i was diagnosed with cancer of the base of my tongue last year.when i was told it was like time had stood still.even worse was seeing the devastated look on my husbands face when the surgeon told him.then we had to tell the kids which was awful.at first i was so scared but only my husband knew how i felt.i decided i was going to beat it and had chemo and radiotherapy.although i am now in remission it has left me with some problems.i have no saliva i have no taste buds.i cant eat and have a tube in my stomach which feeds me a liquid diet through the night.i also have mrsa where the tube goes into my stomach but at least i am alive.

You hit the Mother Lode with my family. My 6 year old brother died from leukemia in 1963. When my mother was 40, she had cervical cancer, 6 months later, colon-rectal cancer, this was followed by cancer of the spleen, and then non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. She didn't die from cancer. As a result, Since I was 40, I get check ups every 3 years for colon-rectal cancer. I have had pre-cancer polyps removed every time. I try to eat a high fiber, low fat diet. It's in the gene pool.
PS I have spared you my mother's 5 siblings' cancer. YUK!

Just me is all I know of in my family. I am 55 and had double mastectomy and cancer in some lymph nodes. I did not want to worry my son about this (he works at a state prison) because I did not want him to be worrying about his mom going through chemo and radiation while guarding murders and rapists.
I just wore a wig the time I had no hair from chemo, and he did not notice at all.
My older son was killed at work 11 years ago, and my son has no other siblings, so he just did not need this extra worry, maybe I will be ok.
God bless you, I am so so sorry that this happened with your parents. Wish I could give you a hug.

I had cancer. Finished treatment for it a couple of months ago. Because I had it a young age, and it's rare to get it at my age, doctors think it may be genetic. So I'm waiting for the results of that to come back. I'm so scared my parents or my brothers will have to go through what I went through. It is a horrible disease, and no one deserves to suffer from it.

both my mother ,daughter and sister died of the big C
just live life for them .
i don't know what kind of cancer it was but you make sure you have regular checkups so much can be done if it is caught early.
good luck have a good life

I'm so very sorry about your Mum and Dad dying. My Mum had cancer, three of her sisters (my Aunts) had cancer. I have two friends who've had bowel cancer. I had breast cancer in 1985, but nothing's missing (only the cancer). You could say it runs in the family but many people had cancer where I used to live. Lots of people have had or died from cancer in this area, where I've lived since 1976. So you could say it's an environmental issue too. I'm one of the lucky ones who survived, and I gave some of my blood about 5 years ago to be used for research purposes. I like to think it's helped in the development of the vaccine against cervical cancer. If it was standing before me right now I'd give it the radiotherapy and chemotherapy some people have to suffer, only I'd overdose it.

My Grandma died of cancer. I guess it's just one of those things. But we can't be angry about things, we have to remember the good times that we spent with our loved ones.
Bob
I also lost both my parents, and my older sister, to cancer. I don't think so much about the cancer as I do about my loved ones not being here any longer. I miss them so much.

Yes, my mom died of lung cancer and it was terrible. I don't know how to kill cancer, or kill the cause, or cure anyone at all. It was 3 years ago, and I still cry.

My aunt died of a brain tumor when I was little, my friend has skin cancer, and my mom had a tumor on her spine...
Sorry about your losses. If cancer were in front of me, I'd probably do the same thing.
