10.01.2022 September is Blood Cancer Awareness Month. Every Year more than 15,000 Australians are diagnosed with a blood cancer which is equal to 1 person every 36 minutes. More than 110,000 people are living wth blood cancer in Australia. Blood cancers affect the blood, bone marrow and lymphatic systems and typically occur when normal blood cell production is reduced due to the uncontrolled growth of an abnormal blood cell. ... Treatment can include surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and in some cases a stem cell or bone marrow transplant. 63% of patients survive past 5 years. Have you considered becoming a stem cell donor? Did you know in most cases cells are taken peripherally like a normal blood donation? You could save the life of someone anywhere in the world!

08.01.2022 About advanced bile duct cancer Advanced bile duct cancer is cancer that has spread outside the bile ducts. It can also mean cancer that has come back some time after you were first treated (recurrent cancer). Unfortunately, most people with bile duct cancer already have advanced cancer when they are diagnosed. This is because it usually doesn’t cause symptoms early on, and when it does cause symptoms they can be vague and difficult to spot.... Advanced cancer can be divided into either: a. locally advanced bile duct cancer b. bile duct cancer that has spread elsewhere in the body, such as the lungs. --Locally advanced cancer Locally advanced cancer means that the cancer has spread into lymph nodes or organs near the bile duct. Bile duct cancers tend to spread locally along the bile duct. A locally advanced cancer might have grown into the liver, small bowel, pancreas or major blood vessels. This can mean that surgery is not an option (it is unresectable). The tests you had to stage your cancer shows whether surgery might be possible. Surgery for bile duct cancer is a major operation, and your surgeon has to consider if you are fit enough to have the surgery. --Bile duct cancer that has spread elsewhere Doctors call cancer that has spread to another part of the body secondary or metastatic cancer. It means that the cancer has spread through the bloodstream or lymphatic system to organs further away. The most common places for bile duct cancer to spread are the lungs, bones and the lining of the abdomen (called the peritoneum). But it can spread to other areas.

05.01.2022 Today is Rare Cancer Day. In Australia, a Rare cancer is defined as one which has fewer than 6 diagnoses per 100,000 of the population and a Less Common cancer is one which has fewer than 12 diagnoses per 100,000 of the population. Each year 52,000 Australians are diagnosed with a rare or less common cancer; 25,000 won't survive.... Rare and Less Common Cancers claim more lives than other cancers combined and are the leading cause of death in baby boomers. Cancer Support Angels is here to help raise awareness, but also to give you a voice - so if you have, or have had a rare or less common cancer, please comment on this post with the type of cancer and a fact about it people may not know.
