Metastatic Liver Cancer

Kidney Cancer Burried

My uncle who recently died of kidney cancer just died. He was about 10 years younger than father but he had been fighting another battle: he was given a new organ and he had been taken a cocktail of medicine every day since…
So for all who think: oh great: you can get a new organ [...]

Revamp Metastatic Liver Cancer

Father has been dead now for 90 days and his website has been a mess ever since.
Mom slowly started to get rid of fathers’ old clothes, so time for me to get rid of "father’s old clothes" on this website. First and foremost a clean-up has to be done.
I am going to tackle spam first: [...]

How Hypnosis Helps

This post was originally added May 2007, got deleted and we don’t recall what it was all about.
What we do know is that hypnosis has been used throughout the ages to reduce pain from headaches, surgery pain and pain induced by cancer. We don’t have info that hypnosis could help to treat cancer.

Mom asks for advice (2)

For moms torn ligament "my good plan" is that she rest her shoulder as good as possible. I know that’s easier said than done, as once I had a torn ligament on my wrist, and even opening a stupid door became "to much of an effort". Yet I had no choice, as the other option [...]

Torn ligament

For doctors life is easy: tumor anyone? If it’s benign, "just" cut it out and case closed. Next… Yet there are much more changes after a tumor is cut as you can read at Tumor in the brain, or just use your imagination what happens to a women’s hormones when the ovaries are removed…

What about mom?

Mom was father’s care-taker and now father is no more: the big burden of taking care of father is gone. Yet also this adrenaline that keeps you awake 24hours on 24 and gives you the daily energy to take care of a palliative cancer patient is gone.
No more adrenaline means mom starts feeling the pain. [...]

I am thinking back about my neighbour who died about 20 years ago of lung cancer. We talked about a lot of things as we were friends. We saw each other every day but he never told me he had lung cancer, not even on the day that I visited him in the hospital. I [...]

When you love, you care!

Let me tell you my cancer experience so far:

Years ago my very best neighbour and friend died of lung cancer, yet it didn’t affect me much: people die don’t they?
Father died of metastatic liver cancer and that had a huge impact [...]

When the doctors give up…

The doctors just gave up on our uncle with kidney cancer, now in the hospital in terrible pain due to a broken hip. But what does that mean that doctors give up on you?

with what we know now
with the [...]
