She has a screwed up life anyway but she went to get some female medical work done and they discovered a uterine tumor - further tests - and lymphatic cancer.

She had surgery two days ago to remove the tumor and lymph but had kidney failure yesterday.

She's out of intensive care now but it could be stage 3 cancer and we don't know yet.

A month ago she didn't even know she has cancer.

    WOW! The fact that she got it in the lymph nodes indicates an almost 100% of metastasis! I hope they try to kill the remaining cancer, and succeed! Hopefully the cancer was low in the uterus and doesn't reach the ovaries, etc... They obviously have to ht it hard.

    Scary, Gareth. Did they say whether it was the result of gene mutation or immune system deficiency? If it's the later, they may still have a good chance to save her as long as everything is working. Did her kidneys start back up?

    Good luck - be strong for her. It might be all you can do.

    I would say I'd pray for her, but that would be a lie since I'm not religious.. but I'll definitely keep her in my thoughts

    I went through Ewing's Sarcoma (bone cancer), 12 1/2 years ago. It left me with a deformed right leg, but, I'm still here. I will keep your sister in my thoughts & prayers that she will be also.

      I recently saw a documentary about there being a cure for cancer called "The Beautiful Truth". It's about Dr. Gerson's natural treatment. I can't post links yet but you can Google it and watch it for free on YT. I hope your sister gets better.

    I am not sure why they are calling this a vaccine as they are offering treatment to current cancer patients. There is a phone number in the article.

      As I said, the chances are INCREDIBLY slim that the operation got rid of all the cancer. It is RARE that a person gets two types of cancer, and I don't think I have ever heard of it happening. If they have more than one, the chances are near 100% that one metastasized. I hope the doctors acted accordingly. The operation is to remove MOST of it and stabilize the patient. Hopefully they acted to knock out the other cancer cells that would otherwise pop up and cause more cancer.

        Awww, Sorry to hear that gareth.

        Wishing her and your family the best of luck. Scary stuff. I've heard that cancer doesn't really hurt, which is why people can go for so long without knowing it's there.

        There is something to be said for juicing. The Gerson therapy could be helpful, it's about using fruit and vegetable juice to help your body heal. Might be something to look into.

    I am very sorry to hear about that. The chances are that her kidney failure is a result of her operation which is quite major. She should recover from that without any problems. It sounds like that her tumor have spread from the uterus to the surrounding lymph nodes. It may or may not have gone beyond that. Each tumor is different and I would wait for laboratory before making any conclusions. I hope she summons all her energy to beat it.

    I am so sorry to hear about that Gareth. Don't you like to try some herbal supplements to cure her cancer cells? Coz one of my friends in facebook is endorcing a pure barley which also cured the prostate cancer, breast cancer, colon cancers of the celebrities in their country. If you want you can just google the pure barley testimonies for you to know the effectiveness of it. As of now he have a patient a 28 year old guy who have stage 4 cancer and for the 4 days that he is using pure barley many developments to his body made.. If you know more about it Gareth just message me..
