I don't know much about what "they" say, but I know that my favorite cancer (my husband) is family oriented, great with money, down to earth and extremely sexy.  \nBut then again, I only know through close contact with one... very close contact.

I have skin cancer.\n\nMy nephew has retnoblastoma (lost one eye to cancer) (only affects babies/children under the age of 7). \n\nMy dad has skin cancer, and lung cancer. \n\nThey say everything goes in threes...for our family's sake, I hope that is true, and we are done without further incidents.

I'm sure their are. Just because you have cancer doesn't mean you quit living, Look at Lance Armstrong. I'm a cancer survior my self. If you have cancer don't give up.

If you go to http://www.cancer.org you will be able to locate local support for her depending on what kind of cancer it is.\n\nIt's good of you to help her, so often extended family emotionally move away from folks with cancer!\n\nBest wishes.

I pray that your mother's results will be ok, and that she does well. The reason I am writing is because you reminded me of the time I was waiting on my Mother's biopsy, she has breast cancer. My advice for you is to expect the worse, although we are surely not aiming for it, this way whichever way the result goes you will not be affected. Also try not to have any expectations before you understand the full picture.\nI hope all goes well. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

I have two little boys. My oldest who turned five in july was diagnosed with cancer in dec of 2004. He was only 4 years old. You never know how many children are battling cancer until you or someone that you know is going through it. These children are truely amazing. I do it for all of them. I want a world thats free of cancer. Especially for the children they dont deserve to go through that. They are way too precious to have to deal with it. That is why I do it for the children, for my children.

I know that cancer can spread, but breast cancer is one of the most successfully treated cancers there are so there is good reason for hope.\n\nMy wife had breast cancer 6 years ago.  Her are some things that were most encouraging for her and the things that were not encouraging.\n\nNot encouraging:\nThe endless suggestions that people gave us for natural medicine alternatives.  My wife is a nurse, she wanted to use things that were proven, not an experiment.\n\nPeople who tried to convince her that they could identify with her but really had never experienced anything like what she was going through.\n\nPeople who offered the "cosmic answer" to why she was going through this.\n\nWhat helped:\nWe had a lady who offered to bring meals over the day after she went though chemo.  This was very appriciated.\n\nWe had a family who gave my wife a cleaning service that came in once a week and cleaned.  This was appriciated.\n\nI made a commitment never to leave the house in the morning unless everything was cleaned up and put away.  My wife can't rest in a messy house and I think this made a difference.\n\nLot's of listening, but also lot's of initiating conversation about normal everyday circumstances.  When you have cancer, lot's of people ask how's it going.  Answering this question a thousand times is very exhausting emotionally.  My wife loved it when someone came along and talked exclusively about what was happening with them and she didn't have to answer questions about herself.\n\nCards that express that you are thinking of this person without lines of optimizin from "rose colored glasses".  Simply "I'm thinking of you."  Is much more real and benificial than, "I know it'll all work out in the end."\n\nAlso, we have 3 kids.  My wife appreciated families who reached out to our children and gave them a place to talk about their emotional ups and downs through the process. Our son was a teenager at the time.  He rarely talked to us about what was going on and only asked one question.  What we found is that he was talking to the parents of a friend of his and getting support there.  Sure, we felt a little like we were out of the loop.  But the important thing is he found a safe place to process his emotions.  My wife found comfort in this.\n\nBest wishes

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!
