They are giving my mother-in-law a low dose of carboplatin.  She also has a
private room and they have a drainage tube in her nose, because she can't
hold anything down.  She has lost allot of weight, you can really see it in
her face.

As many of you may know, one of the alternative therepies is the salt
Cesium Chloride. I spent a day searching on www.sciencedirect.com (an
account is required) for any scientific papers on the subject. Most
are form the early 80's. I have  abstracts  at work in Word format (if

Catharine passed away early this week. We knew it was coming since she
hadn't been posting to the breast cancer newsgroup since last Fall and
she'd exhausted all treatments.  She's the last of the "oldies" I'd been
following for years (yet she was so young). I've been reading her ...

Just received new information about my mother-in-law.  She has ovarian
adenocarcinoma (which is cancer that comes from the
glands of ovary tissue),  and it's in the liver too.  She starts chemo
today, but in a very low dose. The name of the chemo is carboplatin.

I friend of mine was diagnosed with sarcoma in a toe. It was amputated
and no other treatments were taken. This was 3 months ago and so far
so good. Since then I have been reading as much as I can about cancer.
A few of the older books seem to indicate that a vast majority of

Yesterday i got the shattering news of my specialist that i seem to have
myelofibrosis, or allso known as MMM (Myelofibrosis with myeloid
metaplasia). Is anyone acquainted with the disease?

I just got back from my RAI treatment- I got 150 mci for my papillary
thyroid cancer and sure enough the post-therapy scan showed uptake in
the same area as my PET/CT (I had to bite my tongue and say I told you
so - to the urgeon when will they start listenin to me ?!)

Seems like this is such an easy thing to be a part of, but there's

if I'm wrong.  I'm speaking of the US.
I used to give blood as often as I could.  I was a popular O+ guy.

it shows a shadow(or something) on the right lung(hilum)
She now has to go for more tests including Bronchoscopy
Well i typed in Bronchoscopy to google and never been so scared in my

My brother had several polyps removed during a colonoscopy and my
question is, would a separate biopsy report be written up for each polyp
or would they just report on all of the polyps on one report?
Thank you

I am new to the group and looking for some answers to my questions.
My mother-in-law was diagnosed last Friday with  Adenocarcinoma,
Metastases. I'm not sure what this is.  I do know it's cancer. We are still
waiting for more tests to determine the grade and how bad it really is.

Two years ago I was involved in a serious motorcycle accident. I
broke all my ribs down the right side, suffered a collapsed lung,
a lung infection, septicaemia and they opened me up to check my
diaphram only to find they had actually punctured my liver with a

Dear group,
   Does anyone have any ideas about APR and the rate of sexual dysfunction
following the procedure? I've read on some websites that it occurs about 40
percent of the time due to the proximity of a nerve bundle to the rectal

I am a 23 years old smoker that has recently discovered a parculiar
sensation in my throat.  It is like a mild burning.  I have also had blood
in my spit in the morning.  I am scheduled to see a nose and throat doctor
next week, however, I was hoping someone could answer me a ...
