Does the humidity factor in Florida have a major effect on whether or not the tumors in my feet can be healed with treatment?

A. Chemotherapy
B. Radiation
C. Drug therapy
D. Surgery
E. All of the above

I have a friend that has a brain tumor the size of a small lemon. The doctors have taken out 60% of the tumor but were not able to get the remaining 40% because of its proximity to important nerves. What are the chances of radiation treatment actually getting rid of the remaining 40%. ALso if the tumor comes back, can radiation be used multiple times or not?

I’ve posed this question and was satisfied with the opinion I got but more insight or as much insight as possible doesn’t hurt. Long story short, I was scheduled for MEPS when the doctor there overlooked some med docs (diagnosis, procedure, follow-up) I’d submitted about a surgery a few years back concerning the removal of a harmless lump in my arm and he was cautious about approving me immediately because of a recommendation that I’d had to receive radiation treatment. Chronologically, the recommendation was before the diagnosis (which found that it was just another typical, non-cancerous lump in my upper arm), and it was optional so I opted not to undertake it. The follow-up from the med docs also confirmed that I’m perfectly fine and my arm is fully functional. My recruiter said that the MEPS doc is of a lower authority and just felt weary of making a decision so they sent it to the SG. Given any similar situations, I wanted to know maybe what I can expect as far as a response?
Yes sir, I had a biopsy which determined that it was non-cancerous and this was submitted. So hopefully you’re right Franky and this is their main concern.

And thanx Ray.

Can you provide a good source as well regarding this issue? Thanks! ^_^

It has been causing me a lot of pain and tenderness (apparently due to its location), but the OB/GYN tells me it does not necessarily need to be removed. I was wondering if anyone else had a Fibroadenoma that was associated with pain and breast tenderness, and what course of treatment they decided to take (i.e. wait and monitor the lump or have it removed). Thanks!

The Vet assistant keeps telling me its costly but won’t give me an exact price. Also, if your cat was 14 would you do the iodine treatment?

Hi everyone. My boyfriend was told he has stomach cancer and was diagnosed as terminal about 6 months ago. He had been undergoing radiation treatment 3 times a week regardless, and about a month ago he told me that the doctors said it had shrunk again and was now benign. Is this scientifically possible? I’m afraid he’s just telling me that so I won’t worry as much about him, and I haven’t been able to go to any of his doc appointments due to my work schedule. If anyone has any info to offer concerning this it would be greatly appreciated!

I am trying to find out as much info as possible on sideffects, possible complications, and recovery time of this treatment. In this case the patient is my dad 54 years old and suffering from acusting neuroma(a tumor). PLease let me know as much info as possible, and links to helpfull websites are greatly appreciated.
