My grandmother died of breast cancer 11 years ago and my mom has finally won her battle against breast cancer (which she had for about a year to fight). My mom was my grandmother’s oldest child and I’m my mother’s oldest child. Yesterday I felt a bump in my left breast and became concerned. I am only 18, but I am worried. I also have type 1 diabetes which I inherited from my grandmother’s side of the family.

Do I have high chances of having breast cancer?

I found out yesterday that I need to go through chemo, which entails bone scans, pet scans, placing a port into my chest, lung scans. Its all very overwhelming. I am nervous about loosing my hair too. Can anyone give me some details about the process and how long it may take? Thank you.

If chILD is suggested, efforts should be made to determine what type of chILD the child might have as different types of chILD have different long term issues that can be serious. This will require many tests. One thing is clear; chILD in infants and young children is different than in adults. A pediatric pulmonary doctor with expertise in chILD should be consulted.
An infant or child may have chILD if he or she has at least 3 of the following categories of problems without a known cause. Infants can have chILD from birth that rapidly progresses but older infants and children have these problems persistently for months.
1. Symptoms of abnormal breathing (cough, fast breathing, retractions, exercise intolerance)
2. Evidence for problems with oxygen (abnormal oxygen at rest, night or with exercise)
3. Abnormal chest Xrays

4. Presence of abnormal sounds

Kids around 10-15 it seems i never see older people with austism but I’m not sure and I wanted to know really badly what other people know and think.

The grown-ups in my life don’t like to keep me informed and refuse to answer my questions about this kind of stuff. He went to another city (we live in a rural community) about 5 hours away for 3 months! What is going on, and what are the odds he will make it out alive?
And I think it’s the lymphnodes in his liver / intestine area.
