Cancer Stages

Posts Tagged ‘Brain’

there has been talk that a very close friend is supposedly in third stage of brain cancer.
If this were true, would they still be able to attend school, go to work and join the Marines?

To me, I dont know much about brain cancer, but if its in the 3rd stage…and fourth stage the rate of staying alive is very rare. Wouldnt they have to be going to the hospital or clinic weekly mabey? It doesnt make since…i dont think marines would let them be there if that was an illness right?
to “sidekick ya face”: its not so much that friend said something…more or less someone who may like him…its stupid i know. but its just nice to have some back up on this…he wouldnt be able to join marines so i dont think its very possible…thank you guys!

This is small cell carcinoma.
Thank you. God Bless you and your work. The website helped, too.

can they be in a condition without any sickness or getting bedridden if the doctor has specified some last date
she is very much healthy right now…..without any sickness or getting bedridden, though the doctor has specified only few days to live and the date has passed on too..its almost like a month before the deadline has been specified?IS that possible?Do they hv symptom of vomitings in their last stage?

why does bad things happen to good people ,,,, How long do you think we have to celebrate his life?

My brother was just diagnosed with brain cancer. He is 55 years old. The tumor was removed on Wednesday. We do know it is malignant, but do not yet know the stage. His CT scan and MRI came back clear, however the doctor said he would still require radiation and chemotherapy. I have read some very negative prognosis for brain cancer and that is why I am asking for others to tell me what they have experienced. Please be truthful, even if the outcome is negative.

My mom has stage 5 brain cancer. She has had 2 seizures, cant drive anymore, cant remember anything, doesnt know if its daytime or nighttime, and it just gets worse everyday. I am 15 years old and a sophomore in hs…i honestly dont know what to do anymore. my parents are divorced and my dad is a dousche so hes no help. i have brothers and sisters but only one lives with my mom and i and the other 2 are in a dif. state. my sister who lives with us is only 24 and i feel terrible becasue she is sacraficing living her life to take car eof my mom and i and i cant stand that she has to do that. i feel so useless and helpless. i dont know what to do anymore. im so mad all the time because, being a teen, i get mad at my mom, being a teen girl, i get even more mad at my mom. then after getting mad at my mom, i get mad at myself for spending what little time i have lef twith her mad. then i jst start crying. all i feel lately is mad, sick, tired, so angry, scared, useless, helpless, alone, and it just gets worse everyday. i hate this feeling and i know my mom is going to die, its jsut a matter of when. i also feel like im losing so much because my mom will probably never see me graduate hs, or college, or get married or have kids. im jealous of my brothers and sisters who got to grow up with a fully functional mother. i just dont know what to do anymore. i love my mom so much and im really scared.
sorry i meant stage 4 glioblastoma multiforme. its dark and i cant see the numbers on my keyboard haha…
im also not religious so i dont go to church or anything. my mom was on chemo by pill when she first got sick in 07. she had her first seizure early 08, then about 7months later she had another one, and she was about to ask the doctor if she could drive again. turns out the tumors came back. she originally had surgery to remove the tumors. this time shes doing the iv chemo. this is going to sound terrible but sometimes i feel like it would be easier if she just died. i dont want her to at all. i love my mom more than anything, but i just dont want her to be in pain all the time. she used to do EVERYTHING. and now she cant do anything, so i feel terrible becasue she must feel useless too. my mom doesnt open up to me though, so if i try to talk to her about it she kindof blows me off. i am just really frustrated

when you have brain cancer/tumor, how many stages are there? and if you are on your final stage, how much time do you have left? could it possibly kill you within 1 month? what kind of pains would you have? what are some symptoms? & lastly, could it happen to somebody who is 20 years old?

please don’t answer if you have something stupid to say.
this isnt about me, i needed this info to write a story for my drama class.

my gran has been diagnosed with ovarian cancer, which has spread to liver, lung and brain, she is not been given any treatment and is being kept comfortable. Could anyone advise on what we can expect, i really don’t want her to suffer.

He is throwing up, can’t talk. Please tell me if there is something can be done. What can be done? What does it mean if its on last stage. How long can he live more? He is my mom’s brother and its very sad to see him suffering. Anyone knows if he can still survive and if something can be done. IS there no treatment for it??
