Keto does not cause cancer although keto diets can worsen cancer you already have or even increase your risk of cancer because of keto friendly foods such as red meat.
Carbs do not cause cancer, although the carbs can increase your risk of cancer as cancer cells can feed on carbs and glucose.
All cells including cancer cells feed on glucose as their primary fuel and the glucose comes from any food which contains carbs which include healthy foods including dairy, whole grains, fruits and vegetables.
Too many calories from carbohydrates (carbs, for short) can lead to weight gain, obesity and increased risk for diseases, including certain types of cancer like breast and colon cancer.
And carbohydrates with a high glycemic index have been linked to increased lung cancer risk.
A type of fat that can cause cancer is saturated fat as every 5 percent increase in intake of saturated fat increases your risk of cancer and cancer mortality by 4 percent.
High-fat diets have been identified as a major cause of obesity and a potential risk factor for breast cancer.
Fat tissue, also known as adipose tissue, produces an excess of estrogen, which has been linked to an increased risk of breast cancer.
The body needs healthy fats for energy and other functions.
But too much saturated fat can cause cholesterol to build up in your arteries (blood vessels).
Saturated fats raise your LDL (bad) cholesterol.
High LDL cholesterol increases your risk for heart disease and stroke.
Cancer pain feels like sharp stabbing pain that comes and goes and can also be a tingling or burning sensation or even a persistent ache.
The cancer pain can be either severe, mild or moderate.
The incidence rates for cancer overall climb steadily as age increases, from fewer than 25 cases per 100,000 people in age groups under age 20, to about 350 per 100,000 people among those aged 45–49, to more than 1,000 per 100,000 people in age groups 60 years and older.
Your odds of getting cancer are very low and only one in 2 men have a chance of being diagnosed with cancer during their lifetime and women have a one in 3 chance of being diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime.
You should suspect cancer if you experience any sudden and unexplained weight loss, tiredness, fatigue or other possible signs of cancer which include a lump that suddenly appears.
Fatigue. Lump or area of thickening that can be felt under the skin. Weight changes, including unintended loss or gain. Skin changes, such as yellowing, darkening or redness of the skin, sores that won't heal, or changes to existing moles.
The 12 signs of cancer include.
Abnormal periods or pelvic pain. Most women have the occasional irregular period or cramps.
Changes in bathroom habits.
Bloating.
Breast changes.
Chronic coughing.
Chronic headache.
Difficulty swallowing.
Excessive bruising.
Fatigue.
Lump or area of thickening that can be felt under the skin.
Weight changes, including unintended loss or gain.
Skin changes, such as yellowing, darkening or redness of the skin, sores that won't heal, or changes to existing moles.
Other signs of cancer include.
Changes in bowel or bladder habits.
Persistent cough or trouble breathing.
Cancer can still spread even while someone is on chemo.
While most chemo is successful at getting rid of cancer and keeping the cancer from spreading it's still possible for cancer to spread when on chemo.
You can sleep next to someone with chemo and even have sex with someone with chemo as long as the person is feeling up to it.
The chemo poses very little risks to other people around the chemo patient.
Cancer is least likely to develop in people under the age of 20 years of age and those over 80 years of age.
The incidence rates for cancer overall climb steadily as age increases, from fewer than 25 cases per 100,000 people in age groups under age 20, to about 350 per 100,000 people among those aged 45–49, to more than 1,000 per 100,000 people in age groups 60 years and older.
You cannot smell cancer itself but sometimes tumors that develop with cancer can cause some unpleasant odors.
For the average person it's not easy to detect the smell of cancer, but they may notice changes in the odor of body fluids when they're receiving treatment for cancer.
The sense of smell may be more sensitive to people undergoing cancer treatments.
Strong odors, such as those in foods, are especially offending.
The slowest growing cancer is Carcinoid Cancer.
You can have Carcinoid cancer for several years without knowing it which is why it's called a slow growing cancer.
The deadliest cancers are lung cancer, colerectal cancer, breast cancer, pancreatic cancer and prostate cancer.
Lung and bronchus cancer is responsible for the most deaths with 130,180 people expected to die from this disease.
That is nearly three times the 52,580 deaths due to colorectal cancer, which is the second most common cause of cancer death.
Pancreatic cancer is the third deadliest cancer, causing 49,830 deaths.
The five types of cancer are Lymphoma, Leukemia, Melanoma, Carcinoma and Sarcoma.
When a cancer patient stops eating or drinking it means the cancer patient is in the last stages of the cancer is the cancer patients body is shutting down and preparing for death.
Signs that a cancer patient is dying include.
Breathing stops.
Blood pressure cannot be heard.
Pulse stops.
Eyes stop moving and may stay open.
Pupils of the eyes stay large, even in bright light.
Control of bowels or bladder may be lost as the muscles relax.
The amount of rounds of chemo which are normal is between 4 to 8 rounds of chemo.
A person may get chemo treatments daily, weekly, or monthly, but they're usually given in on-and-off cycles.
This means, for example, that you may get chemo the first 2 weeks and then have a week off, making it a cycle that will start over every 3 weeks.
The time off lets your body build healthy new cells and regain it's strength.
Chemo is usually not worth it for terminal cancer as if the terminal cancer is severe enough the chemo will only extend your life for around a month or two at most or if it extends you life a bit longer you'll usually suffer more.
Stage I: Cancer is localized to a small area and hasn't spread to lymph nodes or other tissues.
Stage II: Cancer has grown, but it hasn't spread.
Stage III: Cancer has grown larger and has possibly spread to lymph nodes or other tissues.
Stage IV: Cancer has spread to other organs or areas of your body.
Stage 4 cancer is not always a terminal cancer and in some cases treatments can help and you may live a long life with Stage 4 cancer depending on the type of cancer.
People who are diagnosed in stage 4 who decide against treatment live an average of 6 months.
In contrast, those diagnosed with stage 1A disease who elect no treatment live an average of two years.
Stage 4 cancer is caused when the cancer cells are left untreated and left to spread and grow to other parts of your body.
Stage 4 cancer which is also sometimes called advanced cancer or late-stage cancer, is cancer that has metastasized (spread) to other parts of the body from the original site.
This occurs when cancer cells break away from the primary tumor and enter the bloodstream or lymphatic system.
Surviving Stage 4 cancer is sometimes possible but it depends on the type of cancer.
The sooner you get treatment the better chance you have at surviving Stage 4 cancer although in most cases Stage 4 cancer cannot be cured.
