not operate if you have one nodule do they take the whole lung do you remember year ago when someone have cancer they say once they open you up blah bla blah you know well is that the reason the whole lung is remove,neutral,1
my mother in law was just diagnose with sclc originally she was tell there was a tumor on the top part of her lung because of it is location it could be remove surgically and it was at that time it was diagnose as sclc however her dr was encourage about the fact that it have been able to be remove surgically most sclc are inoperable due to the location of the tumor he decide to wait a few week to begin chemo because she was have a hard time recover from her surgery she is arthritic and also her incision was not heal properly his prognosis was that because the tumor have been remove and bone and brain scan were normal that chemo could possibly wipe out the tumor if a pet scan show no metastasis the very next day the pet scan result come back and there was spread to the lymph node in the lung there show some other spreading but he attribute the result of those part to inflammation from the surgery it was the lymph node that were worrisome she have not been tell yet but she is meet with he tomorrow he maintain that his treatment plan is go to be the same in light of this test result she already have severe copd so radiation is not possible my mil state early that if it have spread she will not do the chemo do anyone out there have any experience with a situation in which the sclc have spread to the lymph node we are just wonder realistically if she should bother do the chemo or if anyone think the chemo result could possibly be positive I am not look for anyone to sugarcoat anything we really want the most truthful answer even if it is not positive any help anyone can offer will be appreciate,negative,0

I have not post for awhile but last week we get my mom second ct result since start the tarceva in jan 2005 for nsclc the first ct show dramatic improvement the 2nd ct show some slight growth in some of the liver met but the lung is stable dr is think the tarceva may no long be work and want she to consider more chemo but my mom feel great right now so want to hold off on the chemo and who can blame she as at 81 yrs the 2nd line chemo could be very difficult and even kill she so why not enjoy the good day while you still have they I have hear chemo in stage iv is to treat symptom and since she have none I support her decision besides she finally have hair again after loose it to first line chemo she want to stay on the tarceva and get another scan in another month or two and see if yes the cancer is progrese or if that was a fluke she have to go off the tarceva for 1 5weeks 6 week prior to the ct due to an allergic reaction that turn out to not be to the tarceva so is wonder if the growth could have happen during that time I also read that when allergy problem exist it can over burden the immune system and allow cancer to grow so maybe that is responsible time will tell I am also check into the cyberknife as if the next ct come back show that the lung remain stable but the liver met have grow more maybe cyberknife is the way to go the good news is she feel so great and is out live a life again even go to work 2 morning a week she is able to walk long distance and is eat well not bad for an 81 yr old I hope everyone I have share post with in the past are hang in there and do well we are just a few week short of being at the year mark and believe I a year ago I do not expect she to make it for a year as the doctor make it sound like 1 year would be push her luck show you what they know my thought are with all of you in your battle with nsclc,negative,0

hi all my dad start have some back pain in september last year since he is been smoke since his teen year and he is 74 now the immediate suspicion was lung cancer however a biopsy make at the time find no issue last january since no other explanation was give to the pain he go through another biopsy which also find no problem then thing start turn bad he have a broken femur the surgery to get it fix was quite successful but thing have been clearly deteriorate since then he is lose weight and he was already quite thin he feel weak and he have to use diaper the bone was break due to a metastasis that is also on his other leg and his rib yesterday he go through radiotherapy for the first time and he also have take zometa which should strengthen the bone we were happy that the treatment actually start but today he was extremely weak and we have to take he to the hospital where they find out he was dehydrate anyway I wonder if any of you have go through a similar situation and can answer some of the follow question we do not know yet if it is sc or nsc this should be answer by the biopsy and due to that the oncologist currently refuse to give we any estimation before see the result but from what I read and also from the comment that the gp have make in the hospital today I am afraid he might be close to a terminal state right he have almost no problem breathe could it be that it is not lung cancer at all accord to the oncologist it should most likely be due to the type of cancer cell find in his leg carcinoma is there any hope that he will walk again currently he is not allow to walk since his leg are fragile anyone have experience with zometa I read somewhere in the web that it do not seem to help that much he have also difficulty close his right hand and he is lose strength movement on it the oncologist have dismiss it as arthritis or something similar but after read the forum I am afraid it could be due to the tumor reach the brain anyone have similar experience is it common that the biopsy fail to find the tumor I am so that it take we this long to start a proper treatment and to make matter bad I do not like the oncologist attitude at all well that was a huge post I hope anyone have the patience to read it and can shed some light on the situation needless to say it is been some tough day especially since I live abroad and should go back to work soon thank and good regard marcos,neutral,1

in may of this year my wife was dxd with stage 4 nsclc with met to the brain spine and pelvis in may she have major low spine surgery for tumor resection follow by a couple of week of wbr and low spine radiation in late june she begin chemotherapy gemzar carboplatin she also receive kytril procrit and zometa she is currently into her 5th cycle of chemo the only other drug that she take regularly are vicodin es senna and dss start in mid august at the end of chemo cycle 3 she develop swell in her upper eyelid right side more pronounce than leave gradually the swelling develop around both eye include some redness after lie down her face also get swollen but the facial swelling quickly disappear after she get up gravity the swelling with redness around her eye do not disappear after get up but it do fluctuate throughout the day the condition is static it is not get any bad and it is not get any well there is no evidence of swell or related symptom anywhere else in her body she have been examine by all three of her treat physician med onc rad onc neurosurgeon as well as two nurse oncologist and an er physician nobody know what to make of this consensus opinion is that it is not being cause by any of the tumor in her brain or lung consensus opinion is that it is most likely being cause by an unknown allergen the problem with that diagnosis is that she do not have any of the other symptom that usually accompany allergy there is no redness in her eyeball or conjuctiva and there is no watering of her eye or nose there is no itching or sneeze there is only a small amount of discharge that sort of make her eyelid stick together upon arrise and she is try a couple of antihistamine with no noticeable improvement re drug as the culprit the only clue that I can find is that gemzar as a rare allergic side effect can cause swelling or puffiness of the face especially the eyelid or area around the eye from medline plus suggest an allergic reaction but once again she have no other symptom to go with it and she have no breathing difficulty the er physician that recently see she do mention something about chemo cause vascular damage in the facial area but he was not definite on that more like speculating and like the other he prescribe an antihistamine one of the nurse oncologist with 20 year experience administer chemo do not recall ever see swelling and redness around the eye as a stand alone symptom comprehensive blood panel result reveal nothing remarkable lastly we can find no change in household product and so on to account for this I would greatly appreciate it if any patient caregiver or healthcare provider reading this can offer an opinion thank much bill,neutral,1

hi everyone my mother have been smoke for 40 something year along with every single person in our family my aunt mom old sister just pass away two month ago after a battle with lung brain cancer and both of my mom parent die of cancer grandpa lung grandma breast so we all know that we are genetically suceptible to this devastating disease lately for the past year and a half my mother have been experience a very horrible cough that have recently get bad it is such a deep dry cough that rattle her whole body and wear she out physically however last night I think we would have to call an ambulance for she because the cough was so bad she was literally gasp for air for a good 5 minute and choke and gasp continually she was helpless when the cough fit end finally she could barely talk but state that it was the first time something like that have happen which is not true and that it must have been cause by the dust in the room or her sinus she constantly complain of a dripping sensation in her sinus but I do not know about the validity of that claim I think it may be an excuse to cover up the cough since the death of her sister she have make repeat comment to I such as if I ever have cancer I do not want to know about it it seem as if everyone go downhill fast as soon as they find out about the disease and if I ever get cancer please make sure that I do not receive any treatment she is a very strong willed person and kind of marche to the beat of her own drummer she will not listen to anyone and she certainly is refuse to go to the doctor at this point primarily because I think she is afraid of what the doctor will tell she even if she do go to the doctor I know she would not tell he to complete truth about the coughing fit and her raspy breathing I have mention go with she to see a doctor and she just continue do whatever it is that she is do at that moment as if I do not say anything I am just tear right now and I am upset and nervous that she is go to choke one night when I am sleep and I would not know how to help she I really have no support system because my sibling live in other state and while they have always been there for I I know that they can not physically be here for I my father like to pretend that everything in the world is fantastic and that nothing is ever wrong he pretend that my mother quit smoking 4 year ago and she smoke a pack a day just not in front of he so its kind of like I am in this battle by myself and I am not sure what to expect I am aware of the fact that she more than likely have cancer or emphysema however I am not try to diagnose she I am just accept the fact that something is wrong with she but I am not sure what to expect I do not know what is go to happen if something like this goes un diagnose do anyone have any experience with this or what is it go to take to get a diganosis will it be an emergency that finally get she to the hospital I just do not know what to do any advice would be greatly appreciate thank for listen janine,negative,0

I have never post anything here before but I have often come here to read post and I would like to thank all of you for share your story as they have help I and my family alot I hope that I can bring some hope to all of you my father have nsclc that have spread all over his lung and to the adjacent lymph node numerous chemotherapy help to shrink the tumor but eventually stop work in decemberhe was put on iressa as a step to merely prolong his life it work great and not only stop the cancer from grow but considerably shrink the tumour along side this he was also take a number of chinese herbal combination to boost his immune system eventually the iressa stop shrink the tumour and just prevent their growth this was good enough for we slowly my father start develop some tingle sensation in his leg and foot and have back pain he was check out and they find a mass of inflammation in his spine the doctor initially think it to be cancer because they do not know what else it could be they decide to radiate the mass and this mean that for three week my father would have to go off of iressa I have do some internet research and find an herbal remedy for cancer call essiac tea I think that we would get he drink it 4 oz twice a day while he was on radiation because it was know to be excellent for deal with the side effect of cancer treatment after 3 week the doctor decide to take an x ray of his lung to see how badly the cancer have grow while he was off the iressa they say not to worry to much as any new growth would be handle by the iressa to everyone surprise the x ray reveal that my father lung were completely clean the are plan still to do a ct scan to double check but nobody can believe what they see on the x ray I do not know if it was the tea but I do not know what else it could have been the radiation was point at his throat area not his lung take home message 1 do not believe everything your oncologist tell you a year ago they tell he that he have 2 month to live do your own research and try everything you can the doctor now are say they do not know what s in his spine and the radiation have make it bad if anybody have ever hear of any spine disorder let I know we are still try to understand what this is so while we are happy the cancer is go in his lung we have a new less scary problem to face 2 prayer is important I do not have the space here to discuss all the particular but god will guide you to any answer if you ask he to do not concern yourself with which religion to follow they are just tool to uncover god they are not god themselves is the cancer the choice of the god above you or the god within you everything have its purpose when you figure out what that is you will move on take time to expand your mind and enlighten yourself to infinite possibility and understand 3 herbal and natural remedy do work try to find an experienced herbalist to examine you and give you the proper herb give essiac tea a shot it might work for you too I know how hard this can be but do not lose faith my prayer are with you,positive,2

I just run across this board and feel this was a great place to share my feeling and get a few thing off my chest sometimes you just need someone to listen also if you ever feel that your doctor is not being 100 honest and you feel he is not concerned or possibly do everything he can please see another doctor it could make the big difference my step dad 70 year old and very active was diagnose with bronchiectasis five year ago by his pulmonary doctor he have also been diagnose with asbestosis and silicosis over the past five year he have visit his pulmonary doctor frequently because of cough up blood and generally feel horrible the doctor always give he a prescription for antibiotic and anxiety medicine and tell he to come back in four month when a specialist tell you there is no need for test what are you to do sometimes you just do not realize otherwise last saturday 8 23 my mom take my step dad to the emergency room because he was feel so sick he have lose 16 pound in four month they immediately say he have pneumonia and start run all sort of test thank goodness his regular pulmonary specialist was not on call and a new partner from his office was this new doctor was extremely concerned and order every test imaginable at this point my step dad skin look yellow his normally skinny ankle and foot were extremely swollen and he was cough so bad and weak they admit he that day the cat scan of the lung show enlarged lymph node and quite a few other thing I can not recall his cea level was elevate to 63 they were concerned about possible colon cancer because of this elevated level so they do a colonoscopy and that was clear the cat scan of the abdomin show a spot on his liver he then have an ultrasound of the liver which show four spot they perform a liver biopsy from two of the four because that is all they could get to he have a bronchoscopy and they take biopsy of the lung tissue and lymph node throughout the week the result start come in they find he was anemic and as I say before his cea level was 63 friday 8 29 was a devastating day my step dad was diagnose with non small cell lung cancer differential and adenocarcinoma of the liver they say it start in the lung and spread to the liver the oncologist say this could have start as long as two year ago but they never know she say without chemotherapy he might live 5 6 month and with chemotherapy he may have a year to live everyone tell we that if his pulmonary doctor have do the test he should have do year ago when my step dad was cough up blood and have continuous bronchitis and so on this could have been find before it spread to the liver the doctor never want to run any test and always tell my parent he do not feel it was necessary,negative,0
hello I am so thankful to have a place to ask my question there are a shortage of doctor where I live and I have to wait another 3 week to get into one to ask my question voice my concern I am 34 have smoke now for 15 year I know how stupid it is to smoke and I am desperately try to quit I have been have pain to my mid back along the spine that seem to be increase for the past few week it is hard to describe almost between a severe ache knot to a burn pain almost sharp it is bad by the end of the day I do have a back injury work relate from a few year ago and I do get spasm to this very same area plus the muscle is often as hard as steel as one doctor put it they have never know why it is like this but it is been this way for 6 yrs now I know I have spine back xray about 5 year ago or so related to my back of course so as you ve probably gather from this post I am worried that perhaps this pain is due to lung cancer now I know that sound pretty extreme and possibly paranoid but this really have I worried but here what I think and maybe I am wrong I am think that if I do have lung cancer to the point of have a tumor that would be cause pain like this surely I would have some other symptom shortness of breath frequent cough cough up phlegm with blood in it severe fatigue and so on right this pain do not increase when take a deep breath or forcefully breathe out exhale I have only the odd smoker cough but nothing more I do not cough anything up actually on top of this all I am an rn yes I should know well than to smoke so you may be think I should know all this but it is true I have care for many many patient over the year with lung cancer but it is not like I ever ask they what their initial symptom were I usually care for they once they were in later stage of the disease the first thing I do 3 week from now when I get into my doctor is request bilateral chest xray but in the meantime I am worry myself sick what do anyone make of this of course I am not ask for a diagnosis I am just ask if it would be possible to have lung cancer at a stage where a tumor would be large enough to cause pain but not have any other symptom thank so very much leese,negative,0

