Cancer

My Mom lost her battle to Ovarian Cancer a month ago today. Right after she past I did cry, and felt that I missed her, but part of me couldn't fully let go and release my emotions. I still think I was in the 'staying strong mode' - like how I was when I was by her side as she battled this merciless disease. My sister and I kept saying, we're sad now, but everyone around us is falling apart. Is there something wrong with us? A few people have said that one day it will really hit you -- like you ran into a brick wall.. and then you crumble. I did the Relay for Life on Friday and was so pround of myself, as were others. But, yesterday and today (the 1 month annivresary of her death) I feel tons anger, and great sadness. I'm wondering if it is truly hitting me now. I was doing so well. Do you think that I am regressing? Or do you think that it is normal that I'm feeling this right now -- after I thought I was doing okay.

Why and on which cases are surgery and chemotherapy used with cancer? My grandmother has a 2cm cancerous tumour in her colon, near her anus. Its in the early stages. How dangerous do you think it is? She's in moderate health, nothing else bad going on, but the downside is she's 70 years old. The cause of her cancer was frequent constipation.

So what do think they should/would do?

My really good friend told me that she has cancer. Of course I was shocked because she hasn't been to the doctor since we have been close friends for about a year and this is the first I have heard anything about it. I have known her for almost three years now. So I asked her how she knew she had cancer. She then showed me a lump on her quadricep which felt like a fatty mass. Then on her lower left hand side of her back which was like a little ball. She also had a little lump on her chest that felt like a swollen lymph node to me. She then told me that she was diagnosed with cancer about five years ago and has not gotten treatment. She says she doesn't want to go through the treatment because she would get sick. Does this make sense? I don't want to be cynical but I'm having a hard time. What do you think?

My mom just found out that she has breast cancer but we don't know yet what stage it is she had a biospy on her neck because her lymph nodes was really swollen and it came back as cancer but they said it was coming back as breast cancer and took a biopsy from her breast so we don't know what stage it is yet. She has been saying that her shoulder on that side has been hurting which has me wondering if it has gone it to her bones also. I'm scared because it is spreading anyone that has had breast cancer spread like this people give me some ideals on what kind of treatment you had to have and the stage it was in. Thanks ahead of time

It makes me mad when my wife smokes, I have caught her smoking in the house around my 12 year old daugther. Is smoking that addictive? I can't understand why someone would do something so nasty. Somedays I want to throw my hands up and just get divorced. Any advice on how to help my wife, she says she wants to quit, but hasn't done so in 22 years. Only short periods of time like 4 months here 4 months there. thanks

Dad is 70.. always been physically active his whole life.. plus, loves to socialize.. and yes, have the odd cocktail.. ok, question - he will be having 6 months of chemo treatments.. every 2 weeks..starting soon. He asked me this today.. would he be able to still exercise?.. I am no doctor, but I guess he was just curious....as I know people who have had cancer. I had no answer...as I understand ..some people get through chemo..relatively ok..and some have a real hard time. plus a side effect is that you tire out fast. Any input about this? He belongs to a exercise facility... and even after recovering from his colan surgery...has already started back to the gym..

Has anyone out there.. in this age group area.. continued or desired to.. exercise during chemo treatments?.. Any information..would be helpful. Also, Can a person enjoy the odd cocktail.. during this period or will that mix with the chemo medication?.Thanks..Chris

My sister has imflammatory breast cancer, she has finished her chemo and is having a double mastectomy Monday and her lymph nodes in her armpits removed. I can't be there with her but would like to send something. Has anyone gone through this? Is there something that would have made your recovery more comfortable?

My uncle has a terminal form of cancer that has settled in and around his heart. He was admitted to the hospital on Monday, administered fluids, and then sent home. His oncologist has told him that he can expect to live for a few more days, maybe a week, and that basically the cancer will cause a heart attack. Any advice on making him comfortable, things to say, how to help his family, anything to expect... Thanks...

Johns Hopkins has recently sent this Memo out in its newsletters. This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well.
Dioxin chemicals causes cancer, especially breast cancer. Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic. Recently, Dr. Dr. Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital, was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us.
