Cancer

My friends mother was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. She is 65 years old and in great health otherwise. They removed a tumor but discovered the cancer had spread to other places(lymph nodes) i believe. She is going in for surgery again tomorrow to have more removed. Any idea on what she faces in the future and possibly her odds of beating this??? any advice would be greatly appreciated.

My sister has had severe headaches for over a year now and the doctors have done test after test. After her last MRI they said that she had calcification on the imangioma of her brain. They said it is about 8-9mm.

I would very much like to cut down on my consumption of red meat. I'm interested in adding more fish to my diet, but my boyfriend and I are concerned about the levels of heavy metals in fish. How can I minimize the incidence of heavy metal in the fish that I buy? What should I do to make sure that the fish I eat will be good for me? Are there specific places in the world from where the fish is more "pure" than other places? What types of fish are usually affected most by heavy metals in the environment? Is there a chart or graph somewhere online that I could look up?

A lump under or shall I say in my neck and I tell you when I lift my head up it is very painfull and tonight I had a dry cough at my mothers house when I went there for dinner.I have not got a sore throat, or a fever, although it feels like I do, and I feel tired most of the time. I do not want to jumpt to conclusions here but what are the signs of Hogkins, lypmphnona(how ever you spell it). Should I leave it for a few weeks to see if it goes away, or get on to it ASAP. My mother told me if it is serious and I leave it it may be too late. Has anyone on here had or have got Hogkins or lymphna cancer of the lypmpnodes. What are you sypmtoms. The pain in the left had side near the lump is anoying, and antiboitics are not working at all, and does illness mess up your periods, as I am now 11 days late, and no I am not pregnant. What shall I do people, I need urgent advice from many people that will give me advice. Leanne

My glands have been up and down for several weeks now. When I move my head up the pain is bad. The doctor put me on antiboiotics and they have not worked for the first time, and it was Keflex.I have not got a sore throat, and I have not got a temprature, as it is 36 degrees(Australian standards).I have just got over bowel cancer and another one is not ruled out. The doctor seemed concerned and orderd blood tests for me today, and maybe a biopsy. Do you think I should leave this for about 1` monthe to see if it goes away the pain and the lump or do you think I should get onto it straigh away? I do not want to jump to conclusions now, but If I leave if for 1 month and it is still there with the pain, I would worry . My mother told me tonight If I leave it and it is serious it will spread and it might be too late. But I do want to leave it for a few weeks to see if it goes away, but if not and I still get the pain then I will go to a doctors. I also feel very unwell, like a virus feeling,

Last week I noticed a small reddish spot on top of my right breast, almost near the arm pit. There is no lump or heat, but it was sore whenever it was touched.

One week later, the soreness is pretty much gone, but the spot is still there, although it looks lighter than what it used to be (more pinkish now, not too noticeable). I have no idea if this is a bruise or something more serious. I've looked on several websites saying that redness was a symptom of Inflammatory Breast Cancer, and now I'm terrified I might have that! The breast doesn't look larger, there's no "pitting" or "orange like texture", no swollen glands, and the spot hasn't spread, but I'm very nervous.

Does this sound like it could be IBC? Should I see my doctor? I am 21 years old and have never been pregnant. Please help!

I am 35, f, heavy set. Recently (last 3 nights), I have woke up slightly sweaty. Not drenched, but like under my breasts, lower back, and back of neck. I suffer from panic/anxiety and of course, when I wake up sweaty, I think I have cancer.
Am I having night sweats like people with lymphoma do? No fevers. I think my lymph node USED to be swollen under my arm, but it went away.
Please let me know.

My mom was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer last april. She's gone through chemo and radiation but now is on all sorts of drugs. One drug, "Chantix" is to help her quit smoking and the others are to keep the cancer from coming back.
She's taking Armidex to keep the cancer from coming back and Clonidine to help with the side effects from the Armidex. The drug label says that if she misses more than two doses it can lead to heart attack or stroke!!!
She says she'd rather smoke marijuana like in the old days because all this stuff is so scary.
I appreciate any advice and information. Thanks!!!

Is it from family history? Living an unhealthy life? What causes cancer? Or is the cause unknown, and it just kind of shows up?

In February 2001, a federal government-sponsored report under the auspices of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) was published finding "noteworthy cases of survival" among cancer patients using the Hoxsey herbal treatment.

My sister just passed away on Tuesday, she had cervical cancer and found out in November (stage 3) and doctors said it was too advanced. She had radiation and chemo. She was only 45 years old and she went to the gyn every year for her pap smear. So where did they go wrong or how come it wasn't detected? She was very health consious.
Please help me understand, I say this is not fair!!!!
