A week ago, we were a normal family. We have a normal dad, a normal mom, a normal teenage me, and a normal little sister. And then on Tuesday my entire world changed. Everything. My mom has cancer, and it might be spreading. And I don't know what to do. I mean, I'm helping with chores, so my mom doesn't have to work so hard, because I don't understand what she's going through. And I'm already preparing myself for the worst, because I need to let go of my own emotional needs and focus on hers. I have to balance studying for high school exams, and I need to keep my dad and sister in a good condition, because my dad's not handling it too well, and my sister's only 10. I don't know how to help. I'm being supportive, and I'm helping around the house, and I'm hugging her, and smiling, and telling her she's going to get better, and when she leaves, I burst into tears. But my emotions aren't the important ones right now.
I just need to find some way to hope, some way to know that there are other people who have made it through this. That way, I can help her better. And actually believe the things I say.

My mom has cancer as well. I lost my father to cancer at 25, i lost my grandmother to cancer two days before christmas this year, and I found out recently that my mom has pancreatic cancer. They removed part of her pancreas and the hope was she would heal. But her post op scan after 6 months did not yield good results. I am holding out hope but its tough. I am the same as the girl above, I do not show emotion around my mom, I don't bat an eye. I hug her all the time and tell her I love her, but other then that, I act like nothing is changed. When I am alone I cry all the time. I can't talk about it with many people because all I want to do is cry. I am scared as hell, and I feel like my family is shrinking around me. The most recent diagnosis was as short as 6 months and as long as a few years, but no body knows. I am scared and don't know what to do. I am thinking of having the doctor prescribe me xanax, but I feel that is a short term answer. After my dad died I smoked pot a lot, pretty much all the time. The funny thing is outside of a few friends no one really knew. Good eye drops and my already silent personality did not make me stick out. And when you smoke pot enough, it really does not have that much of an external effect, just affected how I felt inside, which was normal, or at least relaxed. And for those of you reading this who think that I am some unaccomplished pothead, that is not the case. My father died the same year I graduated from law school. I smoked pot during law school, I smoked after law school, and while I am being honest, I smoked a blunt by myself in my hotel room the night before I took the bar exam for the first and only time, and I passed. I am practicing lawyer now, and as sad as it is to say, it really was the only way for me to feel normal again. My dad was my best friend and I still haven't gotten over losing him. And now I am faced with this road again.

Iv had a small (pea sized), hard, dark pinkish lump on my arm for around 5 or 6 years. Its never grown or changed in shape, has never bled or itched or hurt so iv always put off going to a doctor about it. Im a 19 year old male and have had this since i was atleast 13. Im just wondering is it likely it could be serious?

I found one in my underarm, about the size of a gumball, It didn't hurt until it went away and came back. Now that was a few years ago, now I just found two tiny ones; one on my shoulder. It felt like a pimple at first but I couldn't pop it at all, it was like thick tissiue, it doesn't hurt any more, but it's still there like a swollen scar. I will keep you in my prayers.

i don't even know where to begin, I am scared in every wauy possible and when I told some of my closest friends the wanted to avoid the subject, when I asked for their opinion on it they said if they would have found out thast they had cancer that they would have gone on a rampage and flipped out on everyone. I cried when the doctor came to me with the paperwork and the look in his eyes showed pity. I am a 22 year bisexual male artist (painter), tattoo artist, piercer, crackhead, icehead, heroin addict, ex-transvestite. I used to be a prostitute at the age of 14 and experimented with so many different drugs. I was totally angry with myself when I found out. Then I wanted to be mad at everyone else, but I couldn't. I just wanted to scream from the top of my lungs until I couldn't scream anymore. I cry from anger, confusion and fear of whta I know has to come. I trust in God for my strength, I believe this is a test of faith. I love my family alot and I hate even telling them when I am in pain because it hurts them, they want to talk about something else.... I feel so alone... I get these ugly thoughts in my head to just drive into the river, but God speaks too loud in my head, that scares me too, God must want me for a reason, still I am scared,. I feel boxed in with my own thoughts, it eats at me slowly, but not to where it hurts, it just drains me, and then it becomes physical. I think of pacman eating me, I doubt that makes sense to anyone. It's like the wiring is wrong, or as if they cut the wiring with scissors, I feel weak in the dark, I thirst for the sun although it drains me too. My nerves are all out of wack.

I’m sixty-three years of age, and a veteran of the Vietnam war. In June of 2007, I was diagnosed as having prostate cancer. I was told that my cancer was in the low risk category. I chose not to take the Brachytherapy treatment offered because of all the side effects associated with radiation therapy.
A friend told me about Maxgxl. I did more research about Maxgxl, glutathione and prostate cancer. I decided to give Maxgxl a try and I’m glad I did, because I found out that Maxgxl provided other benefits I didn’t count on. I have arthritis and a herniated dics in my lower back. Since I have been taking Maxgxl, my back, hemorrhoids, arthritis doesn’t bother me anymore. I always have a lot of energy and I’m never tired or feel worn out. As I stated at the beginning, I’m 63 years of age, I've been told that I look much younger.
I still see my VA doctor on a regular basis. She asked why I chose not to take radiation therapy for my prostate cancer. I told her because of the side effects of radiation therapy. I also told her that I was taking Maxgxl. She asked me to provide her with information about Maxgxl. I gave her a box of Maxgxl and she made a copy of the info on the outside of the box.
My doctor also monitored the results of my lab specimens and discovered that the prostate cancer was not spreading. She told me that I could keep taking the Maxgxl and also that I should continue checking my PSA level on a regular basis for any changes that may occur.
On July 13, 2009, I went back for a re-examination of my prostate. I received the results of my prostate examination on July 20, 2009. In the exam report, it stated that my cancer was in remission.

