Is melanoma easy to treat?

Question

I find out tomorrow if I have it..really scared

Answer 1

Depends on how advanced it is when caught. If not caught early it is one of the more deadly forms of cancer. Good luck.

Answer 2

Well, you should probably find out if you actually have it before talking about the treatments.

Of the three basic types of skin cancers (melanoma, Squamous cell, and Basal cell) melanoma is the most serious and difficult to treat.  The reason is because it alone has the potential to spread to other parts of the body (metastasize)  

Potentially...any skin cancer is curable with surgery if caught when it is localized and small.  One can never be entirely sure if the melanoma hadn't spread before it was removed, and life long vigilance for recurrence is needed.  There are a variety of treatments available for melanoma that has spread, such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy and even T-cell therapy(which is another kind of immune therapy)),. though it is still a bit experimental.

I know you are asking on the AM board, but there are no alternative treatments that have any proven benefit in melanoma.

Answer 3

depends on whare it is and how far it has spread.you going to die from something oneday nomatter what you do so no need to be scared enjoy the time you have and dont worry couse that only makes you more miserable.enything  else would be only conjecture on my part and i am not in to blowing smoke up nobodys bum.  speaking of such you mite just smoke a big bole and wate to  see what youre doctor says tomorrow.  i wish you the verry best.

Answer 4

Despite what most medical doctors will tell you, most cancers are fairly easy to treat and extremely cheap effective methods exist.  I've spent the last year working with people and going through first hand experience with the efficacy of various treatments.  Truthfully, while the most expensive, chemotherapy and radiation actually get worse results than doing nothing (which is the root problem with our current approaches towards cancer).

It's really a case by case thing, but I know that Gerson therapy specifically is extremely effective for treating melanoma.

There are other methods as well which I prefer, but Gerson therapy is easier to get access to and should do the trick for melanoma specifically.

Hope that helps!

PS Someone was asking my about cancer a couple of days ago, and this is cipd from an email I sent her.

Cancer is a lot more complicated.  I know the following work (if done properly which can be hard):

Jonanna budwig diet

Orgone therapy

Certain Chi Gung forms (specifically Dragon and Tiger)

Rife therapy.

I think the following are helpful and do a lot (especially more than conventional treatments) but they don't have as high an automatic chancer of sucess.

Fixing psychological discontent.

Cutting sugar/refined grains out of the diet and shifting the body towards an alkaline balance.

Getting rid of stress and breathing properly.

DMSO treatments.

Causes of cancer are a bit trickier, so I'm going to skim it.

Basically, if a cell is put in conditions without oxygen, it will turn cancerous, and many causes of cancer are essentially just from the cells being forced to be anaerobic.

Secondly, if you have "bad energetic fields in your body" cancer cells will grow along them.  This is a bit more complicated to explain, and I'll just skip it, and only add even in the alternative health movement this is not very well known.

Many of the things which are blamed for cancer often trigger one of those two to occur, and there are main carcinogens in the environment which lobbying has kept from being removed (ie. fluoride).
