Patient discussion about aftercare.

Q. What benefits could I expect after using diet therapy in the treatment of children diagnosed with autism?

A. Agree with you and what you said, as well as what are your doing for this child that should prove to be beneficial,

Q. After Taxol/Carbo, then Alimta, treatments stopped because tumors no longer shrinking. Anything else to try? I was diagnosed with Stage 3 lung cancer about 6 months ago. Because of the weakness of my lungs due to advanced COPD, the Oncologist ruled out surgery & radiation so Chemo was the only alternative. I am now under Hospice care.

A. this is a question that the oncologist should answer...there are a lot of chemo treatments out there- but not always firring to the type of lung caner. but i'm sure he would suggest them...
look- there's some treatments in clinical trials. check them out maybe there'll be something for you. look under the topic "research":

Q. I am a little confused because the doctors will give her chemotherapy after surgery. Is this treatment good? My wife`s painful breast cancer was diagnosed last month. She was in complete distress and depression when she heard of her cancer. I was out of the country and so delayed her surgery. Today her surgery is over and the lump is removed. This is not a major surgery as we expected. But I am a little confused because the doctors will give her chemotherapy after surgery. I want to know, is this treatment good as I had heard that many side effects are involved with this treatment? I need some tips on this.

A. Yes side effects are there but it does not mean they will harm her in a big way. Mostly it depends on your present general health and previous exposure to other treatments as well. General side effects are nausea, fatigue, anemia, odor loss, hair loss and diarrhea. But to control spread of cancer after surgery, chemotherapy is required and don’t worry unnecessarily.
