Holly had tried everything possible and nothing worked. She then decided to try a home remedy which her grand mother told her about. This worked so Holly wanted to pass on the informtation to people who suffer from the embarrassing problem of piles.

There are over 200 different types of cancer and nearly all of them have the potential to be deadly. Survival from cancer depends on many different factors . . it depends on the type of cancer, location of the disease, stage and grade of tumor, the overall health of the patient, patient age, and the response to treatment.

In order to understand cancer . . any type of cancer . . and its ability to be life threatening you must know that cancer is a progressive disease. Cancer starts out as a single mutated cell located anywhere in the body. That one malignant cell can grow into a tumor . . and will grow indefinitely unless it is treated. Tumor growth depends on cancer type . . some tumors grow slowly for 20 years or more, while other tumor types are aggressive and fast and can grow in months, weeks, or even days.

In the very early stages of cancer . . the tumor is small . . as the disease progresses to a later stage . .the tumor becomes large and more tumors can begin to grow in the same location . . at some point the larger tumors can begin to shed hundreds of malignant cells into the blood stream or lymphatic system in a process called metastasis. Metastatic cancer is called stage IV disease. The mets can travel all over the body and lodge in a distant location . . common spots are the liver, the lungs, bone, or the brain . . new cancer colonies will start to grow in those spots and repeat the entire process . . growth and than metastasis . .indefinitely unless treatment stops it.

So you need to ask your grandmother what stage her cancer is in . . if it is in the early stages than it can be treated with surgery and maybe chemo . . if it is in the late stages than the cancer can be treated but it will be very difficult. There are no guarantees.
