  Dubious????

  With regard to info on imposters. I must admit to being new to the chat room scene. I'm almost afraid to use it. I constantly dip into it whilst perusing the site, to see who's chatting. I quite often feel that I'm interupting peoples conversations with my fingertips! I don't know enough people yet to make any judgements about it, but I do feel it is an important communication tool. It would be a shame for people to stop using it. I find this website utterly irresistable, I cannot stop myself...

  New to site - mum just diagnosed

  Mum was diagnosed with lung cancer just last week and we are stumbling around in the dark. She had a bronchoscopy last week and we see a specialist tomorrow. I am sure the hospital she is going to is good but wanted some independent information about it. Does anyone know where I might find this? I was recommended the Drfosterhealth.co.uk website but not much joy there.

  chordoma

  I've just returned from hospital after a chordoma excision at the base of the spine. Coccyx and part of sacrum removed. Nerves have been affected meaning I have bowel and bladder complications - still have a catheter in place. Swelling in buttock area means its uncomfortable to sit down. I would love to hear from anyone who has been through similar experience

  I'm tired

  I completed my 9th thoracentesis today. I am pretty tired of them I get sooooooo anxious before them, for anticipated pain, whether it's there or not. My pressure goes sky high, my fingers turn a lovely dusky shade of gray/blue from taking such shallow breaths on top of shallow breaths. My hands shake some and I jump a bit whenever the doc touches me. You would think I would be accustomed to it, but I don't think you ever get used to pain, do 'ya? Today's pain wasn't as bad but I am still somewhat...

  ?Sunbathing? - HNPCC

  I 've been reading up on my faulty gene ie HNPCC/Lynch Syndrome It predisposes me to cancer in a few different body areas, I've already had it in my bowel but, I have read that it also can increase the risk to my skin. I'm rather partial to a bikini and have even been known to go 'au natrel' in hotter climates. Does any1 know if I should give this pastime up for my health??
