YOUR CANCER, YOUR LIFE – GETTING A SPECIMEN
We now know most of the ways of getting a direct or indirect look at the source of symptoms which might be due to cancer. Once the problem area is located, the next step is to obtain a sample for microscopic examination. This is always necessary. Even if the appearance on X-rays, say, is such that your doctor is perfectly sure it’s a cancer, it is still necessary to confirm this and to find out what type it is. Until this is done, no one can know what to expect Äî11Ìî bAst treat it or anything else. I cannot stress this too strongly — it is always Hiecessary to examine a specimen under the microscope. What are some of the ways of getting the specimen?
Some practitioners also claim to be able to diagnose cancer by testing your hair. This is not true. Like finger and toe nails, hair consists mainly of a substance called keratin. There are no cells in hair — it is not living tissue. It is not possible to diagnose cancer by analysing hair.
