Pain
Now I know we all have cancer. And I know chemo can cause pain. Having said that, I have had sharp off and on pain in my right upper quadrant since surgery. My cat scan shows and enlarged liver but no obvious masses. So we decided it was from all the probing and biopsies they did within my abdominal cavity. It subsided and…

I wish I could take this disease away from each and every one of you. I had lunch today with an executive for Schering-Plough/Merck and we were talking about the way to…

I have a question
I read on a thread from someone who had clear cell that 80-85% of the time this sneaky type of cancer will re-appear,tumors will form and this even happens during the chemo. My Dr has already informed me that this type of cancer (which I have) is very dificult to treat and can be un-responsive. Any one else out there with…

A year before my diagnosis I suffered a breakdown. My mum died and a relationship I was having (he can only be described as the love of my…