I start this whole mess in december 2002 I get sick with pneumonia end up in hospital with partial collapse lung both lung show pleural effusion and fluid in lung but leave 1 also show a spot on the lung I have broncioscope and other test run I continue to get pneumonia repeatedly and stay sick weak and short of breath I am still all of they that was what brung I to the lung biopsy and the v a t s procedure on may 28th a v a t s surgery I believe it stand for video assist thoracic surgery is where multiple incision are make mine was 3 and the surgeon use microscopic tool and camera that are insert through the incision to perform the operation that is need in my case it was a lung biopsy this procedure is do in place of a huge incision because the vat is suppose to be less invasive on the body therefor it is suppose to result in a fast recovery less pain for the patient small incision and less mutilation of the area and low chance for infection it is use in other operation like the gull bladder removal on the knee ect ect my incision are under my left before midday all are about 2 or 3 inch in length 2 of they was also use for placement of chest tubee to drain air and fluid from the chest cavity after the surgery so those seem to appear large I am not sure if they are my surgery take about 1 1 2 hour before the surgery start I have an epidural put in my back before I was put to sleep for the surgery the epidural was to control pain after the surgery was do I have a severe breathing attack and anxiety attack in the middle of put in the epidural I almost pass out they have to stop and give I oxygen till I could breath and was calm again then I was sedate with general anesthesia and take into surgery the surgeon collapse my left lung remove a large portion the surgeon say it was a preety large chunk of lung tissue from the bottom portion of my left lung the mass turn out to be nothing at all but the surgeon do find that my lung was diseased and the whole lung was involve he come out of the surgery and tell my family afterwards that it is very likly that the right lung would be the same way and that I probably would never breathe normal again he say it appear to be intertistial lung disease wich is a word for over 150 kind of lung disease but he tell the family they could narrow down there information search by look for restrictive pulmonary disease I definatly have pneumonitis wich is swell of the lung the surgeon want I to go to my pulmonolagist lung specialist for the final diagnosis in a couple of week when I wake up I could not believe the pain even with the epidural it was horrible I was being give morphine every 2 hour I have 2 chest tube come out the side of my chest they were hook to a noisy machine that constantly suction out air and fluid so the lung can re exspand but mine would not re exspand it stayed collapse because of a pneumothorax air leak and air pocket from the lung was at the top of the lung in my upper front chest wall they were debate to put in a third chest tube but decide that the leak was not go away but it have quit grow so they decide to wait and see if it would resolve itself wich it do 2 day after I go home I stay in icu over night then go to the surgery floor a high medical care than normal floor they remove the epidural in icu and that was when I really find out just how severe the pain would be I was then put on percocette and morphine every 2 hour around the clock I have never feel such pain in my life I think I might have extra nerve around my lung all I know is it hurt severly I have special machine on both leg that would automatically air up and put pressure on my leg to help prevent blood clot they constantly air up and deflate around the clock I have those on for 4 day till I was able to start to move around some when they remove those I have to wear support hose to also help prevent blood clot from travel to my lung I have the 2nd chest tube remove on june 10th the doc say I would probably get to leave that day but end up stay another 2 day cuz my oxygen was low I almost qualified for home oxygen you have to be at 50 on the blood gas level I was at 59 so breathing was still tough I never have an appetite the whole time there because the pain was just to severe to want to eat I was on 24 hour around the clock oxygen of course I have a cathader in for the 1st 9 day I just could not move or get out of bed at all the normal hospital stay for this procedure is 3 to 5 day I was in the hospital for 15 day because I have been on and off prednisone steroid to breath with for 5 monthe prior to the surgery and it slow down the ammune system in the body and make you heal slow than normal and you can not fight infection off very well so that is why I was there for so long the incision and air leak just would not heal I have a portable xray every single morning I was there I come home on june 12th with a blood gas level of 59 oxygen in the blood I am at 64 last we check I was able to pull off the last bandage last night the 16th and the incision is infect I go to the surgeon tomorrow any way for the fallow up so I decide to wait and let they check it then I am still in alot of pain and am get more short of breath than when I get out of the hospital so I think that I may have air in the chest again or fluid in the lung I will know tomorrow it have been rough but it was a neccessary surgery to find out what was wrong with my lung every body pain tolerance is different so what was painful to I could be a breeze for someone else if you are face this procedure do not let my story scare you out of have the surgery do I have been sick a while before the surgery so my lung were weak in the 1st place sorry this was so long someone on the board think I should tell about my experience for those who were also face this procedure I have ask about it from other on the board before the surgery and only get a few response thank you to those who respond I hope this help other to understand what a v a t s surgery is rise,negative,0

ia d just like to start off by say ia m here to give my own story of cancer and the success ia ve have with treatment use dca your mileage my vary but dona t overlook dca as a possible option I was first diagnose with brain cancer on feb 18th 2012 after an mri reveal a grade 3 astrocytoma tumor my oncologista s initial recommendation was surgery for a biopsy and then resection if this was unsuccessful then radiation and then chemo immediately after I come to term with have cancer I start research alternative treatment that I could try before go down the surgery or chemo road a lot of my research have to do with weigh the pro and con of traditional and alternative method mainly I was concern with the side effect of either method and how this would affect my quality of life of my remain time and if they were worth try the most promising alternative that I discover with the least amount of risk was dca initially when I first start read about dca I dismiss it because it almost sound too good to be true I start my treatment after consult with my doctor and insist we give this a try before I try anything else how dca work is it cause the cancer cell to essentially kill themselves after the first 2 3 month of treatment I was feel well and my tumor have stop grow 3 6 into treatment my tumor have shrink a significant amount over the period of an 18 month treatment I have see my cancer shrink and now I am in complete remission on top of the dca I am eat a very strict diet so I believe that play a part as well I think more people should look into use dca as an alternative to just conventional method dca is also very simple to use ita s just a powder that you dissolve in water and take once a day dca is not regulate and is not patent therefore it can be manufacture quite cheaply as a result of this pharmaceutical company are not interested in the drug ita s really sad that these corporation are not put funding into more research and testing of these drug to get the final push to have they regulate because the profit arena t there for they,neutral,1

first of all let I say that no two people are alike and that your result may differ from mine with that say I would like to detail my recent colonoscopy in hope that it may enlighten those who have yet to have one and those who may have have one a while back and thing are always change I have my first colonoscopy 10 year ago the prep at that time was drink over one gallon of liquid over a period of time I do remember drink start at 12 00 after midday and again at 6 00 after midday of the same day it was lot of liquid and it taste terrible fast forward to april of 2017 this time the prep I use was call suprep you mix a six ounce bottle of liquid crud with water equal 16 oz drink it down and then follow with 32 oz of water I take this at 6 00 after midday the evening before my colonoscopy and then repeat the same thing at 5 00 before midday the day of my colonoscopy the way my gastro doctor have I prep was no fiber diet two day prior and then only liquid the day before a tip to drinking and something I read which was helpful is have the liquid cold and drink it through a straw I also mix a little crystal light with the solution to take the medicinal taste away I also sip the mixture while hold my breath and then take a drink of propel water to minimize the bad taste it was a mix between sweet and savory but definitely not unbearable after take the first dose at 6 00 after midday I have one fairly large bowel movement about one hour later and then nothing else that evening I think this isna t bad at all well then come 5 00 before midday the next morning when you have to repeat everything over this time I finish the mixture at around 5 30 and even before finish the 32 oz of water bang wow I was clean out in a few hour and everything come out like a waterfall you know you have do a good job when whatever wind up come out at the end is clear I have to leave for my 8 00 before midday appointment at 7 30 before midday not really know if I was go to have to go again I would suggest maybe wear an adult diaper to the doctora s office in case you need to go on the way I didna t have one so I wrap a towel in my undie just in case I didna t go in the car but need to dash to the restroom 2 3 time prior to the colonoscopy now the colonoscopy is start you cana t drink anything at all two hour prior to the procedure but you have been go to the bathroom a lot and when they attempt to put in the iv they have a really hard time because I was dehydrate no duh there isna t much you can do about this they eventually find a vein somewhere on my right side but the doctor was talk to I try to distract I and I think it was finally put in my hand colonoscopy is do with the light anesthesia give you dona t and shouldna t remember much if anything about the whole process I love that part you then recover and my doctor say to resume a regular diet as soon as I feel like it I have one bowel movement the evening of and see blood in my stool and on the toilet paper I call after hour and they say to watch it and let they know if it didna t go away the next day well the next day today I have another bowel movement and everything come out good I am hope to be out of the wood at this point I have have discomfort in my intestine pass gas and feel somewhat nauseous I take some gas pill for this and they really help I have three a diminutivea small polyp that were remove and send to pathology I am cross my finger to receive a good report back after this the doctor will give recommendation on when to repeat the colonoscopy not a lot of fun but necessary if you are 50 and above I would rather go through this than not and find out too late that I have colon cancer hope this have been helpful,neutral,1
I hope that someone will please answer since I am desperate with worry and can not stop cry I have been downright stupid I will admit I am 62 and have never have a colonoscopy out of fear of the anesthesia neither colon cancer nor polyp run in my family and I have lab do every 6 month last time 2 week ago and everything was completely normal so I have not worry much about the colonoscopy however over the past couple of year I have have very light pink blood 2 or 3 time only on the toilet paper after an urgent bm and twice a tiny bit or red blood again on the paper I have small hemorrhoid but do not know if this is what cause the bleeding the reason why I feel so anxious is because a couple of month ago I start feel a light but nevertheless worrisome sensation which I think was due to a small left ovarian cyst an on and off momentary cramp or twinge in that area but after ultrasound my gyn tell I that the cyst is too small and per the radiologist benign and recommend that I have a colonoscopy I have never eat much fiber but have always been pretty regular I am now terrify because I have increase my fiber significantly and the frequency of bowel movement that I have should be much more than what I am have they are pasty and not as thick as they use to be sorry about the detail and do not come every day I do not feel as if I have go enough and the sensation on the left side is now more frequent and strong I eat a very low fat diet due to gallbladder issue but lead a very sedentary life and am a totally depressed mess do any of you think this could be colon cancer have you have similar symptom what was your diagnosis if you were diagnose with cancer how long ago if you are old like I any problem with the procedure or anesthesia I have an appointment with a gi doctor in a couple of week and I imagine well schedule a colonoscopy I am so afraid that I have waste the life that god so generously give I,negative,0

I have a ct scan for prostate cancer in sept 2012 the radiologist find a suspicious area in the ileocecal area which could be stool collapse bowel or possible neoplasm colon cancer I have no symptom whatsoever of colon cancer or prostate cancer the suspicious area is probably not prostate relate a prostate cancer stage 3 cancerous lymph node not near the cecum is stable that is why I get a ct scan every 4 month no symptom per annum 350 my per annum double every 4 5 year from 1993 2008 then make a big jump so I start see an oncologist no prostate symptom and never have treatment symptom might change my mind my oncologist recommene I ask my pcp to prescribe a colonoscopy my pcp also recommend a colonoscopy with no symptom whatsoever of prostate cancer or colon cancer I do not want to risk possible damage from a colonoscopy I have refuse a prostate biopsy because of the risk in the rectum and a colonoscopy is much more invasive than a prostate biopsy my pcp say if I should decide not to have colon cancer treatment surgery if cancer is find I do not need to have a colonoscopy the cancer center nurse who manage the mercy hospital cancer library ask I whether length of life or quality of life was more important to I I tell her quality of life I am age 82 then she say the decision is yours always she say if I do not plan to have colon cancer treatment surgery then I need not have a colonoscopy my problem is that I can find no information on the internet that trace the most typical path colon cancer take and how long between stage for untreated colon cancer my aunt bess have frank bleeding from the bowel in the 1970 and was admit to the hospital while there she slip and fall break her hip because she was age 90 she have no colon cancer surgery and her hip was not set she was bedridden today I learn death but I have no further detail old people many time lose their appetite and also do not drink enough water death can occur from malnutrition dehydration or pneumonia as well as from heart problem or cancer I do no know the official cause of her death except that it was probably natural from one or more of these cause we all have to die of something sometime we all just hope that it is not in misery and that pain is adequately control do anyone have any detail of the progress of untreated colon cancer of course with treatment there are many possible side effect from surgery and other threatment that is why hospital have support group and percentage are high for a middle aged person to die from colon cancer even if they have been treat the decision might be different for I age 82 than for someone age 50 60 colon cancer is slow grow as is prostate cancer al,negative,0

my father recently have a colonoscopy do there were 6 small polyp that were easily remove during the colonoscopy but one was abnormal in size and close to the anus the doctor take a sample of the lesion which will be test for cancer the doctor advise we he could not remove the abnormal polyp before christ of it is size and that laparoscopic surgery is necessary they have to make an incision in his belly open he up do a colon resection and stitch everything back up not only do I pray that the lesion is benign but was hope that laparoscopic surgery could some how be avoid and be do via a colonoscopy I read on the internet rarely a polyp will be too large to remove during colonoscopy which mean that a surgical procedure will be need at a later time I guess my question is what size is consider too large I am hope this doctor is not just eager to use his knife is all and do not want my 64 year old father with diabete to have to go through the recovery stage thank in advance,neutral,1

hi I am not ask for a recommendation I know that no matter what the concern the safe move is to get it check out by a doctor through a colonoscopy it give you your good chance at survive cancer if you have it and it will give you piece of mind if you do not have it of course if you do have it the piece of mind thing go down the drain which is why I am hesitant anyway my question is as follow I experience some rectal bleeding in february of 2007 which really alarm I the first time it happen I just notice red streak on the toilet paper and I know I would been strain so I figure it was probably something on or near the anus two day later what scare I into schedule an appointment was see a blood clot blood line in mucus in the water the gastroenterlogist I visit do a digital rectal exam do not find any abnormality and say it was probably hemorrhoid but to keep an eye on it while I alter my diet to include more fiber and if I have a recurrence to schedule another appointment well 34 month go by without one as far as I could tell I do occasionally notice reddish piece in the stool but it was pretty obvious that these incidence were from undigested carrot or tomato but last night after a fairly large dinner I have a bowel movement and notice that some of the stool in the bowl was color red I think it was just coat in blood as oppose to mixed but I was not sure additionally the toilet paper would have blood with a chunk or two of stool mix in I go a couple of more time that night and notice only trace amount of blood on the outside of the stool in the successive one it seem to have vanish now but I am obviously freak out again anyway I would just like to know what such a long period of time in between occurrence likely mean I have a sink feeling that I have a chance to actually be one of the lucky one who catch it early enough to possibly survive it back during my first episode but blow it in not demand a colonoscopy back then now that it is been almost 3 year if it was cancer all along I might as well begin write my will however aside from have a little more blood I have not definitively notice any new symptom I have been a little more tired than usual the past week or so but that is probably due to my sleep schedule I turn 25 in february by the way thank to anyone who may take the time to read this and respond,neutral,1

hello I have been research for a month or more and figure I might as well post I am currently 8 month pregnant due beginning of october for a few month I have been have some problem with bowel movement my first symptom was some blood on the stool itself and a little on the toilet paper it is never been a lot but concern to say the least it have always been bright red I go to doctor and he say probably hemorrhoid due to pregnancy I ask he to confirm and so he do a proctoscope and he see internal hemorrhoid not long after that appointment I start notice thin stool mucus on the stool and sometimes I would go to have a bowel movement and would just have bloody type mucus before the stool I have not have any abnormal pain I ask the doctor at my next appointment for something unrelated about the thin stool and again he was not concerned because of the hemorrhoid I am 26 year old and never have any problem before like 3 4 month pregnant my stool is not form hard ball it is normal color just small with mucus and blood at time not all bowel movement have blood and mucus more when I strain a little and then a day or two after my mom is stage 4 breast cancer and to be honest anything that go wrong with I I instantly tell myself it is probably cancer so a bit paranoid do anyone have any reassurance that this is more than likely cause by the hemorrhoid and pregnancy and not cancer I am under the assumption that there really is not anymore test since proctoscope do until after pregnancy thank you so much for listen it is hard feel like there could be something seriously wrong and not being able to know for sure is it a good sign that the doctor do see the hemorrhoid thank tylette,neutral,1

