    I consumed capsules containing phenolphthalein, should I be concerned ?

    For 10 days, I used some weightloss formula called Herbalmax real slim, 1 capsule a day. It was prescribed by a doctor. I later found that it contains phenolphthalein, which as I read in some credible sources that it is carcinogenic, for long-term use, so I stopped using it. However, I am wondering if I should be concerned about the 10 capsules I used ? I think I might be over-reacting but just to be safe.

    There is hope..

    I personally don't have cancer and I honestly can't imagine how hard it is. It seems like more and more people are getting it as they grow a little older. My grandfather whom I was very close to passed from cancer a few months ago only because they caught it too late due to him not wanting to go to the doctor. However with the new technology that keeps coming out and these all natural ways of curing cancer gives me hope that one day soon they will find a cure.

    Has cancer returned?

    I had a pet scan done yesterday. My drs office isn't in until Tuesday. I picked up the results from the hospital. It says I have increased FDG with a maximum SUV of 2.2. This is where I have a swollen lymph node. I assume I have a form of lymphoma

    Finding a Doctor in a New Area

    I recently moved to a new area, and a few weeks ago I found a hard lump in my lower leg that has not gone away. I'd like to get it checked out as soon as possible because I'm concerned it could be cancer or something else. The problem is I have to wait almost a month to see a doctor because I'm not an established patient. Is there any other option for getting this lump checked sooner (is urgent care a good option in this case for instance)? Or is a month waiting time not something I should....
