i am 53 good general health and trying to keep a good attitude, Dr says prognosis is good but who knows? Im scared and worried chemo will be worse than the surgery which was horiffic, i had tumours around colon and scattered thru the abd, oh btw, i had total hysterectomey ( yes ovaries too) FIVE yrs ago and still got ovarian cancer, Please tell me this is survivable. I need to hear form survivors!!!
Answer:
I am an ovarian cancer survivor. I was diagnosed in 2005 when I was 54. I had a total hysterectomy and chemo. I joined an ovarian cancer support group before I started chemo and that was one of the best gifts I gave to myself. There were women in the group who were 17-25 year survivors of stage 3 cancer..,..,which means they were diagnosed and had chemo 17-25 years ago when chemo was not as good as it is today. So YES THIS IS MOST DEFINITELY SURVIVABLE! Please check with your oncologist BEFORE chemo and ask if they have ovarian cancer support groups in your town. I never wanted to hear the "c" word....I had never had surgery, perfect health, hate pills, so the thought of the "c" word, surgery and chemo.I was horrified. Cried the entire first visit to the cancer center. But, I have to say, I have had the flu that was worse than chemo...not that I would want it again,..but, it was not as bad as I thought it would be. I will be happy to answer any questions you have. NO STRESS,. Happy thoughts. This too shall pass.
i wish the best of luck 2 ya!!鈾?
My daughter survived ovarian cancer.Chemo is diffrent for everyone.I hope you have a good support system as this helps so much with recovery.I'll be praying for you.Keep your chin up :)
There is only one cure for cancer.That is your immune system.Educate yourself on the internet about your bodies natural way of healing itself.

Outbreaks after menstrual cycle?
I have been taking pills to help treat and cut back my herpes outbreak. Why does it seem like everytime after my cycle ends that I seem to outbreak? even tho i have been on the medicine for over 6 months...anything i can do to help lessen the outbreaks after my menstrual cycle or any other ideas??
Answer:
I get outbreaks just before my period starts - it is related to your fluctuating hormones, it is very common for women of childbearing age with herpes to have outbreaks related to their cycle. It can help to take the birth control pill.

Out of control sexually active sister help!?
You know how you always have that one person in the family who is hard headed well we have one too. Let me just get down to the issue. My 21 year old sister is very sexually active. We just found out that she has had gonorhea and chlamydia since october of last year. The doctors had been calling my moms house for a while for my sister but she never returned their phone calls. My mom got really suspicious when my sis started to get sick. So after 7 months my mom decided to open her mail and that is when she found out. We are so worried about her and she is obviously afraid to go and get treated. Trust me we have tried everything. I am scared that she might be in some serious trouble health wise. Our family really needs some help. Please only serious answers only this is a a serious issue.
Answer:
It is a pity that the parents of a 21 year old girl do not know the where abouts of their child. It is their irresponsibility that has resulted in this precarious situation. " Love" is a Divine medicine. Lack of it will tempt people to go after Sex. I am sorry to be more critical you who expressed helplessness and concern over the girl in question.
The fact that your sister is afraid to go to a doctor show that she is scared and desperate. You need your mother to have a close door discussion with your sister. She should be convinced that unless she takes the treatment, her life will be a misery. Once she accepts she should be taken to a doctor immediately. If she does not agree, arrange a consultation with a psychiatrist. Both your mother and your sister need counsellings and then alone they can get along later.
Family life is special. You must exchange your love and affection more often. Then , and then alone your can prevent people going astray. An everyday dinner table conference is ideal for such unity. Unfortunately, everybody neglect it.
They don't put that type of info in a letter.
If your sister went to get tested they usually give you a shot right then and there just in case. (well they did 30 yrs ago anyhow)
If your sister is 21 it is really no body's business.
Find something else to worry about.
if the only way to get her to the doctor is to drag her, then do it
Those are easily and inexpensively treated. She just needs a couple shots of antibiotics. No biggie.
This is a major issue, not just because she has STD's, but because she is too sexually active. Promiscuity is a sign of something else more sinister, usually of sexual abuse as a child. I hope that she's just a wild child, but this sounds like more than just an experimental kick.
Perhaps, after she has her treatments, you should encourage her to get some kind of counseling, either from a therapist or a GOOD minister or priest--not some money-hungry jackleg preacher. This way, she will be treated from her illnesses from the inside out.
Good luck to you and her.
1] if she is not treated, she can develop serious complications
a] sterility
b] arthritis
c] skin problems
d] death - the belief is chlamydia can affect the heart lining
2] if she did become pregnant with chlamydia, the baby could get very ill
DRAG her to the doctor, and sit on her while she gets condom lessons!
I'm sorry to hear about your sister. First of all, your sister to needs to realize for herself that she has what she has and she's willing to help herself first and foremost. A couple of suggestions is have her talk with someone who has this disease and can relate to her and also a support group. She's very lucky to have a good support system from her family. With gonorrhea and chlyamidia it needs to be treated and once you have these STD's it stuck for life unfortunately. Don't give up trying. Like I said she has to be the one who realizes what she has first. and willing to step up and get treatment. Also she is passing on this disease which is not healthy either. Without treatment, her immunity system will be unable to fight effectively and unfortunately lead to death. I promise that once shes ready to step up it will be beneficial and extremely become more easier for her.
Your sister is 21 and should be responsible for her actions.
This will be a harsh lesson for her to learn, but she must learn it.
Your mom should never have opened your sisters mail, no matter what the relation, it is illegal to do that.
You could TRY talking to her, but don't expect it to do any good.

