Symptoms of Stomach Cancer People Are Likely to Ignore

Symptoms of Stomach Cancer People Are Likely to Ignore
By Seth Jiang

Many people don't listen to their bodies and are therefore not informed early of any illnesses they may already have. Worse yet, some people even ignore the signs and symptoms their bodies use to warn them of any health problems they may have. This is one of the most common reasons why many stomach cancer patients don't get a second chance in life. When the symptoms come, they mostly ignore them, and thus only find out about their cancer too late.

Admittedly, however, some of the symptoms of stomach cancer are really difficult to identify. Some are so common and mild that many people really tend to ignore them. Thus, it is important to know the cancer symptoms that commonly get overlooked.

Stomach Cancer Symptoms That Go Unnoticed

1. Stomachache or stomach upsets. Many people suffer from stomach upsets every single day. Thus, it is understandable that, although it is also a cancer symptom, most people don't jump to cancer fears after experiencing a stomachache. The key here is to take notice of three things.

First, can you attribute your stomachache to any digestive problem? If it is unexplained, then it pays to have it checked.

Second, what kind of pain is it? Although most people simply feel pain, there are in fact many different types of pain. Pain caused by cancer is usually a dull ache that presses inwardly. The position of the pain can also give you an idea of where the problem is coming from.

Third, how long does the stomachache last? If it is persistent or if it keeps coming back, it is best to get an ultrasound. Finding a stomach tumor early can spell a huge difference in terms of treatment and chances of recovery.

2. Acid stomach. One of the earliest symptoms of stomach cancer is an acid stomach, or the tendency to feel so full even after a small meal or even when you have not eaten much. Usually attributed simply to the feeling of fullness, or to indigestion, people simply let their acid stomach pass or take antacids for them. Most of the time, it really is just indigestion or overeating, but if you notice yourself getting bouts of acid stomach very often and even without eating much, then there is reason to be concerned.

3. Unexplained weight loss. Many people would welcome weight loss, so when they do begin losing weight rather drastically, they usually don't get alarmed. But if you find yourself suddenly losing weight after trying so hard without getting results, this means your weight loss is out of the ordinary. Unexplained weight loss is an early symptom of stomach cancer. Usually, the cancer in the stomach affects your body's ability to digest food and thus affects your appetite negatively.

Any unusual and surprisingly fast loss of weight, when not accompanied by a change in diet or exercise routines, should be brought to the attention of a doctor.

Advanced Symptoms of Stomach Cancer

Many people only start taking notice of what their bodies are telling them when they experience the more telltale symptoms, such as blood in the stool, vomiting, vomiting blood, and weakness or fatigue. These more serious symptoms are indicative of an advanced stage cancer, and by then, it might already be too late to seek effective treatment.

Thus, it is most important to give your body the credit it deserves. Pay attention when you experience anything unusual, as your body may already be telling you something. The earliest, mildest, and most common symptoms of stomach cancer are actually the most important, as how you react to them may just save your life.

The Big "SEE": Ten Eye-Opening Life Lessons Learned From Cancer

The Big "SEE": Ten Eye-Opening Life Lessons Learned From Cancer
By Janet Jacobsen

My diagnosis of uterine cancer over 3 years ago created an 'emerge and see' situation, forcing me to emerge to a higher perspective and see clearly what I needed to do to save and enrich my life. Cancer, like any life calamity, is a wake-up call. It opened my eyes in many profound ways -- that's why I call it The Big See! Here are the top ten things cancer has helped me see more clearly:

1. I see that it's natural to feel fear about cancer. Cancer is scary. When I try to rise above my feelings, that just positions me better for them to bite me in the butt. Feelings deserve to be heard and honored. Instead of sitting on my feelings, I sit my feelings on my lap like a child and let them speak to me. Once they're held and heard they start to relax and move through. Emotion is energy in motion.

