I was diagnosed in July 09 with a large metastasis of lymph nodes periaortic. There has been no response to chemotherapy and surgeons have declined to remove this.

My best friend has breast cancer and definitely needs chemotherapy ?
before they do anything else. they said neoadjunct therapy.
I want to be very helpful and supportive of her because she was just divorced and doesnt have alot of family and we been lifelong best friends.
I don’t even mind doing nurse duties for her but how sick does chemo make woman ?
We are both in our 30′s and this is sad.
I don’t know what stage her cancer is yet. She is still in tests for staging.

Manipulating makes one feel inferior because one feels like they have to do something extra and can’t just lay back and be themselves. Also one doesn’t feel accepted for themselves and constantly feels like they have to be trying to be something they’re not. I don’t want to manipulate!!! Argh. How can I stop this habit?? Why is it so important for cancers to be loved and accepted? [According to the Zodiac it simply is just our #1 concern!] Help! Is there any hope??

My monther-in -law has a pancreas cancer, i really hope that she can live happily as before.Is it possible that i could do somehting?

I just had a biopsy in my mouth (the roof of) they fear that it is cancer. I won’t know the results for about 2 weeks. I don’t smoke. I only drink on special occasions, afterall, I can have fun without drinking. Oh, and I don’t hang around with people who smoke. How can a person who does not smoke or drink get cancer. I have heard that people who smoke or drink (and I read it too), are the ones who get it and that is the only way you can get mouth cancer. I just wondered if there are any websites or if anyone else knows how this could happen. Maybe one of you have had an experience with it or know of someone just like me who has. The doctor won’t say much. It is possible that I don’t, but someone else I talked to said their uncle had the same thing as me, but they thought it was just a bone and it turned out to be cancer. I hope you can make sense of my post.
Thank you.
I just want to say you all have great answers!!!! I appreciate the kind words. I am stressed a lot and it is showing. I am snappy with everyone and it is thowing them for a loop; especially because I have always been a very nice person (it is just in my nature) and they have never seen me angry or snappy. I will take your words into my heart and it does make me feel better mentally, but not physically because my mouth still hurts from the large portion they cut out. My anxiety was so bad that my blood pressure went up & someone made me really mad and I was yelling (I normally don’t yell) & a stitch popped out and my mouth swelled up bigger. Well, thanks again.
