My partner wants to run away
So I have been dating this amazing man for a few months. Everything is wonderful and we are very happy. He had radiation for a brain tumor about 2 years ago and said that it was gone. Recently he has been having intense headaches in the spot the tumor was, had a severe lack of energy, can't get out of bed on time, has some…
Only Child- Depressed Parent- Help
Hi There, My Dad died of brain cancer 4 years ago this month (we only had 2 months to speculate, 3 weeks to fully prepare). I thought things would get better by now, but my mom is still stuck and unable to hold down a job and her life. She doesn't view me (the only child) as a "positive" thing in her life. She says her cat…
A healing attitude
As survivors, at one point in our lives--whether it was last decade or last month--a wicked, foreign agent wedged it's way into our body.

Rituxan Side Effects
I have RA and started taking Rituxan in July. Since that time I started experiencing a terrible itching rash in my groin. My doctor prescribed two different ointments that I used. When the first one didn't work she prescribed another. Neither of these worked. From that point on I followed her suggestion and stopped using…
The Cancer Conflict Movie -
Hi everyone, I am Tom and I have been making a film about cancer. The documentary is following two people, one who's chosen chemo while the other alternative therapy, while exploring the question 'why does the UK have the lowest cancer survival rate in Western Europe?' It's all about people's relationship to their…
Celebrating b-day today with cancer
Today is my husband's birthday. He has cancer and we are celebrating his birthday tonight. For the first time ever, we did not make prior plans and are doing this last minute. I am thankful he feels like going out and grateful he has reached this annual milestone. Having a birthday is a gift, and I thank heaven. Thank you,…
