Understanding Breast Cancer Treatment: Exploring Surgeries and Therapies

Breast cancer is a serious illness that requires careful treatment. There are different ways to treat breast cancer, including surgeries and therapies. In this article, we'll look at the types of surgeries and therapies used to treat breast cancer. We'll explain what they are, how they work, and why they're important.

Types of Surgeries:

Lumpectomy: A lumpectomy is a surgery where doctors remove the tumor and a small amount of surrounding healthy tissue from the breast. It's often used for early-stage breast cancer to help keep as much of the breast as possible.

Mastectomy: Mastectomy is when doctors remove the whole breast to treat breast cancer. There are different types of mastectomy, depending on how much tissue is removed.

Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy: This surgery helps doctors see if the cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes. Doctors find and remove a few lymph nodes to check for cancer cells.

Types of Therapies:

Radiation Therapy: Radiation therapy uses special beams to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. It's often used after surgery to make sure any leftover cancer cells are gone.

Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy is when patients take special drugs to kill cancer cells or stop them from growing. It's used before or after surgery to help get rid of cancer cells and prevent them from coming back.

Hormone Therapy: Hormone therapy blocks hormones that can make breast cancer grow. It's used for hormone-sensitive breast cancer to stop cancer cells from growing.

Targeted Therapy: Targeted therapy attacks specific parts of cancer cells to stop them from growing. It's a newer type of treatment that can be very effective for certain types of breast cancer. Combination Therapies:

Neoadjuvant Therapy: This therapy is given before surgery to shrink tumors and make them easier to remove. It helps make surgery more successful.

Adjuvant Therapy: Adjuvant therapy is given after surgery to help lower the risk of cancer coming back. It can include radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, or targeted therapy.

Conclusion: Breast cancer treatment is complex, but there are many ways to fight it. Surgeries and therapies play a big role in helping people beat breast cancer. By understanding the different types of surgeries and therapies available, patients and their doctors can work together to come up with the best treatment plan for each person. With the right treatment, many people with breast cancer can go on to live long, healthy lives.

Understanding Cervical Cancer Treatment in Hyderabad

Cervical cancer is a significant health issue for women in Hyderabad, India. However, with advancements in medical science, there are more treatment options available. Dr. Chinnababu, a renowned oncologist, is leading the way in providing effective treatments for cervical cancer patients in Hyderabad.

What is Cervical Cancer?

Cervical cancer starts in the cells of the cervix, the lower part of the uterus. It is usually caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), but other factors like smoking and weakened immune systems can also contribute. Early detection is crucial for successful treatment.

Diagnosis

In Hyderabad, doctors use various tests to diagnose cervical cancer. These include Pap smears, HPV testing, colposcopy, and biopsy. These tests help doctors determine the stage and severity of the cancer, which guides treatment decisions.

Treatment Options

Treatment for cervical cancer depends on the stage of the disease and the patient's overall health. In Hyderabad, patients have access to several treatment options:

Surgery: Surgery may be recommended for early-stage cervical cancer. It can involve removing the cancerous tissue or the entire uterus. Dr. Chinnababu specializes in minimally invasive surgeries, which have shorter recovery times and fewer complications.

Radiation Therapy: Radiation therapy uses high-energy rays to kill cancer cells. It can be delivered externally or internally through brachytherapy. Hyderabad has advanced radiation therapy equipment to deliver precise treatment.

Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer cells. It can be given alone or in combination with other treatments. Dr. Chinnababu designs personalized chemotherapy plans for each patient.

Targeted Therapy: Targeted therapy targets specific molecules involved in cancer growth. It can be used for advanced or recurrent cervical cancer. Immunotherapy is a type of targeted therapy that boosts the body's immune system to fight cancer cells.

Conclusion

Cervical cancer treatment in Hyderabad offers hope for patients. Dr. Chinnababu and his team are dedicated to providing the best care possible. If you or someone you know is diagnosed with cervical cancer, don't hesitate to seek medical advice and explore treatment options available in Hyderabad. Early detection and personalized treatment plans can improve outcomes and quality of life for cervical cancer patients.

In Memoriam

Before I proceed, I want to put warnings--content/trigger warnings. In this post, there will be references to cancer (also, fuck cancer), death, biological processes, grief/loss.

