Palliative Cancer Care in The Dog And Cat
Easing the Pain and Discomfort of Canine and Feline Tumors & Cancers
When a dog or cat is diagnosed with cancer, pet owners are faced with difficult decisions regarding care for the sick pet. While cure of the cancer or tumor would be optimal, treatment of tumors and cancers in animals is sometimes not very rewarding or successful. Often, pet owners are faced with trying to maintain the pet’s quality of life. Palliative cancer care helps pet owners achieve this goal.
Goals of Palliative Cancer Treatment for Dogs and CatsPalliative cancer treatment for dogs and cats has two goals:
Relieving pain associated with the tumor or cancer for both canine and feline patients
Relieving or reducing other components of suffering related to the tumor or cancer, including weakness, nausea, respiratory distress and other symptoms directly related to the cancer or tumor.
Pain Control is an Important Goal of Palliative Canine and Feline Cancer Care
Canine and feline cancers and tumors can be quite painful for the affected pet. Pain control is important to maintain the quality of life for these animals.
Potential medications used to relieve pain for canine and feline patients suffering cancers and tumors include:
non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) medications. Piroxicam is a commonly used NSAID in tumors and cancers, but there are a number of other NSAID medications as well.
tramadol
gabapentin
steroids such as dexamethasone, prednisone, prenisolone and others
opioids such as Fentanyl
Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy as Palliative Cancer Care in Dogs and Cats
Chemotherapy and radiation therapy are both options which can palliate many of the symptoms of canine and feline cancer. Even when chemotherapy or radiation therapy is not effective in eradicating the tumor or cancer for the dog or cat, it may be possible to slow the progression of the disease or reduce clinical symptoms resulting from the cancer or tumor by using chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
The best treatment will depend on the type of cancer or tumor diagnosed and the physical condition of the individual cat or dog. A consultation with the pet’s veterinarian will be necessary to determine whether chemotherapy, radiation therapy or a combination of the two is most appropriate for the pet.
Complementary or Alternative Medicine Alternatives as Palliative Cancer Care Options for Dogs and CatsComplementary or alternative medicine techniques may offer additional care options for palliative cancer care in dogs and cats suffering from cancers and tumors.
Complementary or alternative medicine methods may include:
acupuncture
acupressure
herbal therapy
aromatherapy
other modalities
As with chemotherapy and radiation therapy, the appropriate medical treatment will depend on the dog or cat’s individual diagnosis and clinical signs.
Multi-Modal Therapy for Palliative Cancer Care in Canine and Feline Cancers and Tumors
Multi-modal therapy, incorporating two or more of the above treatment options is often the best method of providing effective palliative cancer care for dogs and cats suffering from cancers and tumors.
Multi-modal therapy allows reduced dosages of medications, making the drugs safer for the pet, as well as affording the highest level of comfort for the dog or cat.
Setting Goals for Palliative Cancer Care in Dogs and Cats
The most important part of providing palliative cancer care for a canine or feline patient suffering from a cancer or tumor is maintaining an adequate quality of life for the dog or cat. Setting goals prior to the initiation of a palliative cancer care plan is important to be certain that the best interests of the dog or cat are always the primary focus.
Goals and expectations should be considered before or shortly after starting palliative treatment for any dog or cat suffering from cancer. It should always be remembered that the pet’s quality of life is the primary concern. When quality of life can no longer be maintained with palliative cancer care, it is time to move forward and give the pet the gift of freedom from pain and suffering by performing a humane euthanasia.

Heart Attack Treatment Tips
Heart attack treatment has remained a common talk of the world as there is overall belief that no healthcare delivery facility is ideal for proper management of heart attacks. The good news is that heart attack treatment and prevention are available to people who are ready to adhere to certain precautionary measures.
All said and done, the few most important things one needs to do when ever heart attack symptoms are identified is to give the right first aid to the patient, before any medical assistance arrives. There are some important once we shall discuss. Fist and foremost, the patient needs to relax and come out of stress.
Cayenne strengthens every blood vessel in the body including tiny capillaries that bring nutrients and oxygen to every cell and remove the toxic waste products from the cells. Hot peppers even keep the blood from sticking together preventing dangerous clots.
All of these actions help cayenne prevent heart attacks and strokes. Herbalists agree that hot peppers are the number one herb for the heart.
Your diet can be a big factor in your risk for a heart attack. A diet high in saturated fat and cholesterol can narrow your hearts arteries. Instead eat heart healthy meals with lots of fruits and vegetables and omega 3-fatty acids. Along with diet and exercise, managing stress, and doing things like not smoking and limiting your alcohol intake can assist in the prevention and treatment for a heart attack.