it take every thing for my mom to get the junk you drink before a colonoscopy down she is 73 soon to be 74 and to drink that take all she have I keep tell she that soon it will be all do and she would not have to go through this for another 5 yrs we all think they would not find any thing after all my dad who is 83 was just tell last yr that he have lymphoma leukemia and hodgkin disease not sure yet if they are all related to each other or are separate cancer but also colon cancer run rampid on my father side his test for that come back good and so do my brother so we think this would go fine too it do not run at all on my mom side when she come back from her colonoscopy and tell we that they find 2 small polyp take out and one that was to large to take out on her colon I was so very stunned they do a ct scan on friday and on mon will be able to tell she what is go on and when the large one will be take out with part of her colon I think they might also tell on mon what the finding were on the polyp they send in I believe they do take a little bit of the big one on the colon as well to test I am so very scart for she right now as it stand do this mean she absolutely have colon cancer I know the test result are come so I should not ask but I am just so worried my husband say that yes she do have colon cancer I think that just maybe they could be benign polyp and not carry cancer but my husband say no that they all do if so then they do not fill my mom in completely at the clinic and I am not tell she what my husband say his dad have the same exact thing and they take a big portion of his colon out he is fine except for once he eat he have to make sure he is near a bathroom quick it have been 15 yrs for he also the same for all of his brother and sister the doctor tell they all that after their operation they should have chemo do for any of the cancer cell leave none of they would do it and they have all make it this long I am so very scart for my mom we just go through so much pain a year ago with my dad and find all of that out now this I keep pray it will all work out hope4mymom roxy,neutral,1
hi all my husband was diagnose with stage 4 colon cancer we are very confused the initial ct scan of his lung and liver were negative but the surgeon find 2 small lesion on the liver during his surgery for the colon resection which were both biopsied and positive for cancer they do a follow up ct scan and pet scan which were both negative the lesion find in surgery do not even show up he is schedule to start 6 cycle chemo on tuesday the oncologist then say to track he will probably have to have laparoscopic surgery to view the lesion this sound a little strange the lymph node test after surgery were negative so of course we are hopefully wish this is all a mistake but I can not imagine they would get the biopsy wrong on both lesion our first thought is to get a 2nd opinion but we live in small town and this would take considerable time and delay treatment anybody ever hear of anything like this,neutral,1
my mom just get her test back today none of the small polyp they remove are cancerous and the piece they take off the big one on her colon is alright too she is still very scart about surgery though and want I to ask several question I will post they separtely I was so relieved to hear nothing was cancerous that I just figure every thing should be fine for the operation in my last thread sorry I forget their name someone say when they were 28 they also have polyp remove and the surgery was very exhausting and there was much recovery time not to mention other complication I believe she say her father at age 70 decide to leave his large polyp on his colon which was noncancerous because the surgery he feel would have been to much for he at his age I am honestly not sure I should tell my mom about this the dr must not have go into any of it he know my mom pretty well and she get worried very easily and have anxiety issue and high blood pressure so when he can he leave thing out and sugar coat they which right now I do not know if that is good or bad have anyone else esp around my mom age she is 74 have a noncancerous polyp remove from their colon and every thing go fine or their were complication please either way inform I I do want to know I am just still go to debate on tell my mom her surgery is schedule for this thur the 6 hope4mymom,negative,0

I am very sad to be here post this my mother turn 60 yesterday and have her colonoscopy this morning the doctor find a tumor that was too big to remove during the procedure he take a few sample and send it off for biopsy he tell we that just by look at it he is unable to tell we whether it is benign or malignant he say it is about 4 cm 1 5 inch and a fairly large size other than that he say we d have to wait a week for the result and whether they be malignant or benign the mass would need to be remove anyway of course I was cry my eye out and my mom was so calm but I just am so scared the doctor do not seem very optimistic at least in my opinion so her background she have have diverticuliti off and on in her 50 and suffer with constipation her whole life she have also have hemorrhoid but nothing too major she have never been a drinker or a smoker and cancer do not run in our family at all that we know of she is a just a tad overweight maybe 10 20 pound at most also she have never have a colonoscopy before she have no pain no weight loss and have a chest x ray about two month ago for an elective cosmetic procedure it was negative however she do tell I that she have have a tinge of bright red blood after a bm while wipe about three time in the past three year so this concern I a bit oh and about two year ago when she have severe pain in her left side she go to the er and they do a ct scan with iodine they discover that she have diverticulitis would they have see the tumor at this point so would mind help my mom and I out with these question we would appreciate it so much we would just like to know about the sizing and the real chance of this tumor being benign is there any way to find out the result early why can not he give we a well idea by just look at it I am so scared for my mom I can not even function she is my very good friend and I am a complete wreck I never think this could happen to she in a million year please give we any information and advice you have we thank you so so much oh and another question would a tumor be a large polyp or are these different finding in the rectum a nonobstructe large size fungate friable 4 cm by 4 cm mass was see the mass was not bleed,negative,0

hi I am new here and I am so glad I find this site my husband was just diagnose with rectal cancer cat scan were negative but he still need an endoscopic ultrasound to stage the depth of the cancer the surgical oncologist say that do chemo radiation before surgery is recommend to decrease it from re occur in the rectum but if he really want it out now he could do the surgery he also say we do not have to make a decision right now but when you hear it is cancer you want it out of your body as quick as possible he say it would not increase the survival rate overall but it would be well to kill off the cell before they operate and may be able to do laproscopic surgery have anyone been face with this decision were still in shock just have our first grandchild enjoy life and this hit we I have not sleep cry all the time and try to be strong around the family I think I need therapy he is strong than I have anyone live long than 5 yr after rectal cancer I just feel so helpless right now I wish it were I,negative,0

I seem to have some symptom that could be irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease or perhaps there is a chance it is colorectal cancer if anyone would like to offer their opinion I would appreciate it back in december I start feel kid of bloated and I was constipate a lot when I pass stool they were very thin the doctor say it was an inflame intestine and he give I some zegerid for a few month after that I feel fine then the symptom come back during the first time I develop a low tolerance for alcohol and soda drink they make I very thirsty and make my throat dry up so much I feel like vomit the same thing happen again I quit drink alcohol and a few week ago I quit drinking caffeinate beverage in an attempt to wean myself off of soda completely I have not have the dry mouth feeling since then but in the two week and two day since I have feel so tired that I feel as though I can fall asleep at any time I have always been a light sleeper who sleep too much more than I would like and since then I have notice I am sleep less almost as much as a normal person but I am still tired a lot so the bloat symptom have come back I have notice that now my stool are kind of flatten last night I have a movement that was not and was normal sign for my sedentary and unhealthy lifestyle despite being only 28 the bloat the thin and narrow stool the fatigue so here the sign against my age 28 year old can get rectal cancer but the odd are against it still I donate plasma they stick your finger beforehand and run a protein level test I know that is the least they check and that and the donation process should turn up anemia I ask that once of course I am not go to assume this is gospel but it is logical my flat or thin stool come and go as do the bloat the fatigue is severe caffeine withdrawal people who know how much soda I drink are not surprised that the process is take so long no sign of blood in stool I put in an extra light bulb in my bathroom so I can be sure I guess if I can admit the follow anywhere it would be here I take an instrument to pull the stool to the surface my toilet is rust at teh bottom so when a stool sink I can not tell what it look like occasionally there are dark brown spot on regular brown but I would think blood in the stool if there would be more obvious that that but feel free to correct I the way caffeine and alcohol affect I seem to go more with ibs than cc I may be tired a lot but I do not feel weak I most definitely have not lose weight I will see the doctor on tuesday to get his opinion but in the meantime if anyone have anything to offer I woul appreciate it,negative,0

hi I hope someone have have a similar experience they can share or offer some insight on what is go on with I I have have 2 colonoscopy over the past 2 month they have find moderate diverticulitis polyp which were remove and one tumor which they take several sample of for biopsy which come back negative for cancer all biopsy of polyp and tumor come back negative for cancer and negative for pre cancerous condition last week in the second colonoscopy the doctor take more biopsy of the tumor which I am still wait for result on I am wonder why they keep take biopsy they were unable on both colonoscopy to go past the tumor area even with a thin scope I am schedule for colon resection surgery hopefully lap in a couple of week which I am not look forward to it would certainly be less stressful if I was assure that there was not cancer but it seem like that is always a possibility because they could not do a complete colonoscopy we still do not know the entire picture of what is go on the cat scan seem to show everything clear beyond the tumor area but the scan is not that clear either so I am await surgery and still not sure what is go on I am wonder if they will be able to tell more from the surgery itself or if we are go ahead with the surgery without have a good idea about why we are do it the doctor say if you can not get a scope through the area you really have no choice but surgery I would love to have some more information from anyone who who have have a similar experience and would appreciate your information and advice very much,neutral,1

I have a colonoscopy last week and they do discover a tumor which I am expect the biopsy back on anytime why do they have to confirm if a tumor is malignant with a biopsy is there any other kind of tumor in the colon other than polyp I just assume if you have a tumor in your colon it would be malignant any information would be appreciate what is the size of colon tumor my doctor say mine was about 3 cm but that size was not necessarily indicative of the possiblity it have spread he also say tumor grow from the inside out so they could be large than what show up in a colonoscopy gwb,neutral,1

hi everyone yesterday I go to the bathroom no 2 and when I wipe there was some bright red blood on the tp it was not a ton but it definitely cover most of the surface area I decide to just wait it out before panic completely this morning I do another no 2 and there was a little bit of blood on the tp but probably less than half as much as yesterday there was no blood in the toilet and none as far as I could see in the actual stool I have been read about this and I know that colon cancer is the bad possible scenario I am a 24 year old female and I currently do not have health insurance just start a new job so there is a wait period so I am wonder what I should do my instinct tell I to just wait it out and hopefully it will just go away on it is own I have been kind of force bowel movement lately while at work because I have been in a hurry when should I consult a doctor I would like to wait as long as possible see as there is no history of colon cancer in my family I guess overall I am wonder if it is hemroid or an anal fissure just stress from the bowel movement when should the bleeding stop when should I be concern also this past spring I was diagnose with thyroid cancer and underwent surgery for it I am fine now but ever since then I have been paranoid about every little thing that go wrong with my body I know this board must get these kind of question all the time but I would appreciate any advice thank in advance,negative,0

hello my friend I am post on this board not for myself but for a dear friend here is a summary of what have happen she was diagnose with stage 2 colon cancer in april of 2005 she recieve radiation and chemotherapy up until about august I believe during which she get a severe infection in her kidney and uterus her kidney were treat and heal but her uterus have fall from the infection in september the doctor say the cancer was go and they continue on to remove the segment of intestine that was affect put in an illostomy and then remove her uterus they also put in a port she suffer extreme extreme pain from this surgery and was on so much morphine she do not even remember anything for over a week she start to recover from the first surgery although still have pain and they decide to do the surgery to remove the illostomy and port during that surgery they find that she have get a hernia from the first surgery and do not find until the second surgery they fix that during this second surgery and she do well although still in pain understandably she do not require as much pain medication and was able to go home in just a few day we were worried that she have go home so early but the doctor say she was ready a few day later she begin to throw up violently and have a fever she become so sick that she have to be rush to the emergency room here is the real problem it seem there have been a lot of problem with the doctor and nurse which start the bad she do not eat or get a nutrient bag from the 16th to the 21st the doctor do not even bother until a friend of the family a register nurse say that it need to be do later her family recommend do an endoscopy which should have been the choice of the doctor in my opinion after do the endoscopy they find knot all over in her stomach and her stomach was full of bile there continue to be a lack of communication from the doctor she have a blockage of the intestine which the doctor just tell today even though he have know for day before he do not know what was go on which a nurse admit but do not bother to run any test during her treatment in the hospital she have to have her iv change and redone every day because of the chemo she have her arm have swell up twice their size and were black and blue up and down finally the friend of the family again make a recommendation that maybe they should put in a pick line they do put in a pick line finally the other day a nurse come in to draw blood she go to draw the blood from she before midday even though she have the pick line her family argue this say that it could be draw from the pick line after the nurse insist that it could not be do they find another nurse to do it when they come back in the first nurse have already draw the blood from she before midday the second nurse repremande she and say that it could have been do if she just come and get she my friend is not do well she is have to be on morphine again from the pain and have not been stay concious very long usually only for a few minute at a time I am really concerned that she may not make it if the doctor keep go this route how do we get the doctor to listen her family have try and try and it just do not seem to be work her doctor is suppose to be the good but from our standpoint he is not at all what should we do anyone ever hear of these complication any help would be greatly appreciate ver,negative,0
hi all I have to tell you that it is been awhile since I post and have visit the board lately my husband last year as some of you may remember was diagnose with stage 3 rectal cancer almost the exact same situation as far as location staging and all as cancer dad my husband was 37 last yr when diagnose we have 3 child and it really hit we for a whammy I was really bum last night because of what some of the oncologist tell my husband and I have find myself in a funk because of it so in the midst of my funk last night I think I would visit the board in think that I would post a message but find myself just read and catch up wow wow wow it was so great to read how so many of you are still press on and survive this horrible disease even after manyof you were tell it look grim you veteran on this board are such a true inspiration angel on earth and it really help I last night in my weakness to draw in on your strength so here is the late hubby is back to work finish chemo radiation last nov then have his reversal of the bag in jan the reversal do not go as well as plan still leakage from his anus but it is well than the bag he still wear depend and load up on lomitil to keep the accident under control he have some scan do 2 month ago all look well he is schedule to have another colonoscopy w in the next few week it will actually be the first one since his last one last yr when they find the cancer so in meeting with the oncologist I guess they have sort of rain on our parade to say the least I realize it is cancer were deal with and I realize that it always have the chance of reoccurance but with no indicator that it have spread and that it is under control this is what they are now tell we you know you are high risk for reoccurance because of your age staging when you were diagnose that you have a high chance of it come back so we do not want to compromise your health now with more chemo preventive because most likely it will come back and you will need more you can consider yourself lucky to be sit here now I hope I see you next year and the year after but there are no promise and most people do not make it past 4 5 year in your case statistically what make I mad was that at the initial visit they say that to be happy it was not stage 4 and that they were go to treat for cure not to prolong life now the same oncologist a year later say this with no further evidence that it have spread so needless to say just when we pick our self up and start to get on now I feel that we have this black cloud hover over we so in read your post last night I was truly inspire and I am go to head to the book store this am to buy the lance armstrong book for my hubby was look for cancer dad on here hope he is ok sound like he is have a tough time I hope and pray that he is ok sorry for the long post great to see so many of you still on here alison hiswife just to name a few take care,positive,2

hello everyone I have been read several of your post and follow your story and my heart go out to those of you who are battle this disease I have a question that I am certain will not relate to most people here but are there any people here who were diagnose with colon or rectal cancer after a colonscopy without a biopsy I ask this because I am represent a 56 year old lady whose general surgeon diagnose she with colon cancer because he see what he think was a carcinoma during her colonscopy he do not order a biopsy at that time three day later he remove 42 5 cm of her colon and her rectum and leave she with a permanent colostomy several biopsy were perform after her resection and there was no evidence of cancer not even dysplasia so her resection was completely unnecessary her symptom were actually from diverticulosis I have already retain a general surgeon expert who say that this was an absolute breach of the standard of care but I have have extreme difficulty find any other case where this have occur that may simply be because doctor always biopsy to confirm the diagnosis which seem like common sense to I I would appreciate any feedback that you may offer and you are in my thought and prayer I lose both my paternal grandparent to cancer although it was not colorectal cancer but I can certainly sympathize with your situation thank in advance for your help,negative,0

