- My husband had a 6-inch tumor, stage I/II cancer at age 47, with a colon resection. 6 years later another 2-inch "polyp" and another resection, but no cancer diagnosis with the second tumor. A couple of nodules on his lungs, but watched for 6...
- Everyone has their own cycles. It takes me 3 years to stop grieving from deaths. Three years and eight months to stop grieving after my daughter moved 2000 miles away. Today I am doing better, after two years of severe depression and over a year of...
- So over 5 years past the first colon cancer - 6 inch tumor with left colon resection, a 2-inch tumor will be removed along with the right section of my husband's colon on Friday. Prelim biopsy showed benign, but we are on edge that the pathology...
- Hi everyone. I wanted to give an update on my wonderful, beautiful mother who was diagnosed with ovarian cancer about 2-1/2 years ago. She is 70 years old and alive and well today. Her cancer was found after she had been suffering with cervical...
- After 6 weeks of constipation and lethargy, the doctors found a 5 cm mass in my husband's colon. It's a flat tumor so couldn't be removed during the colonoscopy. The biopsy didn't indicate cancer, but the CT scan results said that a malignancy can't...
- Can someone please help by sharing your experience??? My husband had surgery for colon cancer 6 years ago - the left side of his colon was removed and reattached. He is 54. He went a few weeks without taking his laxatives, particularly problematic...
- About a year ago, I had pretty severe vertigo that resolved to ongoing dizziness. A couple of months later, I woke up to tinnitus in both ears that never went away - just got louder. Now I have hearing loss in both ears. The vertigo comes and goes....
- So I would never say we celebrate chemo, but right now my mother is taking chemo number six, which is her last scheduled chemo. She is one incredible woman. Since January she has had her diagnosis, surgery, chemo, boosters for white blood cells,...
- My counselor says that I don't think logically when it comes to my depression. I'm depressed and obsessed over my family's health. I think about it a lot and certain things help me to deal with their health issues. My counselor says that I have a...
- My mother, 68 years old, had gone to her doctor for treatment for a prolapsed cervix. During a pelvic exam the doctor found a large mass on her ovary. After an internal and external ultrasound and blood test (CA-125?) the doctor has scheduled her...
- So my daughter moved to another state about 2000 miles away. That's it. After over 20 years of living with us, she eloped and moved away and started a new life. She barely knew her husband, and now they are expecting a child. It's been six months...
- I wondered - I know there is no "typical depression", but do most people who are depressed cry a lot every day? I do well in the mornings, but the afternoons and evenings are awful. And I cry for hours almost every single day. Without meds, it would...
- I've heard that depression generally takes an average of 6 months to recover from. So three months down, three to go I guess. But I have it so bad that I don't feel like it will ever go away. I think for a couple of weeks I felk like I was able to...
- My daughter is an opiate addict who is currently in recovery after a 4+ year addiction. She has so many other issues - lying, compulsive shopping, abusive in relationships, other substance abuse, self injury, bulemia, starvation, overeating. She was...
- My husband who is 51 has had DDD for about 8 years. He has many, many bone spurs and schlerosis of the tissue. His only treatment is pain meds and muscle relaxers. There are at least 5 discs involved.Seems like there would be more treatment than...