Professionals at Kaiser say I will die of suffocation and starvation. Does anyone know from experience with a family member or been told different by your caregivers? I am having night terrorsof choking and insomnia. The thyroid area is lumpy and pulling my chin down. It is hard to swallow, liquids usually impossible. I have reported it twice already so don't tell me that. I have searched three engines.

Go see an Ear, Nose, Throat doctor. When I had my thyroidectomy my doctor put in a tracheostomy so I could breathe. I also ended up with a feeding tube in my stomach so I could take fluids. Don't let those doctors tell you what's going to happen. Be proactive in your care. If they're telling you one thing and it's not what you want, find another doctor.

I recently accepted the challenge to raise money and help the fight against lung cancer through the National Lung Cancer Partnership and Free to Breathe.
My mother had lung cancer for 4 years and she passed away May 30, 2009. I am doing this in memory of her. Please support me in this incredibly important effort by making a donation today or signing up for our team-Cowgirl Up. Your contribution will help empower patients, save lives and make lung cancer a priority!
It's faster and easier than ever to support this great cause. Make your tax-deductible donation online by visiting my personal page. If you prefer, you may send your contribution by mail to the address listed below using this downloadable donation form:
National Lung Cancer Partnership
22 N. Midvale Blvd., Suite 6
Madison, WI 53705
My teams website is http://participate.freetobreathe.org/site/TR?team_id=6130&pg=team&fr_id=1137
Your gift will make a difference in the lives of many and any amount, great or small, helps in the fight. I greatly appreciate your support.
Lung cancer kills approximately 160,000 people in the United States each year—more people than breast, colon, and prostate cancers combined. It is responsible for over a quarter of all cancer-related deaths in the U.S. each year. Lung cancer is a very common disease – approximately 219,000 people each year in the United States will be diagnosed with it. It is also a very lethal disease – roughly 85% of people who are diagnosed with lung cancer will die of it within five years of their initial diagnosis

Soy una estudiante de medicina, y aunque aun este en el cuarto ciclo de la carrera, se que esta es una enfermedad que aqueja a muchas mujeres hoy en día, disminuyendo mucho su calidad de vida, así como su salud.
Una amiga mía, y digo amiga porque así la considero (fue mi profesora), sufrió de cancer a la mama. Fue una enfermedad que la consumió mucho, pero a pesar de eso estoy segura que fue muy luchadora.
Que bueno que exista esta wiki, para informar a las mujeres de hoy en día mucho más acerca de esta enfermedad y además para ayudar a prevenirla de alguna u otra forma.
Aunque aún no se halla encontrado la cura para el cáncer, sé que se está trabajando arduamente para hacerlo.

Una amiga mia, digo amiga porque en realidad así la concidero (fue mi profesora), sufrió de cancer a la mama, y lamentablemente murió.
Las consecuencias de esta enfermedad afectan mucho, no solo a la persona que la sufre, si no a las personas que la rodean también.
Me da mucho gusto que exista este blog e informe a las mujeres de hoy en día acerca de esta enfermedad y como poder de alguna u otra forma, prevenirla.
Aunque aun no se encuentre la cura para el cancer, sé que se esta haciendo todo lo posbile por encontrarla.

I have been dealing with this for the last 6 months. I have had CT scans, PET scan and there has been no change in size of lesion or lesions to upper right lobe. I have a return PET scan in 1-2 mths. I am really scared. Is there anyone who has dealt with this and might be able to offer some comforting words and / or advice?

Hello,
I am almost 65 years old and had a routine CT of my heart and arteries. On this CT they found two non calcified, spiculated areas. The radiologist recommended a CT of my lungs. This CT which is not as defined did not show the same thing and I went to a pulmonologist who said I was a victim of technology. Just wait and see in 4 or 5 months. I am very worried and if a more accurate test found the areas, then why is that CT not being looked at more closely. He said that if I had just had a regular check x-ray or the lung CT then these areas would not have shown up. The more advanced heart CT did show the areas so what am I suppost to do. I have a persistant cough. What are you going to do next? I need advice because the Doctors don't seem to care.

My mom had a recent CT that showed a spiculated mass in the right apex of her lung. It measured 1-1.3 cm. A pet scan was performed with inconclusive results. Is a spiculated mass always cancer?

"My mom had a recent CT that showed a spiculated mass in the right apex of her lung. It measured 1-1.3 cm. A pet scan was performed with inconclusive results. Is a spiculated mass always cancer?" On a routine CT scan of my heart, they found two areas in my right lung with spiculated edges. The CT lung scan did not show the same thing but the heart scan is more involved. Something is there but the Dr. said (you are a victim of technology and we will just wait and see. Wait for what? What did your mother find out about her spiculated mass? They just want to do an asthma test on me. I have a persistant cough. Should I worry about these spiculated areas or what? If I had only had a regular chest x-ray or the CT of the lung, it would not have showed up like the CT of the heart. I do not know what to do.

The prognosis above is only for those below 45. What about those of us older and having the "most aggressive" case the MD has ever seen? He says I have months to a year and I found it at asymptomatic BB size. It was huge and blocking my throat by the time I got to surgery and he just scraped out what he could. Don't leave us out.
