If one has stage IV cancer [colon cancer with peritoneal and lung metastases] still in a good physical and psychological condition [has been fighting it for two years], but at the very end of his resources, having to rely on his relatives' love and help [just the little bit they can offer], should that one still fight? Or it would be better to give up treatments and accept an earlier death? Wouldn't that be a relief for everyone??

A couple of days ago I noticed that I had "heat rash" type bumps on my jaw line and also on my chest. Throughout the day I also noticed other parts of my body where this rash was forming. Within 2 days, I notice it happens to be spreading to random places.. My sides(ribs) my stomach, lower back , upper back, back of neck and front, behind ears, chest, etc. I have been putting Gold Bond's Baby Powder with Corn Starch on the areas to make sure they are kept dry, and i purchased cotisone 10. I haven't used the cortisone yet, because I'm afraid that if it is heat rash, it will clog the pore even more. How can i get rid of this... what is it??

Got a tattoo in 2003, and the place I went to I was concerned about sterilization. I have two others that I got from two different shops in NH and they took the needles out of a sterile wrapper. This tattoo artist took the needle out of an open environment and I believe touched it with his hands (don't remember gloves). I asked the older man (maybe he was in his 60's) whether it was sterile he said yes, but I wasnt sure. The tattoo quality is horrible and took a month to heal. However, now I am concerned I contracted HIV. I am a virgin, completely, and since the other two tattoo parlors took the needles out of their sterile wrappers, I am sure if I got tested positive for it then this tattoo parlor would be to blame. Who can I ask in that town, the police or town hall, to see if they had other concerns or complaints? And if I contracted HIV, can I file a police report? Of course, I would admit to being a virgin. Got this tattoo in Maine.
Serious question, so serious answers

I have 3 dogs two which shed lots of hair. My question is do i start to have the allergies because hair is shed and touched or because once the hair falls the dander floats in the air? Allergy tests show i am allergic to dogs therefore i am now starting allergy shots.
