Childhood cancer survivors more at risk of chronic health problems as adults
Excerpts:

According to a new study adult survivors of childhood cancer can expect to
suffer from one or more chronic health problems years after their cancer has
been cured.

They discovered that 62.3 percent of the cancer survivors had at least one
chronic health condition, a rate three times more than their siblings.

The study is published in the current issue of the New England Journal of
Medicine.

Female survivors of childhood cancer: preterm birth and low birth weight
among their children

Excerpts:



Female childhood cancer survivors may face pregnancy problems,
including early deliveries and low birth weight children, according to a
study in the October 19 Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
New therapies for childhood cancer patients have increased survival,
but many scientists are concerned about the long-term effects of the
treatments, particularly for patients exposed to radiation and chemotherapy.

Easily fixed. Stop curing the childhood cancers, then they won't get
old enough to have any problems later in life.

Do you ever think about the nonsense you post?

Sad that.

What I think is nonsense is you seeming to find something wrong with
saving children's lives, as you seem to think that if a child's life
is saved and they subsequently contract a disease then this is a bad
thing.

You really don't think things through, do you?

Children whose lives are saved from cancer get diseases later in life.
If they die from cancer they do not get diseases later in life. What
is the problem?

Dido,

Apparently curing childhood cancer is a bad thing for Jan, especially
if Doctors can take credit for it.

Actually, I think this is good research. It points out areas where cancer
treatments for pediatric cancer can be imporved.

And, as you point out, you can't have health problems without being alive.
Without the medical treatment they received, these people would have no
health problems because they would have no health or life.

Hi.
I have to say that this sounds awefully depressing considering my son
whom is 12
currently suffers acute lymphoblastic leukemia. I think this should be
less bullshit and more truth. I know a lot of women most whom did not
have cancer as children whom gave birth to their children prematurely.

Hello Bethann or do they call you Beth?
I'm sorry for what brings you here, but welcome.
Looking back at what ifs or what caused it, really isn't good for the spirit.

Our kids are more than their diseases.
Tell us about your son.

Is he in treatment?
Is he suffering?

Hi folks,
These people persist in a) replying to her and b) failing to remove crossposts
to this newsgroup.
So when you see a post from her, use your filters, in your newsreader and "plonk
the thread".
These are instructions for Outlook Express

For those using Outlook Express, I would suggest you pick out a word in
the subject line and filter on that.

Use "Childhood".....and do the following.....

1. In OE, click on Tools, then extend Message Rules and click on News.

2. Click on New.....tick off the box referring to the SUBJECT line.....

3. In the second part, tick off DELETE and Stop Processing More Rules.

4. In the third part you will now see "contains specific words" in
blue.....click on that.

5. In the box that comes up, put "Childhood" and hit add. You can add
another word or 3 if you wish from that subject line.....

OK your way out and if you did it right, you will see no more posts from
these mental midgets. If they change the subject line......you add one
or two of the words to your Message Rule.

For those using other than Outlook Express, work out some sort of filter for
your news reader.

Good luck.......But I have most of them individually blocked.

You can individually block the above posters, as well.
Save these instructions and as soon as you see a post from her, click on it,
block her name, then block the thread using one of the words in the topic line.

I can block them, but prefer to see what they're up to.
If that fits you, then don't feed the trolls by replying to them or snip out the
other newsgroups and make your comment on this newsgroup.

My son Daniel is currently undergoing a very heavy chemo treatment. He
has a hickman so that the chemo can be administered. He has undergone
41 spinal taps since 2/10/06 he is diabetic due to the steriods he is
on. He also has a feeding tube because eating makes him ill. He is
suffering it is not fun but his spirits are high.
Daniel was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in February this
year. I was searching for hope. I was looking for peace. I do not mean
to be rude but I hate hearing bad things. I have to tell you that my
father is type 2 diabetic. He has under gone multiple bypass surgery
had stents put in and is doing well for all of it . But again he is
also great in spirit.
What else would you like to know about Daniel He has chemo 4 out of
every 7 days gets bacterial and staph infections regularly.

Thanks for answering my questions, Bethann,
You are accessing newsgroups via a Google webpage.
Since many newsgroups are not moderated, anyone can post or crosspost (send same message to multiple newsgroups at
one time).
The person who persists in crossposting these messages has an agenda of discouraging people from conventional
medicine. I would think that if it was her child, (or if she got cancer herself) she'd feel differently.

There's a discussion board here http://www.leukemia.org/hm_lls if that's your preference.

Best wishes to you and your son,
J

This study raises valid points, chemotherapy which is the only option
at the time, raises it's ugly head years later. This is not new
information either.

I had a large dose of adryamicin for my treatment, some of the long
term effects don't appear until 20-30 years later. It is one of the
gifts cancer treatment gives you.


Bethann, don't be depressed, in 20-30 years there will be new treatment
options to deal with the side effects. Chemo is your son's only choice.
I think the point is here, even if you are "cured" you still need to be
seeing a health care provider to monitor for these side effects. Some
on this board have the opinion once treatment is done, you never have
to worry again, not true.

I am a almost 10 year survivor of breast cancer, despite what others
say here, you can't not forget and move on. There are side effects of
chemo that are life long. Plus having cancer in one area makes you
higher risk of other cancers. You have to have a good medical team to
support you the rest of you life.
