New To this Group

2007-06-22T22:28:29Z

My father has Lung Cancer - asbestosis. This week the Doctor said that it has spread in his bones further, the lump in his lung is growing and it has spread nodular. They want to begin new chemo but it's stronger and they aren't sure if his body will accept it.

I want to be there for them but they live so far away. Its breaking my heart immensely. I can only cry. As bad as I feel for my father, I am more worried about my mother, who is alone in another state with no family near at all, attending to her third cancer death. (first her step-father, then her mother and now her husband). She is so strong, but so afraid and alone.

Looking for a spouses/partners of cancer survivors group

2006-06-18T08:58:28Z

...anyone got any leads? Or do you think a seperate tribe should be spawned for those who do not actually have cancer, but whose lives now revolve around it?

And if anyone had any tips re: support groups, especially in the DC area, that'd be awesome too.

Colon Cancer and Chemotherapy

2006-05-15T17:51:27Z

Hey there--I'm new to this tribe, glad to find ya! My mom had a right colectomy last Thursday and was discharged yesterday. Last night her doctor called to tell her that she's T3, N1, Stage 3 (cancer spread to one lymph node). She will begin chemotherapy soon. Does anyone know how long she should recover from her surgery before beginning chemo? I'm trying to arrange my flights so that I can be here (NH) as much as needed, but also go home (AZ) when not. Southwest has a great deal on flights until the day BEFORE we go meet with her doctor again, so I'd sorta like to find this out ASAP. Anyone with experience? Thanks!

Cervical Cancer

2006-05-15T17:41:41Z

Hi every body. I just joined this tribe. It was found in January this year during a regular pap that I have cervical cancer. All the doctor's have moved very quickly on this as I am only at stage 1. Surgery is not an option as it is too radical for the size of my cancer and the doctor has prescribed radiation theraphy which I started yesterday. There will be a back up of a low dose of Chemo also which will start later this week. It's been one hell of a ride, the anger, the fear, the anxiety, the "oh my God" of it all. I am glad I found this group, seems like all of you are very supportive and kind. I hope through all of this I will be able to give back support.

Hubby got done with the chemo and radiation for the esophagus. they did the blood work scan and something came back. they did a body scan and found small, less than 3cm masses on his lower left lung. They are talking surgery, and in the mean time, he will be doing more chemo and radiation 2-3x a week for 6 months. he had his first round yesterday and was throwing up all day and night. this time its hitting him alot harder. I'm having surgery on friday and dont know how to help him. I also have to work (not after surgery of course) and get the kids off to school. our van died last night, think its the battery, but dont know. its all too much some times.

Hello All, Yea Me too.....

2006-01-03T19:14:19Z

In September I was diagnosed with stage 3 Colon Cancer in my Sigmoid Colon. Well They cut out 15 inches of my colon 3 days later. After two weeks I developed a massive infection and had to stay in the hospital to get IV anti biotics. It's now 3 months later and I'm just starting to get my head above water. I was unemployed at the time, but fortunately a veteran. I was able to get the VA to take me in and perform all of the tests and surgery. I still can't do half of what I could before physically, but I can drive again now that I'm off of the pain medication. Being limited to lifting 8 Lbs. does make shopping and living stressfull. Any more like me out there? I'd love to talk.

My husband started treatment today

2005-12-21T01:38:41Z

At 10:00am he started a combo of radiation and chemo therapy. after 1 year with this disease, they say 3 rounds should kick it out. he had drasticly changed his died, upping his vitamin C and the doc said with his bloodwork, if they werent looking for it they would never know he even has cancer. they took out 17 tumors from his esophagus 1 year ago, had another endoscopy a week ago, and we're looking for March 28th for him to be CANCER FREE!

he is not home yet from treatment, doc said he could drive himself home, and he didnt want me there with him. i will keep everyone updated as to how he is doing.

?Nirvana?

