CANCER TREATMENT OPTIONS: REVIEW

SOURCE: NIH National Cancer Institute 

 There are many types of cancer treatments. The types of treatment that you have will depend on the type of cancer you have and how advanced it is. Some people with cancer will have only one treatment. But most people have a combination of treatments, such as surgery with chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. You may also have immunotherapy, targeted therapy, or hormone therapy. Clinical trials might also be an option for you. Clinical trials are research studies that involve people. Understanding what they are and how they work can help you decide if taking part in a trial is a good option for you. When you need treatment for cancer, you have a lot to learn and think about. It is normal to feel overwhelmed and confused. But, talking with your doctor and learning all you can about all your treatment options, including clinical trials, can help you make a decision you feel good about. Our Questions to Ask Your Doctor About Treatment may help.

  1. hello everyone my Mother was diagnosed with ALS November 2018, since the prognosis she has lost the ability to speak, struggles to chew and swallow, her arm strength is minimal on her best days and she’s loosing control of her balance and neck muscles. She has began to decline not only in health but mentally as well as she has given up the fight it seems, i couldn't just watch my mom dying so i decided to go into the internet for a possible solution and luckily i saw a Facebook post singing the praises of a herbal formula from Dr James that someone with ALS used and got cured and quickly contacted the email (jamesherbalformula @ gmail. com) and order for the formula and since i started using the formula my mom have recovered greatly. am so happy and thanks James for reviving my mom. you can contact him for the ALS herbal formula via his above email and also add him on hangout or through his whatsapp +2348102574680 Best Regards