When we think of cancer, when we speak of it, I've noticed often times the phrase "evil", "monster", or some other dark term is used. Because it seems to be such a merciless, cruel thing to happen to people. It seems to strike without reason, taking the best and worst of us, young or old....

Today marks 18 years since my mother passed away from cervical cancer. She didn't have to die, not really. In a way, she chose to.

You see, my mother had an intense mistrust of "mainstream" medicine. I'm not sure where it came from, honestly. It was... it was a slow conversion. She kept turning to alternative means to treat problems, mainly our day-to-day diet (lord, we went vegan, Atkins-like before Atkins was widely known anyway), and various other kinds to "cure" our ailments, never accepting that some things can't be fixed by diet alone!). Then she kind of went off the deep end....

When she learned she had serious fibroids, she decided to try different "healing" creams to balance out her hormones, convinced it'd "dissolve" the fibroids. When she began to have heavy, intense bleeding, she chalked it up to the fibroids and not other issues.

Such as an abnormal pap smear test result... that she never followed up on.

It'd continue for years.

She even turned to an alternative doctor who told her yes, he saw the fibroids... but he also saw some seriously bad stuff. This doctor told my mother to go see her ob-gyn and get this checked out.

She wouldn't... up until she collapsed from the heavy bleeding in a grocery store bathroom stall. She finally turned to mainstream medicine, got it checked, got the biopsy....

It was Stage 2 cervical cancer.

She was referred to an oncologist. He, of course, brought up chemo and radiation. She refused, wanting to try alternative treatments first. He accused her of having a death wish (I was there, I wish I was joking!). He basically burned that bridge with that approach.

I can't help but think that... if he had said "Okay, I'll work with you. How about we monitor the cancer as you try it for a couple of months? If there's no improvement, will you try chemo and radiation then?"

Maybe she would've accepted it. I don't know.

So she turned to "mistletoe extract" injections. For a little bit, it looked like it was working. She was doing better.

Then... she developed increasing pain in her right leg. The doctor who originally told her to go see her ob-gyn stressed to her it was likely her cancer growing and getting worse. She didn't listen.

Then... she had increasing pain. Increasing issues. She got thinner... paler. She was so stubborn. There's numerous trips to the ER where they just prescribed her pain killers and sent her on her way. It took a referral to a specialist (I can't remember what they handled, maybe a different oncologist?)... and the blunt message.

"You're terminal."

I wept. My mother... she was just resigned. She transferred to home hospice care. She didn't want to die in a strange building. So my elder brother and I--we were living with her at the time--took turns caring for her.

She stopped eating. Stopped drinking. She's put on IV fluids and a kind of controlled dilaudid treatment. One night... it's as if she's aware. Her mind was going. She said her final goodbyes.

Then it's just her shell, her body, for two and a half weeks, that lingers, stubbornly. I'm the only one who was there who witnessed her last passage, the "death throes".

February 8, 2007. Just a few weeks shy of my 27th birthday.

She never got to see me graduate from college. She never got to see me married.... or divorced. She never saw me become a mother. She never saw me become a survivor, a fighter. So many things.

I have her eyes, I'm told. A deep brown with a starburst iris. My son has those eyes too. I resemble her greatly, I'm told. I don't have her curly hair... or her thinner nose.

Instead, she gave me her creativity, her love of art and writing. She loved books and reading. She loved cats as well, which I definitely inherited.

She had a lot of regrets... and sorrows.

I don't know if there is an afterlife. My relationship with God (or the Divine or whatever you want to call it) is complicated, to say the least. If there is, I hope I see her... and have the conversations we never had but should've while she was alive.

I miss you, mom. So very much.