what do you think about my husband symptom for about the past 12 day he have been experience diarrhea and a feeling as if his stomach is always full like his food is not digest and the feeling is not relieve after a bowel movement he is also have red blood in his stool and in the toilet he is unable to to tell if the blood is from hemmoroid because of the diarrhea unable to identify if there are streak of blood or not he have a sudden urgency to go several time maybe 5 to 10 time per day last friday 4 day ago he go to a family doctor who give he a blood test and an xray of his abdominal area the blood test must have been normal because no one ever call we back about it the xray show he have a lot of fecal matter at the top beginning of his large intestine the doctor was surprised to see this because of the fact that my huband have diarrhea for many day the doctor consclusion was that for some reason stress change in routine blah blah the liquid part of the fecal matter was come out but not the dense part hence the diarrhea so basically he was bind up the doctor tell hime to buy a bottle of a magnesium sulfate laxative to clear thing out he drink it on friday night and have explosive bowel movement ever since it is four day later and he still have frequent diarrhea and a full feeling in his stomach as far as the red blood the doctor say she is not worried about that because it would be black in color if something was really wrong what do you all think I have been read a lot about colon cancer and other bowel disorder and have find that red blood can be a sign of something wrong as well as the diarrhea and feeling of fullness can an xray show a blockage or growth in the bowel should we be worried about a bowel obstruction my husband is 35 and in relatively good health he loves run however have not been do so the last couple of week due to this bowel problem and just have a lot of stuff go on we have have a couple of bad experience at this clinic in the past the only reason we go there is because it is cover by our insurance we can still see other well doctor but the coverage is not that good should I make another appt with the same dr or should I get a 2nd opinion or should I just try to make an appt with a gi spec thank michelle,negative,0

lately I often see tiny amount of bright red blood on my stool and sometimes on the toilet tissue I read on the net that the most possible cause is a hemorrhoid I am also aware it can be something more serious my question here is mainly about a hemorrhoid though I have a colonoscopy do about 5 5 year ago I remember at that time the gi specialist say he find a hemorrhoid but I can not remember whether he say he remove it or not so if a gi specialist find a hemorrhoid during a colonoscopy do he usually remove it or not now let we assume that the gi specialist have already remove that hemorrhoid 5 5 year ago is it likely that now I have again another hemorrhoid which cause the bright red blood usually how long do it take for someone to have a hemorrhoid develop is 5 5 year too short to have another hemorrhoid sorry for so many question I will deeply appreciate your reply,neutral,1

anyone who have think about have a colonoscopy because of symptom or family history but have not because of being scared of the test itself or the result do not put it off call your doctor pronto I am a 48 year old female who is a big baby when it come to medical procedure but the test was a breeze I sleep through it and am now home restin in bed I want to thank the folk on this board who give I info on the test the prep and everything but most importantly just encouragement to do it since I was scared see above the test show I have 2 polyp 1 diminutive and 1 4 mm pedunculate and I am now wait on the result the doctor say it look good no cancer but would not know for certain until next week either way a good outcome total relief or at least it was find early thank you poster,positive,2
two or three week ago I notice a little bit of blood on the toilet paper after defecate several time in a short span but I figure it was most likely due to some sort of anal tear or something since I do not see any in the stool and I was reassure by the fact that I was not entirely surprised to see it as my anus do feel kind of raw however the next morning surprisingly I again notice a streak of blood on the toilet paper after go after that it seemingly stop I do not notice anything until yesterday I was come back from class and have an extreme urge to defecate and have to rush to the bathroom this is pretty abnormal for I because this was unrelenting pressure and I know I have to hurry I was relieve after an explosive release of gas stool until I wipe and notice that the blood was back again I figure this might be something like fissure and I would just reopen one or something however after take a nap a few hour later I wake up and have to defecate everything seem normal but then I look down and see detach and kind of float separately not intersperse with the stool a mucusy blood clot type of thing basically just blood line in mucus bright red blood as you can imagine this scare the out of I what s scary it is completely painless I would imagine that is a sign it is colon cancer rather than fissure hemorrhoid my family history one grandfather survive colon cancer that is the only one I am aware of as far as that is concern I am notice a change in bowel habbit right now but then my bowel habbit have been consistently inconsistent for the past 3 or 4 year with frequent bout of diarrhea and constipation there is really been no consistency in my stool at all I am pretty sure people read will recommend see a doctor but the problem is well first of all the thought of anything go up my rectum be it finger or a tube of some sort freak I out then I am debate whether it is even worth look into as I understand it by the time symptom show up it is usually too late the last thing I want to do is go in have a painful procedure come back have the doctor tell I I have stage 4 cancer of some sort and probably give I a time frame in which I have to live I do not want to know and I do not really want to risk find out I would imagine that if I know I were go to die soon I would basically be miserable for whatever little time I have leave I worry a lot when it come to health relate issue so maybe it do not mean much when I am almost positive it is colon cancer but can someone give I a reason to see a doctor or a reason to doubt it is colon cancer besides the age thing,neutral,1

hi my father have to be readmitte to the hospital a few day ago it was approximately 5 week after his rectal cancer surgery and 3 week after his initial release he was readmitte due to sign of dehydration and an alarming amount of bloat in his abdomen after various test include a cat scan they confirm that his abdomen was fill with lymphatic fluid approximately 3 liter they promptly remove 1 liter by tap his stomach they were hesitant to remove any more due to an increase risk of infection since this fluid was remove 3 day ago even more fluid have return we are all alarmed by how much his abdoman have expand he look 6 7 month pregnant it is put great pressure on his rib and he is in constant discomfort have anyone experience this during their recovery from surgery my father is still under the care of his surgeon he have explain how the release of lymphatic fluid is likely due to two suspicious node that were remove the tissue have not heal yet and will continue to release fluid until it heal on its own they can not give we a time frame they have put a pic line in his before midday and have start to give he a special nutrition feed that will hopefully facilitate a reduction in the bloat I am just wonder whether we should be seek the advice of a specialist if so what kind of specialist I can not help but wonder what effect this severe bloating might be have on his major organ lung heart kidney and so on I am desperate for help update I have since learn that his condition was diagnose as chylous ascite it appear to be a very rare condition from what I have read on line due to its rarity very little information is available on line probably no one from this board have experience this but perhaps I would be grateful for any advice,neutral,1

I am not sure if I should even be post but its the only topic close to my concern short history 44y o male smoker 1pk day for way too long father die of cancer about 3 week ago I start to become pretty constipate I was take hydrocodone for back and shoulder problem as a result I become very constipated I have great difficulty pass a bowel it was large and rank about 2 on the bristol scale to ease the pass I use a little vaseline to make the pass a bit easy none the less I pass it I do not notice anything strange other than the size the dryness and what appear to be a white mass toward the bottom end I presume this was residual lube the following day I have another bw no where near as large I was shocked to see blood on the out side it too was range about a 2 on the bristol scale although no were near as large in volume this have even more white stuff which I can only presume to be mucu on it consider I do not use any lube to pass it I have pass blood once before but only for one day back in 02 I have a sigmoideoscopy which was pretty much negative with the exception of a small polyp which was remove and check which was negative I think they also say something about hemorrhoid but do not recall when I recently pass blood I was shocked but then associate that to the possible roid unfortunately I am still pass blood and mucus I have contact the gp pcp last thursday and they suggest I increase water and fiber possibly a laxative to clean out I was then schedule for a visit this last monday and I go in he do an anal scope and confirm the roid issue but also say that I was rather inflame and he think the bleeding might be come from high up he also do a blood workup which I receive today in the mail and all is w in normal range although rbc is borderline low 4 54 and my bun is slightly below average at 6 since the then by bm are very inconsistent in mass and volume I have been experience gas both at both end over the last few day I have notice an increase in what I believe is overactive intestinal activity gnaw and churn low back and abdominal pain and a loss of appetite amidst all of this is still the blood what appear to be on the stool but now I seem to be pass gas along w blood and only mucus any bowel that do pass is light in volume and loose I was think if this is a fissure or roid that it would have heal maybe I am wrong within a couple week so I am more than a bit concerned I am schedule for a sigmoid this come friday but this anxiety this is really get to I any thought or experience would be greatly appreciate the sooned the well tai b,neutral,1

my father was dxd with rectal cancer in sept 06 I have get a lot of great information from this site in the month since his diagnosis I am now hope that I can get feedback from other member who have receive treatment similar to my father I am overwhelm by the complexity of everything forgive I for give only a limited amount of detail in regard to my father condition and treatment after 6 week of chemo and radiation that start on 10 19 06 my father have laparoscopic tme surgery exactly a week ago on 1 16 07 he have a temporary ileostomy he is anticipate a reconnection surgery in 2 3 month I have so many question and I would be grateful to get a response to any of my question 1 my father is 75 yrs old we were tell by the surgeon that it was not that unusual for someone my father age to have this surgery especially since he was in otherwise good health now that we have enter the recovery phase I question the doctor judgment his recovery have been miserable and I am certain that a lot of this have to do with his age have anyone been through this surgery at this age or know of someone who have been through the surgery at this age 2 the pathology report come back with no trace of any cancer it appear that the chemo and radiation have completely kill the cancer I have been tell that this is rather rare it is also rather surprising since we have been tell by another surgeon that my father may have a stage 2 or 3 tumor have anyone experience a similar outcome this outcome should make we rather happy it is offset by the recognition that my father do not even need to have this surgery this is make even more frustrating by his difficult and painful recovery it have also been hard for my sister and i since we have pressure he into have the surgery in the first place my father either do not want to have any surgery at all or he was look into an excision type procedure is anyone familiar with excision 3 we were prepare for a surgery that would take 3 to 4 hour it end up take 6 hour the delay was explain to we in a very technical way that do not make a whole lot of sense have anyone experience a similarly long surgery 4 as a result of the surgery and the length of the surgery one of my father two vocal chord become paralyzed we were tell that this was not unusual and his vocal chord would eventually recover on its own have anyone experience this 5 my father bowel have still not start function on its own as a result he still can not take liquid or solid his stomach is also fill with liquid and gas and cause incredibly painful gas pain two time they have to insert an ng tube in order to drain his bloated stomache this have been rather uncomfortable for he and is far irritate his vocal chord we are continue to be tell that his bowel need to wake up from the trauma of surgery and there is nothing he can do to speed this process up other than walk they have take an x ray to rule out the possibility of a blockage now that we are on day 8 of a hospitalization that was not suppose to last more than 7 day we are start to lose hope have anyone else experience a similar delay in bowel function 6 have anyone else feel that the surgeon do not do a good job of prepare the patient and family for the trauma and recovery from surgery was this our responsibility to make sure we ask the right question I would hate to suggest that the surgeon exploit my father condition by view he as a pay customer 7 is anyone familiar with the recovery from open surgery and how it may compare to the recovery from laparoscopic surgery choose between the two procedure was difficult for we we specifically choose laparoscopic surgery because we have read that the recovery was short and easy it have been anything but easy and short have anyone else experience similar complication from laparoscopic surgery I have been tell that laparoscopic surgery take long than open surgery I would think that being under anesthesia for more time would cause additional complication that is what appear to have happen in my father case I am just wonder how unusual this is I am sure I will have more question as my father recovery continue but that is all for now thank to everyone for all of the great information that have been post to this message board,negative,0

after not being able to assuage my concern about my bowel habit and such list in some other thread here I break down and have a colonoscopy a few week ago long story short this was my second procedure in four year and although the doc indicate that everything is normal I have two concern 1 in my colonoscopy four year ago a different doctor find some diverticulosis that he characterize as mild I believe however in the recent procedure the doctor say he could not find it I was a little woozy and can not remember exactly what he say but it was something like it could have been hide in a fold or somesuch my concern is this if this doctor could not find diverticulosis that another doctor have find because it was hide in a fold then it make I wonder if he was not careful enough in look through fold and might have miss something else is this a legitimate concern or is it possible that diverticulosis can hide from one colonoscopy to another whereas polyp cancer and so on would not 2 how do everyone feel about the recent report on the quality of colonoscopy the gist of the report was that some doctor might rush the procedure and therefore miss thing which tie into my concern above thought appreciate,negative,0
I was experience pain on my backside for several month and go to the doctor in july he indicate that he want to do a biopsy of the tissue outside of my anus to determine if I have some sort of cancerous growth the biopsy was about 4 inch long along the left side of the sphincter muscle and quite deep in place he do not stitch the incision and indicate that the incision would close via granularization over time I have have other surgery where I have have an incision dehist and am familiar with this sort of healing leave the wound open allow any drainage to occur that is need as well as to avoid trap any infection inside the biopsy come back positive for squamous cell carcinoma I believe and a course of chemo therapy and radiation was immediately order my surgeon indicate that this treatment was 90 effective which give I great hope and make I anxious to start treatment prior to treatment a ct scan indicate that the malignancy was limit to the biopsy site and have not spread to the lymph node or any surround tissue in the middle of august I have my first chemo treatment on the same day I begin 6 week of daily radiation for 4 week the radiation was less focused and result in the equivalent of sunburn in an area about 6 inch tall both front and back of course this was expect to some extent but cause serious discomfort on the penis and scrotum after time this heal a second chemo occur 28 day after the first and then they begin a more focused radiation that aim the beam more tightly on the affected area follow my last radiation my radiation oncologist indicate that it would be at least 2 month before my energy level would return to normal she also indicate that the incision have not heal at all during the radiation since radiation actually destroy the tissue good and bad which cause the healing process to slow furthermore on my 1 month check up her exam indicate that I was still generate some necrotic tissue from the radiation which was sluffe off during sitz bath and so on the necrotic tissue generation seem to stop mid november here is where I am a bit curious as too whether I am being impatient sorry for the long lead in but I figure you would want some background first my incision is start to heal but is still only about 50 close and still drain my oncologist say that he want to see I in 3 month and the surgeon want to see I in march do it normally take this long to heal I have no experience with an incision in this area so I do not know also it is still quite painful and I am on a regimen of 45 mg of miss contin 2x per day as well as percocet for breakthrough pain it is still quite painful to sit on my rear and I have been use an inflatable donut to ease the pressure when I do I do feel that I am make progress and I am sure that the pain is add to my impatience but I just need to know if this is inside the norm I feel that I have dodge a bullet with the cancer but I also feel that the radiation treatment was pretty horrific the pain do not really start until after the 2nd week of the radiation any advice comment and so on would be greatly appreciate woody,negative,0
I wonder how common this problem is my wife of 78 fall down the stair 14 week ago and sustain a broken wrist and injury to her face this require a number of stitch to the inside her mouth since that date in early september she have refuse all food and her life is now dependant on a saline drip and three tablespoon of vitamin and calorie concentrated liquid needless to say she is confine to bed being unable to stand and support her own bodyweight prior to her admittance to hospital she have been suffer from colon cancer and diabete however she was reasonably mobile and do eat small quantity of food I am tell that the cancer exacerbate her anorexia condition my wife is in a rehabilitation ward of a national health service hospital here in the uk but I am not convinced that she is receive or indeed have receive the good or correct care for her condition the medical consultant have advise I that it is her cancer condition that is suppress her appetite but I have a problem understand why the fall should have trigger this reaction during the first couple of week after her fall I could understand why she refuse food since her mouth must have been very sore from the stitch her condition have been allow to continue now into 16 week it was only after I point out to the nursing staff that I think she was dehydrate when they finally put she on a saline drip after two week without any fluid at all I have been tell that the cancer have not grow significantly over the last couple of year so why would the cancer cause the loss of appetite the consultant have also advise I that force feed she is not an option and in the long term would only prolong her suffering I feel that perhaps I should have ask for a second opinion at the start of her admission to hospital and perhaps not put my faith into our fail national health service service the nursing staff appear to have give up with tempt she to eat anything now should I have seek a second opinion at the start of her admission and is there anything I can do now to help my wife I am keen to hear from anyone who may be in a similar situation and help to explain why the fall would have trigger she anorexia kind regard john,negative,0

to recap I have stage 1 colon cancer 5 year ago result in a resection and there was no lymph node involvment then 14 month ago I have another stage 2 cancer at the join of my previous resection and it was off to hospital for another operation again there was no spread or lymph node involvement I was offer chemo the second time but only because it was the second time I have have this cancer otherwise they would not normally have offer it because it was stage 2 I do not know what to do and after discussion with my own doctor I decide not to have the chemo as he feel it would cause more problem than it would help recently I have been find spotting of bright red blood on the tissue this do not happen all the time just occasionally but yesterday there was quite a bit of blood on the tissue and some in the toilet bowl I am due a colonoscopy on 30th october which will be the first since my last op and I am convinced I have get cancer again but I am pray it is not I know nobody can tell I whether it will be cancer again but what I do wonder is if anyone have experience bleed like this and find it was not cancer I do sometimes know when when there is go to be blood on the tissue as I feel a scratch sensation during a bowel movement but other time I feel nothing I often have to really strain to go to the toilet even though I have a desperate need to go it is almost like the stitching is too tight but once I have strain to get start I can go fairly normally sorry to be so graphic but I am just so cheese off with it all I can not believe this is all happen again as each time I have catch it early but it keep come back lalee,negative,0