Chest discomfort – this occurs in the center of the chest and may last a few minutes. It feels like uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain. This discomfort may also be mild or severe and it may come and go. Discomfort can also extend to other parts of the body such as both arms, the back, neck, jaw and even the stomach.
Diets control is another noteworthy factor in the cure and treatment of a heart attack. Prescribed diets are those that limit calories. Also the restrictions in sodium and cholesterol intake are very important. The physical educator can work with the dietician in teaching the patient suffering from heart disease the rationale of the diet as well as helping him plan appetising menus that conform to the diet prescription.
In medical terms, a heart attack is called myocardial infarction, since there is no blood supply to the cells of the heart muscle – myocardium. It is also called coronary thrombosis or coronary occlusion. The forming of plaque is called atherosclerosis. This process of plaque building up occurs even from the childhood stage, often in an asymptomatic manner.
Eat healthy in combination with exercise. It is important to eat foods that are low in cholesterol and saturated fat. The in take of omega-3 fatty acids reduces the chances of sudden death. It is also important to eat on time and in small portions. Skipping meals leads to heartburn, which causes unnecessary complications. A low amount of spice, salt and fatty substances ensures a healthier heart.
Before the patient is discharged from the hospital, a treadmill test and angiography is performed to verify if the patient is experiencing pain. A rehabilitation course is prescribed that helps in healing the heart faster. These include lifestyle changes, medication, and tips to lead stress-free lives.
“‘keladi Tikus”‘ Cure Cancer And Tumor Disease
Cancer Again It’s Not Harmful
Cancer is no longer lethal.The cancer patients in Indonesia can
have a longer life expectancy with the discovery of plant
“keladi tikus” (Typhonium flagelliforme / Rodent Tuber) as a plant
drugs that can stop and treat various diseases and cancer
other serious diseases.
Kind of taro plants with maximum height of 25 to 30 cm is only
grow on bushes that are not exposed to direct sunlight.”Plants
This is usually found on the island of Java, “said Drs.Patoppoi Pasau,
The first person who found the plant in Indonesia ..
Medicinal plants have been studied since 1995 by Prof. Dr. Chris
KHTeo, Dip Agric (M), BSc Agric (Hons) (M), MS, PhD from Universiti
Sains Malaysia and also the founder of Cancer Care Penang, Malaysia.Institutions
cancer treatment which was founded in 1995 that has helped thousands
patients from Malaysia, America, Britain, Australia, New Zealand,
Singapore, and various countries in the world.
In Indonesia, the plant was first discovered by Patoppoi in
Pekalongan, Central Java.At that time, the wife Patoppoi cancer
breast stage III and had to have surgery January 14, 1998.After
cancer is removed through surgery, the wife must Patoppoi
undergoing chemotherapy (injection of chemicals to kill the cell, Red) to
stop the spread of cancer cells.
“Prior to chemotherapy, doctors told us
prepare a wig (wigs) because the chemotherapy would lead to
hair loss, in addition to skin damage and loss of appetite, “
Patoppoi clear.
During accompany her to chemotherapy, continue Patoppoi
trying to find an alternative treatment until he finally get
information regarding the use of Qi Lin tea in Malaysia for treating
cancer.”At that time I also fly to Malaysia for buy
tea, “
Patoppoi who also said a biologist.When it was in a
shop
medicine in Malaysia, he accidentally saw and read a book
about cancer treatment, entitled Cancer, Yet They Live essay
Dr Chris K.H.Teo issue of 1996.
“After I read at a glance, I just bought the book.
Once I found the book, so I did not even buy tea Lin Qi,
but immediately returned to Indonesia, “recalled Patoppoi with a smile.
In that book Patoppoi read Typhonium flagelliforme properties.
Based on his knowledge in the fields of biology, retired officials
Ministry of Agriculture immediately investigate and search for plants
them.After contacting several colleagues at various places,
relatives in Pekalongan, Central Java, to call back.Apparently,
they found the plant there.After getting the plant
and learn more, Patoppoi contact Dr.Teo in
Malaysia to ask for the truth of the plants he found it.
After a few days, Dr Teo contact Patoppoi and explained that
these plants are really Rodent Tuber.”Dr Teo said that
no doubt for use as a medicine, “
Advanced Patoppoi.
Finally, with determination and prayer for healing, Patoppoi start
processing plant in accordance with the steps in the book
The
to be drunk as medicine.Then Patoppoi contact her son,
Boni Patoppoi in Buduran, Sidoarjo to go find a plant
them.
