Has anyone had this? I have a picture of the ultrasound - it shows a cyst that has something growing inside and it casts a dark shadow. I can't even feel this, so if I didn't go for my first mammo, I wouldn't have known. What can I expect from the surgery? Does anyone think it might be cancerous?

Just wondering- breast cancer is effecting more and more women every day... could the electric cord hanging from outlet to the dryer (as we dry our hair each day) be causing the increase?
Can the constant exposure to these electric waves across this part of our bodies be the issue- has this been looked into? And if this has not been studied in detail- why not?
Thank you-
My mom is a survivor.

25 Million dead, 5.6 million of those children since the beginning of the epidemic. Millions more orphaned when their parents die. 10,000 a day die from this treatable, preventable disease. But it preys in poverty, neglect, drug abuse, hopelessness, and ignorance.

What can we do, what will YOU do to help overcome this epidemic that has become a plague like no other that is ravaging Africa, South America, India, China, Russia and yes, the United States.

We've overcome major diseases in the past, this disease is worse then all the rest, almost killed more then all the wars of the 20th century..... And yet? Every life matters! Just as if it was your own friend, mother, child that was suffering and dying.

Please consider the impact of this disease and what we can do to overcome it. Please post your solutions to this issue, learn what you can do to help and take action! Please do not wait for your government to do something, what can we do?

Thank you,
-Rob

i have had red palms for several years, I used to have normal white palms but then they changed to red. They itch occassionally, but there are no spots or anything. The Drs. are stumped and I've tried everything under the sun. I'm sick of it,anyone have the same problem and had it cured? im in basically good health, I eat right and exercise and am in pretty good shape, Also my palms and my arms up to my shoulders and most of my back and chest appear BLUE under an ultraviolet light. If that helps I would appreciate any INTELLIGENT advice.

I didnt even read it, but so many other valid cancer questions have been asked not being featured. Cheers to Yahoo for not giving the normal person any exposure with questions on this disease. Its only important if its someone with a famous name.

A friend of mine has noticed boils coming up on her legs does anyone know what can cause this? She hasn't yet seen a Dr although I have advised she should for maybe some lotion. Can this be caused by shaving and maybe using someone elses razor? Unsure!?
Thanks.

i've been getting really bad allergies lately, and i take alavert (and sometimes allegra, when i feel like breaking into 2 [don't like swallowing pills]) and it helps temporarily. i have to carry allergy eyedrops with me cuz my eyes will get red too. also i've become mildly allergic to certain fruits. and this morning i woke up with a swollen uvula (the little thing hanging in the back of your throat). i drank plenty of water, so it's fine now. but i'm just really tired of having to deal with my allergies. is there anything i can do to lessen them and make them not so severe??? i'd really appreciate the help and/or experiences from fellow allergy sufferers.

If you know the giver does not have herpes, is it safe without a condom? Now I know there are different types of herpes that can turn into more contagious herpes. Can a simple open sore in someone's mouth lead to genital herpes?

I'm being tested right now for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and other disorders. However, my doctor wouldn't tell me what these other disorders are. What other disorders have the same symptoms as PCOS?

I have just been diagnosed with osteoarthritis. So, I am new to this. I was just wondering if someone could please tell me the reason to why you get this disease and if it is anything that a doctor could give you to cure it? Will medication help this disease or will it just be a waste of time trying to take medication for it? I have been in so much pain for the last few weeks behind this illness and I am currently going to the therapist to do some exercises on the foot that is messed up. I was just wondering if I could get some kind of advice on this sickness and if there is somethinf I can do or get to help my siguation?

Hi everyone. Over the past couple of months I have not felt quite right. I believe something is not right with my body. If u can read the symptoms I have been going through, maybe u can give me some suggestions of what might possibly be wrong with me. I'm not asking u for an actual diognosis...just some suggestions that I can bring up with me doctor tomorrow.
SYMPTOMS(occur randomly throughout each day)
faintness
dizziness
i feel as though i am high(and no i am not, i am pregnant!)
blurred vision, and I sometimes start to black out
occasinally, numbness and tingling on my toes, feet, and legs
sweating
nausea
tenseness(its really hard to relax)
*usually when I eat something the symptoms will subside and I will feel normal again, occasionally (like todAY) they will continue for awhile even after eating.
*At night I feel very dehydrated and no matter how much I drink, it doesn't help
I am getting worried and think I need medical attention
Well thank u all who respond to this!

It seems like all of a sudden they get puffy and swollen and then by the next day they "deflate" and get chapped and painful. Finally, the skin on my lips starts to peel. What is going on and what could I do for this? Wearing chapstick doesn't even seem to help, it seems like my lips go into a cycle.

My mother has an anurysm on her aorta. We want to go to Colorado Springs with an altitude of 6800 ft. Will this altitude have any effect on the anurysm?
