I read a book which said that if you have to change your sleep patterns, your odds of getting cancer go way up.

I know there are a lot of us who have taken a job like that for a year or more and think we have adjusted OK. Sometimes there is a killer schedule like midnight to morning one week; early starts the next - no effort made to plan a transition.

Will this damage us long-term? The book read like it was recognised and would eventually be common knowledge. Huh, a bit late for us all! Am I right to be wary?

You always hear of such things with firemen or police or army being put down to stress. But they are groups who are constitutionally expected to have no right to object. When they die, they are honored. How fair is that? How much of the stress is from weird schedules?

Is distorting your sleep patterns a trigger-factor for cancer? It's a scary thought, because it is so preventable. And do people who sleep longer, live longer, as a group?

I was diagnosed with cancer of the larynx in its final stages in April 2000. I was by error given twice the amount of radiation a human can take in his lifetime, I then had to have a tracheostomy as I had refused the removal of my voice box. I then landed up with Peritonites which almost killed me. I then had a major fungal infection behing my brains at my nape of the neck - another life taking threat. I then began bleeding non stop from my mouth, nose, throat and the doctors got my family together for last good byes. I always bounced back. I as on date breathe through a hole in my throat called a "stoma" and have not even had a sip of water in the last six years as both the food and air passages have closed down. I feed through a tube inserted in my stomach called a "peg". I am a fitness freak and work out for an hour everyday and run a good 4 km. Can anyone try and explain why am I still alive? I mantain my health, am physically fit and work normally and do not feel handicaped.

I was diagnosed with lesion about 2 cm around (so small yet) on right lobe of my liver in Jan of 05 have had ct after ct and mri done with and without contrast and now they are wanting to do one more mri with contrast and thats with yet ANOTHER ct with contrast being done then after this mri they will biopsy, the dr says not much has changed but they can see it and it is there it may have grown a hair but nothing to worry about I have several ?? such as I am not on contraseptives so at my age of 30 what is more likely an adenoma or hemangioma> I have been told it could be either or should I ask which is more common? how common is it in my age group? treatment options and chances of posible reoccurenc? also my husband and I are talking about getting me unfixed so we can have kids I had 7 in my family die of cancers my parents being the last and I am the only one left alive can this be a genetic issue?

The big question is WHY ARE THEY WAITING TO BIOPSY SO LONG AND SO UNCERTAIN YET??

What causes a person with End Stage Renal Disease to have severe low blood pressure before dialysis, and after dialysis? There is no other medical evidence of why it runs generally low all the time, ranging from 70/27 etc....even sometimes lower.

I have serious acid reflux, big time, all day every day. I have always believed that beer was one of the good things in life... like beautiful women, Marvin Gaye, summer rain or children laughing. I have recently discovered however, that red wine helps my stomach. Is that weird, or is it in my head? I seem to remember Jesus drinking wine for his stomach, but I was a kid. Is there any scientific reason why? Just wondering...

Thanks-- Waiting to die of stomach cancer

We haven't had sex in a few months because I've been in New York. He told me after he got diagnosed so I went to get tested and my doctor says I don't have a trace of his STD. Is it possible they can develop by other means or is he a cheating bastard?
