I Have A Friend Who Has Been Diagnosed With Three
Question: I have a friend who has been diagnosed with three different types of cancer- colon pancreatic & thyroid. I would like to visit him as his prognosis is not good- the Doctors have given him only a few months of life expectancy. He has refused most traditional medicine & has chosen to treat himself through natural & holistic medicine.
1) do you think that I should be concerned about any risk to my personal health ?
2) is any of this contagious?
3) do you have any general recommendations?

Brief Answer:
Cancer is not contagious
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Cancer is not a contagious disease
You can meet him
Nothing to worry
No risk to your personal health
Since he has cancer in 3 places unfortunately prognosis is very bad.
He will survive less than 6 months.
His symptoms can be reduced by 10 percent by conservative management like if he is having pain morphine can be given
