Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Cancer / June 2007My mom died of lung cancer
She never smoked EVER! She probably got it from the mental hospital she worked at for years. What do you think are my chances of getting any kind of cancer? Trolling a cancer support newsgroup is pretty f.cking pathetic. I know you've heard this many times before, but let me say it again- you are a loser. > She never smoked EVER!

She didn't smoke so we don't know where it came from. I'm just curious... I heard it skips a generation meaning my kids would have it. I think you're the troll sir.

I think you're the troll sir. Can't get anything past you.. Yes, cancer skips a generation. Like baldness, or rickets. Have you purchased anything on an infomercial lately? They have some good cancer preventatives on TV. > She never smoked EVER! She probably got it from the mental hospital > she worked at for years.

My late husband suffered the same fate as your mom, probably got his NSCLC in the workplace. Never smoked & was an anti-smoking activist. You might be interested in the following site. This is the only organization I know of that's taking on lung cancer as a cause. They have lots of info & have/had a lung cancer awareness campaign going in NYC & San Francisco including posters on mass transit. Other than this, I haven't found much in the way of lung cancer research anywhere. The belief seems to be stop smoking & the problem goes away. That's a huge part, but not all. It sucks when people contract a fatal illness from earning a living. wwwabreathawayfromthecure.org Fig > lonelyone <korp...@gmail.com> wrote in news:1182745768.947417.26270 > @a26g2000pre.googlegroups.com: [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > > Fig My mom died of lung cancer but she smoke. When I was evaluated at the high risk clinic were you meet with a genetic counselor, my mom's cancer was not considered a risk factor. | She never smoked EVER!

Was this recent?You have lost your best pal, and there will be a vacuum for a long time.My sincere condolences. Regarding your chances of getting any kind of cancer, I'm no expert but I would say they are no greater and no lesser than most people's. |Try not to worry about it. That's not the way to go through life.Have a positive outlook - look forward each morning with hope, look back each night with gratitude.Prayer and meditation can help enormously. Develop your interests, and be more outward-looking. The 'feel-good' factor is a powerful influence. Write here as often as you like if it helps. Best wishes, Old Bill. > | She never smoked EVER!

I'm sorry about your mom and don't know any magic words for you. I lost my hubby April 28, and there are no words. Stay strong. Peace, Giuditta > > | She never smoked EVER!

Prior to my mom's passing she was pretty strong before she received chemo therapy and I honestly believe that it made her worse. When she was diagnosed with cancer it was already in stage 4 and the doctor suggested to not go through with it. But my mom really wanted to live as long as she could for me. I think she was more worried about me than herself. Does anyone feel the same way about chemo theraphy? It was so hard to watch because at periods of times she would be confused and not know where she was and talk about things that weren't really there. What puzzles me most is that she never to hardly took her pain medication. I guess she wanted a clear mind. Although she never expressed she was in any pain. It haunts me everyday. I don't know what else to say I just would like to know others experiences on chemo theraphy. Take care all! lonelyone wrote in alt.support.cancer: > Thank you very much!

It's a case of the lesser of two evils. > lonelyone wrote in alt.support.cancer: > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > some damage in order to provide a benefit. It's a case of the lesser of two > evils. At the time no one knew (us) and she had a very strong will to survive. I wish I knew before hand I would of told her not to. But it's hard knowing someone is so sick and you can't do anything but watch. So any treatment sounded good. Either way if the doctors knew what they were doing they should of never let her do it. You can't look back. You did what you could, the best you could. And that is all anyone can do. |
