Nearly 40% of people will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lives, and even more of us will be affected by it indirectly, be it through friends or family. Whether you have cancer yourself, or someone close to you does, it can be an incredibly difficult thing to go through, especially if you don't have anyone around you that fully understands what you're dealing with.
So whether you want to talk, advise, or even just vent, this thread is here as a channel to discuss things in, and to find support if you need it.

This is a great idea 
My mum has been diagnosed with cancer twice in the last two years (different ones). She's currently in hospital recovering from a stem cell donation for leukaemia, which she got diagnosed with last May

That's such a horrible situation, especially for it to have happened twice in such a short space of time. Is her recovery going well so far?

This is an excellent idea!
My mum was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015 (and beat it, she's still in remission although she still takes medication for it). Around if anyone needs to talk.

If you don't mind me asking, what treatment did she have?
Glad to hear she's in remission

). But she's mostly OK now apart from getting pretty severe cold urticaria from the tamoxifen (which is a problem with this weather!).

Really sorry to hear if you’re going through this yourself - have you had any treatment for it?

What's the outlook like, can it be treated fully again?

I feel as if these cancer research charitys do not do any were near enough to prevent it never mind cure it. Studies have proven that cancer is linked to what you eat such as: breast cancer = drinking cows milk, prostate and ovarian cancer = eating processed meat + eggs, no need for a cure when you can prevent it all together no disrespect to any people who have had to go through dealing with cancer or family members with it, my grandad has had a few prostate cancer scares, luckily enough it wasn't cancer but he had to go through his wife dying from cancer due to smoking. Preventation is the cure and food the medicine.

I'm really glad to hear you're all clear - do you have to have any further treatment, or just checkups from now on?
