about ten years back someone sent me a tape titled "Cancer is not scary" I remember thinking What kind of Jerk would even say somthing like that. Today, after 12 years in a cancer struggle I believe that statement was correct.
As with most fears, Dialog can dispell much of the fear surrounding any issue. So tell me what you think.

I am not sure about that. I did spend an incredible amount of time discussing cancer with my brother when people were almost speaking the word in hushed voices.
However, he was 38 when he was taken into hospital with a blood clot,a tumour was discovered on his spine and despite extensive and intensive treatmant, we lost him a few months later. So from my point of view, it is scary and no tape could convince me otherwise. As with many illnesses there are so many types and such different effects.
I do know that many people have cancer and will probably die of old age. I know many people who are living with cancer and I guess that perhaps that tape would be of benefit to them and their relatives. But, IMHO I still think it is a bit of a dumb statement! -
I think it's often more scary for the people watching a loved one fight cancer. My father died of cancer in 2003 after only 6 months of being diagnosed and he didn't seem at all scared. He was mainly concerned for the people who would miss him and whose lives his death would affect.
For people with long struggles against cancer it is probably more freeing than anything else. We're all going to die at some point, but if you're forced to face your mortality in the form of a life-threatening disease you live a fuller life.
People are often scared of an idea, but when they actually experience it and come to terms with it, it really isn't any more frightening than crossing the street and potentially being hit by a bus. -
it scares the crap out of me, but to each his own.
i lost my grandparents and my parents to it, so i think it at least is something one should take pretty seriously.
it CAN often be effectively dealt with if detected early enough and that's certainly something people should keep in mind. -
We've all lost loved ones to this disease, thats why i do this, to raise awareness. Nutrition WILL BE found to be both cause and cure for this and many other diseases plagueing us today.
We have an amazing Immune System But we bombard it daily with foods processed with chemicals not designed to be consumed. we smear on creams n jels that are full of toxins that seep into our pours. Formeldehyde is a very cheap preservative, a suspected carcinogen, and is used widely in soap, shampoo's and creams, even in baby foods n shampoo's. MSG is a lab rat diet enhancer , created and documented in 1996 . but it worked so well the food industry picked it up and its now found in EVERYTHING under several different names because its not regulated
Almost all the major Medical Colleges are FULLY FUNDED by the Drug Companies
is it any wonder why pills are 'tossed" at us many times free?
We need to re examine Whats going in and on our bodies. If you'll do that , the Immune System God Gave you will take care of you-
i'm in complete agreement with you on this.

my Wife is Terminal, and this after 12 years listening to Conventional Medical experts. for 12 years we have been going thru the revolving doors of the BEST Cancer facilities. In all that time I've see very very few who have come away cured. I learned long ago that if I wanted to survive this I'd better be addressing this issue myself. Both my blog and my cancer site are dedicated to sharing our story and urgeing folks to think through their decisions to listen to the Docs. God gave you the ability to think. Consider your options.

There is a test, Documented by the AMA, its called AMAS It is 95 percent effective in detecting cancer or other diseases long befor the "Lump" stage. Ever hear of it?? Wonder why?? I've taken it and its available NOW. But the conventional Medical folks dont offer it Hmm ,,, 95 Percent effective, Wonder why?

Sorry, I get so carried away with this,
-
that's ok. i can't imagine what you're experiencing after living with this for 12 years.

Hi, I was just reading your blog and your family's journey through these challenging times. You are right, of course, conventional medicine practitioners don't dare to talk about "cure" for obvious reasons so it’s left for each individual to find its own path.
I have a blog called “Foods that Heal” – foodsthatheal.blogspot.com and try to update it as often as I can, time permitting – you may find a lot of useful information there.
I know that on your journey you’ve came across many wonderful books and writers – if I can respectively suggest for you and your family one book, it would be John Tarrant’s book “The Light Inside The Dark” . It’s not an easy to read book, and it took me a long time to finish it, it’s very very challenging in terms of beliefs and understandings but at the same time gives meaning to the journey. You know yourself what needs to be done on the physical level, but there are many more levels that facilitate healing and there is no one better that can explain it than John Tarrant.

