AMy brother is going on 3 years from colon cancer, and my daughter is going on 2 years from lung cancer, non smoker. They are doing very well at the time. We are very thankful that it was caught in time. I wish you the very best with your recovery. Blessings, Sparkles.

AI am an 8 year survior of ovarian cancer. Every year I help out with our Relay for Life. My mother and her two sisters have had a bunch of fund raisers this year for it. Cancer as effected everyone in our family from losing my uncle two years ago at the age of 41 to my cousin now who is battleing for her life. It is very worth my time.

ARock stars are human beings who have mothers, fathers, spouses, children, friends, and relatives who can get cancer too . . rock stars can also get cancer . . they relate because they understand what it is like to have someone they love or even themselves have cancer. Cancer crosses all boundaries, affects all ages, both sexes, all countries, all races, all socio-economic groups, celebrities, rock stars . . no one is immune from cancer or its devastating affects. Why wouldn't rock stars relate to cancer survivors.List of celebrities including rock stars who have cancer, died from cancer, or been affected by cancer:Jason Mraz - childhood friendGeorge Harrison (Beatle) - died from cancerOlivia Newton John - breast cancerDavid Cook - brother died from cancerKylie Minogue - breast cancerSheryl Crow - breast cancerEric Carr (Kiss) - died from cancerMinnie Ripperton - died from cancerCarl Wilson - died from cancerFrank Zappa - died from cancerMelissa Etheridge - breast cancerBob Marley - died from cancerRod Stewart - thyroid cancerOzzy Osbourne - wife Sharon had colon cancerand many more . . . .

AI am not any sort of professional, but for some reason I know about cancer pretty enough... Maybe somehow this still *little* understanding is lowering my risk of getting this disease by many precautions taken everyday (not all can be made since poison is everywhere and escalating) ... First its important to know and understand your enemy... Basically cancer is always fully a part of your body... Level of this connection is indicating if its removal is lethal or not (like you can figure out if you have just finger to be cut out or its your heart and you are stuck with little hope)... Cancer is yours body cells but just gone mad and acting in danger to your body (some people even wish that their cancer type is just a taint on healthy body)... Cancer is a creation of cells mutation making healthy cell turn into unnaturally multiplying tumour (often spreading in organism by circulation systems like blood and then growing in new body parts)... Sometimes growth is even slow but just in lethal place making organs die from no oxygen, growing pressure or no feeding to healthy essential organ... Everyone body has the defense system to deal with most of the dangers (mainly outside bio and physical damage like viruses and contamination), but this system has the borders of its endurance... and cancer is usually a production of this border crossing (further is only death)... Your body can react to cancer appearance if to speak about little amount of wrongly acting cells (some cancer is even breaking through this though) and here is also a hope for some chemotherapy and radiotherapy patients, but your defense system can fail to overwhelming *attack* (growth)... or you can weaken your defense system for the moment like by using antibiotics or by going through disease or any other same effecting factor (many cancers are just too late in diagnosis) ... Its pretty ironic that two of cancer creating factors are the first and quite effective methods to deal with cancer... Their use came from fact that too much radiation or chems can kill cancer (what could happen to cells at begging instead of their change into cancer if not a balanced dose from factors)... It reminds attempt to chase disease from body by use of fire... in controlled doses (wounding you instead of killing)... Torture of today world (and russian roulette)... Cancer is like parasite born from own body by unfortunate circumstances that turn into horror from fact of unfair battle... Cancer survivors are simply not full winners until their body is fully clear from cancer and their defense system is restored and cancer factors are deleted from life (gaining back weight and body harmony)... Many ands for good eye... and thin line to cross... I guess its a bit hard to track all the understanding of cancer since its actually a base name for a lot of diseases of same nature... I guess the only one way to gain some advantage is to take some precautions seriously before cancer will clutch its hands on our body... Cancer is one of the most difficult dangers to life... I think even worse than AIDS... and ironically... rating in possibility with blindly evolving civilization (since many raised and new factors are coming from new polluting technologies - like most of them).

AI would post a flier in the chemotherapy and radiation wards. I would put some information your mission (so write one) and who it is open to. I have seen at our hospital a teenager support group and a support group for older adults and another for cancer survivorship in general.Each group faces it's own difficulties and challenges. Word gets around, find a place where the meeting can take place and have some refreshments available. Coffee, cookies, ect...I would advertise for a month from the date that you have your flier made. I seen them in every bathroom in both clinics (radiation and chemotherapy wards). I would put them in all oncologists offices by the receptionist desk. ( Surviving cancer patients go in for check-ups all the time). I would have them in every surgeons office that deals with cancer.If your hospital has a resource guide I would put them there, any type of cancer coordinator I would give it to them. I would give it time, and be there for even one person at the advertised time. My wife is finally going to be going to one.

Athe new bill is online. shouldn,t be hard to find it. wading thru the bill may be a challenge. many of the "fixes" don,t take effect until 2014. perhaps a call to your congressman may clear this up. some stuff takes effect immediately.

ABefore you can get any help you need a proper web site and a name and a location.Maybe start there.

AI was in remission for seven years. My cancer is now stage IV and I did have radiation. All treatment now is palliative. I became very depressed and cried a lot. My husband also died just before I found out what was happening to me. I am not hurting. I see my doctors, but I am getting on with my life. I don't want to wait to die. I suppose there could be a problem at some time that I can't get around. I can now and just got back from a wonderful vacation in Costa Rica with a girlfriend.

ARelay For Life!!! Just had ours here in Florida and it was great. There are fundraising ideas they sell on Ebay that i did great with. Wear the cancer ribbon of the cancer that your neighbor has in support of her .
