Those are real good news Den

So good to hear such positive news Den, keep up the fight and march on with banners blazon your an inspiration to all.

Hi all, just take a deep look at this thread and I would like to share some words with all.

Few years ago, I lost my mother for Cancer. It's was the worst time in my life. For me, for my soons, for my brothers, for all family and friends. None people are prepared to lost beloved relatives. Is very sad, very painful, very hard for us.

But, we are gladed to received the blessing to have my mother for more 8 years, after discovery her brest cancer. That time change our lifes forever, once it was the time that she stay with Cancer in your life and herlp us get forces to face the challenge of lost she, and learned us what we need to do to avoid this issue in ours lifes. Treat after treat, she resisted and go ahead again. For us each victory was a hope. And despite of the cancer became more and more dangerous and pick parts from her body, part aftaer part, day fater day, my mother spent her last 8 years, educating all soons, grandsoons, friends, and anyone that met her, about Cancer, mainly about how to prevent it and how numan being need face it when raise.

And in this way I and my brothers felt lucky for have more time with our mother. Each day that she survived and stayed with us, was a huge victory and conquest for all of us. Each problem solved was a great reason to comemorate with her.

Unfortunatelly this disease is ingrate and destructive in many ways, and in many cases growth up very quickly, it depends on many personal aspects of biology and kind of cancer. Prevention is the bether way to avoid it.

We cryed a lot when mother Celena died, but we learned a lot with her fight and spirit presence. And if will depend just from us, Cancer no more will hit anyone in our family.

Best Regards and a collection of for all. Giba.

Why do I crunch? I was diagnosed five years ago and my oncologist didn't think I would make it, but all of the cutting edge treatments must have helped since it hasn't reared its ugly little head again, so this is part of the way I pay back. I do a lot of other things, but this is something relatively cost free and easy.

There is a great deal to do to improve cancer treatments. My first chemo was much more effective at almost killing me than killing my cancer, so any project that tries to match treatments to patients is important. Everyone would benefit because patients would only get medicines that had a reasonable chance of working for them.

Also, I have seen alot of good people not make it. Even though many do make it, the losses are still upsetting. Because I spent over a year going to the chemo ward, first for chemo and then herceptin, I know how nasty some of treatments are and that more humane treatments are needed.
