I have a dog that I never had allergys too. (I know I am allergic to cats) We just got a new puppy also and my allergys are going haywire. How come I was never allergic to my first dog and now that we got a puppy they are going crazy. I am sneezing and my nose will not stop leaking. I don't want to get rid of him, but I can't stay like this forever. Any help please!!!!

cancer as described in the dictionary is a foriegn tumor which develops in/on the body. a cancer can be removed surgically or with medication. the reason for the removing a cancer is that it can be matastisize or become malignent and cause damage to other vital organs by blocking the organs ability to function properly. i may have dumbdown the current therories on cancer but this is how i understand the condition. but the decision to operate and remove a tumors even though there is no evidence of it being malignent or growing is a mystery to me. surgery is the first option in a woman with tumors in female organs and medication is the first option in a man. is a man's sexual organs more important then a woman's. hysterectomies and mastectomies out number prostratectomies done in this country. in other countries surgery is the last resort regardless of the sex of the patient. maybe that's why foreign doctors come to america for practice for these operations. i am mad need answer.

Sometimes (3-6 times a day not everyday), I notice that my heart skips a beat. I told my physician about this and had an EKG done and it came back fine. Had chest X-rays and all came back clean. My doctors say that its normal. Does this happen to anyone? I suffer from panic so I'm thinking I am dieing. It's very uncomfortable because it freaks me out. Can they be mistaking even after all those tests? Help I'm a little nervous!
