my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer a few years ago. She had a mastectomy and reconstruction, where they took tissue from her stomach for the reconstruction. They said her chances of a re-occurance were like .1%, something really small. well she did get it back. and she had to go through chemo and radiation. my question is:

what are the chances of ME getting it now? or any type of cancer? would they be more than normal?

Just something I've always wondered.... Sometimes after you poop you have to pee... right? So, if a man is sitting there doing his business and suddenly gets the urge to let it flow, what does he do?... stand up really fast or tuck it in? lol.

have never been diagnosed. My life is extremely screwed up right now. I keep trying to be strong and get through it. Yet there are more times where Iam extremely depressed,putting things off and sometimes think of suicide. I get real scared and basically have panic attacks on a regular basis. The only thing that keeps me going is I get to see my children every weekend. Whenever I think of them during the week, I start to cry. If it wasn't for them, I would already be gone. All my problems are my fault. I just really have no more fight in me. I don't have alot of cash for a psychiatrist. I have insurance but copay is still a bit. I guess I'm just needing someone else's opinion. There isn't really anyone here I can talk to. I have friends but they have their own problems. I try not to burden other people. I have family but they are all out of state. They dont need to be worried about me so far away. Iam just so tired from this all Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.Thank you

Do you sometimes see happy families on reality tv shows and you wish you were as happy as they are?
Just wondering because my favorite show is Run's House and they seem like such a perfect happy family.
I wish I was part of their family!

My dad left for Tuscon, Arizona, which is like 2,000 miles away from me, I'm being bullied at school by this super mean girl, and I'm afraid of getting my shots! I don't get another for 5 years but I'm so afraid of them! How do I relax and not be afraid. I feel nervous and uneasy all the time. Also, where I got my shot on my arm, a freaking month ago so the soreness should be gone, i feel so tense and that muscle won't relax. HELP ME!!! Please no mean answers about me scared of shots. Also no scary ones that say it will hurt really bad. Also, How do I feel better about my dad being gone?! Please help!

I had blood work taken and found out that I have slightly low blood sugar. My doctor suggested that I make an appointment with a nutritionist and have her explain to me what types of foods i should be eating and when to eat them.

My insurance ran out (I was on a state plan, but because of my age they dropped me - i'm 20 years old) I have not yet gotten new insurance - my mother is in the process of finding insurance for the whole family. So I will no be able to go to the nutritionist until I have insurance.

I think that my body is probably craving sweets becuase of my low blood sugar! However I also know that if I eat sugar it will raise my blood sugar and then drop it.

Until I am able to see a professional, what kind of foods should I be eating to avoid these cravings and keep my sugar steady?
