My dad was diagnosed this past friday with stage IV pancratic cancer. It has spread to his liver and other organs. When i asked the doctor if we can do a liver transplant he said no without any hesitation. There are 5 kids (19-31) who would be willing to give my dad thier liver if it can save him. Also the doctor won't remove any of the cancer surgically. He would rather leave it to chemo/radiation therapy which gives an average of 6 months to live. I DO NOT want my father to die anytime soon. He will never know his grandchilderen nor have the chance to see any of his kids marry. My dad is 53, about 6ft and when healthy weighed slightly over 200 lbs. Doesn't smoke and drinks occaionally yet doesn't get drunk. He is a banker therefore he's not really around high level of airborne toxins. Can someone PLEASE HELP ME, help my dad!!!

My grandma has been in the hospital for almost 2 weeks now and will continue to be there for at least another 2 weeks for sure. She has a degenerative disease with her bones.. I'm not sure the name of it (too technical) haha.. also, she has a UTI (urinary tract infection). She is unable to walk right now and is very sore and in very much pain. She feels discouraged and depressed. She does not believe she'll ever get well again or come home. Although the doctors confirmed that she will return home, she has a very negative mind-set right now and is worried for herself as well as my grandpa. Understandable! I would like to bring her an uplifting prayer to boost her spirits. A prayer for the healing of the sick. We are Catholic.. Roman Catholic to be specific. Any prayers will do =) Thank you for your help! I appreciate it.

my husband has very unstable readings. The highest he has been , that we know of is 235. However sometimes within an hour of eating he is in the normal range- which makes us happy- and then before his next meal , or bedtime, he checks at it can be around 190 or more. What can cause this, and do you have any suggestions? He is only Starlix and cinnamon tabs. The cinnamon tabs have helped with his after meal readings.

I was study all afternoon today (probably last time for this luxury ability, before I quit my adhd meds - under self-inflicted durress) to find why I am
toooo thirsty when my heart isn't beat right, because my physician and cardiologist both didn't know, but I don't stop there! My doc check my blood lab and is fine though. I learned my a-fib causes heart inability to
pump enough blood flow out of heart, then I am also have heart failure; this cause me being thirsty because of volumetric thirst, then heart and kidneys send signal to save fluids intracellular space to extravascular space. End result I am drink water too much like camel, and this cause water intoxication maybe; instead I need for this kind thirst, drink with electrolytes, like Gatorade / Powerade, these isotonic - but better for me to get hypotonic drink (less carbs). If I make them at home its cheaper, so what ingredients?

I'm wondering about the AC1 blood test, and how is it taken (meter computer plugged, prick of finger, blood draw?), as well as measured (like which number is in the normal range)?(: Thank you. I am also a type one diabetic.

I have three burns on my body and I was wondering if my hair would ever re-grow over them. I have a minor 2nd degree burn, a 2nd degree burn and a minor 3rd degree burn. ((When I say minor I mean it's not the worst it could be but it's bad enough to be that degree.)) They are friction burns if that makes any difference. I have seen a doctor and we are treating them with water proof band aids and polysporin.(If that makes any diffrence.))

He has had many partial mis-diagnoses like ADHD and OCD, but now that he is properly diagnosed he refuses to accept it and is also refusing to take any medications to help him with it. This is very stressful for me to deal with and I would really appreciate some feasible solutions.

I recently spent the weekend at my sister's house. She had a cook out and everyone was outside a lot. Just recently I have started feeling ill. My neck is stiff, my body has a few aches (ecspecially in my legs and shoulders), I'm tired (could be because I'm busy), I also have a mild head ache, I also get dizzy spells where I crash into things and not even knowing how (kind of like being drunk only I don't drink and never have). I don't know if it's because of stress or something more serious. Please help!

How long does it take to see the signs of genital herpes after you have been exposed to it? Does it lie dormant for a long time and come out or is it a quick timing disease?

My question is how do these children cope with being out in the public not knowing who has eatten peanuts or peanut products.Some children in my grandchildrens' school have peanut alergies so severe even the smell of peanuts can trigger an attack.My nephews have children who are allergic to eggs so the students cannot bring egg sandwiches but products containing eggs are ok. I would hope all parents would monitor the contents of the lunches sent to school ( afterall if it were our own child we would expect the same diligence)..I guess my question how do these kids cope out in public?

I started on Metformin & Avandia, had to discontinue Avandia because of water retention. Now I have no energy & muscle weakness, & get short of breath, with the least exercise.
Could these be side effects of the Metformin?
I've read that they are;-{ what's next?
