my dad was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer end of feb 08. symptoms started begining of february. he was paraplegic and ex smoker gave up 4 years ago. he also had heart attack end of august 07. some say that cancer is dormant before it forms a tumor and my question is do you think cancer was there before the heart attack or did heart attack change something for the cancer to start.
My Dad has had a persistant cough for a month now, he got antibiotics but they didnt do any good. He doesnt smoke. He went to the docs and he listened through the stethoscope and couldnt hear anything so he has to go for an xray tomorrow. Im worried that by sending him for an xray that he may have lung cancer.
my dad said smoking one joint is like smoking 26 cigarettes, I highly doubt that. I think more people die from lung cancer due to tobacco not cannabis.sooo whats true?
My dad has lung cancer and I am just concerned, any additional info. helps to.
My dad remarried again when my birth mother died in 2000, My stepmother was not fair to me and my siblings, she treated her kids better, our father was always on the road, he was a truck driver. My stepmother has always been a thief, she once got caught stealing a pair of pants and turtle candy from wal mart and they press charges, she went to jail for 3 months….My father died in 2005 from mesothelioma and I moved out right away, because I was sick and tired of my stepmother, but we recently found out that she is still getting my father’s SSI checks and cashing them, he been dead for 5 years now….I’m wondering how can I find out if this is true, so I can put her in jail. We also was told that their will be an compensation, because my father passed away from an asbestos-related disease, I’m almost 100% positive that the money might go to our stepmother and her kids….Do anyone know how that works?? I’m just in a tough situation and I want her put in jail, because 3 months was not long enough!!! Any advice will be appreciated!! Thanks :-)

^That’s my ceiling in my room (and around our house). It’s been like that since I can remember. I’m 14 years old and I’m not sure how old this house is but definitely older than me and my brother (he’s 16). I never really paid attention to those commercials about mesothelioma.. Now I’m freaked out.. Is that asbestos? I’ve lived hear most my life with my dad and brother..
