Remission of cancer!

Cancers under remission can return at any time. This does not mean that any more treatment is needed, simply that the patient needs to continue with normal cancer prevention measures such as check-ups and screenings. Cancer cells almost always linger on by replicating just a little more than healthy cells and they do so without causing symptoms for some time usually causing no harm and occasionally doing good by consuming some other kind of damaged cell. The problem is when they suddenly multiply into a big enough population to really cause trouble which happens largely because something changed in their environment--the toxins didn't change but the tissue became less able to handle them or somehow the cancer cell got its growth signals restored or something like that.

Remission of cancer (or more accurately, the term 'complete remission') is typically interpreted as the situation where there are no detectable traces of cancer left in the patient's body through means such as X-Rays or CT Scans. Other medical definitions of remission include keeping levels of tumor markers down enough to draw a conclusion.

Whether or not remission is attributable to treatment can be disputed but what happens after it takes place does not seem like a coincidence - post-remitters experience less cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer's than those who never experienced remission.

This usually happens if the cancer is in remission. The word "remission" means to stop talking, so it's a way of saying that cancer has stopped progressing and not spread to other parts of the body. This is often temporary and doesn't mean that the patient has been cured or will never get sick again. If anything, else happens, such as a recurrence of their cancer, they'll probably need treatment again to cure it for good.

The condition of being cancer-free is called remission. To say someone has been cured of cancer, a doctor wants to see a period of five years with no signs or symptoms, so they’ve done some follow-up testing and the signs are negative. Their body just isn’t producing any cells that have those abnormal changes characteristic of cancer, which is what it means for someone to be cured of cancer. This can occur because of conventional or alternative therapies as well as natural treatments such as diet and lifestyle changes.

Remission is after an interval (parents), during which there were detectable but not distressing symptoms (or no symptoms) attributable to the disease; the near-complete disappearance (paling).

It might take years but you can repair your intestinal tract and get it working normally again. One of the main systemic effects of intestinal healing is improved immunity, so consider that when choosing foods.

A remission is a temporary stopping of the growth or spreading of cancer. The term "remission" only applies to certain cancers and may not apply depending on what type of cancer it is, especially since there are multiple types and classification systems for different types and stages of cancers. For instance, lymphoma can be in remission because it has stopped growing or spreading but if it starts back up again it would not be considered to have been in remission. It's possible for someone with metastatic prostate cancer to experience a remission from their disease, which does not mean that they are cured since they will probably need additional treatments. In other words, there is still no cure-all treatment available that works on all cancers.

There are three possible outcomes of any cancer diagnosis. The first is a cure, which would be that the cancer is cleared completely, meaning it can't be detected at all. Secondly, there is remission (promotion), which means that cancer shrinks down but isn't gone yet; this may last weeks or months. Lastly, there's extension-the cancer continues to grow and spread without slowing down; this one does not have a good prognosis for survival rates.

For most cancers, a remission is an option if it's caught early enough before too many cells have divided and started to cause trouble somewhere else in the body.

At this time, there is no cure for cancer. Some doctors advocate that "remission" of cancer lasts until the disease recurs, after which point it becomes metastatic (meaning that it has spread to other parts of the body). What this means in practical terms is that metastatic cancers are unlikely to be cured by any treatment. There are some exceptions including events where the patient's immune system has eradicated all traces of their tumor -- called spontaneous remission. It is difficult to tell if a tumor will relapse once it has gone into remission since much can change in one's life or health between diagnosis and relapse.

In 2013, studies have shown that removal of 85% or more of stomach cancer cells led to a 10% reduction in the risk of relapse. In other words, as long as ample amounts of stomach cancer cells are removed at surgery, there is a statistically significant chance that remission will be achieved.

Food Poisoning in Monsoon

How to Prevent Food Poisoning in Monsoon

Monsoon brings relief from the heat—but along with cool breezes and rains come increased chances of infections, especially food poisoning. The high moisture in the air creates a perfect breeding ground for bacteria, making food more likely to spoil and cause illness.

In this article, we’ll help you understand how to stay safe with easy, practical tips on how to prevent food poisoning in monsoon.

