im sorry but this does not show a true reflection of a cloaca family life AT ALL.. after 14 yrs of my eldest having this i speak in honesty... where is the talk of the double incotnince.. the fact no one will ask hewr for a sleepover cus she is too difficult to maintain with her washouts and catheters and god forbid overnight drainage bags... yes their needs to be more awerness but this video is absolutyl appalling... the only bits i liked where when the family spoke......get it real doctor.. live a week im our life with our cloaca girl then re do video on facts not hearts and flowers

Maybe their situation is different from yours. The video isn't appalling. They didn't make this video to provide information on cloaca, they made it so that people will donate to the hospital.

I love this! Im currently in my second year of med school and im constantly being discouraged about pursuing surgery as my specialty. I just hope more women become involved in this field and we can change the current mind set of people preferring male surgeons instead of female ones. :)

Well, I am not a medical Dr, but I do know that the sooner she get's the operation, the better. I think tumor growth is based on many things and varies in each individual. If she smokes or drinks, she should stop immediately as they are both carcinogenic. I think my tumor was about 1.5cm round when I finally had the surgery, and it took about a month and a half to reach this size (starting from just a regular ulcer). I had all of my lymphnodes removed once they saw metastasis in one of them.

I'm afraid because my tongue is in no good condition for several years now. It burns, it is red and swollen on the sides and often covered with white stuff. Just like you wrote in your comment, toothpaste hurts, a lot of food hurts and so on. I've had this symptoms for years now, they are a result of heavy and daily heartburn for over 8 years. But now the mucose on the tongue is starting to change and i'm worried. Anyway: I sincerly wish you all the best for the future. May god protect you.

Catherine Elliot commented on 01 Aug 2012

I can speak much better now (5 1/2 months out from last radiation treatment). I still have trouble with my "s" but the tongue swelling has gone down. I have regained a bit of moisture, but still no where close to normal. So I have drymouth and carry water everywhere. I can't eat spicy foods or brush my teeth with strong minty toothpaste. I have made a lot of adjustments to my diet because a lot of food hurts me. I have a great life, all things considered. I thank God for healing me.

Catherine Elliot commented on 21 Sep 2012

My reaction when the doctors told me I had cancer was disbelief. I am young and live a very healthy lifestyle. I was in a new country and didn't understand the language, and somehow the doctor knew the word "cancer" in english but he couldn't explain anything more, just that I had tongue cancer. When they said they had to cut out part of my tongue, I wasn't happy, but I didn't think it would be a big thing. I was surprised how much they took and I would like some back. Ha ha

MrPopular22 commented on 02 Aug 2012

Hi, can you please tell me how your cancer looked and felt like at the beginning? How did you notice it? I noticed a white spot on the far back of my tongue 2 weeks ago, don't know how long it has been there. It is on the right side where the molars meet the tongue. The area looks pretty eroded and erratic, but there is no pain. The mucosa looks like it was split in two parts in that area, and the white spot is on one of the parts. I don't even know how to describe it....

I had exactly the same surgery on September 15th. I'm back to normal now. Eating everything again and talking almost perfect. I wish somebody share a video like this one before my surgery. I'm 35 right now and happiest than ever. God bless you. The worst part is gone and you will get better and better every day. On my case they removed 53 lymph nodes and abt 2.5 inches of the left side of my tongue. Thanks or sharing your experience. God bless u again. Nelson.

Ayu Putri commented on 13 Nov 2012

Hi so glad to see a tongue survivor. God bless you. I have a 26 year old friend in a hospital ICU in Jakarta (Indonesia), she's on stadium IV now. Too sad to know that she found out she has tongue cancer 15 months ago, and it was only stadium 2B. She didn't get any surgery done as she was so afraid the idea of cutting her tongue. She went through numerous numbers of chemos, radiations, and even traditional treatments, but seems that none of them help..

Catherine Elliot commented on 20 Sep 2012

If your mom has what seems to be a sore or ulcer (especially at the back side/base of the tongue) she needs to get a biopsy TODAY to see if it is cancer. I found out about my cancer on Oct. 30 and had my first surgery as you see above on Nov. 25th. So it took about a month to get me scheduled and in the operating room. The faster you find out that it is cancer, the better your chances are of surviving it.

Catherine Elliot commented on 20 Sep 2012

I can tell you that, since I am young compared to most people who get this cancer in their 50s-60s, the Doctors decided to be aggressive and give me chemo and radiation as well. The surgery was the easy part although my speech is still slurred (I can't say a nice crisp "s" anymore.) The 35 days of radiation was the worst thing I ever went through. Bless your mom and all that she will have to embark.

