My father has recently been diagnosed with prostate cancer. His PSA level was 6 which is why he had a biopsy done. The 1st Dr. (less experienced) said that his gleason score was 6. He had the slides reviewed by a 2nd Dr. that said his score was actually an 8. Now they want to run tests to see if the cancer has spread to his lymph nodes or bones. My father is only 53 and has always been in good shape (not that cancer cares). The Dr. said that he has a relatively small prostate. Does anyone know what the chances are of the cancer having spread and what treatment options are. I'm just scared and confused and want everything to be OK. My 2 children love their grandfather as well as myself and I just can't believe that this is happening. Anyone in similar situations? What was the outcome?

He had a mild stroke and they diagnosed him with stage 3 lung cancer. This is inoperable but they sent him home to prepare for chemo at another date. He then suffered a second stroke that has severely hindered and crippled him mentally and physically. What are the chances of surviving stage three, and did the second devastating stroke make his chances of surviving the cancer much slimmer. I only ask you this as I'm not in position to speak to the Doctor and I only see my friend but once a week. Thank you.

I have a 4 yr. old daughter and anytime she barely bumps her nose it begins to bleed. Sometimes she dosent even have to bump it for it to start. I have 3 other children and have never had this problem before it started about 2 months ago. Should I really be concerned? What could be causing this? I saw that frequent nose bleeds could be a sign of leukemia is this true?

could these be lymph nodes? If not, what the hell are they? They are hard, do not hurt and came out of nowhere. I do not run or stand or do anything else that would have caused them.

It is only the size of a pea, but it is the location that concerns me. It is right on the side of my neck. Not near a gland or anything, it does not hurt and I have not been sick at all. Because it has stayed fairly small, should I be concerned?

I elected to have a tram flap breast reconstruction after mastectomy and chemo. Now, six years later I am still paying a very dear price for this decision. I have spoken with other t.f. patients and all are having the same health problems. If you elect to have this procedure you may expect to have the following:1.Hernia (during the surgery , your abdominal muscles will be removed and shoved aside to make a tunnel for the fatty tissue that they will force out thru the hole where your breast was. Without those muscles your internal organs will eventually protrude outward. God put this barrier there for this very reason.) 2. Pain (your back will take on the added strain of not having muscles) 3. Numbness(your whole stomach will feel like youv'e had a shot of novocaine for the rest of your life!!) 4. More surgeries to correct all of this . But nothing will ever help . The damage will already be done. Please consider implants or.......nothing!! I wish I had. Good luck to all of you

My best friends mother found out 3 weeks ago she had stage 4 colon cancer they did surgery yesterday, she removed part of her small intestine and all of her female organs, b/c it had spread to there...He didn't remove the lymph nodes around that area b/c he said it didn't matter...He says he can't tell us anything until he gets results back from some test. He said this is a very aggressive cancer and she would have to fight it very aggressive with chemo. We kept trying to ask him questions but he said he could not answer them at this point. We just want to know what we are facing, can she beat this? What is the best case scenerio? If the chemo doesn't respond, then what? How long do we have w/her...weeks, months, years....will it return....so many questions...no answers....we just want someone to shoot it to us straight....if you can help i would greatly appreciate it...
