General info on cancer
This is just some stuff that I am gleaning from talking to doctors and people who "know"
There is no real cure for cancer.
The treatments out there seem to be two - surgery or chemo-radiation
There are four stages in cancer, well five if you count CIS(???) which is like a precancer stage. Each stage has an (a) and (b)
The stages are graded according to progress and development of the cancer
In the first stage either surgery or chemo-radiation is suggested. surgery because with early detection they can cut out the infected part and try and prevent spread.
In the second and third stages chemo-radiation is recommended. It is too late for surgery because the tumor has started to grow and spread.
In stage four surgery is the only solution. Basically, butchering, chopping off infected parts etc....things have gone out of control
