Cancer

My grandmother was diagnosed with bone cancer two years ago this past fall (unsure if osteosarcoma?) - recent blood counts have come back troublingly low, oncologist concerned that she's suffer metastisis to bone marrow. Is anyone aware of the general time frame associated with this progression? The only information I can find re: bone marrow cancer relates to non-hodgkins lymphoma, multiple myeloma, etc. Only educated answers, please.

Thanks in advance... just trying to prepare myself more thoroughly for the inevitable.

The reason why i ask this is that I have had at least two stools that I have noticed that part of them had red streaks on them ( not too many, just sporadically on a normally colored stool) , which caused me to get alarmed since it kind of made me think it was blood and they say that blood in stool can be a sign of colon cancer. Of course i did eat tomatoes when the two cases of the red in the stools occured as well as a red apple with the skin, but I am still worried, even though when I wipe there is no blood on the toilet paper, nor is the water all bloodied, but I am still unsure, and I am thinking of seeing a doctor soon.....Also the stools appear in many peices not just one whole one..My diet is also pretty healthy as I eat plenty of fruits and vegetables and low in red meat, and I am excercising and in pretty good shape....I am 18 by the way and no history of medical problems to date

What is the chances that I will get cancer? My great-grandfather had brain cancer, my great-grandmother has ovarian cancer and now my grandmother has kidney cancer. What are my chances of getting cancer later on in life? My mother has had a cyst on her ovaries and I have had an inflammation in my fallopian tubes years ago but nothing related to cancer.

He will have a tracheotomy performed in a couple of days, besides what doctors tell us is there anything else that we should know or look forward to. He just turned 36 years old a few days ago. Doctors haven't gave him a life expentancy, we believe in God and hope for the best. He will undergo chemotherapy and radiation.