 

Why Is Food Poisoning So Common in Monsoon?

The damp and humid conditions during the rainy season promote bacterial and fungal growth. This contamination can easily affect the food we eat and the water we drink.

Common causes of food poisoning in monsoon include:

  • Eating contaminated street food
     

  • Drinking unfiltered or untreated water
     

  • Improper storage or refrigeration
     

  • Eating undercooked or reheated leftovers
     

Symptoms can range from mild stomach pain to vomiting, diarrhea, and fever—and can become serious if not treated on time.

 

How to Prevent Food Poisoning in Monsoon: Easy Tips

Let’s go step by step into what you should do (and not do) during this season to avoid foodborne illness:

 

1. Avoid Street Food and Raw Salads

Street vendors often use unclean water and keep food exposed to dust, flies, and pollution. In monsoon, this risk becomes even higher.

What to avoid:

  • Chaat, golgappas, sandwiches from carts
     

  • Cut fruits or raw vegetables sold outside
     

  • Juices from roadside stalls
     

Instead, eat home-cooked meals where you can control the hygiene.

 

2. Drink Only Boiled or Purified Water

Unfiltered water is a major cause of stomach infections during monsoon. Make sure your drinking water is:

  • Boiled for 10 minutes, or
     

  • Filtered using a RO/UV purifier, or
     

  • Packaged from a trusted brand
     

Avoid consuming water-based drinks like sherbets or ice made with unclean water.

 

3. Eat Fresh and Hot Food

In monsoon, bacteria multiply quickly. Avoid eating food that has been left out for hours.

Tips:

  • Eat freshly cooked meals while still warm
     

  • Avoid reheating food multiple times
     

  • Don't leave cooked food at room temperature for more than 2 hours
     

 

4. Refrigerate Perishables Quickly

Your fridge is your best friend in this season—but only if you use it right.

Refrigeration tips:

  • Store cooked food in airtight containers
     

  • Don't keep raw meat and vegetables together
     

  • Use leftovers within 24 hours
     

  • Check for expired or spoiled food regularly
     

 

5. Clean Fruits and Vegetables Properly

Rainwater often brings mud and germs to fresh produce. Even greens from the market can carry bacteria and insect eggs.

Cleaning tips:

  • Wash produce thoroughly with clean water
     

  • Use salt water or vinegar soak for 10–15 minutes to disinfect
     

  • Peel fruits like mangoes and bananas before eating
     

  • Avoid leafy vegetables that are difficult to clean, like spinach and lettuce
     

 

6. Practice Good Kitchen Hygiene

Contamination often starts in your kitchen.

Hygiene habits to follow:

  • Wash hands before and after handling food
     

  • Keep utensils and chopping boards dry and clean
     

  • Don't let water collect on kitchen surfaces
     

  • Wash dish cloths and sponges regularly
     

 

Related Health Checkups to Consider

If you're experiencing stomach problems or want to monitor your digestive health during monsoon, these lab tests (available via SecondMedic powered by Thyrocare) may help:

???? Complete Blood Count (CBC)

Checks for infections or inflammation.

???? Stool Routine & Culture Test

Detects bacterial infections, parasites, or digestive disorders.

???? CRP Test (C-Reactive Protein)

Shows whether your body is fighting an infection.

???? Food Intolerance Test

For people with recurring food-related digestive issues.

All tests come with home sample collection and online report access at www.secondmedic.com.

 

Foods You Can Eat During Monsoon

Here are some healthy, safe food choices during the rainy season:

  • Warm soups and khichdi – light and easy to digest
     

  • Steamed vegetables – safer than raw
     

  • Ginger tea – helps digestion
     

  • Turmeric milk – natural immunity booster
     

  • Boiled eggs or well-cooked lean meat
     

Avoid oily, uncooked, or refrigerated food that’s more than a day old.

 

Conclusion

Monsoon brings beauty, but also bacteria. Staying safe is all about being smart with your food and water. By following simple hygiene rules and eating fresh, clean food, you can enjoy the season without worrying about stomach issues.

Be alert, eat smart, and protect your family by following these tips on how to prevent food poisoning in monsoon.
