Can you survive intestinal cancer without treatment?

Question

can you survive intestinal cancer without treatment

Answer 1

I don't think anyone can survive cancer with no treatment. Even holistic treatment is still treatment.

The state of our food, water, air...our world is not clean enough to allow the human body to eradicate cancer on it's own as we are constantly taking in environmental toxins. Maybe, but I very highly doubt it. Once upon a time, I'm sure it was very possible...

What i do know for sure is disease cannot grow in an alkaline environment, only an acidic environment. Greens and other antioxidants as well as eassiac tea (for starters) will help to balance the bodies ph levels.

It is certainly no cure, but it will help considerably.

Answer 2

Cancer doesn't disappear. I seriously doubt it.

Answer 3

Well technically, you could survive for about say, a few years... but it really depends on how fast the cancer is growing or spreading to other organs...

there are different treatment options depending on the type of cancer, and especially the stage (if only confined to the intestine, or lymph nodes and/or other organs are involved). Usually they involve a combination, like surgery or neoadjuvant therapy (treatment before surgery) like radiation or chemo.

some combinations are used in palliative treatment (meaning improving the quality of life) like surgery for relieving constipation or obstruction, etc.

just remember its the patient's choice on whether or not to start the treatment. But first, got to hear the pros and cons for each treatment. Just ask your oncologist/surgeon/gastroenterologist. Im sure they're willing to discuss these options for your patient's own benefit.

Answer 4

No you cannot survive intestinal cancer without treatment. The tumor will only get bigger without it, and will eventually kill you.

Answer 5

Depends on what it's doing to you.  Can you defecate? If no, then you got serious problems.  If it's aggressive, probably not.  I mean, are you 20 or 80?  If you're young, I'd do everything in your power to fight.  If you're old, your body may be too weak for chemotherapy or surgery.
