Okay. So I’m sure you read my other question about my uncle who died of cancer. One of my uncles died in 2007 with Melanoma he was in his early 70’s. Recently my other uncle (his brother) died of Colon cancer and he was 68. So what are the odds of me developing cancer later on in life? Also, what would be some ways to detect it early?

I bought 2 feeder mice a while back, and one of them is just sitting there on one side. He doesn’t usually bite and when I picked him up, he bit me. Then I noticed that he has reddish colored lumps on the top of his neck. I’m trying to find out if they’re tumors.
never mind………it just died

Hi :),
Is there anyone out there in YA who has MEN, Type 1, or a doctor that can give me some involved information?

My question is about Wermer’s Syndrome, or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1. I have had two doctors tell me that I definitely have it; two tell me that I don’t have it; and one tell me that he doesn’t know.

I have a pituitary microprolactinoma, and have had a parathyroidectomy, but if there are pancreatic tumors, they have not yet shown up on scans. I was told that I don’t have MEN, type1 because of this. I have also been told that I do have it because I have all the symptoms of pancreatic tumors. The doctor said that tumors are probably microscopic and haven’t shown up yet, and its better that way. The slower they grow, the better off I will be.

What are the symptoms that I can look for? I cannot afford DNA testing, and my insurance won’t pay for it. I need to know some symptoms that can be readily seen in my everyday life.
I forgot to mention- during the parathyroidectomy, three 1/2 of the four parathyroid gland were removed. They were not malignant, but they all had tumors/growths- whatever it is that people with MEN have.

I am from Philippines, my father was diagnosed with prostate cancer. The doctor’s advice is to do surgical procedure wherein they have to remove the testicles/scrotum of my dad. Isn’t he suppose to remove the prostate instead of removing the testicles/scrotum? Once the testicles are removed, what are the chances of survival if his prostate wont be removed?

I am very frightened about getting this type of cancer. I am in the sun a lot and don’t usually wear sunscreen, where I live it is very hot and the sun is always out really. I do have freckles and I read that it might mean I have a better chance of getting skin cancer. What is the best way to prevent it?