2005-08-22T19:45:57Z

Both the true meaning and the band.
My father was diagnosed with prostate cancer years ago. As the concerned son, i constantly asked for updates. He would mostly tell me he was o.k. and every now and then he would say he hurt a little more, but not to worry. ("Not to worry." "Not to Worry." I only type it more so it may stick in my head).
About 4 weeks ago I had called my father to see how he was doing. This time he said he was in pain. *slowly typing**trying not to cry**first time really telling story* He went on to say that his cancer had spread. He was to go in for check ups in a couple of days, but he remained optimistic.
I called my father the day after his next appointment. *waited a day due to time zone change* He said, "they got it." He said he felt great....and of course.....not to worry. I took him at his word.
One week ago yesterday. I get that call. Not the one of fatality. No that one would have almost been better. I get the call that says that my father is now terminal. The cancer now spread to his bones and brain.
I hang up on the caller, drop the phone and cry. Only momentarily, I have not brought myself to that level yet. I am still trying to remain strong.
I then plan to make an emergency trip from Italy to visit with my father at perhaps his weakest state. British Air is on strike! All airlines booked for 3 days! I have nothing to do for three days but question every bad thing, or anything that I could make sound bad, that has ever happened between my father and I. Why did I move to Italy? Why didn't I take over the family business? Why did I not go to the last family reunion? WHY? WHY? WHY?
During these three days all I could think of in the back of my head was Kirt Kobane's words, "I want to eat your cancer with a spoon." What did he mean by that? Who cares? My father is dying. I mean, I knew it before. I knew and know that there is no cure. But fuck! When you hear from a doctor that your last parent *yes! last**lost mother to cancer as well* has about one year to live, what do you do?
I am with him now. Only mementarily. I must go back to work soon. My recent days have been filled with transiting back and forth to the hosiptal from local family members' houses. Sound shitty? In between visiting my father, I am trying to figure out which nursing home to put him in, what to do with his belongings *can't think about what he wants me keep at this point* , etc. etc.
The worst part of all. He thinks he can go back to work at the end of the week. How do you look you father in the eye and shatter his dreams of working again? How do you tell his father that he will probably never see his home again? All the things your father never did to you while growing up (shut down your dreams). And now you are faced with the reality.
Anyone? Anyone?
well i am done with my tangent for now. time to spend more time with my father. god, it felt good to vent. thank you all (anyone who will listen).
I am sure there is more to follow.

from my husband

2005-08-06T20:18:51Z

This is from my husband's blog. words cannot express how scared we BOTH are...

Well, after talking to the doctors, and getting some results back, then talking to the family, I have decided to try and opt for certain treatments to actually try and live a bit longer.

Be there no mistake, that without getting any treatment, I more than likely will not see the age of 35. Treatment does not guarantee making past that point, but the odds become a little more realistic for actually having a chance.

Right now, they are saying I am still at Stage 2 Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Esophagus. I am still staged at 1 on Adenocarcinoma of the esophagus, and tumors have been seen in chest CT, as well as some symptoms, but need a biopsy to tell exactly what type. The esophageal cancers have not been elevated because I have not had another endoscopy, which I have needed since March. They are leaning towards thinking Non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), which would then elevate the staging of the esophageal cancer. They also want to perform a biopsy on my lymph nodes to see if my lymphatic system has been affected.

Right now, all those tests need to be done, so we can see exactly where I am at. As the nurse said, playing if I dont know it cant hurt me, in this case, will wind up in the worst possible way. While I understand that doctors are sometimes greedy, I think in this case I need to have treatment to have any shot at life. I can feel it inside. Every day.

So, the case of what I need done in order.

1. Endoscopy to perform removal of nodules and tumors, and possibly dilate and repair the esophageal sphincter. Begin pain management.

