My son is twelve and had chemo for non hogkins lymphoma when he was 4.He is now begining to worry about whether or not he will be able to have children ( I know its sad as he's so young but he's been watching a documentry about infertility)
Has anyone had chemo in childhood or had children who have had chemo and gone on to have children?
I feel its a little early to discuss this with his oncologist and there would be no way of knowing yet anyway.

Is it illegal for a store to sell items that have been expired for a long time. I thought you were suppose to pull the item off the shelf. I worked in a store and the owner made sure that himself and his workers kept up with the dates on the products. Dont get me wrong your not going to be able to keep track of all products. But this store has things that is expired since like 1-2 years ago. If someone get sick from one of there products could this store be introuble?

I've always wondered about this. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Randomly white dots will appear on your fingernails, or below them I suppose... What in the world are they? How are they caused??

I think she is suffereing from acute paranoiia, bi polar disease, and possibly scitsophrenia. My boyfriend and his sisters know she needs help. She was in a mental hospital before, but they let her out. Is there an anonymous way to get her commited, she wont seek help on her own.

She fights with people on the street about stuff she makes up... its wierd. HELP!

I've been on Wellbutrin for a couple of weeks now. It does have the side effect I was told it would, which is appetite supression. However, my issue is that, since I'm never ragingly hungry anymore, I often forget to eat. My hunger doesn't distract me so much that I stop what I'm doing to eat.
My concern however is what effect eating so little will have on my metabolism? I have an extra 15 lbs on me I wouldn't mind losing, so I'm at no risk for starvation. But I want to know what do I have to do with my eating to prevent any changes to my metabolism where I start to store weight because of the body's starvation reaction.

The social worker is telling my retired mom (nearly 65) to deplete her IRA (her only savings) to pay for very expensive home health care (has no insurance and doesn't qualify) like TPN and nursing and such. Even if she did this, it wouldn't be enough to cover everything (she has cancer and it most likely will recur after this course of treatments).

Can the County hospital force her out like this? I don't think so but I'm unsure if anyone has any insight on this. The Dr. has been keeping her in for this reason until the chemo treatment reduces the tumor so she can eat again.

Thanks in advance everyone, and please don't tell me about social services because she does not qualify (this is going on 5 months and it's a mute point, they won't do it...it's a crummy State system)

What is the difference between the two? Could they be told apart? Do they last the same amount of time?

Okay...I had a very bad day at school today. It seems that everything went wrong.
First of all, I must tell you that I never procrastinate. I always start things and study way before they are due. So today, my English teacher says I have a vocabulary test Thursday and my social studies teacher says I have a major unit test Friday. I would have studied over the weekend, but I didn't know.
Also, I have a lab for science due Wednesday which we just got today. During this lab, everything seemed to go wrong. My whole group was held up because one memember could not correctly answer a question a teacher asked her, and it took her about 20 minutes to get it right. We really rushed through it all, and I doubt it was very accurate.
I am now doing my five hours of homework. I am sooo stressed, and I haven't any idea what to do. I can hardly do my work! Please help me. What can I do (besides not doing it) to help me relieve all the stress?
