These snippets show some of the most common themes mentioned in this experience's stories:
- "I had to sign my divorce papers on Christmas eve and have surgery the day after Christmas, then I had three weeks of radiation therapy..."
- "Now i understand I'll probably need treatment for it but i have read more than once that although chemo or radiotherapy kills the cancer, that it also kills healthy cells and can have horrendous long term side effects..."
- "Followed by the news that my mother has stage 4 breast cancer..."

Here are a few tips...
- Prostate radiation goes well--29 days to go..The ESRD lasts a-whole lot longer--Peace to all
- Having prostrate cancer is a piece-o-cake to having ESRD. I got both--Be tough people there is a light at the end of the treatment--Strength in the mind is my way--Try New Age music to relax and meditate and simple prayers for others---

Cancer /ˈkænsə(r)/ ( listen) (medical term: malignant neoplasm) is a class of diseases in which a group of cells display uncontrolled growth (division beyond the normal limits), invasion (intrusion on and destruction of adjacent tissues), and sometimes metastasis (spread to other locations in the body via lymph or blood). These three malignant properties of cancers differentiate them from benign tumors, which are self-limited, and do not invade or metastasize. Most cancers form a tumor but some, like leukemia, do not. The branch of medicine concerned with the study, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of cancer is oncology.
