Cancer

I've developed a strange growth on my nose in the last few months. It occasionally bleeds, and seems to be growing. What could this be?

im only 16 years old.. but im scared i may have a few types of cancer..2 are concernin me most.

For a few years now, (Probly 3- 4) i have had a lump in each breast. i read that when your breasts start to develop grow "buds" which feel like lumps. but i havent really grown. im still very flat chested (30A). & the lumps have changed in size, sometimes they feel small sumtimes larger & they hurt too.

I have also noticed that when i go to the toilet, i sometimes have blood in my faeces & i have heard this is a sign of bowel cancer. i also sometimes have problems such as stomach problems and irritations when using the toilet.

& i have looked up throat cancer, & i have some of the symptoms shown, such as painful swallowing etc.

im 2 scared 2 go 2 the doctors. does anyone know how they test 4 cancer in these cases?

i know im only 16 &most ppl with cancer r older. but my friend knows a girl who had breast cancer at 17.

and there have been 6 cases of cancer in my family.

I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY ...when people are sick or have a medical problem whether it be a cold or Cancer...they always run to a doctor. Why dont more people consider curing themselves by means of "natural" herbs, vitamins, and eating a healthy organic diet. There are "Natural" cures for just about EVERYTHING!
Please People wake up to the facts! The doctors and drug company's only want your money...Do some research and Cure yourself!

ok I'm 24 I have had 3 children. My last son who is 2and a half nursed for his whole first year. SO it's been a year and a half since I breast fed and I am still having iregular periods. I was diagnosed with cysts that did not need removed and were not cancerous and one tiny fibroid that was also not cancerous. I stopped my period for two months about 4 months ago. Then I got a 3 day cycle and now I am once again a month late. I do sometimes feel pelvic pain and pressure but not constantly.It comes and goes. My last pap was late July so only a few months back and it came back normal. I had some blood tests I guess the normal stuff done as well. SO yeah I'm scared I have cancer I haven't yet told my doctor all this cause I now do not have Insurance and can not afford to go. Please help by telling me whether or not it sounds like I have ovarian cancre or not.

I'm going to consult a doctor in the morning. I just have random questions here that I thought I 'd ask your opinion on. Im 25. I have only 2 brothers. My first brother is 15 & he has brain cancer. My other brother had it when he was 9. Do you think I should get checked? Do you think it's very likely I would get it too? What are the chances my children would have it? My one aunt is a nurse & she suggested that I don't have any more children. I have 2 now. I understand that you all aren't doctors, but just tell me your thoughts please.

Hey I posted before. I've been having considerable pain in my bladder and microscopic blood in my urine. I did an ultrasound and a urine cytology and they both came back negative but are these tests accurate at all in detecting bladder cancer? I'm booked for a Ct scan as well, but it's not for a few weeks. Does bladder cancer present with microscopic blood, pain that comes and goes, foul smelling and cloudy urine, urgency and nausea? thanks

She just had her 1rst chemo round out of 6 she needs. Even though her cancer was pretty bad it was found on time and was taken out. At first she was so happy about it, I mean about the successful operation, and about not having cancer in any other organ in her body. She was Grateful with God, believing it was a miracle come true. We had very bad days, but we pray so hard, and our prayers where heard. Her surgery was very successful, they took off almost 80% of her stomach and still she eats a lot, and she has gain weight. But since she was hospitalized for her chemo, she change so much, she is so scare, angry at God, cries all the time and she is just so mad. I love her so much, but I just don’t know how to help her, what to say to make her feel better. I’m very worried, because I know that if she doesn’t change, cancer may be back. Please tell me if there is a place in line that would give me the necessary tools to help her. Thank You.

I have very thick hair & just today am seeing it falling out or thinning. Will it start to fall out in clumps eventually or just continue to thin? Just trying to get an idea of how severe. I'm doing the TC type of chemo.
