Honestly, its better you consult a specialist. I really want to help but I don't think I can give better answers than specialist do. Sorry.\n\ngood luck\n\nLove is omnipresence, Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

Oh dear… an 8mm mass on his lungs in never good news.\n\nI feel sorry for your both, especially for your fiancée…this is definitely not caching “it” early, for it is a secondary tumor, and a big one.\n\nOnce you’ve been diagnosed with cancer, you must keep present you’ve become a cancer survivor for as long as you live and thus never, never, ever think or believe you are over the fence, so to speak; cancer is treacherous and, as a survivor, one must NEVER let one’s guard down.\n\nAs for the prognosis, see what the doctors have to say, and make the BEST out of it.

I think he is in remission, as his last treatment was in 2002.  No other updates have been posted onto the Internet, so I can assume there have been no further outbreaks of melanoma.  I agree, my thoughts and prayers also go out to him.

My poor grandfather had prostate cancer, which is supposedly one of the slowest-growing cancers there is.  He was in the hospital for something unrelated, and out of nowhere started getting sicker.  He lost his appetite, and over the course of a couple of days, started having difficulty walking and talking.  \n\nMy grandmother questioned the same thing that you did, so she questioned one of the nurses as to whether his cancer had metastasized.  The nurse more or less brushed her off and said, "No, prostate cancer wouldn't grow that fast."\n\nWell, to make a long story short, he kept getting worse and worse, until finally his lungs and kidneys shut down.  As it turned out, he had developed a secondary, fast-growing cancer that had metastasied all over his body within a matter of weeks.\n\nBy the time this was discovered, he was far too sick for any form of traditional treatment, and we unfortunately lost him very quickly after that.\n\nI certainly hope that this isn't the case with your friend... some of what she's experiencing could be the side effects of the chemotherapy.  Although I've never heard anyone "talking funny" from chemo, I'm certainly not an expert on the subject. \n\nI just wanted to share my story with you, because it still makes us sick that my grandma questioned his prognosis and was told that it couldn't have spread.  I guess we'll always wonder if he could have been helped had they acted sooner.\n\nI certainly don't have any advice for you on how to approach your friend... it's very hard to question others' judgment when it comes to the way they're treating their cancer, especially when you're not the one paying the bills.  I unfortunately know this far too well from experience... I guess all you can do is sit down with her husband by himself and discuss your fears.  It's hard, though, because you don't want to place any undue worry on him.\n\nI don't know how close of a relationship you have with this couple, but if you don't want to worry them directly, is it possible to pull one of her oncologists aside and talk it over with them?  I don't know if she's in the hospital or not, but that might be a good way to go about it.  If you feel like there's nothing you can do without overstepping your bounds, I guess all you can do is hope that the doctors notice what you have... but that's not always the case, either.\n\nSorry if I wasn't more help... at any rate, I wish you the best.  If you're at all religious or spiritual, maybe a prayer for guidance is in order.  If you're not... just listen to your heart, I guess.  :)

I got that way from lack of energy, turned out I had cancer and it was sapping my energy. He takes it personally, but I can't help it.  Good Luck!!

Her cancer originated in the appendix, although she eventually died of colorectal cancer.\n\nAudrey Hepburn's son, Sean Hepburn Ferrer, had this to say about his mother's cancer: "...her primary was in the appendix, and I guess that's too sharp a corner for those cameras to see it. And it didn't develop as a tumor mass. It developed sort of like a vellum that encased her entire intestine."

I heard recently she did not have Chron's disease like they thought, she had an intestinal blockage that could have been surgically removed and she would have lived.\nSo sad.

It is very difficult to say without more specific information. Often surgery can remove all the cancer and future treatment often relates to level of the thyroid hormones which are reduced due to the thyroid having been removed. \nYour friends post operative appointment would discuss all of this with her. She will also have had tests to see if the cancer had spread.\nBy the sound of things her optimistic outlook may have came from her follow up appointment. \nMaybe you should discuss your concerns with her. This may reassure you. Best wishes to you both.

I know you will be worried, but it could be something as simple as an infection or to the most other extreme, cancer.  Whatever it is, you've done the right thing by going back so quickly so when you find out the doctors will have a far better chance of treating it, whatever the case!!  \n\nNurses won't normally give an opinion as to what might be wrong so they don't frighten people, so please DON'T be worried by this!!\n\nGood luck for when you get your results, I'll be thinking of you!

In the show, he left a postcard telling Elmo that he had gone to live with his grandmother. However, the actor himself (Northern J, Calloway) left for unknown reasons. He died about a year later, and his family has claimed it was from stomach cancer (though some people suggested it was drug abuse). If he was indeed in the late stages of stomach cancer, one could certainly understand him wanting to spend time with his family.

I have to say "yes" to this, and I'm not a religious person.  \n\nWorking in a medical environment I see horrific things, terrible cancers, accidents.  Twice I've seen cancers disappear.  Now, this isn't that I've HEARD about it from others - I've seen test results, x-rays of two people, both with confirmed cancers.  The cancer simply vanished.  \n\nThe first person had a bowel lesion, a most definite infiltration on the large bowel.  CEA (bowel cancer marker) test was elevated, CT confirmed the lesion. He was in a great deal of pain. When he went to have it removed it had vanished, no trace of it.  This gent is a much beloved minister in the area and had many people praying for him.\n\nThe second patient was the polar opposite as far as "type" of person (although I don't judge people).  An athiest, alcoholic, smoker ... lung cancer confirmed.  An infection prevented him from having surgery immediately, and a month later when he was deemed healthy enough to undergo the procedure routine x-rays to view the progress of the lesion were clear.  The lesion had vanished.\n\nI saw this.

I have been there and done that.  I too had cancer on my back, and I waited to have it removed.  I guess I was waiting for it to go away or something.  I wish I had done something about it when it was still small, but on the other hand all cancers are not the bad kinds, but they do all grow and grow.  If left alone they will take over your body and that would be bad.  By the time I had it removed it ended up as a hole the size of a grapefruit in two places.  If I had waited any longer it would have grown around my spine and I would have been in real trouble.  I guess what I'm trying to tell you is; don't give it a chance to get a strong hold on you, and the longer you wait the worse it will be to get it all out.  They must cut, check, cut, check, and so on, until they have it all out.  This is a time consuming surgery, and it still could come back somewhere else even after you have it removed.  I just tank God I'm still alive, and I try to live each day as if it were my last day on earth.  Yeah, it made a different person out of me, but it is all for the better.  I now appreciate life, as I now know how fragile life is.  I hope this helps.  Good Luck!!!

What kind of cancer did he have to start with?  There are people nowadays living with cancer.  My father's friend Tony is an example.  Tony was diagnosed with 6 months to live, terminal cancer.  He pushed for chemo anyhow and is still here 8 years later and the cancer spread to the colon and pancreas and started in the lung.  He has to be on maintenance chemo every 4 months to control it but he is living with cancer like people live with any illness.  Don't give up hope.  Depending where the cancer is, part of the liver if it's in the left lobe can be removed and he can still function with part of his liver.  He could also be eligible if push came to shove for a transplant from a relative.