I have recently notice that my stool is sometimes thin than at other time and have a distintive shape on one side sort of like a parenthesis actually it is not like this all the time however in fact for the last two day it have been a rounder shape and large if the distinctive shape is still there it is very faint and sort of expand my stool is typically relatively soft like toothpaste but at time is hard and rounder sometimes make up of small ball push together I take a home fob test recently which was negative I have a colonoscopy four year ago which was normal except for one region of minor diverticulitis I am 40 year old and other than being hyperthyroid I am in good health I suppose my question is is it possible with colon cancer for the stool to change size and shape or would it become thin and then progressively more so over time thank in advance for any thought sorry for the double post my browser go crazy,neutral,1

hi all I am back on the board after having been absent for about a year do anyone remember I I know a few people were kind enough to inquire about I after I leave these board the only reason I leave is that since I am highly vulnerable to suggestion well some of the doomy gloomy response get the good of I and I begin to worry even more I kind of promise my girlfriend that I would stay away from the internet so now I am back and in need of support outside of my friend and family I guess we are all here for those reason huh just to refresh your memory if you know I back then or if you are new my basic gastrointestinal history I am a 52 almost 53 year old male I am about 58 average 192 195 pound 1998 have blood in stool get a sigmoid from my first doctor he see red blotch and he call it proctitis 1998 get a second opinion from his partner my current gastro doc was dx from sigmoidoscopy with distal left side ulcerative colitis 1998 current never have a colonoscopy I have do four prep in the past but chickene out this is far explain below I do have one schedule for september 6th that I plan to do 1998 2006 symptom over the last 8 year have been various I have have bleed with bowel movement thin stool distend abdoman with tenderness of stiffness fecal urgency and so on I list my current symptom below current med are asacol 400 mg 12 tablet a day 4x3 rowasa enemas analpram cream as need inderal 20 mg 4x daily xanax 5 mg 4x daily I am reach out for support as I am emotionally and spiritually defeat in the wake of my condition s I feel total despair I have never feel so depressed in my life as I have been the last few month I have pain and discomfort almost everytime I use the bathroom and I have most of the symptom of colo rectal cancer certain symtom that I have are almost always find with cancer accord to many website as I state above I have have a colon disease for at least eight year now my first doctor well just call he dr s diagnose I with proctitis after do an on the spot sigmoidoscopy after that I change doctor for a second opinion and go to his partner at the time dr l my current doctor dr l perform a sigmoidoscopy and he diagnose I with left sided distal ulcerative colitis that was also eight year ago I have never have a colonoscopy and in recent month my symptom have change a bit and I even get a couple of new one I have been nothing short of obsessed and depressed about how I feel and I have a colonoscopy to undergo in less than two week this have always been a two part fear the first is about the whole anticipation anxiety deal and more so with the sedation dr l want I to have an anesthesiologist give I iv propofol and I will be totally put out which I have always have major issue with this go way back to a horrifying experience I have as a youngster when I was give ether as an anesthesia to remove a piece of metal in my eye I have never been put out since then I would prefer to be high on some good drug but my doctor adamamently want I out okay next is the fear now the big fear that the news will only be bad and I would not be able to handle it I just can not see any way that my symptom could be from something else even though my doctor have speculate that it is from uc my doctor use to tell I that he think I still have uc and not cc because I have have so many symptom for so long and my weight is about the same he think that if I have cc I would have been go a long time ago nowadays he say he is through speculating and would not say much until he scope I so here I am again online do some research and come across the information below I copy and paste it from a website remember I have been diagnose with left sided colitis which is consistent with the pencil thin stool I also have the incomplete emptying of the rectum and pain my rectal pain is more associated with every bowel movement and not always there so I dunno it can not be good pain is never good and serve as a warning and like the medical information say when there is pain involved it is in the later stage the other symptom I have are small amount of blood in stool not always distend abdomen gas difficulty in pass stool and the feeling of not completely empty mild moderate rectal pain bad with bowel movement and sometimes take nap not long after wake up this may be due to my medication or depression or bad I have copy and paste some information below that will possibly explain why I have been so worried and consume by my illness for quite a while now bottom line here is something is I feel that something is partially block my colon and or rectum on a good note I seem to be maintain my weight and my last blood test result may23rd were normal no anemia my appetite is generally good I do not have nausea or vomiting here is a paragraph from the website I refer to above change in the stool are often see these are chronic diarrhea in many right sided colon cancer and pencil thin stool in leave sided or rectal cancer a feeling of incomplete emptying of the rectum call tenesmus is frequent with rectal cancer pain usually occur only later in the disease usually due to painful spasm of the intestine and invasion of the cancer into nerve if a cancer grow large enough it can completely block the bowel cause bowel obstruction symptom of total bowel obstruction include no appetite no bowel movement abdominal pain bloat vomiting this is an emergency and must be treat with surgery every colo rectal surgeon have have the experience of first detect cancer at the time of this emergency surgery other common later ymptom include abdominal masse as the tumor grow weight loss liver enlargement and bone pain with spread to those organ nearly all untreated colon cancer will eventually spread to the liver since this follow the course of the drain venous blood from the colon the liver provide an ideal spongy blood rich area for cancer seed to implant and grow less than 10 of colon cancer spread to the brain but a change in motor skill judgement memory or sensation is occasionally the first sign note sometimes the first sign is spread of the cancer to another body area and the original tumor can not even be find but may have been from the digestive tract this cancer of unknown origin is a well describe clinical entity and a different topic in summation let I just say that my life is soooooo mess up I have been live like a condemn man it is insane I know but to I it is all too very real everytime I watch the tv and see someone who have pass away I think to myself that I will be join they I reminisce about the past a lot I try to run away from myself but can not my sleep pattern are awful I have cancel so many gig I am a professional musician comedian entertainer that I am go broke I am at home most of the time and only go out for food with my girlfriend or to get my med or see a doctor I can not stand or help my thinking anymore everytime I eat or go to the bathroom I am remind of my illness it seem that every day for I is full of despair and hopelessness I rarely joke or play music anymore I have been cry a lot my psychiatrist say that she is more worried about my mind than my body thank for read all of this please do not judge I or feel sorry for I I already know I am a lot of work and stubborn minded also please do not lecture I on how I should have have the colonoscopy I already know I screw up by wait and I have hear a zillion story about how simple the test is I just need to reach out and vent and maybe I will find some sanity leave in I to cope of

hi I know there is plenty of thread about bleeding but mine is a bit different I think I start have bad pain while take a bm back around christmas 05 it was terribly painful and I figure it was a bad hemmorhoid turn out to be an anal fissure I go to an excellent colo rectal surgeon who perform a sphincterotomy but he say it was such a deep fissure it bleed too much and he could not stitch up the incision he make he say this mean it would take much long to heal because it would have to heal on its own I have to take sitz bath for a couple month and have been use a cream and a suppository its now almost 5 month post op and I am not in the kind of pain I was in but it is still sometimes uncomfortable and I have been get blood in my bms and on the paper no free dripping blood or anything like that and it is not every time I go just occasionally anyway I tell the doctor about this during a follow up visit today and he is book I for a colonoscopy I have one 7 year ago and they find diverticulosis but no polyp and no other problem after exame I today he say the fissure is nearly heal but there is a variety of reason for the blood he say he is 99 sure its nothing terrible but I am freak out after read some of the post on this board I do not think I can wait until october the early they can schedule I for the scope I am upset and spend an hour cry already I think I am go to call he tomorrow and see if he can do it soon by the way my family have a history of colon problem include crohns disease and cancer I am 37 and aside from this the only health issue I have are the occasional kidney stone and sleep apnea my condolence to all of you who are suffer through cancer or have a love one suffer from it,neutral,1

prone to nausea from everything I am go between 7 11 time a day regardless anyways since the total colectomy so this is not go to make it well my dad underwent chemo for his lung ca and only have a few side affect and that was at the very end of his treatment this man is on his 5th malignancy I do not think anything is go to kill he he will outlive I he just turn 71 yesterday anywho not try to get off on a rant what do you experience your first time you have chemo I know some say they do not feel anything during it is usually after secondly what are your first complaint usually I know it is a cumculative collateral affect overall so that might be hard to answer job I work for a government contractor I have excellent benefit in that my copay is 10 buck my doc are all in network my surgery was 50k and I only have to pay 20 buck my company pay for std and limit for I and I have been on std since the beg of feb around 2 8 I just recently convert to limited I talk to my hour lady today and she state that they only have to guarantee I a position for 13 week I have been employ there for 4 year I think they at least have to hold my position long than that a few week ago my boss ask I for a position description but state he was not interested in hire anyone but hour want it he tell I to take all the time I need to come in come back I truly help he up to the point of my surgery which was 3 27 I do not want to extend more time than necessary in come back to work because of my benefit we just purchase a new house on 2 17 we have been build this for over a year I was diagnose 2 23 cigna my std and limited carrier have always been pay my employer the amount of my disability they pay my income wage 100 the first 6 wks 70 7 13 week and then limit is 60 begin on 91st day own occupation for 24 month I do not know what that mean do this mean I can be on limited for 2 year anywho cigna send I this packet in the mail and want I to apply for ssd social security disability it is a requirement of their filing for all limit receiptient apparently I am baffle at what to do I do trust my boss and he suggest when I return that I work at home as much as possible in the middle of all of this as I state I work for a government contractor 85 of our local economy is such we get contract for job in lot like 70 employee on one contract for 5 year as an example with my contract it is for 5 year it is 3 employee I my boss and another management guy the contract is up 6 30 06 two thing can happen we could not get it and I could get lay off and have to cobra life insurance and health benefit at 430 per month or we could get it and become a subcontractor which mean I would still work at the company I am at but not for they for a small company have to change health insurance provider and pay twice as much so I am severely worried about a multitude of thing and feel I need to get my a back to work as soon as possible if I have to put chemo on hold I have to if chemo get to the point where it is cause I too much sickness I will stop anyway I have tell they that I do not want to be sick constantly I have see it too much with my mom and what she go through do not get I wrong I have a will to live and I am not negative but for I it is quality over quanity because I am not mentally strong for anything else insurance as luck would have it I have 165k through work in coverage when they have open enrollment last year I up it to 360k our house was 331k we put the contract on it last march and you can only change stuff during open enrollment in dec and since I can not legally marry my partner they equate why you need such monie in large amount if you have no legal spouse or dependent or real estate and we do not have the new house yet so I have to wait for additional form I keep call and call for additional form in january and when they finally send they to I in february I was already diagnose with anemia which lead to can and they would not raise the policy amount of course so now I worry should something happen to I on chemo or not or anything else and so on I do not have enough life coverage have any of you run into this do you know what the wait period is for life term coverage is once you ve have cancer I wonder if it make a difference if it is genetic or not I will have to ask my genetic counselor when I go to see she next week as always you guy are great thank in advance and sorry for the novel,negative,0

hello we have just come from the radiologist office for our initial meeting after the tumor board meet regard my husband cancer he have stage iii t3 n1 m0 after the tumor board meet they recommend only radiation and chemo combine because of varix that were see on his ct scan they tell we that surgery was too risky and not an option they then say there was a 50 50 chance that he would survive the surgery they say the cancer is localize and there is a 30 40 chance radiation can cure it and we get another 10 chance add the chemo about 1990 he have esophageal varix which have he in icu for about 10 day and numerous trip for treatment with rubber band around the bleed vein and sclerotherapy he have have no trouble or treatment since about 1992 we were a little shake up because we assume big mistake I know that the radiation which was to be do because of how close it is to the anus thereby hope to avoid a permanent colostomy and chemo was just to be do before the surgery now they were adament that surgery is not an option because of these varix go into his liver he also have hepatitisc and some psorosis I find it hard to believe that surgery would be completely out of the picture if the radiation chemo for some reason do not take care of this should we be overly concerned just interested to see if anyone have run into anything like this,neutral,1

hi everyone this have been a tough past two week for I mainly because of the uncertainty I have been worry myself to death and I have to wait another week to see a specialist I go to two doctor recently and both just tell I it was probably hemerrhoids without examination I have to take the initiative and call a specialist on my own I am 24 year old and have have the follow symptom about two week ago I begin have blood on my toilet paper none on stool along with a sharp pain on the rectum when the stool first come out I just think it was because of a tear or hemorrhoid the bleeding last about 4 5 day but then I begin to have other symptom which begin to worry I first and foremost were the thinness of my stool for a few day it was really thin about half an inch round the stool was loose so a few minute in the toilet the stool begin to loose shape I begin to up my fiber intake and then my stool begin to bulk up a little but they were still a bit thin about an inch tall and about three quarter of an inch thick sorry for the specific I also begin to have a dull ache on the left buttock not right at the anus but more diffused not really painful or bothersome but it was noticeable that s pretty much go now but another thing that s been bother I is low back ache its sometimes in the middle and sometimes more on the left side its only occasional when I sit in a particular way or when I am stand for long period of time its get a little bit well the past few day I go to the bathroom regularly every morning no abdominal pain and no consitpation nor diarrhea I notice flatter stool once before last year but the stool go back to regular shape after a few week I am not sure how long it take or what I do to make it go away I might have take laxative I have have two fecal occult blood exam do over the past eight month for other reason not at all relate to cancer and both come back negative my last blood result have normal blood count I have basically read everything I could online and I know the blood and thin stool can be a sign of cancer I know that its unlikely for someone my age to have colon cancer but from read post here and on other site it definitely do occur I have no history of cancer in my family so now that I have write this book I just have a few question do these symptom apply to you when you were diagnose do anyone else have low back pain that was directly relate to the colon cancer I read on one site that low back pain could be the cancer metastisizing to the bone if so was it constant or positional and how painful if my thin stool happen before and then return to normal could this mean it might be a different disorder like ibs if it turn out to be cancer would these symtom be suggestive of advanced stage iii stage iv cancer I am terrify right now I have kidney failure when I was 21 and just have a transplant 6 month ago because of immunosuppresant I am not sure how chemo or radiation would work for I I would probably have to lose the kidney I do not know if I could take have kidney failure and cancer at the same time I just want some answer but I guess I have to wait until next monday thank for any advice answer and so on I really appreciate it and I am glad I find this board tom,negative,0