Richard Fausset at The New York Times, via Seattle Times (03.31.2025):

Joe Grinsteiner is a gregarious online personality who touts the anti-parasitic drug ivermectin. In a recent Facebook video, he produced a tube of veterinary-grade ivermectin paste — the kind made for deworming horses. He gave the tube a squeeze. Then he licked a slug of the stuff, and gulped. “Yum,” Grinsteiner said in the Feb. 25 video, one of a number of ivermectin-related posts he has made that have drawn millions of views on Facebook this year. “Actually, that tastes like dead cancer.” Ivermectin, a drug proven to treat certain parasitic diseases, exploded in popularity during the pandemic amid false claims that it could treat or prevent COVID-19. Now — despite a persistent message from federal health officials that its medical benefits are limited — interest in ivermectin is rising again, particularly among American conservatives who are seeing it promoted by right-wing influencers. Grinsteiner, 54, is a President Donald Trump supporter and a country music performer who lives in rural Michigan. He has claimed in his videos that ivermectin cured his skin cancer, as well as his wife’s cervical cancer. In a video last month, he said a woman told him her nonverbal autistic child had become verbal after using ivermectin. In a recent phone interview, Grinsteiner said he takes a daily dose of ivermectin to maintain his general well-being. There is no evidence to support people taking ivermectin to treat cancer or autism. Yet Grinsteiner believes that the medical and political establishments just want to keep average people from discovering the healing powers of a relatively affordable drug. “These guys are absolutely money driven,” he said in one video. “And when I say ‘these guys,’ I’m talking about all those politicians in Washington taking money from the Big Pharma.” Indeed, ivermectin has become a sort of enduring pharmacological MAGA hat: a symbol of resistance to what some in the movement describe as an elitist and corrupt cabal of politicians, scientists and medical experts. Although many of those experts fear that misinformation about ivermectin could lead to overdoses — or prompt people to reject proven treatments for COVID or other ailments — conservative lawmakers in a number of states are promoting legislation that would allow ivermectin to be sold without a prescription, often in the name of medical freedom.

Last week, Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders signed a law allowing ivermectin to be sold over the counter . Other legislation is pending in at least six other states: Kentucky, West Virginia, Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama and Texas. In 2022, Tennessee passed a law making it easier to get ivermectin from a pharmacist. Trump’s health secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has in the past embraced the idea that ivermectin can treat COVID, but whether he might seek to integrate the drug into his “Make America Healthy Again” agenda remains unclear. Kennedy did not respond to a request for an interview for this article. But in 2021, he filed a petition with the Food and Drug Administration asking officials to de-authorize the COVID vaccine, arguing that ivermectin was safer. The FDA continues to emphasize that it has not authorized or approved ivermectin for treating COVID, noting on its website that “currently available clinical trial data do not demonstrate that ivermectin is effective against COVID-19 in humans.” [...] Right-wing media, however, is full of advertisements for the drug; some ads describe it as an essential component of survivalist tool kits. The website Gateway Pundit recently ran a sponsored post from an online company that offers prescription ivermectin for “stockpiling” purposes, with an illustration of a postapocalyptic street scene. Two major figures in the MAGA movement — former Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., and Dan Bongino, deputy director of the FBI — have promoted All Family Pharmacy, an online outfit that dispenses ivermectin with “a prescription from our licensed doctors.” “No more fighting the system for the treatments you want,” Bongino said on an episode of his popular podcast, one of his last before starting at the FBI. “Stock up now before the next crisis hits.” [...] “The ivermectin story fits within a very, very long tradition in America of people latching on to nonorthodox therapies based in part on their suspicion that, for profit-maximizing reasons, drug companies and physicians are suppressing truth about them,” Grossman said. Grinsteiner said he was familiar with ivermectin because he runs a small farm and uses it on some of his livestock. Suspicious of the COVID vaccine, he decided to take ivermectin preventively during the pandemic instead. His wife did too. [...] He made his first Facebook video about his experience with ivermectin in January. “It was like, maybe a minute video, and I went to bed,” he said. “And I woke up and my phone was just melting.” Facebook briefly suspended his account, then reinstated it. The company has appended to some of his videos links to a “context” page from fact-checking group Science Feedback. The page notes that ivermectin and another anti-parasitic drug, mebendazole, have shown “promising anticancer effects in in vitro and animal studies. However, preclinical studies cannot reliably predict a drug’s effectiveness against cancer in humans, and drug candidates that show effectiveness in cells and animals often fail in clinical trials.”

Ivermectin’s rise in acceptance in right-wing and conspiracy theorist circles, as influencers such as Joe Grinsteiner, Matt Gaetz, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. have given praise to the drug as a quack “cure” for COVID, cancer, and other diseases, will have harmful consequences.

Yesterday was my sixth month post-op date.

