Scared, anxiety, numbness,depression, self loathing, nausea, angry, turmoil -  I could go on.  Then depending on the person you start dealing with the situation.  Whether your the suffer or looking after someone with cancer.  My son developed a Wilms tumour when he was 3.  It developed over to the liver, up the vena cava and then attached its self to the right atrium of the heart.  He's not totally clear of it, and will be under oncology supervision for the rest of his life, because he most likely to suffer another type of cancer in later life.  Then their the after effects of the chemotherapy. He's had problems with walking which hes seeing a physiotherapist.\n\nI hope you never have to experience someone you love suffering from cancer.

Depends on the cancer - some are "quick" and some are slow.\n\neven within a type of cancer, there can be a ton of variation.\n\nMine is very slow (for me) which is a bit unusual [but i am glad for it]\n\nEach type of cancer has "staging" that lets the docs know where you are at in the progression of the disease.  You should find out what "stage" you are and then see what the prognosis is.\n\nFatal is a big word;  hard to deal with when you got cancer - if you want more information, you can go to the American cancer society website and look at the "5 year survival" rates - that is a percentage of ALL people that have a specific type of cancer and how long they last after diagnosis.  It can be a pretty brutal "discovery" and remember you could be on the plus side of that percentage.\n\nMost important thing for all people with cancer is to KNOW as much as you can about YOUR cancer, treatments, and prognosis.   \n\nGood luck,\n\nJ\n27 months and still going strong

It all depends on the type of cancer one has,the type of treatment regiment they went thru and whether or not its in remission ...there are many variables that go into it...but on the average if its in remission usually every 6 months roughly...

All people are born prone to and the possibility of getting cancer.  It's a very bad thing to get. Cancer eats you up like rotting skin, then you die. Getting it has alot to do with not keep yourself healthy. I pray tell you never get it.  Long term cancer is a hell in itself and suffering until you die.  And YES, their are cures for alot of cancer patients now a days. Their is far more hope for patients today than ever before.  Today their's medicine and kemotherapy, and their's always been that "Paying to God" thing... Dr Checko... (Nickname)

Any amount of cancer is dangerous and needs to be checked out ASAP before it spreads and grows. A doctor can tell you if removing it will stop the spread...but you'll most like have to go back to get check ups to measure if any is left in your body.\n\nDelaying your visit to the doctors is not recommended.

If you have advanced stomach cancer, your chance for recovery is poor. Whether the cancer has spread into your abdominal cavity is the crucial factor in predicting your outcome. The average survival time is usually less than 1 year, regardless of where the primary tumor was located. None of the available treatments seem to improve the survival time. Few people with these problems live 5 years. If your cancer is found at an early stage of development, your chance of long-term survival approaches 70%.

I don't understand, you have to use a source even if it's yourself. Anyhow, being a cancer survivor I can give you alot.\n\nThe first one would be lost of breast and self esteem, you don't feel "pretty" or normal anymore, you are constantly wondering if people think you are abnormal.\n\nAnother would be the side effects such as lymphedema, where your body swells and again it affects your outlook on yourself and esteem.\n\nAnother would your overall health.  did you have chemo or radiation that would harm you later in life? would it make you sterile?  Will you end up losing your teeth from the effects of cancer treatment?  will you get cancer again?  Cancer puts fears in you, you always wonder if it will come back.  It affects your health, you are never the same after treatment, lots of people become very prone to colds, flu's, etc.  Some women can't work anymore, they lose mobility too.

It depends on the cancer, how it grows, what it responds to in treatment and whether it is contained in a mass or is more diffuse.  There are different treatments for brain cancer and you need to discuss these with a neuro-oncologist and a neurosurgeon.  In my experience the survival time is somewhere between 3-9 months, but I have known people who have survived and are living cancer free now.  Remember, Lance Armstrong had mets to his brain and he is doing great.  I wish you strength and comfort in the days ahead.

None. Go see your doctor to be sure you don't have anything more serious. Stomach cancer often feels like an ulcer. So does gastric reflux disease. Stomach ulcers can be serious, too, especially if they start bleeding. Go see a doctor to be sure it isn't anything serious.

