New Lymphoma Drug SGN-35 - The Nebraska Medical Center Video Clips. Duration : 4.53 Mins.

"This is really a breakthrough in that we finally have something to treat these really difficult to treat patients." The FDA approved SGN-35 as a treatment for Hodgkin's Lymphoma in August 2011. It is the first FDA-approved Hodgkin's treatment since 1977. The drug is also used to treat other rare types of lymphoma such as t-cell non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. The drug is mono-clonal antibody which attacks a protein on the surface of a lymphoma cell. It seeks out the cancer cell directly and spares the normal healthy cells. It is given through the vein once every three weeks. In some cases, SGN-35 can be used to get a patient ready to undergo a stem cell transplant. The Nebraska Medical Center and its education and research partner, the University of Nebraska Medical Center have been international leaders in lymphoma and leukemia treatment and research for decades, in many cases pioneering treatments used around the world. As one of the medical centers involved in the clinical trials of SGN-35, the medical center's team has experience with this new treatment.

I have had two surgeries, and the doctor basically said, "deal with the pain, you have to come back for surgeries, or get a full hysterectomy. Still being at the young age I am of 30, I do not want to have a hysterectomy, so I get really bad pains monthly, more so than your normal cramping.

Why Daniel Hauser is a victim of the medical and pharmaceutical establishment

Why Daniel Hauser is a victim of the medical and pharmaceutical establishment Tube. Duration : 8.12 Mins.

(The great lack of trust is evident even amongst doctors. First of all, polls and questionnaires show that three doctors out of four (75 per cent) would refuse any chemotherapy because of its ineffectiveness against the disease and its devastating effects on the entire human organism.) Daniel Hauser's disease was uncommon until a growth hormone was introduced into the milk supply. Since then many other triggers have been ignored and more and more people have reached a tipping point. Both young and old get this disease. Although treatments are supposedly getting better it seems that by killing cancer with cancer causing agents that cancer is bound to come back later. Most patients don't change their eating habits after their "success" Granted, you have to die from something, and nothing is forever, those who have beaten cancer by holistic means stand a much better chance of not dying from cancer than those who underwent conventional chemotherapy and radiation therapies. It is up to all adults, currently, to make those tough decisions, because there is no guarantee that any therapy will be successful. When it comes to minors, the decision become painfully more difficult. When your an adult, and you can gain 5 years to get your things in order and understand pain and that life is not fair that is one thing.
