Oh I would loved to have caught my cancer earlier - I had no symptoms until I was Stage IV. I'm all for prevenative care - but it's too late for - now it's all about treatment and hoping there is a new drug in 2 years. I don't see any similarity to the bailout to business companies recently (that we...
could also be an infection or other metobolic activity (not cancer). I understand how furstrating to do these tests and have this uncertaintly. but remember the machines do have technolgoy limits and they yet can't remove that uncertaintly. often having cancer long term, you will have troubling scan...
some of my doctors are friends... in socal settings I call them by their first names - but I ALWAYS call the Doctor or doctor name. out of respect - they spend a long time earning that degree and the right to be called doctor.
ok - here is what I found to cite to back up what I said - via somewhat random web searches. I couldn't find Vioxx data - so I picked Nexium "the purple pill" as an alterative fact #1 - the total US market for GER - those who would use Nexium is 7 million accourding to Health and Human Ser...

(I hope you will not be offended if you are not catholic). You and your husband will be in my thoughts over the holidays. I ca...

I think that EVERYONE diagnosed with cancer should receive FREE SURGERY, FREE MEDS, FREE TREATMENTS, FREE EVERYTHING....FREE! That sounds nice, but who pays for the drugs? I am actually a strong sporter for medical insurance reform and programs to be sure more have insurance. But nothing is free - ...
Do you want a forum full of objectionable material? people attacking others for example? why should we provide that? or clearly off subject questionable subjects - such do we need a long argumentative thread where we will never agree - such about religion where many people are oftened. I view this a...
well we have been deleting messages and entrie threads that are objectionalbe. waht I'm propose are some rules to avoid objectional posts in the first place, so that your "censorship" rule becomes moot. Do you feel the simple rules I was suggesting are too hard for posters to follow to avo...