Talk to your Dr. about your prognosis. I do not know any statistics and it depends on the type of Cancer and the stage at which it was found. I will tell you this I worked for an ENT Dr. and I have seen some amazing things happen.  There are many factors involved but the most important is your attitude and how you handle the news, treatment and recovery. I have seen it more than once as a Nurse when the patient gives up, it's the end.  I have seen great prosthetics for the nose, mouth and palate. DON'T GIVE UP!!!\nAsk God to show you what you can learn from this disease, pray, and stay positive.  \n\nGood Luck and God Bless:)

Cancer is developed. You can't catch it. \n\nthe definition of cancer is: any malignant growth or tumor caused by abnormal and uncontrolled cell division; it may spread to other parts of the body through the lymphatic system or the blood stream \n___________________________________________________________\n\nThere are over 200 different types of cancer, and there are over 60 different organs in the body where you can get a cancer. \n\nSome you can prevent (skin cancer for example) some you can't prevent (lung cancer for example, even if you don't smoke, you can still get it). \n\nEvasive surgery and radiation can help cure some cancers but not all are treatable. \n\nBecause there are so many types, I can't just give you a link to read up on it.

Yes, depending on how far along the cancer is when it is found, and when treatment starts.  Not everybody survives this one.

I was diagnosed with cancer of the larynx in the final stages but refused to have my vocal cords removed creating somewhat a delemia with my treating doctor. I was hell bent on saving my voice. After double the dosage of radiation ( enough to kill a perso ) by error and chemo alongwith the same, my cancer came under control. This was in April 2000. The side effects of the radiation have left some scars that will always remain with me - I developed a fistula between my air and food passage making it impossible for me to eat or drink any thing. Even breathing became a problem and an emergency tracheostomy had to be done. The doctors felt that the fistula should be left alone as they normally heal by themselves but not in my case! The overdose had taken its toll. Meanwhile,as I could not eat anything - a peg ( feeding) tube was inserted into my stomach which ment no solids and only liquids. My wife and mother fomulated some really high protien and energy feeds that kept adding to my weight that I had lost and got me back to where I was.\nIts now been five and half years since I last even had a drop of water orally and everything is fed through the peg tube - either by pouring it down , if its totally liquid or by pushing it through the tube as in the form of an injection. I have been told that my fistulas will never heal by themselves and that means I am stuck with a stoma ( not permanent ) and a tube in my stomach - waiting for another miracle. The doctors were / are quite sure my air and food passage can be reconstructed by skin grafting but that would have to be done in phases and that in turn means spending time in the hospital. I have had enough of hospitals and decided to live my life out with the stoma ( for which I created an orator and can speak normally, hands free ) and as I have got pretty used to the peg tube it does not bother me anymore.\nI still carry on with my job as I did pre cancer. I have added a personel gym next to my office where I work out for an hour every evening and go for a four kilometre run/jog every morning. \nI look forward to a new day every day with a lot of positiveness and find myself getting closer to my two teenaged sons and falling in love with my wife all over again. I am no longer the worklaholic that I once was and take time off to be with my family. I have cut down on my travelling at the drop of a hat and rather have someone else do it. I have adopted 25 kids of who some are terminal. I make sure they receive all their medicines, hospital expenses, food and lodging at my expense. I also ensure that they receive a good deal of financial aid as all these kids come from families that cannot afford even one meal a day - let alone three that we all have.\nWell I dont know how long I have left and even though I have been declared cancer free - one never is. I want  lead a full life like I have always led - king size. I have no regrets and no complaints against the cancer. I was chosen to get it- I fought it and am alive for my  sons and wife. I can also relate to others who have /are going through this illness and I think this makes my life complete. Cancer is a teacher of sorts and if you pick up the valuable lessons it teaches you - you can fight it and reap all the benefits of life from it. Benefits that you would never have considered had you not been the chosen one.\nI dont know if this makes any sense - but then each one has/her opinionand I chose cancer as a techer.

Not exactly. It is more likely that depression and stress weaken your immune system, which then fails to kill cancerous cells. Cells go cancerous in your body all the time, but are killed almost instantly most of the time.
