Finding out you or someone that you love has been diagnosed with cancer is to say the very least a devastating blow. It will become not only a hard road emotionally, physically but also financially. This is why you need to find as much cancer information as you can. This may be in the form of advice and support from doctors, counselors, specific cancer organizations, family and friends including other cancer sufferers as well. Talking to people who have been in the same situation as yourself can be an enormous support and also a wonderful source of cancer information can be shared.

Apart from speaking to people in person there are other ways to gain more info about this situation. There are many books that you can read both for the patient and or families and friends. I suppose the easiest way to find out more is on the internet. In the U.S alone there are many websites that are full of relevant cancer information. To start with you have the American Cancer Society. Obviously there are many different cancers so there will be many different informative sources on all of them and you will no doubt be looking for a particular type for your own circumstances. But in the end every one who is suffering from any one of these cancers will still need the same help and support regarding coping stategies and so on.

This is where speaking to people in the same situation will be helpful. There are forums and chat rooms that will give you the opportunity to speak to some of these people. It can be very positive to speak to someone who has gone through what you are and now have fully recovered. Just being able to talk about medications and treatments with someone who really understands can be an amazing therapeutic comfort. You must remember that having this illness does not only affect your physical side but also your mental side and this needs to be looked after as well.

Another good reason to find as much cancer information as possible is to find out other forms of treatments that may be able to help you either on their own or as a combination along side of the usual forms. Usually at this time in someone's life things become very confusing with all the medical jargon as well as all the emotional turmoil and the often draining effects of medication and treatments to be able to think properly. This is when you should be gathering up as much info as you can and just taking your time reading through it so you can get a better picture of what is going on and how to make the best of it.

If you are someone who has a loved one that has been diagnosed with this type of illness then you should be finding out as much as you can to be able to do the right things emotionally to help support this person. You also can read up on their particular condition so you can help answer any questions when they arise. Support from family and friends is a very important part of recovery for someone suffering from cancer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my tibial bone broken?
By: Jeff65109 | 30-08-2008
While playing softball this past Monday, I took a line-drive off my tibial bone (left leg). Anyway, I was looking for ways to know if it's broken without going to the hospital. I can walk on it, yes, but I cannot apply any type of pressure to the affected area. I was running my fingers down my leg and found something odd. It starts off with bone, then there's a soft region that I can actually push in quite deep in lieu of the pain, of course, and then there's bone again. It is possible to walk with a broken bone, I know, so what should I do?

By: John Hannigan | 29-08-2008
marleyI started taking Avodart 4 months ago.Two months ago I started to experience nocturnal incontinence just about every night and many nights I find myself wetting myself 3- 4 times each night. Occasionally I find myself also wetting my pants in the middle of the day without even realizing I'm going (no urgency or feeling I have to go). My doctor doesn't see any connection. I'm not making this up - I never had this problem prior to taking Avodart. Is this just a coincidence or is there a conection between my taking this drug and this new problem? I would appreciate an answer to this. I can be reached via email : dchealth99@aol.com

Post mastectomy
By: Margaret | 29-08-2008
My Double Mastectomy was 1 1/2 years ago. I am still getting seromas on my right chest incision. After 1 year and 11 seromas, my surgeon opened up the area and took out a lot of scar tissue and some fat hoping to help the problem. I have had 4 more seromas open up since then and I can see another one coming. When will this end? The other chest collected fluid and appears like a breast implant.
