My dad is 81 years old with stage 4 prostate cancer. Been diagnosed for 2-3 years now.

Presently in the lymph nodes and not yet in the bones.

PSA is less then 1%. Gleason score is 7.

He has been on hormone treatment for more then a year now and experiences the normal side effects. His doctors seemed to give him no response. They cannot do anything to stop the side effects. My dad is use to it by now but wishes for the side effects to be stopped.

Is this a bad sign of experiencing the side effects?

What vaccination should my Aussie get next and how often? She’s about 7-months and she got the DA2PPV in February, BORDETELLA in December, and the RABIES in March. All I know is that RABIES should be renewed in a year and 3 years after that. And I’m going to get her BOOSTERS this week.

I was a regular user (hardly missed a day) for a about 3 years. I’ve always been moderately active. I quit at the beginning of the year and I’m not looking back. I’ve been lifting weights and running three time a week. I’m not sure if it would help to specify my stats but I’m 170-175 pounds, around 13% body fat. I do not want posts about detox supplements, I’m doing it the old fashioned way.

Me and my significant other have been together for 3 years. Living together for 2. When the time comes up at work to receive medical coverage, would I be able to cover her?

My mom might have goiter or throat cancer and she felt this thing in her throat for like 3 years so we are trying to figure out if you can even live that long without treatment if you have throat cancer?

There were several stated goals of health care reform when the legislation began.

Uninsured should have affordable health care – with the current legislation it is estimated that it will leave about 10 million uninsured.

Is this bill put together just to be able to say that something passed without any real accomplishment?

Affordable health care – the current legislation would raise premiums immediately even though no benefits would be available under the bill for at least 3 years.

I’ve had some problems with my stomach for a few years now and think that I might have celiac disease. I had a colonoscopy 3 years ago and my intestines looked fined, so does that mean I don’t have celiac disease or would celiac disease not show up in a colonoscopy?

i want to study medicine but don’t know any good websites. I’m 15 and have been interested in things like this for 3 years.

We bathed all five pets (2 dogs, 3 cats) in Zodiac flea shampoo (made for dogs & cats). Four pets are fine, but one cat (3 years old, Calico, female, healthy, all cats are indoor only) has had a bad reaction to the shampoo. She is constantly grooming and pulling off her fur, and although she now has bald patches she eats fine, is affectionate, and does not have open wounds. We have rinsed her again with clean water, but is there anything else we can do to soothe her? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, I’m planning to do a two year diploma on either Esthetics or Massage Therapist in Canada. Which one is more in demand? When I look at the job site, there are more jobs for Massage Therapist but I’ve heard most massage therapists experience a burn out after 2-3 years and it’s bad on their bodies.

As for Esthetics…anyone in this line?

Nearly everyone I know who are on antidepressants have some level of sexual side effects. I understand that medications have side effects, but I’ve been on many different antidepressants over the past 3 years and it seems that I have problems with orgasms. I either have very muted orgasms or nothing at all.

My question: How do you deal with the sexual side effects? My doctor has tried dosage adjustments, drug changes, all sorts of different combinations of drugs, but it seems that antidepressants affect my orgasm trigger. Please serious answers only. Thanks. If you were able to overcome this problem, how do you do it?
I give all the medications a fair trial, none was less than 3 months. It was my doctor who decides when it’s proper to make a change. I’ve been on antidepressants for years and side effects are part of the drug trial. This question only addressed the sexual side effects and how to deal with it. I’m fully aware of what is a fair trial of these meds. Please, I’m not look for an opinion on just side effects. I would assume that most of the people on an antidepressant will relate to this and they might have some useful advice on how to deal with issues specifically sexual side effects.

Ok well I still have some time to fit into my bikini for this summer. I’ve been working out at the gym about 3-4 days a week, and it seems like I’m missing something. I need a good diet plan! I was reading something on Oprah’s website and she is going for a Detox diet. I thought I’d give it a try! I’m asking you guys for advice cause I’ve never, "dieted" before and man do I need to start. I’m 5’8 and 170lbs, and for me thats over weight. I had my daughter 3 years ago, and I haven’t been able to loose the weight. So I wanted to try this detox diet. I love fruits, vegetables, and I also thought about skipping meat products, and going for fish. What do you think? Please give me opinion, and any detox information that you might know about. Thanks!

I had a colonoscopy done 3 years ago, they went in through the rectum, I had a friend tell me that I should get an endoscopy where they go in through the mouth, I asked if this would reach my colon and he said yes, is this true too?

I have had hemorrhoids for about 3 years. I do not have insurance so I have never been to the doctor but have used the Preparation H gel and suppositories. The gel doesn’t seem to really help and while the suppositories do help I really don’t like using them. If I did go to the doctor is there like a prescription I could get that would take care of it or at least cure the symptoms?

And would I just go to a regular doctor or what? I appreciate any and all help.

I have been in cancer treatment for the last 3 years, so I read a lot of stuff pertaining to cancer. THere are so many claims out there for alt or natural meds or herbal remedies.

I am very well aware some of these things help with treatment. I have used a couple to help, treating the side effects of therapy, mainly on a mind control, psychological basis.

However, I want to know:

The people who tout some alt med as a CURE, do you feel strongly enough about what you are advertising that you would use the exact same protocol, and that protocol only (meaning no chemo surgery or radiation, as most alt treatments advertise).

Anyone currently under going an alt treatment only to treat cancer?

I would just like to know how many people truely have that much faith in the methods they are suggesting or selling.
Weed doesnt treat the cancer, side effects only. I have used both real mj, and the synthetic thc rx marinol, both helped with the side effects.
I have actually finished treatment, and there werent many alt treatments for mine, not even ones that didnt make sense.

I am not looking for me, just trying to get some knowledge. I know all sorts of alt treatments help with side effects, provide nourishment and all that.

What I want to know, is if anyone that touts these supposed cure treatments have actually used what they advertise alone for treatment (without using chemo, surgery, or radiation).

I am challenging those who would like to make a lot of money selling these alt treatments are willing to put their mouth where there money is.

For example, is there anyone out there who has actually used, say juicing, ALONE, WITHOUT CHEMO SURGERY OR RADIATION, to TREAT their cancer. Not asking for prevention, or help with side effects.
