A gripping narrative in the tradition of A Civil Action and Toms River
Working at the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company chemical plant in Niagara Falls, New York, was considered a good job. It was the kind of industrial manufacturing job that allowed blue-collar workers to thrive in the latter half of the 20th century-that allowed them to buy their own home, and maybe a boat for the lake.

I Used to Have Cancer How I Found My Own Way Back to Health


Free Download I Used to Have Cancer: How I Found My Own Way Back to Health by James Templeton, Dwight L. McKee MD
English | April 22, 2019 | ISBN: 0757004784 | 192 pages | PDF | 2.40 Mb
By all standards of success, James Templeton seemed to have it all. He was a highly successful businessman, had a beautiful wife and daughter, and, only in his early thirties, had his whole life in front of him. To avoid the same fate as his father and grandfather, who both died of heart attacks at a young age, James became an avid runner―a passion that he believed helped him stay fit and healthy. Imagine his shock when, during a routine physical, his doctor noticed a mole on his body that turned out to be a melanoma―a dangerous form of skin cancer. The mole was removed immediately and James, who was diligent in his follow-up exams, appeared to be cancer-free―but only for a short while. When the cancer reappeared and had spread, on the advice of his doctor, James followed the conventional medical protocol, which included surgery and chemotherapy. He was also involved in a clinical trial. When he learned that the treatments weren’t working, James was obviously devastated. He had reached a new low point in his life, and as he lay in the hospital bed, he prayed fervently for help. As if by some miracle, help came to James in the form of three different visitors who would change the course of his life―and help direct him on a path back to health.

An oncologist’s integrative path to treating and living better with or beyond cancer.
Dr. M. Laura Nasi presents a new way of looking at how we view and treat cancer. With current advances in medicine, we’re learning more about the ways different aspects of our lives and health impact and interact with one another – why does one long-term smoker get diagnosed with stage-four lung cancer while another remains cancer-free? Why does someone exposed to a known carcinogen get sick while someone else is apparently immune? What seemingly unrelated factors end up playing key roles in disease etiology, progression, and prognosis?

Une meilleure connaissance de l’épidémiologie, des caractéristiques pathologiques, des cibles moléculaires couplés à des progrès des moyens d’imagerie ont conduit à des évolutions considérables dans la prise en charge des cancer du rein. Les tumeurs localisées sont découvertes à un stade plus précoce. Le concept de surveillance active émerge. Des traitements mini-invasifs comme la cryothérapie ou la radiofréquence pour des cas sélectionnés sont maintenant accessibles. Les indications de la néphrectomie partielle ouverte élective s’élargissent et la néphrectomie partielle laparoscopique puis robotique sont en cours d’évaluation.
