How to support my bf’s sister with breast cancer?
August 3rd, 2010
My bf’s sister was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. She was on hormone treatment to try to become pregnant, which accelerated the cancer’s progression. She was put on an emergency list for her surgery which was done last week. They remove her whole breast and lymph nodes, which were all affected.
She will be undergoing radio therapy and chemotherapy in a month when she is recovered from surgery.
I’m not that close with her because I’m just getting to know my bf’s family. I met his sister only once before her diagnosis but I enjoy her very much and I know how much she means to him. They are close, and I feel really touched by this situation, also because both my grandmothers had breast cancer.
However, it’s very delicate to be getting to know her while she’s going through such an intense experience, and I really want to do everything I can to support her and my bf and their family through this. My bf says I’ve been really helping and supporting him a lot, but having been through this before with my grandmothers, I know what’s coming ahead and more or less what to expect from chemo.
It’s a long road to recovery and I want some advice from other breast cancer survivors about how to be supportive with a person that I don’t know very closely.
Thanks everyone.

June 28th, 2010
My father has just recently been diagnosed with gastrointestinal cancer. It’s in the second or third phase (the test results will show on Friday the progression of the cancer).
So I was wondering if anyone could recommend any (good) websites about herbal, diet supplements that can help him deal with the cancer as well as the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation?

What are some financial support for breast cancer?
May 28th, 2010
My friend is currently going through chemotherapy right now and she is a single mom with a 16 year old son. She has gotten help from CancerCare but she still needs like financial support. She is already on foodstamps and all that. The problem is that she says she applied for a greencard but I have a feeling that she is a illegal resident. Are there any websites that I can recommend to her for financial support?

Diets/Foods for Cancer Patients?
May 19th, 2010
My uncle was diagnosed with Lymphoma, he started his chemotherapy about 2-3 weeks ago, and our family is wondering what kind of diet he should have. Apparently his doctor didn’t give him enough information about what foods and things he should eat, and my aunt isn’t well informed about what to cook at home, etc. Is there a website that we can go to, or anyone that is or knows a cancer patient that can tell us what kind of diets, and foods/meats he should avoid?
