Title: Re: cancer Post by: Layne Staley's Sunglasses on January 02, 2007, 06:34:41 PM Well, I had never heard that, but with obesity...it's not all that far-fetched.
Title: Re: cancer Post by: the dirt on January 02, 2007, 06:36:21 PM Rod Roddy had breast cancer.? :no: (The late, great Price is Right announcer.) Wow, really? He was great. I'm assuming he died from it? Title: Re: cancer Post by: Layne Staley's Sunglasses on January 02, 2007, 06:37:54 PM He had 2 other types of cancer as well. I think prostate cancer was the other one, the third I'm not too sure of.

Don't let yourself get too worried, that won't do you any good. I'm sure you'll find a good dr., and everything will probably be fine. But even if the news is not what you want to hear, it doesn't mean it's the end of the world. You wouldn't be the first, nor the last person to beat it. : ok: Title: Re: cancer Post by: horsey on January 05, 2007, 09:52:26 PM thanks.i sat crying lastnight drunk.it wasn't pretty believe me.just lisening to van morrison and doing shots of vodka.but today seem a little more better thinking.like you are right people do beat it.if it what it is.
Title: Re: cancer Post by: Jessica on January 05, 2007, 10:34:17 PM the hpv virus is the number one cause of breast cancer in women. And in testicular cancer in men.
Title: Re: cancer Post by: mlewis on January 07, 2007, 08:14:29 PM the hpv virus is the number one cause of breast cancer in women. And in testicular cancer in men. No it's not. That's cervical cancer you're thinking of. Men can certainly get breast cancer- 1 in 100 cases are in men. The scandalous thing is these men are essentially left to die- it's assumed to be a female issue, so all the funding on therapeutic research and biology is directed towards females, and none hardly at all to these men who are left with treatments designed for the disease in women where it behaves significantly differently. |
