                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[A very distant relative recently died from cancer. She had had cervical cancer for two years.
To my knowledge she never had Chemotherapy, but I believe that in her last year she had "key hole " surgery to remove some tissue..
Three months before she died a nephew took her to a solicitor and had her change her will to favour him.
It has ben suggested that at the time that she changed her will her mental state could have been flawed due to the cancer and that the changed will could be challenged.
Does anyone have any information or sources that would throw some light on how if any terminal cancer could effect a person's decision making.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Hello everyone,
I haven't been on Healthy pages for years. Quite frankly I don't know where time has gone or what I should make of these last few years. It's been an interesting and challenging few! 
Anyway, it's not about me I'm writing. My sister in law has been diagnosed with stage 3, cervix cancer and has lost more than double her body weight in a short while. She can't keep any food down and is awaiting chemotherapy. The treatment so far at the hospital she's been to, has been very shocking. Is there anyone who can give me any advice or perhaps  people that could do distant reiki healing. I'm very worried about her a n d would appreciate any help. 
Warm wishes T]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[My Mum was diagnosed about 5 weeks ago with a rare form of Leukemia and has been having chemo :( (Plus so many pills to keep her 'well') for about a month now.  She had zero immune system (Though before she was diagnosed she just had severe, prolonged nosebleeds, but NO infections!!) and so, is also being given constant antibiotics, :( anti fungals and other pills/injections that I don't know about.  She goes to hospital about 3 or 4 times a week for chemo and other stuff and has just been kept in for a couple of days as she developed a bad mouth infection and had high blood pressure (All as a result of the 'treatment' she is on!). 

I have tried to tell her and my family (Who are doing most of the looking after Mum at home/taking to and from hospital etc, as I don't have transport) that there are so many natural cures and that she should, even if she wants to stick with the 'trusted' conventional 'treatments', at least be taking in excellent nutrition at ALL times and VERY importantly, taking probiotics to counteract the harmful effects of the antibiotics and to replace the beneficial bacteria which is being destroyed by them. :(  BUT she has been given a list of foods she shouldn't eat, due to her having no immune system and the high probability of her getting an infection and on the list of foods to avoid, is good bacteria containing foods!!!!  

So basically, she is eating 'some' healthy foods, but she's not replacing the good bacteria, which is SO important and because now the chemo is making her lose her appetite, we (The family) have been told that if she gets hungry, we should let her eat whatever she fancies, even sweet sugary puddings/cakes etc (And we all know sugar feeds cancer and knocks the immune system to hell!!).  But I am the only one who is aware of all this, well the others are slightly aware, but they are just following the advice of the "amazing professionals who know what they are talking about"! o_O

I have been told also, that Mum is on this new trail and is being monitored closely and if anything shows up in her bloodstream that 'shouldn't be there' (Whatever that is), then she will be taken off of the trial and all treatment will be stopped!!! :mad:  So this is a very frustrating time for me, knowing what I know, about how chemo not only kills the cancer cells, but also destroys healthy ones too and that it can make cancers come back more aggressively.  Antibiotics are anti life and do so much harm and you NEED to take in beneficial bacteria if you HAVE to take them!  Plus the fact that there are so many natural CURES that really work.

It's just awful watching Mum go through all this and not being able to help.  :(]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[My cousin has found two lumps on her breast - Dr. thinks they could just be cysts that need draining but has referred to a specialist who she sees next week.  The lumps the Dr. feels are quite high up for the dreaded "C" word.
 
I'm trying to convince her that they are not cancerous (she's already in a severely depressed state so we don't need this) plus she would surely have other symptoms - feeling ill etc.?
 
And I've said that I don't think you get "two" lumps close together like she has if it was "C".  She had a mammogram in March which was perfectly clear and showed no signs of anything untoward. 
 
Do you get two lumps together high up if it is "C"?  And would she be feeling ill, have misshaped breasts, pain, leaky nipples etc.?  Which she has none.]]></content:encoded>
