When you are first diagnosed with cancer it is completely normal to feel scared, shock, disbelief, anxiety, guilt, sadness, or anger. Every person copes with cancer in their own way. It is not unusual for cancer patients to wonder "Why has this happened to me?" It is not uncommon for patients to doubt the accuracy of the diagnosis, especially if they don’t feel sick.
Many patients say it is hard to think about anything but their cancer. A cancer diagnosis affects not only the cancer patient, but also their friends and family. It is not uncommon for people to mentally shut down when they first hear they have cancer.
Personal beliefs are a major factor in determining what a cancer diagnoses means to a patient. Many times cancer means facing your own mortality. Accepting a cancer diagnosis and figuring out how cancer will play a role in your life and death can be challenging.
Deciding on a Treatment
Many cancer patients feel very anxious about choosing a treatment. Some have seen friends or family members go through rigorous cancer treatment, and are afraid of experiencing the same pain or suffering. Remember that the treatments for cancer are constantly improving, and every patient responds to treatment differently. If you or someone you love is really terrified of the treatment do some research, or ask your doctor. Often knowledge about the treatment and the cancer really helps to alleviate some fear.
Is Cancer My Fault?
Amanda Before Her Surgery
Some cancer patients feel guilty about not noticing the cancer earlier, or wondering if something they did caused the cancer. They may question their work or home environment. They may worry that their children will inherit the cancer genes.
Telling Everyone About Your Cancer
Many people with cancer wonder who they should tell about their diagnosis and when. It is normal to feel pressure to share your diagnosis, but feel free to wait until you are comfortable. There is no set time when you have to tell others you have cancer.
Cancer Support Groups
Mary Anna, Cancer Survivor
Some people are reluctant to seek counseling, but studies have shown that patients in support groups have lower stress and higher survival rates. Counseling provides emotional support and helps cancer patients better understand their illness. Many organizations and hospitals offer support groups for cancer patients, survivors, and their families. Support groups take many forms, from highly structured monthly group meetings to financial assistance. For more information on support groups in your area see our Cancer Events Calendar or talk with your healthcare provider.
If you do not want to attend a support group, find a family member or friend who will listen to you. Try to avoid people who openly feel sorry for you. Remember you need someone to help you through the hard times, not someone who will remind you how bad they are.
If you are a religious person consider talking with your religious leader. Many religious people find hope and peace in knowing how their cancer fits into the bigger picture. Prayer and meditation have been scientifically proven to help in the healing process.

Hice este traje para mi linda Amelie... un traje rosa de rosa.
Es octubre, mes de la concientización de cáncer y como seguidora y participante de Susan G Komen. Hoy hago un alto para llevar a muchos mi mensaje.
En mayo de este año en una de mis visitas de rutina a mi doctor, este me recomienda hacerme algunos exámenes, y estos fueron muy alarmantes para mi, se había encontrado una masita sospechosa en mis dos senos... mi respiración se corto y llore días y semanas pues después de estas pruebas tuve q hacerme unas 3 mas para salir de duda.
El hallazgo fue de categoría 4 en una escala de 5, o sea, era ya casi inminente que se trataba de cáncer de seno, yo tengo 30 años y este tipo de lesión no es común a esta edad... ya mis ojos no tienen lágrimas y mis nervios estaban al máximo por la espera del diagnostico final me sentía muy sola. Entre exámenes y pruebas ya habían pasado dos meses sin una respuesta.
Siendo una participante de todo lo que tiene que ver con recaudaciones y actividades para las asociaciones de cáncer, fue para mi algo muy abstracto pues siempre me imagine como una cooperadora, mas no como paciente.
Luego de las primeras tres pruebas sin llegar aun a algo definitivo, tuve que pasar por una biopsia, la cual es una operación incisiva y muy dolorosa, se toma parte del tejido sospechoso y se verifica en patología si es negativo o positivo a cáncer.
Dios escucho mis ruegos, los ruegos de mi familia y mis pocos amigos; y la prueba fue negativo, no era cáncer. Dios mío gracias.
Cada día doy gracias a Dios por otra oportunidad de vida y por estar aun en este mundo. Ahora solo tengo que estar en constante monitoreo cada seis meses y cuidarme mucho mas pues soy alto riesgo.
Hoy quiero llevar un mensaje... dile a tu mama, hermana, tía, vecina o cualquier mujer que ames de mas de 40; o menor de 40 pero que tenga familiares con historial de cáncer que visite a su medico y que NO deje de hacerse la mamografía una vez al año.
"El cáncer siempre esta entre nosotros, ha sido el que se ha llevado a nuestros seres queridos y amigos... estar prevenidos y consiente es la clave, cuídense mucho, no olviden el lacito rosa y cooperar, nunca se sabe cuan cerca nos puede tocar". Juntos seguiremos luchando por encontrar una cura.

