We got any doctors here? Need help
« on: October 10, 2002, 11:43:33 AM »
Fellas, my mother just got results from an examination, from the results it seems theres cancer present but we do not know for sure. The $#@$ doctor just kept using medical terms my parents didnt understand toejam of and in the end they said "im not telling you that it is cancer" .. or some crap like that.

I have the results scanned from the biopsy samples, if anyone know where I can get this translated into english pls let me know. I can also e-mail it upon request.

my new e-mail :  jalondon@bellsouth.net

thnx

Try PubMed.  

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi

If that doesn't get you what you need send the results to me and I'll see what I can do.  I'm on about eight emergency med lists, and what i don't know someone on the lists will.

better safe than sorry?

Hell if I know. Mom was gonna have her womb removed after menopause hit her anyway.. this whole mess started when she was doing the check-up for it. Its in the womb, so its like taking out 2 birds in 1 stone.

I can stop shaking from the worries now at least... well, partly.. next week will say.

John - benign just means that it's not spreading, it's clearly seperated from the normal tissue and can be removed without leaving any traces behind (granted you have an access).

But it does GROW and can cause secondary effects due to pressure on vital organs etc. And there is always a chance than a benign tumor goes malign some time!

Good luck on the operation and best wishes to your mom!

benign isn't just "it's not spreading".  Class I and II malignant tumors are ones that haven't undergone metastasis.  Benign means that the growth isn't cancerous.
GL to your mom Tac.  My mother had something similar last month, and we were overjoyed to hear it was benign (her sister isn't so lucky :( ).

And you still want it taken out, for a variety of reasons.