In answer to your question – totally agree with you!
Love and Blessings

Mishelle, great blog, lots of good information thank you very much n Gods best

I guess I would have to see the tape to see the context. I think the idea of it is scary, being diagnosed is scary, the treatment is scary, how it will affect your loved one's is scary, but arming yourself with fortitude and the tools to deal with it (like knowledge and education and planning) it takes away the scary factor. -
jafabrit: the reason I created the blog is to help dispell the fear. cancer cannot live on healthy body cells. its been prooven. so moving towards better health is moving away from the fear. I have a cancer site also. canceranswersthatheal.com. lots of great info we've learned in battling cancer.

in 1996 a test was created called the AMAS test. its documented in the AMA and is 95 percent effective in detecting cancer And other diseases long before the Lump stage giving you plenty of time to Get healthy.

The last weeks living with secondary liver cancer is scary to say the least.
many hugs for Snuffy and all other trying to survive cancer. -
This is exactly why I blog and keep telling people you need to be aware of what you are eating, and the products you use in your everyday life.
Here is an example, im running new water lines in my house.
When I was at home depot, the plumbing person recommended these really cool new fittings called sharkbite that just snap on the pipes, no tools required.
So I bought them and left them on my kitchen table, this mourning at breakfast I decided to read the back of the package the fitting came in.
Here is what it says:
Warning this product contains a chemical known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm. California law requires this notice be provided to consumer.
This is a fitting for your water lines in your house, is there anything wrong that this product is even aloud to be sold?
You have to be very prudent in everything you buy today! -
Ummm...it's certainly not as scary as it used to be. I know a lot of cancer survivors, most of whom would be dead thirty years ago.
A lot of people are still dying, though, and, given the extent to which we've polluted our atmosphere, we have only so much control over what goes into our bodies, unless we live in bubbles. -
I'm a melanoma stage III-b survivor. I'm rarely scared, often pissed-off. How dare this thing try to kill me!! After I finished my year of chemo, I asked my doctor "what's next?" His response "Get as healthy as you can." Advice I take to heart. -
Hi, Snuffy! Haven't heard from you in awhile. Hugs to you and your wife. -
i don't think so, i had a melenoma in its early stages, cut from my back, its a good thing we caught the change early but i didn't really phase me....
but then again it all depends on the extent of the damage and the type of cancer-

You were very lucky. By the time I found the weird mole on my scalp it had spread to my lymph nodes. I had two major surgeries and a year of chemo - a month of daily treatments followed by 11 months of injections three times a week. Melanoma is serious, but treatable if found early, as yours was. Sunscreen, baby, sunscreen... -
hahaha mine was a very special case, it was a case of having a mole on my back and a hair follicle on the mole got infected and the mole began to react, when this happened we noticed the change but it was so gradual, eventually i had become discoloured only on one side, the doctor suggested that because of the infection something happened to the skin of the tissue that led to a more rapid change, and that it was not old enough to have spread to the rest of my body, but that i should return in a year to make sure everything is still ok.
for the most part i can not stand sunscreen.
i read your post above, i know that is not very nice. though if you were to be presented with it again would you be scared?? not really
i think its people like us not who are more about living than dying
-
I met someone today whose melanoma got deep enough that it spread into the spine. You were lucky, dude!
-
yuck, definately not cool

Even with all the information from doctors, books and the internet it's scary. And even after you go through surgery, chemo and radiation there is no 100% guarentee that your treatment got it all. Life is pretty much put on hold during these months of treatment. Afterward, you hold your breath, hoping it's gone, and try to get back into living life and enjoying your time here on earth.

we always do
to lose the will to move on is to lose life completely

i think cancer is scary. My mother had cancer several years ago and it scared me to death-
I was diagnosed when my daughter was only 10. I told her the science of what was going on and the side effects of chemo in advance but never discussed the "what if it doesn't work" part. I am saving that conversation for if it ever becomes an issue. I didn't want to scare her unnecessarily. For now I am okie dokie.
