Cancer is not one disease but over 200 different types . . so the answer is complicated . . to understand cancer you have to understand that the disease begins as one cell that for reasons unknown loses the ability to stop growing. Any cell within the human body can lose that ability to stop growing . . any cell . . located anywhere within the body. So a breast cell will become breast cancer and even if that cell travels to the brain it is still a breast cancer cell. So . . a cancer starts in that one cell and than begins to replicate endlessly until a tumor is formed. Some cancer cells grow quickly, some grow very slowly . . so even that needs to be considered. So . . cancer is a progressive disease that starts out tiny and than grows indefinitely into larger and larger tumors and more eventually begins to split into more tumors . . those malignant tumors than have the ability to metastasize and send microscopic replicas into the blood stream and relocate to different parts of the body and start a whole new cancer colony. So . . to answer your question . . if you find cancer when it is tiny and small . .before it has a chance to grow and multiply and send out metastatic cells . . than it may be removed and no further treatment required. So the sooner a cancer is found and treated the better chance for survival. There are also very rare cases where some cancers do go away without treatment called spontaneous cure . . in children under the age of two there is a type of cancer that has been known to resolve itself as the child ages . .but there are never any guarantees that will happen (neuroblastoma). And that is the thing with spontaneous remission . . no one knows who or what type of cancer might have this happen. In the majority of cases the cancer just continues to grow and treatment is necessary for survival. If cancer could just go away without treatment than people would not be dying from cancer for thousands of years. (Cancer is an ancient disease that has always been around). Untreated the overwhelming majority of cancers end up killing the patient.

Cancer did not start on it's own, and will not go away if you did not change the condition that allowed it to start growing. For instance, if you are outside and getting all wet, there are several things you can do. Get an umbrella, go inside, get under a roof, wear protective clothing to prevent you and your clothes under the protective outer layer from getting wet. But if you just stand there in the rain and do nothing, the wetness will continue and get worse. So you need to change a condition to avoid the cancer from spreading and getting worse. The things you list are treatments. Chemo, surgery, radiation, pills, and so on are all treatments. What doctors do is figure out what symptoms are best treated with what treatments. So a cold is treated with hot soup because it worked well in most people. An eye infection is treated with this one, and a heart condition treated that way, because others have found it worked with them. What will work best for you? Well the doctors will look over your condition, and then see what tests are usually run with a person with your condition. Then depending on those results, they will either make medication recomendations, or surgery recomendations, or more tests to be conducted. Once they discover a treatable condition, they will review what worked on other patients, and then give you the same sort of treatment procedure, and see how you turn out. Do you have cancer at this time? Are you trying to live a life cancer free? (Isn't everyone?) Some suggestions to lower your cancer risk is to give up soft drinks, reduce cheese to a minimum, and lower milk products. Eliminate eggs as muh as practical, while they will still show up in cake and breads, try to reduce consumption of them. Good Luck!

chemotherapy

you will need to see a dr. He will most likely refer you to a Dermatologist. The dermatologist will do a biopsy to determine which type of skin cancer you have. Treatment is determined according to the type.

For most people, chemo makes their hair fall out. Some people don't lose their hair, some of them lose some hair but not all, it depends. My cousin had chemo for her leukemia, and when part of it fell out, they went ahead and shaved the rest off. She lost even her eye lashes and eyebrows at one point, but now she is doing a lot better and in maintenence stage where they are less aggressive with the treatment. Along with hair loss, there is a host of other vicious side effects. She got so frail, so thin and pale at one point that her being bald was the least of her problems. She had a lot of joint pain and fatigue, plus weird cravings and a hard time with throwing up a lot. If you are that sick, it really becomes the least of your problems in having cancer. Now her hair is back in and it annoys the crap out of her when it won't lie down, it's too short to do much to.

Some chemo drugs do induce hair loss. The drug I'm taking doesn't. My hair feels like baby hair, very soft and fine. The only bald spots I have are from my radiation treatments to my head. They're already growing back except for the spot my surgeon peeled open. It's stil swollen with some fluid, so my hair won't grow till the swelling goes down more.

No. Some cancer patients' treatment doesn't include chemotherapy. And not all chemotherapy regimes cause hair loss; some just cause hair thinning, some cause no hair loss at all, and some cause extensive hair loss. . A patient's oncologist will be able to advise them in advance if their particular drug combination is likely to or will definitely cause hair loss. Radiotherapy is a local treatment and won't cause hair loss unless it's to the head or another area with hair.

Not always. My grandma and uncle had pancreatic cancer and they never lost their hair, in fact their hair didnt even thin, or at least not to the point were it was noticable. They had the same head of hair in their coffins as they did before the cancer.
