CANCER CELLS FOUND IN BLOODWORK

My 27 yr. old daughter went to her family doctor a few days ago. They ran bloodwork. Just the normal bloodwork, that a family doctor would run. Doctor has called my daughter today, saying that cancer cells were found in her bloodwork. She has not been feeling good lately and has been having non-stop headaches. My daughter has had migraines for 10 yrs. I had tests ran on her when she was 14. Specialist diagnosed migraines. There is a family history of migraines. I have had them since age 12. My mother also had migraines. But, the headache she has been having in the past month is not a migraine. The pain is different and intense. Her bloodwork also revealed that she is anemic. My daughter is now scheduled for more bloodwork and a CT scan next week. And there will be a second opinion if needed, when those test results come back in. The doctor told my daughter today, that she is not liking these headaches she is having nor the cells showing up in her bloodwork. There is a strong family history of cancer. I am a 20 yr. cancer survivor. My father passed away in 1988 with cancer. I had 2 grandfathers die with cancer. So, I am very deeply concerned about this current finding with my daughter. I did not realize my daughter was feeling so bad. She has kept it from me. And my daughter is usually never the one to say she is feeling bad, etc. Of course, unless she is feeling bad. Normally, she is a bundle of energy. She says she is feeling so tired anymore. Until we know anything further, we are trying to stay upbeat, hopeful and positive. But I will admit, we also are very scared right now as well. I have been researching this on the net. What I am reading is not good. But I would prefer to hear anyone's actual opinion on this bloodwork showing cancer cells.  And please don't be afraid to shoot me straight up. I want to know what we may actually be facing.    Thank you

Hi.  My husband has been diagnosed with esophageal cancer.  The moment I found out, I started doing my research, not on the cancer itself, but on a natural way to help treat it.  I found a lot and usefull information.  I also went out and bought a juicer, and have been making natural juices for him, which is helping him tremendously.  I make him fruit juice at noon time, and vegetable juice in the afternoon.  I also found a book called "A Cancer Battle Plan Sourcebook: A Step-By-Step Health Program to Give Your Body a Fighting Chance" by David Frahm.  In my research I found that cancer cells become active depending on what we eat.  It is amazing the information that I have found.  I believe in natural remedies to help with these type of deseases.  Also read what this guy says on his website:  http://hubpages.com/hub/Foods_That_Feed_Cancers.  This will help you understand a little more about cancer.  Also, I found a nurosurgeon that also believes in natural medicine.  You can find him at http://www.blaylockreport.com/.  Hope this all helps.

Good luck, and God bless

Thank you for well wishes for my daughter. I am just now learning today, about all this going on with my daughter. I myself have lung disease and she tried not to worry me. But, I am only thankful to know what is happening, as I plan to stand beside her all the way, through whatever we maybe facing. We are very close. I just talked to her a little while ago again. The bloodwork was not the normal routine bloodwork. It was rather extensive. The doctor was not liking some of the symptoms my daughter was having. My daughter's symptoms are a constant headache of approx. a month, extreme fatigue, anemia, loss of appetite, joints aching, blurred vision and feeling dizzy at times and stomach pain. She has never been a complainer of being sick, unless she is truly sick. The doctor has given her meds for her headache. These meds are not relieving the headache any. I certainly hope and pray, that you are not going through a situation much like ours. We are very hopeful, but honestly very scared, too. She is 27 with a little boy of 6. Much too young to possibly be facing this. But, I know illness comes to us all, regardless of our ages. I am wishing you well.
