These results were flagged on a recent blood test. The doctor doesn't seem too concerned...any thoughts?

Bilirubin....<0.1
WBC....3.8
RDW.....15.5

These are the only results that came back as not normal. A little history...

I am a 2 year breast cancer survivor. I did AC chemo and 5 weeks of radiation, along with a double mastectomy with TRAM reconstruction. I don't know if any of that matters. Thanks!!

I let him borrow some of my swim trunks, that had been washed and clean and unused for a month or so. Could this have caused him to get the warts. He did also have sex with a stripper in this same time span, but said that she had no signs of warts.

It just seems as if this person cannot just have a "few beers" and end it there... Not that this person is a new drinker either, just lately I have been noticing it more. No, the person is not under stress. Thanks

Have now found out at age 38 I have osteopenia after a bone scan and now am concerned if steroid use has caused this will it have caused avascular necrosis too. I have had hip pain and normal xrays show no problems. My gp doesn't think I'm high risk and won't refer me on but I think it would put my mind at rest to have an MRI.

I have bowel cancer which is inherited within my family. My girlfriend is pregnant and I was told by someone, that when the baby is born, we would have to take a paternity test, to find out if the baby has bowel cancer. Is it true?

I have a sore throat from having relux so bad in my sleep last nite I woke up at 5 am dreaming I was suffocating and when I finally got my senses about me, it was my stomach acid boiling up into my throat. I almost threw up in my bed.
I am thinking I should probably see about getting this fixed. Has anyone done this procedure or had it themselves? What can you tell me about the post operative result?

I'm asking because my boyfriend is recently diagnosed with Diabetes. The past two months, with all the Metformin, Avandia, Lantus, Novalog, needles, gauze, alcohol, meter strips, etc. We are struggling. His health insurance only provides $1200 gross towards prescriptions PER YEAR. We are very quickly coming up on that $1200 and it hasn't even been 6 months. I'm curious to know, are we doing something wrong? Why can't we afford this treatment? It seems like a good many Americans have Diabetes, how does everyone else afford the many prescriptions? We're freaking out, because we don't have the money for rent, gas, food, etc. We feel like the Diabetes treatment has to come first, but all these co-pays for specialists and prescriptions has drained our wallets, we can't buy food, nevermind entertainment. How does everyone else afford this?! What can we do?

I had it a couple of years ago and ever since I get a sort of momentary feeling like my brain has not kept up with my eye movements and I think it is coming back but it doesn't. I was told that it was viral by the doc. Since then, I have been scared to lie down fully at night and so sleep with my pillows well propped up.Anyone have any tips about this or ways that I can build confidence about it? Thanks
