I Vant to Suck your Blood!Some cancer patients use lots of whole blood and plasma just to maintain their white blood cell count. Blood banks are usually always low to begin with but get an almost vampiric cancer patient and blood becomes more valuable than gold. Have your friends and family donate as often as they can (usually every eight weeks) to help maintain the blood banks supply. Talk to your local blood bank and find out what options are available to you about donating and possibly storing blood. Each person and cancer is differentCarl Jung once said, "The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases." And that applies to cancer and to treatments. One treatment that sends one person in remission may kill another. Your best bet: look at all possible treatments and decide what may be best for you. "It is a bad plan that admits of no modification." - Publilius Syrus Not more needles!You have been poked, prodded, stabbed and jabbed. The last thing on your mind is more needles, but what if these were good needles? Acupuncture has been around for thousands of years and has roots in curing just about all known diseases. For cancer patients, acupuncture helps with overcoming the side effects of the chemo, radiation, and even helps slow down the cancer itself. Oncologists are not GodSome patients are more than happy to put their lives in the hands of their doctors. Others look at their situation, listen to their doctors, and then decide for themselves keeping their life in their own hands. One-way in not necessarily better than the other. But by putting that much confidence into technology and the medical community you may be jinxing yourself. Remember the Titanic? Shipbuilder Magazine said it was unsinkable...well they were right for the first three days into her maiden voyage.
