Re: help needed for suspected sarcoma

[Guest guest]

Vivek,

Until the biopsy report comes in, it is most important to:

* Not panic. It serves no good purpose. Besides, many sarcomas are

slow growing.

* Muster your money, but conserve it. Many people will make many

suggestions, both conventional and alternative. Most will be nonsense even

though you will often hear the most exciting testimonials and the most

fervent beliefs. If pertinent your father can show some restraint in the

indulgence in unhealthy habits, and it does not hurt to do various forms of

detoxing.

* Most people can find room for improvement in their diet, especially

when they stop to consider that their diet prior to diagnosis was not a

cancer-killing diet.

* If your father is a fast-pace kind of guy, tell him to slow down.

He will have to prepare to make a number of changes in his life.

* If your father is the sedentary sort, explain to him the importance

of sun, fresh air, and exercise.

Once the biopsy report comes in, remember this: Fast decisions are usually

bad decisions. Don't let emotions or fear force your actions. Once the

biopsy comes in your very best gift to your father is to help him with

researching everything you can find out about his sarcoma and the many

treatment possibilities. You have your biases, your father has his, and you

have to assume that all the information you collect is biased, but bias only

means that there is inadequate scientific foundation, not that it is wrong.

So, you constantly have to examine the quality of your information and the

quality of your logic and judgment.

Vivek, I have seen thousands of cases of cancer, but I don't think I have

ever seen one that was 100% fatal at time of diagnosis. If your father

takes his diagnosis seriously and acts in a timely manner, his odds of long

term survival are excellent.

I can only add, ‘Information is your best friend’ and that is a

quote.

You are going to be bombarded with all sorts of advice with little coming from

people that have worked with all types of cancer and most often talk from their

own experience.

Earlier we read comments that such and such a treatment will do this or that.

There is no treatment on earth that WILL do this or that in every case and we

would be better served if we said such and such is claimed because I would

venture to say the people saying things about particular treatments be they

Bicarbonate of Soda, a Zapper of sorts, or some other gadgetry or psychic

surgeon do not have evidence of efficacy. Many of us have learned that nothing

works for all people all the time not even the well-established protocols but at

least there is evidence they often help not something written in a book or

article on the internet.

The biggest challenge might come from your father himself because ultimately it

will be his decision, not yours nor that of anyone else. Find someone that

knows what works and what does not because this might be the most important

aspect for determining what to do. I was lucky because a little advice from

the right person gave me direction but my case only required a little

direction,. Hopefully you will hear less frightening news than some but

regardless, do not be stampeded into action without deep thought.

Good luck,

Joe C.