OUCHY boob what's wrong?
My boobies hurt, maybe they're growing? I've been off my period enough to know it's not that anymore, but they've been sooore to touch for days, especially at night. I'm not pregnant. Do you think I might have some kind of allergy that would make my boobs sore? ha that would rock wouldn't it. seriously though, is it possible to have allergies that make boobs sore? I don't think they're swollen, maybe just a tad. Anyways yeah what are somethings that can cause sore boobs besides periods and pregnancies?
Answer:
why dont you try apply virgin coconut oil , see what happens
First, please stop calling them boobs. That just makes you sound so common and trashy. They are your breasts.
If you are under 18-19, then yes, they are probably growing.
(If you're having sex, I hope you are over 18.) Even being off your period doesn't mean your hormone levels couldn't still be up some and that would make them sore. No, allergies do not make your breasts sore. If it continues, then I would go see your doctor.
It could be retaining water which can happen when you eat lots of salty foods and drink a lot of caffeine. Lay off the salt and caffeine for a few days and if that doesn't help, you should probably see a doctor.
To answer you second question, Pepsi of any kind contains caffeine and ramen soups contain a lot of salt. Read the ingredients for caffeine and sodium. Chips contain a lot of salt too. Growing breasts can also cause sensitivity too which I didn't mention in the first part of my answer.
you should do a self breast check to see if you have any lumps and if you do go to the dr asap
could be growing pains, or if you're around an air conditioner,or something it could be that ( nipples are very sensitive to cold)
It's very possible your breasts are still growing - that would cause them to be a bit sore. Is the pain exactly like when you have your period? If yes, then it is most likely hormonal - when you say esp at night, I hate to tell you but that was exactly what I found when I was pregnant. If definately not that, then have you started new birth control recently, or any hormonal medications.
Another possibility is an extremely bad fitting bra. For it to be so bad it is making your breasts sore to touch, then it would have to be cutting off circulation or digging in all the way around either the underwire or the top of the bra.
The only other thing I can think about is if you have recently had your bra (only) washed in something different. If you have not washed a new bra before using it (and have been wearing it consisitently) or only this item of clothing has been washed in something you are allergic to then it is possible you are just having a skin reaction, but it only happens to affect that area because it is only your bra that has been washed in the allergen.
So, in short I suppose my answer is: wash your underwear, change the bra you are wearing, make sure you are not pregnant, and if none of these then go and see your doctor.
Good luck!
My guess is that they are probably still growing. Your chest is always a bit sore when you're growing..

