    Don't go to the hospitals as it is a waste of time. Go directly to the Red Cross to donate blood to get around the hospitals' silly rules.

    Opiods are available here. A friend with bone cancer was sent home to die and he was given morphine and fentanyl to control his pain.
    I don't know how he found a doctor that could prescribe the medicine, but he did.

    Hair loss with chemotherapy depends on the dose and other factors - it is not always the case that chemotherapy causes hair loss of any significance. The doubts associated with the success of chemotherapy link clearly to the metastases; metastasizing is not a sign of success. Seems to me that her greatest need now is pain control. Blessed are those of us not afflicted.

    Strange request as 40% of the population is 0+. I have never seen a family gathering here that was not attended by 30 to 50 relatives when I am paying for the lechon and beer. So my question is why is this child's family (and I feel for her) not lined up at the hospital to save her. Has she no family , friends, classmates, relatives etc??? Call me a heartless @ss but I can't be the only one wondering this. I hope she survives and after the family has all donated, sold their cars, phones, pigs etc....I will give a pint...

    There will never be a single cure for "cancer". There are many different types of cancer that require different types of treatments.

    Sorry to hear about this. May she RIP.

    The Philippines is notorious for their p*ss poor pain management. Nothing new here.
