My mom had an endoscopy and was diagnosed with H. pylori bacteria. She doesnt have an Ulcer, just the bacteria, they prescribed her antibiotics. her symptoms were Nausea and Dizziness that got better with taking an anti anxiety medicine. She was like that for 2 1/2 weeks. Do you think the H. Pylori caused the Nausea, or do you think it was just anxiety and stress. She has been really depressed and weepy lately, and before this happened, she was very stressed and anxious. So it might be that?

My best friend was diagnose with breast cancer about 3 months ago. She got one of her breast removed and is know receiving chemotheraphy. I beleive she has 3rd stage of cancer. She will be receiving Chemotherapy for 8 months followed by hormonal, radiation. My question is how will she be feeling for the next year. I'm so used to her and we used to work together but know she is in disability. I'm having a hard time being around her beacause I'm afraid of doing something wrong or not doing right. I want the best for her. Should i give her space or maybe spend more time around. I've also notice that she usually tired now so im afraid of visitng her because maybe she just wants to sleep.

My Mom lost her battle to Ovarian Cancer a month ago today. Right after she past I did cry, and felt that I missed her, but part of me couldn't fully let go and release my emotions. I still think I was in the 'staying strong mode' - like how I was when I was by her side as she battled this merciless disease. My sister and I kept saying, we're sad now, but everyone around us is falling apart. Is there something wrong with us? A few people have said that one day it will really hit you -- like you ran into a brick wall.. and then you crumble. I did the Relay for Life on Friday and was so pround of myself, as were others. But, yesterday and today (the 1 month annivresary of her death) I feel tons anger, and great sadness. I'm wondering if it is truly hitting me now. I was doing so well. Do you think that I am regressing? Or do you think that it is normal that I'm feeling this right now -- after I thought I was doing okay.

Just like aids is passed down to children, is the same true with genital herpes? And if the answer is yes, then isnt it inevitable that everyone will eventually be diagnosed with genital herpes, since about 1/3 of the population today already has it?

Well, if it was on a toe it would be called a corn, but there's a callous or wort-type lump right where my index finger hits the mouse button. Is there anything I can do about it?

I had woken up early this morning , I only got 3 hours sleep, I felt ok, just really typical waking up too early. I ended up going back to sleep but with my pants on, no covers, the AC at full throttle. I slept for about at hour and woke up cold, I started to feel like chilly, shivering and feeling real , just cold. My skin even looked cold. I do remmeber waking like that one time, years ago, and my mom said it was anxiety attack or seomthing. I dont have a fever which was the weird part. I was starting to get nervous about it cause I started to feel almost lathargic but able to, I was kinda scared. My girlfriend said she was hot but I wasnt and I wantd to get up and raise the AC therm.stat. I still feel a bit strange but im ok. I started thinking if I was bleeding internaly, of course I would think that, but I have no pain.

Why and on which cases are surgery and chemotherapy used with cancer? My grandmother has a 2cm cancerous tumour in her colon, near her anus. Its in the early stages. How dangerous do you think it is? She's in moderate health, nothing else bad going on, but the downside is she's 70 years old. The cause of her cancer was frequent constipation.

So what do think they should/would do?
