Mesothelioma Cancer Diagnosed- Questions to ask

Written by Paul Curran


Following diagnosis, uppermost amongst a patient's thoughts will be these..."Am I going to die?", "Will I be in much pain?". As there is no cure for mesothelioma it is important thatrepparttar patient is advised that with modern treatment they can, for months or years, live a normal life for most ofrepparttar 144322 time. And thatrepparttar 144323 modern drugs are very effective at keeping pain under control and relieving it.

Obviouslyrepparttar 144324 treatment aspect is extremely important andrepparttar 144325 patient and close relatives must ensure that they getrepparttar 144326 consultant and doctors to explain comprehensively how it is all going to work. It is advisable to compile a list of questions to put torepparttar 144327 medical staff prior to any appointments or consultations and to get a relative or close friend to go along withrepparttar 144328 patient.

I would advise taking a look onrepparttar 144329 internet for information aboutrepparttar 144330 disease and printing out relevant bits. I did this when my father was diagnosed with stomach cancer. When I showedrepparttar 144331 consultant what I had been studying, I sensed a more open discussion and perhaps a few more technical details were covered that otherwise might not have been.

There is no harm in taking notes with you and you might even consider tapingrepparttar 144332 discussion. These are potentially highly stressful and upsetting meetings which might mean that you don't remember all that was said. You'll want to know where and whenrepparttar 144333 treatments will take place.

Arrestrepparttar Aging Process by Bette L. Hall CMA, NHC

The word aging conjures up negative images in our minds of forgetfulness, restlessness and sleepless nights, and wrinkled skin with dark spots onrepparttar 144263 face and hands. We no longer need to stand by and accept these things as part ofrepparttar 144264 natural aging process. Scientific studies show us that it is possible to enhance bothrepparttar 144265 length andrepparttar 144266 quality of life.

The length of our life orrepparttar 144267 number of years we live is not important if we cannot have quality of life also. Who would want to live to be eighty or ninety years old if we cannot sleep or think right and you don’t even knowrepparttar 144268 names of your family members? So what we need to do is to arrestrepparttar 144269 aging process.

A specific amino acid, acetyl-L-carnitine, can sharpenrepparttar 144270 mental abilities and stimulaterepparttar 144271 growth of new neuritis. Robert Crayhon, M. S. recommends that we take carnitine and acetyl-Lcarnitine along with Co-Q10 and folic acid for improved cognitive function.
