dr. nordstrom ( who invented the needle biopsy) pursued research into this area and a man named.

Some people survive cancer because the type of cancer does resond to treatment. There are some forms of cancer that cannot be treated or cannot be treated if has been allowed to progress.

I had a patient today that was dx with breast cancer 2 years ago, now it's in remission. My best friend had breast cancer and died 1 year ago, her's did not respond to treatment.

There are a lot of variables, you can't just lump everything together and call it cancer.

New Corporate Smoking Policy - Need some suggestions.

by El Kabong in

jw
friends

i work for a fairly large corporation.

our company is establishing a new tobacco policy where smokers and tobacco users are no longer allowed to use tobacco in any form, either cigarettes, cigars, pipes, chew, or snuff, anywhere on company property.

this includes inside or outside the building, the parking lot, or even in your own personal vehicle while in the parking lot.

I work for a hospital - no smoking anywhere. If you are caught you get a write up, 3 write ups and you are gone!!

They do however offer support groups for smoking cessation, as well as $$$ for medication or no smoking aids.

I don't smoke so it's not an issue for me, however my friend does and I'm constantly covering her while she goes for a smoke break (riding around the block), this can be annoying also!!

Good luck

Check out this hypocrital conduct

by avidbiblereader in

last night was my oldest daughters birthday (22), we went out for supper with some friends and family, we went into the texas roadhouse where she serves bar and waits tables, they have this one thing they do for birthdays where all the servers sing, yell and clap, they also ask you to "saddle up" which means to sit on a saddle they bring out on wheels as they all yell and howler, real fun, though!.

well sitting behind us is a whole table of witness from my sister hall that i use to go to, mother with three grown kids (25, 22, 21) and their spouses, they watched and didn't say a word to me and wouldn't even make eye contact with me, oooh i am the bogey man.. well guess what they did after we left, they didn't know my daughter didn't leave yet.

saddled up two of their own, clapped and sang birthday songs..

OK now, I'm really an apostate

by dawg in

so, i go to my jw uncle's funeral for obvious reasons!

after the funeral my family invites me to dinner, something we haven't done for some time (probably 8 years or so) as i'm considered disassociated not disfellowshipped.

i guess this is allowed per the new jw policy but since that crap changes from time to time i'm not sure.

You can only rely on the Jdub org for one thing:

To make your life a living HELL!!!

Think very carefully before you go back, stick around and read some of the threads. If you decide to go back good luck, but my advise for you is to RUN, VERY FAST in the opposite direction. You have your life together, keep it that way.

Q for doctors out there?

by hamsterbait in

since rheumatoid arthritis is an auto immune disease, why don't people with this problem get immuno suppressors, like people who have had transplants?

wouldn't this stop your body attacking its own cartilage?.

i had a flare up today, and i can barely sit upright at the 'puter.. what triggers these sudden stiffenings?.

Hey ham,

I'm not a doctor, but I am a RN so I'll try my best to explain:

Patients take medication when they have transplants to keep their body from rejecting the new "donor organ". The auto immune disease, in your case rheumatoid arthritis is different, your body is turning on itself, same as diabetes, lupus, MS so the meds that keep you from rejecting a "donor organ" would not work. (as far as I know. new things come out every day so there may be some "new light" on these organ transplant meds).

Some researchers say that the weather can trigger a flare up, if you are sick that can cause a flare up, even stress. Are you on Prednisone or Metheltrexate?

I'm sorry you are feeling bad and hope you get better soon!!
