I took my 15 month old baby to the doctor and she got two shots. After her shots the doctor said that she shouldn’t be around anyone with cancer or who is taking chemotherapy. My mother-in-law is curently taking chemotherapy but she doesn’t have cancer she has lupus. I need to know if she can be around her or not and what will happen if she does go around her thanks.

i know you can die, i know you loose hair sometimes, i know you need chemotherapy. but do you need kidney transplant? or any other transplant? i also want to know, what transplant could kill the doner? if that makes sense, i’m writing this story and i need help on these things, i don’t know much about cancer. i can’t find anything that gives me info. on what i want. help anyone?

I know someone who claims they there were born with cervical cancer and went through chemotherapy, but she had 4 kids already. is this possible?

I mean, someone I know was diagnosed with cancer and chemotherapy doesn’t work, so the doctor said he’ll use steroids to see the results, anyone can tell me why?

My son-in-law, 47 years old, was just diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer, and is presently experiencing chemotherapy. In general, his wife is wondering if a life insurance for cancer victims is a possibility. He was given 6 months to one year to live. It has metasized to the liver and lung.

In the US, chemotherapy for Children with Lymphoma (cancer of the lymphatic system) is ruled by a judge as mandatory. How many survive? What are the statistics?

1. If a male’s mother had breast cancer, does this increase his risk of getting any type of cancer?

2. If someone underwent chemotherapy and radiation for chemotherapy and survives, and is also in remission and never has cancer again, will their experience with cancer and cancer treatment shorten their life span?

3. What is the likelihood of someone’s breast cancer relapsing if they successfully underwent chemotherapy and radiation for it?

Thanks for your help.
Thank you for the extremely helpful response, and I’m happy to hear that you have NED.

Cancer Update from John Hopkins
1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment , it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.
2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person’s lifetime
3. When the person’s immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.
10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.
11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.

THERE ARE TOTAL 11 POINTS IN THESE UPDATE AND CAN NOT POSTED DUE TO LIMITATIONS OF Y! Q&A.
I would be obliged if experts in Y! Q&A can comment on the truthfulness or otherwise of these discoveries or inventions of John Hopkins, an eminent cancer institute of USA.

I would be further obliged for links on further readings and update on these issues.

I am going to be starting chemo treatment next and I have read that some chemotherapy drugs can cause additional cancers later(especially the kind that has been prescribed for me to take). This really terrifies me alot. Whether I don’t take it, it can come back and whether I do take it, it can come back. It seems like no matter what decision I make I am still at risk for cancer coming back. What should I do?
And serious answers only please. We are talking about my health here.

Have you know anyone undergoing chemotherapy treatment for brain cancer specifically and going to college. If you have examples that would be good. How where their/your grades, motivation, etc.?

I am also talking about college or university, not exactly high school.
