I know how you feel, but there is hope if it turns out to be cnacer. \n\nI am currently in the Bahamas with my Mother who has Terminal Lung Cancer. There is a clinic here that has been in operation for over 30 years. We have been here for 4 of our 8 week stay, everyday is really neat. A lot of the patients stick around in the meeting room/ waiting room to visit, and share stories and catch up. There were 40 people all talking and laughing, talking about cancer and life, the returning patients talk about how bad their cancer was 4, 8, 10 even 18 years ago when they started coming to the clinic, the cancer that has since disappeared. There is nothing dangerous or foreign to the treatment, just building up your immune system in a very effective manner. If you want to know more contact me or go to www.immunemedicine.com I cannot tell you how impressed I am with what I have seen and how my Mother has already improved. I know one man who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, he skipped all US, conventional (poisonous, dangerous) options and went to the Bahamas and is doing great now. Another man who has been coming here for 18 years that had prostate cancer. People with just about every type of cancer. But, they are honest here, you send them your medical information and they will tell you whether they believe they can help you or not, and they will send you home if they don't think you are benefiting. \n\nMy mom has shown drastic improvements and is feeling so much better. and we are in the Bahamas so we are having a good Mother-Daughter vacation.\n\nI have also done a lot of research on the Cesium Chloride/DMSO treatment and think that it has merit and you can do it at home.\n\nThe clinic here believes that a supplement/liquid called VIBE works really well in addition to other treatments, I am going to look in to that some more.\n\nUS doctors push chemo and radiation, but when you look at the statistics and side effects it is not a good option for most people. My Mom had both before we came here and now that I know more about them and have researched them I feel horrible that I let her go through them. She was lucky (so far) the only long term side effect she has shown is short term memory loss. \n\nThe stories I have heard from the other patients here about how they were treated by US medicine astound me. One lady went home to have a shunt put in her liver so she would be ok to come here, but they refused to put it in unless she agreed to do chemotherapy, is that what our country is about? Denying helpful procedures unless we agree to dangerous, toxic ones? The drug companies run US medicine at least when it comes to cancer treatment and it is sad. Most doctors will tell you not to try alternative medicine and some will refuse to even see you again if you do. To some degree they are not to blame, they have not been taught anything about it other than that it is evil and wrong and they would be rejected by their colleagues if they suggested alternatives.\n\nI would also like to tell you about another lady staying at the house we are staying at, she is 86 years old and has breast cancer. She arrived at the clinic the same day we did and is doing very well. Her immune system continues to improve and she gained 2 pounds since last week. She is absolutely thrilled with this treatment and knows that it is helping her.\n\nThere is another elderly gentleman who just finished his 8-week treatment and is feeling better as he returns home. He has cancer around his optic nerve, but also had diabeties. His daughter said that while he was here on the treatment he needed a lot less insulin than usual. I am NOT claiming that the treatment also helps with diabeties, I am just saying that is what his experience was.\n\nPlease whatever you do, research first. \n\nOne very helpful website is www.cancertutor.com\n\nGood luck!!

I'm taking their Medical Coding & Billing Diploma program.  I'm about half way finished.  So far I'm happy with my studies however I really wish there were interaction between students in the same program through a discussion board - espiecially once I get to the actual coding courses. It would be great to communicate back and forth with the instructor and other students to get some "real world" feedback.  Books can only teach you so much.

I'm afraid I don't have any information on Canadian Universities, but University of Kansas has a Master's program that is excellent.  I believe it's a master's in special education with a primary focus in autism.  Anyone who gets in quailifies for funding as well.

Both the US and Canada offer programs for International Medicine Studies.  Contact the Embassy for the country you plan to study in.  They can provide you the applications, requirements, and in most cases even help with the transfer credidation for your current school to the program that you wish to attend.

Well, Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue is a great little town to live in, on the water, quaint.  The campus is very separate from the main McGill Campus downtown...in fact the downtown campus students tend to make fun of the MacDonald campus, but they don't really have much connection other than the name.  MacDonald is connected to John Abbott, the CEGEP, so there are younger students around (CEGEP students are around 17-19 years old).  You're on the island of Montreal, but getting downtown if you don't have a car is long.  There's a shuttle that McGill offers between campuses in case you have classes downtown. Otherwise there's the 211 bus that will take you to a Metro stop - it can take between 45 minutes and 1 hour and a half depending on traffic.  My friend did environmental studies there and enjoyed it.  She spent her time between both campuses.  She was able to do lots of field work as well.  Montreal is a great place to live, you don't have to speak French.  In fact Ste-Anne's is in the "West Island" which is where the majority of the English population lives.  However if you want to learn French, the resources are there, you just need to take advantage of them.  Plus, if you're American even the international tuition will be cheaper than most American schools and also McGill still has its reputation as one of the best schools in Canada.  It's not easy though, you are marked harder here and there tends to be more competition between students.  Other statements about McGill are true - there's no school spirit, the football games aren't important (it is Canada after all...you're better off going to a Hockey game if you want to see a game).  The student body is made up of everyone from everywhere.  It's a very international school.  You'll get Anglophones and Francophones from quebec, tons of students from the rest of Canada, especially Ontario and all over the world. Students from Europe, Africa, Australia, South America, the Middle-East and Asia are just as common.  If you're American and planning on coming to study in Canada it's always good to be sympathetic and respectful of the country you're planning to live in.  Despite our proximity, we really are two different countries with very different value systems.

I dont know about that one. However, we have a couple of hospices down South - my uncle ended his life in one.  You must be going through a terrible time but, please be assured, this is the reason that hospices were set up.  Many terminally ill people to not wish to die in a depressing hospital ward, but need too much care to be allowed home.  Hospices provide a warm, calm and relaxing environment for patients to spend their last days in.  They provide a comfortably and serene alternative to noisy hospitals.  The staff are all specialists in serious and terminal illness and will take very great care of your dear Mum.   I hope this will be of some comfort to you.

The best one I know is Athabasca University in Alberta, Canada.  It has been around for a very long time and specialized in distance learning more than 30 years ago.  It is very well recognized.

Well, they're considered the Harvard of Canada :)  It probably depends on the program, how many applicants they have, etc.  You could probably get more information from calling or emailing admissions as well as the head of the department you're looking at.  \n\nI got my Masters from McGill - the department I was with had an incentive to bring in non-Canadians because they got part of the tuition money for a certain number of international students (which they wouldn't get from a resident).  The hardest part was getting the student visa and Quebec permits... but it was well worth the trouble.\n\nYou may also want to consider that the cost of housing in Montreal is VERY affordable, so my masters cost less than my bachelors (per year) at an out of state university.  Montreal is an amazing city, and keep in mind the drinking age is 18 so you can go out to all the clubs and bars as a freshman.\n\nwww.mcgill.ca