On the one hand it's been absolutely wild to me that I went through such a major surgery and returned to living my normal life almost two months out from the surgery. But at the same time, I'm still dealing with some issues. And any time I start to get frustrated I have to remind myself that I had organs removed, scar tissue and endo lesions cut out, an ovary drained, and cysts removed. That takes *time* to heal, and sometimes it's that last 5% that takes the longest.

Scar tissue has formed again, which I knew would happen. I can feel it pulling on my left side when I breath to deep or move in a certain way. I can also feel it behind my belly button, tugging away now and again to remind me of the surgery. I can still feel gas bubbles sliding over my old sutures and that hurts. Like. A lot. My lower half still gets sore now and again, especially after walking for too long or sitting for too long. I think I'm gonna go to a pelvic floor therapist soon, but I keep balking at the price.

As for my health? Better in some respects, but much the same in others. I don't regret the surgery in the slightest - not having to worry about bleeding ever again, dramatically decreasing my risk for ovarian cancer, and completely eliminating cervical cancer chances is a great boon. And my digestion feels way better - I can actually eat spicy food!

But a part of me wishes that this was a cure, even though I knew it wasn't. I'm sometimes struck with the reality that this is a *lifelong* condition, and even removing organs and lesions and other detritus isn't a cure. But I also take care to remember that we're on the frontier of endo treatment - it's going to get better and better with each passing year. At least, I have to hope it will. And maybe in the future there will be a cure, and maybe they'll be people who are diagnosed after me that won't have to resort to the extremes I did to get some relief. Maybe one day it'll be as easy as getting a preventative vaccine, and people won't ever be diagnosed with this disease.

As for now, I continue to heal, to educate, and to support. I open myself up to questions from anyone and everyone, trying to dispel some of the myths and satisfy people's curiosity. I should get a shirt that says 'Ask Me About my Vaginal Cuff'.

And for those who have been supporting me these last six months - thank you 💗

[i-cant-sing]

I resume to get a pap smear. Even if Theo learns how to do it. He can’t make me get one.

Alright, but if u get cervical cancer or something, he's definitely finding the cure for cancer and you can't say no

We at *BP family in the pass post a story of Mrs Henrietta Lacks story and how she and her family for generation were robbed by the scientific community for decades. The most important information to take away is that a single BLACK WOMAN DNA has contributed to modern medical breakthroughs and cures, and is still ongoing. There are a myriad of scientific developments due to Mrs Lacks -HELA CELLS as them called it. We are please to see that the family is getting restitution and reparations from yet again being robbed by them and covering up as them taken the credit and leaving the Black community/family in the dark and high and dry. We will reblog the original post.

ONCE AGAIN A BLACK WOMEN IS THE MOTHER OF INVENTION

Family of Henrietta Lacks settles lawsuit with biotech giant, lawyer says

The family of Henrietta Lacks, a Black woman whose cancer cells were used without permission to form the basis of decades of scientific research, has reached a settlement with the biotech company Thermo Fisher Scientific.

The cells, known as HeLa cells, were taken from Lacks without her knowledge or consent in 1951 when she was seeking cervical cancer treatment at Johns Hopkins, in Baltimore. Doctors discovered that the cells doubled every 20 to 24 hours in the lab instead of dying. They were the first human cells that scientists successfully cloned, and they have been reproduced infinitely ever since.

Lacks herself died in 1951, but her cells continued to be used after her death in research that led to a series of medical advancements, including in the development of the polio vaccine and in treatments for cancer, HIV/AIDS, leukemia and Parkinson's disease. Lacks' family only found out about it decades later.

Lacks' story reached millions of Americans through the nonfiction bestseller "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks," which was made into an HBO movie starring Oprah Winfrey as Lacks' daughter, Deborah.

In 2021, Lacks' estate filed a lawsuit against Thermo Fisher Scientific, alleging that the company was mass producing and selling tissue taken from Lacks even after it became well-known that the materials had been taken from her without her consent. The suit was filed exactly 70 years after Lacks' death.

"Thermo Fisher Scientific has known that HeLa cells were stolen from Ms. Lacks and chose to use her body for profit anyway," the lawsuit alleged. It has been previously reported that Thermo Fisher Scientific said they generate about $35 billion in annual revenue. In the lawsuit, Lacks' estate asked that the company "disgorge the full amount of its net profits obtained by commercializing the HeLa cell line to the Estate of Henrietta Lacks."

