The only thing I'd say to anyone affected is be a bit more aggressive, insist on examinations until they are sure you are totally in the clear, don't keep believing the assurances they give you, it can all go downhill much faster than you imagine.

Too true. My own father was working on the car one day and was in the ground three months later when diagnosed with prostate cancer. You'll never believe how fast it acts.Originally posted by xoggoth View PostThe only thing I'd say to anyone affected is be a bit more aggressive, insist on examinations until they are sure you are totally in the clear, don't keep believing the assurances they give you, it can all go downhill much faster than you imagine."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience".

This has the potential to be wonderful news. I am so happy that medical science is making inroads into many of life's biggest killers such as heart disease, HIV, and now cancer. It's a great time to be alive!Comment

In fact 7.6m people die each year from cancer whereas HIV has only killed around 25m in total. I'm rather cross that so much money has been spent on AIDS research which could have been so much better spent on cancer - a disease which kills many many more people.Originally posted by KentPhilip View Postmedical science is making inroads into many of life's biggest killers such as HIV
This from 2008!
Experts rethinking billions spent on AIDS - Health - AIDS | NBC News
And from 2010
U.S. Taxpayers Spend Twice as Much Globally on AIDS as on All Other Diseases, GAO Reports | CNS News
It's a scandal. But then again people dying of cancer and children in Africa dying of malaria aren't as "in your face" as activist homosexuals in California
