thanks heaps
I went through a phase where my blood pressure meds caused me to react. ACE inhibitors.
I have since changed meds and as a matter of fact...refuse to take anything for months.
I missed a weeks work in Sept. Then missed the second week due to scheduling prob...but I was still sick and glad to be back...Then I worked a week SICK...then I broke my arm and haven't worked Since Oct 15th...I AM STILL COUGHING UP STUFF...and I wheeze and have lived 36 years with a man who had chronic bronchitis (my grandpa) and he died of asbestos cancer...
So what do you think...I'm going back to the doc THR for my arm....we're gonna talk...what does it sound like?
Cough
Bronchitis (that is what I thought in Sept)
Chronic Bronchitis
COPD
I am designing a cancer website, How do I get people to read it? I thought about the paid submission to search engines and heard that they are a rip off. Please take a look at the site and let me know what you think. http://www.mrchecker.com
If your lung cancer is from asbestos, is it diagnosed mesothelioma or can you have other types?
My grandfather was diagnosed with Asbestos Cancer back in Sept, can anyone tell me alittle more about it and the stages a person that has it goes through, My grandfather was a very strong active and healthy man who toud think never fall ill, but over the last couple of months he has gotten real skinny, moves around slowly and has sores that bleed (by the way why would that be). I hate to see my grandfather like this he raised me and Im close, I like to get educated on this horrible form of cancer and what I can do to comfort him. Thanks for your response
Suppose the length of time to onset of lung cancer in asbestos workers is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 26 years and a variance of 4 years squared.
a. What is the standard deviation?
b. What interval of onset times includes about 95% of the workers?
Approximate using empirical rule.
c. Find the exact value for the interval in (b) using z table or z* from t table.
d. What is the probability that an asbestos worker gets lung cancer sooner than 22 years?
I have some information from this site but not clear enough to understand http://mesotheliomaasbestosinfo.blogspot.com/
Describe as best as you can & why is it cancer-causing?
First good answer gets best.