“After seeing the characteristics of these plants, I started looking at
river front of the house and immediately I get these plants
grows wild in
edge of the river, “said Boni who accompanied his father at that time.
As long as these plants consume juice, wife Patoppoi experience
decrease the side effects of chemotherapy she lived.Her hair stopped
falling out, skin is not damaged and the nausea disappeared.”Even appetite
My mother was back to normal, “said Boni.
After three months of taking the drug, the wife Patoppoi undergo
cancer examination.”The examination result is negative, and it really
surprised us and the doctors in Jakarta, “said Patoppoi. The
physicians were then asked to Patoppoi, what is given in
wife.”In fact, they doubt if they had been wrong to give
dose chemotherapy to us, “continued Patoppoi.
Having explained the story Rodent Tuber plant, physicians
also supports the treatment and suggested that
develop it.Furthermore according to the state of his wife who did not
experiencing side effects of chemotherapy is very hard.And
examination should be three months
postponed to six months. “But for one thing, the
doctors do not want to support openly the use of
plants as
alternative medicine, “Boni said, laughing.
After a while not related, based on improvements
state of his wife, in April 1998, Patoppoi then contact
Dr.Teo
by fax untukmenginformasik of that plant is widely available
in Java and
invite Dr.Teo to spread the use of this plant in Indonesia.
Then Dr. ..Teo directly reply to fax us, but they do not know
what they should do, because of long distances, “continued Patoppoi.
Although Patoppoi propose that their book is translated in
Indonesiadan language widely disseminated in Indonesia, Dr.Teo recommend
for both parties to work together and concentrate on business
real help cancer patients in Indonesia.
Then, in late January 2000 when Java runs out of the Post review
Wir Wing yanto death, one reporter reliable Java
Postage, Patoppoi was surprised.Detailed data about symptoms,
pain, treatment is reviewed in the Java Post, was the same as
one colon cancer treatment experiences described
in the book.And experimental treatment
successfully cure the patient.
“Then I immediately wrote the column in Java Post Readers Writing,”
Boni said.
And the responses received is really beyond expectations.Within a day,
be about 30 phone calls.”Until now, there are already around
300 people
who come here, “said Boni which is located at Jl. KH. Khamdani,
Buduran Sidoarjo.
The first patient is a patient who managed to Cervical Cancer
early stages.After review, the doctor said to have an operation.
But because not yet have a cost and while waiting for his behavior
sold
for operating costs, they come after reading the Java Pos.
Once given the plant and how to drink it, not long after the patient
came back and reported that he did not need an operation,
because the results say negative.
Based on public interest around a very tall, Patoppoi
trying to meet Dr.Teo directly.The assistance director
General of Drug and Food Control Ministry of Health, Sampurno,
Patoppoi to see Dr.Teo in Penang, Malaysia.In the central office
Cancer Care Penang, Malaysia, Patoppoi get further information
current research on plants that were found to have the name of Indonesia ..
Apparently when Patoppoi get the book “Cancer, Yet They Live” edition
revision 1999, fax he sent on to include in the book,
and experience
his wife in an attempt to fight against cancer.From the conversation
them, Dr.Teo recommends establishing Patoppoi
Cancer Care representatives in Jakarta and Surabaya.So officially,
Patoppoi and his son appointed as representatives of social institutions Cancer
Care Indonesia, which is also mentioned in the monthly bulletin of Cancer Care,
ie in
Jl.Kayu Putih 4 No..5, Jakarta, tel.62-21-4894745,
and in Buduran, Sidoarjo.
Cancer Care Malaysiatelah develop forms
treatment is more sophisticated.They have been producing
” keladi tikus”r extract
in pill form and powder tea combined with various
pla other with a certain dose.”The dose required
depending on the illness, “said Boni.
To get the drug, the patient must fill out a form
asking the patient and his condition and symptoms will be sent by fax
to Dr.Teo.”The form can be filled here, and we will fax out.
Then Dr.Teo will personally send a recipe as well
medicine, with prices direct from Malaysia, about 40-60 Ringgit
Malaysia, “said Boni.
“So the patient pays only the cost of fax and medicine, we do not attract
advantage,
even for the less able, can provide an extension Dr.Teo
time of payment.”He added.
Actually these treatments are also supported and being tested by one
a senior doctor in Surat, in patients with cancer
kidney.Adadua patients being treated physicians who had served
as director of one of the largest hospitals in Surabayaini.Patients
The first
cervical cancer had not given the treatment with rat taro,
for
handled by fellow physicians who already have a reputation.After
undergoing chemotherapy and radiology, the patient is experiencing hair loss
Hair, damaged and itchy skin, and always vomiting.
