Question by Erica: What are the chances of survival from Lung Cancer?
My mother in law has just found out she has lung cancer and a tumor in her lung. She will be getting surgery to remove the tumor tomorrow. What are the chances of everything being okay? Will she have to take radiation or chemotherapy afterwards? I would like to get input from anyone that has gone thru this experience. She is very scared and was a smoker for 22 years. Any information is more than welcome. Read more...

Question by : How do you deal with your sister having breast cancer in both of her breasts?
My sister has breast cancer in both of her breasts. It is not the kind that gives you lumps. but the masses. It does’t look good. More tests will be done. but how can I deal with the fact that she could be gone in 6 months? My mother had breast cancer but was able to get it before it got her. So more then likely I will get it too. Cancer is so ugly and such a hurtful disease. Don’t know how to deal with it.
I am fully aware that it doesn’t necessarily mean death in 6 months, I just meant that it was a possiblity it could of happened in the near future.
Thanks for all your support and answers.
My sister is going to be okay. She had some more tests run, and she doesn’t have it thank God. She has cystic tumours in both of her breast but they are not cancerous at this point. So all is well, and thanks God she will be okay.
Thanks everyone for you wonderful answers and support at this time of worry. Read more...

Question by Pureinfamy: How long do you have to be around smoke to get lung cancer?
Yeah….how long do you have to “second hand” smoke before you develop lung cancer? I heard it can happen if you’re around a smoker at least one time. And what if you’re also twenty years old? When will the lung cancer be developed then? Is there still a chance of getting lung cancer if you’re riding in the car with all the windows open? Or if you’re in an open space? Read more...
