No, I am afraid not: While I am quite religious myself, i dont think the power of prayer alone will work or enough to treat any cancer.To treat head and neck cancer - 3 modalities are commonly used - chemo, radiation and surgery-either as a single or combined modality, treatment will depend on the location and the stage of disease. The power of prayer hopefully will help guide you through the treatment process above.

Read my answer: I tell my patients there were people before you who also prayed. God answered by providing the tools we have such as dr ho stated with surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. As god created everything that includes modern medicine. By prayer and positive attitude the treatment god has provided you can work and your prayers answered. Remember that sometimes god had a different plan for you.

Prayer and: Cancer. The pharynx goes from your nose to the area behind the voice box (the larynx!). Nose and throat cancers are serious. Prayer may help you cope, may give you grace to deal with your problem, and perhaps choose a good team to carry out treatment. Do not rely on prayer to fix your physical problem. I'll pray for you to see the light in this one. Seek and ye shall find.

Prayer: In this day and age, in addition to prayer you have many different health resources available. I believe that our bodies are a gift & that we are responsible to take care of them - which includes seeking medical care when ill. See below >>>>>.