2. I see that even though my mind always told me that I'm the biggest scaredy cat in the world, what I've actually discovered is that I am someone who has the courage to be present with my worst fears, one breath at a time, one foot in front of the other. We have more courage and spirit than we know. When first confronted with adversity, it can seem that life has turned on us; but instead it has turned us ON! It has turned on the big, bright, luminous light of our soul, igniting our courage and strength, inspiring us to put on our big soul panties and deal with it.

3. I see that my experience with cancer has catapulted me into the here and now, helping me to value this moment and cherish life. With time possibly limited, I am motivated to deeply immerse myself in the present moment, savoring it like delicious candy, and to my great delight, time has stretched like taffy into a sweet eternal Nooow!

4. I see that when worries are nipping at my heels, that's a reminder to take a deep breath, surrender, trust, align with spirit, and ease into that state of grace place where everything works out. Being in a state of grace is being in the flow where synchronicity occurs, coincidences happen, just the right people, books, and events present themselves, and things work out better than I can imagine. It is the realm of unlimited possibilities. It is my "Trust" fund, which I have access to at any time.

5. I see that when our world is blown apart, we are freed from the safety and inertia of the familiar, and are challenged to make changes, take risks, and follow our hearts desire. Cancer has transformed my "someday" dreams into "today is the day, now is the time." There are many stories of people whose illness has completely healed once they started following their bliss and living a purposeful life.

6. I see that my ego and my soul have very different agendas: my souls passionate agenda is to learn and grow and evolve my consciousness, while my ego's agenda is to have fun and avoid suffering. When cancer came a calling, my ego wailed in a Mr. Bill whine, "Oh Noooooo. Not another learning opportunity!" My spirit said, "Oh Yeah! Another opportunity to grow! Bring it on!" My ego moaned, "We are in deep doodoo!" My spirit exalted, "Rich compost, yay!" Ego scolded, "Now we've gone and done it... our fear has drawn the cancer to us!" Spirit exclaims, "Cool, cancer! It will help us come face to face with fear, feel it fully, and make friends with it!" Ego wants to run for the hills and be safe. Spirit wants to fly like an eagle as high as it can go, fully experiencing life, including fear. In times of crisis our frightened ego may feel like the sky is falling, yet our awakened spirit remembers, "I am the sky."

7. I see that my thoughts can create heaven or hell, depending on where I'm choosing to dwell. I choose to see that cancer has composted a rich and fertile soil for me, from which is sprouting creativity, inspiration, love, and learning.

8. I see that when I focus on deep breathing it boosts my immune system, activates the lymphatic system, triggers the relaxation response, and energizes and enlivens me. When I'm fully breathing, I'm fully alive. When I'm shallow breathing, I'm shallowly alive. As Elizabeth Barrett Browning said, "He lives most life whoever breathes most air."

9. I see that as I'm facing my fear of death, I'm embracing it, rather than bracing against it. Leonard Cohen wrote, "If you don't become the ocean you'll be seasick every day." When I come into harmony with all that floats and flounders about in my ocean, I am at peace. AND, since what you resist persists, maybe now that I'm no longer resisting death, it won't be persisting!

10. I see that Love is the answer - loving my family and friends, loving what is, loving all my feelings about what is, loving myself for not loving what is. It's all about love. The energy of love is tremendously healing, it boosts the immune system, and it just plain feels good. The word 'heal' literally means 'to become whole'. As I love every part of me, including cancer, I become whole.

For me, cancer created a rebirth that's grabbed me by the ankles, turned me upside down, and spanked me vividly alive! I'm seeing the world through brand new baby eyes. Cancer has been an illuminating, eye-opening, I-opening Big See!

How about you - in what ways have your life calamities opened your eyes and enriched your life?

Diagnosis and Treatment of Stomach Cancer

Diagnosis and Treatment of Stomach Cancer
By Paul M Choi

The stomach is a J-shaped organ of the digestive tract that connects the esophagus to the intestinal tract. Stomach or gastric cancer is a cancerous growth that occurs in the lining of this stomach. It is an extremely common problem worldwide, with over 1 million individuals succumbing to this illness each year. Factors leading to this illness include infection by Helicobacter pylori, eating salty and smoked food, and smoking.