But in the second patient who suffered from kidney cancer, this doctor
handle it themselves and also give pills to help taro rat
healing process of chemotherapy.
In this second patient, not encountered a variety of effects experienced by
The first patient, even the patient looks normal.But
This doctor refused to be exposed because
according to him, this treatment has not been formally studied in Indonesia ..
He said that if his colleagues learned that he was taking medication
Alternatively, they will give a title as “tar-kun” or
physician-healer.
“This is an open gap between conventional and modern medicine,”
said the doctor.
Many interesting things happened during the receiving and giving Boni
assistance to various patients.There’s even a heavy addict putaw and
shabu-shabu in Surabaya, which eventually got addicted to it
lung cancer.After receiving the verdict of lung cancer stage III,
these patients are taking the pill
and tea from the Cancer Care.The result is quite surprising, as it turns out
drug drugs can remove toxins from the blood circulation
patient and
overcome the dependence on these drugs.
“But, if the addict is able to neutralize the poison with taro rats,
he should not do drugs anymore, because it surely will arise
resistance.So do not
like kebo, after wallowing bath again, “Boni said, laughing.
Also there is the experience of patients who roared in pain due to attacks
the gnawing cancer, because the painkillers are not
work anymore.After the rats were given drinking juice taro, a few moments
then the patient is calm and no longer feel pain.
According to data from Cancer Care Malaysia, the various diseases that have been
cured are a variety of cancers and serious illnesses like cancer
breast, lung, colon-rectum,
liver, prostate, kidney, cervix, throat, bone, brain, spleen,

Having a vaccination and avoiding mosquito bites can reduce the risk of catching yellow fever to a great extent.
If you have a planned trip, you should do a bit of research to find out if the countries you intend to visit require you to have yellow fever vaccination. You must have received yellow fever vaccination at least 10 days prior to entering the country, otherwise quarantine measures may be enforced.
Usually, a yellow fever vaccine is not given to people who are immune deficient, allergic to eggs or neomycin, under nine months of age, or the women who are pregnant. The minor side effects associated with administration of this vaccine may include mild fever, headache, muscle aches which may occur 5 to 14 days after the immunization.

The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer
The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer
The Emperor of All Maladies is a magnificent, profoundly humane “biography” of cancer—from its first documented appearances thousands of years ago through the epic battles in the twentieth century to cure, control, and conquer it to a radical new understanding of its essence. Physician, researcher, and award-winning science writer, Siddhartha Mukherjee examines cancer with a cellular biologist’s precision, a historian’s perspective, and a biographer’s passion. The result is an astonishingly lucid and eloquent chronicle of a disease humans have lived with—and perished from—for more than five thousand years.
The story of cancer is a story of human ingenuity, resilience, and perseverance, but also of hubris, paternalism, and misperception. Mukherjee recounts centuries of discoveries, setbacks, victories, and deaths, told through the eyes of his predecessors and peers, training their wits against an infinitely resourceful adversary that, just three decades ago, was thought to be easily vanquished in an all-out “war against cancer.” The book reads like a literary thriller with cancer as the protagonist.
From the Persian Queen Atossa, whose Greek slave may have cut off her diseased breast, to the nineteenth-century recipients of primitive radiation and chemotherapy to Mukherjee’s own leukemia patient, Carla, The Emperor of All Maladies is about the people who have soldiered through fiercely demanding regimens in order to survive—and to increase our understanding of this iconic disease.
Riveting, urgent, and surprising, The Emperor of All Maladies provides a fascinating glimpse into the future of cancer treatments. It is an illuminating book that provides hope and clarity to those seeking to demystify cancer.Amazon Best Books of the Month, November 2010: "In 2010, about six hundred thousand Americans, and more than 7 million humans around the world, will die of cancer." With this sobering statistic, physician and researcher Siddhartha Mukherjee begins his comprehensive and eloquent "biography" of one of the most virulent diseases of our time. An exhaustive account of cancer's origins, The Emperor of All Maladies illustrates how modern treatments--multi-pronged chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery, as well as preventative care--came into existence thanks to a century's worth of research, trials, and small, essential breakthroughs around the globe. While The Emperor of All Maladies is rich with the science and history behind the fight against cancer, it is also a meditation on illness, medical ethics, and the complex, intertwining lives of doctors and patients. Mukherjee's profound compassion--for cancer patients, their families, as well as the oncologists who, all too often, can offer little hope--makes this book a very human history of an elusive and complicated disease. --Lynette Mong