Pleural mesothelioma is a malignant neoplasm of the pleura, strongly associated with occupational exposure to asbestos (or asbestos).
Most common pleural mesothelioma symptoms
Asbestos fibers are extremely thin and penetrate through the respiratory tract. At the level of the pulmonary alveoli, the inhaled particles trigger an immune response: the macrophages absorb these foreign bodies and release local cytokines and growth factors that stimulate an inflammatory reaction. This leads to the deposition of collagen and, finally, to interstitial fibrosis (asbestosis).
Asbestos fibers may also exert a direct toxic and indirectly mutagenic effect on the pleura and pulmonary tissue. The time between exposure to asbestos and the appearance of mesothelioma can be very long, in the order of a few decades.
Other factors that may predispose to the development of this neoplasm are some genetic alterations, chest irradiation and previous pulmonary infections (especially those sustained by the SV40 virus).
Further information
Mesothelioma can grow locally or metastasize to lymph nodes, heart, peritoneum, liver, and kidney. At the onset, the symptoms are rare. As the disease progresses, dyspnoea and chest pain appear, and a nodular thickening of the pleura is found. Invasion of the chest wall and involvement of neighboring structures may result in a persistent cough, fever, weight loss, sweating, hoarseness, dysphagia, paralysis of the vocal cords, abdominal pain and ascites. In most cases, there are deposits in the space between the two pleural sheets, typically monolateral, large and hemorrhagic.
Long-term survival is rare.
The assessment of mesothelioma involves a thorough medical history, with particular attention to occupational exposure to asbestos fibers, a complete physical examination and chest radiography.
Often, this tumor is difficult to diagnose and usually requires a pleural biopsy or cytological examination of the pleural fluid. Staging is performed with a chest CT scan, mediastinoscopy, and magnetic resonance imaging.
Unfortunately, pleural mesothelioma is a very aggressive malignant tumor: surgical and chemotherapeutic options have limited benefits and often do not significantly prolong survival. The main goals of therapy are pain relief and pleural effusion dyspnea by pleurodesis or pleurectomy. If the neoplasm is at an early stage, surgical resection of the tumor mass may be attempted.

Look at how good she looks! I'm so happy. We spent the day together and it was just so good to see her feeling better. She'll get six more treatments (or six more months?) of chemo and then we'll have another report.

Baby boy's eye cancer spotted after he is snapped with mother's camera phone
By Daily Mail Reporter
07th May 2009
This is the family picture that may have saved the sight of an eight-month-old boy.
Thomas Hale has a rare form of cancer, which was diagnosed after his mother took a picture of him on her new camera phone.
The glare from the camera revealed light sensitive cells in the youngster's eye which could not be seen in face-to-face contact.
His mother Elizabeth, 32, said: 'To look at him before you would never have seen anything was wrong. His vision was fine and he was just like any other happy, smiling eight-month-old.
Thomas Hale who has rare eye cancer
This is the family photo of Thomas Hale that could have saved his eyesight. His mother Elizabeth snapped him on her mobile phone
'On March 4, I got a new camera phone and was playing around and taking photographs of the children.
'The first picture of Thomas looked unusual so I took a few more and his eyes on them all looked different.'
After speaking to her sister who is a nurse, Elizabeth and her husband Neil took him to their GP who referred Thomas to Consultant Ophthalmologist Antonio Aguirre at Huddersfield Royal Infirmary.
Mr Aguirre confirmed Thomas had the rare form of eye cancer retinoblastoma, which affects 50 children under the age of five each year.
Thomas has four tumours, one in his left eye which reflects back on the camera while the other three are in his right eye.
Day forty-nine/365. That staff would donate money, and share the solidarity of wearing blue jeans on a Friday, so that a drop could be placed in the bucket of resources needed to fight breast cancer, is commendable. For someone to imagine, design, and assemble this poster about the effort, makes it even more special.
I hope the effort has enjoyed some success in raising funds, increasing awareness, and encouraging the women -- and men -- who go through the dreaded experience.
Thankfully, breast cancer has not touched my family. But, I've shared the journey, in some small way, with many people whose lives it has changed. Many thanks to those who have expressed love in the way that these staff members did today.
