Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: : - In her New York Times bestseller, Radical Remission: Surviving Cancer Against All Odds, Dr. Kelly A. Turner, founder of the Radical Remission Project, uncovers nine factors that can lead to a spontaneous remission from cancer-even after conventional medicine has failed. While getting her Ph.D. at the University of California, Berkley, Dr. Turner, a researcher, lecturer, and counselor in integrative oncology, was shocked to discover that no one was studying episodes of radical (or unexpected) remission-when people recover against all odds without the help of conventional medicine, or after conventional medicine has failed. She was so fascinated by this kind of remission that she embarked on a ten month trip around the world, traveling to ten different countries to interview fifty holistic healers and twenty radical remission cancer survivors about their healing practices and techniques. Her research continued by interviewing over 100 Radical Remission survivors and studying over 1000 of these cases. Her evidence presents nine common themes that she believes may help even terminal patients turn their lives around.

Download or read book Live Strong written by The Lance Armstrong Foundation and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2005-09-27 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Survivors from all walks of life talk about what “living strong” in the face of cancer means to them. Since the now ubiquitous LIVESTRONG™ wristbands became available in May 2004, the Lance Armstrong Foundation has raised more than $50 million for cancer survivorship programs, and the signature phrase has become a battle cry for those who fight the disease every day. Now, the Lance Armstrong Foundation has compiled, from hours of videotaped interviews, poignant and dramatic personal accounts from cancer survivors. Covering a wide range of subjects, from grief to spousal relationships, employment discrimination to coping with medical bills, infertility to fear of recurrence, survivors share their experiences and speak candidly about how cancer has impacted their lives. For twenty-four-year-old Amy it’s how her illness changed her relationship with her parents. Mike, a male survivor of breast cancer, talks about gender stereotypes and genetic testing. And Eric, the father of a five-year-old survivor of a brain tumor, recalls how friends and strangers helped his family with financial issues and how the experience brought him and his wife closer together. While heartbreaking at times, these powerfully honest stories are ultimately uplifting and extremely reassuring to patients and their families. They offer the wisdom and hope that only survivors can give. LiveStrong is a remarkable testament to the resilience of the human spirit. From the introduction by Lance Armstrong: My work with the LAF shows me daily that sharing our stories and learning from one another’s experiences helps us cancer survivors continue to survive. Some people think the cancer experience is only about the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, as if after the disease goes into remission, it no longer exists. But survivorship goes beyond remission. Survivorship is an evolution.

Download or read book This Is Remission written by Ryan Hamner and published by . This book was released on 2019-02-12 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Overcoming The Biggest Obstacle In LifeAt the age of six, Ryan Hamner was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma. Being diagnosed with cancer at such an early age, and then having it recur three more times before he was twenty-one (and during the last time undergoing a bone marrow transplant) could come to color one's worldview. But time and again, Ryan battled his health problems, stepping way beyond the comfort zone anyone, let alone a child or teenager, should ever need to. Through his professional career in music, releasing albums and touring to play in cancer facilities in the U.S., writing a book released through Blue Cross, training in martial arts and growing up with the support and love of a close bunch of family (most notably his mom and his Granddaddy Hamner), Ryan reveals an inspiring story with a most hopeful outlook for what's ahead. This Is Remission: A Four-Time Cancer Survivor's Memories of Treatment, Struggle, and Life is a sometimes harrowing, often humorous, always honest account that will empower all, from a cancer patient, a cancer survivor, to a caregiver or anyone lucky enough to never have the disease touch their life."Ryan's story of survival is amazing. The last chapter of this book nails what it takes to get through tough times." --John Walker, former U.S. Navy Seal, Founder of Juice Alive"Ryan's story is remarkably unique for his ongoing strength and his willingness and ability to share his story. Ryan's gift to us is profoundly life-affirming. He is one special person and an inspiration to us all." --Jessica Neely, PA-C and Elliott Winton, M.D."I met Ryan in 2007, working on his album and got such joy working with someone who is such a fighter. His songs really spoke to and inspired me, as they have many people. The future is wide open for Ryan, as he does not know the word quit." --Jeff Tomei, Rockit Productions

Download or read book Hope Beyond High Risk Multiple Myeloma written by Denny Davis and published by . This book was released on 2018-11-26 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Denny Davis is a respected engineering professor, who retired on paper. In retirement he refocused to improve engineering education and to bring engineering alive for grandchildren and youth in his community. Then in early 2018, a lump on his head was diagnosed as multiple myeloma, a treatable but incurable blood cancer. This began a journey he described as an opportunity to prepare better for life's final years on earth and beyond. Davis takes the reader through his multiple myeloma experience from diagnosis to cancer remission, stem cell transplant, and preparation for an unknown future. He describes medical procedures, their impacts on him, and his hope-filled perspectives on life in this body and beyond. Along this journey, medical professionals described Davis' physical and personal responses to treatments as fabulous, amazing, and wonderful-outcomes exuding hope.Davis keeps a sharp focus on hope at all stages of his description of diagnosis, treatment, and recovery. He presents conditions that dash one's hope, biblical reasons for hope, and outcomes that shout of tangible hope. He ends by explaining what constitutes solid hope and how to tap into this hope. Although many cancer stories speak of hope for the short term, this one points the reader to hope for the short and long term. In the face of life-threatening conditions, we can have hope that brings peace and joy.

Download or read book Fast Facts Treatment Free Remission in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia written by S. Potluri and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2021-01-26 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) imatinib was the first treatment to specifically target cancer cells, rather than the relatively indiscriminate effects of conventional chemotherapy on any rapidly dividing cells. This concept of targeted treatment in cancer is one of the important advances in modern medicine in the last 30 years. Indeed, treatment with TKIs has transformed chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) from a cancer with a poor prognosis to one in which many patients can expect a normal lifespan. Success with the TKIs has prompted the question of whether it is desirable – or feasible – for patients to remain on treatment for long periods. While the TKIs are targeted, they are associated with considerable toxicity, and long-term treatment has important economic implications for health services and patients. Thus, the concept of treatment-free remission (TFR) has emerged for patients in deep clinical remission. Clinical research over the last decade has focused on whether treatment can be stopped, how to best monitor patients while off treatment, and how to intervene before a clinical relapse. As this research progresses, the tantalizing prospect of a cure for some patients seems increasingly feasible. This new Fast Facts title outlines this trail-blazing approach to the long-term management of patients living with CML in remission. It explains the concepts of molecular and hematologic relapse, the highly sensitive technologies that allow disease monitoring, and how TFR is best managed in practice. It is a concise educational resource, ideal for any healthcare professional involved in the treatment of patients with CML who wants to understand TFR, particularly clinical nurse specialists and pharmacists who increasingly help clinicians to run CML clinics. Table of Contents: • The concept of treatment-free remission • Measurement of disease burden • Clinical practice • Future directions