female 64 here I have never have a colonoscopy and would prefer to delay do so as long as I can unless there are symptom which really should be check immediately I have have diarrhea for over three month after about a week I go to the doctor have five different test do from stool sample all come back negative except for yeast I was on medication for that I think it was nystatin for four week another stool test then come back negative for yeast but I still have diarrhea I have gradually become a near vegetarian over the past year or so and am very suspicious that I may have develop food intolerance I do not have previously and that that is the source of the diarrhea I have start a food diary and am suspicious of certain food wild rice and bean in particular but it may take some time to find out for sure that food intolerance is the total problem as it is possible that other food also might be a problem to really know for sure what is give I problem I should probably do an elimination diet start with only a few thing like the brat diet and add only one new food every couple of day but that is likely to take a month or long to solve this problem sooooooooooo could my symptom of a stool which range from watery to loose to semi form be a symptom of bowel cancer or something else really serious that should not wait to have check out if I do a brat diet for several day would that eliminate the possibity of cancer if the diarrhea go away on it I would like to avoid have a colonoscopy if I can and I know that is what the doctor will suggest if I go back at this point but I probably should not wait another month if the symptom could be something serious either,neutral,1

hi everyone well we are play the wait game like so many people at this stage have to do my dad have 5 day of bleed from his rectum so they get he in for a colonoscopy right away they remove a polyp that was I believe 15 mm do that sound right could not have been 15 cm could it do they usually measure by mm or sm also another small one dr say that as the size of polyp go this was a big one they have to wait a few day before they could the colonoscopy due to the fact he just have his pacemaker replace a month agao and is on blood thinner they take he off of the blood thinner and it take an unusually high number of bag of plasma and two vitamin k shot to thicken his blood up enough to do the procedure they were very surpirse at that could that mean anemic they say they will have the result back sometime next tuesday and he should stay of the blood thinner until that time okay so with such a big polyp take out and the fact that he have the bleeding are those most likely bad sign thank everyone and good health to all,neutral,1
dh want to drive himself to the gi clinic on monday morning 6 00 before midday and have I pick he up the reason for that is we have school aged child who catch the bus early in the morning I do not want to do this for a host of reason my big concern is that he will be wipe out from the cleansing process on sunday and perhaps not in proper condition to drive with all of the snow and that is around here I think all driver need to be on top of their game so to speak we have the option of let the kid sleep at their grandparent on sunday night and my dad would gladly drive they to school dh is not for this because he feel it would be disrputive for the kid even though they have sleep there plenty of time I think he just do not want to make the procedure a big deal obviously the kid do not know anything do you think he should drive himself would he really feel up for it amm8589,negative,0

we get the news today that dhs colonoscopy will be on monday I am so glad they schedule it quickly the letter say they would let we know the result right after the procedure which is schedule for 7 00 before midday question is it possible that they would know whether or not they find cancer without do a biopsy under what circumstance would that occur I am so glad I find this board will keep you update amy,neutral,1

I know this sound like I am about to sell you something but I am not I am fulfil a promise I make to myself a while ago when I first make an appointment to have a full colonoscopy my history my uncle have die of colon cancer in 2001 while in his late 60 and my father succumb to lung cancer just last year 2004 at 71 my mother have a history of colon polyp and I mean so much that her examiner call she a polyp factory I have start to notice that my stool were diminish in diameter no blood no other symptom sometimes flatten sometimes pencil thin my diet is quite varied healthy and rich in fiber at 62 and 190lb I am in good physical shape I am 46 year old I was shock that when I go to my family doctor with my concern and she tell I to go straight for a full colonoscopy she do not recommend as I expect a first line fecal blood exam or sigmoidoscope she do not offer much in term of comfort on what else it could be but colon cancer give my family history I now have reason to be worried and I make my appointment immediately that was nearly a month ago I was depressed and search on the internet only depress I more if you do any sort of a search on thin or flat stool they point you straight to colon cancer the search term flat thin lead straight to calamity if you are read this you may have the same symptom and unless you are a complete have already decide to make an appointment to get yourself check out properly if you have make this decision then good for you you may also be scare out of your mind do not be if you have not make this decision then continue to worry and be uncertain so here what you probably want to know I just come back from my colonoscopy and I sail through it with fly colour it was fast do not require any sedation I would rate the discomfort equivalent to a short about of diarrhea there was a flash of pain as the doctor go for the last corner before the finish line however that last little sore spot was worth it because I get a full colonoscopy and a full proper view of everything next to I in the wiate area was a 52 year old guy who was come for a follow up exam three year after his cancer surgery judge by his slim healthy appearance I would say that he have a succesful surgery and judging by his tight jean I would guess that he do not have a colostomy bag he would have been 49 for his surgery three year old than I I do not know whether the surgery was to remove a benign polyp or a pre cancerous one or a malignancy so here what I have to tell you from my experience if you have reason to be concern act on it if your profile is somewhat like mine you probably have nothing dangerous but to ignore it is stupid onc again if you ve make the appointment relax if you have not make the appointment then continue to be scared and uncertain until you do make an appointment then you can relax in my case it turn out to be nothing I am fine chance are you are fine too stop being scared just take comfort that you are not do something stupid and dangerous like ignore a possible early warning sign by the way the night before my examination and as a tribute to my recently deceased dad who always want I to have a kid I decide to go to the foster parent plan web site url http www fosterparentsplan ca url and adopt a little girl in bangladesh I ask for the girl who have been on the waiting list the long adoption mean a continuous 30 40 month sponsorship donation for the child I would say that give the result today this little girl whoever she is is now my guardian angel in case you could use your own real live guardian angel you might want to try the same thing it seem to work for I good luck,negative,0

well go to my gp and share my concern over my bowel change and the article I read about hnpcc and fordyce granule white bump in mouth he check my stool for blood and say there was some but not much he agree that I should get a colonoscopy so I have to go to a specialist for that he was very positive and supportive 1 is it normal for I to bleed more after the rectal exam and could that be a good sign such as maybe there is a fissure or tear near the rectum 2 if my father is the only one that I can find on my father or mother side that have colon cancer and his was at age 68 do not mean that if this is colon cancer it is probably not of the hnpcc variety 3 is stomach rumble and gas sound a sign of cc or more like my nerve 4 how common is itfor some at 37 to have colon cancer I know people on here are young than I but in the general population is not it uncommon to get cc this early since most everyone is on this board because of cancer and not because of other reason it may be hard to ask this but do anyone have any hope to share with a 37 year old father of 2 I am scared to death and need some encouragement coach,negative,0

in early 2002 I go to the emergency room with pain in my low left side of my back they send I home with pain killer not know what was cause the pain fast forward to 2003 I would been have uncofterable minor pain on the left side of my stomach right around the large part of the colon and the kidney I live with my parent and I am 22 I am currently on disability for a disorder call social anxiety I rely heavily on my parent to help I get doctor appointment and and so on I would tell my mom about these pain I was have in my side and she think it was from drink too much caffeine so I go through period where all I would drink was water and then I feel well so I switch back to pop since I prefer it over water I know something was abnormal when I could not lay on the left side of my stomach like I usually do when watch tv without feel like I was lay on something something that was cause minor pain after all these year of have the pain and no other symptom in june of this year 2005 I have another case of low left side back pain exactly how it was in 2002 when they give I pain killer this time we think it might be kidney or bladder relate and I take a sample of urine to my doctor for it to be test he call back and say it come up clean without any problem I hold off go to the doctor for a couple of week during those week I have severe constipation and my rectal area was sore to the point I have blood on the toilet paper from strain try to get the stool out this was the first time I ever really pay attention to what my bowel movement look like because up until this point I never have any problem in that area what I was able to get out was very small and thin in size and the toilet paper was sometimes bright red I start look on the internet and type in my symptom I was feel very bloated and gassy alot in addition I look these up do a google search and I find my symptom were all in the valid category as colon cancer I freak out and schedule an appointment with my family doctor and he say I should give it a few week and see he again for another checkup he tell I to excersize drink plenty of water and try metamucal along with some fiber relate cerial I get a pack of the powdered metamucal and mix it with my drink twice a day I should also mention that before my problem start occur I sleep in the day from 8 am to 3 or 4 pm instead of sleep at night I would been do this for several year after I graduate high school and the problem was serious enough to make I change my schedule to the opposite and I am currently up in the day and asleep at night for the first time in 4 year after I start take the metamucal I have bad cramping and diareiah constant and I also notice sometimes it was mucus like but it go away after the first week of take the metamucal make I think that could of been the cause I would wake up in the morning with a stomach ache and feel very gassy I go back to my doctor and he tell I that metamucal have that effect on people I tell he my fear of my problem being colon cancer and he proceed to tell I he would be famous if I have it because it is very rare that a 22 year old would have it he tell I he know it would not stop I from worry so he schedule a colonoscopy with a specialist for july 19th it is now july 6th as I write this and nothing have improve really in fact I am notice my stool is thin and is almost to the point of being paper thin today it was long and curvy thin I call the specialist and his secretary inform I he is on vacation until the 19th and that is the reason I can not get in until then so now I have to wait for the appointment worry if it is colon cancer I have and if that is what it is it could be advance to the point of make my stool thin I should also mention I have ocd and I worry and obsess over thing like this enough as it is I have talk to my parent about my problem to the point that they do not want to hear anything about I possibly have colon cancer anymore in fact it is as if they do not care about my well being as cruel as that sound if I have colon cancer would not I be in severe pain and die I am not loose weight because I eat at all the right time of the day breakfast lunch dinner and something quick before bed and drink alot my dad work with someone who have colon cancer and his was detect in the advanced stage and he have surgery chemo and now it is in remission and he is already back to work I am too young to die and I feel I have alot of thing I still want to do in my life I have only been alive 22 year and it seem very unfair that anyone my age could get this I force myself to stop look up message forum where people the same age as I are tell story of how they get it or know someone who have it because all it do is add fuel to my worry and I get very depressed over it my doctor say it could be diverticulit irritable bowel syndrome chrone or a number of other thing but is not doctor job to rule out the bad case scenario I look up all of these thing and I can check all the symptom off as have they except for thin and narrow stool because it is not show as a symptom on those list the only place I have find it as a symptom is on colon cancer list that is what s scare I the most right now I have never been a religious person but I find myself pray for the first time since I was a kid and attend wednesday night religion class I hope I am ok and it is something less serious then what I think it is thank you brian,negative,0

hello I have been contemplate have my first colonoscopy feel fine it is just time but while read through the archive I have find that people who have lung disorder or lung disease can not be sedate is this true and why is that needless to say that scare I more than anything as I have asthma diagnose three year ago at age 49 and they also see sign of emphezema on the x ray explain that it probably start year ago when I smoke but I quit almost 20 year ago so it have not progress still small area were note along with the asthma and because of these thing I am worry now about any kind of sedation can someone explain this a little well for I and if this is something that should be of concern to I have this test is problematic for I anyway as I am on a blood thin and am wonder now if have a sigmoidoscopy instead would be well for I along with a fobt I have a sigmoidoscopy about 25 year ago when I was diagnose with ibs and it was not something I could not do again I have talk with my colon doctor and also my hemotologist and they both agree that I have problem to work around that normal people do not have and both are willing to do what is most comfortable for I and safe now the blood thing we can work with but now that I have read about sedation not being safe for people with lung disorder I am understandably worried about that now any help would be greatly appreciate,neutral,1

there are some discussion on the bowel board that nobody seem to know the answer to maybe someone on here do if you have blood in your stool would it seep out into the water or stay in the stool and if it seep out into the water would it be noticeably red or would not you be able to tell what it was some people have mention that at time they will have a piece of stool that discolor the water around it look as if the stool is disintegrate and it is been suggest that it is probably from loose form stool and is nothing to worry about so is this to mean that if it was blood it would be obvious or would not blood in stool work that way where it swirl around the stool sorry to be so graphic but as you can see this is an odd question to ask a doctor and nobody on the other board seem to know the answer to this or experience it I think maybe someone on here may be able to thank you ahead of time,neutral,1

hi everyone I am new here and I have a couple of question I have colon cancer surgery in jan 2000 and I was due for my 5 year followup colonoscopy this summer I have a blood workup last week and my cea was 171 so they are rapidly schedule test to see what is go on I have a colonoscopy schedule for friday 5 27 and I am begin the prep today with clear liquid yes two day of prep I also am schedule for a cat scan next week I absolutely can not tolerate fleet or cholyte I vomit as soon as it hit my mouth the salt taste is what trigger the reaction I am not even able to swallow it I have try mix the fleet with any number of fluid all with the same result I have two bad bowel prep previously due to this I tell my doc this yesterday and we agree that visicol might work well for I however he want I to take a bottle of mag citrate this evening with the visicol prep being do tomorrow afternoon evening the problem is now that I have the bottle of mag citrate in my hand I see that it is a saline prep and I am worried that I will have the same reaction as I do with the other prep do it taste similar to fleet or cholyte or is it not as strong or as salty tasting are there any alternative I also have to pick up a package of dulcolax for the end of the second visicol dose I am wonder if that would possibly substitute for the mag citrate I guess the doc want the mag citrate dose to do an initial cleansing so that the visicol can work as well as possible needless to say I am kinda nervous and work up by this for I take the prep fluid was always the absolute bad part of the whole procedure and now I am go through the same angst and fear again I am just not sure I can get the mag citrate down the other thing is what do a cea of 171 mean the doc are basically say it could be an indicator of cancer but they need to do all the test to check everything out I just seem when they talk that there is more go on than what they are say I have been ill for the first three month of the year with it being basically undiagnosed I have rapid weight loss to the tune of 60lb up to now and I am so weak it is not funny I change doc and after the first visit last week there is now a flurry of activity where before my concern were answer with yes well have to look into that or I really do not know what is wrong with you thank in advance for any advice you can give tom,neutral,1
dear all my father who is now inoperable stage iv still unsure whether colorectal or upper gi in origin unable to biopsy esophageal mass due to proximity to his heart have been use morphine for at least four month at one time he was being over prescribe pcp and oncologist respectively prescribe patch and twice daily pill equal the same dosage of morphine and he was use both I notice the problem immediately and notify doctor who immediately advise he to stop the patch still he have been use time release pill twice a day and take swig out of his bottle of liquid morphine at will it seem rather than for breakthrough pain as is prescribe lately brother and I have receive urgent email from his wonderful local friend who visit daily say dad rarely get out of bed is often incoherent and skin is gray and still complain of pain we arrange for a nurse to visit daily with a request for medicine education as well as take his vital due to his incoherence and complaint and inability to communicate either cry or not able to remember the detail of his last exam and so on we are afraid something else is fail liver kidney which would delay or cease his chemo treatment 2nd appt is this tuesday we are also afraid that all of our insistence on have my dad monitor more regularly will scare the oncologist from move forward with his treatment 5fu irinotecan and avastin any advice out there on pain management or assist with guidance on how to persuade my dad that he should try to use his morphine on an as need basis rather than stick with what he call his regime pill before bed pill in morning and then swig out of liquid morphine bottle we realize morphine is so addictive can cause severe constipation and abdominal cramping as well as fluid retention he already is have severe recurrent acite it seem he is in a catch 22 more like catch 33 with this addiction problem relieve the pain but cause symptom require relief of pain as his rectal tumor is very large he have such a hard time evacuate stool I can understand his pain is so great but if he continue to be a non participant in his fight what else are we to do well see he this weekend and hopefully with help of nurse advice will try to talk to he about what is really go on sorry for what must be the long post of the month I type fast than I can think so have tendency to ramble hug to all seattledaughter,negative,0

