My question is if it could somehow endanger me of the cancer it can cause

I'm 17 years old and eleven months ago I was diagnosed with a brain tumor in the core of my brian. The tumor was removed, but that's not what I'm curious about. I've been smoking cigarettes for about a year now and a few months ago I developed a cough. It doesn't sound like anything worse than a common cold cough and I dismissed it as nothing, but it hasn't gone away. It isn't a constant cough either.. one to three times a day i'll just cough out of nowhere, sometimes there is phlegm in the cough, but I've never examined it for any signs of blood. On top of the cough, I went to a grade school for 9 years which was very very old and falling apart in some ways. Supposedly the building carried asbestos and even though the risks of that are mainly in the demolition of a building....there were holes in the walls and many patches among the piping. In the past 2 years, 3 kids (myself included) who attended the school were diagnosed with some kind of cancer. I had a brain tumor, another had lymphoma, and the last one had something in his leg. Are the coughs normal or should I be concerned? Let me know
Something I forgot to add...a few months ago I lost 30 lbs in 3 weeks doing almost nothing. I went from 195 lbs. to 162 lbs. I've always had a fast metabolism but this striked me as a little extreme

I think they are. Heath Ledger sustained wounds from shards of the World Trade Center while he was walking near the buildings when they collapsed. He died because the asbestos from the building shards leaked into his bloodstream and gave him cancer. He kept the cancer from killing him with chemo for seven years but then he died =( I'm a personal friend of his mother and that's what she told me. R.I.P. good buddy.

I was cleaning out my grandads shed, because he is ill and has the disease mesiotheloma, and we moved some stuff that may have contained or is asbestis. Plus, we found out that there is asbestis in the walls of the shed, and that if the walls were knocked or vibrated, it would disturb the asbestis fibres within. So, what im wondering and im quite worried about, is would i be at risk of breathing in these asbestos fibres, and developing a related cancer to asbestosis or something?

Now i bet she has cancer
BUT WE WILL ONLY KNOW IN 25-40
YEARS! I CANT WAIT THAT LONG I WANT TO FIND OUT AND GET RID OF IT NOW!
AND MAYBE I HAVE IT TOO!
IM SO SCARED AND UPSET WHAT IS GOINNG TO HAPPEN TO US!?
you are all very cruel people.
and very insensitive too/
if you dont have anything constructive to say please don't try and be rude to me for your own pleasure

I Pleural mesothelioma and after a lot of test the only place i have any cancer in my right lung and the doctors think my best chance is to have it removed

plz help, i rlly love this book and want to know what its called

So if homeopathy worked - you could treat

diabetes using highly dilute glucose
cancer using highly dilute asbestos, or cigarette tar, or even water that had been irradiated
sepsis using highly dilute staph aureus

other suggestions welcome.

ANYONE up to trying that next time they are in the ICU?
sidsid - where's the data?
where are the cases of acute and potentially lethal staph aureus sepsis that were cured using homeopathy?

I need some advice i can not stand my fathers partner she has caused me so much pain since they have been together for know 23 years. My mother died when I was 7 years old then it was only my father and I. We got along really well; he would tell people that I was his little princess until she came alone. He basically started to ignore me he would spend most of the time with her. Then when I was about 14 years old she would wear some of my mums nice clothes in front of me which I can remember my mum wearing them and it would upset me so much that I would always cry and she did not care. Then when I would tell my dad that I was not happy with that he got angry at me and would throw the clothes at me. There were fights nearly every night and I did not have family to defend me because my mum’s parents were dead and my dad parents were overseas so at the time all I had were my friends. Then when I was 19 years old my dad partner basically wanted me out and they put me in a caravan park. So basically he chose her over me and I would cry nearly every night. while she was leaving in a nice house. And now my father has cancer caused by asbestos the cancer is stable at the moment. I want to be their for my father but the past still haunts me even thou I live in a nice place and work in admin and life is good I still find it very hard to forgive them and they both think they have done nothing wrong what should I do?
I think some people don't understand my question. If you don't get the support that you need when you are young it makes it a lot harder in life when you are an adult that is what I meant.
