Cancer Liver

Katherine, a mom and 16-year survivor, talks about living with kidney cancer.

I made this video with my dad, Robert Gallner (call him Bob), who is a survivor of Stage IV Renal Cell Carcinoma. He discusses his experience with the disease beginning with his first diagnosis, through the removal of several tumors and a kidney, Interleukin-2 (IL-2) therapy, and remission. He also shares insight on how to achieve inner peace and spirituality with techniques like visualization and meditation to remain positive through this painstaking process and eliminate fear. Update: Bob was diagnosed with RCC again in his liver and had major surgery after the making of this video. The surgery went really well and he is recovering wonderfully, a true survivor. These past few years have been nerve racking at times but I can honestly say my father’s cancer has brought our whole family together and we have never been closer or had so much fun together! Who are we to say what is good or bad? See the good in every situation and your life will be bliss. Circumstances do not matter. Only your state of being matters. Cancer is a challenge, but it is one we can overcome.

Resection of Colon Transversum for Colon Cancer with Stage IIIA (T3N1M0)

My husband was diagnosed with colon cancer in November of 2007, which spread to his liver, Stage IV. His cancer marker was 349 and the doctors said he could expect to live 6 months, that his cancer would probably not respond well to chemo. After 6 chemo treatments, his cancer marker came way down to 101, but no one will tell us he can now expect to live years instead of months. Anyone know what we should expect?

My brother is in the last stage of liver cancer. He has a significant weight loss and is very jaundiced. The whites of his eyes are yellow. The past few days he has ran a high fever of 103 to 104 and having bad heaches. Was wondering if this is close to the end. If you have any info could you please tell me. Thank you.

I have a family member recently diagnosed with Renal Cell Carcinoma (kidney cancer) stage 2. He lost his kidney as a result. Can he still join the military? or should he forget about joining the army? Which branch will take him? He’s bilingual (English-Arabic, most dialects of the Middle East). He has a post-college degree.
What will the MEPS doctors say?

I have read many people write about how they or people they know have Stage 4 colon cancer and never had any symptoms. How is this possible? How could someone be completely healthy, have a perfect CBC,etc and yet have something that could potentially kill them in a short span?

My grandma just found out she has stage 4 colon cancer. Have you or anyone you know had stage 4 colon cancer and know the survival rates?

Other than the cancer she is failry healthy.

Thanks!
