I have a live in b/f of 1.5 years that has been taking care of his Mom w/ lung and now brain cancer. She has been given 6 wks to live and is scared but still fighting. He stays every other night (her wishes). I support him and help as much as possible. We r a team on that level, but everything else is crumbling. We bicker when 2gether, no intimacy. I feel like we can't wait for each other to leave, but then we miss one another. His father passed 10 yrs. ago, he is 26 and acting 16 when at home. Smart aleck, hateful, and then sorry. I feel like his mother. I keep feeling that if it were not for the circumstances I would kick him out! And I feel so guilty for that. We love each other, but there are rarely real smiles around here anymore when we are 2gether. He ignores me and everything else (but the dog!) until he needs something it seems, he is relying on me for Everything and wearing me out. I don't know what to do, any thoughts on death/caretaking or how loved ones acted are welcome.

My mother has been going to chemo treatments, and she's experiencing a really strong burning in her throat. Has anyone else had this happen to him, and if so how did you treat it.

Thanks

Hi. Does it even mean anything? Nurse said radialogist said i had lesion or something else...and i won't see neurologist for a month or more. It mustn't be serious since they haven't rushed me to hospital, lol. I'm just trying to get a handle on this before i see him. How do 'they' handle it...or maybe they don't? Thanks for your time and efforts. ...anything u want to add, i'd appreciate and asap

I am 25 had mammo because lump was felt by me and doc. Had mammo they didnt see lump but increased density want ultrasound. I just want to know what most women have experianced when they where diagnosed, through the testing. I am just scared even if they find nothing suspicious because my grandpa was mis diagnosed several times by the time they figured out what he had they only gave him 3weeks to live he had terminal cancer, my aunt was diagnosed with bc at 32 and now my uncle has stage four lung cancer(never smoked) no one in family does they have no idea how it developed. They are all my paternal side of the family. I am just scared of being mis diagnosed.

So please share your test, diagnosis stories thanks.

I'm doing a speech about this stuff and I'm going to open it with all the crazy (whether they're true or not) stories of all the things you can "get cancer from" - What's the craziest thing you've heard that you can get cancer from? Or have you heard crazy ones that actually are true? Thanks>

am very upset. My son is such a good little baby, but over the past month he has not been himself lately. The right side of his face is much larger then the left and his eye is so swollen. I have taken him to 4 different doctors and they all said "we thinks" and "maybes" and noone can tell me anything. They all make it seem normal and like im paranoid. Over the past three days hes actually been vommiting ( not spitting up) 5 + times and hes been very fussy,not like him at all. He had another eye doctor appointment today and his eye looked awful. They spent 10 minutes and took three flash photos (all at the childrens hospital) and told me his eye was swollen (duh) and his lip was droopy (duh) and a bunch of other stuff I already knew. I was sitting holding my son when I heard the docs mention his name and saying that they found a little something in the pictures, but they didnt think that it was that big of a deal to do anything with. This has ben going of for weeks. Help. am i crazy

My sister in law had her first round of chemo for breast cancer last Monday. Wed, Thur and Fri she said she felt like she was in a black hole. She felt separated from her body and unable to get back to it. She had baby blues years ago but said this is the worst "depression-like" thing she has ever experienced. She has never heard of anyone else suffering like this and wonders if it might be a reaction to steroids or something. It passed after three days and she is much better this week.

Are there any particular stores where you can purchase things like hats or t-shirts to show support for women with breast cancer? I know you can buy some things online, but I was hoping to buy some things at an actual store. My aunt has breast cancer and things are getting pretty tough for her right now. I want to buy some cool shirts or hats for some family members. Thanks

Where is a good place to order/purchase scarves, hats, and nightcaps for women who have lost hair due to chemotherapy? Winter is coming, and I'm especially interested in a soft, warm cap which can be worn comfortably at night and not interfere with sleep.

Thanks!
