This is part question, part rant, but my mother had breast cancer surgery a few months ago and just completed radiation therapy. She has to take a medication for five years. She has red hair and is fair skinned and freckled. She announced to me she wanted to come to my pool today (96 degrees and not a cloud in the sky!) but couldn't reach me and so now she wants to come down and get in my tanning bed. I politely asked her if she was out of her mind. She then started carrying on about how it doesn't matter and they (the doctors) want her to get some sun, etc. And when I didn't go along with her, she started saying it didn't matter if she lives or dies anyway, so what's the difference. I finally told her, "You are irrational, and I cannot have this conversation with you. I have to hang up. Goodbye." I'm sure I will never hear the end of this. Please tell me I'm not nuts. Is she in any position to be getting in a tanning bed or sitting in the blistering sun?!

I have been suffereing from cancer for the last six years and it has affected my life style a great deal. I feed through a peg tube in my stomach and breathe thru a tracheostomy in my throat. I have also been told by my doctor, that my life span was limited. I have no regrets about dying and in fact when I had a brush earlier, Irequested my wife to take me home from the hopsital so that I could pass away in my comfy bed.
Even today, as I know how much time I have left, I have made all the required provisions for my wife, my teenaged sons and my aged mother - so that they will never be any financial difficulties. I have also made it clear that I am in way to be given any further treatment and let life just take its course.
I have lived a fantastic life, a life that most would not live in all their reincarnations ( if you believe in the same)- I have travelled the world, have modled for the best of designers, have studied abroad - all in all its been a complete life. No regrets.

I met a woman in the where I work a little while back. She and I was standing out side smoking. She said that she doesn't understand why they stop people from smoking in public places. I told her I didn't either. I smoke in my house and in my car. I should be able to smoke where ever I want. As long as it doesn't bother any one else. she told me that she doesn't smoke in her house or her car, but she still should be able to smoke in public. What I don't understand is why do you think that you have the right to smoke in public, but your house and car is off limits. I really just don't understand that.

Recently a 16 or 17 yr. old boy with relapsed Hodgkin's Disease chose to decline a second treatment of chemotherapy because of how severe his side effects were the first time around. He and his family chose alternative medicines and herbs instead (which are not FDA approved). The boy said he doesn't think he could survive any more chemo and doesn't want it. Now social services is stepping in, saying his parents are guilty of medical neglect. The same happened about six months ago to a 13 year old girl. She was put into a foster home and given chemo agains her and her parents wishes (and to the best of my knowledge, she still isn't in remission)

Should the courts in this country have a say in our medical care? And should they be allowed to force treatments on us and our children? And if so, where do we draw the line?

I was just wondering if anyone knows how often people actually recover from lung cancer. I know it varies, depending on the stage, but if someone could give some sort of average, or even break it down per stage, that would be awesome. I'm curious because whenever you hear about someone getting lung cancer, it's always like, boom, they're dead within a short time.

The basic Essiac herb combination is 4 herbs. But I've seen a couple of websites that sell it with 4 additional herbs. Has anyone tried either? I'm trying to find out which one would be easier to take (taste better)?
