By Andrew Griffith Andrew Griffith has mantle cell lymphoma and has had an auto (November 2009) and an allo (August 2011) stem cell transplant . He lives in Canada and is married with two young adult children. He blogs at www.lymphomajourney.wordpress.com and can be followed on Twitter @lymphomajourney . Most of us find it challenging to make sense of the wave of information when we enter our cancer journey. This is foreign territory, with its own language, culture and routines. It takes time to absorb and understand. We’re not oncologists or hematologists. However, we can learn to improve our discussion with our medical team. Tips to help Build your knowledge: By the time you start your treatment, you’ll likely have searched the web and read brochures on your cancer. Ask your medical team which sites have reliable and up-to-date information to avoid old and possibly discouraging information on treatment outcomes. While blogs and support forums help give a real-world view of the range of experiences, you’re an individual, and too much thinking about what happens to others, good or bad, increases worry further. Moderation! To save time, set up Google Reader for news sites, blogs and forums, and use the search function (general terms like cancer or lymphoma ) to narrow down articles of interest. Keep a notepad: At each appointment, take notes. Chemo brain or not, this is new territory and hard to master. Come with someone, either as a listener or a scribe. My wife played the first role and it helped ensure that we both heard and understood the consequences the same way. Start a binder: As you go through treatment, you’ll get more and more paper. I started a binder, organized with these categories: contact info (first page), treatment plan, test results, background information and drug information. The purpose is to have all reference material in one place, to consult and take to hospital and clinic visits. Be prepared: Prepare a list of questions for the medical team for your clinic check-ups (I found it harder during the daily hospital routine). My doctors are busy people. However, they always take time to answer my questions. If I weren’t prepared, the appointment would be limited to a brief summary of my condition. As treatment varies depending on the doctor, having detailed notes and questions helps track any changes. Given my group practice, I questioned my team about changes (scan or not to scan, when to stop immunosuppressants) — not to challenge their judgment but to ensure I understood their rationale for the change. While every patient gets good care, an empowered patient becomes a partner in treatment, one that my medical team appreciated, and may have resulted in better care. Go electronic: I started with a paper system. My second time around, I switched to an iPad (initially to have a new toy). This included the following apps (equivalents available for Android): Evernote for clinic notes and questions, as it kept everything easy to findo
Did kids or siblings call you names when you were little? Did you have stomachaches and begin to develop an eating disorder including bulimia when you were in school? Did people beat you up after school? Did you answer yes to any of these questions? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you need to know that bullying leads to children’s eating disorders or other dysfunctional behaviors. More and more children are finding they need treatment for an eating disorder who are younger than 12. Bullying is dangerous and can even lead to suicide. The internet has exposed the terrible truth about the effects of bullying. Remember, Phoebe Green, who hung herself at age 15 because of cyber bullying. Only recently have we as health care professionals begun to look at the seriousness of bullying particularly after reported teenage suicides. Does your child use the internet? If so, be alert. Know that the internet has exposed the terrible truth about the effects of bullying, severe enough to drive some kids to self-harm or suicide. Bullying effects millions of students but parents and teachers don’t understand the serious outcomes. When professionals or parents tell kids to ignore teasing, or to just get on with it, this not the kind of advice or understanding they need. What does bullying looks like? 1. Emotional or verbal abuse looks like “Fatty fatty two by four, can’t get thru the kitchen door” or Piggy, piggy! 2. “Hey Jew boy.” 3. Cyber abuse is on Facebook where everyone from your school can see it. 4. Cruel emails can be sent from anywhere. A person can be picked on by an individual or group with more power. Someone with more power may be peers, older kids, even teachers or parents. Bullies choose their victims because they look different, have a different religion, or are disabled. Bullies pick on a person simply because the person is shy or is gay or is a lesbian. We must never forget that bullying is a severe form of abuse, i.e. emotional abuse, verbal and sexual abuse. Being excluded socially is a form of abuses. Verbal bullying, cruel email, or cyber-bullying (posting insults online) are forms of abuse. Bullying like most forms of abuse is ongoing, like water dripping on a stone. The person being bullied lives in a constant state of fear. Everything in his or her life is affected. School work and health are both affected. A person being bullied can get stomach-aches, diarrhea, and headaches from the stress. Kids abused by peers or family members can suffer from depression, low-self-esteem, and anxiety occasionally or a great deal of the time. They might even consider suicide! Here are 8 tips to help you protect yourself from bullies. What advise will help if you feel bullied or know someone who is being bullied? 1. Tell someone about it, a teacher, a friend, a parent — tell anyone but tell right away. 2. Stick together with your friend who is being bullied — never leave him or her alone. 3. Learn to ignore the bully. Don’t add wood to the fire. 4. Don’t get physical (or angry) with the bully. 5. Practice feeling and looking confident. Posture is a give-away. 6. take small steps to be in charge of your life. This is where a good coach can help. 7. Talk about the bully and bullying to anyone and everyone. The more public you are, the bully will hide out. 8. Find true friends, friends that can offer you unconditional friendship. If you’re a kid, find an adult who can guide you step by step through the process of taking charge of your life. As you grow in confidence, you’ll stand taller knowing that no one will bully you again.
I am Executive President Danisha Thomas from Mitchellville MD. Prior to using Ardyss products I struggled with my skin care routine. I could never find anything to work on my blemish prone skin. Every month, during my cycle I would suffer with painful, irritated, red, and even bleeding acne. It was embarrasing and depressing. I even tried infomercial products including proactive, but nothing would work. When I started taking Levive, 3 oz in the morning of the red, and 3 oz in the evening of the green, I finally began to see a difference. When the Armida Skin Care line came out, I was reluctant, but knew I wanted to give it a shot. Since I have normal skin, I used the cleanser, rejuvenating night cream, purifying mask, and eye cream on a regular basis. That’s when my dark spots from previous breakouts started to even out, and clear up, and my skin got an even brighter glow. Once I completed my ultra body cleanse, I couldn’t believe the effect it had on my skin. Now, people always think I have foundation on. But I don’t. I have Ardyss on! In fact, I AM ARDYSS! Thank you Mrs. Armida. What would I have done without you!

