A friend of mine got got cancer in her neck, was told it was secondary as it was in her glands, never got the first stage cancer, she is 4 years in remission.
I feel like we're so advanced as humans, but still so young too. We haven't made enough scientific progress in so many areas dealing with the human body. I hope one day we discover the cure to cancer. šš¼
My mother had a bad mole. She went through radiation treatment for it. During a followup her oncologist saw a small spot on her lung & told her it was more than likely scar tissue. 2 months later we found out it wasn't scar tissue. The cancer traveled from her lung to her brain. She was only 36 when we lost her š„ŗš
It's great you're spreading awareness of the importance of early detection. Thank you
The complexity of cancer, at the cellular and genetic level, is one reason why we havenāt yet beaten cancer. Cancer isnāt one disease, itās a collection of diseases described by āaggressive profusion and migration of undifferentiated cellsā. There are tens of different breast cancers alone, and each behaves differently in individual humans and at different levels of diagnosis. Weāre still a lonnnng way from prevention and curing cancer. May as well wonder why everything in the body works as well as it does!
My mother was diagnosed in the 80s with breast cancer which metastasized to lymph nodes/brain/bronchus and back to lymph nodes and was treated successfully with surgery and not so successfully with chemo since it wasnt tolerated well. Radiation wasnt used because they thought āthey got it allā. They did irradiate the bronchus tumor. Saw a second oncologist who discovered it had traveled to her liver and recommended heavy metal chemo but ran out of opportunity because after 5 years of suffering ironically she died from not metastatic breast cancer but primary esophageal cancer that had spread throughout her mediastinum and ultimately ate thru her aorta. This of a patient who never had smoked in her 59 yrs but lived with my father who did. I dont think the doctors believed she wasnāt a smoker.
My sister in law went to doctors. Found stage 4 cancer in breasts.. less than month later she passed away because it went to liver. She was very very yellow. It was so fast and sad
But they also die from all the healthy cells being killed off by the chemo and radiation treatments.. and unfortunately the biopsy starts that metastases process at times as well.
Amazing. And with all of us cancer survivors, how many of us will live forever? Seems there is an agreed upon age where people can say "I win, now it's ok to relax and progress". But no one is putting that age out there to be agreed upon.
I sow how it spread on my mother other parts from breast to her lymphs it was so horrific
What about neuroendocrine tumors? I have prostate cancer, low-grade pancreatic cancer, and I have a typical Carcinoid tumor in the hilar region of the lung.
Heartbreaking šš¢
Iām wondering in a short period of time if A. I. Ends up figuring cancer out for us
Thank you for the information, as always.
Itās very interesting to notice the role of thought for patient care; Hospitalists are in thought of āpt survivalā and Nursing is focused on āpt thriveā and recovery outcomes. Interesting.
If the cancer does spread to the liver can they cut that part out if it's not too big since the liver can regenerate?
Love your humour and sarcasm, carry on
āWe can remove a testicle.ā Can I give a āhard noā on that?
Cancer will never be cured. š¢
