I was excited to get my CT scan results but heartbroken when they showed two small (1mm & 4 mm) lung nodules.... now I've gone from being confident, proactive & goal-oriented to a total mess. :( These are too small. They could have been missed on a previous CT scan. They can also be of non-...

How old is your husband? My son (a medical doctor) once told me that from point of view of cancer recurrence I could eat anything.

Where do you live that you haven't been able to see an oncologist in 4 months? Canada or another single payer country? For me 2 month waiting for a surgery seems in line with Canadian situation. Many Americans have not even heard about "Waiting times". However in many countries it's a rea...

If we look at world rankings, we find that 17 out of the top 20 hospitals are in the United States with the United States also holding the top 7 spots. http://hospitals.webometrics.info/en/World This is similar to what my doctor told me: "Best hospitals in the US are better than best hospitals...

Welcome to uncertain world of cancer diagnosis and prognosis! The answers on all your questions are either "yes, but" or "probably". 1) Did the GI who removed 90.% possibly put me at risk and exposed my tubulovillouss polyp to other areas of the colon? Yes, although nobody can te...

What I'm having a REALLY hard time with is how my parents and husband and sister will handle my actual dying part. I know that once I'm gone it will be terribly difficult for them (we're all such a close-knit family), but I won't be around to help them... Is there anything I can do to make this who...
