Edited on Mon Sep-24-07 08:40 PM by Mike03
Someone in my family was just diagnosed. It would be comforting to communicate with someone with this condition, to get advice, etc... I understand this is a heavy topic for the lounge, but I saw others posting about very serious health issues. Any help or contact would be appreciated. I tried to contact some support organizations, but they have pretty much ignored me.
Thanks.

Her illness was complicated by the fact that she waited so long to actually get some treatment. I think if your family member gets treatment early, it has a better prognosis. I also had a good friend whose brother had it.
I also know that Geraldine Ferraro has had it for quite a long time and that seems encouraging. i was told that sometimes people can have it for a long time and not know that they have it. It also seems that there are a lot of cancer researchers and others working very hard to treat it and find some ways to work better with it.