The diagnosis of gastric cancer often involves an upper endoscopy, an examination of the stomach using an instrument called gastroscope that enables an evaluation of the inner lining of the stomach as well as taking a biopsy or sampling of cancer tissue. Once the diagnosis is made, the initial determination of the extent of cancer is made using a radiologic examination called CT scan. In addition, routine blood tests including complete blood count (CBC), and liver function tests, as well as chest X-ray are obtained during the initial evaluation.

There are 4 stages of stomach cancer. The most important determinants in cancer staging is the extent of wall invasion and involvement of lymph node, tiny bean-shaped glands of lymphatic system. Broadly speaking, in Stage 1, the cancer is mostly confined to the lining of the stomach, with or without nearby lymph nodes. In Stage 2, the cancer tissue has invaded the additional layers of stomach wall. In Stage 3, the cancer tissue has penetrated the entire thickness of the stomach wall and may have spread to nearby organs such as the liver. In Stage 4 stomach cancer, the cancer has spread to distant organs.

The staging of stomach cancer is important since the prognosis of affected individual is highly dependent on the staging of cancer. In fact, patients with the stage 1 cancer have a 5 year survival rate of 71%, compared to only 4% for those with stage 4 cancer.

The treatment of stomach cancer depends mainly on the stage, size, and location of the tumor, as well as the overall health of the affected individual. Treatment options may include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Surgery is usually curative in stage 1 stomach cancer. In more advanced cancer, a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy may be utilized. Commonly used chemotherapeutic agents include 5-FU, adriamycin, mitomycin, and cisplatin. In addtion, some patients may benefit from a new class of cancer therapy such as Herceptin.

Following these treatments, it is important that affected patients are carefully followed to monitor for relapses and recurrences. Thus, periodic evaluations including routine blood test, CT scan and upper endoscopy are strongly recommended.

How Is Cancer Treated?

How Is Cancer Treated?
By Andrew G Crawford

The question "how is cancer treated" is certainly an important one in today's society of seemingly endless forms of this disease. Luckily though this question can be answered to a certain point, but there is still no "sure fire way" to 100%, guarantee success, but there is still much we can do.

We often hear stories of people who have beaten the disease using all kinds of different methods, whether it was using conventional medicine or one of the many so called "alternative" methods people ARE able to cure their cancer and are doing so.

Alternative medicine, in their many forms, is fast becoming very popular in today's society, as more and more people are reporting success with them.

So, how is cancer treated? Research shows that foods high in "antioxidants" can certainly help rid your body of cancer causing substances, these can be simple foods like fresh fruit and vegetables, to over the counter vitamin supplements, to some types of herbs, which some cultures have been using for literally thousands of years. Then there is the obvious preventative measures we can all take, these include, getting enough exercise, avoiding smoking, alcohol and foods which contain artificial additives.

With this research, it's starting to become fairly apparent that simply by leading a generally healthy, active lifestyle and paying attention to what food we put into our bodies and maybe adding a few of those all important "antioxidant" foods along the way is the best way to keep cancer and other diseases at bay.

The old saying of "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" certainly has deep implications. After all, who really wants to go through chemotherapy once you have cancer? But even if you have contracted cancer these methods can still prove useful to help you recover.

Many people who have cancer take their doctors advise blindly and proceed down the path of horribly powerful drugs which can make them feel worse while not actually curing their cancer, but certainly keeping the doctors and pharmaceutical companies pockets full of your money.

When you start to understand how your body works and the importance of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals you will start to realize alternative medicines are not just a gimmick but help your BODY fight the disease by boosting your immune system.

Your bodies ability to cure disease is far more powerful than you realize, but only if it's at full strength.

How is cancer treated? Before going down the mainstream path just because it is the "mainstream" path, why not try an "alternative" or what I would prefer to call a "commonsense" path and find a method which sounds good for you, try boosting up that immune system and fight disease the best way nature knows how.

Lastly, with all sincerity, if you or someone else you know has cancer in one form or another, I wish you all the very best in your recovery.

