Ready for Surgery, Need Advice
I was disagnosed with stage 2, muscle invasive bladder cancer, N-0, M-0 in April. Two MRIs showed no cancer outside the bladder. After 6 sessions of chemotherapy, my oncologist has determined it is time to remove the bladder (along with prostate and lymph nodes). Since I'm age 70, he's concerned about

BrCA Positive and New to This...
Hi there. I've recently been diagnosed with the BrCA gene (for those who are unsure, Angeline Jolie had this. In a nutshell, I will most likely have cancer in my lifetime occurring in my breasts/ovaries, and so measures such as mastectomy and oophorectomy are very common). IVF has been recommended to

Negative breast cancer
I read a lot of the blogs on here. My condition was very different. I had lung cancer in my right breast! Very few cases all over the world (30 in all?). It was small cell. I was diagnosed in June 2015 just after having a hysterectomy in the May! First I was told a mastectomy and then the oncologist

It'll all end on Tuesday next. I'll be on tamoxifin for 5 years, though. Somehow I'm unable to

Bile reflux after liver transplantation or just Acid Reflux? Anyone?
Hello all, I'm still here feeling so horrible with all these symptoms. They put me on metoclopramide but I felt so depressed and distressed after taking them.

Chemotherapy
Hello everyone. My partner had a mastectomy early last June. She's due to start chemo next weeks as a "preventive" measure (stage 3). I was wondering if the 6 week wait was too long?

Feet and heel pain during chemo
Hi friends and well wishers, My mom is undergoing chemotherapy followed by mastectomy. She has completed 4 cycles with 15 days gap and 1 of the 12 weekly cycles. I wonder why she has to go through so many cycles of chemo; is this normal process? She is experiencing more pain in her heels and legs. She