The suit also sought an order stopping the company from using the HeLa cells without the estate's permission. The terms of Tuesday's settlement were not made public, but Crump said in a news conference that both parties were "pleased" to have resolved the matter outside of court, CBS Baltimore reported.

SOME CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE HELA CELLS

-HeLa cells were first used to study the growth and spread of poliomyelitis virus, the cure of Polio

-HeLa cells have also been instrumental in the development of Human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccines.

-Over the years, HeLa cells have been infected with various types of viruses including HIV, Zika, herpes, and mumps

-HeLa cells have been used in a number of cancer studies, including those involving sex steroid hormones such as estradiol, estrogen, and estrogen proliferation.

-Hela cells contribute to scientists Joe Hin Tjio and Albert Levan to develop better techniques for staining and counting chromosomes.This was important for the study of developmental disorders such as down syndrome that involved the number of chromosomes.

-HeLa cells were sent on the first satellite and human space missions to determine the long term effects of space travel on living cells and tissue.

-HeLa cell line was derived for use in cancer research. and human papillomavirus 18 (HPV18) to human cervical cells created the HeLa genome, which is different from Henrietta Lacks’ genome in various ways,

-The complete genome of the HeLa cells was sequenced and published on 11 March 2013[46][47] without the Lacks family’s knowledge

-HeLa cells as a tool to uncover the machinery required and process used for invasion of human cells. Researchers have also investigated the stability of the virus’s genomic material in HeLa cells by comparing its genomic material with that of many other viruses. The use of HeLa cells in COVID-19 research has provided insights on the molecular mechanics of SARS-CoV-2019 and the components required for infection.

A LASTING CONTRIBUTION TO THE WORLD

When Henrietta Lacks and her cells alerted the world to the existence of immortal human cells, opportunities arose for research and medical treatment development.

Today, her cells continue to serve academic and industrial institutions. So much so that she has been described as the Mother of Modern Medicine in a painting by artist Kadir Nelson in 2017.

The use of HeLa cells in COVID-19 research is a testament to Henrietta Lacks’s lasting contribution to provide microscopic tools for scientific discoveries that billions have benefitted from thus far and will benefit from in the future to come.

