Hello, Today I'm very sad because on Tuesday my sister was diagnosed with UTERINE CANCER and it was confirmed yesterday(Thursday). The doctors say it's too far beyond to remove the uterus, tubes and ovaries. My worry is that she got married like a year and a half ago and her husband's ex-wife died from the same, Can cancer be transmitted or some virus or bacteria that can cause cancer be transmitted sexually? Is there anybody that survived or has someone close that have survived

Hi,
I'm a 32 year old breast cancer survivor, diagnosed15 months ago. I had 4 positive lymph nodes. I had a mastectomy with lat dorsi reconstruction & 6 months of chemo & 6 weeks of radiation.

I am now feeling 'normal' again, except some operation-site body discomfort.

Of course, I have no idea if I got the cancer early enough. Maybe I'm cured? maybe there's a few specks floating around that will resurface somewhere in a few years and my life will be cut short?
I'll never know.

how do i remember to LIVE EACH DAY FULLY?
I remember at diagnosis the immense feeling of mortality and how IMPORTANT it was to live each day with purpose & meaning, but now things seem back to normal, and I'm just back to 'normal' living.
I don't like this. I want an EXTRAORDINARY life, because if my life could be shortened, I don't want to die regretting things I never did & yet I find it so hard to put that into action by DOING what I really want to do.
Please tell me what works for u. any tips?

renal cell cancer, tumor adhered kidney to vena cava, occluded a kidney vein and began to occlude the vena cava; grew very hard & became bone; what would have happened if this had not been discovered and corrected?

too quickly. I had tightness in my chest, couldn't catch my breath, became very warm & flushed. The nurses quickly reacted & got it under control but it was scary. Does this happen often & how should I prevent it from happening again? I haven't seen anyone around me go through this?

I have a family member/friend whose right breast starting aching for a few days. Then one day, fluid starting coming out. When it came out, the fluid was white, then clear and then followed a little blood. She went to see a doctor, but they were unsure exactly what it could be. Her doc said it could be relating to a tumor so they're scheduling her for a mammogram. It's only happening with her right breast and there are no lumps. Does anyone have any info on what the cause could be? Is a tumor possible? She just had her mentrual cycle this week and she's on the pill so she's positive she's not prego. Thanks guys!

I just got a call from my doctor. She found a hard mass on my ovary(not a fluid-filled cyst). She said is is highly unlikely that it is ovarian cancer because I am only 29. I do have to go for more blood work and another ultrasound in 4 weeks to see if it disappears. What are the chances of having ovarian cancer at 29. I have infertility problems(PCOS) and this was the reason for the ultrasound. Can anyone help?

okay so my mom just had a mamogram [spelling??] and her doctor just sent her a letter saying they need to redo the left one which has never happened before. she says the receptionist told her it might be because it's blurry or something. could she have breast cancer even though we're not related to anyone who has it. does it even have to do with being related to a cancer person?

I discovered dt most patients wt CA of the breast are experiencing early menopause not minding their age & I think is the chemo & radiotherapy they are taking that is causing it but someone told me it is the cancer cell that cause it but I disagreed because I saw a woman wt advanced CA of the breast that gave birth to a baby.(the delievery was through sesarian cession & the pregnancy was 7month old)

My husband is from a big family, and three people in his family have died, or are dying, of cancer in the last few years: a brother, a sister, and a brother-in-law. His siblings and spouses are aged 45 to 70, and there are 20 of us. How does this compare to the percentage of the general population? Would you say cancer is prevalent in his family?

First of all I am 19 and I have been dipping for 3 years. I have been having sore throats for a few months. The first two times the doctor just said it was probably strep throat and i got some meds and I was fine in a day or two. Well this time it happened again, except it hasn't gone away quite as quick. So I got a light and looked in my throat and there is a little bump about half the size of a pencil eraser on my Oropharnx. It is a around the same color as the throat and has a little red mark in the center. My throat doesn't really hurt bad now, it just feels funny when i swallow or when my throat gets dry. I hope its not a forming tumor or anything like that. The roof of my mouth hurts a little when i swallow also.

Maybe I am a hypochondriac but I am a little worried, I am also trying my hardest to quit dipping.

Hi, I recently found a small cyst on my back up near my shoulder on the right side. You can move it around some- and I am sure its nothing- but the doc said it needs to come out and be biopsied. Does anyone know of these types of cysts? You cannot see it through the skin- so there is no color- I think the cyst is white inside. I also found a small lump in my wrist- and the doc took an x ray and I wont know results of that- but I do hear of gangolin cysts in wrists that are benign. On top of all that I have a strange mucousy cough that WILL NOT go away and the doc took tests for that too- blood work. Antibiotics are not helping the cough or other over the counter meds. I have had that for 4 weeks.
