looking for testicular lymphoma cancer survivors
My husband has just been dianosed with testicular lymphoma. This came at us like a thunderbolt...this to a man who has never had a serious illness. I am lost and scared and don't know how to deal with this. Can anyone help me?
To those w/ Pancreatic Cancer: Have you considered...
The Gerson Therapy or Dr. Gonzalez's Enzyme Therapy? They're alternative treatments, but people seem to have a good deal of success with them. Here are some case studies: http://gerson.org/case/case0.php?case=41 http://www.dr-gonzalez.com/pancreatic.htm
Adrenal Cancer
Has anyone who has adrenal cancer lived on Camp Lejeune prior to 1980? My son in law died of undeteced adreanal cortical carcinoma at age 29 in 2002.

In need of support
My partner was just diagnosed for the 3rd time with Liposarcoma, she is tough as nails but I wonder how much more she can go through. Her 1st was in her thigh, 2nd in her tailbone and this time in her pelvic bone. Chemo starts again in 2 weeks. She had been off chemo for 2 months after a year and a half of intensive…

Pancreatic Cancer
My husband was recently diagnosed with Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer and is currently undergoing Chemo. I am having a hard time dealing with the depression he is going through. I feel I need some advice on how to deal with such devastating news, and such a poor prognosis.
Pancreatic Cancer
I had my pancreas removed due to stage one cancer. The disease was contained to the pancreas with no limp node involvment. I have two different opinions from my surgeon and oncologyst. The surgeon says chemo is not necessary and the oncologyst says I need chemo as a preventative measure. HELP totally confused as to what to…

I have searched this entire site and have not found anyone with this type of cancer in this location. The bracial plexes nerves, veins and artery are all involved.

He is scheduled to start chemo with a 24 hour pump and radiation this week. It is my understanding radiation is being used this time…
Anal Cancer
I have looked through the site and found there isn't a specific site for anal cancer. I can see that it is somewhat in the Colorectal cancer category. There is a misconception that anal and rectal are the same type of cancer, which they aren't. The treatment is different as well as a few other things. So I thought I'd…