Vitamin C and Nutrition The objective of this work is to research Vitamin C in regards to nutrition and to discuss the articles reviewed for this purpose discussing the similarities and differences in the articles. Naidu (2003) The work of Naidu (2003) entitled: "Vitamin C in Human Health and Disease is Still a Mystery?: An Overview" states "L-ascorbic acid (C6H8O6) is the trivial name of Vitamin C" ( ) Ascorbic acid is stated to be "widely distributed in fresh fruits and vegetables. It is present in fruits like oranges, lemons, grapefruit, watermelon, papaya, strawberries, cantaloupe, mango, pineapple, raspberries and cherries. It is also found in green leafy vegetables, tomatoes, broccoli, green and red peppers, cauliflower and cabbage." (Naidu, 2003) Ascorbic acid is "one of the most important water soluble vitamins" and it is essential for "collagen, carnitine and neurtransamitters biosynthesis." (Naidu, 2003) Historically it is related that those who voyaged the sea "developed a peculiar disease called scurvy when they were on sea. This was found to be due to eating non-perishable items and lack of fresh fruits and vegetables in their diet. A British naval Physician, Lind documented that there was some substance in citrus fruits that can cure scurvy. He developed a method to concentrate and preserve citrus juice for use by sailors. British Navy was given a daily ration of lime or lemon juice to overcome ascorbic acid deficiency. Ascorbic acid was first isolated from natural sources and structurally characterized by Szent-Gyorgyi, Waugh and King. This vitamin was first synthesized by Haworth and Hirst. Currently ascorbic acid is the most widely used vitamin supplement through out the world." (Naidu, 2003) While the majority of plants and animals "synthesize ascorbic acid from D-glucose of D-galactose…" and most of animals produce "relatively high levels of ascorbic acid from glucose in liver" it is stated that humans, as well as guinea pigs, apes, and fruit eating bats "can not synthesize ascorbic acid due to the absence of the enzyme L-gulonolactone oxidase." (Naidu, 2003) Recommended average daily intake levels sufficient in meeting ascorbic acid nutritional requirements are 90 milligrams per day for men over the age of 19 and 75 milligrams per day for women over the age of 19. Individuals who smoke should consume approximately 120 milligrams each day to "maintain cellular saturation and optimum risk reduction of heart disease, stroke and cancer in health individuals." (Naidu, 2003) Naidu reports that there is absolutely no evidence that exists that supports the idea that excess doses of Vitamin C are toxic and as well there is no evidence to clearly link excess Vitamin C to formation of kidney stones, pro-oxidant effects or excess iron absorption. Vitamin C is however, know to be very beneficial in preventing and relieving symptoms of the common cold. Vitamin C is vital in would healing processes and the healing and regeneration process since Vitamin C "stimulates collagen synthesis." (Naidu, 2003) In fact, Naidu (2003) state that the recommendation to hasten the process of healing calls for "administration of 500 mg to 1.0 gram per day" of Vitamin C Naidu states that there have been extensive "animal, clinical and epidemiological studies" conducted examining the role of ascorbic acid in preventing various kinds of cancer. Findings show "A mixture of ascorbic acid and cupric sulfate significantly inhibited human mammary tumor growth in mice, while administered orally. Ascorbic acid decreased the incidence of kidney tumors by estradiol or diethylstilbesterol in hamsters due to decrease in the formation of genotoxic metabolites viz., diethylstilbesterol-4'-4"-qunione." (2003) Additionally stated in the findings of ascorbic acid and its effect on cancer is Low intake of ascorbic acid and other vitamins were associated with an increased risk of cervical cancer in two of three studies reported." (Naidu, 2003) II Harvard School of Public Health (2009 ) The Harvard School of Public Health reports in the work entitled: "The Nutrition Source: Vitamin C" that Vitamin C was discovered in 1932 however, long before this experts of nutrition realized that there was something that citrus fruits contained that worked to prevent scurvy. It is known that Vitamin C "plays a role in controlling infections" and that Vitamin C is a "powerful antioxidant that can neutralize harmful free radicals" and as well Vitamin C helps the body make collagen. This work by the Harvard School of public health states that while small trails have indicated that the amount of vitamin C contained in a typical multivitamin and taken in the beginning of the development of a cold "might ease symptoms" however, for the "average person, there's no evidence that megadoses make a difference or that they prevent colds." (2009) It is related as well that studies examining Vitamin C supplements and "heart disease, cancer, and eye diseases such as cataract and macular degeneration also show no clear patterns." (Harvard School of Public Health, 2009) III. Block, et al. (2008) The work of Block et al. (2008) entitled: "Vitamin C in Plasma is Inversely Related to Blood Pressure and Change in Blood Pressure During the Previous Year in Young Black and White Women" states "The prevalence of hypertension and its contribution to cardiovascular disease risk makes it imperative to identify factors that may help prevent this disorder. Extensive biological and biochemical data suggest that plasma ascorbic acid may be such a factor. In this study we examined the association between plasma ascorbic acid concentration and blood pressure (BP) in young-adult women." Block et al. reports a study involving 242 young women. Findings stated by Block et al. (2008) is that the study conducted found "…ascorbic acid concentration to be inversely associated with systolic and diastolic BP in young-adult Black and White women, independent of race, BMI, education, diet, and lifestyle factors. A 1 mg/dL (56.8 ?mol/L) increase in plasma ascorbic acid levels was associated with 4.1 mmHg lower systolic blood pressure and 4.0 mmHg lower diastolic blood pressure. Plasma ascorbic acid levels in this cohort ranged from 0.22 to 3.13 mg/dL (12.5 to 177.8 ?mol/L), indicating that a 1 mg/dL change in plasma ascorbic acid level is achievable in this young population." It was also found that ascorbic acid concentration in plasma was also "inversely and significantly associated with change" in the blood pressure during the previous year." (Block, et al., 2008) Analysis The facts regarding Vitamin C and its nutritional value are clearly examined more thoroughly in the work of Naidu (2003) than in the article published by the Harvard School of Public Health. Naidu not only examines the precise dosages for healthy individuals as well as for those who smoke. Naidu (2003) also examines the benefits of Vitamin C intake to those who have had surgery or who are otherwise healing from some type of injury and notes the impact that Vitamin C has on the body's ability to form collagen. In fact, the Harvard School of Public Health article is quite flippant about the importance of Vitamin C intake and this is particularly surprising considering the powerful impact that Vitamin C intake has on the prevention of not only the common cold but other diseases and even cancer. The importance of Vitamin C intake for the individual's nutritional requirements is further exacerbated in the work of Block, et al.

