This is purely hypothetical; just something I've been wondering.

I know that you can't be an organ donor if you've been diagnosed with, or in some cases, have a history of cancer... I recently lost a family member who had wanted to be an organ donor but couldn't due to metastatic cancer.

But let's say your spouse needs a kidney to live, and you decide to donate one to him. And let's say you have undiagnosed, asymptomatic cancer and a tumor on your kidney? Do they screen all transplanted organs for cancer (before or after removal) if they have no reason to believe it's there in the first place?

Like I said, I'm just curious... what with the way HIV used to be transmitted through blood transfusions; I was wondering if it was possible to pass on undiagnosed cancer through organ transplants.

What is your first thought if ( God forbid ) you have been diagnosed with cancer and know that you are going to go through some very tough times. Times where you may feel death is a better option then going through so much physical pain. The thought of leaving your loved ones behind etc?
What would you do? Would you think you are cursed and why you? or would you look at it in a positive manner as its given you the time to slow down from the fast pace we lead, enjoy the time with your family ( time you never had ), see some lovely places ( not on business ), fall in love with your wife/GF once again?

My friend has a tumour at one of her kidney. Doctor say no sign of spreading. But surgery is recommended. In the meantime while waiting for surgery, which is about 1 motnhs later, what should she be paying attention to? is there any food or herbs that she needs to take so she could recover faster after surgery?

I am in my early 20s and have lived with either bulimia and, or anorexia for almost 10 years. I have recently (4 years ago) found out my grandmother on my fathers side who died of cancer before I was born, was bulimic- though used laxatives (I do not use laxatives), she got stomach cancer which she died from.
I worry alot about this, and would be glad if anyone knows of a conclusive answer to this,
(wish it was enough to push me to stop but it doesnt work like that!)

How long does it take after somebody begins smoking before throat cancer could develop? Would a year be long enough, if the person was never a heavy smoker (a pack a day) - usually averaging out to one a day?

I had a pap smear come back with the results of having abnormal cells to the cervix. Then about 3wks ago i had a cervical biopsy done and was told that i had servere dysplasia. That my cervical cells were so abonormal. What does this mean? Do i have cancer and they did not want to tell me over the phone so i would not worry. Which i am, and so is my boyfriend. We cried together last night fear of me having cancer and the worse happen. The nurse at the clinic said that they are going to make an appointment with a specialist as soon as i get my financial papers in the mail. Which i received today and have to wait until MOnday being that the offices are closed on the weekend. Ahh. I dont know what to think. I am so stressed out and depressed.

Husband just diagnosed after two months of narrowing symptoms down (sudden extreme high blood pressure, developed diabetes, sudden 50 lb weight gain, walking with a cane, breathing and talking at same time an issue (sounds like he ran a marathon)) with Cushing's. CT x 1 week ago shows tennis ball sized carcinoma on adrenal gland, kidney. Other is OK. Also located small lump posteriorly in one lung. Surgery in 4 days, prognosis "grave" (hate that word, "grave"). Most adenocarcinoma info I find is talking about lung but that is not the concern right now. Looking at surgery (got good surgeon) and good hospital, chemotherapy and "possibly an experimental thing"?? Going to take tumor, possibly kidney and some lymph glands (nodes?) and they say "we'll see when we get in there".