Catherine Elliot commented on 21 Sep 2012

As adjunct therapy while she waits for surgery, check out Gerson Therapy. I drink carrot/apple juices daily and have cut out a lot of food from my diet to prevent recurrence if at all possible. I still went through with the surgery, but now I rethink the things that pass through my mouth and the other toxins in daily life. I'll put the link to the video in the description under the video.

Cells whether cancerous or normal can only live and reproduce (undergo mitosis) in a pH range of between 6.5 and 7.5. A healthy cell has a pH of 7.35 while a cancer cell is more acidic. Cesium when taken orally will raise the pH of cancer cells, but not that of normal cells. When the pH of a cancer cell goes above 7.5 it dies and if it goes above 8.0 it will die in a matter of hours.

Tom Sanders commented on 26 Nov 2012

Cesium a crystalline salt has been used successfully for cancer for many years now. Cesium Chloride and Cesium Carbonate work by raising the cancer cell's Ph to a highly alkaline state. Although many anti-cancer diets also produce an alkaline state, they simply cannot do so as quickly or as fully as Cesium can.

Edward Van Steenwyk commented on 15 Jul 2013

Went to the doctors yesterday. She thinks i may have cancer on my tongue. The blister looking crap, has been the for a month, no pain though, until they took a sample. I am scared for my two small children, If something were to happen to me. Im starting to become depressed..

Tom Sanders commented on 26 Nov 2012

Cancer cells are very weak, far weaker than healthy cells. It is very easy to kill cancer cells if you can create the right environment. The following protocols are deadly to cancer cells, yet harmless if not outright beneficial to healthy cells.

MIHIR SHAH commented on 20 Sep 2012

we had the biopsy done...it shows pre cancer with questionable invasion of tongue cancer. But MRI stated that mandibular lymphnodes are enlarged. And it is a sore of size 1.8 * 1.1 cm in middle of the tongue. (not on the back, in the front)

Marcus Day commented on 21 Feb 2013

Sorry for the late reply, I haven't been on for a while. Thanks for your message. Yes I had my surgery at JFCR in Tokyo, and so far 10 months later am ok. Speaking is a little slurred still but ok. I hope you are getting better too.

Devilz Rox commented on 22 Oct 2012

Yeah you live a virtuous life, this is what happens. Hot wild teen girls piercing their tongue as readily as slipping on a pair of heels, and they have no consequences whatsoever. God moves in mysterious ways, huh?

Catherine Elliot commented on 21 Sep 2012

Konnichiwa Marcus-san. I see you are in Nihon. Sugoi! Did you get the surgery there? How is speaking afterward the surgery? Nihongo ga mutsukashi desu ne?! Good luck in your recovery. My thoughts are with you.

Catherine Elliot commented on 08 Aug 2012

I found it early and so less than half was removed. I'm not sure what the actual percentage is. It seems like 1/4th or less. It was the left side of my tongue, lengthwise or an oval shaped cut.

MIHIR SHAH commented on 20 Sep 2012

Hey, i have a question because my mum is experiencing the same thing. Your help will be much appreciated. After how much time exactly since the occurrence of an ulcer or a sore, u had surgery?

fraumitmotorrad commented on 27 Nov 2011

Wow, Cath, this is just amazing. I know it's feeling like an eternity to get back to a sense of normalcy, but you've come an incredibly long way in just a few days. Thanks for posting this!

kelsieRocks100 commented on 02 Sep 2012

:( this is really sad. Did you like the fact you had to get your tongue removed what was your reaction when doctors told you? Your very beautiful by the way !

Eva Grayzel commented on 15 Jul 2013

Why are you in Switzerland for your sugary? Please contact me, I'd like to write openly to you. I have a website of my name dot com.

Brian Power commented on 27 Feb 2013

How are you doing now? You are very brave to post your video so soon after your surgery. I do hope you are doing well. God Bless.

Sean Earley commented on 08 Feb 2012

Wow your an inspiration. My dad just had to go in for surgery for something similar. Thank you for posting this video

TJTheProud commented on 31 Jul 2012

How are you now? Are you adept at speaking with this situation? I'm asking because my cousin will be doing it soon?

pUSSYcREAM commented on 01 May 2012

Thank God? The surgeons are ones helping the cancer patient survive. They're the one doing the medical treatments.
