my mom’s going back to China and her brother’s wife just got diagnosed with lung cancer, what kind of gift should i get her? Are there any medications or food that is good for lung cancer?

My mother and I have essentially put our lives on hold to take care of my terminally ill grandfather. We have family members who don’t want to respect my mother because she is disabled (they stated it to the police when we had to call the police on them). I had to call the police and file a report against one family member who attempted to attack my mother, and ended up fighting me. They’ve come over our house (which is actually my grandfather’s house but we live with him to take care of him) and have refused to leave. The police again had to be called to make them leave. They have called DHR on us claiming abuse (which was proven to be unfounded), they then called DHR again saying we were murdering my grandfather by over-medicating him with morphine (which was also found to be untrue). They then took me and my mother to court, but my mother was granted guardianship despite what they said. We had to pay money for a lawyer for this event as well. The court said they are allowed to visit between the hours of 10am-8pm. When they come in, they sneak in food to give to my grandfather (we’ve caught them), and then his hands/feet swell and WE have to answer to the nurse. They leave the door open for one another, so we don’t know who is coming in and out of our own house.

Can we sue them for mental anguish? It’s hard enough taking care of someone who is 85, has lung cancer, AND mesothelioma, then we have to worry about this. What can we do?

Am thinking that:
- lung cancer, from what I’ve read, looks like any old thing until it’s too late
- doctors use research to inform their judgement around testing
- research suggests that cancer tends to show up in older people

Someone who started smoking at 11 will have smoked for 20 years by the time they’re 31. Their doctor might not bother testing for cancer because the age profile is lower than the typical threshold (age 50, I think).
Thanks Denise, for replying.

But if the number of cigarettes smoked is, as many people say, the most important cause of lung cancer, what role does age play?

One of the articles above suggests that early smoking affects development in a special way…

Google has disabled my account due to a visitor clicking on a high paying AD several times.

I am feeling the sting right now and don’t know what other advertising sites to use?

I have appealed but have ben informed that 99% don’t get their account reinstated.

One site is general – a question and answer site and includes all categories, and the other is a specific niche all about mesothelioma cancer.

Just looked into ADBrite advertising and opened up an account but have since been informed that this is very low paid.

Please can you suggest the best thing next to google adsense – or may be there is a better advertising system than google?

Highly appreciate your help on this, Thank you Ann.
