I have found that eliminating processed sugars is a most effective strategy in general cancer prevention, together with a raw-food diet ( lots of fruit & Veg. ).

Also, a high oxygen intake (lots of deep breathing), was beneficial as well.

Specifically for colon cancer, I would recommend a high fibre diet with minimum processed foods.

Carcinoid tumor is a form of cancer that begins with "car."

Processed food is not recommended. One should eat it limit, excess amount of eating may lead to the serious health issues like obesity. The main reason of obesity is dairy products, processed food etc. Once in a Month or twice is acceptable, but eating daily is strictly avoided. Instead eat green veggies and healthy food.

Finding nice things to say is difficult - but it's crucial that you find the time to talk - being ignored by your friends is not likely to be very helpful. So maybe it's better to be willing to listen - or you could talk about something that you know your friend likes hearing about - or you could explore with him/her if there's anything special s/he'd like you to do - sometimes friends can offer practical help that it is not easy for families to do. But most importantly don't stop trying.

Cancer has many different causes, and the cause of any specific cancer may never be known. There are carcinogenic chemicals such as benzene or formaldehyde, there are carcinogenic viruses, there are genetic defects which predispose some people to getting cancer, there are irritants such as asbestos fibers which are also carcinogenic; radiation can cause cancer.

Only if you have it. It is a type of cancer that could spread and metastasise. It would be more dangerous it it were less differentiated. If you have this you should seek medical advice quickly.

Im not sure if it will cause colon cancer but it will cause constipation!! I have been eating laundry starch for a couple of years now and nothing good has came out of it but constipation, fatigue, and weight gain. My mom was eating it but she finally went and got some help and come to find out she was anemic. They gave her some iron and she has not craved the starch anymore.

Haemoglobin is not a disease. It's a metalloprotein in blood that is responsible for carrying oxygen or carbon dioxide. Haem or heme stands for iron which is present as a cofactor in the protein and the globin stands for the protein. The oxidation state of the iron in hemoglobin determines what species of oxygen is bound in the blood.

This is a question you need to ask your mother-in-law's surgeon who did the surgery, or her oncologist, (cancer doctor). Those are the people who are best suited to answer this question as they are most familiar with her condition. There are too many variables among individual people for someone to be able to answer this question in this format. A lot depends on the general state of your mother-in-law's health to begin with, and whether or not she is having follow-up radiation or chemotherapy or both, so ask her oncologist or surgeon. They will be able to give you a much better prognosis. Best wishes to your mother-in-law and your family.
