New Hope for Kidney, Liver and Lung Cancer

[Forseegood]

Hello Everyone! stop by to read every once and awhile, and am so happy to hear that many of you are getting much better, svr'ed, etc...anyway, just want to post this on some medical sites, and I know some of you are suffering, or know someone who is suffering from liver cancer, etc...anyway, I know some people who are...just was watching Extra (yeah, I'm busted, lol) and I saw this piece about this Dr. Julien at Cedar's Sinai in Los Angeles who has a revolutionary new treatment for these cancers, as long as the tumors are relatively small. The treatment takes about 12 minutes and the recovery time is about an hour...(you'd think they would of thought of this before, but maybe it was too obvious) here is the header...

Dr. Peter Julien describes Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA), the minimally-invasive procedure used to treat small liver, lung, kidney and bone tumors.

Here is the website...http://extratv.warnerbros.com/2009/03/0307_dr_julien_raw.php

Just thought I'd pass this on to all who would be interested...sounds very promising!  Peace and happiness to all!

I use that 7-11 hypnosis download you turned me on to all the time.
Sometimes when I can't sleep I do the 7in 11out count and it's like counting sheep. Thank you very much!

Hi forsee hope your doing ok, sorry to her about the interuption in treatment.

Hopefullly thats only what it is, an interruption
I can hear your train coming with new meds and its faster and more likely to reach the SVR station than the old ones.

Even with the new meds its nice to know one is responding to interferon .
Because  as you know this treatment is so tuff  for some of us that doing it and know for sure your gonna clear is a challenge enough, but have big ods not to clear  and still has to go though it, well you can just imagen.

Thx for sharing about your depression issue.
I know  a woman that descriped exactly the same type as you have and she says she bi-polar aswell but not the lithium kind.

Shes on ads, been for many years.
Unfortunately  doesnt seems to work fully, because shes also do self medication on alcohol which I only think willl do her more harm in the long run.

I will show her your description of the diseas, illnes dilemma. I  really don´t know what to call it.
Sure it will help her though always nice to know one is not alone!

Be well and good luck with everything!

thanks so much for your responses...I haven't been following this stuff too much...i guess I did for years and I needed a break...as far as the psych meds,

Trish: I know what you mean about having to do a lot of trial and error with antiDs and psych meds (for some unfortunate people anyway)...the people who are able to find an antiD that works for them the first try out are really lucky in my book...there is a depression forum here that I go to that is pretty good, I go there sometimes under another handle:) there are, I guess, many like me who have to try so many things before they can find the right one or recipe...

and then some of these people who suffer w/ depression are only helped a little while by certain meds, then have to change up after the it becomes ineffective, or up the dose, etc...or do cocktails of different things...or aren't helped by any of the meds, and they have to do actual ECT and other methodologies...electro convulsive treatment...it's extremely difficult for some people and my heart goes out to them...cause I know what severe depression is....

Merry: with me it's kind of like bi-polar, though fortunately for me it's periodic, and I don't go through extreme mania...but I'll be toodlin' down the road, happy as a Jaybird...and all of a sudden the blue-meanies come over me, you can tell it's chemical cause it comes out of nowhere and it's a big, dark cloud...and it's so intense sometimes, I've had to pull over my car and phone someone to pick me up...this can last for hours, sometimes days, sometimes weeks...horribly, sometimes months...then I'm okay again (well, as okay as I get, lol) and I know menopause and hep ain't making it any better....some of these meds I've tried have actually made the anxiety and depression a lot worse for me...so that's why it's such a scary undertaking for me...but I'm doing it...you live your life right? I'm very hopeful that I will find the right med(s)...

Thanks so much Bill, MO, The Florida Man, New York Woman, Orleans, The Guy Who Gets Things Done, Salin' Man, Sweet Bug Woman, The Woman Who Hears Epiphanies..Deb, Scratchy (what's that wink for?, why I oughta) Trish, everyone...sorry if I left anyone out...this whole board provides a great service...it's nice to come back here and have anyone remember me..

Hiya 4C,

It's good to see your post and read your words. A bit of healing there all in itself.

I'm glad your little test run yielded good information for you without causing too much damage.  Took my girlfriend years to find the right meds for her depression but when she did, the changes were noticeable.  Couldn't say it any better than Willing as to what your options are so basically.. what he said. :)  Boceprevir and Telaprevir look good and there are a couple polymerase inhibitors (not referring to R1626 - still waiting for the dust to settle on that one) that are coming along and with Alinia and a few other things, your options will be better and less damaging.

You certainly bring a blast of sunshine with you.  You'll have to drop in more often.

Take good care of yourself.

Trish
