Cancer

If you've read any of my comments you know my husband has stage 4 non small cell lung cancer. It is now in his brain. I'm tired. I take care of him, work, take care of the house and kids and try to manage financially. I want help but those who said call me if you need anything are not available. I've tried organizations but we have too much money to qualify even though that's by just a few dollars and we are broke by the time bills get paid. I have a few family members near but they don't even call. If I ask them to help me they can't or say call an organization. I'm really tired and getting angry. Misplaced anger I guess. How does someone get help like a respite? I just need a break.

Cure of cancer is possible because I myself have experimented it to my sister who was diagnosed with cancer of the stomach she is now in her 6th year after the cancer was found very much alive and full of enthusiasm. By the way I gave her acupressure therapy that changes cancer cells with new cells

I understand that its really him fighting it and not me, but we have been doing this for 2 years now, dont get me wrong I DONT want him to give up, its just that this is all getting to me. Im so tired of the same thing over and over, rushing to the hosp in the middle of the night becuase of high fever that they cant expalin. His cancer has spread now and they basicly told us there is nothing they can do, they can give more kemo but eventualy the cancer will out smart the treatment.

I know if I feel this way, I cant even imagine what he is going through, but i feel guilty because im so tired of everything, not to mention im exhaused Im 4 months pregnant and that also takes a toll on me. I worry that he wont be here to see his first grandchild. I think basicly its just the stress thats getting to me. That and the guilt. Does anyone have any suggestion, or have had a similar experence? thanks in advace. This is just such a hard time.

Does anyone who has seen or been along side someone with Cancer or Terminal illness till the end believe that Euthinasia should not have been an option? It seems we show our animals more respect in their lives that when they become sick we dont want to see them suffer so we make the decison for them to have them euthinized. Why can we not have the same right to decide and ask for help to achieve the same end without the suffering.

My grandmother has been smoking for years & still does. But she keeps getting thinner & thinner day by day no matter what or how much she eats. I was wondering if that could be a sign of a type of cancer.

When a cancer patient undergoes radiation treatments, do they lose their hair? My mom is getting radiation on her hip for bone cancer and we were trying to think if she will lose her hair again or not. The first/last time she had radiation it was on her breast, right after her chemo so she was already bald. Does anyone know if radiation on a lower part of the body causes baldness?

I have a STRONG family history of breast cancer. A total of 7 women in the past four generations have been diagnosed only one is still alive. My mother was diagnosed at 28 and died 11 years ago. Anyway I mentioned to my assistant, during a girly conversation, that I was going to wait until I was diagnosed with cancer to have a breast job. She got upset with me and said I shouldn't say that.

I feel that facing the reality that my chances of getting breast cancer is much greater than not (I have the genetic marker too) Therefore I don't feel that I am being doom and gloom, but realistic. I also want my daughters to prepare emotionally in the event that I am diagnosed so they know it isn't a death sentance but a disease that we can fight and win!

My daughter who was recently diagnosed with colorectal cancer and is scheduled to undergo chemo and radiation shortly, is saying that until they do the surgery to remove the tumor (following shrinking the tumor from chemo and radiation) they will not be able to tell what "stage" she is in. Is this true? I thought they could tell the stage from the biopsies they took from her when she had her colonscopy. Is there a doctor out there that could shed light on this for me? I have done a search about colorectal cancer, but cannot find the answers I'm seeking. Please help. Thanks.

Is there a doctor out there who could give me some information about colorectal cancer, or anyone who may have had it already? My 35 year old daughter was recently diagnosed with this, and the entire family is stunned. None of us can believe it. She begins her treatment on the 19th... chemo will be a constant infusion except on weekends, and the radiation will be 5 days a week. This will go on for 5 weeks in order to shrink the tumor, and then they will do surgery and remove it. She was told that her lymph nodes in her abdomen are enlarged too, so she will receive radiation to that area as well. She already can't have kids, and has no children, so compromising her fertility is not an issue. We just are scared silly at this point, and I am searching for answers or for someone who has been through it to "shine a light" for me. Any help at all would be appreciated. Thank you.
