I am 13 and will be 14 in exactly 20 days. I am above average as far as my chest size. For the past few days, I have been experiencing some very bad pain in one of my breasts. I have talked to my mom about it, but she said it may just be a briuse from working out in P.E. She told me that if the pain persists, she will set up a doctor’s appointment. Niether one of us has open expressed the possibility of it being breast cancer but I have thought about it. Maybe I am just ill informed as to what breast cancer is and I shouldn’t be worrying, please help.

Given that your breasts are growing right now, the pain you’re feeling is probably perfectly normal. I’m glad your mom set up an appointment, though. I think it’s always better to be safe than sorry.
The chances of you having breast cancer at your age are very, very, very slim. So slim that, if you were my daughter, I wouldn’t be worried about it one bit.
I hope that helps and “Happy Birthday”.

Is metastasis when the cancer spreads from the lungs to other parts of the body maybe? Would it maybe occur when the cancer reaches the aveoli and can pass through the blood stream?

Metastasis is the spread of cancer from the original location. By definition of each stage of cancer, metastatis is criteria for stage 3 and up cancer. Spread to another organ is clearly metastatis.

My ex husband wants me to explain to our 7 yr old that his granny which she is extremely close to has lung cancer. My daughters papa just died 6 months ago how do I tell her that her nana has lung cancer and the prognosis isnt good?

Straight an direct, but with kindness in your tone. This is the most psychologically healthy way. Kids are amazing and while we don’t want to place al the burdens of the world on them at once, understanding about death and dying is important and she is old enough to have a reasonable understanding of what is about to happen Be prepared to answer any questions she may have. These sites may help you.

If you don’t have adobe acrobat reader on your computer, you may need to install it for link 2 only, but most computers have it.
Kids do best when adults are direct and honest with them.
Not an easy task, but one you will handle very well, I’m sure.
God Bless!

My fiance and I were engaged in May 2007, we are planning to get married in October 2008. In October 2007 he was diagnosed with cancer– both of us being college students, he is still covered under his parent’s insurance. If we get married in October and he can no longer be covered by his parent’s insurance– what are our options? Is there a way for him to take over his current coverage??
Best Answer - Chosen by Voters
No, he can’t take over his current coverage. Either he’s an eligible dependent of his parents or he’s not. However, depending upon the size of his parent’s employer, he may be offered COBRA insurance. (COBRA is quite expensive, but if he needs to continue cancer treatments and can’t find other coverage then you do what you gotta do.)
Otherwise, one of you will have to get a job with benefits so that he can be on that employer plan after your married. I’m presuming that one of you plans to be employed full time by the time you’re married?
(Please tell me you’re not planning to both still be full time college students and get married in October? Given your fiance’s medical condition and knowing that he’ll lose his health insurance through his parents, that would be a colossally stupid mistake. If you can line up other coverage, great…proceed as planned with the wedding. But if this is his only shot at being able to have affordable health coverage to treat his cancer, then the only logical thing to do is postpone the wedding. Doesn’t meant that you can’t stay in your relationship and still love/support him…just delay the legal ceremony given the consequences of losing his insurance.)
Good luck.

Say the relationship was between a Capricorn guy who was between 16-18, and a Cancer Girl who was between 18-21. Referring to horoscopes, how would the relationship work out with a Older Cancer girl and a younger capricorn guy?
Best Answer - Chosen by Voters
it would be a success .. capricorns like long term relationship and that is what cancer has to offer. They are like cancer .. once they got you, they would never let go. I am currently going out with a cancer girl and she is my everything. Cancer and Capricorns are, however, opposites but you both got special things in you that will help each other create that strong bond. What cancer lack, capricorns will help vice versa. So in other words, if you a capricorn and going out with a cancer, you got your self a wedding in the future. Good luck
