Newl lump on arm. (outside upper arm) (page: 1 2)

I was diagnosed 3 years ago with a myxoid liposarcoma in my left thigh. I had a radical surgery ot hae it removed, so far, so good.

I recently found a small lump on my upper, outer arm about a month ago. It was only the size of a small pea but has gotten to be grape size and for some reason, my untire upper arm in now bruised and painful to the touch. I have an appointment this Tuesday to have it looked at.

I was wondering if anyone else has had this before. Thanks. I can't find much info on the net concerning this.

Hi, my name is Karen. I am a “FOUR-TIME SURVIVOR OF CERVICAL, COLON, LIVER AND RECTAL CANCER”. I am writing this asking you to help me get my story out to the world, so that in return there will be millions of people who find Comfort, Healing and HOPE. I would love to share with you how I went from despair to joy.
Our bodies are miraculous! Mine has come through 14 different surgeries in just the last 14 years.
Walk with me as I share my journey through this incredible ordeal. It has taken a lot of personal development on my part to get me through the trauma. My story could possibly be your story. There are probably many things that we have in common, you just haven't written yours down yet.
At the age of 25, I was diagnosed with cervical cancer. At 32, I was diagnosed with a Vertebral Artery Dissection in the brain. In June of 2001, at 38, I was once again diagnosed with Cancer. This time of the Colon, I prayed for God to get me through this and once again he delivered me. He wasn’t finished with me yet, so in February 2002, at 39, I was diagnosed with Cancer of the Liver. I told God that I would bear the load if only I could touch one person. He allowed me to touch more than one; he has allowed me to touch thousands. Before going into surgery for the Cancer of the Liver, the doctors told me to get my affairs in order because I probably wouldn’t make it through this time. I told them that they weren’t God, and that he would decide when it was time for me to go. Little did I know that He had more in store for me. In June of 2003, at 40, I was diagnosed with Rectal Cancer.
In conclusion, I look forward to sharing my story with you in my book: One Woman’s Story: How I Survived Cervical, Colon, Liver and Rectal Cancer. Please feel free to visit my website at www.4xcancersurvivor.com.

In His Grip,
Karen

Mesothelioma Cancer

A very good friend of mine has a grandfather that was recently diagnosed with <a href="http://www.asbestos.com/">mesothelioma</a>. My friend told me that his chances of surviving are almost non-existent and that the treatment options for mesothelioma are pretty much only for slowing it down. I can't believe that more people aren't talking about how dangerous this type of cancer is and how it develops. After doing some research I found out that THE ONLY way you can get mesothelioma is through asbestos exposure. I think those responsible for the asbestos exposure should be held accountable.

What does everyone else think?
