A local family who we are close friends with has just has two family members diagnosed with cancer and leukemia. I know they will be spending lots of time at the hospital, and would like to make a sort of "care package" basket full of things that they will need or may come in handy. Some things they can just "grab and go" to take to the hospital which would be helpful to the family. I was thinking lotion, hand sanitizer (lots of miniature size things), hair brushes, combs, little toothbrushes, mini toothpaste, deodorant maybe?, crackers, advil, tylenol, candy bars, mini chip bags, gum, breath mints, etc. I would like to know what any of you who have had personal experience with this would suggest. ALL SUGGESTIONS WELCOME!!! Please help me, I would like to make this soon!

I live thousands of miles away from someone very important to me who has a growing stomach tumor. She is too sick to work and I don't know the first thing about facing a life threatening illness, insurance, or getting treatment. Once I found out about her condition I've been working as much as I can but I just don't make enough money to help. I think blue shield costs $400 a month but that's just too expensive. Are there other options available?

It seems to me that there is ALOT of attention on breast cancer. When i go shopping i keep seeing pink ribbons. if toy go to the american cancer society website the first thing you will notice is a pink ribbon with the words In focus:breast cancer. Why? I understand that breast cancer is a horrible disease and i sympathize with anyone who suffers from it but it is the 5th deadliest cancer. That means there are 4 that kill more but get far less attention.

Lung cancer will kill an estimated 170,000 people while breast cancer will kill an estimated 40,000

My daughter was diagnosed with Medulloblastoma in June this year. Due to the negative prognosis, we didn't go for surgery, chemotherapy & radiotherapy. Instead we relied on traditional Chinese medications that have been used to treat brain tumor patients in China. Its already 4 months now since her diagnose and there are both positive & negative symptoms.

My grandfather just found out he has cancer of the esophagus. I have done some reading and I have no illusions of him beating this disease. He is 80 years old and has led a good life. I want to know what his death will be like. I had an uncle die from lung cancer last year and it was the worst thing I have ever seen. He was completely unrecognizable when he died. Please tell me this won't happen to my grandfather.

Does burning paper really give out carcinogens? I heard that carcinogens are found in cigarettes. Does burning paper and inhaling the smoke really have carcinogens in it?

I need advice on how to stop smoking cigerettes because I worry every day that the cigerette I am smoking will be the one that causes lung cancer or some other horrible diease. I am a relatively healthy person but I can not seem to stop smoking. I tried going cold turkey and did really well for about two months. I then got a new job where almost every single one of the employees smoke. I am not concerned about weight gain or any of the side effects of stopping if I can find an effective way to stop. Please help me!

This started out just under my left nipple, but i have found that it has gone to my right too. Im 13 years old, if that affects anything. I thought either puberty or im just growing...but it is scaring me slightly with the thoughts of cancer lol. The left used to be huge, but it has gone down a bit. The right is now GIANT, and seems to still be growing. The left has pretty much stayed the same for a few weeks. Ive had this thing for like a month or two.
