I am living what some would call a "cosmic irony" -- waited all my life to get augmentation and now have breast cancer. I am looking for insight from someone who has gone through treament -- how does it affect them as opposed to other women who have not had implants?

I almost feel like my life is at a stop, and I cant do anything, as it is just so hard to work and do normal thaings day to day. Im not sure how to do everything like carry on with my job to pay bills etc, it just doesnt seem worth it anymore. Any helping suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

first off, please don't give me any DUH answers: smoking is an addiction, so even though someone is aware of the the dangers caused by smoking, it's not that easy.

that being said, any suggestions to help a friend who's trying to quit? it's really important to her, so i want to help in any way i can. i believe she's looking into the patch or the two-step program, but i didn't know if anyone had helped a friend get through this before, successfully. thanks!

I want to stay healthy. Colon cancer is only one of many things that could eventually afflict an otherwise healthy individual. What other screening tests are recommended for people over 50?

My only risk factors I can think of are the fact my father had a minor bout of melanoma that he was completely cured of, and my mother had lung cancer and died of leukemia. My mother was a lifelong smoker, though, and the docs think the leukemia which occurred suddenly before her death was the result of years of chemotherapy. Thanks for any input.

so that is what I want to know. The doctors tell me that colonoscopys are not used in detection of cancer of the anus, but for the bowel why is that. Becasue it has taken me a long time to find out what type of caner I am dealing with here. I first put all my sypmtoms down to bowel cancer, as I was getting diarea with blood, consitipation mucas etc, now I found out that I have an abnormal lump in my anas that is malignant, and getting all the white discharge with blood coming down with it, and my lymp nodes are swollen in my groin area. I have not yet started treatment as I will soon.But I want to know why a colonoscopy did not pick this up? and I am getting pain of and on raidiating down my left knee which is painful I am getting this of and on. why? Please help

I am currently awaiting results from an abnormal colposcopy, and have just discovered a lump in my breast.

I am completely knackered with what i thought might be a chest infection and was umming and ahhing about going to my gp about it, when i found the lump yesterday.

As an ex nurse i am of course putting 2 and 2 together and coming up with 56!!!

I know no one can give me any difinative answers, but has anyone any experience of multiple cancer sights. I am only 35 and a single mum of 2 children, the thought of questioning my own mortality is very scary.

A Doctor has a Colonostopy sceduled for Nov. 27th, 2007. Should I be concerned? I am only 30, but cancer runs in my family. I also have a Lump about 3 inches from my colon which they are worried about. They already did a Stool Sample and they said there was a form of infection. But they aren't sure what kind. They told me also that my white blood cell count was low and my Liver enzymes were very high. What does this all mean?

After having the testicle removed (thats all they told me), shouldn't normal ejaculation return? I do not recall them saying other wise, it was stage one. And that ability has not returned. And the sex drive has really gone down, (no desire for it or solo sex).
Is this normal?

I've just been diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. I'm told the prognosis is excellent, everything on my side, but I'm going to need 6 rounds of chemo, every 3 weeks for 15 weeks, each lasting about 6 hours. I'll be in as a day patient for them so no overnight stays hopefully, and I'm wondering where I stand with work.

I've spoken to some people who've done the R-CHOP treatment and they've all said I may well be able to work through it if my job was light and I reacted okay, but that the side-effects and fatigue got worse with each cycle so I'd have to see how it goes.

Where do I stand legally on this? Do I have to provide my employer with a certificate, and if so is it from my GP or my oncologist? Even if I do need time off it'll be a few days here and then, not a prolonged period. I should have asked the doctor at the hospital but it didn't occur to me at the time.

Thanks
