My MIL just had surgery for colon cancer. They've tested her lymph nodes, and received positive results on over half. She will be undergoing chemo after she's healed from the surgery. What, in someone's informed opinion, does her prognosis look like?

It's not really a question, it's really a thank you. I am the mother of Laura W, the girl with lung cancer. I just thought you would like to know she passed away this morning. She left me some instructions and this is one of the things she wanted me to do. Again, thank you. Your support has been overwhelmingly supportive.

My son has had a lump in his neck for 7 months now. Ive taken him to the doctors about 6 times he says there is nothing to worry about. My son has also been losing weight and is tired all the time and sweats alot at night. He suffers from adhd so is always on the go and used to have little sleep and was on medication to help him to sleep. Now he is going to sleep striaght away after school and doesnt need his medication and also going to sleep at school as well. His school have commented how calm and relaxed he since he gone back to school and that it too much of a change. He has just had a blood test and it came back that he is slighty anemic. My gp says everything is fine but im not sure should i ask for a second opinion and ask for an appointment to see what the lump is at the hospital

My mother has brain cancer, and I was wondering what the average life expectancy is. The tumor she had before was in an unoperable area, and they cannot opperate. They are going to try using chemo therapy, they've used radiation once before to shrink the tumor. Back then they mistakenly said that it was benign, though it was malignant the entire time.

anyone have any kinds of statistics about it, or anybody who knows a bit more about have an idea of how much time...?
I know it's not something that you can just say, but if you have an idea...

My mom in law has had cancer- thriving and in remission - for the past 10 years. This last round has left her ill,tired in body and spirit and giving up. Note, this is not a person who normally would give up, and it appears she's thought about it well. So now, how do we help her with this decision to die? My spouse is taking it quite well, saying it is fully her decision, but my bro in law definitely will not take it as well.

Any suggestions, ladies and gents, on how to make this easy for her? Be aware, there is no way to convince her to continue treatments that don't seem to be working. Nor would I try to force that on her.

I am a woman, and I worry about breast cancer. But, I am also curious as to why breast cacner gets more attention than any other cancer, like say prostate cancer. I think that prostate cancer, and other men's cancers, are being highly ignored and improperly treated, while breast and other women;s cancers are getting more attention. I also believe September is prostate cancer awareness month, and that breast cancer is still getting more attention. I only bring this up, because I recently lost an uncle to prostate cancer, and this was because when he went for treatments, the doctors didn't have the proper vaccines, and even told us that most of the vaccines were being used to cure breast and ovarion cancers in women. Not to offend, but what ever happened to equal rights? I think prostate cancer should get the same amount of attention as breast cancer, just as I feel men's cancers should get the same attention as women's cancers.

My mom has had many problems with Diverticulitis. In Jan she was in the hospital for 9 days, and recently she was in for 3 for what they thought was Diverticulitis. After some sort of test (I am not sure what it was) it showed that she was not in active Diverticulitis, but had a build up of scar tissue from having it so many times. She was to have a colon resection next week when the doctor decided to do a colonsocopy today to rule out Crohn's and IBS.

Whew...ok, almost there...so in my experience (breast cancer survivor) doctors do not always say they are looking for cancer. My mom's mom died of colon cancer, so there is a risk, but I am wondering if there is anyone out there who has had something like this happen, colon cancer being "hid" by something else.
