For those of you who might feel full after eating only a small amount, don't go into panic mode after reading this article, which only mentions certaing types of cancer, all of which are much less likely than soooooo many other less ominous causes. For example (for the purpose of neutralizing), GERD. Which is VERY common.

Sure there is a problem with self-diagnosis, at the same time it's another matter when trying to convince your doctor. After all of the tests and prodding, the doctors says, "It will pass!" Three times I visited the ER and on the third visit the doctor said; "You've been here twice before and was told there is nothing wrong with you!" I had to get mad..."Listen doctor, do your damn job and stop relying on previous reports! Check for yourself and then, tell me that nothing is wrong!" If not, maybe you'd like to talk with my lawyer?" I was completely re-examined and ten hours later, I was informed that there did seem to be a problem with calcium in my kidneys. A blood sample was sent to the lab and the next day, I was informed that I had multi-myeloma (bone cancer). I was immediately admitted into the hospital and commenced chemo...six months later, I walked out of the hospital. My longevity went from 3-months to 24-months and, I'll still probably die from the cancer. The question I'm asking myself; would I have been completely cured if the original doctor had not jumped to the wrong conclusion by stating nothing was wrong with me? Its a waiting game for me and, I'm watching for the doctor to cross the street....(?) What hasn't been stated; Canadian Health Care is based on the availability of cash flow...If the hospital; has a limited budget then, thats too bad for the seriously ill patient. In my case, I had sufficient funds in my bank account to hire a lawyer and made the threat to sue. So, the focus of this article should also be on the doctor not to ignore the symptoms as stated by the patient!

i have all of the above, but have come to the conclusion if i were to live until i was 90 no one would be around in my family or friends that would give me any help. so it would be a blessing just to move on out while im still enjoying my life. if pain and suffering is in my future then perhaps its time i knew it. my grandfather was on his death bed when i was just a boy i cried and said Grandpop dont leave me. his words are still in my mind to this day." Mickey There aint none of us getting out of this alive"
