I'm 14, a diabetic, and don't have a cell phone. I also have celiac disease yet still go to my high school football games. I get dropped off. But I have to search for someone with a cell phone all the time to get a ride home. Also, I do walk home from school which is 1 1/2 miles and ride my bike to the baseball fields to play. Sometimes, I do forget glucose tabs and go low. I think a cell phone would be good so I could call my parents when this happens. In one year, this has happened near 20 times. They still won't get me one. My sister got one for her 16th birthday. I have 2 years to get mine and I will be a junior then because I have a July birthday. My sister is a sophomore but has a September birthday. Should i getone for emergencies and convenience.

My father died August 25 one month before his 59 birthday. How come doctors didn't treat my fathers case seriously? In a month he gained 30lbs had hard time breathing, his diabetes shot up quite high all of a sudden and had phemona.He was rushed hospital they drained liquid from abdomen, had hard time with breathing they put a oxegen mask on him to help him breath, they controlled his diabetes and then sent him home a week later. Still had trouble breathing gained more water, they told him to double then triple his water pills. A week at we had to rush him to the hospital the second time. He was complaining he was so tired went unconcious they performed surgery to take away more water from his heart. Aparently test showed no water origionally then they took more tests and it showed the water. He didn't make it through the surgery his heart stoped. After only 2 hours in the hosptial he passed away. Why did they send him home? I wonder if he would of been saved if they monitered himlonge

I'm due in December, and my mom is having a hysterectomy and removal of cancer nodules in a couple weeks, due to ovarian cancer. Depending on the outcome of the surgery and the biopsy results, she may need to have chemo. If so, this will most likely be going on at the time I give birth. I have heard that those undergoing chemo cannot hold young children. Will this be the case? And what is the reason for it?

I missed out on the earlier resolution of this question...so I'd like to respond. I can smell cancer in people. I've been in training classes, at work, in restaurants, etc., and smelled a certain odor. It's a rather strange, sweetish odor, sort of cinnamony, if I had to say a 'ballpark' odor, but that's not it exactly. I have either found out at the time, or later on that there was a person present who had some sort of cancer. The training class in particular, the instructor told us that she had cancer before the class was over. I had almost determined that it had to be her, because the smell would come and go as she walked up & down the aisle between the tables in our class. I smelled this smell very strongly coming from a man I talked to at work a few weeks ago. He has had numerous health problems, & although he looked more healthy than I had seen him in a long time, he still didn't look quite 'right'. I'm trying to find out discreetly. My husband is beginning to believe me

My dad has lung cancer which has spread to his bones but he is not really telling us what the doctors have told him about his prognosis other than that all they all can do is try to keep him comfortable. I need to know so I can then make plans to be near him as we live hundreds of miles apart.

Recently I was tested for Stds because I have been having frequent UTI's and the doc thought it was a good idea to rule out an infection as a possibility. Everything was negative.

Well, it made me wonder something about bacterial Stds.
Suppose a person has one and doesn't know, would it be possible for it to go away if they took antibiotics for another condition, like a uti?

Are antibiotics that generic? Or would the infection stay until they took a certain kind designed just for the std?

I hope that makes sense.

I have low grade dysplasia and HPV after having a coloposcopy and a leep procedure earlier this year. It has returned and I want to get a second opinion from a gynecological oncologst since my regular doctor is not really a specialist in this.

I haven't really paid attention until now about which Hospital is the best to go to, since they all run commercials that say they are the best according to some award or magazine article.

Which Hospitals in Chicago are the best in achieving cures in Cancer treatment, especially cervical cancer?

If I'm sitting for let's say three Hours (Just hypothetical) and during that time my Heart Rate increases or decreases (Not by much), rather than staying one normal pace throughout those 3 Hours, is it normal for a Heartbeat to do that? Or should it be at a flat rate throughout that time.

(On a side note I am playing an action game on the PS3, which could account for the change. But if I wasn't playing on the PS3, if I was just sitting in front of my Computer chatting on MSN or something, would that be normal?)
