My doctor is planning on doing the laproscopic surgery for colon cancer and I was wondering if anyone in here had had this?
I am writing a story and a little girl is born with cancer. I want it to be a type of cancer that lets her be a little girl but it can take her life away anytime. I want her to be able to play and not be in the hosiptal all the time and yet I need something severe. Thanks!
More specifically, I’ll be attending the Susan B. Anthony Cancer Marathon in Las Vegas this weekend. I am field reporting for my high school morning show and will be interviewing participants and such.
What are some great questions to ask these people?
ONLY PROFESSIONAL RELEVANT QUESTIONS, PLEASE.
I’m sorry. I meant the Race for a Cure, not Susan B. Anthony.
My grandmother, who is 83 years old, was diagnosed with ovarian cancer over two years ago. She has been stage 4 once, back to stage 2, and now back to stage 4. She has extreme abdominal swelling and pain (ascites). She had 6 quarts of fluid taken off her stomach 3 weeks ago, and 8 more quarts taken off two days ago. Her stomach has already begun swelling again. She can not take certain types of chemo because her esosphagus has been damaged. She was supposed to get chemo intraveneously yesterday, but the doctor would not allow it because she did not look well enough. My grandparents are old school and do not question the doctor on anything, so we have no idea how long she may have to live. Does anybody have any experience with a prognosis, life expectancy, quality of life? She is a Christian, she is ready to go to the Lord, but she continues to have procedures (parencentesis) done because her husband is not ready to let her go.
My husband has every symptom listed of colon cancer except for weight loss, but he is only 31 years old. This just can’t be right… I made him get checked out today and now we are just waiting for a specialist to to look at his colon next week.
