"Niece Diagnosed With Cancer"
 
I received a a call that my niece is in the hospital she is 19. She has cancer in her chest, spine, and is getting kemo therapy. Also, a cyst in her lung and spline,

Her family on her mothers side arrived from El Salvador to be with her. Hospitals don't give out a lot of information, but cancer is spreading quickly.

Being 19 this is horrific to me. She felt a lump under her arm and went to the hospital and now they found all this out.

What, are the chances for a full recovery?

I know there are Doctors on RB... Any Advice would be helpful as I just taught her to drive recently and this is heart breaking as she is so young.

   Unusual at her age, but what you're describing is termed widespread metastatic cancer or stage four.

Almost always incurable, but need to know the tissue diagnosis, that is what does the tissue resemble under the microscope. From where was the primary site, or in other words, from what tissue or organ did the cancer start ? Was the word "sarcoma" used ? What did her bone marrow biopsy reveal ?

Its hard to communicate with her as she has kemo therapy everyday last week according to the Aunt. I will be seeing her this week when she returns home.

Everything I typed is all I know. The only thing I know so far was that she was taken to the hospital after she felt a lump after her arm pit area...

I will call there today, and see if the aunt can tell me more. Spanish is the main language spoken in the home although they speak English.

Since my brother is her father is there something I could do to donate bone marrow or anything?

I have lived a full life and would trade places with her if I could.

Please check you in box, as I prefer not to share the entire situation on the boards.xoox

"Sorry I don't have RB friends. I don't call anyone a friend unless they have truly earned it.... I don't hang out with anyone on here, and sure as hell don't share anything in my real life with on here with anyone.... Like someone once said on RB a secret is only good if only two people know it and one is dead."

So, are you sharing something from your real life or not?

Perhaps the need for privacy/secrecy in this situation is being overshadowed by the need to gain some information in what must be a traumatic experience.

The things one says in one situation and set of circumstances are often contradictory what one says in a different situation and set of circumstances.
Numerous are the times when one yells, “I hate you and never want to see you again” to be followed at some other time with, “darling I love you.”
I would hate to have to eat all the words that I’ve uttered in anger and frustration.

Too much sex is still not enough

Farrah, you can call me anytime even if it's already late my time East coast! I lost my Uncle on May 30th to cancer.

I also lost my second cousin last week to cancer, she was 54, not so old! All of these people dying on me since my East coast vacation started 2 months ago. I'm as horrified as you are. Hang in there! <3

Have a Decadent Dianne Day

Thanks Dianne, your sweet. A child should never have to experience this at such a young age.

Yesterday, I slept most of the day... I pray she makes it as if I have to attend a funeral for such a young girl that will be take a big toll on me.

I just wish there was more research to know why people get so many different types of cancer.

Sorry ot hear about you Unlcle.... The older one gets it appears the more sick people we encounter and funerals to attend.

I don't like discussing too much on the boards about stuff like this so I will call...

Love ya stay safe where your at. Your so blessed to be able to see so many awesome places.

I think you look awesome with short hair. xoxo

   Farrah, I just want to say that it shows what a good heart you have for being there for your neice. I'm sure she has a good medical team fighting for her and when these doctors have such a young person with this terrible cancer they work even harder to cure her.

Having been there myself, the best thing you can do is support the family by being there for them. It means a great deal for them in this tough time. They need to stay strong and keep a positive frame of mind.

We all hope this young lady can beat this cancer.

Children are the true innocents of the world. There is nothing worse than watching a child suffer, particularly for no reason. Fate is cruel. Life just happens and isn't fair. My heart goes out to your niece, her family and you.

DecadentDianne, I'm fine and your a sweet lady... I'm just baffled why so many people keep getting Cancer and we can't seem to find a cure for it...

Cancer takes so many lives each year, and the Chemo Therapy is awful that people have to go through...

When people experience things like this close to home, it really shows you how special each day is and also makes a person realize that at any given time life can be taken from us.

Stay sweet and funny as your posts on the boards are funnier then anything.

I came home the other day and read soap box and was cracking up at some of your posts.

To all of you in this thread thanks for your comments. I appreciated all the kind words.

Also, thanks to the mods in this forum for having a forum like this, where we can ask questions, and share experiences.

"Cancer" is the generic name for different types of uncontrolled cell growth and mutation. There are many cancer causes, both known and unknown. It is like saying a cold is one disease. It's actually a common name for symptoms caused by different viruses.

Even knowing what causes cancer doesn't mean that it is easy to find a way to treat it. To do that, we would have to find a way to control and/or reverse the growth process of the tumors. Progress has been made, but we have a long way to go.

While we like to think that we have mastered almost all there is to know about science and medicine, in truth we are still in our infancy in both fields. We can't even eliminate back pain, which should be a much simpler process than trying to cure cancer.

Excellent post, as always, Elfen. But some cases of back pain can be cured. Example: a single herniated disk and a single nerve root impingement without any bony spinal disease.

Exquisitely radiosensitive metastatic cancers, such as seminoma, can also be cured.

Thanks, Marcus. You're right: a single disc herniation can be cured with a well-performed surgery and a patient motivated to recover fully. I did not mean to imply that back was never eliminated. All I meant was that back pain is a persistent problem, often multifactorial. If I could develop a cure for all back pain, I would end up wealthier than Bill Gates.

I am sending my thoughts and prayers to your niece and all of her family. I had a younger sister misdiagnosed with hemorrhoids when it was actually rectal cancer. By the time the doctors discovered it was cancer it had advanced. She did the chemo and all the other treatments. Unfortunately she was not able to live to see her 29th birthday. Luckily she was able to spend her last few weeks at home with our parents.

   The silver lining in getting that sick that young is that a young person is more equipped to fight back. That said, it sounds far along and you should prepare yourself for her death.

19 to me is still a child and that would be horrific. I'm still dealing with attending a funeral of my Best Friends Mom who passed away this past year and she was like my second mom, they had an open casket and I'm slowly getting over the site of it and stuff.

I have faith she will make it, but if not then I will have to deal with what comes my way, I have no other choice but to deal with it....

I can't think that way as she is far too young... In months to come I will keep you posted if anything changes. To all of you that posted links, commented and contributed to this thread thank you.

It shows a lot of class when you can take time out to type a short note or give advice even if its hard to read at times.

God Bless,
Farrah

I am so sorry to hear this Farrah. It all depends on how great her health was before. My young brother was diagnosed with cancer as a baby. I will keep your family in my prayers as I know the stress level this can cause.
