Think there will be a cure for most kinds in the not too distant future. I may be too late for the likes of me though! I'm booked in for a slice and dice on my Liver on Wednesday. This is after having lung cancer and bowel cancer over the last 2 years. Hopefully the Op will go ok, but there's a good chance of it coming back again.
It could be worse, if I'd had this 10 years ago, I'd have been stuffed for certain.

I've got friend with similar repeating cases, all is going well for him though. As you say the treatments are getting better all the time, they don't really have proper 'real' figures for survival/life expectancy rates now as the technology and early warnings methods are improving so fast .... Best of luck for you Tonto..It could be worse, if I'd had this 10 years ago, I'd have been stuffed for certain.

Christ, very sorry to hear this, and I hope Wednesday will be a complete success.It could be worse, if I'd had this 10 years ago, I'd have been stuffed for certain.
Amazes me what people go through, and the strength they find to fight it.
Good luck Tonto.....remember attitude makes a huge difference.
I held my mums hand and watched her die 10 yrs ago.....still seems like yesterday, she was only 52.
Now here is a question.....we all hear that people die of cancer.....but what actually is it? and what does it do to the body?

From what I gather the cancerous cells divide uncontrollably [hence the spread] and form tumours.The exception to this is Lukemia, where the white blood cells don't form tumours but spread around the body stopping the blood working properly.
Malignant Cancer is where a cell from a Tumour acquires mutation allowing it to grow elsewhere in the body.
The actually 'illness' come from the tmour touching nerves or physically becoming an obstruction in the body. Eg blocking digestive path.
I am no doctor but I am sure that there are plenty of websites that could help if you wanted to learn about cancer.

I've been donating monthly to Cancer Research for some six or seven years now, but the odd thing is I don't actually know anybody with cancer. I'm not really sure why I started donating, but it seemed like a good cause, and still does.
You are blessed indeed KH. It is a very good cause indeed. I was stopped in my tracks yesterday when someone on the radio mentioned Jade Goody.( the woman PHers love to hate)
Yes she annoys the f
k out of me but you really wouldn't wish cancer on anyone.
She is a mother of 2 young kids and aparently only has a 40% chance of making it.
Irrespective of you views of her tallents and fame you have to have some sympathy for her and her kids.

Blast cells in Leukemia.Crash
Dunno much about it apart from that because my OH works in drug development for Leukemia and Kidney Cancer and I was trying to help him with a bit of creativity for a presentation involving 'blasting' blast cells....
One of my best friends sat with his Mum as she died at home from cancer on Thursday morning last week. She'd been clinging on since the 30th December. It was a long and slow death that gradually took away all her mobility, pride and quality of life.
Sadly this was the second parent he's had to watch go in exactly the same way.
All he feels at the moment is relief, following months of stress and worry.
If they can find a cure, hopefully it will be soon.
