Hello Community, I am really eager to try and understand about this rare cancer, I understand it can occur differently in individuals, however there must be a trigger something in our choice of lifestyle that may trigger the cancer gene?? I may also be delusional but worth a shot 🙂 I was diagnosed with ACC in November 2012 after a biopsy in late October I think I had four days to process what was happening and my surgery came an went and they had to remove my entire eye the works!! Very angry because I have no answer as to Why? How ?

This is to be the first of what is hoped to become an annual event . Each year the get together will be in a different city . Anyone who has been diagnosed with this cancer is most welcome to attend .

This is my first time using a blog. After six weeks of being poked and prodded I was finally diagnosed with Follicular Lymphoma on 19 December 2013. What a relief it was to finally receive a diagnosis, one which came totally out of the blue mind you and threw me and my family for six. They discovered an enlarged 3.5cm supraclavicular lymph node on the left side of my neck during a routine thyroid ultrasound. Further tests revealed an 'abundance' of mesenteric lymph nodes, para - aortic and on my bowel.

I had bladder cancer in June, then the same day I was cleared finally, my dad was diagnosed with lung cancer, only to have a biopsy to say it isn't. Now at his 3 month check they aren't sure again, and need to do another biopsy from a different area. On January 1st we got a call to say my dad's twin was going downhill from her multiple cancers. The tumours in her brain at this point now meant she couldn't even communicate with us anymore. She didn't know me, my dad, or her husband, or her kids. She died on the 5th January 2014. Her funeral is next week.

Depression!!!!!! It is so frustrating, I never know what to say, how to say it, or how to snap him out of the funk that he is in. And mostly because I completely understand why he feels depressed. Why wouldn't you! In March we will reach our 2 yr milestone since diagnosis. Last night he said he was done. Cancer is such a nasty disease. Even when you think your done- it has the last word.... dragging its feet..... it will decide when its done.... not you!
