hashish r asked:

I was wondering if someone had just been diagnosed with cancer and had not yet begun treatment, would he/she be able to get it past a life insurance agent and exam in order to get a more reasonable policy?
P.S. I am not looking for comments about the legalities or ethics of doing this, just practicalities.

Can a CT scan be trusted to diagnose a brain tumor?

Courtney asked:

HI I am 20 years old, and my sister thinks she has a brain tumor. It all started in mid january when her neck muscles were tight and it caused her to get headaches, then finally in march she went to the doctors and they gave her a CT scan to make sure there were no masses, swelling, etc. The radiologist said the resluts were normal and that the neck tension is causing all the pain so they sent her to phyiscal therepy. After that she felt really good and things were getting back to normal, but then her neck hurt again but not as much and her headaches really didnt come back. So should she be worried that the CT scan missed something?

Stage 3B Stomach Cancer?

Dave asked:

My wife has just been diagnosed with stage 3B stomach cancer. I am worried to death about her. Here is what I already know..
Her cancer has spread to the outermost layer of the stomach wall and is found in 15 lymph nodes near the tumor.
~That is all french to me~ What does that even mean?

I also know that the doctor is going to start neoadjuvant therapy.

What is this? What is going to happen to her? What is going to be the side effects of this? What can or should I do to help her?

Once again, I am turning to the answer board for help. Please give me any and all advice.

Thank You!

B L A N K asked:

I have had this little lump in my ****** for months.. it hasn’t grown and it’s not painful.. but it isn’t going away. I never went to my doctor because I thought if it was cancer I would know it and there is nothing to worry about. Should I be worried?