OUCH! How do I manage the worst tummy cramps?
Answer:
-first, you can take some advil(or midol; works wonders).
-what helps is wearing comfroable strechy clothing, i know it hurts more for me when im wearing jeans.
-and of that doesnt work, try having carbohydrates, bread helps me alot.
-also if u take medcation try to have some bread first hand.
-also walking around helps me alot and having a heating pad on my tummy helps
-you can buy little heat patches at the store and put them on if u have to go to work.
-and for me, i cant stay in one spot if i have tummy cramps,so i walk around
-try one or all of these combined and itll definently lessen the pain.
hope i helped!
try two advil and a heating pad
eat a banana or drink hot mint or chamomile tea.midol,pamprim or advil works too...
A hot bath.
Try a hot water bottle on your tummy and curl your knees up into the fetal position and lay on your side. Do nothing except rest and take care of you. And with any luck the pains will go away in a day or 2. But be patient and don't try to resume your activities too soon.
Ouch! Cramps! Help?
My stupid period cramps have returned in full force.
Anything that I can do to at least feel decent again?
Answer:
Well let's see, Take an Excedrin or and Ibuprofen first, Hot tea, Hot broth, Heating pad on your tummy. Walking around the house, deep knee bends always helped me. Just give yourself a day off until the worst is over. It always ends.
Just consider this the fact that you are female and part of the fact that you can make babies. Of course the elimination of this menstrual pain means you can be pregnant. So consider it a badge of being female.
Doctors cannot stop all pain. Trust me 25 years of very difficult periods, they just cannot. Nurture yourself, and feel better.
i'm not sure it it helps for period cramp...but...try to eat more bananas... some stuff contain in banana can help prevent the production of a certain liquids in our body that will cause cramp...
I would recommend trying a heating pad or a hot water bottle if you have one, and another thing that I found helpful was to increase the level of iron at that time by eating things like spinach, raisins, and peanut butter (if not allergic to peanuts of course). I found that the iron increase helped ease some of the menstrual flow.
If the cramping is so severe that you can't function then I would recommend seeing your dr for further evaluation to see what they think is going on to cause this pain to be so severe.
I usually use the herbal bags that you can put in the microwave and drink some (hot) tea. If that doesnt work or I will be busy that day then I just use a Motrin or some pain killer.
Get Some heating pads from the Pharmacy. they work wonders, ( I know i have very bad cramps to the point of fainting sometimes).. and some midol or Tylenol. Leave it on you Ovary area and relax.. it does help. Believe me...
Get Better...
Bcn_mimosa from Barcelona, Spain
heatingpads hotwater in a water bottle try advill
i'd suggest you dont encourage continuous use of pain killers coz they prove harmful to the uterus in time.try soakin few grams of asofoetida in water for 1-2 hours then drink that water n swallow the asofoetida with water(coz it wil b bitter).but i bet they help a lot. hav had experience myself. good luk!
midol and a nap
When I get my period I tend to get cramps whether I am exercising or laying on the couch to get rid of them I take one tablet of Motrin. However when you try it look at the back to find out how many tablets to take. Good Luck!!!

Other ways to relieve your libido?
Other than having sex or playing with yourself is there like a meditation or Tai Chi or something like that? I was with my baby daddy for 7 years and just recently left him. But I'm starting to get sexually frusterated. I don't know how to relieve it and I don't want to go back to him for it..
Do toys really DO work?
Answer:
i am a believer that a good soft toy works great for the ladies in my life..if the real thing is not available..not a vibrator, but more of a penis shaped toy, one that is soft and has a head on it..that way you can tickle any part you want to.
there are some meditation techniques you can use
and yes toys do work
B.
Toys do work!! TRUST ME!
Yes, toys really do work :P
For first timers, I would recommend the magic bullet :)
Wedding cake will take away a females sex drive.
Get yourself some toys!.You know the kind..Oh yes they work!!!...You'll only need a man for mowing the lawn..
Well, aside from toys, I just get my bills out. That pretty much kills the desire for anything!
Toys work. That's why so many people-in relationships and single-use them. It's not the same as sex because there isn't a physical connection but it can at least get you that release which can help.
Joining a gym can also help. Just having somewhere else to put your energy and.frustration so to speak can ease the tension.
