I have cystic breasts...and since this is breast cancer awareness month and I'm gettting older...I should really do one. My breasts have a whole bunch of hard lump like things called cysts. How do I distingush between them and something else? After I have a bunch of cysts and most of them are quite big. And they feel like what most would consider cancer/tumor. My doctor told me I have cystic breast a while back...so they aren't a whole bunch of tumors...but how do I distingush between the two? Or is the doctor the only one who can do that/ is she the only one who can proplerly do a breast exam on me or what? I forgot to ask her...anyone else know?

I have been newly diagnosed with HPV 16 (high risk). I got the pap done, and it was normal, but after reading all these other questions and answers and although the pap was normal, im thinking my cervix has cancer already but the doctors dont want to deal with me so they told me my pap was normal. Can you have a normal pap and still have active HPV. When will I die of cancer? I can't live with myself, and worst of all, i gave my boyfriend oral sex, and im scared to death now iv exposed myself to oral cancer!!! Should I just end my life? I want to stop suffering!

i have been experiencing chest painsfor a long time. i've seen the doctor and had electrocardio tests and some other general tests and examinations. a few days ago he concluded that the pain was probably being caused by my jionts and muscless (my ribs). he told me to take an advil or tylenol when the pain occurs.
i am wondering if taking daily low dose aspirin (81mg) would be an appropriate way to prevent the pain.

Today i took a deep breath and i got this really sharp pain threw my whole torso.. it felt like someone had stabbed me.. worst pain I've ever felt.. and I've been coughing a lot today, and it kind of feels like something is in my throat and i can taste something.. but i was helping weld something today and was breathing in a lot of different smells and things in the air (no mask but i was looking away) and since then all this has started? Could it just be a cold starting.. normal sharp pains.. or could it be an infection starting in my lungs? Thanks in advance.

i do.. i've tried SO many different glasses throughout my life and they all cause me this problem. when i take off my glasses, you can see these dents. they're not deep but the area is slightly darker than the rest of my nose.

i also wear contacts but sometimes i really can't be bothered in the mornings, so i just wear my glasses. and even when i can be bothered wearing contacts, i get lazy about taking them off at night (but i always do take them off). so i wish i could wear glasses without that effect on the nose.

do all you glasses wearers have this problem with your nose? what do you do about it??

WARNING -- LOTS OF DETAIL -- MAY UPSET SOME

Someone I know has advanced colorectal cancer. The tumor perforated his intestines recently. As a result, he's had a colostemy and is currently being treated with chemo. He has no history of hemmrhoids. Since the perforated intestine/colostemy, he's had considerable rectal bleeding, apparently of sufficient volume to be compared to the first day or two of a menstrual cycle. The bleeding has not increased/decreased since the chemo began a couple of weeks ago.

His doctor is out of town, the on call physician won't address the issue, and we've not found much online to tell us why this could be. Again, it's not hemmhroids and since he has the colostemy, shouldn't be anything related to his intestines. Furthermore, we've read that tumors don't bleed so it shouldn't be that either. Does anyone have any ideas on possibilities/places to research?

Thank you.

I took my 15 yo to the dentist. It wasn't a dentist we've been to, but they could see her quickly & they provided all services.

They said she needed 3 root canals. My daughter said that she's never had any pain where she needs 1 of them, they said it's normal. They said that they can't do her root canals there (even though their ad says they do them) & would refer us to another office (which would eat up the insurance $).

After that we were to schedule another visit with their office for the crowns & fillings, but their financial guy wanted me to set up an account and pay the 2500+ now. I questioned why I was paying for services before they were even scheduled. I was asked if that was a probIem. I said that I work in a hospital and we don't do it that way. I was asked if I thought I was being ripped off, & I said yes a little. He stood up and said we were done, there was nothing further to say. And then he wouldn't give me a copy of what they were going to bill the insurance.

A friend of mine is taking corticosteroids (in pill form) for what the doctor has told her is an ulcer of the cornea. I read on wikipedia that TOPICAL corticosteroids are strongly contra indicated for this condition. I just wanted to make sure... is taking them orally a good treatment option for this condition? I dont understand how topical administration would be all that different, but of course im no optometrist. Could someone explain? Thanks.

My mother has been sick now for about a week with a stomach virus and was told by a nurse she needs to replace her electrolytes. She does not like sports drinks and has been only drinking water but is still weak from no appetite and not eating. Can she use pedialyte or is there something like pedialyte for adults?

Ok, Where to start.

I have been living with extreme anxiety for the past 15 years it's gotten a lot worse the past year.
I have gone in and out of the Doctors and hospitals.
Lately I have been very afraid of possibly having an abnormal heart. So I recently have had numerous EKGs, Halter tests, and most recently a ECO plus a stress test. Everything has come back positive. I still worry. I still think I feel palptations and wonder if something is wrong. More then one doctor has told me it is probably do to stress or anxiety.
I'm learning to cope and accept.
On Monday I am having a Ultrasound done on my gall bladder, liver, kidneys, and spleen. I recently had blood test and my ALT and AST were higher then normal. The dr said they are only slightly high and I have nothing to worry about. So I insisted on tests.
I'm afraid of maybe having cancer. I am bloated all the time. I have irregular bowelments, plus what else could be causing the high alt and ast numbers? I need advice.

Symptoms Include:
- Abdominal Pain/Discomfort
- Change in Bowl Stuff (constipation/the big D)
- Fatigue
- Weakness
- Blood on Toliet Paper (back end)
- Fever that comes and goes
- Lower back discomfort (I do have scoliosis, but it's never felt like this)
- Pain in abdomin feels like I'm hungry/full/or very uncomfortable
- Wakes me up at night for no reason
- Restless
- Trouble going to bathroom because it hurts (my rear end)

I have X-Rays on Friday that were clear except for the fact I had some stool backed up in my colon. So, I was put on a laxative to clean it out. I've been on it for 2 days, but I still have the pain. Ultra Sound showed nothing either. If this pain isn't gone by Monday, we're scheduling the test where I drink barium and they do X-Ray's. Please tell me what you think this is. I was afraid it was Colon Cancer because my grandfather had it and I know Crohn's Disease (sometimes) goes with Colon Cancer. Could it be that?

Don't say "go to the Doc/ER".
