Stage 2 Cervical Cancer
- Cancer of the neck of the womb can affect women at an earlier age. It presents when it is quite advanced with irregular or unpredictable vaginal bleeding.
- Cervical cancer is malignant neoplasm of the cervix uteri or cervical area. It may be present with vaginal bleeding but symptoms may be absent until the cancer is in its advanced stages.
- A type of cancer of the cervix of the uterus which can afflict some female mammals including humans. The term usually does not refer to cancer of the neck or other parts of the anatomy which use the term cervix
cervical cancer
- Stage 2 of the Child Support Scheme refers to matters where the parties separated or at least one child of that relationship was born on or after 1 October 1989.
- Knowing there is such a word, but not knowing what it means
- Stage 2 is the portion of the survey process in which an in-depth directed review is conducted of residents within Care Areas that exceeded thresholds identified during the Stage 1 process. Surveyor-initiated Care Areas are investigated, and facility-level tasks are completed during Stage 2.

stage 2 cervical cancer – Rush –
Rush is one of rock’s most influential bands. Ranked third in consecutive gold or platinum albums after The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, the band enjoys a devoted following by legions around the world and is revered by generations of musicians.

Featuring never-before-seen archival footage and interviews with notables such as Jack Black, Billy Corgan, Trent Reznor, Taylor Hawkins (Foo Fighters), Kirk Hammett (Metallica) and Gene Simmons, this film explores the forty-year career and phenomenon behind what could be the world’s biggest cult band. This 2-disc DVD in deluxe packaging features over 3 hours of video, including a 1.5 hour bonus disc of never-before-seen live performances, special features, and deleted scenes from the film. A 12 page color booklet of rare and unreleased photos is also included.

Milk thistles are thistles of the genus Silybum Adans., flowering plants of the daisy family (Asteraceae). They are native to the Mediterranean regions of Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. The name "milk thistle" derives from two features of the leaves: they are mottled with splashes of white and they contain a milky sap. However, it is the seeds of milk thistle that herbalists have used for 2000 years to treat chronic liver disease and protect the liver against toxins. Increasing research is being undertaken on the physiological effects, therapeutic properties and possible medical uses of milk thistle.
Members of this genus grow as annual or biennial plants. Only two species are currently classified in this genus: Silybum eburneum Coss.
"Dur., known as the Silver Milk Thistle, Elephant Thistle, or Ivory Thistle."
Silybum eburneum Coss. "Dur. var. hispanicum Silybum marianum (L.) Gaertner, the Blessed Milk Thistle," which has a large number of other common names, such as Variegated Thistle.
The two species hybridise naturally, the hybrid being known as Silybum ? gonzaloi Canto , Sanchez Mata" Rivas Mart. (S. eburneum var. hispanicum x S. marianum).
A number of other plants have been classified in this genus in the past but have since been relocated elsewhere in the light of additional research.
For many centuries extracts of milk thistle have been recognized as "liver tonics." Research into the biological activity of silymarin and its possible medical uses has been conducted in many countries since the 1970s, but the quality of the research has been uneven. Milk thistle has been reported to have protective effects on the liver and to greatly improve its function. It is typically used to treat liver cirrhosis, chronic hepatitis (liver inflammation), toxin-induced liver damage (including the prevention of severe liver damage from Amanita phalloides (death cap) mushroom poisoning), and gallbladder disorders. Reviews of the literature covering clinical studies of silymarin vary in their conclusions. A review using only studies with both double-blind and placebo protocols concluded that milk thistle and its
"derivative" does not seem to significantly influence the course of patients with alcoholic and/or hepatitis B or C liver diseases." A different review of the literature, performed for the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services, found that, while there is strong evidence of legitimate medical benefits, the studies done to date are of such uneven design and quality that no firm conclusions about degrees of effectiveness for specific conditions or appropriate dosage can yet be made. Because of the Agricultural boom, plants like the milk thistle are regarded as "just weeds" and disregarded; however, as you can see, they have medicinal value, not to mention the fact that because they flower, there is obviously a purpose for them concerning other living species such as, insects.
A review of studies of silymarin and liver disease which are available on the web shows an interesting pattern in that studies which tested low dosages of silymarin concluded that silymarin was ineffective, while studies which used significantly larger doses concluded that silymarin was biologically active and had therapeutic effects.
Research suggests that milk thistle extracts both prevent and repair damage to the liver from toxic chemicals and medications. Milk thistle can prevent Amanita mushroom poisoning damage if given within 48 hours.
Other uses: Beside benefits for liver disease and treatment claims include:
Used as a post (oral steroid) cycle therapy for body builders and/or in the hopes of reducing or eliminating liver damage.
Lowering cholesterol levels.
Reducing insulin resistance in people with type 2 diabetes who also have cirrhosis.
Reducing the growth of cancer cells in breast, cervical, and prostate cancers.
Used in many products claiming to reduce the effects of a hangover.
Used by individuals withdrawing from opiates, especially during the Acute Withdrawal Stage.
Used by those taking oral steroids.
Beautiful morning..news on my mom
The doctor told my mom she has stage 3 cervical cancer….not vaginal as we first thought. The doctor is confident on being able to give her 5 years…from the explanation I got from my step-dad….if someone lives through the 5 years without the cancer becoming more aggressive and spreading, or if the tumor does shrink and so on….that she can really have a great prognosis. But within that 5 years…..the tumor can metastisize and so on, so these radiation treatments have to be effective. Right now it looks as if the tumor is localized….it didn’t attach to the bladder yet and from the blood tests,it looks as though the cancer hasn’t spread at this point. VERY VERY VERY GOOD NEWS. She will start radiaton next week. She will have to go 1 session per day for 5 days a week…..for the next 6 weeks. After that, we will know much more about how this case will go.
I am just so happy that she isn’t terminal….and that we have a fighting chance to win against this cancer. I want to thank each and every one of you who prayed for her and gave me encouragement.
We do have a long road in front of us….but I feel so much more confident now that we can beat this..or at least give her much more time with us.
