Studies show a 20 year gap between starting smoking and developing lung cancer. My question is, what is the shortest amount of time between somebody starting smoking and developing cancer that could be reasonably attributed to a cause of the smoking?

I’d save my family because lots of people have already died of cancer and im sure someone else will discover the cure for cancer.

My mother, who is 61, has metastatic renal cell cancer and has been put on a treatment regimen which requires her to receive intravenous Avastin once every two weeks and have Roferon-A shots three times a week. She has since suffered such side effects as tiredness, lethargy, muscle aches, gum and mouth inflammation, chills, fever and, recently, loss of appetite. Is there anything she could use, eat or drink to ease the side effects?

Tres asked:


I would appreciate any help. Hoping for others who have had the same problem tell me what helped them or anyone with any ideas. Alternative treatments would be greatly appreciated but would consider others. Thanks.
The details are that I need to have bowel movements several times a day and may not have good digestion (therefore, the supplements I take may not be working as well as they should be.). Which also causes raw tissue from excessive wiping. Sorry if this is too explicit.
I have radiation colitis.

Next year, I want to plan to have a cancer walk that students can participate in, but I have never been in charge of planning a cancer walk before. What advice do you have? Who can I get in contact with to do this? Should other people be allowed into the cancer walk? Should we put together teams to walk that day? Any suggestions are appreciated and will be taken seriously.
dink2925, I am perfectly aware of the way cancer has affected and changed our society. I have many loved ones who have been diagnosed with the cancer throughout my 14 years of existence, and I have decided to raise awareness to this and to do raise money to help provide treatment for these people. I am doing something about a major illness in the United States, something that I believe is just as important as picking up trash on the side of the road.

Honest question. I’ve read that if you get cancer in Canada and can’t afford to go outside Canada for treatment, you’re pretty much dead.

What’s the average wait time between starting treatment after being diagnosed with cancer in Canada?
