What happens in end stages of bladder cancer?
Everyone will respond differently. But physically most will experience blood in the urine this is often times painless. Some will experience lower back pain. The blood will increase in amount and will vary with bladder contractions. The patient may become frightened and or confused others will be in denial. Towards the end their breathing will become labored and they will loose control of their bladder. The kidneys will not be able to filter the amount of pain medsf out of their system as well as other toxic substances made by the body in the course of natural metabolism and these by products will reach toxic levels. This does not in any way mean reduce their pain management but only a glimpse in to what is going to happen to them. Once the kidneys fail most patients survive 7 to 10 days. Remember dying is a natural part of the process.

How can you tell if you have brain cancer?

Why would high amounts of radiation cause cancer?
I done a case study on this in school and I got 24/24 marks that's a straight A* so believe me I know what Im talking about. Basicly in this case study I looked as loads of data and studies about it. And the largest study of 420,000 people tested for this was a Danish study this said there was no link. But I would support precotionary principle cause some of the other tests though smaller come up with some very affective evidence. So I would use your phone less and text more, don't put your phone in your pocket but a bag, and mainly if you are under the age of 10 do not use a phone as the tissue to the brain is thiner and it is easyier to get heat radiation which if the tests are right will give you brain tumours. Also don't use a phone when pregant or near a baby. Hope this helps xx

Is there any cure for cancer yet?
As usual, vivisectionists don't mind testing on animals to find out if a new cure works. They are often employed by Governments and medical research organisations, to find out about any cure at all. The problem is, they make some of the animals sick first, then try to cure the animals. There's other animals too in the same place, being given other treatments.
Try on the Net by searching for "Animal Rights Organisations", there will be many groups listed there. W.S.P.A. is one of the best for education and actions against cruelty. W.S.P.A. means: World Society for the Protection of Animals. There's S.A.F.E. being "Save Animals from Exploitation". And there's "Animals Asia" that works against cruelty to the Moon Bears.
How bad is cancer of the liver?
Liver disease is any disturbance of liver function that causes illness. The liver is responsible for many critical functions within the body and should it become diseased or injured, the loss of those functions can cause significant damage to the body. Liver disease is also referred to as hepatic disease.
Liver disease is a broad term that covers all the potential problems that may occur to cause the liver to fail to perform its designated functions. Usually, more than 75% or three quarters of liver tissue needs to be affected before decrease in function occurs.
The liver the largest solid organ in the body; and is also considered a gland because among its many functions, it makes and secretes bile. The liver is located in the upper right portion of the abdomen protected by the rib cage. It has two main lobes that are made up of tiny lobules. The liver cells have two different sources of blood supply. The hepatic artery supplies oxygen rich blood that is pumped from the heart, while the portal vein supplies nutrients from the intestine and the spleen.
Normally, veins return blood from the body to the heart, but the portal vein allows chemicals from the digestive tract to enter the liver for "detoxification" and filtering prior to entering the general circulation. The portal vein also efficiently delivers the chemicals and proteins that liver cells need to produce the proteins, cholesterol, and glycogen required for normal body activities.
As part of its function, the liver makes bile, a fluid that contains among other substances, water, chemicals, and bile acids (made from stored cholesterol in the liver). Bile is stored in the gallbladder and when food enters the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine), bile is secreted into the duodenum, to aid in digestion of food.

Tanning doesn't 'give' you cancer.
However tanning, especially artificial tanning, increases sun damage to your skin. With increased damage to your skin comes the increased chance of developing skin cancer.
When you are exposed to certain wavelengths of light (UVA & UVB), they can penetrate through your skins epidermis and damage the deeper skin DNA, causing errors in your DNA, and increasing the likelihood of unchecked cell growth and regulation. (which cancer is, uncontrolled growth)
some preparations are know to be carcinogenic, Kojic Acid for example, but only in large doses. Also Mercurous Chloride can be harmful.

The leading fruit is Papaya, its enzyme Papain can lighten the skin
