there is no such thing as uncurable cancer. most cancers don't have cures. but it doesn't mean they are unbeatable. your family may be able to commiserate and share the burden with you. maybe even find a way to fight it with you. good luck. I'm very sorry for you. Stay strong. its not over till its over.

My dad was told he'd be dead by my 6th birthday. He went through 6 doctors. I'm 37 and he's still alive and just came to my wedding. Hug them! Invite them into your life and live every second you can with them. That's what we've done. They will help you fight.

my father was diagnosed with prostate cancer. My mother was terrified for him for the rest of her life. She died at 87, and more than 30 years after his diagnosis, he's healthy, cancer free, and over 90. You need your family, and they deserve to know. the change in you will be obvious, they know something's up.

Go MACROBIOTIC immediately! Do a search on Christine Pirello. She was diagnosed with cancer and was told she was going to die in her twenties- as all the women in her family had. Twenty years later she writes about the diet that saved her life- and had married the doctor that put her on the diet. Basically, it's RAW VEGETABLES. But read about it, it's worth it. God Bless You. (Weird spacing to get your attention)

If you choose to battle this, good luck to you. If you loose the fight, it will be a new adventure. Get with Hospice and your spiritual leader. Tell your family and get the crying over now so you can live a-little more. You're not alone but death is the only thing you have to learn to do all by your self. Learn this by living for now.

I have been a nurse for 16 years and for more years than that, I have been interested in and studying different forms of healing. We are here on this earth to learn. What there is for you to learn from this, only you can say. It might be that you need to learn how to turn to your loved ones for support. It might be that you need to learn how to be vulnerable. It might be that you and your loved ones must learn how to come together in love and support of each other and work through this. It's possible that, whether you live or die from this disease is secondary to what you need to learn and experience from going through it. It might be that you need to learn the power of manifesting in your life and that you can manifest a healing. Fear will block you from finding your path. Start getting in touch with your support system, both the people you love and the inner guidance you and I and all of us have. You are on a journey, take it without fear. It's not the destination that matters most, it's the journey and how we walk our path that matters. One more thing. The body is truly amazing. It is working at all times to keep us healthy. Learn to work with your body as it does everything it can to heal itself. Fear will only block that. Let go of the outcome. Take each day, each minute as it comes. Know the love that surrounds you and have faith. Miracles are common place when you start allowing yourself to see them.

What Cancer Cannot Do It cannot cripple love. It cannot shatter hope. It cannot corrode faith. It cannot destroy peace. It cannot kill friendships. It cannot suppress memories. It cannot silence courage. It cannot invade the soul. It cannot steal eternal life. It cannot conquer the Spirit. * This is on a sign in the infusion room at the Huntsman Cancer Institute in SLC, Utah. It was a great strength to my mom in her battle. God be with you. Surround yourself with loved ones to bear you up, wipe your tears, and laugh. God gives us family for a reason - to be there. :)

They told me the same thing when I was your age. Ovarian that spread through almost all my organs. They said I had 2 years max, and that, my dear friend, was 7 1/2 years ago. They dont know everything. But dont worry about telling everyone. Just tell someone. This is too much of a burden to carry yourself. Pick a friend/lover/companion/family member who will be there, no matter what... and prepare to fight. We only fail at that which we do not try to accomplish.

God Bless You, dont give up! Life is worth every once of strength you have. New cures and treatments come evry day. My prayers are with you.

You need to share and surround yourself in their love and support. Also you need another medical opinion at a major hospital such as Johns Hopkins Etc... I will lift you up in my prayers as our great physician ( Jesus Christ ) is our ROCK and HOPE and he can provide the knowledge and healing needed to get you through this. In Christian Love...Mark

I believe the only reason that you are feeling woried about it is because it is cervical cancer, am I correct? Noone will look down on you..and most families, if they are families at all will be very understanding of your conditions despite how you have developed the disease. I myself have HPV I don't like telling the whole world but hell I might as well say it, which causes cervical cancer in women. My family understands that I have a lifelong disease and are still very supportive of me. I don't feel so bad because 80% of the population has this in some form or another. Things will work out. Cheer up babe I am 22. :)

Look up Vitamin B-17. Its called Laetrile. You'll be amazed at what it does to cancer! Also, look up juicing and the fungus link to cancer. Most cancer's are actually fungus.

It will be hard, But they will be the best support you can get, and having that support, will make getting through it, and really living through it, much easier. and less of a shock/painfull for them, when/if it comes. and... really look into alternative medicines. what have you got to loose? Look up Essiac tea on google. :-)

You should tell your family. Noone should ever go through this alone. "Curable" or not.... positive outlook has scientific basis for improving outcomes. Its hard to always be positive alone, sometimes you need to be able to borrow some "positive" from someone else.

What is the reason you would not tell your family?
Remove this stupid comment

Getting rid of cancer is not difficult. You MUST however make some changes in your lifestyle, primarily, what you eat. If you will be willing to eat ONLY RAW, UNCOOKED FRUITS and VEGETABLES, drink only purified water (NOT distilled), and eat RAW ALOE VERA (slit the leaf with a sharp knife, scoop out the goop inside, and eat it or mix it with some juice. [do NOT eat the skin or green parts - unlus you are constipated, then... stay close to a toilet]) aloe is an aquired taste - you'll get used to it! Cancer occurs about 10,000 times a day in the average human, and one's immune system kills it. When one's immune system is overloaded because of having to deal with too many toxins, drugs, junk food, pollution, exposure to viruses, bacteria, etc., a cancerous cell can get a "foothold" and grow and thrive. Clean up your Diet and Environment, and stay away from anything that will harm your body. when the "toxic input" is decreased, your immune system will be able to do it's job and kill the cancer. It's up to you, it's your body and your life! More people die from radiation and chemotherapy than from the actual cancer! Clean up your input so your immune system can do it's job. Oh, and if you ask JESUS (the Lord God) to help you, He is the greatest healer of all. Don't knock it 'til you've tried it (don't knock it, period!) With love, and, I'll pray for you.

My condolences to you dear. You have no choice but to tell your family about your condition. When should they find out when you are admitted to the hospital because it's too late to do anything else to save you? You need the support of your family right now. Tell them and let them help prop you up. Ask the lord for help because he will you know. My 3 yr old went through supposedly incurable cancer but he'll soon be 13 and going strong..... Good Luck!

Don't give up! If your doctor can't figure it out, go elsewhere. Tell your family. You will be better off. Good luck.

I wish I could be there with you right now to hold you up a bit and help you tie on "the gloves" I can't get in the ring with you but I can be in your corner! C'MON! FIGHT! I'm not just talking out my ^ss. March 27th was four years cancer free for me! (stage 4 throat cancer) By the way, MD Anderson is HUGE in cancer care. Let that Dr. in Houston help you! 95% of your cure is going to come from the neck up! BELIEVE you are going to be cured! You're alive now, that means you're ALREADY a cancer survivor! One more thing...your cure is a gift from God. That doesn't mean there's going to be a lightning bolt and a voice from the sky. It means God will put your cure in the hands of talented Doctors!