For an excellent way to find out how is cancer treated which many people have had success with, go to cure-cancer.info, to find out how. Try this alternative or "commonsense" method for yourself, it's your choice, it may save you a great deal of money and personal hardship by possibly sparing you from "mainstream" treatment.

CLA Can Help With Cancer

CLA Can Help With Cancer
By Donald Willeyand Evelyn Willey

The human body is essentially a vessel that contains the organs and tissues that keep it healthy and functioning properly. The external and internal components of the body are subject to diseases that can cause heart failure, cancer and diabetes to name a few. The human body is susceptible to these diseases from the time of conception throughout its entire life. When left unchecked, these diseases can lead to serious disabilities and death. The majority of these diseases can occur with little or no warning at any time, necessitating the need for medical checkups by trained professionals.

The statistics on cancer are difficult to imagine. Cancer is the number two cause of death in the United States and there will be 1.5 million people diagnosed with some type of cancer this year. That is approximately 4,500 people a day, and every 60 seconds one American will lose their life to this disease. It can be said that cancer is an equal opportunity disease in that it does not discriminate due to age, sex, race, religion or social status. Though these numbers are appalling, according to the latest statistics they are getting better each year due to the advances being made in understanding the disease and medical advancements being discovered and developed. Early detection can be a deciding factor in the body's ability to fight this disease.

Cancer is a disease in which abnormal cells divide without control and are able to invade other tissues. In other words, a cancer is an uncontrolled proliferation of cells. It can be both external and internal to the body. Externally it can be caused by tobacco, chemicals, infectious organisms and radiation from the sun. Internally it can be caused by tobacco, genetics, immune system failure, hormones and mutations occurring from metabolism. Cancer is the name given to a group of more than 100 diseases. It is basically a group of diseases that have uncontrolled growth and create the abnormal growth of cells that if not controlled can result in death. These factors can act alone or join together to promote carcinogenesis (the production of cancer). The cancer that appears today most likely started ten or more years before when the body was originally exposed to its conditions.

Normal cells are designed to grow, divide and die. As a person grows older the cells in their body divide faster to support their growth. After a certain age, cells only divide to replace those that have died. When cells in the body start to grow out of control, cancer starts. All cancers begin in cells, the body's basic unit of life. In most cases cancer starts with the development of a mass or a tumor. Sometimes the orderly process of cells does not occur correctly and the genetic material of a cell can become damaged or changed. This produces mutations affecting normal cell growth and division. When this occurs, cells do not die when they should and new cells form that the body does not need. These new extra cells form a tissue called a mass or a tumor.

When not detected early, cancer can spread through tissues, the bloodstream and lymph systems to other areas of the body and develop new tumors. Cancer can even spread through the bones of the body. Lung cancer is at the top of the list of all internal cancers with over 200 thousand people a year being diagnosed with this disease. Smoking has been identified as being responsible for approximately 85% of these cases.

The list of cancers continues to cover all the areas of the body, including the brain. Some family's have a history of cancer which is passed from generation to generation while other cancers are not clearly connected to inherited genes. Cancer types differ in their behavior, growth rates and response to different treatments, making it necessary for trained professionals to act as guides and mentors through these troubled times.

Cancers in the United States account for nearly 1 of every 4 deaths. Studies have shown that 1/2 of all men and 1/3 of all women will develop some type of cancer during their lifetime and that there are millions of people who are living with cancer or have had cancer. Reducing the chances of developing cancer can be as easy as a change in a person's lifestyle. The earlier cancer is detected and treatment started increases the chances for living a long life.

Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) is a non-prescription all natural dietary supplement that has shown numerous health benefits. They include helping reduce body fat, increasing lean muscle mass, maintaining a healthy heart and arteries, a good mood and mental state, healthy skin and keeps cells working properly. It is the only known nutrient that enhances the immune system. CLA helps the body protect against cancer formulation and progression by inhibiting the growth of tumor cells and reduces the size of existing tumors. Because numerous studies indicate that oxidative reactions are associated with the development of cancer and atherosclerosis, CLA's ability to reduce the harmful effects of these oxidative reactions could be its most important health benefit.

