there may be a cure, but dont count on it. Its more profitable for drug companies/doctors/hospitals etc. if cancer is never cured

Chemotherapy best option. Though even if they did find a true cure, prices would be astronomical. Sucks big time. But regardless, the right attitude goes a long way.

That's how I feel about cancer (my mom died of complications related to lymphoma back in August) and Alzheimer's (lost a grandma and an uncle and am currently losing an aunt and another uncle to it).

They aren't even going to do chemo, because his billirubin(sp?) levels are too high. What sucks is that he is uber rich and actually could afford it. I know that having that right attitude is important, but I can't help but cry and cry and cry and cry. Shit sucks

That seriously sucks man. I meant to refer to your Uncles attitude, if hes a fighter... But damn, he cant do chemo is bullshit. Only defense is his own immune system. Is there no other treatment?They aren't even going to do chemo, because his billirubin(sp?) levels are too high. What sucks is that he is uber rich and actually could afford it.

Sorry to hear the news. I wish i had more details for you but there is some good news on cancer research. When i visited FL last week, i told a friend of mine that i wanted to give blood before i leave. Her and I usually gave blood together. Then she told me she couldnt because she gave blood recently for this cancer research at FAU and that they are really getting close to something. I guess something legit is in the works but IDK. I completely forgot to look up all the info on it.
I know this doesnt help you right now but it at least gives some people hope moving forward. We are making progress....

Power is knowledge for fighting a cancer. Both of aunt have cancer also. They have ovarine and breast cancer. They have good spirit to fight it always. Most of my family have gene for breast cancer and it is herditary gene in our family.
I have gene for developing a breast cancer, but I don't have cancer yet. You tested your family to check if you have gene for developing. I wear this blue and bink on my arm. There is website: National nonprofit organization devoted to hereditary breast and ovarian cancer - FORCE - Facing Our Risk of Cancer Empowered. Their website promotes that force empowered.
I will pray for you and your family. Be strong!!!

Very sorry to hear that. Cancer has been real shitty to your family. I gotta admit it's one of my biggest fears.
How many times have we read "scientists found a cure for cancer" and year after year there's no real cure out there. Kinda disturbing.

Not if those Billirubin levels don't go down... they are saying that he has a few weeks left. It's just so fucked up, because I was out there this summer and he went to the doctor, who told him he was "supposed" to live to be 112 and he probably won't even make it another year.
Thanks everything for your thoughts and prayers.

You have good support from CCS family. Your uncle wants you to be strong for him. My aunts told me that I am stronger person to face the cancer. I don't want you to be sad if I died from it.

Just talked to my uncle and aunt on the phone about an hour ago. First time I have heard either of them cry. It is such a weird thing...
He goes in for blood work tomorrow to see if his billirubin levels are down or not.ray:

Cancer does indeed, suck. I've lost two uncles to cancer, and a friend of mine lost his sister to cancer when we were younger.
For the past five years I've been participating in St. Baldrick's. The school I currently work for has raised over $44,000 over the past two years.

Damn. Unfortunately thats how it tends to go. One minute fine, next minute your ill. Its really fucked up. Hopefully those levels go down, and chemo, which is hard as it is, can reverse the situation. Survivors have one thing in common tho, they refused to lay down. Its really a shame how we can cure bullshit and research trivial shit, but not focus more on the shit that kills so many every year. Then again, there are so many damn forms. Do you know what type they said hes got?
