Latest news and research on all cancers and treatments, 10,000-item data base of these
As well as updating my summary below, I report two researches particularly relevant to bladder cancer:
says that having the standard treatment for bladder cancer of BCG does not improve survival.
The second is a graph (below) which implies that bladder cancer treatment is getting worse Even though incidence is falling and mortality are both falling, mortality is not falling as fast:
I have three morbidities, of which the bladder cancer one is in remission. I am not now posting here as to heretofore. However, I list below a synopsis of what I believe are the important tools for anyone who has cancer concerns.
1. If you wish to know my detailed advice about cancer, see the first two references above: Click here to Survive Longer Here for Anti-Cancer Program
2. A brief summary is of what I do, based on the best evidence:
b. exercise (which pumps the lymph system, the immune system, around the body): I walk for about 1.5 hours/day (10,000+ steps/5 miles); and 2-3 times a week I do simple resistance exercises plus 3 bursts of 20 seconds high intensity exercises (now on a stationary cycle, previously sprints) with 2 minutes of slow between. Run for your life: Exercise protects against cancer & here
c. keep my waist below half your height; fat, especially visceral (waist), enhances inflammation and is a cancer enhancer.
d. Food effects our genes: so no alcohol, sugar/fast carbs, or meat - I now attempt to do a ketogenic diet (total carbs below 50g/day), with avocado and coconut oil to keep my fat intake high. Lots of veggies works for me, and I’ve now gone vegan – with good results, especially for my kidney. Organic may be best. I've recently embarked on a "Fasting Mimicking Diet" 5 days/month (fasting in general is thought useful), as it is reported to reduce ageing/increase immune function (but probably best not done unless well clear of any evidence of cancer).
e. Little fruit now, as I keep my sugar intake low - mainly berries/red-and-black currents
f. Veggies: broccoli, cauliflower, mixed leaves, spinach, mushrooms, onions, sweet peppers, chilli peppers (as a big salad at lunch-time)
g. Good oral hygiene - after (not before) breakfast and dinner, flossing and using a non-fluoride toothpaste. Gum disease is a major source of inflammation, a cancer stimulant (Oral Bacteria Linked With Pancreatic Cancer); Alzheimer’s, and cardio-vascular problems.
i. Good, and daily, defecation. I now use a squat stool – enables me to squat on the toilet, similar to 3rd world countries, as this enables better elimination. The microbiome, mainly the gut bugs, is a major source of health/illness/immune system and the bug balance influences this. Research is in its early stages as to how to improve this, but good throughput seems to improve things.
j. Filtered water
k. I no longer take many supplements (having taken lots, on and off) - having found none seem to relate to any of my health/cancer measurements (except, sometimes, badly). I do take a single sachet comprising supposed optimum ingestation, called NutriShield, and 2,000IU Vit.D3 daily.
l. I monitor my body composition daily, my cancer and kidney with molecular cancer markers every month, checking in with the consultants if they go above 'normal' for 2 or more months.
m. Do a diary (who, time, date, place) of my medical visits, questions to ask, answers, advice. I was surprised how often the medical people lost, even recent, medical data.
3. I still monitor health news sites, from which I used to extract those I considered of most importance for cancer and posted here on my blog. I recommend you subscribe to one or more of these to ensure you know of the latest developments.
d. Create a Google Alert for your particular cancer (or anything for that matter). I have ones for bladder cancer, pancreatic cancer, hypertension, and kidney disease.
g. A good website for alternative treatments is The Truth About Cancer - though I find it not as authoritative as Cancer Active
h. Similarly with regards GreenMedInfo
Bear in mind that there is considerable evidence that cancer is related to lifestyle, so improving that is important. It helps the clinical treatments be more effective and reduces the side-effects. Plus even if a cancer patient goes into remission, they are always at greater risk of cancer again than those who've never had cancer in the first place.
Note several things about the information and advice that your doctor will give you. Diagnosis is not an exact science. That different people respond differently to both the same diagnosis and the same treatments. Remember, doctors advise, patients decide (that’s why the doctors get you to sign a form, to say that it is your decision, not theirs). And that survival times (the prognosis) are at best averages, based on historical patients and treatments - whereas hopefully there are constant improvements which ought to improve the average survival times; many people live much longer than the average.
There are many cautionary reports to underline my view that the experts themselves do not always agree, and much of what they proffer may not be based on research, for example:
