@dr.yousufzafar: People have been talking about this for years now, and it likely stands from conversations that surgeons have with cancer patients, and their family members after an attempt at surgery: “We opened him up, and the cancer had spread” ##cancer##cancerawareness##cancertok##oncology

Yes, that’s from back in the day, when they finally did surgery, the cancer was already stage 4. So they put two and two together, and got five. I remember hearing that in the 1950’s. Everyone thought this was true.

3 people I know had a biopsy, cancer spread rapidly within a month afterwards, all had scans before hand saying the cancer was localized stage 1, post biopsy all had stage 4 and died within a year

There was a girl here on Tiktok, who had a sarkoma. She had 1 met on her lungs. They did a surgery and within 2 weeks she had lungs full of mets.

What if the surgeon didn’t do the surgery properly and it spread to limph and blood? - you just said “ it much as possible “, so it’s possible?

Can you do a video on the effects of chemo on organs. I'm on Capecitabine and now having liver issues. My ELF Score is 8.93 and chemo also damaged my pancreas and now pre-diabetic and taking diabetic meds. Seems like what is saving my life is also causing other health issues.

Dr is focal lymphatic invasion just as dangerous as having lymph node involvement?

Yes I’ve heard by taking a biopsy it will spread it but I’m never sure who’s right

What I find about cancer and air is that the wider world treat the word cancer like the Harry Potter world treat the word voldermort. You can say it aloud without fear.

I've never heard the air thing but the cutting, and "as much as possible" may not be good enough. After all the cells are of microscopic levels.

Mom had a spindle cell sarcoma they took a big chunk of her back away to give her a few more years she died within 6 months spread all over her chest ☹️I’m sorry but I definitely think messing with it will spread it a lot quicker
