marguicha @marguicha (230350) • Chile 16 Nov 16

Today I went to the doctor in the morning. I had an appointment at 1:30 PM but I have to cross the city and now that I feel better I think it´s not worth it to pay a taxi from my house to the hospital. The doctor found me fine,...

PRASHANT RAJPUT @RADICAL11 (189) • Delhi, India 15 Oct 16

Today I go to Vermont for retests.

writersedge @writersedge (22563) • United States 30 Apr 12

Wish me luck. The best news would be that I'm totally healthy and all bad cells, tumor gone. The next best would be that the two tumors have shrunk. There there are a range of other possibilities from no change to more negative...

Have you lost one through death in your circle of friends or family?

carpediem17 @carpediem17 (1315) • Singapore 7 Aug 10

I have seen death close up a few times - in the extended family. But my earliest memory of death of a friend was a classmate many years ago when I was in my teens or thereabouts - even at that young age I heard she died of a...

Chemo just makes you die a little slower and in more pain

Radicalpatriot @Radicalpatriot (665) • United States 2 Mar 07

Everyone I know who has battled cancer has gotten worse after starting chemotherapy, and died right about the same time as one would if they went untreated. Their lives before death are also a lot more painful and miserable when...

After having cancer how long until you are "cured"?

kyle930 @kyle930 (763) • United States 27 Nov 06

I know that even though the cancer may have been gone for a year it is still considered in remission at what time if any does that change to being cured? Also does the time for this depend on the type of cancer?
