Cancer

My husband is four years post Hodgkin's Lymphoma. He completed 12 rounds of chemo and 22 radiation treatments, and is in remission. The chemo damaged some heart muscle and he has developed an arrythmia for which he takes a daily beta blocker. His last two CAT scans, six months apart, have revealed two swollen lymph nodes. His white blood count is normal, however; his red blood count is unusually high (he takes a baby aspirin for that). What are some possible explanations for the two swollen nodes? Could the cancer be recurring?

My idea to cure cancer is to give the worlds top ten scienticsts cancer. I can garantee that in three months you'd have 20 different cures!

My husband has been thinking about getting a colonoscopy he has a family history of having colon cancer. He is scared to say the least of both the procedure and the out come. He is always looks on the bad side of things. He says the same thing allot of men say and think "If its not broke don't fix it". I tell him that It might be broke and you will not know untill it is really bad. I was wanting some feed back from all of you that had the proceedure done to respond and tell him what he is to expect? Also for all of you that found the worst and have been under treatment and have beat it by being diagnosed earlier? I will have him read these answers and try to get him to get it done. Thanks ahead of time for your answers.

Im 18 and I was told that I had a breast infection,because I had a swollen left breast nipple and it was red and warm to the touch and sore..I was given Antibiotics and told if it doesnt get better that is when to come back to the doctor and that is the time to worry...Well two weeks on antibiotics did nothing,So the doctors think I have a rare form of breast cancer Called Iflammatory Breast Cancer also known as I.B.C..Very few women know about it untill it is too late because,you do not have to have a lump to have this from of cancer....I just wanted to let other women know about this aggressive form of cancer....Sometimes with cancer I do feel like im alone because I am so young...dont ever think you are too young for breast cancer!!

I have a small cyst on my back. Doc. said it's small but as a precaution to have it surgically removed. She would be VERY surprised if it was cancerous (they're usually not). I'm scheduled to remove it next week.

The cyst has decreased in size and is barely noticeable but I can still feel something hard on the skin. Should I even bother having it removed? The only reason I would was to rule out cancer and if it's decreasing I'm guessing cancer wouldn't get smaller?

What do you guys think.

I was told this by my mother. She said that it happens through sexual contact and wasn't for sure if there was a way for this to happen, kind of like cervical cancer is caused by sexual contact with men when women get older.

How can we make curing cancer a global priority?
When I was ten years old, my younger brother Jeff died of leukemia.

Cancer kills 7 million people worldwide each year. Yet it is a treatable disease that—in time—is beatable. However, in today’s troubled global environment, valuable resources that would otherwise go to cancer research are frequently re-directed by the crisis du jour.

What can we, as individuals and as a global community, do to focus & mobilize our governments to find the cures that will make cancer a fear of the past?

I am wondering about the experiences of people who have had cervical cancerous legions and cervix removed, and went five years with no recurrence. Thanks. Not worried too much - I had it removed 1 year ago - but I kind of avoid thinking about it at all.

Cancer survivor who had a radical prostectimy in 99 and fought off a rising psa with chemo in 2003. Psa was rising very slowly until recently then spiked from 1.4 to 2.9 in a short period of time. I had been on Licopene and Soy but ran out of soy 2 months ago and didn't purchase a refill. Now I have doubled the soy dosage to 1500 mg a day half in the morning and half at night. I have started taking Q-sorb coenzyme Q-10 50mg twio with a meal. What else can I do to fight the rising PSA?

There is a lump found in the brain of my sister in- law , which cause her seizures and it weakens her left hand and leg. She undergoes so many test and the doctors advised her for brain biopsy so that they will know what treatment to be applied. Is brain biopsy an assurance that she will be okay after the operation?
