i have breast cancer
This article was helpful because it contains clear, concise information presented in a logical and rational manner. The author(s) of this article appear to have assumed that I (as the reader) am intelligent enough to read the lists of symptoms and associate the information with my physical symptoms. Thank you!
most everything you said even tho it can aslo be signs for other things ,It makes you aware of the things to look for and to ask the drs. about.
If having polyps removed from your colon puts you at increased risk for colorectal cancer, does not having polyps removed affect your risk? This comment has me scratching my head.
What about side effects of radiation treatment? My doctor wants me to go this route instead of chemo.... Any info would be greatly appreciated. I am scared
Have you tried alkaline water I've heard it does wonders to people dealing with cancer and or liver problems...youLL lose nothing by trying it ..........it really touched me it costs you nothing to try it
I just lost one of my brothers from cancer of his voice box. He was having hoarseness with some loss of ability to speak for a long time. I think mainly because he had no insurance, he attempted to doctor himself. Eventually he got worse and a growth appeared in his throat, not very visible, but caused pain and difficult breathing. He saught help finally, then was diagnosed, a tumor found and was removed alone with his voice box. Weeks later it was found the cancer had returned on the opposite side. They could not do radiation at that time. He received two chemo treatments, which caused an opened wound in the crease just under his chin. For some reason he started hemorraging from his trach, was hospitalized, received blood, but they could not stop the bleeding completely. He wanted to go home, and did. He was gone within two days. I'am not sure why the bleeding occured. Please seek help with the first sign of anything unusual, even without insurance. I do believe if he saught help at the onset, he may still be here today.

I had my regular GP tell me years that I was getting older and to expect to feel tired all the time. I had a lot of back pain and one pain management told my GP to send me to an orthopedic oncologist. My GP never told me to follow up on this and was giving me shots me for muscle aches in my lower back. We moved out of the area and new doctor told me after I could not stand the pain . that I had Myltiple Myeloma. Thank God I found a wonderful doctor that suggested a stem cell transplant and I am now in remission
i am a 2x breast cancer survivor and could talk to anyone going through this
Hugs loveme
is it true mushroom toxins can cure cancer ,how?
God bless all the families who deal with the sadness of cancer. I lost my husband a wonderful physician who had helped so many people. He ignored the signs because he thought it just wouldn't happen to him---men pay attention and get check ups!
In the early stages of breast cancer is chemotherpay necessary

overweight, I decided to "rearrange" my eating habits. Heavy meal at noon, light meal at night and nothing after 6 pm. I lost about 1 pound per week. Ironically, what I thought was my diet turned out to be chollangio carcinoma--liver cancer and when discovered, I was in stage 4 and incurable. I have been given 10-12 months to live with 7-9 months remaining. Most people have been terrific, helpful, supportive, and simply wonderful. There are some insensitives who felt it worth their time to approach me. I have been asked "what did you do to get the cancer?" "Are you the one dying or something?" "I checked the internet-your cancer is not all that bad. You'll be ok. You are not dying." My favorite is "do you think God is trying to tell you something?" And don't forget about the one who loves attention so picks fights with you because you are now a captive audience. Be kind. Speak kind. Be supportive. If you don't know what to say, say nothing. I find that I am willing to talk freely about my cancer. I will answer questions. I want to talk about it. That is the way I am and that doesn't mean everyone is the same way. A simple hand on the shoulder or a hug says volumes and says it appropriately.

Saw the "symptoms of cancer" website ad and clicked on it - which took me to another page that offered "symptoms of cancer" and I clicked on it - which took me to another page that offered "symptoms of cancer." At that point I was asked to rate the page. So far I had been given NO information other than I should know the symptoms early on. In order to rate the page I had to sign up and two more pages later . . . get the picture?

I'd like to know the symptoms of skin cancer... Anyone know?
"...Having polyps removed from your colon or a history of inflammatory bowel disease, including Crohn's and ulcerative colitis, puts you at increased risk for colorectal cancer." This sentence is somewhat misleading as it suggests that the procedure of removing polyps is risky, whereas it is the presence of polyps that indicates risk.

CRAMPS AND LOW BACHACHE UTERINE CANCER SPREAD TO MY LUNG MIXED MALLORIAN HYBRID..THOUGHT IT WAS ARTHRITIS
Another sign of cancer is bruising of the skin (red and purple) or mottled looking skin. My mothers skin looked like she had been beat all over her arms 2 years before she was diagnose with Throat cancer. Once treatment started, it went away!. The saddest thing ,her skin (arms and face) looked more beautiful in death, then it had been in life. She had no make up on at her viewing.
