Common symptoms include fatigue, pain, weakness, appetite loss, dry mouth, constipation, insomnia, and nausea. These physical symptoms are associated with substantial functional impairment, disability, and diminished quality of life. The study of 405 patients was reported in the Oct. 11 issue of the Archives of Intern...

You eat right. You exercise. There's no way, you think, that you could have cancer. Think again. There are a number of warning signs that women miss each day. Sure, you might just be coming down with the flu, but if the following symptoms persist, you might want to call your doctor. 1) Stomach troubles. You should be on the lookout for stomach or ovarian cancer if you're constantly full, have an upset stomach and experience abdominal bloating or pelvic pain. 2) Flu-like symptoms. Many cancers are linked with persistent coughs and chest pain as well as fevers, infections, swollen lymph nodes, trouble swallowing, shortness of breath, weight loss, weakness and fatigue. 3) Breast ...

Now that she’s YouTubed this account of her 2003 ovarian cancer diagnosis and treatment, she’s not just one of my favorite actresses. She’s my hero. [Ed. note: Headline will be understood by Six Feet Under fans. However, Misery is still the executive summary for Kathy Bates.

Doctors don’t prepare you for the deterioration of the liver cancer patient either….   All the information we got from our GP:   father has 3 to 6 months to live, make sure to focus on "quality of life"  he will get more pain, so you will have to give more painkillers  painkillers make a person constipated, so you will have to monitor that as well and react accordingly   Sounds easy, but reality is far different. And notice, the specialists said nothing about this, although one specialist said:...

I appreciate your kind comments, and I hope that even those of you that were diagnosed a long time ago still find this recollection at very least entertaining, if not helpful. When I stopped on Wednesday, I was making my way out of my first MRI… At that time, I didn’t know a whole lot about the protocol of the medical world (that’s an education I would have gladly gone without). I peeked into the NASA-like control room of the MRI and saw what I assumed were green/white images of my head and neck on a large, flat computer screen. I know I searched to the fullness of my capacity in the mere glance or two I could steal while flirting with the MRI tech (yes, I was still Trevis...

The risk was assed as small, but nonetheless - increased compared to those without diabetes. The research found that the likelihood of developing pancreatic cancer was twice as high in subjects with type 1 or young-onset diabetes as in people without diabetes. This increased risk is similar in magnitude to that seen with type 2 diabetes. There are many theories about the link between diabetes and pancreatic cancer. A cancer-inducing role of the insulin-producing beta-cells in the pancreas, is ruled-out because in type 1 diabetes these cells have largely or e...
