She was just diagnosed last week, and was told not to worry because the lump was so small that she will probably just have a lumpectomy and no chemo. This morning she woke up with blood running from her nipple [which I know is a sign that the cancer may be more advanced than first thought.] Then she admitted that she has lost 2 toenails and is working on the 3rd one. And all this has only been since last Thursday. This is my best friend's mom.My BF has 2 sisters,One died at 48 of matastatic cancer. The 2nd has extreamly advanced lung cancer,but has lived way beyond the 6 weeks she was given. The mother has had several skin cancers removed before her breast cancer diagnosis last week. My BF asked me to please research this issue. We do not intend to tell mom, but to discuss it with her Dr. My friend is completely involved with her mom's treatments. Thanks for your help

Ok so for the first 5 days of summer, I didn't brush my teeth because I couldn't find the toothbrush. Then my teeth turned dark yellow and I have been brushing 2-3 times a day ever since. It has been 3 months now and I have only seen a slight difference. Some tips on what to do to help make my teeth white without involving the dentist?

Do you get energetic? Or lazy; tired??
What are the signs of abuse?
And lastly, what is the obviously bad **** you get from it, like cocaine users get nosebleeds...what do percocet users get??

Please don't ask me why I'm asking this, because frankly I can't justify myself.
Thanks to anyone who answers and....yeah.

okay. I was treated for chlamydia and my boyfriend got tested. well he got the results and they said negative for anything so that day all we really did was have oral sex & had sex with a condom. then the next day the clinic called apologizing and telling him they gave him the wrong results and he was positive. is there any way i could've gotten reinfected? maybe no vaginally but in the throat as well?

25 white female....acne and red face inherited....now cystic acne started about three years ago.......have tried pro-active, store bought CRAP, and seen dermatologists who put big needles into my face inecting something that did not work. All topical products I've used make my skin dry and flaky; even when I use moisturizers to combat those effects.

I am SO SICK of this crap. It seems like I have at least one cyst/acne thing on my face all year long. They take forever to go away and even after they are gone (at least not very visible) I still feel a hard spot where it was.

Anyone out there have/had a same experience and can offer advise?

Today was my first day in college. I couldn't help but notice all the smokers on campus.

Why do so many college kids smoke cigarettes? Plus, how do you feel about college kids smoking?

my mother thinks anxiety (I get panic attacks when I'm in stressful situations....like driving sometimes....
is a chemical imbalance
She tells me she wants to be in denial of this.
She doesn't like the idea of medication and neither do I, but there are days (PMS) when I need some sort of tranquilizer...I get extra nervous.
Exercizing has helped me, but I might need meds as backup.

The fact that she wants to take me to a psychiatrist, makes me question my own sanity

No one in my family understands this

Note: I don't want to be put on anti-depressants

im not prenant,but ive been having problems that even people in the medical profession have suggested that should have an ultrasound done the problem is i dont have health insurance,therefore the docs never ordered me one and seems my only hope is to somehow get the er to do one but as they only ''treat the emergency'' what can i say to have them determine it as an emergency,please there must be some compassionate people out there who can relate to the horrors of trying to get help without insurance

i was sent to the lab today to have a blood culture drawn. They took the 2 tubes out of one vein and told me to come back in 30 mins to have it taken out of another vein. I had an emergency come up within the family and didnt go back.
Will they still be able to run the test without the other set?

I know this is kind of weird to ask people I dont know, but I have had infections before and known right away and treated it; but this time a culture came back from the Doc saying I had one. I have no symptoms whatsoever but he wants to prescribe me a pill to make it go away. I am wondering if this will make me sick if I leave it alone or if there is anything wrong w/out taking medicines since it isn't bothering me? The Doc office is closed right now or else I would call him. Thanks in advance for any FACTS you all know of. :)

Okay, I'm 15 and have to get my annual physical. I haven't had it done in a couple of years. I really need to know what kind of things they check at a physical. I'm kind of scared because I don't want them to check "down there" or anything. I get really embarassed and everything. I really don't want to go. I'm not sexually active or anything. Will they have to check EVERYTHING? Please let me know what they did at your physicals when you were my age. Thanks!!!
