My poor husband has just had a colon operation to heal an haemorroid and today started bleeding quite heavily again.
He was watching his diet very strictly but last sunday he had a lunch of junk old fried food at a Restaurant, I said to him not to eat it but because he knew the owner he felt embarrased to complain and ate it all. Could this have provoked a recurrence of the haemorroid? Thanks for advice

Can sinus pressure cause your ears to ache and can it cause pressure over your whole head not just in the face and forehead?

Hello, I am 28 yrs old, I started smoking at 16. I decided to quit smoking for a variety of reasons and so a week ago I stopped cold turkey. My cravings have gone down considerably, I really don't want to smoke, but my problem is that now I feel alot worse physically then before. I'm having trouble breathing, I feel some chest pain and I feel tingly in my chest and face. This is sometimes but the trouble breathing is pretty much all them time. Today I woke up and felt like I smoked 2 packs yesterday, just very crappy. Why is this, and is it normal, please help!!!

I need a colonoscopy but am uninsured. Colon cancer is prevalent in my family and I am long overdue for this test.

I can pay cash. Does any medical facility offer free, low cost or discounts for cash for colonoscopy?

Appreciate your input. Shar

...the fact that about 9 percent more men in the US develop prostate cancer than women develop breast cancer.

$550 million v. $80 million

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/articl...

Likewise, in Australia, breast cancer on average kills 2600 women each year

However,

http://www.prostate.org.au/pcfa-reso...n...

Prostate cancer kills 2,700 Australian men every year.

2600 women v. 2700 men. Yet the Australian Government, in 2004, through the National Health and Medical Research Council, provided $6.9 million in funding for research into breast Cancer. While the Australian Government, through the National Health and Medical Research Council, provided $2.5 million in funding for research into prostate cancer.

$6.9 m for women; $2.5 m for men.

Women receiving 3x more funding than men.

My question is WHY

Are men just not worth as much as women?
