I have cervical cancer again.

There are many companies and "doctors" selling products for unorthodox curing method for cancer, most will quote you very impressive testimonial about this and that, who did this and that.
What they are selling to you is HOPE, not cure. To treat cancer time is the no.1 success factor, get it treated ASAP and dont waste time with TCM or other "natural healing" BS.
This is cancer dude, not your normal sore throat.

I am sorry to hear that.. Is it a malignant or benign tumour? Take heart, medicine is getter more and more effective in combatting cancer then before
If it was benign do you think she would be upset (or noticing lack thereof)? -

Put down the source, speaker and studies of those stories and experiments you've heard like what i'm doing and let pple judge and decide for themselves. Are you a conventional medical student or practitioner in the field of modern western medicine? Let me guess, to you the best and less-risky results with treating cancer is conventional chemo, radio and surgical methods? is that what you suggest vk should turn to period? if you think you've got better cancer remedies that could help vk, put it forward here. i'd like to learn something new also but not unsubstantiated opinions to screw pple's minds.
there was a very old article in the lancelet back in 1993 about such double blind experiments and doctors immediately concluded quackery and shove the patients back into chemo. -

my exact view.

Oh dear! Take care Vk.

To each his own. When you get cancer, I won't stop you from going with chemo treatment. But I will turn away from being treated with chemo. I will turn to pple who had suffered the same disease as I do and survived well to learn their secret of how they cured themselves. To date, I found cancer cures from pple who once had cancer and it's not BS. I know views from the pro-chemo camp are largely useless than useful.

Cancer Cure Trials Move from Mice to Men
The Independent on Sunday
06-30-08
Hope of new breakthrough as US authorities give go-ahead to treat 22 patients with white blood cells .
In a major breakthrough in the search for a cure for cancer, the first human trials are to begin using a technique that has already been shown to destroy the disease in mice. The trials are the culmination of years of research prompted by the discovery of a cancer-proof mouse by researchers almost a decade ago.
Tests on humans have been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration and were announced at a medical conference in Los Angeles yesterday.
More than 20 cancer patients will be given white blood cells with cancer-killing properties in an attempt to boost their immune system's fight against the deadly illness.
The work stems from experiments into the metabolism of a humble laboratory mouse whose immunity to cancer defied the repeated attempts of scientists to kill it with high-level doses of cancer cells. White blood cells taken from the animal and its offspring were subsequently used to cure other mice of advanced cancers. The white blood cells destroyed the cancer cells but left normal cells
alone.
This discovery encouraged scientists to study how people might be helped to fight off cancer by being given a boost of white blood cells called granulocytes. Laboratory tests have since shown how human granulocytes can destroy cervical, prostate and breast cancer cells, provided sufficient numbers of cancer-killing granulocytes from healthy donors are used.
Scientists are now confident that the treatment will prove just as successful in humans as it has been in mice. The human trials are being led by Dr Zheng Cui, from Wake Forest University in Winston- Salem, North Carolina, who said: "In mice, we've been able to eradicate even highly aggressive forms of malignancy with extremely large tumours. Hopefully, we will see the same results in humans. Our laboratory studies indicate that this cancer-fighting ability is even stronger in healthy humans."
Hundreds of donors will be recruited for the new treatment - which is called leukocyte infusion therapy - and a process similar to platelet donation will be used to collect the granulocytes. Twenty-two cancer patients in the US will receive the cells through transfusions, and their progress will be reviewed after three months.
The news has been welcomed by cancer charities. Dr Joanna Owens, senior science information officer at the charity Cancer Research UK, said: "This is an exciting approach to treating cancer and the results seen in human cell lines and mice are certainly impressive. Our immune system is an immensely powerful weapon in helping the body to fight disease, and our scientists are also investigating ways to harness it to treat cancer. It's great to see the results of a decade of research offer hope of a potential new treatment, and we look forward to following the progress of the planned clinical trials."

vk, i found out on the net that there is a leukocyte infusion therapy clinical trial in a US university medical centre looking for cancer patient volunteers. If you're interested and with your permission, i'll pm you the link and online registration form.
Patient Information
Only certain patients will be eligible for this study. If you have questions about whether or not you or someone you know might be eligible, please discuss it with your doctor:
- Who can participate?
- What are the risks and benefits to me if I receive Leukocyte InFusion Therapy?
- What will happen during the study?
Once you have read about the study, complete the on-line Volunteer PATIENT REPLY FORM to contact us.

The trial invitation began only on 27 June 2008. It's not too late to give yourself that chance of being cured of cancer.
-
Or if your cancer can wait, wait for the trial results in 3 months time. They might have a treatment cure for cervical cancer patients.

guya,dont argue,
i liked that we are all sharing infos on cancer. it helps to raise more awareness.
And as far as i know. TCM does not cure cancer. Its good for building up the body or balance the body after chemos.
and cervical cancer does not kill, not so soon anyway.
I had a motocycle accident recently and my wrist bones are refusing to knit. So my current concern is building up the bones and eating good food.
