In August 2008 I was told I had cervical cancer the needed a type of hysterectomy that would cure me of this. In going for tests to see which of the four types would help they found a tumor. So instead of an easy solution it is now going to take surgery and radiation and chemotherapy. Holly cow is all I thought. Well into surgery I went, it went well. They took a lot of lymph nodes from my groin leaving me with lymphodema in both legs. Straight into menopause. Not the best out come but okay I thought.

Hi, does anyone suffer sarcoidosis. Please tell me yr story about this dis-ease and did it appear after cancer?

I'm afraid today. My mum passed away from breast cancer. Less than 2 months ago... She finished treatment last year and we thought she was ok but it turns out she wasn't. She died 4 days after we found out it was in her liver. It happened so quickly and I haven't stopped thinking about her ever since. Now I'm getting a biopsy tomorrow for a lump I have on my breast. I hope it's nothing...

i am a48 years old with lung cancer with two children i am so messed up dont no if should do chemo or not thinking of alternatives ned help thanks neil

My wife was diagnosed with liver metastases (secondary liver cancer) in June 2011. She was told it was stage 4 (terminal). Her original brush with Cancer was with bowel/colon cancer in 2006. She had a resection (part of her bowel taken out) and we were told they had got all of it and it was unlikely to reappear. She had annual colonoscopy checkups just to make sure.

Every year since we were married my wife (who is a brilliant cook) has made hot cross buns in Good Friday morning. Today I suggested I make them instead (this is because my wife is in stage 4 of liver cancer, the second course of Chemo has not worked and she is really ill). Do you think I did the right thing? Apparently not. I was given a severe talking to this morning. Apparently my offer was a real insult to my wife. Apart from not being a good enough cook to manage the task (which may well be true, but I do make a mean pizza dough!) the offer was deeply insulting.
