Icebluewings Sat, 12 Aug 2006 00:00:00 GMT All these symptoms suck, but what are they caused from? Are you on chemo now. The itcy skin leads me to this b/c chemo attacks the fast replicating cells and we have a lot of those on our skin. If you are on chemo then it looks like you aren't taking it too well. If this is the case then you have a great option of taking a new drug called DAVANAT. its chemo without any side effects and it works. If you aren't on chemo then I'm curious as to why. I'm not here to play doctor b/c I am not but to help someone needs to know what is wrong. Topgun Sun, 13 Aug 2006 00:00:00 GMT no i havent been diagnosed with cancer im currently haveing tests its more of a case of panic than anything thats why i was unsure wether to post a message on this site or not as i dont know what it is just wanted to ask people how they came to know they had this type of cancer what symptoms they had before diagnosis i know it sounds selfish of me to ask this of anyone, but in my heart i believe that i too have cancer i pray its not i have 3 young children but im just after advice really will let you know the outcome of my tests xx Icebluewings Mon, 14 Aug 2006 00:00:00 GMT your symptoms could be several different things, so your blood test should help. It might not be cancer at all. You were wise to get it checked out. Did you get any type of xray/scan ? Oncrx Mon, 14 Aug 2006 00:00:00 GMT yes had scan they have sent my results of scan to my doctors have to wait for results im probably worried for nothing but we have a long history of cancer in our family because i have had so much nausea and vomitting of green bile etc its been going on for some time as the other symptoms are recent bloating of stomache and abdomen pain i know its not a bug or infection as been to long for that indigestion heartburn ive always had but thats worse only thing is i havent jaundice skin so thats a relief but i dont know alot about this cancer. im keeping my finger toes and everything crossed !!!! Icebluewings Mon, 14 Aug 2006 00:00:00 GMT my thoughts and prayers are with you. please keep us posted. i'm sure this is a very stressful time for you. i am one of three children and my mother was recently diagnosed (in june) with bile duct cancer at the age of 63. she did exhibit some of the same symptoms as you but as the other poster mentioned your symptoms (like my mother's) could have (or in your case) could be caused by a multitude of different conditions. let us know what happens. be healthy. get lots of sleep. eat plenty of vitamin C and STAY POSITIVE. there's many different conditions that could be causing your symtpoms. typically any "back up" in the bile duct symptom could be responsible. try not too panic though i know it's hard. peace. david Daviddistant Sat, 21 Oct 2006 00:00:00 GMT
