My husband has gone to the ER twice with chest pains and both times he has been cleared of heart problems and told it was panic attacks. To me, it sounds like hiatal hernia based on his symptoms (acid reflux, burning in center of chest, excessive burping, among other things). My question is, when he had an x-ray done in the ER, would it have been visible?

hi, i'm 17 years old. i have been to the doctors to get my breasts checked because i had movable lumps in there, and they said that it was normal. but now in my right breast, i feel a little bump on the bump that can move.. it's not a hard bump and it moves with the big lump.. i'm not sure if i can feel it on my left or not, sometimes i can and sometimes i can't.

can someone tell me if that is a sign of breast cancer? the lump doesn't stay in one place, it moves.

i'm sorry if that was really confusing but please help me!

A friend of the father I haven't seen in ten years (three before that) gave me his phone number and those of his other two kids the other day. I called my siblings right away because I've missed them terribly. They told me he has colon cancer that spread to the liver. It is aparently shrinking with chemo but still is a serious thing. I know what it is to be sick and in the hospital all the time ( I have sickle cell). It sucks. A part of me can't help feeling though that he didn't come to me those many times I was ill so... I know that only I can make the decision but I'd appreciate some thoughts on the matter.

I'm not exactly over the moon about it. I had hoped to find someone to grow old with, but thats not the card I've been dealt.

I'm pretty much having treatment after treatment forced on me. Don't misunderstand me, any treatment that would extend my life would be welcome, but this isn't it. This is just extending my death.

With 'pallative' treatment I would have about 18mo, most of which I would be able to enjoy, relatively able-bodied. Instead, I have to have chemo after chemo, meaning I'll be spending the next 3 years in a drawn out death, going hospital bed - my bed - toilet - sick bowl.

However, because I am only a 'child' until I reach 18, I have no choice in the matter, and my mother just can't let me go.

Do you think I am being selfish for wanting more of a say in this?

My mom has suffered with vericose veins for...since i can remember. Her legs are always hurting and her ankles are constantly swollen. SHe had her veins stripped in her left leg two years ago and within a month she developed a staff infection. The doctors never gave her any instructions except for to "leave it alone" and take showers. So, she ended up in the hospital for about a month couple weeks later. Ever since then, she gets staff infections too frequently. They are also occuring closer together. She takes vicodin daily because the pain is unbearable and she tries not to but she cant walk without it.

If you have ANY information on staff infections or any other helpful information, please respond. It would be really appreciated. Thanks!

Im a 15 year old girl. I use the tanning bed quite often and lately i have noticed that my nipples are cracking and then today one of them started bleeding without me doing anyything and now it burns. I dont know if this is caused by the tanning bed because of getting sunburns or a sign of breast cancer.
