Cancer

I went to an oncologist that was recommened to me for tamoxifin for breast cancer. I have non invasive cancer and atypical hyperplasia which is non cancerous right now. The Dr. told me after he gave me a perscription that I don't have to come back to see him. I should ask my Gyn Dr. to refill my meds. I thought he was blowing me off what do you think. And how often should I see an oncologist?

My dad passed away on 16th May this year from secondary liver cancer (which was only diagnosed on 27th March 2006 after he was admitted to hospital after an 'abnormal liver scan' on 13th March). For 25 years he had worked at a local plastics factory (which makes castors etc for chairs) and when I looked up causes of liver cancer on the internet, it mentioned Vinyl Chloride was a potential cause, this was used at the factory my dad worked in. Has anyone else heard of this link to this particular cancer before?

I had malignent melanoma removed over 2 years ago, and then battled a constant MRSA infection in my nose and body. I took many antibiotics and after 2 years I am still being plagued with a boil here and there... and this constant cough that seems to be worse when I take a shower... I have also experienced a broken rib and wrist since.... they seemed to easy to break... any ideas? what should I assume?

Has anyone ever had a LOT of pain in the pelvic area due to a bulged disc? I have been to many doctors, but am still having problems. I had doctored for several years and several doctors, finding out I did have this bulged disc and possibly IBS, after having a lot of tests. Finally after several years of not getting a pat answer it was discovered I had endometriosis. I have since had a complete hysterectomy, which I felt great for about 6 months.
I am now once again faced with a great deal of pain, and getting worse as time goes on. I do very little anymore to strain my back, I have been treated with IBS medicine which only made my pelvic/abdomin area more painful, been to 3 doctors again, with still no answers Is it my back? Has the bulge suddenly started pinching a nerve? That doc is next, but can a back cause this much pain in my pelvic/ab area? Is it my bowels? Can't really be female issues as there is nothing left..WHAT COULD IT BE..

Ok, so my friend is staying at my condo for the weekend, and she smokes (which is gross, but she is addicted). Um, so anyway, there is that smoke smell that comes off of all her stuff (I do not let her smoke in the condo) It's just the stuff of hers that smells like smoke, and I want to know, is it cancerous to even smell that stuff?
I mean, the smell coming off of her clothes, is that harmful to my lungs?

My father is losing blood and his father died from Leukemia. He has been diagnosed with being anemic and has been sent to a Hemotoligist for further testing. The Dr. wants him to have a colonoscopy and lightescope done and if that doesn't show anything then they want a bone marrow done. My question is this is losing blood a sign of leukemia ? I am in the med field and I know what the major signs of leukemia is and understand alot of the things that are going on but not sure about the blood loss. Can you help or even stir me in the right direction?
Thanks Alot

My co-workers and I have never organized a benefit and we really need this to do well. Her treatment costs over $5000.00 a month and her insurance has stopped paying for it. We are getting great support from local businesses in the form of small gift certificates which is great, but we really need some big ticket items to raffle to draw a big crowd. My mom is a really super lady! Anyone who has ever met her just falls in love with her within 5 minutes of meeting her, including her doctors. I call her my mortal angel and she truly is. Thank you in advance for your advice, help, suggestions and just listening. God Bless you all

Specifically, a terminally ill patient that cannot digest solid foods and has a PEG tube was getting 250cc of IV Fluids each day. Patient has begun to not tolerate this amount, now is down to maybe 200cc once every 3 days or so. Patient is drinking a lot of fluids, but I'm unsure how much is actually being absorbed. Patient also has only one functioning kidney.

Terminal illness is metastatic ovarian cancer with malignant bowel obstruction. Patient has lost roughly 25 pounds in a month and a half and is receiving no IV nutrition. Initial prognosis about a month and a half ago was days to weeks.

I'm looking for a rough estimate of time left, as well as an estimate as to how long until patient is comatose.

I have some specific requests that you pray for. Would you pray that the tumor is small...that it hasn't spread...and that she is totally treatable? Thank you very much. Oh! Her name is Sherry.

A nonsmoking place was limited in a city.
An area is small, and morals are no good after having moved in the country.
A no-smoking area is large in a big city, but feels even a destination at a local place.
I want to warn a person of smoking kindly. 、、
