Do you have or know someone who has CANCER?

I have family members who have passed from it.  I do not live in fear because there is no sense in living in fear of something that you have no control over.  It is a very scary thing... and it saddens me deeply... i think cancer makes me more angry than anything.

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 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.

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 :)

Yes but the receiving person cannot develop cancer from it.\nCancer is a condition where the cells in the human body become confused as to what their job is and as a result they start attacking the body laying waste to it.  Since her white blood cells are healthy(I'm assuming), they will recognize the strange cells as something that is not supposed to be there and kill them.\n\nIf the woman got cancer later on, it would have nothing to do with you.\n\nYou can relax.

Having gone through treatment for breast cancer this yr. I spent quite a few hrs. in treatment & at the clinic waiting to see Drs. etc. One thing I learned cancer has no preferences. Men, women, babies is strollers. People from every ethenic background, & colour were there. Some born in our country, some from nearly every corner of the earth. All had cancer one type or the other. God Love the babies & kids & teenagers. That sickened me. I am older. I have lived a life that I do not regret. But them. They haven't had a chance to live yet. That hurts. I survived & I'm well & healthy again. But I can never forget them. .  Just what I saw & experienced.

Thank you for this question!\nMy mother-in-law (my Pastor) was recently diagnosed with cancer of the pancreas. Additionally she had a tumor on her spine and a mass in her colon. The diagnosis was confirmed by two specialists. She was told she had eight weeks to live. Her doctors scheduled surgery to try to remove the colon mass. She asked me to search the web for a few options for her casket, a friend is a gifted carpenter and he was going to build it for her once she chose what she wanted. \nThe church organized a 24-hour prayer chain as we always do when there is a dire need and she checked into the hospital in the large city near our small town. I visited her on the morning of her surgery and we talked about what we've experienced in God over the last thirty years. We cried, we held hands, we laughed, we cried. She was ready and we spent that early morning in the hospital saying our goodbyes. She told us what she wanted to wear. Which dress, which shoes. She told us who she wanted to speak at her funeral. She knew her husband (co-Pastor) wouldn't be able to. She told my wife (her daughter) what songs she wanted her to play and sing. It was horrible.\nThey took her into surgery and my wife and I waited in the visitors lounge. The church at home continued to pray because we've learned over the years that sometimes God's mind can be changed. She had taught us that. \nI have known this woman for thirty years. She is the most remarkable person I have ever encountered.\nFour-and-a-half hours later the oncologist came out and told us it had not gone as anticipated. In the process of trying to locate the colon mass they had torn the colon with the scope. This happened because they couldn't find the mass where they anticipated it to be. They kept looking for it until they accidently tore the colon wall. That led them to open her up to repair that damage. While they repaired the colon they searched for the mass by hand but could not find it.\nThey elected to look at her pancreas while they were there to better gauge the size of the mass. They could not find that one either. Her X-rays were posted for reference nearby and they showed both masses. And yet the doctors physically examined both locations and found nothing. They could not get to the mass on the spine.\nI'll never forget as the doctor began to apologized about the colon mishap. He was noticeably upset. We assured him it was not a problem. We told him the church had been praying around the clock for over a week and he said it was clear to him that she had been miraculously healed. The second doctor came out and could only smile and shake our hands.\nShe was taken to recovery and then to her room where she stayed for a few days. She was visited by every nurse and nearly every doctor in the hospital for those few days. And she was not bashful about what God had done for her. She reminded them that there was proof and they were all aware.\n\nThis is just one example. I have many others I could share but you already believe. And it is so good to see God's work acknowledged in such a public way.\nI don't know what your background is but clearly God does. Please don't forget what you are feeling now. Thank Him often. And consider that He may have something far greater than you realize waiting for you. Here and beyond.\nPlease read Chapter 2 of Acts (New Testament) with your husband and consider what more God may have for you.

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.

What is his quality of life now?\nWhat would it be during cancer treatment?\nWhat would it be afterwards?\n\nThis is a difficult decision.  But it is a personal one.  If you make it with love for the patient, it will be the right one.

Sure, don't hesitate, the longer it goes on the worse the treatment.  I have been through cancer 3 times, the cure is worse than the cold.  Get attention, even if you only suspect and have no symtoms.

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 know how you feel, but there is hope if it turns out to be cnacer. \n\nI am currently in the Bahamas with my Mother who has Terminal Lung Cancer. There is a clinic here that has been in operation for over 30 years. We have been here for 4 of our 8 week stay, everyday is really neat. A lot of the patients stick around in the meeting room/ waiting room to visit, and share stories and catch up. There were 40 people all talking and laughing, talking about cancer and life, the returning patients talk about how bad their cancer was 4, 8, 10 even 18 years ago when they started coming to the clinic, the cancer that has since disappeared. There is nothing dangerous or foreign to the treatment, just building up your immune system in a very effective manner. If you want to know more contact me or go to www.immunemedicine.com I cannot tell you how impressed I am with what I have seen and how my Mother has already improved. I know one man who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, he skipped all US, conventional (poisonous, dangerous) options and went to the Bahamas and is doing great now. Another man who has been coming here for 18 years that had prostate cancer. People with just about every type of cancer. But, they are honest here, you send them your medical information and they will tell you whether they believe they can help you or not, and they will send you home if they don't think you are benefiting. \n\nMy mom has shown drastic improvements and is feeling so much better. and we are in the Bahamas so we are having a good Mother-Daughter vacation.\n\nI have also done a lot of research on the Cesium Chloride/DMSO treatment and think that it has merit and you can do it at home.\n\nThe clinic here believes that a supplement/liquid called VIBE works really well in addition to other treatments, I am going to look in to that some more.\n\nUS doctors push chemo and radiation, but when you look at the statistics and side effects it is not a good option for most people. My Mom had both before we came here and now that I know more about them and have researched them I feel horrible that I let her go through them. She was lucky (so far) the only long term side effect she has shown is short term memory loss. \n\nThe stories I have heard from the other patients here about how they were treated by US medicine astound me. One lady went home to have a shunt put in her liver so she would be ok to come here, but they refused to put it in unless she agreed to do chemotherapy, is that what our country is about? Denying helpful procedures unless we agree to dangerous, toxic ones? The drug companies run US medicine at least when it comes to cancer treatment and it is sad. Most doctors will tell you not to try alternative medicine and some will refuse to even see you again if you do. To some degree they are not to blame, they have not been taught anything about it other than that it is evil and wrong and they would be rejected by their colleagues if they suggested alternatives.\n\nI would also like to tell you about another lady staying at the house we are staying at, she is 86 years old and has breast cancer. She arrived at the clinic the same day we did and is doing very well. Her immune system continues to improve and she gained 2 pounds since last week. She is absolutely thrilled with this treatment and knows that it is helping her.\n\nThere is another elderly gentleman who just finished his 8-week treatment and is feeling better as he returns home. He has cancer around his optic nerve, but also had diabeties. His daughter said that while he was here on the treatment he needed a lot less insulin than usual. I am NOT claiming that the treatment also helps with diabeties, I am just saying that is what his experience was.\n\nPlease whatever you do, research first. \n\nOne very helpful website is www.cancertutor.com\n\nGood luck!!

You can look up info on the internet just by searching for breast cancer or cancer as the topic.  To find someone to talk to in person call your local hospital for a reference to an organiztion that deals with cancer patients and/or surivivors.  Hospice is an excellent organization...They have connections to diet and holisitc treatments, not only for those who are close to death, but also for those who are full of life.  An oncologist is an expert in cancer therapies including a good diet to promote healing or to promote optimal health during chemo and/or radiation therapy.