The Question Still Remains: Is There a Cure for Cancer?

The Question Still Remains: Is There a Cure for Cancer?
By Brian Pankau

There are well over 100 different types and varieties of cancers that are known today, and some may not have been found yet as well. A cancer in general is an abnormal class of disease in which cellular growth gets out of control. This happens because cells multiply and divide too quickly causing the formation of tumors, which are masses or lumps that interfere with many different body organs and change the amount of hormones released as well. The classification of a cancer depends on what cell has been affected at the start of the abnormal growth.

What Exactly Causes Cancer?

There is still plenty of research to be found on what exactly causes specific cancers, but there has been some progress in finding out what has caused some cancers to all of a sudden appear into existence. The way researchers have come to find the causations for cancer is through behavioral studies such as smoking. Cigarettes contain cancerous toxins that can cause cancer to form in the lungs, mouth, and throat. Excessive alcohol can cause liver cancer, and both of these can possibly be prevented by stopping now.

Another harmful chemical known to cause cancer is found in car exhaust, which is why many state officials are pressing for more regulatory actions on harmful pollutants being released in the air. Even obesity is a known factor that is related to cancer formation, and this is becoming a very wide spread issue across the world. However, cancer is still a touchy subject because even those who are healthy and fit still seem to catch this deadly disease.

Causes of many different cancers include:

• Radiation
• Benzene
• Aflatoxins, and other environmental toxins
• Genetics
• Viruses

These are only a handful of the causes, but are the primary ones to worry about that can happen to most anybody. Symptoms can include diarrhea, yellowing of the skin, lumps under the skin, anemia, headaches, and too many more to place into a list. These symptoms are found in most any simple cold or fever, and that is why sometimes cancer is not found to be the problem until it has spread uncontrollably.

The Cure for Cancer

Sadly, there has yet to be any findings on an actual cure for cancer. The United States received $16 billion for the research and development on cancer, but this has lead for some researchers to acknowledge the fact that there may not be any specific, 100%, cure that is to come around in the next decade or so. Cancer scientist and oncologist agree that there is only a definite hope for prevention and coexistence with the cancer, opposed to the complete wonder cure that many are desperately hoping for. Maybe there is one soon to be found, but until then other steps are being taken instead of waiting.

Cancer Treatment

Treatment is something used to help lessen the effects of cancer and potentially get rid of the cancer for good, but it is only a possibility and should not be considered as the cure. The way medical professionals precede with a treatment is by hormone and gene therapy, chemotherapy, radiation, immunotherapy, and basic surgery to remove the cancerous cells and tumors.

Surgery is the easiest treatment for cancer that has not spread from the area of growth. The surgeon simply cuts out the infected area, and removes the cells that may be possibly infected around the growth as well. This is commonly performed for beginning stages in breast and testicular cancer.

Radiation is used to focus high powers of energy that causes the cells to destroy themselves. Chemotherapy is the use of chemicals to treat cancer, but can cause hair loss, nausea, and fatigue. The intent of chemotherapy is to again cause the cancer cells to commit "suicide". Immunotherapy is used to boost the body's immune system to allow it to fight back the production of cancerous cells. Hormone therapy is used for further along stages in cancers such as breast cancer, which it takes hormones to control the growth of these cancerous cells.

As Research Continues...

Try to keep the fight against cancer up by simply following preventive measures, which can help stop many cancers from forming. Do not stand in the sun for long periods, especially without sunscreen. Quit smoking and excessively drinking, and eat healthier foods that are low fat and with plenty of fruits and vegetables. Researchers are constantly still trying to find a cure all over the world, including the American Cancer Society.

Drinking Water And Cancer

Drinking Water And Cancer
By Douglas Hoover

Prior to starting 40 day fast on distilled water, I made an appointment with my doctor at the VA medical Center in La Jolla, California. At first, the doctor was much opposed to a 40 day fast, and especially on nothing but distilled water, commenting on its lack of minerals and electrolytes. But I explained to her:

• that I have been fasting every year for over 40 years
• that I have never been sick or been to a doctor or taken medicine
• that on this fast I decided to include 1oz of liquid vitamins and 2 oz of liquid protein
• that I planned to exercise daily at a spa.

