what does the cancer ribbon mean to cancer survivors?

Accepted Answer

A great deal.: This is a symbol of cancer awareness, especially breast cancer.  It is also a symbol of all that the survivors have been through, and how precious life is.

Question 10

i have lymphoma cancer and have been getting chemo.  i am very nauseated despite the meds.  a friend told me of a product called queaze ease.

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Could work.  There are a number of nonrx products that are promoted as nausea remedies. Nice thing is it shouldn't interact with your other meds. Downside would be cost.  Ginger has also been known to help some people as well as accupressure 'sea bands'.  Of course, make sure to check with your med onc before trying anything new!
