My uncle was diagnosed with lung, colon, and liver cancer. He was given 1-2 weeks to live. He and my aunt keep mentioning, that they will not see their 50th anniversary. It is next month. Would it be inconsiderate to "celebrate" it now? They have been together actually for 55 years. I suggested it to my MIL and she says it would be a thought, but neither of us is sure on how to approach it.

Just to be prepared for when I do get them. Holding my breath doesn't work, neither does water. Any 100 percent working remedies?

More than 3 months ago I broke my right wrist and severely sprained my left wrist in an accident. Now my right wrist appears to be 95% healed where as my left does not seem to be getting better. In fact, if I isolate the left wrist for a few days it becomes stiff and more painful than if I were to keep it in use. I can not apply any force on the wrist joint except for pulling movements. What does anyone out there think is the prob? Should I keep stretching and working it? I realize I need to seek therapy but I'm deployed in the military and won't be able get help for the wrist for another 2 months. Will that be to late for therapy to be any good to me? Any help or insight will be very appreciated.

My nephew saw the puberty video this week in school. He said that he learned more stuff and said it was nasty (I expected that), but he said one of his friends that was a girl that saw the female version and said she learned a little about male puberty. He wondered why the girls learned about the boys, but the boys didn't know anything about the girls. Can't say I blame him.

Ok my friend has a problem where it hurts her to breathe. She cant do anything and she also has a lot of shorntess of breath. She coughs A LOT. She has a history of cancer in her family. Her mom doesnt smoke and neither does she. This has just recently started. Her doctors cant figure out whats wrong. She has been to numerous doctors who all do the same tests and say the same things. What could be wrong with her? I dont want her to die or get worst, just because we DONT know what this is. If you know any websites that might be able to help then please give them to me! Thanks!

I just hate myself really. I don't like the way I look(though I guess I am attractive). I don't really think I'm good at anything, and the only thing that keeps me going everyday is a girl that a like that likes me but I can't seem to get her to go out with me. Which is another thing. I don't know why she likes me. I don't really know why anybody likes me. I also usually think about things other people usually don't think about.

My boyfriend needs to get his learner's permit. We live in the state of Pennsylvania, so you need a physical done within a year before you try to take the test. He has no health insurance and he is only 17 years old. How much do you think a physical exam would cost him? I'd be happy to hear any helpful words.

I recently (a couple of hours ago; not much, right...) posted a question regarding hotlines, e-mails, and websites that could help me with my suicidal tendencies. I felt that I would soon try to go through with it. I got some help from people that I would like to say thank you to (if any of you are reading this). The websites actually gave me hope. I'm sure that this is only temporary relief, but I will be taking action tomorrow to make things better.
Finally, here's my question: Why is it that when I was reading through the websites, that I cried while I was reading them?

I am beginning to think I am at any early stage of OCD. My compulsion is with fire. Before, I leave the house everyday, I check the ashtrays, curling irons, candles, coffee pot, oven, etc. at least three times, which more than half of them have not been used within 10 hours. Now, it has come to checking them while I am home. Nothing can be by the curling iron or stove or I get nervous sometimes even if they have been off for a long time. I am in my mid twenties. I have never experienced a fire, nor has anyone I have know, so where has this obsession come from????
