about treatment of breast cancer?

my very close friend has recently been diagonised a cyst of size 1.5cm in her left breast and swelling of lymph node in her left underarm. her breast nipple has been painfull from the past six months. the doctor suggested mamography and a biopsy. she is 43 years, 5 feet 4inch and 72 kgs. the doc hasnt told anything specific. she is in her menopause period.she has a high ESR about 80 she is getting nightmares about it. is the swelling of lymph nodes just because she has high ESR or can it be because of her weight or is it really a cancerous cell. she doesnt have a history of breast cancer in her family but her sister-in-law was recently diagonised with throat cancer…

pls i want some feedback, advise, help or information about her condition…pls help us….pls




I just started my first period. I’m not sure if it’s really my period, because A while ago, there was blood, so I used pads, but then i never came back until now, and its been about six months, so I know that wasn’t my period, so I’m not sure if this is. I use pads now, and I’m wondering how long I have to wait before I start using tampons? How do I know when to start using tampons?




Chances of pregnancy during premenopause?

A freind of mine is in her mid-forties and is going through premenopause. She is not completely done because she still gets her period but it is a few months between cycles. It been about 5-6 months since her last period. She still uses birth control because she does not want to accidently become pregnant just because she does not get her monthly and does not know if she still ovulates even though she has not had her period in six months. What are the odds of her getting pregnant?

Should they ban PMU Farms and cut off the production of Premarin?
I am doing a paper on the menopause drug called Premarin and it is from a pregnant mares urine. The mare can’t hardly move and she has to stand for a long time during the last six months of her pregnancy. She stays in the stall until she gives birth and the foal will be shipped off to auction and normally go to the slaughter house.




I started about six months ago and haven’t gone to the doctor/gynecologist since. Is it typical to go, or is it only for pregnancies? Can anyone give me valid information?




What could be causing my night sweats?




I am a female, age 21, and have been experiencing night sweats for the past six months. My house is normally kept pretty cold, and I have been wearing lighter PJs to bed, but I’m still experiencing the sweating. It actually wakes me up at night. Recently I have started to become dehydrated when sleeping. I’ve ruled out the sweating due to hot temperatures, since I’m usually cold, and I haven’t had a change to any hormone related medication since the beginning of this. What could it be?

These trying times are distroying the initimacy in our marriage. Correction, has already destroyed!

Sex and affection is non-existant in our marraige for the past six months. It has been declining for the past several years. Money, kids , work, house are constantly on her mind and she cannot seperate them and allow herself to relax long enough to have even a hint of intimacy between us. I don’t even know the right way to try to make love to her. She pushes my hands away at the first gental attempts at foreplay.

Add to that the hormones (so i’m told) of premenopause which has driven down her self body image, and she doen’t even feel comfortable being naked in front of me.

I on the other hand can’t sleep at night, she turns me on so much that I lay awake all night in the hopes that she’ll roll the right way so maybe I can get a few moments of carressing some parts of her that make fall temporarly exsposed.

Help before I begin looking elseware for the intimacy we all need.
Let me add, that i already helop around the house, cook, race home from work to handle dinner and the kids (youngest is 13) so she can go to aerobics class. I’m painting the kitchen and redoing the lighting etc.

I gently reminded her that it’s been a while… my birthday was last week too, she came right out and said that "the money stuff is on my mind and i just can’t get into it."

Okay to flush 13 year old hot water heater?




Is it okay to flush my 13 year old hot water heater, if I don’t know if its ever been done before?

Moved in to the house six months ago. I’d like to keep the home well maintained, but I don’t want to cause unforeseen damage.

Thanks!




Im 30 years old and had a complete hysterectomy. I started taking hormones but I don’t like them. I stopped taking them for almost a six months now. Will this hurt me?

Best time to check female hormones?




I’m 35 and I think I’m perimenopausal. Over the past six months or so my periods have changed to a stop and go pattern. I’ve also started getting bad headaches on the first day, particularly in the spring and summer. So anyway, I’m about to have a bunch of blood tests and wondered if there was an optimum time in my cycle for the progesterone, estrogen, FSH, etc. levels to be tested.

Is this a man menopause?




Am I going through mental disorder? I am 50 year old man, lost my job two years ago and now a full time father. Six months ago it happened first time when my 14 year old son was ill. I was perhaps stressed. In the midnight, the pain around neck travelled to brain and settled to the right side. A pricking kind of sensation. It lasted for an hour. Next day too the same happened. Then I was going through some anxiety attacks and was becoming too emotional and insecure and always had a feeling that anytime I can die and life is meaningless. Some times too much confusion in brain, some wieard memories come out and I felt too depressed. Sometimes feel I will go mad soon in life. It all the time happened in the night time. Doctors said nothing to worry. I thought a scan could help. But they said not required. I don’t drink, don’t smoke. I am confused with my life. Or is it man menopause symptoms? I am having normal sex life too. I am trying to control the symtoms but still confised. Pls help