I was going to talk about the two patients with vertebral artery dissections and one with a severe cervical ligament sprain after being "treated" by chiropractors that I have seen in the last two months alone, but I was reminded of The CAM Brainrot Patient instead

For background, I am an Emergency Medicine physician. Also, and relevant to the story, I have Raynaud's, a syndrome of poor blood circulation in the hands and feet, so my hands are often cold.

Several years ago, I saw a patient with severe neck pain without a history of trauma. After imaging, it was discovered that she had fractured three vertebra in her cervical spine, one severely enough that she needed surgery. The reason? They were what's called "pathologic" fractures, which are fractures you get (generally with no or minimal trauma) when your bones have been severely weakened from cancer.

It turned out that eight years before, she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. As is often the case with breast cancer, it was early in the course, and she could have been treated solely with surgery, with the option of adjudicative chemotherapy to reduce the likelihood of recurrence. Instead, she decided to go the CAM route, and treated her cancer solely with "natural" medicine, eschewing all allopathic medicine (and surgery). By the time I saw her, the cancer was metastatic -- it had spread throughout her body, into all her organs and bones. A death sentence, even if she decided on maximal therapy at that time.

I don't remember her just because it's a tragic case that could have been completely avoided. I remember her because, as I started to examine her, I apologized for my cold hands, as I often do. "I have poor circulation in my hands," I said. "I apologize for how cold they are."

"Oh, you know what you need to take for poor circulation?" she said. She then proceeded to spend the next five minutes earnestly telling me about all the herbs and supplements I could take to improve my circulation and "treat" my Raynaud's. "This will be way better than anything you could get at a doctor's office" she told me, with what appeared to be complete sincerity.

And I just -- stared at her. In complete bafflement. I still stare into the middle distance in complete bafflement whenever I think of her. This is a woman who decided to take only "natural" treatments for her cancer and was going to die from it, and even then, even lying in a hospital bed in a cervical collar because her goddamn neck was broken because of her metastatic, previously treatable cancer, she was trying to convince me that if only I took enough turmeric, I would cure a condition that is well understood by modern medical science and already has a treatment that is known to be effective.*

I just. The CAM brainrot was just that deep. The mind boggles.

*Calcium channel blockers.

When you say you're anti-CAM what does that mean? Like what does CAM mean in that context? I genuinely haven't seen that acronym before and I'm assuming you aren't anti-camming as in like the form of sex work

Complimentary and Alternative Medicine.

I am capable of turning off my inner annoying atheist, I am incapable of turning off my inner annoying quackwatcher.

I have had real life fights with people I genuinely love about this and I do not regret it. I will absolutely not regret shitting all over someone's $500 herbalist certification.

Treatment for HPV and Cervical Cancer Therapies

Getting diagnosed with HPV or cervical cancer can feel overwhelming but the good news is, there are effective treatments. With early diagnosis and appropriate treatment, many women heal completely. In this blog, we take you through the treatment for HPV and cervical cancer therapies and what each involves and how they help.

What You Should Know about HPV and Cervical Cancer

HPV (Human Papillomavirus) is amongst the most common virus. Most sexually active people will contract it at some point in their lives, but in most cases it will resolve on its own. However, certain high-risk varieties of HPV can create differences in the cervix, and over time, these changes can transform into cervical cancer.

Regular Pap smears and HPV tests are important for catching these changes in their earliest stages. Finding abnormal cells in the cervix before they become cancer enables less-invasive treatment and survival.

Treatment for HPV

There’s no cure for the virus itself, but the good news is that the immune system typically clears the virus on its own. If HPV leads to genital warts or abnormal cervical cells, doctors might advise:

Cryotherapy – Freezing abnormal cells, warts

Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP) – A thin wire loop is used to remove abnormal cells

Laser Therapy – Eliminating or disposing of infected tissue using light

These procedures are commonly performed in outpatient settings and are minimally invasive.

