I have Hodgkins Lymphoma (lymph node cancer) and have been getting 3 injections of chemotherapy already, which span over almost 5 weeks already. My terrible cough is almost entirely gone, but I still have the bumps in my abdominal area (I think they are probably cancer, according to the doctor)

In your experience, how long does it take for the tangeable tumors to start to shrink?

Thanks

Last Saturday I noticed there was blood in my urine. I went to the dr. and they prescribed Bactrim for 5 days. I took it all exactly as they told me. At the time my urinalysis did not show any infection, so don't think it was a urinary tract infection. The bactrim seemed to stop the blood in a couple of days but now today (exactly one week later) I noticed blood in my urine again. I went to the doctor again and they did another urinalysis. Again, it showed no infection. But they put me on another antibiotic (Cipro). Should I be worried about this? I don't have burning or frequency to go to the bathroom or excruciating pain, although I do have a little cramping. The doctors seem to be dismissing it as nothing serious but I am really scared about this. Any suggestions on what it could be?

I noticed some small bumps on my vagina but i thought it was just ingrown hair but i have been having discharge for a while now and I just got my period and the bumps got worse, ( they are really itchy) I had unprotected sex with someone that I didn't know was checked for an STD or not, I'm actually scared to death that this is Herpes or something and I feel absolutly disgusting. I'm only 16, so if its herpes I plan on running myself over with train. I also read on a site similar to this that having sex with a yeast infection can cause small bumps and I also think that may be it. Also does having sex on your period have anything to do with anything?

ok, for the past three years i have had heart "complications". i've been to the hospital three times, and they've done x rays and ekg's but said that they all show up normal. they said i do have a slight abnormal heart beat, and that my left atrium ( i think thats what its called) had enlarged. but they said they found no complications? although they said i should go see a specialist, but my insurance ran out before i could. i am having these pains right now, they arent serious pain, but more of discompfort and my left arm gets numb and heavy, but that all happened the three previous times. so is there something wrong? i do suffer from anxiety, but they said that probably isnt the problem b/c of what they found on the ekg (the enlargement of the atrium) so please if you can give me any advice whatsoever i would really really appreciate it.

Here's a tough one.

You inherited cancer from one of your parents. The cancer and its treatment caused numerous side effects such as hearing loss and liver problems. You have an above average chance of developing another form of cancer later in life and a 1 in 2 chance of passing the disease on to children.

The parent who passed the disease on to you had 5 recurrences of cancer before dying middle-aged.

Most of your childhood was spent in hospitals, either you or your parent being the patient.

Do you think that marrying and having kids would be selfish? Would you go ahead, knowing that you may also die young, or possibly pass your illness on and cause more pain and suffering?

I have been having some trouble lately, from exhaustion to swollen sore lymphnodes, to mood swings and sore throat that somethings feels like it is sweeling. I have been to the doctor and had bloodwork and it is all normal. They gave me penicillian and told me to come back a the end of 7 days and we would go from there. For months my hands and the joints of my hands have been sore and tender. I rub them and although it is sore it is somewhat of a relieving ache. My right knee clear down my calve is very sore. My feet ache, I am so tired all of the time and sometimes feel like I just cant go anymore. I have headaches that are sometimes mild and others are enough to make me lay down. I sometimes get low grade fevers for no reason at all. When I am feeling my worst, everything that goes on in my house seems amplified by a million. I also get these dizzy spells at times and I begin to sweat, yet bloodwork shows nothing.....My boss mentioned to me to ask my doc about CFS?

Whenever I am in stressful situations my face gets really red. I'm not like a red head or anything either. For instance like pictures for prom were a nightmare because my face turns red. What can I do?

Last night I went to the emergency room because I was in horrible pain, they diagnosed me with gall stones and said I would need surgery. However the surgeon was busy last night saving someone's life so I was told to call his office on Tuesday and make an appointment for the surgery. I was just wondering if any of you with experience what I should absolutely avoid eating in the mean time? I know that I'm not suppose to have fatty/greasy foods and such, but are there any other less obvious risky foods that I should avoid during the next few days? And what sort of foods would you recommend eating? Right now, I've got a bunch of fresh fruit and raw veggies, but I'm trying to find something that would actually be a meal, verses a snack.

Also, for those of you that have had your gall bladder removed, what was your recovery like? I just had a c-section and the recovery sucked.

Thanks so much for all your answers in advance.

She just had a mammogram done, and now we have to painfully wait for the news. I don't know what do say to her, how to feel. I feel guilty for going on with my life, not knowing what will happen. Has anyone else ever experienced this? I'm single, no children...she has no grandchildren and I'll be all alone if this is cancer. What do I do?