I use to tell people that would ask I if cancer can be find through bloodwork that the answer was most likely not however last night I was dig around and find out that there are blood test that can at least give some indication of cancer call tumor marker one of these ironically enough was the subject of alison hamilton recent post conrat on the hubby alison and that s cae despite the risk of false positive I have no earthly clue why at least the cae test is not use more frequently it frustrate I because over the past year of symptom that is have and the fact I m get bad plus the fact that that is probably have blood draw now at least 6 time maybe more order a cae would have been a simple enough thing to do is the reasoning that if the cae is elevate to the point its of concern the tumor would be advance enough to be detectable by other method or what I might ask my gp if we can get one of these do its not like its hard to do at the very least it can be use to provide some peace of mind in a situation like mine where I can not eliminate any possibility because I just do not know,neutral,1

stuff I have read say this is very rare but very poor survival rate melanoma was excise from forearm with sentinal node biopsy normal 2 1 2 year ago 3 month follow up since several shave biopsy all normal pet scan annually since first pet was normal second pet last oct show activity not believe to be malignant near intersection of small and large intestine f you pet scan 2 week ago show more activity and prompt we to find out for sure what it is stool are normal so the fear is that the activity is on the outside wall of the bowel next step may be to swallow a camera to confirm that the activity is not inside the colon regardless the follow step may be to cut out part of the colon remove the effect tissue and biopsy it anybody have experience with melanoma spread to colon in this way anybdy ever have the camera endoscpoy test thank,neutral,1

hi my main question is do an abdominal ct scan detect colon cancer I get the impression that with negative ct result I am clear but keep see that colonoscopy and sigmoidoscopy are use for diagnosis so a little confused for background in case anyone have other suggestion especially for pain alleviation I go to a gi after have 4 month of constant llq pain vary in intensity but always there that sometimes radiate to my groin not crampy feel like a nerve is being press on or something also have change in bowel habit like 1 in 2 day and then 7 in one day sort of random and either thin small or what look like lump of small stool stick together in a large piece they use to be very normal looking also have frequent brown mucus in stool that I do not before I have a decent amt of bright blood 6 month ago but think it was a fissure and have not have any since and not anemic my fiber is up to 30 mg day but it do not alleviate the pain though maybe affected bms I have a transvaginal ultrasound that show a normal left ovary too the only thing I really want is to get rid of this pain pain reliever do not help and it is always there and start to drive I nut the gi give I zelnorm but that is more problematic than the pain and do not help either thank haley,neutral,1
my result from my ct scan come back normal yesterday I have been rejoice non stop over this while I feel as if I have everything to be thankful for I remain in constant discomfort my thought was that anything horrible would show up in the ct scan am I wrong about this I feel that you all on this message board are more straightforward with your knowledge and I am very thankful for each morsel of wisdom and advice I have read on here please in your opinion should I feel as if I have been give a green light my pain could possibly be from scar tissue from a previous surgery my fatigue could be due to the fact that I am a 42 year old mom of 4 young kid I have been so very active all of my life that perhaps get old is catch up with I and I can deal with that I have always been very much into health and stay fit now I feel like an 80 year old woman my quesition is could a colonscopy show something that the ct scan do not I was think that the ct scan was the top notch thing to do that would reveal the most truth about what was go on in there my doctor appt to discuss the next move is a couple week away meanwhile I am still in pain any advice thank a million,negative,0

hi I am just write because I have some weird symptom and would like somebody who know about these thing to look at my history for the record I am female and currently 22 I have always have stomach ache for as long as I can remember when I was 14 I become profoundly ill and was in bed for over a month and waste away lose 40 pound the pain was unbelievable and it come on suddenly I believe it was some sort of internal infection due to the incredible pain and I am no wuss and the length of it I become very sick was semi conscious and feverish through much of it my stomach was rigid and board like I believe now that it was the result of being severely beat up about a week previous kick in the back and abdoman quite a few time and so on my back and black were neck anyway I just add this in case it may be significant kidney when I was 18 I begin notice that my stool were thin than normal and seem squashed but were not pencil thin maybe half the normal size I also notice a bulge in my rectum and I start bleed about this time it take 2 year for I to work up the nerve to see a doctor these thing ick I out I was diagnose with ulcerative colitis and start on asacol the bulge in my rectum was not comment on or notice so I assume it was normal my gastroeneterologist contiually ask I about my diarrheah but I rarely suffer from diarrhead only with the flu anyway I take the asacol for several month but it do not help with the cramp the swollen stomach or the bleeding I ask my family doctor if I could stop it because it was not do anything and his attitude was sure why not so I stop asacol I have been bleed ever since sometimes the toilet water is red but I have been ignore it because I have been check out and give something that do not work plus the doctor know I am still bleed and do not seem concerned I am anemic due to this constant bleeding my stool have gradually become really small and squashed looking and they come out in little chunk tiny piece sorry if this is gross cover in blood and mucus my stomach have also been considerably swollen lately and feel bloat all the time I feel inside because it was ache and I can feel a very prominent bulge of tissue it is like the old bulge but close to the opening I doubt it is a hemmorhoid because of it is size it feel to be at least as big as a large grape probably more golf ball size and if I push on it it is pretty hard and firm but bleed slightly I can push it higher into my rectum of I try but that ache and make I feel nauseaus also lately I have lose my appetite even when I finally get hunger pang from not eat I have they now I do not desire to eat just not have the pang what could that lump be I was wonder could the bowel have a pocket or something so that fece on the other side build up and make it feel like a part of the bowel itself is a lump it tend to move up and down in there a little but not more than an inch and the lump do not go away but would not a doctor have notice it a couple year ago grant it was not prominent then but a colonoscopy could not have miss it I have also been become more and more tired for the last little while but I am never horribly anemc just minor apparently and they usually just tell I I am depress I am also bipolar however it do not feel like depression fatigue it feel like exhaustion I get out of breath terribly easily in the last year or so it is been on the decline for about 5 year and gasp just go up one flight of stair make I gasp so much I feel like I must have asthma I feel weak and tire a lot too my grandma have colon cancer and I think my grandpa do as well ibd run on both my mom and dad side what do this sound like what could that lump possibly be I think it is much too large for a hemmhorid but if it was a tumor would not they have find it 2 year ago do it sound serious I do not want to submit to a dre exam again if it do not sound like something but I also do not want to be a hypochondriac can you think of any grape or large sized mass in the rectum that can be push up will bleed if moderate pressure is place on it and feel like it is block the anus would not cancer or something like that at my age be incredibly rare a little while ago I have kidney and pelvic ultrasound for flank pain and they my kidney look clean I was diagnose with a small cyst on one of my ovaire but nothing was suggest for it so I assume it was benign tired of these weird symptom I hope I do not come off as a hypochondriac because really I tend to ignore thing until I can not anymore but I am curious about this thank,negative,0

I go to a rectal doctor on monday for a concern I have that turn out to be nothing but in talk with he about colonoscopy we realize we have a problem or rather I do and I am not sure what to do about it I am on coumadin blood thin for a clotting disorder have been for 25 year and have a virtual colonoscopy last year so I would not have to go off of it well in talk with the colon doctor monday I say I really want to have a regular one next time and say I was aware I would have to go off the coumadin 3 4 day beforehand no big deal I have have two minor surgurie in the past and have to stop it then too I just go back on it immediately afterwards my alarm was evident though when he say and if I remove any polyp I will have to keep you off of it for about 10 day because of the bleeding I am sure the color drain from my face and I say I can not do that he explain that he have other patient who are on it and say that of course he have to take they off of it if he do surgery he have no choice but my belief is if he is do colon surgery on these people chance are they are also old if they are on a blood thin and many of they are probably take it for heart condition not a clotting disorder my chance of get a clot while off of it is very scary to I and I am just completely lose as to what to do I really do not give it alot of thought at first as I was just relieve to find out my original problem was nothing but the more I think about it the more concerned I become as eventually I am go to have to decide what to do my question is have anyone else on here have a similar problem and if so what do you do I think if I was young I probably would not worry as much about being off of it but because I am a little old now 52 chance of stroke and the like start become a little risky as it do for everybody when they age I know I can talk with my blood doctor but what I am ask all of you is if anyone else have have a similar problem and how you deal with it thank so much,negative,0

I am not sure what to think because I go to the doctor today because I though I was just have complication from have my gall bladder remove about a year and a half ago and he say to get a colonoscopy I am 31 with no real history of colon cancer in my family except my half brother which is just 19 have 2 cancerous pollup remove just recently and I have learn that my grandfather on my mother side have a couple remove but he was about 70 and is still live at age 89 when I go to the doctor I was tell he if feel something like a kicking feeling at time and just weird sound and feeling were go on where my gall bladder was but with no pain I also tell he at time I have blood in my stool sometimes a lot and sometimes a little and yet none at all at time for the past month no constipation and no diahrea but stool were never always the same some can be hard other can be soft the soft one I usually do not see blood I guess he think get a colonoscopy is the only thing he come up with since he was concerned that my brother have cancer at such an early age and bleed in my stool I do not seem to have a lot of the symptom of colon cancer like thin pencil like stool and such but some pain in the low abdoman at time which I think is gas my opinion I tell he is it was probably hemmeroid or anal fissure yet he never check but then again I am not a doctor do anyone think I should really have a colonoscopy or should I have it do and the bad thing they would tell I is I have hemmoroid with a healthy colon,negative,0

long story short two lung nodule notice on mom ct scan doc do pet scan to evaluate pet scan turn up negative for lung nodule although they are small so who know but the scan do light up in the right pelvis area and leave neck area doctor order more ct scan for abdominal neck and chest area he say he is look for colon cancer in pelvis and leave node in neck he feel around the neck area and pelvis and do not feel any lump or inflame area she have a stool test in april which was negative but have not have a colonoscopy so I am interpret this as mean that she have colon cancer and it spread to the lymph node if so what stage would this be is this still consider early or because it have spread is it consider late stage I am try to think positive but since the pet scan light up there is not much else it could be if it were just in one area I could hope it was just an infection but it is light up in two area which make it more suspicious do not you think if it is in a late stage what can be do,neutral,1

first I want to preface this message by say I believe everyone should see a doctor if they see any suspicious symptom every situation is unique and just because I have good news to report do not mean that the same exact symptom would not mean a more serious problem exist the reason I am write I even register just to post this message is because a lot of people post question comment relate to flat stool in fact a google search on flat stool seem to lead to this board more than anywhere else of course someone with flat stool will be frighten out of their wit well I am here to report that I am a 32 yr old that have experience flat stool for the first time in my life in the last 6 9 month and I just have a full colonoscopy and I have nothing more than small internal hemorroid when I finally muster the courage to see my doctor and get the gi referral I was inform by the gi that I seem in perfectly good health but a colonoscopy would be good just to make sure I am a total wuss and have never been put under even though it was not technically general anesthesia it still scare I because of the iv and that was no big deal at all in the end the procedure was easy as pie the sedation process was very very comfortable not sudden like being put into a deep comfortable sleep and you wake up feel well rest not remember a thing I highly highly recommend anyone with flatten stool to get it check out the bad case scenario is that you will get a colonoscopy and it really was a painless procedure you ll feel so much well know everything is ok and if they do find something you are much well off know when your only syptom is a change in bowel habit and not more progress symptom when it will be hard to cure you,neutral,1

even in er no gallstone cyst enlargement nothing it was a shot in the dark for he to go that route but what a good call oh my god and it was go bad for year from my first gerd diagnosis I have been live without it is function for who know how long nobody ever mention it as possibly being the cause of anything the surgical removal of the gallbladder is call cholecystectomy koh luh sis tek tuh I mine was able to be do by laparoscopy though I agree to full incision if necessary I have 4 hole hold close by adhesive steri strip right now no stitch or staple I can shower I was in the hospital 5 day home in bed with antibiotic and pain med 3 day bf a I today 12 day later as I write this I feel like a million buck all that inflammation is go after so many year the puffy face finger and toe now normal my eczema clear up my stuffy sinus gerd post nasal drip swollen neck and throat all normal even my tortuous tinnitus is well not completely but noticeably calm I am even think I can wean off the omeprazole finally well see so my message to you all is consider the gallbladder as a culprit push your doctor to check it if you re at the end of your rope do not just keep go for all the home remedy and supplement while still suffer the doctor can test and tell what vitamin you are lack it do not help to flood your body without a reference base on something you read online even if the suffering is not severe but you have multiple symptom the gallbladder must be a consideration there is only one way for they to check it and that is through a mild but surgical procedure which is probably why they never check but they must get their eye on it the procedure not sure the name of it should be perform on everyone in my opinion what they do is put you to sleep then fill your stomach with gas and make like an opera house then with camera light and so on they can go in and check all or most of your organ gallbladder spleen liver pancrea outer area of stomach bowel diaphragm right kidney maybe leave too not sure these were all mention in my paperwork there is so many thing that can only be detect diagnose and treat this way and this way only that is my story let I just add this side story dec 14 2020 my athletic healthy father in law notice blood in his urine other than chronic back pain it was his first sign something was wrong he go to the doctor he have undetecte liver cancer which metastasize to his bladder only when the bladder show its symptom then do they look he die 10 day later on the 24th the day before christmas have they do this procedure they would have see the silent killer and maybe been able to treat it why is not it a priority they check everything else anyway consider it push for it get it check,neutral,1

a few week ago I find this article animal protein and the cancer promoter igf 1 https nutritionfact org 2013 02 14 animal protein and igf 1 where were explain that the structure of animal protein is easy to metabolize and it make the body to create more igf 1 it also establish the association between this hormone and cancer so the conclusion we end up with is we should avoid animal product in order to avoid cancer but it feel weird for I to hear so I keep research I hear that process meat and red meat are very associate with some cancer so I think maybe they have more animal protein and that is the link but in the article red meat vs white meat which is healthy it is present that red and white meat have a similar amount of protein not only we can read this but also the difference between these two kind of meat mainly myoglobin and iron I have not find any relationship between myoglobin iron and cancer so I keep research and I have just read this what do it do in the body and do it really cause cancer in this article it is say some people claim that igf 1 cause the growth of cancer because as a growth hormone its primary function is to make thing grow but the accusation is unfounded yes study have find an association between very high level of igf 1 and some type of cancer but no study have prove that igf 1 is the actual cause of the cancer xv many expert now agree igf 1 is not the cause of cancer but a consequence of it high igf 1 can indicate the presence of an undetected tumor and the high igf 1 level find in cancer patient is likely cause because the tumor is secrete igf 1 xvi xvii another explanation for the igf 1 cancer link is that igf 1 play a prominent role in the regulation of immunity and inflammation and the body may increase igf 1 level in response to the immunosuppression and inflammation that cancer cause xviii also worth note is the fact that high igf 1 level are associate with less invasive type of breast cancer in woman and low igf 1 is link to uterine cancer xix but they also include dairy and meat boost igf 1 level but we urge you not to consume animal product for this purpose omnivore have a much high risk for cancer and most other deadly chronic disease xx consume a whole food plant base diet that is void of process oil and package food is the absolute good way to boost your health and protect yourself from cancer you can safely increase your igf 1 level with plant base amino acid and soy is one of the most powerful vegan igf 1 booster I would like to have some explanation about this last paragraph because I do not know why they urge we not to consume animal product I am vegan so I do not eat animal product but I want to learn about nutrition so what is happen in real life with cancer,neutral,1