2. Begin preoperative chemotherapy (CTx) and combination radiochemotherapy (RTx/CTx)for the squamous cell esophageal carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. This is a very aggressive treatment done because it increases the resection rate, the rate of complete tumor resection, and survival time. The side effects, though, are suppose to be brutal. After that, they will then check with another endoscopy to see where we are. If needed or deemed to be helpful, then we have surgery. I am not sure how many weeks or rounds worth of treatment I would be under. That would be discussed with the oncologist.

3. Possible preoperative chemotherapy for lung. Again, I am not sure about the details of this, other than it helps shrink the size and stunt the growth of the tumor, and makes surgery much more successful.

4. Surgical removal of tumors in the lung that would or may still be present after chemo rounds.

5. Assessment and further treatment as needed.

I have just emailed my dad and mom to see if there is any way to get a loan so I can get things started, and will exhaust everything to try and get going beginning of next week.

Guys, I am horribly scared, along with feeling absolutely horrible right now. I am very tired, and run down. Not something I would normally admit, but I cant turn my head and try to pretend it doesnt affect me any more. I dont want to be put in a box....I am not ready to go anywhere. Not yet, dammit..not yet.

complimentary therapies

2005-07-09T19:34:43Z

A very dear friend of mine was recently diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma. She is still undergoing tests to see how far along it is. The good news is this is a very treatable disease. She will be starting chemo soon and I am trying to find some alternative/complimentary resources to support her journey.

Nutrition advise: Is it better to cleanse or build before chemo? She will most likely be going in once a week for three months. Any foods to add or subtract from the diet before or during chemo? Does the pre treatment diet affect how a person handles chemo?

Acupuncture: Who (practitioners or patients) out there have worked using acupuncture as an adjunct to cancer treatments. We are looking for someone in Santa Rosa, Sebastopol, Windsor (CA) area. A bonus would be someone who take Medical OR could offer a discounted rate. Obviously this whole process is going to be a financial strain. How often are treatments recommended?

Herbs: Does anyone have any knowledge of the efficacy or dangers of using milk thistle during chemo? Any other herbs to add or stay away from?

Other: Any other words of wisdom or ideas that may support the process.

Thanks for your attention, consideration, wisdom and generosity.

What Cancer Cannot Do
Author: Unknown

Cancer is so limited
It cannot cripple love
It cannot shatter hope
It cannot corrode faith
It cannot eat away peace
It cannot destroy confidence
It cannot kill friendship
It cannot shut out memories
It cannot silence courage
It cannot invade the soul
It cannot reduce eternal life
It cannot quench the spirit

Cloning Experiment Shows Cancer Reversible - Report

Sat Jul 31, 5:01 PM ET Add Health - Reuters to My Yahoo!

By Maggie Fox, Health and Science Correspondent

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A cloning experiment may show that the body itself has the ability to reverse cancer, U.S.-based researchers said on Saturday.

They cloned mouse embryos from a melanoma skin cancer cell, and created healthy adult mice using some of the cloned cancer cells, showing that malignancy is not the inevitable fate of a cancer cell.

"This settles a principal biological question," said Dr. Rudolf Jaenisch of the Whitehead Institute at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (news - web sites), one of the country's leading experts in cloning.

He said while the genetic elements of cancer cannot be reversed, the epigenetics -- how the genes are actually turned on and off -- can be.

The finding, published in the journal Genes and Development, point to a new way to treat cancer, said Lynda Chin of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School (news - web sites), who worked on the study.

"Drugs that target the cancer epigenome may prove to be a key therapeutic opportunity for diverse cancers," she said in a statement. In other words, it might be possible to silence a cancer gene.

Cancer begins when certain genes mutate, or when a certain, inherited version of a gene somehow gets turned on.

This can happen through various so-called epigenetic processes -- when other molecules in a cell affect genes without actually altering the sequence of DNA.

In the experiment, Konrad Hochedlinger and Robert Blelloch, both researchers in Jaenisch's lab, took the nucleus from a melanoma cell and injected it into a hollowed-out mouse egg cell.

This started the egg growing as if it had been fertilized by sperm.

