WELCOME TO YOU MOL CANCER FORUM
Here you will meet a wonderful caring group of individuals who
cancering.or loved one and friends being advocates for those
cancering. Individuals in this group are not in the medical professional
field. Therefore,we do not endorse a treatment, drug or product.
Our people combined do have many year's of accumulated knowledge and expierence,
who come from all walks in life and are able to lend tremendous assistance
to help you walk through this journey.
There are a few matters of importance to address.
It is the general assumption of the group that one can use alternative
treatments (with your doctors permission) in conjunction with traditional
therapy.
We feel that an individual who has had testing and is returning
to the doctor should take someone with them as an extra set of ears.
It must be remembered that this is a most stressful time for you.
We also agree that a second or even a third opinion is healthy. One
needs to shop for the right doctor for them; as each of us are so different
not only in personality; but our bodies react differently also.
You should be seeking nothing but the best doctors and hospital,
remember this is your life and you want to be in control. The best
way to be in control is to acquire all the information needed for your
particular cancer; so that you and your doctor can descide the best treatment
for you.
We find stress is our worse enemy, it is so important to remove
yourself from stressful situations and non positive thinkers.
There are so many new drugs and treatments our there for most cancers
that lend all to maintain hope.
Be prepared for you doctors visits with questions. Should
the doctor interrupt you while you are questioning explain that you have
more questions. Make sure the doctor speaks to you in lay terms and
that he is postive also.
Too often the doctor will give a gloomy statistical report, thus
taking the hope away from the patient and we find so many people who far
out live the guess of any doctor. Last; but never least make sure
that you eat healthy and that you keep your ammune system built up.
Again, we are here for you, we are a place of compassionate comfort,
a place you can rant and rave knowing that we too have done that.
A place of shelter; whereas all of us know what your are going through.

>Nancy* Our friend goes for the 5 round next friday 10/7/98.
* The doctors give him TAXOL and CARBOPLATINO.
* The name of his cancer is adenocarcinoma problaby Lung origin. I think
this kind of
cancer is big cell, I am not sure. The doctors give him a paliative
traitment they think
his life is going to be very short.
* He is being traitment in spain, in Galicia. I am trying to find
information in Spain about which medical centers could help him and I want
to know if in Houston, I can
find help.
Thank you and good luck.
