My father had a CEA test in Dec 03, the level was 5. Almost a year
later, and after having surgery to cure Anal/Rectal cancer (colostomy
now), his level is a 17. He also had his gall bladder removed roughly
3 months ago, which I read could increase the levels of a CEA test. I

Researchers say men put at risk of impotence

Hi,
I'm a 5 year survivor of Inflammatory Breast Cancer.  IBC is pretty
rare, anyone else out there with this diagnosis?  Because IBC is so
aggressive, treatment is equally tough.  After Adriamyacin/Taxotere,

<Hi everybody!
I just want to let you now I'm O.K. Today I went to my first radiotherapy
session. I feel very good and I`m really in good mood these days. I wish to
myself  that it still keeps going like today.

I spoke to my sister's doctor yesterday.  She had given them

and so on?
My aunt suggested we just let it go and do what we feel is right
