Every month, featured experts answer your questions about coping with cancer.

For Any Cancer Diagnosis

• I have stage 4 cancer and after 5 years of receiving chemotherapy, I'm being told there are no more treatment options for me. Because I survived so long with a terminal diagnosis, some people in my family don't seem understand how serious this is. How can I help them understand?
• My dad has terminal cancer and he is currently at home. He has no insurance, but Medicaid is pending. We're trying to get hospice or some support. What can I do?
• My husband has advanced cancer, and he has severe pain in his lower back and legs. What does that mean?

For Breast Cancer

• My mother has stage 4 breast cancer and I'd like to know if she would be eligible for any clinical trials.

For Lymphoma

• My 90-year-old grandmother was just diagnosed with lymphoma, but was told that because it is at an advanced stage, no treatment will be done. What should we expect?
• I am 67 years old and have had non-Hodgkin's lymphoma for 7 years. I have decided not to receive further treatment. What will happen as I progress? Will I have pain?

For Ovarian Cancer

• I've been diagnosed with advanced ovarian cancer and I'd like to connect with others who are also in an advanced stage. Where should I look?
