8377023 tn?1399509160 s a chance your baby is predisposed to it. There are a certain set of mutations that have to occur in the DNA to get cancer. If a parent passes down a part of that set then the child has fewer mutations they have to gain in order to have that type of cancer. this is what it means to be predisposed. You don't know if it was him or the mother or neither that passed the mutations to his first child. Don't stress over it.
973741 tn?1342342773 I see this all the time. Antioxidants and cancer preventing foods, supplements, etc. What are thoughts on this? Does it just help overall health or can things really be cancer preventing? If so, what things are you aware of? We could make a list!
Avatar f tn Well, there's nobody on here that can give you a meal plan or a complete answer to those questions. The issue with preventing and treating disease with food and supplements is there are a lot of different notions out there and not much conclusive evidence behind them. Virtually all of the big money spent on health in the developed world is spent on selling pharmaceuticals and medical devices, which can be patented, and on surgery, which is quite lucrative.
1100598 tn?1413127426 I saw a Gyn and he suggests at least the removal of both ovaries and the tubes to help prevent ovarian cancer. He said that a full hysterectomy is not as necessary. But down the road, there is a chance of getting uterine or cervical cancer. I don't really want to have either surgery, but I refuse to go through chemo again. So now I don't know which surgery to have. The full hysterectomy or have just the tubes and ovaries removed?
Avatar m tn NYtimes...a great source of fake news...anyway they re right on calcium and partially wrong on vit D, vitamin k2 mk4 or mk7 is what can fix calcium to bones (other minerals are also more important than calcium) and lower fractures, there are some triasl with results on this.
Avatar f tn Avoid coffee, carbonated drinks, spicy foods, fatty foods.
Avatar n tn I had a discussion with a doctor who assured me that if I had my breasts removed I could not get breast cancer. If I had a family history of breast cancer or ovarian/uterine cancer and had a mastectomy or hysterectomy, can I still get breast or uterine/ovarian cancer?

Avatar f tn Don't be scared. Yeast infections are more common than you think. It could be hygiene, foods that you have eaten,(extra spicy italian gives me one) or even the underwear you wear (they recommend cotton). If you don't want to tell you mom, can you go to clinic on your own? (trans. $ etc) If not, go to the store and buy an over the counter medicine for Yeast Infections.
15695260 tn?1549593113 A new study discusses research into the relationship between Vitamin A and skin cancer. There is more that we can do to prevent skin cancer than just use sunscreen daily! In a large study, patients were able to lower their risk of squamous cell skin cancer by around 15 percent. They received their Vitamin A primarily through food choices.
Avatar n tn Hi, I don't really know the answer but if you are getting reduced white-blood-cell counts, then I'd especially want to avoid any food with possible bacteria. Maybe Mocha can say more. Also, since a few patients get heart damage, I'd look into possibly using melatonin and Co-Q10 (OTC supplements) to try and prevent that. I'm not a big fan of alternative treatments for cancer, but I think that a few things do have value.
Avatar f tn Estrogen-sensitive cancers are cancers that are affected by estrogen levels in the body. Tamoxifen (Nolvadex) is used to help treat and prevent these types of cancer. Soy seems to also affect estrogen levels in the body. By affecting estrogen in the body, soy might decrease the effectiveness of tamoxifen (Nolvadex). Do not take soy if you are taking tamoxifen (Nolvadex). Warfarin (Coumadin) interacts with SOY Warfarin (Coumadin) is used to slow blood clotting.

Avatar f tn I am very concerned for reoccuring cancer due to heavy weight and also complications with my general health due to the weight. I am medication free right now, except a small dose of Celexa. I have just had the flu/bronchitus for 10 days and it is brutal. I need to get strong to fight off these things....please, any help would be appreciated. I have beat cancer once.....I don't want to even give it one more chance anywhere in my body.
Avatar f tn So far the only info anyone has advised is to eat healthy foods only. If anyone can let us know what types of food is applicable to this case we would appreciate it.
Avatar f tn Iron-Rich Foods, Iron-Related Genes and Colon Cancer (Colorectal Cancer). Iron-rich red meat - beef, pork, lamb - can increase the risk of colon/colorectal cancer. Cancerous cells are iron-overloaded (iron-rich, iron-saturated) cells. Primary tumors always develop at body sites of excessive iron deposits. Some might expect that since the vegan diet contains a form of iron that is not that well absorbed, vegans might be prone to developing iron-deficiency anemia.

Avatar m tn Does anybody know what foods and beverages to avoid for the liver?anyway let me know.
Avatar f tn That said, although women tend to worry most about a family hx of BC, that is only a factor in 10-15% of breast cancers, while it is estimated that 1/3 of breast cancer cases might be prevented with adequate attention to lifestyle choices. Once again, these have not been proven to CAUSE or PREVENT breast cancer, but a considerable amount of evidence has accumulated indicating that they are associated with increased or decreased RISK for BC and/or recurrences..
Avatar f tn t heard of any foods that delay labor, but I totally agree with you wanting to wait. Its best to go at least 39 weeks to make sure your babies vital organs are fully matured. InshaAllah you'll be fine habibty. Hang in there.
Avatar f tn This form of arthritis is an autoimmune disorder. There are many ways people get diseases, but the strongest defense against autoimmune disorders is to keep your immune system in balance -- not working overtime, not working too little. How to do this is complicated because the modern world is full of hidden toxins that can overtax an immune system and burn it out, but basically, try to avoid toxins, don't overdo antibiotics and steroidal medications, avoid pro-inflammatory foods.
148588 tn?1465778809 40,000 patient a year have their cancer spread to the liver.........that is unfreaking believable for such a killer of a cancer.
