Remedies for the side effects of cancer and cancer treatments?

My Mum’s battling with cancer at the moment and we’re doing what we can for that. She also seems to have issues with wind trapped in her stomach that causes painful cramps and dry retching a couple of times a day. Does anyone know of a way to alleviate this?
My Mum’s battling with cancer at the moment and we’re doing what we can for that. She’s taking Morphine and Brufen to manage the pain, Antinaus for nausea and Laxsol as a laxative when she needs it. Also, a nutrient supplement as she’s not eating too much.

She’s quite tired and need the morphine for pain but she’s still pretty with it, and has some really good days when she’ll eat properly, have a laugh and play with her grandson. Everyday though, she seems to have issues with wind trapped in her stomach that causes painful cramps and dry retching a couple of times a day. Does anyone know of a way to alleviate this?

My dog has lymphoma (cancer) and stomach . Without treatments he will die.?

Our 5 yro Rottie was just diagnosed with Lymphoma and Stomach cancer yesterday. He has been like a son to my husband and I. Over the last 3 weeks he went from 116 pounds to 99.5 yesterday. I am not asking what I should do only what others would do. I spoke with a specialist that said it would cost about $4000-5000 to do treatment and there is no guarntee that it will work or even help. I don’t want his last few months to be in pain. I am looking at him and for the most part he looks ok other than the weight loss. He eats and plays. My biggest concern is is his body starving itself? I don’t want him to feel that, I can’t imagine never feeling full or just comfortable. his stomach isn’t digesting food the way it should. I just don’t know what to do…I’m crying hyterically my husband for the first time in my life has cried his eyes out in front of my, my mother in law, my parents, his parents, everyone in our family is heartbroken, but I have to do what is right for Jager. Please advise.
Everyone thank you for your awnsers, although they haven’t made me make a decision my husband and I have said we would love him more so everyday untill we see him finally let go. The vet said take 3 things he loves to do and when 2 of them are gone, let him go. We will keep a close eye on him and just show him all the love we can then it’s time for him to love someone else. I sit here in tears writing this but knowing it’s for the best for him, it’s got to be the hardest damn thing I have ever done. Thank you to everyone for you support and compassion. Photobucket

Mesothelioma Cancer Researchers Eye Biomarkers for Treatments

Copyright (c) 2008 Katie Kelley

A study from the Department of Molecular Pathology at the Polytechnic University of Marche in Acona, Italy recently found that biomarkers within the body may offer early warning signs for mesothelioma victims.

The study focused on biomarkers of mesothelioma cancer and found that biomarkers often form before mesothelioma cancer symptoms appear, which may offer early warnings and potentially a successful treatment for mesothelioma cancer patients, according to the study which was published in a June issue of Mutation Research.

Studying Biomarkers to Help Mesothelioma Treatment

Biomarkers are a type of “biochemically expressed substance” similar to a protein, according to a news report on the study. An effort is being collaborated on by the International Cancer Biomarker Consortium (ICBC) to better address biomarkers as indicators of cancer types such as mesothelioma.

The large-scale effort is similar, according to the ICBC, to the Human Genome Project and uses an array of researchers from around the world to assist in studying the use of the the biomarkers. The Polytechnic study followed 119 individuals who had been previously exposed to asbestos; of these individuals, all exhibited increased numbers of biomarkers compared to individuals who were not exposed to asbestos.

What is Mesothelioma Cancer

Mesothelioma is a type of lung cancer that can develop after an individual is exposed to asbestos fibers or asbestos dust. After an individual is exposed to asbestos fibers, they may begin to develop cancerous cells on the interior lining of the lung. The cancer is often described as one of the only preventable forms of cancer especially since individuals are still being exposed to asbestos in America through improper cleanup and disposal methods. Asbestos can be found presently in an array of buildings including apartment complexes, homes, elementary schools, universities, hospitals and offices.

Unfortunately, individuals continue to be exposed to asbestos fibers because of its existence in many products implemented throughout the country, and because it is too costly to remove all asbestos by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), many remain at risk. Additionally, because mesothelioma cancer usually remains dormant for years, it becomes increasingly difficult to diagnose and to successfully treat.

Finding Help for Asbestos Related Conditions Like Mesothelioma

It is important that individuals who may have been exposed to asbestos to contact a medical professional immediately to assess and potentially diagnose their condition. If mesothelioma cancer is diagnosed early on a mesothelioma victim has a better chance of decreasing the risks of fatality commonly associated with the cancer.

In addition to contacting a medical professional it may also be important to contact an experienced mesothelioma attorney to learn about developing a mesothelioma lawsuit, which may result in receiving monetary compensation to pay for expensive mesothelioma medical bills.
