Hi, Janine here. I'm on GRACE's Community Outreach Team. 

APRIL is Head and Neck Cancer Awareness Month.  I hate that any of us need to know anything about how to manage and live with a cancer diagnosis.  That's why it's good to have expert-mediated info on the subject. Our mission is to empower patients, caregivers, and health professionals to become direct partners in cancer care.

Check out our current playlist on Head and Neck Cancer. 

GRACE is helping the University of Washington SPEAC Lab to invite people who have/had oral, head, and neck cancer (with or without total laryngectomy) to answer survey questions.  More information is available at https://sites.uw.edu/speaclab/, including a link to participate in the study. 

First of all...

A Big Thank You to all who participate in clinical trials!  You make advances in care possible.

So I'm worried I may have brain Tumor.. 

has anybody experienced this that could tell me any symptoms? 
 

Hi, I'm hoping to get some advice. I've been having quite a few medical problems lately and I'm constantly stressing over it now and worrying myself sick. Sorry in advance that this is long and kind of all over the place.. A month ago or so I was having chest pain on and off and my doctor put me on medication for an ulcer, which seemed to help some. But then a little over 2 weeks ago I started having horrible upper abdominal pain, I was seen in the ER three times before being admitted for very high liver enzymes and high bilirubin. They tested me for hepatitis, which was negative.

If somebody has blood cancer than how can he/she can identify it by its symptoms?

GRACE would like to start conversations about other types of Cancers! We are hopeful to begin providing the same great information for Head and Neck Cancers. Feel free to reach out through these forums. We are happy you are here.
