Cancer

I had a mammogram done last Friday. I was called this week and asked to come back for another Mamo and an ultrasound. A large area was found and now they want to biopsy this coming Wednesday...I've pretty much been told to expect Cancer...Still laying on the table, it finally sunk in...I cried a lot and worried about the plans I'm going to screw up for my husband this summer. I haven't told him anything yet. My youngest son graduates from college in 3 weeks. I won't make any surgical arrangments before then. My husband already has the plane tickets for Vegas. He wants to celebrate his 60th out there this year, the end of June(we go a couple of times a year) ....can anyone tell me what to expect if this biopsy comes back positive...how soon do I have to schedule any type of surgery? The radiologist is already talking possible chemo and radiation...I'm so mind numb right now...can anyone help me with some info?

My sister-in-law age 37, just found out the other day that she has melanoma stage 4. She has two boys age 10 and 15, no insurance of any kind and a husband of 11yrs that is soo torn up by the news of his wife. I want them to know I am there for them. They do not want to talk about the "what ifs", but reality is at any time something bad could happen. How can I help them with what they are going through? They live in Texas and I live in Alabama, so seeing them is a problem with distance. I am planning a trip to see them in July.

Well after a lot of tests all his bloods where very very low and pilates were at 60 instead of average 200 to 500 and he has nerve damage to his legs and feet due to alcohol.
He has been refered to hemotoligy and neuroligy.
The way he Dr was talking it is very serious and due to quickness of his appointments both in May this makes me more concerned. He hasnt had a drink since seeing the Dr Can any one give me any links or if anyone has had or knows of anyone with this problem and can it be cured.
I am very worrried as the hemotoligy appointment is in the cancer unit. I did ask the GP but she said unfortunatly she hasnt got a crystal ball.Before any smart Alec says excuse my spelling....PS I may also say the GP was very good

My mom has gone for her first chemo treatment today... I have no idea what to expect as I am taking care of her tonight. Will she be feeling her worst right after chemo? Or is it over a few days? What do I have to be careful of while caring for her? Any help is appreciated.

Has anyone had one and does it affect your sexual life? My doctor told me that if a gene test comes back positive for a cancer gene in my uterus, that I should consider a hysterectomy. Cancer of the uterus is common in my family. So, could you please tell me if I choose to have this done how it will affect my life and my sexual life. Thank you so much.

In a party election broadcast by the Scottish Christian Party for the elections to Holyrood on May 3rd, the following statement was made:

"Teenagers who have an abortion are up to 800% more likely to develop breast cancer later in life"

Is this statement true and if so, where is the documentary evidence to back this statement up. Please state when answering whether you are pro abortion / Roe v Wade, anti abortion / Row v Wade or undecided.

I recently finished radiation therapy to the brain for a small cell tumor (5cm/5cm, left hemisphere) and I wish to fight it w/ other options as well.

Will vitamins reduce to effectiveness of the radiation delivered to my brain?

What about anti-oxidants like Flaxseed, grapeseed extract, selenium(which I'm told is a particularly potent free radical scavenger), and others?

What about Taurine and Colostrum which are said to be respectively protective of the brain and promote healing? Would those lessen the effects of the radiation treatment?

I keep getting differring responses from my oncologist, radiotherapist, neurosurgeon and my pharmacist!! Very confusing.

Any help, answers or suggestions will be greatly appreciated! S/he who takes the time and energy to help as much as possible will be rewarded with a "best answer" rating and my everlasting gratitude! I know it isn't much, but it's all I have to give.

Thanks a lot, everyone!

Pls help! Irregular period?
I have very light "period" or rather, some small amount of red and tissue blobs...especially after i peed. for more than 3 weeks a month. And it has been going on for about 5 months. I will only have clear days for about a week or two, then, followed by the endless wait for it to be clear again.

I am overweight and 30 years old. Is it quite common? or am i having the symptoms of cervical cancer?

Pls help...I am anxious to find out. Thanks!

I am not on any sort of medication and birth control. Thanks all!

We got informed that he is fighting for his life, right now. Or he can be paralized from this. Is this a though thing to survive from, my friend is very young he's 14, and I'd be devastated if he died so young. In the beginning of the school year, he was pretty normal, but towards the end of the year, he couldn't walk without a cast.
