My mom has a lump in her left breast but her lymph nodes are swollen and painful in her right breast. When i look up this on the internet it only says the lymph node is supposed to be swollen in the sae breast as the lump/cancer. She is supposed to have a biopsy in 2 weeks. She has a lump the size of a golf ball but the lump is not painful at all. Is this normal?
Does the cancer actulley hurt or not? What else can the lup be? I need help and support!

Cause it's really annoying and kinda gross. (but not too but I was just wondering if there's anything I can do about it or if I just leave it be) So yeah. hope that makes sense! Thanks!

I have a rash on my inner thigh and I have little white pimples with hairs growing out of them all over my inner thigh on both legs. My inner thigh is extremely sensitive to the touch since this rash appeared. I searched WebMD and it says if you have herpes you get a red rash with puss filled blisters, I want to know if I should be worried. The rash has been there for about 1 week.

PS. My girlfriend just had a yeast infection, Don't know if its related.
Also during her yeast infection we had sex and her vagina was dry and it caused my penis to pull and there is a small laceration right under the ridge of my penis, but I have never seen or noticed blisters on my penis, I went to a very good dermitologist, who looked at the penis injury and told me I have nothing to worry about, But with all these things I read on the internet how can I help it. Before I schedule another appointment with the doctor someone please tell me if Hair can grow out of a Herpes Blister

I don't get very many spots on my face or chest, but I get tons on my back. It's really strange and it really frustrates me. I take a shower pretty much everyday, try to use non-perfumed soaps and have tried e45 and medicinal soap. should I go to my doctor or should I try and see a dermatologist? what causes this kind of thing, is it eating badly? i'm 16 and i do my best to be healthy by excercising and keeping within the BMI for my height and weight.

"One out of three sexually active older adults infected with HIV has unprotected sex", according to a study by Ohio University researchers. A survey of 260 HIV-positive older adults found that of those having sex, most were male, took Viagra and were in a relationship.

Why do you think the majority of men who are HIV positive are having unprotected sex? I hope it's because they are in a relationship with someone else who is also HIV positive, but if they're not, why are they exposing their partner(s) to HIV? Why aren't these people taking responsibility for their actions?

Here's the article from Science Daily:

I have M.S. and lately I have noticed that many foods taste very unpleasant. I see my neurologist tomorrow and am afraid that if I bring this up, he's going to think I'm crazy.

Has anyone else with M.S. experienced this symptom?

And please, don't try to sell me the latest "miracle" cure or diet plan...I don't need that kind of advice.

Two years ago I experienced several consecutive months of emotional trauma. Since then I have been almost unable to feel any kind of joy or satisfaction from any activity. In spite of being continuously treated with strong doses of anti-depressants the situation has not improved (although it shows no signs of worsening). I am aware that the region between psychology and neurology is a grey area (no pun intended), but I am wondering if there is a medical condition with the characteristics I have described.

First of all, so you'll know how I feel about my breasts - I don't like them.They sag too much and there's too much of a size difference. I've cried trying to find a bra. And when I loose weight, they shrink down to nothing and I look flat chested without bra on. The surgeon gave me a choice of a lumpectomy or mastectomy. With the lumpectomy, I would have to have radiation, and possibly more surgeries if they don't get it all. It's the smaller breast, so threre would be even more of a difference, and it would be misshapen. It's the type that hasn't spread, so with the mastectomy (I'd have them both removed) it would be over and done with. I'd only have to recover from the surgery, then I could get on with my life. I hear prosthetics are uncomfortable, though. If it turns out I can't except it, I could always have them reconstructed. And if a man can't accept it, then he doesn't love me enough. What would you do?

I recently got a new job which provides health insurance... but the problem is that my son around 12 years ago had cancer, he was treated and cured in another country several years ago. If i wanted him to be covered i believe my insurance payment will go up, If i lie and say that no one in the family has had cancer would it matter?

There's a nasty stomach bug going around my office since about 2 weeks ago, about 70% of the people have had it, and there are people now who are just getting it.

I haven't yet shown any symptoms, and I don't want to get sick and get my family sick too... I've been on vitamin C therapy for a few years now (500mg a day) and I haven't really gotten sick, is it possible that the vitamin C is fighting off the virus?

And is it possible that I've gotten the virus, but just not showing any upset stomach symptoms?
