Put simply my mom has several doctors that have conflicting opinions. She has gotten 2nd opinions and none of the DR's agree on anything. No body even says what stage it is. After 3 mamograms we knew something was up, but they had never said they thought it was cancer. They sent her for a biopsy ( as in the past) but this was not a needle, this was with a scalpel. They did ultra sound, and MRI. She went to a radiologist who said he could not do 8 weeks treatment because it was close to the heart. So her oncologist recomends masectomy. She called the Radioloigist back and told him the recomendation, he said he would not do it if it was him. He said MRI can be wrong, they are so sensitive. He would rather risk heart damage down the road.
Has anybody had to make the treatment decision on thier own, and should they tell her what stage she is in. The biopsy was positive on AUG 1. They say it might be 2 spots and might be in the lymh nodes.

After I folded it inside out, I say that the inside was covered in tiny bloodred spots and splotches.
I first assumed that I was bleed ing, but I wasn't. The red dots dodn't show through to the other side either. I immediately chucked the shirt and scrubbed my back, which, as far as I can tell, made the rash go away.

But what was it? Bacteria? Mold or fungus? What? And how did it get into the inside of my shirt?

I went to the doctor Friday because I have been having many of the symptoms of diabetes for a couple of weeks and a few others for several months. The doctor said that he thought it was most likely diabetes but then he checked my sugar level and it came back well within the normal range. I hadn't had much sugar for several days because I really had trouble at work after having a Coke. I hadn't eaten much of anything that day, and I had been essentially working out all morning at work (I work retail and spent the hours before the doctor's visit unloading a truck full of heavy merchandise). The doctor is going to do a 3hr glucose test sometime this week if nothing pops up in the blood work. Is it possible that, given the circumstances before the random check, I had managed to get the glucose level normal but that I still have diabetes or is it more likely that something else is causing the problem? There is obviously something wrong, but so far we haven't figured out what it is.

Shortly after going to sleep I have some sort of spasm in my chest that jolts me wide awake as if I had just recieved an electric shock. This can happen EVERY time I go to sleep---many times a night and causes me to get only one or two hours of sleep a night.
It seems like when I go to sleep, my body relaxes too much, and something shuts down (heart--lungs--stomach--esophegus) and my brain jump starts it again. I dont seem to be gasping for air and I dont have a fast pulse after this happens. Any help out there??

I just was wondering if the new Buttermilk Ranch dip from Helluva good dips gluten free? It says "food starches" it doesnt say if its corn starch or anything. I know the original ranch is gluten free but I was just wondering if the new ranch is. I have celiac disease, so it does matter if it's a little bit of gluten.

Thank You for your answers.
