IT's stomach cancer and she's only 30. I looked it up and it doesn't sound like a good one to have (only 18.8% of people live at least five years). Also, most people don't find out about it until it's in later stages.

My question is: How should I help her deal with this? There's a possibility its spread to her liver and now she's hearing voices telling her to kill herself.

I don't know what to do. Help!?!?!?!

Does anyone know of any dating sites for cancer patients? I've been doing the online thing and have been up front about being in remission but I think it scares people off. Some say not to tell people right off, but for me, I feel that its a big part of my life and I'm not going to do that to someone. I would want to know.

I visited a dermatologist for the first time due to concern on my face and as suspected, it's skin cancer. He didn't explain any treatment options but only told me he would do minor surgery to remove it and he drew a diagram of how the slices would go and where the scar might end up. Why do you suppose he didn't offer any other method of treatment? I am thinking he gets more $$ from the insurance company for surgery vs. cream or laser removal. I will call tomorrow to his office and ask why I wasn't notified of other available options. But I still wanted your input. Thanks!

This morning I noticed than on squeezing one nipple, there is a tiny amount (really tiny) of yellowish discharge. I don't know if it is a sign of danger - if anyone out there has any experience with breast cancer diagnosis, could you clue me in as to what amount / type of discharge should be alarming? Or should I just zip off to my GP for more thorough examination? I am 25.

Less than a month ago, a friends 11 year old daughter was life lined to the Children's Hospital. She had fainted and would not respond. After testing her, she was diagnosed with Acute Myelogenous Lukemia. Her treatment plan was chemotherapy for 10 days, hospital stay of 20, home for 2 weeks. She had chemotherapy for 10 days, the following day, she was unresponsive, and the doctor's did not feel she was going to pull thru the night. She did, and further testing revealed she had fungal lesions on her lungs, etc. They operated on her, and removed the lesions, did a bone marrow test, it is now negative for lukemia. It has been two days since the surgery, and we received word that the fungal infection is taking over her body, and there is pretty much no hope left for her. There is an experimental drug out there, but will not receive it before Friday, if she can hang on. Has anyone heard of this?

I have breast cancer (stage 3, invasive). Had the surgery, radiation, and done the chemotherapy (4 rounds AC, 4 rounds taxotere, 18 hercepten ~ I have 5 more herceptin treatments to go). My markers are coming down, slowly but surely. I'm over weight, but not that much. I don't have a family history of diabetes, and have recently been diagnosed with diabetes.

The tests so far have indicated that my pacreas is not making enough insulin. My diet does NOT contain a lot of carbs or sugars, and in fact since I was diagnosed with cancer, my diet has included a lot of organic foods (fruit, veggies & organic meat & chicken). I'm also a positive person. I had some weight loss, especially since radiation ended 4 months ago. The symptoms that prompted the tests for elevated blood sugars, was neuropathy in my feet (usually a later effect of diabetes).

Anyone know about the connection between the cancer and the diabetes? Caused by the chemo perhaps? or just wishful thinking?
