Why is always particulary breast cancer that people raise money for?
Why is always particulary breast cancer that people raise money for? I mean Tom Green lost his left testical due to cancer, but nobody raises money for testical cancer, or what about lung cancer, stomach cancer, skin cancer, bone cancer, etc etc, but most people only raise money for breats cancer specifically. Makes one wonder, is it all being done out of favortism??? What I mean is, if a women loses her breats thats more important then a man loses his lungs????

if you have colon or rectal cancer do you ALWAYS have thin stools?
if you had colon or rectal cancer, would you ever have normal size, shape and color stools, or would they always be thin. I sometimes have thin stools (not anywhere near as thin as a pencil, but sometimes a little thinner than usual). For the most part, I have the same, normal size stool, but if i ever see that it is a little thinner, i get nervous. any advice? thanks! ..also, I have never seen blood in my stool

How exactly does lung cancer kill? ?
My Mother has had small cell lung cancer for over a year now. The tumor is near her heart. She has had chemo and radiation and was told in October that neither is helping very much and she had only a few months to live.Her voice is hoarse and weak and she coughs to the point of vomiting sometimes but other than that she looks good. She has lost some weight but is still overweight and eats well.
Are there any clinical trials being done that could type and screen cancer samples to specific chemotherapies?
Sort of like how blood is typed and screened. If a patient knew how their cells reacted to a specific regimen, it would save time going down a long list of chemotherapies. If a sample is taken and tested before chemo is scheduled to start, a patient could go right to that specific drug match and benefit. My mother has breast cancer and is on her 3rd drug combo. We keep going down a list of compatible drugs for her cancer type not knowing which will be a good long term match for her.

my dads lung cancer diagnosis?!?
it was discovered that my dad had a cancerous mass blocking an artery that made his face swell up. his doctors told him that he had a good chance of recovery and that the cancer was in its early stages. in august of this year the doctors had told him that he wouldnt need as heavy chemotherapy. so my dad skipped a month of treatment. today his doctors supposedly told him that if he dosent quit smoking his survival would be six months to a year. im soo scared for him! the doctors that put in place his mediport screwed it up and he had a blood clot in his chest. should he go see a second opinion?