Upon hearing this, the doctor seemed to be a little more amenable, especially after viewing the lab results of my blood cells, cholesterol levels and blood pressure. She was amazed to discover that at age 65, I seemed to have the "heart of a 25-year-old" and the results of my blood test were "exceptional."

She asked me why I was drinking distilled water as opposed to any other type. Curious about why she asked, I was prompted to ask what type she drank. I was not surprised to hear that she and her family drink San Diego's tap water. My next question to her was, "Do you have any idea of how many pollutants are present in San Diego's municipal drinking water?" The doctor immediately retorted, "if it wasn't safe to drink, I'm sure they would let us know." By the time I finished sharing with her what I knew about the chemicals and carcinogens (all at "safe levels," according to the EPA) regardless of the so-called good minerals and electrolytes, as well as water and its relationship to health, she was considering a reverse osmosis filter.

It is common knowledge that most medical doctors are not taught about water and its relationship to health in medical school. This is a small example of the serious problem we have with regard to the ignorance of Americans in trusting the government regarding our health. Regardless of where you live, if you were to call up your local water utility and ask them if there are any dangerous chemicals or carcinogens in the municipal drinking water, they would say, yes, several, but they are all at safe levels. When I drink water, I would like to think that it is H2O plus nothing: pure, clean and healthy. I do not want to be concerned with many dangerous, cancer-causing substances at "safe" levels.

Fortunately, many communities across the U.S. are voicing concerns about the potential and known links between the chemicals found in municipal water and cancer. Even though water utility companies are required by law to follow specific guidelines with regard to the levels of cancer-causing chemicals, there is much debate on what exactly are "safe levels." As a result of much public concern, new laws have been enacted requiring water utilities to publish the results of their water testing every year for public review. Therein lies the problem: virtually no one reads these reports or, for that matter, even know they exist, let alone have knowledge of the situation. Consequently, the general public continues to drink water that is by no means healthy or safe.

A glass of city water is not going to kill you or give you cancer any more than one cigarette will give you cancer; it is that cigarette after cigarette after cigarette. or glass after glass after glass of tap water.

One of the most serious cancer-causing chemicals found in our tap water was put there by the water utility company, "for our safety and health." Chlorine is widely known to cause cancer in humans, yet it is the safest chemical available to control water-borne diseases. Not only is chlorine a carcinogen, but when it comes in contact with humic acid (decayed plant and animal matter), it creates gases such as Trihalomethanes:

• Chlorodibromomethane
• Chloroform
• Bromoform
• Lodoform
• Dichlorobromomethane
• Fluoroform
• Chlorodifluoromethane

Now, as a result of adding one cancer-causing substance, chlorine, we have eight carcinogens which are linked to rectal, bladder and pancreatic cancers. Yet another chemical added to our water for our health and well-being, fluoride, has also been determined to cause cancer. The national toxicology program study found that fluoride is linked to cancers affecting the pharynx, mouth and rectum. Another study published in the Journal of Environmental Pathology, Toxicology and Oncology found fluoride directly linked to a rare bone disease, osteosarcoma.

Most people are aware that there are hundreds of chemicals being released into the environment every year and none of these are being tested to determine whether or not they cause cancer in humans, or at what specific level are they deemed to be safe. With thousands of chemicals found in our nation's water and food supplies, imagine what astronomical combination of compound chemicals could be created exponentially. If the result of combining chlorine with humic acid can create eight carcinogens, then what can the result be of mixing hundreds of unknown chemicals on the environment or our bodies?

No water utility has the ability or technology to remove this soup of potentially hazardous chemicals from our water supplies. Keep in mind that this is true with most bottled water companies, the majority of which obtain the water they bottle from the same source as the water utility.

Conclusion: many experts believe that the majority of disease in the world today comes from our drinking water in combination with dehydration (not drinking enough water). So if you want to live healthier and longer, drink plenty of pure, clean, healthy distilled or purified water.