hello I want to reach out on some health concern I have been have for the past two three week which have spiral into something that s become the forefront of my mind every single day I just want to go back to normal I am a 38 year old male 64 a bit large in frame but I like to ride my bike a number of mile each week and stay active with my family full disclaimer this past few week have been a ride for I physically and mentally this might be a long wind post I am verbose in hope that someone else out there might have some thought or similar experience that might help I with my puzzle I am not sure if there are any piece that could have contribute to my current state another disclaimer I am aware I have health anxiety specifically mean if I know there is something potentially wrong with my body and its unknown I tend to stress pretty hard until either thing resolve or I get some answer treatment if all is fine with my body I am fine I am normal my anxiety is non existent life is good to begin my health other than the occasional stress and shift into a new position at work all seem to be fine just prior to the end of may 2019 everything was well and all seemingly normal which is where I want to get back to the last week of may 2019 my wife while help with a haircut spot a new and odd look mole on my back under my right shoulder blade it look hideous since it was late at night I call and make an appt with the doctor as soon as I get to work the very next morning may 29th the only opening available was friday may 31st have this delay worry I I end up call another dr I have visit prior for and he have an opening the on thur may 30th come may 30th at the doc appt the dr move quick he take a look at the mole and say it definitely look suspicious can we do a punch biopsy to which I reply yes because I want this thing off my body during the punch biopsy the dr numb the mole take a round chunk of tissue and stitch it up they show I the mole and I start get cold sweaty and nauseate I feel as though I was go to pass out I was able to power through it the nurse give I some water and I was fine I was tell to take ibuprofen as need for pain now come into the weekend that friday saturday and sunday I fret heavily about the result of this mole biopsy I was guilty of google thing which help none on that saturday june 1 I take some ibuprofen as my mole removal site have been tender my wife and I attend a wedding reception within a family member backyard it was cater with various dish such as thai food smoke brisket and so on there were some friend of family that roast a pig for the event while attend this event my spirit were down as I could not shake the dread of the forthcoming mole biopsy result I try hard to be happy but I was really sad thinking it could be the bad we leave the event and other than being bum out and anxious I was fine digestive system wise the next day sunday june 2 get up early and take the wife kid to a the store follow by a trip to grab some breakfast at burger king I have a breakfast croissant and bfast burrito the burrito seem a little gross but I eat the thing anyways after this less than stellar trip to bk I take the family to the movie to see new aladdin have sprite and popcorn is all that sunday evening we bbqd hamburger and have store buy macaroni and potato salad I have find a tender lump on the center of my back just left of the spine it was sore and I was remind of it everytime I sit back this was yet another anxiety trigger as I think maybe the mole biopsy might have have bacteria that activate a lymph node or bad it could be a malignant thing relate to mole this is where my mind was add to my ever increase anxiety that sunday night while in bed seem to be the starting point to my digestive woe as I try to sleep my entire abdoman churn and groan very loudly my stomach hurt all night and through the morning my abdoman was loud and achy that monday june 3 I awake to terrible diarrhea pure yellow liquid I have go probably 10 time that day I make an appt with my dr and I was able to get in the same day I explain the concern I have for the tender bump on my back and my gi issue he tell I by the way we get result for your mole it was benign I feel a huge weight of relief however I still have this bump on my back and gi problem he say the gi stuff could just be a bug and should be go in a couple day the bump on my back was a harmless lipoma and that I was fine you re go to live it was obvious I was really anxious I continue ask question so he say let get some blood test they then take a bunch of blood for a cbc and metabolic panel that tuesday june 4th I wake in the middle of the night with diarrhea and overall stomach pain and cramp all over also still have tender lump on back once again I google this suppose lipoma and learn there is such a thing as a sarcoma as you can imagine this cause more anxiety I also was able to see my blood test result they seem fine with the exception of two item lymph 17 2 with normal being 18 45 neut auto 75 1 with normal range being 42 72 of course I google this and find result elude these off result in correlation with a c word disease I make another doc appt which I was able to get into same day while in this doc appt I am assure that these off result are fine thing shift all of the time and this was just a glimpse when these were off I was tell could have been relate to an infection or stress the stress anxiety I am certain of I continue to mention my gi issue and the concern for the bump on my back because of my diarrhea and abdominal issue I have not been able to eat very well afraid to eat anything bad the doc schedule a ct scan of my pelvis and abdomen and a stool sample fast forward a few day I have my ct scan and my stool sample have been review I was able to see that my ct scan have been review by radiologist and I was able to see the report once again there were some concern thing here my stool sample was negative for giardia no salmonella shigella or campylobacter isolated and no plesiomona aeromonas or vibrio isolated I was really hope that some bug would be find so we could treat it and I could move on on to the ct finding I was concerned with what I see with the report I call my dr office for my doc interpretation basically there were incidental finding but nothing require any concern or followup within the same call I make an appt with my doc to discuss these finding which were finding there is no marker device localize a mass no discernible lump or mass appreciate posteriorly low chest small pleural base the density see along the major fissure on the left measure 5 mm in size liver 4 mm hypodense lesion in the right hepatic lobe there is a 4 mm hypodensity in the subcutaneous capsular location of

I and say they were fine these thing are find all the time in adult around my age and its common no issue need to be follow up on I still feel very uneasy I feel as though he think I am a hypochondriac and he downplay any of my concern with these result on my ct it seem like we might explore thing far but he say its a waste of money and that I am fine I leave the doc appt anxious and nervous the next day I receive a call from the gi doc office to schedule egd and colonoscopy the soon they could schedule my appt was 2 week out on june 24th fast forward to june 10th I return to the docs office to get the stitch remove from the mole that was remove I express that my gi issue have persist I have have yellow stool with ton of mucous sometimes have to go once or twice a day but also wake up in the middle of the night have to go he say we d wait and see what the gi procedure would find throughout this ordeal I have lose 13lbs in 2 week from not eat I have anxiety every time I go to the bathroom now because I just want a normal stool but its always yellow loose or liquid and mucousy there are time where I am convinced that I have pancreatic or colon or liver cancer I have end up have to take half a xanax from an old prescription I have hang on to which have calm my anxiousness as it is now I have been go day by day stick to bland food like rice cracker water toast bread and so on I have even buy some ensure to make sure I get more calorie as I have only been get 5 700 calorie a day my stomach intestine do not quite hurt as bad as they do but I continue to have dread loose stool or diarrhea once or twice a day still yellow and mucous all which I have read can be associate with serious issue like ibs ibd cancer and so on not know what is go on and waiting have been the bad throughout this ordeal normally I am a lay back normal guy husband father since the beginning of all this I have just been lose time of doom gloom dread think the bad is inside I make I feel this way and my child will be fatherless in 6 month I know its stupid and I should not think these thing my wife have been so support and I know she feel helpless but sometimes it just help I to talk I have a few day where I have a really sore throat gland swell on one side of my neck and back body ache and pain these symptom subside to some respiratory congestion and cough this was an add layer of unknowe what was go on in my body add to the fear and axiety conversely this gut issue seem to just happen suddenly so I can not help to rationalize it being possibly associate with anxiety or ibuprofen or a bug from some food in my search I have find that diarrhea last long that 2 week can be a concern which concern I only medication other than over the counter I take is losartan for hbp which I have been on for 5 year I have find instance online where people have report sudden persistent diarrhea I wonder if this could be contribute this past weekend my family attend the wedding of my wife family I do not want to go but I know if I was leave alone at home my mind would be fixate on my gut issue and I would be hit google freak myself out I take 25 of xanax and go to the wedding

think have like 500 calorie and maybe a glass of water in the same time I end up at the emergency room a few night ago when I just break it was way more than the panic attack I would been have they were go to inpatient I to an off site psych place but then decide to just let I go home I have been able to sleep and eat a little since come home but I am barely hold myself together I just do not know what all this stuff mean for I and send message to my dr that take day back and forth is not help I would be so very much appreciate if some might take some of their time to help I understand cope well than I have been I am a 41yr old female I am considerably overweight 40 bmi which is a constant struggle with pcos I have lead a very sedentary life after tear the cartilage in both knee a few year ago but I should have find something that do not hurt rather than throw up my hand and sit on my I have pretty severe anxiety I do not use to be bad at all until a few year ago when I was convinced I die after sinus surgery I likely pass out or simply feel asleep but I was utterly convinced I die and was unable to sleep for day at a time afterwards it flare now and then under stress my dr think it cause ptsd and health anxiety I was give xanax to take as need I do not drink I do not smoke I do not use drug I do not have any heath problem really until this liver stuff well yeah maybe I do but it is something that was just being look into right before the liver stuff come into focus start late april I have a month long about with abdominal issue I have never have before bloat quick to feel full loss of appetite frequent bms some heartburn by the time I get into see the gastro doc take a month the symptom have abate I literally only see he for 3 min he do not do any sort of exam he tell I I have acid reflux and to take this pill he was give I for a month and come back I was terribly disappointed in that whole experience my primary doctor have run blood work on may 1st and although my liver enzyme have been elevate they were still within so I guess she do not say anything I guess the gastro doc do not think much of it either bc he do not say anything either may 1st alt 15 78 you l 72 ast 9 44 you l 45 alp 37 127 you l 90 bilirubin total 0 0 1 2 mg dl 1 1 the previous time my blood work have been do was in june 2015 alt 26 ast 22 alp 94 bilirubin total 1 2 so you can see the alt and ast a considerable elevation from what it have been previously I have a routine physical on july 3rd the enzyme have increase slightly more alt 82 ast 45 alp 81 bilirubin totoal 1 3 this time she flag it and leave I a message she want I to come back in two week for a retest I google why enzyme would be elevate I read about nafld and nash nash send I out of my mind I keep have panic attack my xanax was not help with I could not sleep I keep have the thought of if I sleep I will die like happen back a few year ago I was a mess I call the office and beg for a liver ultrasound now rather than make I suffer like this for 2 more week for a retest which will prob just lead to an ultrasound anyway I also tell they I start to have right quad pain in the last few day that was not go away so she order it and I go that night for blood work not sure why the blood work it have only been a few day since I have it and a full abdominal ultrasound I was hysterical at the test and the tech feel so bad she try to calm I say that she do not see anything so bad only some gallstone and a fatty liver I guess she think I was worried about cancer but oddly I was not it is nash that is terrify I well after hear for sure I do have a fatty liver I lose my freaking mind I could not get nash out of my head I do not no one do want to end up on some liver transplant list in a few year with end liver disease I can not convey to you the just true utter terror this have strike in I and my anxiety med are not help after come home from the ultrasound I lose it I end up at the emergency room when I start to scare my husband this was more than a typical panic attack I beg they to please sedate I so I could sleep I was so exhausted I have only have like 2hrs in 3 night they give I fluids bc I was dehydrate something to calm I and call a social worker to work with they in put I into some off site inpatient place maybe I am being a baby but I truly can not help it I would not do this to myself if I have a choice I know I am being irrational at time but that do not make it stop anyway they decide not to inpatient I and send I home whatever they give I finally allow I to sleep I have been able to eat since then but my appetite is definitely diminish I have immediately change my diet and start to walk a bit my exercise tolerance is pretty low so I will have to work up to more and more step I walk 2 5 mile yesterday but I think that is maybe push it after having sit for so long and I really still have not been eat too much I do not want to make this bad and I have read you can do if you lose too much weight too quickly my doctor finally personally call I after her nurse who is a sweetheart find out I have been in the hospital my doctor try to tell I that sooooo many people have fatty liver and this is a new condition for I since there was no indication of it back in 2015 she say that is good bc it was not much time to cause damage she say fatty liver is almost always reverse with a healthy die and exercise she say my level are only slightly elevate so it is not a dire concern right today she say if she have been worry that of course she would have say so but she really is not at this time even after the ultrasound she say she hope that see my gastro doctor next week to talk about thing in more detail will make I feel well she say the pain I am have in my side and back and even the elevated enzyme could easily be from the gallstone see on ultrasound she keep say try not to worry and that she will do what she can to help get I into some behavioral therapy for my anxiety bc it is clear the med alone are not enough I have a panic attack while talk to she she is ask I to try to calmly tell she what I am so scared of I tell her nash it is literally terrify I she try to calm I with rational thing like it is such a small chance and all that but really she can not know right now if I have it or not so I really could not be calm very much I have been barely hold it together I do not see the gastro until the thursday of this upcoming week that is like an eternity to someone with severe anxiety I really do not know how I am go to manage until then I have been try to hold onto the fact that gallstone bc that is a relatively easy fix right could cause my enzyme to be elevate but alp is commonly also in my case it is not shortly before both test I have very very bad back pain that radiate out from under my right shoulder that I have no idea the cause of the last few day I have have this dull but constant ache at my right waist level reach a little to the front and back off and on for week few month I get this bit sharp pain in my right side that do not last but I was chalk it up to poor posture do that seem to be gallbladder

I know this is go to be difficult but I am drive myself crazy and need some kind of answer backstory my mom was 53 year old and on august 24 2015 she have a colonoscopy on sept 7 2015 we were tell that she have a 10 cm rectal tumor with several met to the liver come to find out she actually have innumerable met to the liver lung and pancrea the oncologist discuss chemo radiation and even surgery and mention a 2 year survival rate if she do what he have plan she do the continuous 5fu infusion and radiation 5 day a week she die oct 24 2015 two or three year ago she was have so much trouble with her right side being swollen so swollen she could not eat more than a few bite without feel full they find lesion on her liver and say that her liver and spleen were grossly enlarge but say that it was probably cause by the amount of tylenol and ibuprofen she have take to help with type 1 diabetic neuropothy and never follow up on it question 1 could she have live 2 or 3 year with met to the liver from rectal cancer with no treatment I am ask because I am have such a hard time with the fact that we were lie to the oncologist actually admit to omitting fact because as he put it if I tell you how bad it was I do not think you would have go along with my treatment plan and I know that it would shrink the tumor enough for you to be comfortable she die less than two month later we were all hope for so much more time because of the lie we were tell and we do not have the oppurtunity to properly prepare ourselves I find myself look at her photo and thinking of the date they were take and wonder if she have cancer then was she silently being eat alive at that point question 2 how long can someone live with rectal cancer from onset to death with no treatment I understand that it is unique for everyone but I need a ballpark maybe someone have go through it or have research it and know the answer if it help we have been tell by the oncologist that it was a neuroendocrine tumor but the lab that do genetic testing on the biopsy say it was adenocarcinoma more lie who know at this point any help would be greatly appreciate I just really need to give my mind a break I feel like I am go crazy not know,negative,0
