Cancer

I have two freckles, one on each arm, that aren't filled in with color on the inside. So essentially, they are light freckles with a darker ring on the ouside. Along with that, they are slightly raised above my skin. I am very fair skinned and freckle easily, so it is possible they are just strange freckles?

If I have a good health insurance policy, is it worth it to get cancer insurance on top of that, or is it unnecessary? If anybody has had good or bad experiences with cancer insurance, I'd like to hear from you.

and the reason behind this is that she always feels nasious after she takes meds... this in turn keeps her from eating too much... We have resently talked her into taking marinol which is medical marijuana that she takes in a pill form and keeps her from getting sick... Since she still cant muster eating so much, what type of food would be best for her, keeping her from feeling sick from eating but also adding a good fair amount of calories to her diet.... The most important thing here is for her to gain weight so she can gain some energy because she's going back into Chemo in a couple weeks and has back surgery in a week or so..And yes she is seeing a therapist but i would like second, thrid and fourth opinions... Thank You!!!

A two year old boy suddenly starts uncontrollable vomiting during a rousing backyard game of baseball at home. He is taken to the ER because as I said it is uncontrollable. Lo and behold it is discovered he has cancer of his brain. Seemingly untreatable, unoperable, very scary. High dose radiation is begun immediately along with aggressive chemotherapy. Of course he is very ill. My question is this, Would you treat the disease knowing there is virtually no hope or would you back off somewhat with the meds in the hope of letting him enjoy his last time here? (Treating pain, fatigue, nausea, etc. in either decision as well as possible, of course.) This is a tough one.

Colonel Joe Hart of http://www.coljoe.com contends that Oxalic acid in your immune system will cure everything from virus, bacteria, and fungi infections within our bodies. He writes that by maximizing and keeping in balance the Oxalic acid in our bodies, we can maintain an immune system capable at keeping all forms of cancer out of our bodies, as well as shrink existing cancers now present in your body. He list a number of baddies, called blockers which will and can totally drain the Oxalic Acid out of our bodies in less than an hour, and suggest that we totally avoid these blockers at all cost but particularly if you are sick with any malady. Ever hear of this before on any topic of discussion concerning this chemical substance? The chemical based compound which is imported into this country is used primarily as an ethching agent to clean things such as radiators. But the Oxalic Acid Col. joe is refering to occurs and is found in our diet, primarily dark leafy veggies.

Hello,

I am a 28 year old Latin female (South American decent, mix of German and Swiss). My WBC count was low 2 years ago (I don't remember the count). I didn't have my blood count tested again until last month. The new doctor said my WBC is very low (1.5). I tested negative for HIV last year....My platelets appear to be in an acceptable range, it's my white blood cells that are all out of range. Details below:

Neutrophils = 650L
Lymphocytes = 707L
Monocytes = 114L
Eostinophils = 53
Basophils = 9

Total WBC = 1.5

I feel healthy overall. When I get sick, I recover quickly. My internet searches turn up a lot of bad news so I thought I would ask the group before I go to see the hematologist....

Thank you.

My mom is 47 and she has been smoking since she was 17 (about- thats what she tells me). I HATE the fact that she is smoking and I am constantly trying to make her stop. I am always worried that she will get lung cancer. She smokesabout 5 cigarettes a day and they are really not that strong. Like now she is smoking malbaro ultra lights. Before she used to smoke these skinny cigarettes thatwere shipped from Europe. Will she EVER quit? I am so worried...I really want her to stop. What can i do?

I read a book which said that if you have to change your sleep patterns, your odds of getting cancer go way up.

I know there are a lot of us who have taken a job like that for a year or more and think we have adjusted OK. Sometimes there is a killer schedule like midnight to morning one week; early starts the next - no effort made to plan a transition.

Will this damage us long-term? The book read like it was recognised and would eventually be common knowledge. Huh, a bit late for us all! Am I right to be wary?

You always hear of such things with firemen or police or army being put down to stress. But they are groups who are constitutionally expected to have no right to object. When they die, they are honored. How fair is that? How much of the stress is from weird schedules?

Is distorting your sleep patterns a trigger-factor for cancer? It's a scary thought, because it is so preventable. And do people who sleep longer, live longer, as a group?

I was diagnosed with cancer of the larynx in its final stages in April 2000. I was by error given twice the amount of radiation a human can take in his lifetime, I then had to have a tracheostomy as I had refused the removal of my voice box. I then landed up with Peritonites which almost killed me. I then had a major fungal infection behing my brains at my nape of the neck - another life taking threat. I then began bleeding non stop from my mouth, nose, throat and the doctors got my family together for last good byes. I always bounced back. I as on date breathe through a hole in my throat called a "stoma" and have not even had a sip of water in the last six years as both the food and air passages have closed down. I feed through a tube inserted in my stomach called a "peg". I am a fitness freak and work out for an hour everyday and run a good 4 km. Can anyone try and explain why am I still alive? I mantain my health, am physically fit and work normally and do not feel handicaped.
