couple weeks ago i was reading a medical book and was looking for symtoms of prostate cancer. and my dad shows all the symptoms. he is 43. he went to the doctors in october and they said there was no cancer cells found. he went last friday and they found nothing. im trying my best to stay positive but it really bothers me that he shows the symptoms. men, did this happen to you before or had prostate cancer?
If someone has been diagnosed with colon cancer for 6 months now can he/she as a consequence have throat problems (with candida albicans etc) so that that can be confused for a symptom of HIV??? that is doctors suggested to that person to take an HIV test because of the throat problems, but can that be it exclusively or it has something to do with the cancer and its debilitating the immune system?? I hope I was clear enough, I confess I m very confused about this.
thanks in advance!
My friends mom was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer and she is being very vague with her about the information she is giving about the cancer. she told her that she had the fluid drained from her lungs and there was no cancer cells in the fluid, but she says they doctors are more worried about the "tumor" than that actual cancer, so my question is, are the "tumor" and the "cancer" two different things?
can you use layman’s terms please? im medically illiterate
I have been throwing up blood, difficulty breathing constant nagging cough. And it hurts when I try to swallow food. My doctors wont say what it is and think its pneumonia. But I know I can’t have pneumonia all year long. Please help
I have a relative who currently has one lung (the other was removed years ago), and recently found out they have lung cancer. A tumor was found in the upper right lobe and one lymph node is involved. Doctors will be doing surgery to remove what they can etc. I am wondering what are the risks of cancer in that area, what is the risks of having one lung, and how long can a person live in this condition. My relative never smoked nor was around anyone who did.
