In the absence of good information, humans typically think the worst, and can over-react and over-treat cancer. For any friend, pet or family member that gets a diagnosis of cancer, knowing what questions to ask can help manage fear, formulate next steps and devise balanced treatment plans. Learning the kind, grade and stage of a cancer diagnosis is essential in making appropriate and informed decisions.

Three Key Diagnostic Attributes

Kind:
– in-situ (pre-cancer)
– infiltrating or invasive (active cancer)

Grade (1-3):
– answers “how aggressive is the cancer?” speaking about the cancer’s ability to grow / spread
– on a scale of 1 to 3 where
1 is not active (lazy),
2 is moderately active,
3 is aggressively active, and
the effort to combat the cancer should match it’s grade

Stage (0-4):
– answers “how far has it spread / what is its extent?”
– on a scale of 0 to 4 where
0 are abnormal cells in a single location
1 is a small, localized cancer that has not yet spread
2 has grown larger than stage 1 but not yet spread
3 has spread to nearby lymph nodes or tissue
4 has spread to other body parts (metastasis)

About In-Situ Diagnoses

Every adult has pre-cancer cells everyday… maybe 1,000, more or less. Our immune system deals with pre-cancer on an ongoing basis. Some studies indicate that approximately 90% of pre-cancers go away on their own. Active cancers, not pre-cancers, can metastasize and become life-threatening.

Seek a Cure, Not Just Treatment

As one progresses through active cancer treatment, he/she should also consider identifying and addressing its source to support a cure. In other words, rather than focusing only on treating the symptom / tumor(s), one should address its underlying cause(s) to obtain a real cure and avoid future reoccurrences in the body. While this is not the focus of standard of care, which focuses on treatment, advanced thermography attempts to separate the source(s) of inflammation from the symptom of cancer.

For interviews, treatment resources and books recommended by breast cancer survivor clients, consider Cancer Related videos. Samantha Bales, one of the breast cancer survivors featured, welcomes your contact at sbales@mac.com.

While there are many reconstruction options, consider learning about Breast Implant Illness and Denver’s renown breast explantation surgeon in Chapter 5 of the free PDF book at: thermogramcenter.com/better-breast-health-for-life/

Since many clients’ heart attacks, cancers and illnesses are being blamed on dental care provided (many) years earlier (especially wisdom teeth extractions), please read chapter 6 in the above-mentioned book.

Conclusion

For any friend, pet or family member with a diagnosis of cancer, knowing what questions to ask can help manage fear, formulate next steps and devise balanced treatment plans. Learning the kind, grade and stage is essential in making appropriate and informed decisions. Additionally, advanced thermography may help separate sources of inflammation from the symptom of cancer, in support of a cure.
