Systemic Chemotherapy

While Season felt completely broken-down, she knew that she had no choice but to bring her background in nutrition to her own home. To build Kicker’s immunity Season implemented The Ketogenic Diet. The human body produces cancerous cells daily, so building a strong immunity is imperative when fighting off cancer cells and the harsh chemicals from treatment. The Ketogenic Diet is a new cancer treatment, which is free, with virtually no side effects. It can also be conjoined with other cancer treatments. The diet involves cutting carbohydrates, beginning with the worst carbohydrate of all, sugar (Johnson L, 2013). It is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet. The diet forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates. Normally the carbohydrates contained in food are converted into glucose, which are then transported around the body. However, if there are little carbohydrates in the diet then the liver converts fat into fatty acids and ketone bodies. Ketone bodies are water molecules that are produced when the body is consuming very little food, which mimics fasting. Cancer is an obligate glucose metabolizer because it fuels on sugar. One’s normal cells have the metabolic flexibility to adapt from saving glucose by using ketone bodies (Johnson S, 2014). This addressed that because cancer

Sadly, one in three people, one in four dogs, will face some form of cancer in their lifetime. The hope is that will change one day through the work of many wonderful organizations and initiatives including One Cure. One Cure initiated at CSU, was founded on the principle that cancer is one disease. Cancer is cancer. Because it’s the same disease what is learned in pets being treated for cancer holds promise to also benefit people, and vice versa. This approach is known as comparative oncology and is the core of the One Cure concept. Furthermore, treatment breakthroughs come through collaboration between scientists and doctors who are working with both people and pets. The mission of the CSU Flint Animal Cancer Center is to improve the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer in pet animals, translating their research and knowledge to also benefit people with

When you are seeking medical information regarding your pets, you want to make sure that you are getting the most up-to-date and credible input. Healthcare management and prevention for pets is evolving in the same fast-paced way as it is for humans. It is hard to keep up with new treatments and medications.

Eating very little or nothing at all: Animals are not too different from humans when it comes to how they respond to illness. For example, when people are not feeling well, eating may be the last thing they want to do. Pets can react the same way when they

Most chemotherapy drugs are given as a course of up to ten sessions (cycles) of treatment. This will depend on the type of drug you are having. At each treatment session you will be given the chemotherapy drug through a drip (infusion). This involves running a liquid containing the drug through a fine tube (cannula) into a vein in your arm. This allows the drug to enter the bloodstream and travel throughout the body.

The Animal Cancer Center at Colorado State describes that if the dog has osteosarcoma in its limbs the first and best way to stop it from spreading would be to amputate the leg. It is better if it is one of the legs in the back but regardless this can help reduce the scattering of the bone tumor. Of course, it the tumor is already spread to areas such as the lungs or other bones that are impossible to do surgery on radiation therapy is an option. The Animal Cancer Center declares that radiation therapy has considerably increased the survival rate and also decreased pain in almost 75% of dogs treated. The last option they explain is chemotherapy. Chemotherapy may not cure the dog but can extend the life of a dog up to four months (CSU Animal Cancer Center

Over the last decade, medicine has acknowledged the psychosocial impact of cancer treatments on patients, to the point that it has become a subject of psycho-medical research. Chemotherapy-induced alopecia (CIA) is a physical condition that can have profound psychosocial consequences, leading to a negative body image, lowered self-esteem, and a reduced sense of well-being. Patients, women who fear alopecia in particular, may sometimes refuse or select another treatment that lower the risk of baldness. In her testimony, Lori, a breast cancer patient, expresses a common feeling for women with cancer: “The worst part of this entire experience [cancer], is losing my hair [….] The chemotherapy would be so much easier if I had my own hair. I appreciate

Chemotherapy is the administration of chemicals into the body in an attempt to cure/lessen the severity of cancer in living organisms. Chemotherapy is always given with a curative intent, but that cannot always be promised to the patient, so sometimes it is given to relieve symptoms that the patients are experiencing or to improve their overall quality of life.1 While chemotherapy is used as an agent to try to rid individuals of their cancer, it is essentially slowly killing them. The chemicals used for the treatment are toxic to the human body and while they are giving them in small amounts, those small amounts accumulate over time to large amounts in the body. The body is affected by the treatment in various different ways and every body

Some things you may be wondering is, is there anything I can do to prevent my dog from being diagnosed with cancer? The answer is yes. There are some things you can do at home to prevent your dog from suffering or dying of cancer. Some things are as simple as avoiding buying dog food with fillers or preservatives or just adding daily supplements and vitamins to your dog's diet. Some things may be a little harder to control though, things like second hand smoke, pesticides and even some certain drugs in vaccines may cause cancer later in a dog's

Lymphoma is a type of cancer that originates in the lymph nodes. The most common type of lymphoma in golden retrievers is Multicentric Lymphoma. Multicentric Lymphoma is a type of lymphoma that involves all the peripheral lymph nodes. You can identify these lymph nodes by X-rays, ultrasounds, biopsies, etc. Before treatment for this cancer can begin, you must first make sure the health and well-being of the patient and client are okay; letting the client know what measures will be taken to attack the cancer. Once the client has willingly agreed to the treatment, knowing all possible complications and symptoms, you may proceed with the physical examination.

What patients are told is that the chemotherapy is destroying the normal and healthy functioning of vital organs such as the liver, heart, brain and kidneys. Yes, it could also be a reduction of the tumor, but the point here is not simply to get out of the treatment of cancer with only small tumors.

Similarly, there are certain species of dogs, including the German Shepherd, Labrador retriever and Australian shepherds are employed for the diagnosis of the lung cancer condition in various individuals.

    Cancer is a disease in which cells multiply out of control and gradually build a mass of tissue called a tumor. There has been a large amount of research dedicated to the treatment and cure of cancer. Several types of treatments have been developed. The following are just some of the major examples of cancer therapy: surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, biologic therapy, biorhythms, unconventional treatments, and hyperthermia. Each type of treatment is discussed in detail below.

For the chemotherapy dose not differentiate between cancer cell and healthy cell which in the end kill the bad and good cell targets dividing cells—interferes with wound healing which pointed out to us by Cincovidas

The patient still lost weight because when the burns were initiated she lost a lot of protein cells, which caused the need to have an excessive protein diet. But because the body is trying to reproduce the dead protein cells over a decent sized area the body needs more protein to main weight because of the energy needed to reproduce the