I began my journey about five years ago when I had some temporary blindness. I went to the doctor and my blood counts were low, so I was sent to a hematologist oncologist. After a bone marrow biopsy, I was diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Once I got my diagnosis, I went straight to MD Anderson. My doctor at MD Anderson was Guillermo Garcia-Manero, M.D., in the Department of Leukemia. I can’t say enough good things about this man. From my first appointment with him, I knew he was the best doctor in the world. It turns out he’s considered the leading authority in the world on my disease. I never doubted him, did everything he told me to do and constantly sought his advice. When my MDS became more vicious and progressive last spring, I became transfusion dependent and my quality of life was deteriorating, he decided it was transplant time. It was now riskier not to have the transplant than to wait. He also told me that after the transplant and when I no longer had MDS, he would no longer be my doctor. I cried.

By Val Marshall Val Marshall’s cancer journey began in May 2009, when her son Addison was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia . A visit to the family doctor for what they thought was a simple high school football injury turned out to be much more. Inspired by her son’s strength and hope, Val strives to be a voice that connects other parents on this journey. Her series shares insight into her life as a mom of a typical teenager who just happens to be fighting leukemia. Addison Marshall Crush Cancer I have to say that I was happy to ring in the New Year and say “hasta la vista, baby” to 2011. Last year was a huge mountain for Addison to climb. But he scaled it with a heavy load, while refusing to yield to leukemia’s wrath. I remember when I saw the protocol with 104 weeks of chemotherapy at the time of his relapse. I never thought the end of treatment would occur. He’s now looking down at 81 weeks — “run Forrest, run!” We’re crossing our fingers and hearts that he will finish chemo in June, in time to ship off to Texas A&M this fall. Addie started the year like he lives each day. He fell on jump boxes while working out and split open his shin. I didn’t flinch but realized that his platelets must have been decent, even though it took a while to stop the bleeding. Boy, I am getting lax.

My name is Shona Davenport Blackthorn from Australia, for over 40 years I have suffered with my body. I remember when it first started I was in my middle 20′s married and had 3 children. Instead of eating, I would smoke and drink coffee, I realised I had an eating disorder because every time I looked in the mirror I saw a very fat and ugly woman, everyone would tell me you look great but I know what I saw and that’s what I believed! It became that bad I dropped to 7 stone and still saw a fat person staring back at me, so I smoked and drank coffee for nearly every meal. I would not go out, I couldn’t find anything that looked good on me or about Me, I just looked fat… but life went on and I still couldn’t see Me as I really looked. Days went past and they turned into months and years, always seeing the same thing, so I stopped looking in the mirror and I became what I thought I looked like FAT, of course! A few years ago I lost 20 pound but I still suffered from Body Disorder, I went to gym after gym but they made no difference, I still looked fat and ugly………… now I had layers of loose skin, I couldn’t afford to pay $10.000 for a tummy tuck so I started looking around for a garment that would hide my ugliness but not cost the world! Yes I paid for undergarments that did nothing then I found Ardyss and my life changed, my body not only looked fantastic but my self esteem was lifted to a height where I now speak to other women and men as a Motivation Speaker. What a life change I have had, Ardyss has changed my whole outlook on my life and the way I look at myself. I have started looking at photo’s of myself in my 20′s and I was a good looking woman and I still not bad for nearly 61, I can’t believe I have wasted so much time, now I love who I have become and I am building other women’s and men’s self esteem and they are starting to live the life they were meant to live. Thank you Ardyss for giving me my life back and more! Shona Davenport Blackthorns

