Cancer is a complex group of over 100 different types of cancer. Cancer can affect just about every organ in the human body.
How Does Cancer Develop?
The organs in our body are made up of cells. Cells divide and multiply as the body needs them. When these cells continue multiplying when the body doesn't need them, the result is a mass or growth, also called a tumor.
These growths are consider either benign or malignant. Benign is considered non-cancerous and malignant is cancerous.
Benign tumors rarely are life threatening and do not spread to other parts of the body. They can often be removed.
How Does Cancer Spread to Other Parts of the Body?
The cells within malignant tumors have the ability to invade neighboring tissues and organs, thus spreading the disease. It is also possible for cancerous cells to break free from the tumor and enter the blood stream, and spreading the disease to other organs. This process of spreading is called metastasis.
When cancer has metastasized and has affected other areas of the body, the disease is still referred to the organ of origination. For instance, if cervical cancer spreads to the lungs, it is still called cervical cancer, not lung cancer.
Although most cancers develop this way, diseases like leukemia do not. They affect the blood and the organs that form blood and then invade nearby tissues.
All cancers are different, and require different treatment. What may be effective for prostate cancer, probably will not be for bladder cancer. Diagnosing cancer will vary as well, depending on the organ affected.
Fast Facts About Cancer
One in three people will develop cancer.
One in four people will die of cancer.
In 2005, about 1.4 million new cases of cancer were diagnosed.
More than 1500 Americans died each day of cancer this year.
Over 1,000,000 cases of skin cancer will be diagnosed this year.
Cancer is the leading cause of death among Americans under the age of 85.
THE BLADDER
The bladder is a
hollow organ in the lower abdomen. It stores urine, the waste that is
produced when the kidneys filter the blood. The bladder has a muscular
wall that allows it to get larger and smaller as urine is stored or
emptied. The wall of the bladder is lined with several layers of
transitional cells.
Symptoms:
Some
common symptoms of bladder cancer include:
Blood in the urine (slightly rusty to deep red in
color).
Pain during urination.
Frequent urination, or feeling the need to
urinate without results. More
Breast Abnormalities
A history of proliferative breast disease or atypical cell growth, known
as hyperplasia, is a significant risk factor for breast cancer. Benign
fibroid tumors may increase risk after many years, particularly if they
are complex, such as cysts or if they cause scarring.
Physical Characteristics
Studies
have reported mixed effects on the association between obesity and
breast cancer. A number of
studies have reported an association between being overweight as a child
or young woman and a lower risk for breast cancer. (Estrogen levels are
actually reduced in the presence of high fat levels in premenopausal
women.) Women with heavy dense bones are at higher risk for breast
cancer, since estrogen helps build bone mass. There have been reports of
a link between increased height and breast cancer risk, but one
controlled study of almost 10,000 women found no association at all.
However, women who reached their maximum height at age 18 may have a
lower breast cancer risk than women who reached their full height at 13
or younger -- again probably because they had higher levels of estrogen
at an earlier age.More
Liver Cancer
Most of the time when cancer is found in the liver, it did not start there but spread to the liver from a cancer that began somewhere else in the body. These tumors are named after the place where they began (primary site) and are further described as metastatic For example, cancer that started in the lung and spread to the liver is called metastatic lung cancer with spread to the liver. The rest of the information given here covers only primary liver cancer, that is, cancer that begins in the liver.more
The Stories about Cancer Patients
Story #1 - File No: 19048
Name: Mdm Sun Y.
Age: 74
Nationality: China
NRIC: 2102xxxxx938070xxxxx
Patient Mdm Sun Y. was diagnosed with 4th Stage Lung Cancer. In addition to Lung cancer, she is also suffering from diabetes, high blood pressure and heart problems. Prior to her arrival to Malaysia to seek Master @ THETOLE, she has been coughing 20-30 mouthful of blood daily. Communicating via email, her children communicated with the staffs @ THETOLE about her condition. According to her condition, Master prescribed 1 month of herbs for Mdm Sun to be consumed at home.
After 1 month, her condition has improved dramatically and her coughing of blood has gradually reduced. Nevertheless, she is now able to fly over to Malaysia for intensive acupuncture treatment. She arrived on the 16th November 2010 and stayed in Malaysia for 2 months for the intensive treatment. During her last week of stay in Malaysia, she has stopped coughing blood. She left Malaysia on 12th January 2011 together with 3 months worth of herbs.
On June 2012, patient found out that she is suffering from 4th Stage Ovarian Cancer with Chronic DVT. On April 2013, she has just completed her 6 cycles of Chemotherapy. 3 weeks has passed, hoping that the Chemotherapy treatment has worked, she went back to do another cancer marker test. The result was disappointing as has CA125 test result on 17 May 2013 shot up to 161 from 74.1 on 25 April when the chemotherapy was finished. Seeing that modern medication and treatment is not helping, she has got no choice but to turn to other forms of treatment.
She came to see THETOLE Master on the 17th May 2013 and master conducted acupuncture and prescribed herbs to her and she was told to come back after 2 weeks. On her 3rd visit which is on the 18 June 2013, her situation deteriorated and the CA125 test results was 260.7. Master then prescribed her stronger dosage of herbs for 1 month.
After finishing her 1 month supply of herbs, she did another test. To her surprised, the test results were very encouraging, dropping by more than half from 260.7 in June to 123.9 in July.
In addition, she is feeling great and energetic. Till now, Mdm Cec is still coming to THETOLE once a month for follow-up and also for her monthly dose of herbal medication.
