I would love to get in touch with anyone who has or has had a GIST.

My beloved wife of 24 years, friend, companion and kindred spirit for over 30 years died last Sunday. I knew it was coming but I didn’t expect it to be so quick, so final, and oh so painful. Less than four weeks is what it took in the end; from the time she was told that the latest treatment wasn’t working, and there was nothing more that could be done, to when she slipped into a coma and drifted away. She was so brave, never complaining, caring about how the children would cope until the very end. It is so unfair.

My husband had testicular cancer of the right testicle 15 years ago, he has now been diagnosed with testicular canner of the left testicle. Just wondering if thus could be deemed as a pre existing condition as we are supposed to go on holidays on Thursday, he is having surgery on Tuesday and are unsure If he is able to go Thursday??? Any replys would be very appreciated Please help ...

Coming to terms with my vulnerability It's such a odd feeling to go to a check up (nothing was wrong, just went because i thought i am supposed to go) and 1,2,3 dermatologist ogles a mole ( I've never seen it before, wasn’t aware it was there) says it needs to be looked at under microscope and one minute later i got a needle and a scalpel in my back!

I have had the most terrible 3 weeks witnessing what this dreadful disease has done to my darling husband Rex. We knew it was terminal 6 months ago and we thought we had prepped ourselves pretty well but he didn't get a chance to fulfill some of his 'bucket list' because he has deteriated so quickly.

Well I got my letter in the mail today about my next surgery that is a result from my first cancer. I am looking forward to it but scared at the same time.I have a bladder reconstruction and a sling put in. I am hoping that is straight forward, but my family are hurting seeing me go under the knife once again. I have tried to hold them up in the past but for some reason no longer have the strength to do so this time. Please help, all I do now is work and come home. I have even found it hard to answer the phone from them for they want to hear words that I no longer have.