They did not allow this embryonic mouse to develop, but harvested from it embryonic stem cells -- immature cells that have the potential to become any cell in the body at all.

They put these stem cells into healthy mouse blastocysts -- very early embryos only a few days old. Some of these developed into healthy, normal mice.

"It's important to note that the stem cells from the cloned melanoma were incorporated into most, if not all, tissues of adult mice, showing that they can develop into normal, healthy cells," Blelloch said.

They included skin pigmentation cells, immune cells and connective tissue.

This could only have happened if the cancer cells had lost their malignant qualities, at least temporarily, the researchers said.

But when certain cancer-related genes in these mice were activated, they developed malignant tumors at a much faster rate than normal mice, the researchers added.

Many researchers want to try similar experiments with human cancer cells, but the administration of President Bush (news - web sites) forbids the use of federal funds for such study because it would involve the creation of what is technically a human embryo.

Hello-new and need to talk

2004-07-08T17:55:58Z

Hi everyone,

I don’t have cancer but I feel like it rules my life and I’m terrified of it. I feel like I’m a hypochondriac about it, especially my breasts. Maybe I should share some history here.

My mom died of cancer when she was 43, I was only 10 at the time and it’s an experience I’ll never forget, it was the day after my birthday and I knew she was sick but just didn’t grasp that she was going to die, it was shocking and it was so hard for many years after. My dad was like a strong tree, always there for me and he still is.

My grandma (my mom’s mom) had breast cancer in her 70’s and she got through it. She died of other causes in her 80’s.

I’m 27, I have a husband and we want to start a family really soon. I am plagued with the thought of having a child before I’m 30 because I hear it’s a risk in regards to cancer to have children after than time. It feels like a superstition the way I hear it and I don’t know how you really gauge something like that. I still want to have children soon, it’s not that I feel like I’m rushing solely because of this, I feel ready for it.

I go to the gynecologist every year and get a pap smear and breast check. I already talked with the doctor last year about my family history of breast cancer and said that definitely this coming up check she suggests getting a ultrasound rather than a mammogram because I’m young and my breasts are more dense.

So this appointment will take place around October/November and since about late May I’ve just been feeling like a hypochondriac, always feeling my breasts and worrying about lumpiness that has always been there are just areas that are sensitive. I know the time to check every month but I don’t react like I would with a pain in my arm that will go away, I just feel like it’s worse with my breasts. I work at a job that requires a lot of physical work and bumping around things so if I do feel something I think it’s something as a result of that, or is it not? What if there is something there?

I see sites about cancer survivors and the radiation and treatments and hear medical stories of new medicines to help those with cancer. I don’t read too much into them mostly because of denial. I hear about lumps but not much else for symptoms.

Can anyone direct me to a good place or offer some advice?

Bringing up this subject scares me and makes me sad and my husband is fully aware of it and he feels the same. I don’t want to freak him out over something that is most likely nothing, although I feel like I’m going to burst. I have been distracted and stressed about this off and on. Some days I feel that I shouldn’t worry, I have my upcoming appointment. But, other days I feel like I’m being stupid and should do something now if I’m worrying in general. My husband and I are not rolling in money (we are doing ok with paying bills) and have awful insurance at the moment, we’ve been planning on getting some good insurance by the end of the year so we can get ready to start having kids.

I’m sorry I feel like I’m babbling but I felt I had to get this off my chest somehow and share with someone how I feel. I don’t want to die young and I feel helpless.

New to all of this

2004-06-09T23:45:53Z

Hi, I am new to this group, as well as new to cancer...my mom was just diagnosed with breast cancer last week. This week she will meet with the specialist and surgeon to talk about what they want to do about it. They have already told her that it is a fast spreading type and that maybe the best action would be to take the breast rather than just the lump. My mom is my touchstone...we are not just mother and daughter, we are best friends. She had a stroke last year and now this. I am not sure how I can help her get thru it, especially if i feel like breaking down myself...any advice?
