what are symptoms of stage four cancer?

Question

Its saying I have symptoms of ovarian cyst cancer and i've have pain for four years now .Do I have the chance ?

Answer 1

Depends: Each common cancer has a staging system depending on how far it has spread, and in turn, the symptoms depend on exactly where the tumor has spread and what it's doing. There's no telling. A stage IV lung cancer in the liver will behave much differently than a stage IV lung cancer in the chest wall.

Answer 2

No: Lupus is not associated with cancer. It is autoimmune disease.

Answer 3

Yes, new data: New data shows an increased risk of several malignancies especially non-hodgkins lymphoma in patients with lupus. However, the skin lesions of lupus do not turn into cancer which is often a concern for patients.

Answer 4

Either by some symptom (something unusual you feel or notice about yourself - i.e. Pain) or sign (something your doctor notices during an evaluation - i.e. Tenderness on exam) or through a screening test. We currently have approved screeing tests for cervical, breast, colon/rectal, and prostate cancers.

Answer 5

In many ways: Cancer can be suspected due to symptoms or findings (a growing lump, coughing blood, low blood counts, sever weight loss). However, a definite diagnosis requires a biopsy of a suspected lump or mass (breast cancer or lymphoma); or a review of the blood or bone marrow biopsy (blood cancers).

Answer 6

Malignant: By definition, malignant tumors are cancerous. A tumor is just an abnormal swelling - many times it is benign (no serious, imminent concern). But if it is found to contain cancerous cells, it is then malignant.

Answer 7

Cancers &: Tumors each grow locally, causing pressure and symptoms, but cancers have cellular abnormalities under the microscope and pathology, but clinically tend to travel (metastasis) to other organs.

Answer 8

Uncontrolled tumor: Tumors that for some uncclear reasons- have lost their control mechanism within the cells- thus grow more rapidly and have the capacity to invade the adjacent organs and spread beyond the primary organs- are cancerous.

Answer 9

I : I hope you have gotten this problem taken care of and your daughter is ok since it has been six days since you submitted this question. For future reference, any time a child swallows a non digestible object such as a quarter, you should either call your child's doctor or proceed to the er. An object, such as a quarter, can lodge in the esophagus (the tube that connects the mouth to the stomach) and erode through which is a very serious medical problem. Another concern is that if the quarter is stuck high in the throat, the child can cough it up and have it relodge in the airway which is also serious. The child may or may not have symptoms and may be able to drink water without difficulty, so this is not a good test as to if the quarter is stuck. The safest thing to do is call your child's doctor or go to the er for a x-ray. An x-ray will be able to tell you if the quarter is in the stomach (just needs to be followed) or is lodged in the esophagus, throat or airway (must be removed). If you think it could be a disc battery (like in a watch) this is a surgical emergency and the child should be seen in the er as soon as possible for removal.

Answer 10

Ingested coin: Ingested foreign bodies may cause no symptoms, but "passing normally" is not a given. As a quarter is large, it is wise to at least examine a radiograph. After favorable findings of routine X-rays, healthy children may be given food and drink with repeat radiographs 24 hours later. More invasive procedures can and should be avoided, but the baseline exam mentioned is wise to guide decisions.

I : I hope you have gotten this problem taken care of and your daughter is ok since it has been six days since you submitted this question! for future reference, any time a child swallows an undigestible object such as a quarter, you should either call your child's doctor or proceed to the er. An object, such as a quarter, can lodge in the esophagus (the tube that connects the mouth to the stomach) and erode through which is a very serious medical problem.

Answer 12

? Really ?: If it made it into her stomach, she will readily drink fluids and if so there is no emergency. A trip to a clinic with x-ray capability could verify the presence and location of a quarter. If present you can consult with the staff on whether they think it will pass naturally or need to be retrieved. I wouldn't worry much at her age if it were a nickle/dime or penny, but a quarter is borderline.

Answer 13

Ask your Dr: The easiest and most reliable way is to ask your doctor for your stage.

Answer 14

Your doctor: They should tell you this either after the biopsy or after tests like ct or pet scans are done.

Answer 15

Several: Lung cancer. Oropharyngeal cancer. Even cervical cancer is increased in smokers. But not smoking or drinking is not protective. This just reduces your risk.

Answer 16

And the cancer : You wanted to ask about you forgot to mention. Tobacco is assocated with lung, bladder, pancreas, other and head and neck cancers and esophagus. Alcohol joins tobacco in the latter two. Breast cancer is not associated with either. People smoking and drinking as weel as those who do not have sex, and frequent multiple sexual partners assocaited with cervix, anal ca's.

Answer 17

God was not ready : You may not had died but is important to ckeck your liver and kidneys to make sure they did not get any damage.You obviosly may need saome couseling.You may have the proper gene to protectr yuor liver frm the tylenol (acetaminophen).

Answer 18

Don't be so fast: This is not something quick. You may have caused enough damage to your liver that it will slowly die. While it does, it will begin to stop removing toxins from your blood. You can gradually succumb to a slow and painful death. Toward the end, your ability to clot will end & you may drown in your own blood as it seeps into your lungs. If you don't like the idea, see a doc soon.