By Sapna Patel, M.D. , assistant professor, Department of Melanoma Medical Oncology When a patient is diagnosed with uveal melanoma , he or she should be evaluated by an ocular oncologist, an ophthalmologist who specializes in treating cancer of the eye. The objective of this examination is to find out whether the uveal (or intraocular) cancer has spread to the optic nerve or nearby tissues of the eye socket, or has moved through the blood to other parts of the body. Depends on diagnosis When uveal melanoma is diagnosed, the treatment depends on whether the disease has metastasized to other organs. Most patients whose disease has not metastasized are treated with surgery known as enucleation or some form of radiation therapy . A commonly used radiation treatment for uveal melanoma is plaque brachytherapy, in which a tiny radioactive disk is placed on the affected part of the eye for a few days, minimizing exposure to surrounding tissue. Dan Gombos, M.D., associate professor and chief of the Section of Ophthalmology , is an ocular oncologist who specializes in the treatment of uveal melanoma, in addition to other intraocular malignancies. He works in coordination with Beth Beadle, M.D., and William Morrison, M.D., in the Department of Radiation Oncology, to manage these patients. The latest diagnostic techniques and treatments for eye cancer are available at MD Anderson, where cutting-edge translational research is conducted, continually driving laboratory discoveries forward to application in the clinical realm. Clinical trials for uveal melanoma patients “Because of the multidisciplinary nature of the ophthalmologists, oncologists and research scientists at MD Anderson, we are actively designing research-driven clinical trials for patients with uveal melanoma,” says

By Andrew Griffith Andrew Griffith has mantle cell lymphoma and has had an auto (November 2009) and an allo (August 2011) stem cell transplant . He lives in Canada and is married with two young adult children. He blogs at www.lymphomajourney.wordpress.com and can be followed on Twitter @lymphomajourney . One of the hardest things after a cancer diagnosis is telling others: family, friends and colleagues. I preferred a more open approach for a number of reasons: Keeping everything inside was harder; talking and writing was a form of release. People close to you need to know to support you. Letting people know avoids awkward questions and provides an invitation for support. Experience with others who didn’t share made it harder on others and me. Looking back over the past three years, a number of steps helped me talk to people: Identify your circles: Who needs to know, after the obvious close family and friends? Do you have natural support groups (religious or other organizations)? What about colleagues at work — how wide should the net be? Write out your script and be direct: I think better by writing out things. Particularly at work, a script allowed me to get out what I wanted to say and ensure that I didn’t forget anything important. Apart from dealing with small children, be direct and honest, and let people know how serious your cancer is. Most people respond better to openness, although it does take time after their initial shock. Practice on those closest (but it doesn’t get easier): First was my wife and then our kids, close family and friends, and then finally work colleagues. While my script became more “automatic,” I was always uneasy when I spoke. Each group is different, with its own challenges (our kids were the hardest). I found I just had to plough through, despite the difficulties. Telling people in person (or over the phone) rather than by email was more personal. Set up family “conferences” as needed: While I never felt the need to do these weekly or monthly, I do these at various key moments. The hardest was just before my allo stem cell transplant, where I had to remind our kids of the poor odds but that I chose to take this risk to be with them longer (my script helped), and that I needed and counted on their support. It was easier after the 100-day mark, but even then I had to temper good news with ongoing, longer-term uncertainty. Tell your colleagues in an orderly manner: I managed a group of 100 people. I had to let them, my boss and other colleagues know about the duration of my absence. I let my boss know first, followed by my staff (starting with my immediate staff, then my management team and an all-staff meeting), and lastly other colleagues. This was done largely within the same week to ensure that office chatter was based on shared information. Ongoing communications: I started a series of weekly email updates to my colleagues (family and friends were more by phone or individual emails) to respond to their natural concerns. I then turned this into a blog of weekly updates, but with the broader audience of family and friends. After my relapse, I expanded the blog to include articles of interest to me. People were informed on the health-related questions without the need to ask. We could focus our emails, telephone calls and walks on non-cancer, living-our-life chats. While each of us has one’s own comfort level (and initially I was more private), greater sharing reduces rumor and speculation. It also invites people to support you, and is one of the few areas under your control in the cancer treatment journey. These steps helped me be more open about my journey. They also helped me come to terms with what I was going through and become closer to the people supporting me.
