A member asked:

If i do not do any treatment for my ovarian cancer for six months is that a problem? i would like to go on vacation and would be away for six months but my tumor has double in size from 11 months ago.

Cancer needs Tx.: This would not be a wise choice, and could have truly dire consequences. If you want to treat your cancer, you need to do it now. Waiting six months would be a very bad idea, and again, could have dire consequences. Please don't do this.