Cervical Cancer Therapies

Once cervical cancer is diagnosed, treatment varies based on the stage of the disease and how far it has spread. Cervical cancer treatments include:

Surgery

Conization: A cone-shaped piece of abnormal tissue is removed

Hysterectomy: Uterus is removed along with cervix, which may be necessary in advanced stages

Radiation Therapy

Uses powerful rays to kill cancer cells. Typically used alongside chemotherapy to improve results

Chemotherapy

Drugs that kill or stop the growth of cancer cells. It can be administered alone or with radiation.

Targeted Therapy

These medications block the growth of cancer by interfering with specific molecules needed for cell processes.

Immunotherapy

Energizes the body’s immune system to identify and kill cancer. It is commonly used for recurrent or advanced cervical cancer.

Recovery and Follow-Up

Please note that recovery times vary after treatment for HPV and cervical cancer therapies. It is important to have follow-up care to watch for recurrence and manage residual side effects. Patients should go for regular checkups, lead a healthy lifestyle, and ask for emotional support if needed.

Prevention is Key

Treatment options are highly effective, but prevention remains the best medicine. You can shield yourself and your family via:

HPV vaccine — (recommended for boys and girls ages 9–26, and in some cases, 27+)

Routine Screenings — Pap smears and HPV tests catch problems early

Safe Sexual Practices — Decreasing sexual partners and utilizing protection will reduce risk

Cervical Cancer Prevention: Why the HPV Vaccine Matters

Lotus Multi Speciality Hospital

HPV Vaccine: Stay Healthy with Yourself against Cervical Cancer You do know that cervical cancer can be prevented by vaccine, don’t you? Most of the female cancers are cervical cancers, but thank God that cervical cancer prevention is as easy as taking the HPV vaccine. HPV vaccine can be used for prevention of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection causing most of the cervical cancers. Prevention through the medium of vaccination is preventive medicine cover implemented as a routine screening measure.

What is HPV Vaccine HPV vaccine is a cancer preventive virus. It is made up of two to three doses based on age. Immunization has to be taken prior to being exposed to any virus and preferably in adolescence.

How HPV Vaccine Keeps One Away from Cervical Cancer HPV still causes abnormal changed cervix growth and consequently cancer. It is not possible for the body to be a victim of having been infected with the virus in the first place before infecting and killing the body. The greater percentage of people in a nation that are vaccinated, the lesser percentage of the nation’s population becomes a victim of cervical cancer because it has been clinically proven.

Whom to give HPV Vaccine HPV vaccine must be given to: Girl and boy children of the age group 9–14 years — Ideal time for immunization. Young adults and youths of the age group 15–26 years — Must be given if not given already. Age up to 45 years — There would be some window period advantage in this patient population. Whether or not to give would be physician’s discretion.

It is not a concern if the individual is already infected with HPV. The vaccine will be effective against infection from other high-risk virus types.

Screening for Cervical Cancer: Get an Early Start Early detection screening is still needed even when immunization is done.

Pap smear must be repeated every 3 years in women aged 21–29 years for the detection of abnormal cervical cells. 30–65 yrs women women need Pap test + HPV test every 5 yrs for maximum protection.

Early detection provides the greatest individual protection in utilizing the opportunity for cure with success and prevention of complications.

HPV vaccine duration? HPV vaccine has already been demonstrated to last beyond 10–15 years. Its protection will be lifelong as well, insist experts. There will be no need for booster with high vaccine efficacy.

Is HPV Vaccine Safe? Do Side Effects Happen? Yes! HPV vaccine is extremely safe and highly recommended by global public health institutions including World Health Organization (WHO) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Just as is the case with any other vaccine, some mild short-term side effects may happen and are: ✔ Brief mild pain, redness, or swelling where the vaccine was given. ✔ Headache, fever, or tiredness. ✔ Dizziness or nausea, both of which will be temporary in most cases.

There are no side effects of concern, and the benefit of the vaccine well outweighs risk.

Take Charge of Your Health Today It is easy to prevent cervical cancer, and one of the best methods of reducing your risk is to get the HPV vaccine. Additional protection and reassurance can be gained through screening tests and immunization.
