My father has been diagnosed with non-small carcinoma in the right lung. The doctors also found a lesion in the back bone L4 which is reported as neoplastic. A biopsy on the lung tumor was performed and confirme malignancy. On that basis they are presuming that the bone lesion is also a malignant cancer tumor. However, what seems to be strange is that the CT scan results for the rest of the right lung, the left lung, abdomin, intestines, bladder, prostate, pancreas are totally clear. His oncology blood markers are also clear. The bone scan apart from the suspected lesion at L4 is totally clean, and his blood test results are acceptable. His general health conditions are good. He was on a diet, stopped it and gained 3KGS within a span of 10 days. He simply does not show any of the symptoms of a stage IV cancer patient. The doctors said they cannot operate because of the bone lesion. Had it been only in the lungs they would. We are concerned that they might be making the wrong connection

I believe that many men (not all) wear condoms to avoid unwanted pregnancy. Do you think they’d be less likely to wear condoms while on the pill?

Seems that most couples in “committed” relationships don’t use condoms, so if someone cheats everyone’s at risk. Not to mention the fact that very few people get tested before becoming intimate, they instead rely on these false comforts of waiting a certain number of weeks or months to have sex.

My father in law has had prostate cancer for 7 years and it has moved to the spine. He now has 12 tumors in the spine and it has spread to the lymph nodes. His psa was 60 last month and today it was 84. How bad is this and how long is the life expectancy after the cancer is in the lymph nodes?
Chemotherapy is no longer working (hasn’t worked for months) and all other treatments have failed. Now he is going to be given just pain meds. He is 74 and he has diabetes.
Its in the lower lymph nodes only right now.

Could it pass it on during the next bite? Just a curious question

My husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer in April, up to today he have not be given the treatment needed. How long it takes for prostate cancer to spread?
