MAKING DECISIONS
The sheer volume and complexity of the medical information that the newly diagnosed cancer patient must quickly absorb can be overwhelming. Often, decisions may be unduly rushed under great stress. It is not easy under these circumstances to make a careful and fully informed decision. The most effective use of cytotoxic chemotherapy is in the first-line setting. The use of ineffective drugs at the time of initial therapy may lead to treatment failure.
I have a substantive base of knowledge about both mainstream therapies (including cutting-edge experimental approaches) and complementary treatments (including nutrition, mind-body, and alternative therapies), which patients can utilize to their benefit. My experience suggests that patients often are most successful when they combine the best of conventional oncology with carefully chosen complementary treatments. I have been honored to assist many patients whose quality of life has been dramatically improved; some of these patients have fully recovered or survived long beyond conventional medical expectations.
With Lynn Monroe's guidance and support, you will...
Have personal guidance in choosing an oncologist for surgery, chemo and/or radiation.
Be directed to the best experienced surgeon, pathologist, radiation oncologist and medical oncologist for second opinions. Second opinions help with confirming a diagnosis and providing reassurance that the patient is making a reasonable choice. Studies have shown that one in 5 cancers are incorrectly diagnosed or staged.
Utilize cutting-edge, scientifically-based strategies to help 'control' your cancer with medicinal herbs, natural dietary supplements and wholesome foods that:
- Strengthen the power of your immune system's cancer-fighting cells
- Inhibit the growth of new blood vessels that 'feed' the tumor (anti-angiogenesis)
- Control the inflammatory process that promotes tumor growth and metastasis
- Prompt your cancer cells to mature into healthy cells (differentiation)
- Trigger your cancer cells to undergo a natural cell 'suicide' (apoptosis)
- Learn effective doctor/patient communication tips.
- Understand the biology and the language of cancer.
