Your mom's doctors are limited in what they are permitted to do, under existing FDA and AMA guidelines. There ARE, however, dozens of safe, effective, and affordable alternatives that WORK. Try a visit to www.cancertutor.com and be prepared for a "rude awakening" about the "real" world of medicine. If you do a little searching, you'll find that your mom's condition may very well be completely reversible, with alternatives.

Yes, it's very possible. They should have made a biopsy to see if it is cancerous. If it isn't then she could go through her whole life with that tumor. The surgery in this case is optional. Also there might be veins or other critical organs that could prevent doctors from removing the tumor.

First calm down and next there is NO way anyone on here can tell you if you have or do not have breast cancer only your doctor can tell you this after they do tests if they have too that is. Now you must tell your mom at least. She is a woman and knows alot more about this than you do. So if anyone tires to tell you you may have it or NOT have it there is really no way that we can possibly know this whatsoever..please right now talk to your mom there is a good chance she will be able to help you and make you feel alot better right away...that is what moms do you know!

I would be afraid, but if it was suggested to me by at least three different doctors, I would be inclined to do chemo.\nI am so sorry to hear of your mother-in-law's passing.\nIt is important to remember, though, that cancer is, indeed, a SILENT killer.  Even with all the technology and knowledge of today, doctors just aren't infallible.  They do commendable work, but they just can't hit the nail on the head every time.\nSo, so sad.  Continue being there for your husband and I sure feel badly for the loss of his mother.  I lost my mother from cancer and think of her EVERY SINGLE DAY, so I understand the "place" your husband is in.  It's the PITS.

Hi Patz! I have really good news today and I'm glad that your question was still open.My mother was diagnosed with cancer almost a year ago and I was devastated by this news.This past months were by far the most difficult of my whole life! I've been living whith her and we had the opportunity to talk a lot,to became even closer than we already were.Yesterday,I took her to the doctor and he told us that her body is finally free of the cancer cells.I was so happy and so relieved! We know that this can came back any time but,for now,we are celebrating life! I can't think of better news!\nMoon :)

Since you are concerned about her behavior I am led to believe that this is a drastic change. So, yes, you should be concerned. She needs to see a doctor as soon as possible for a complete physical. Be sure to document the changes you have witnessed. Write down everything you can think of before her appt. to make the most of your time with the doctor. Your mom is a lucky lady to have you.

My mother had a skin cancer removed, and now has part of her shoulder missing.  They told her it would be an incision size of about 1x2 inches.  Instead it is more like 8x3 inches and looks like a HUGE centipede type scar.  This isn't the norm, but people do die from skin cancer.  Knowing this I still get out in the sun.  It is a chance I take.  Some day mom may be able to say "I TOLD YOU SO".

i'm really sorry to tell you but malignant means that it is cancer.  if she has a lumpectomy (removal of the cancerous lump) or a mastectomy (removal of the whole breast) the cancer will be gone, unless the doctors determine that it has spread or not.  don't worry, my mom had breast cancer about 5 years ago & she had it removed, did chemotheraphy (which is probably what your step-mom will do), & even radiation for extra measures.  she is fine today & even considered a survivor!  but i know how you feel.. always have hope & be strong!  :)  and remember: they're coming out w/new cures & treatments everyday!

My friend had benign tumors that grew in her arms. Go see a doctor!

I would proceed with a great deal of caution. There are some studies in the early stages that indicate that mushrooms may play a role with cancer (some chemo drugs such as Vinristine, originated in plant world). But, the problem is that there is little documentation what that role will be and how much of that mushroom you will need to treat your specific cancer. I know people want to hope that this is the magic bullet, but there is so much intentional misinformation on the Internet please procede with caution. Keep researching and do not go by 'testimonials' . . they are not reliable because there will never be any evidence that it can help you specifically - you also will never hear about the people it did not help because they probably are dead. \n\nThe National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine is a reliable source on the Internet for investigating mushrooms or any dietary supplement. \nhttp://nccam.nih.gov/\n\nGood luck. Perhaps you could find a clinical trial that would benefit your mother and provide documented proof for those who will follow her?

Bless your heart, my friend, I don't know why your mother got cancer.  I didn't know her.  Maybe it was her lifestyle, maybe it was exposure to a carcinogen, maybe it was just rotten luck and unfortunate genes.   I am truly sorry it happened.  We can't cure cancer yet but if it's caught in time we can kill it or remove it.   I'm a nurse and I've dedicated my life to dealing with disease, the living and the dying.  Perhaps you'll want to dedicate your life to finding a real cure for cancer.  That would be worthwhile.

I have heard that she has cancer. I'm not sure what type but that is what has been going around. Whatever it is, I hope she gets better. That's seems like too much pain for a parent to bear.

My mother died from a cancer that had started on her right kidney a few years ago. It spread from her kidney and went up her spine and expanded out from there very fast. It will on the enzyne forulation that is present in the cancer he has, as to how fast the cancer will grow. My mother would not let the do a biopsy from the cancer. Let me first say that she or the doctors were not aware of what was present on her right kidney. They told her to let it grow a little more before they tried to do anything about it. They were not sure it was cancer. When the time came to do a biopsy, they told her they didn't know if they could get any fluid from the mass that was present. they told her they were afraid it would bust and spread quickly if they tried to extract fluid from it. So she didn't let them do a biopsy and it did spread quickly and killed her within 3 months. So it sounds like your husband has a much better chance at living a fuller life than what my mother did. I pray that things go good for him. If they had took her right kidney when they found it at the time, she'd probably be alive today. I wish the best for him and you.

Ask her doctor, or if you can't grab him/her, then ask a nurse what kind of support your mom will need, especially when she gets home.  Also, as a mom, it always meant so much when my kids cleaned the house for me, made me cards, came and snuggled with me, offered to make tea or coffee.  Funny, how it's so often the  little things that mean so much.  Good luck and I hope everything goes great with your mom's surgery.
