My father in law recently was diagnoised with lung cancer. He has two growths in his lower left lung. The size is small, one is 7 mm and the other is 12 mm. he hasn't smoked in 5 yrs or more. What are his chances of full recovery?

I have been getting these now and then for many years, lately it's been a couple a month. It's a pimple like spot on my inner labia. Never anywhere else. I get one at a time. It's small, painful, and hard like a pimple. Sometimes I can get it to pop like a pimple. Just recently my BF showed me a spot he had on his penis. I have looked and looked on the internet but can't find anything that fits the description. Does anyone have an idea?

I know a person who has bone spurs on both heels of his feet and he now has another bone spur coming in on his left heel, besides the one that is already there. He gets frequent cortisone injections in the heels so he is able to walk and get around because the heels become so inflamed and full of inflammation. Is it possible that bone spurs can grow again after surgery to remove them? What's the point in having surgery to remove them if they can grow back and here you go again with the same problem? My friends doctor told me he only does surgery on bone spurs as a last resort before everything else fails. Thanks for the answers on this issue.

Its only just started. I have been getting headaches at the top of my head/ temples for about a week or two. Went to my doctor, she said it was ok and my blood pressure was fine too. But now the teeth on the right side of my face are feeling achey, and then a bit numb alternatively, kind of in the roots, and theres a really warm sensation spreading up the right side of my face, and it also feels a bit numb. I'm a bit worried, and I don't think my doctor really took my worries into consideration, so any opinions/ideas would be appreciated.

I'm 14 if that helps

I've been feeling very odd lately, my hands and feet are always really cold, when I stand up I get dizzy, and my vision will sometimes blur for a second, but A few days ago it started getting worse my if I cross my legs or bend them my feet will turn a darker color its starting to scare me,but Idon't know what to do.

This morning I was on the computer and I was leaning on my arm, it felt strange so I stifted my wieght ,then i looked back at the computer screen and for some reason I couldn't read, it was like i was reading in slow motion monotone but i couldn't understand or remember anything I tryed to read, I grabbed the closest book to me and it was the same way..


Does anyone know what can cause this, it's very scary, im 22 and a female. I don't smoke or do drugs.

How do you encourage someone who has not only just been diagnosed with aggressive cancer, but who has been told she can only hope to add a few years to her life... but not be completely cured of the cancer?

I plan to be there for her and encourage her as much as possible, but I just want to know what things either help you or helped you to keep going... what was something that helped you through the chemo and many doctor visits... ?

I know I am selfish in that I want her to be around as long as possible, as she is my friend.

I was looking up previous Q&A on Paxil side effects... withdrawals, excessive weight gain, all of which sounds like a terrible nightmare!! I have realized that I have pretty bad anxiety, I get killer migraines, jitters, my heart races so fast it makes me wanna throw up. hard time falling asleep, hard time concentrating, always very anxious, ect. and reading these answers made me feel even more anxious and nervous. My doc just prescribed me to the generic version of Paxil and I took my first pill yesterday, I have been trying to lose weight which has worked (I recently lost 10lbs) and I really am afraid to gain any. I know meds affect everyone one differently, but I really feel I need some more advice on this here. What do I do? The withdrawals seem to be just retched from what I have read. Is it worth it to try? It seems like a lose lose situation.

I am having a biospy of a soft tissue mass (on the back of knee) next week. How long does it take before they will know if it cancerous? It is a CT guided biopsy. If anyone could explain how the biopsy is done that would be great too! I would like to go in there a little prepared. Thanks!!
