Why is there so little information on Kidney Cancers. I have just lost my wife to this cancer and to be honest i'm finding it so hard to deal with things right now. I have tried looking up for information on this cancer to see if we could have seen it coming or just some help or support groups out there about this cancer. I find it frustrating that there is not much information out there. Anyone else going through this or been through this with a loved one.

Don't know why I am posting this here and I will probably delete it before morning but I just need to verbalise it. I miss her so much. She died in February and not a day goes by when I dont think of her and regret not telling her how much she meant to me.Sometimes I think I will wake up and it will have been a bad dream.I suppose everyone that has lost someone feels that way. I see her family dealing with her death and wonder why I can't talk about her without being in tears. I am so sad tonight and wish so badly that she was here so I could give her a quick buzz or a text. Her childrens lives are changing again next month and that makes me sad for them.They should have their beautiful Mum with them.How do those children deal with the loneliness of not having her there when I find it hard? :cry: :cry: :cry: Love and Miss you D.xxx

Hi, My Dad ahs just been diagnosed with prostate Cancer and they say that it is moderate as they did not catch it early. He has been for an MRI (which he hates as he is very clostraphobic) and thus showed some "hotspots" on his liver -he then had a CT scan that showed lesions on his liver. My Dad is not talking about it and me and my sisters are worried about what this means? Does this mean that he also has cancer in his liver? Ciara

Hi guys! I was 26 when I was diagnosed with bc. Treatment including chemo and radiation followed. Managed fine, was very strong mentally through it. I was advised to get genetic testing done as we have a long familly history. Dianosed with brac1 and decided on bilateral mast with immidiate reconstruction(using lit dors musel). Unfor I'm not very happy with results as the scarring is awful front and back. Breasts look completely diff as the shape of scars dont match(behind cloths they look symetrical).Just got date for nipple reconstruction and I'm very nervous for some reason!! Anyone out there that has gone through this? Do the nippels make the breasts look better and more normal? Thanks greta

Hi everyone, I'm new to this. My Dad was diagnosed with lung cancer 2 weeks ago. Its a substancial tumour at 5cm we were told, but we got a phone call last week saying that they could operate on it. It was the best news we were hoping for. So now he's being admitted tomorrow and they will operate on Thurs. We haven't spoken to the surgeon yet so don't know exactly what it will entail. Have read up about it online here, but was wondering if anyone knew first hand how he will feel after, and what loosely lies ahead for him . He's a young man of 63years, has recently in the last couple of months given up smoking doesn't drink and would be an active man, walks every day and eats well so he is doing everything right. And also if anyone has any ideas of what I can do for him, we are extremly close so want do everything i possibly can. Be great to get some feed back and also hear from people who are going through or gone through it. Oh and keep smiling :)

I'm 36, with 3 young children, just wondering if there is anyone in my area who would like to meet up for herbal teas & chats. Lumpectomy was last week, I feel fine. We're getting results of sentinel node biop tomorrow..fingers crossed. Will be starting chemo in a few weeks time.

did anyone buy this calendar, a friend of mine bought it for me and i was just wondering if everyone had two months of march and no may in 2010. it is lovely with some lovely quotes but no May 2010. The on line shop here on this site is brilliant for gift bags and cards some lovely ones on it, if ye are buying christmas stuff have a look.
