Question by Rachel!: Which season is the sun its strongest in Michigan?
I know that question is worded awkwardly, but what I mean to ask is more so, when am I more likely to get a stronger sun burn as well? There have been times where I’ve laid out in the spring and gotten the worst burn all season. I know that it could just be the first time I was really exposing myself, but, my mom used to tell me it was stronger in the spring and I was wondering if that’s true, or what factors go into this? *don’t worry, I almost always wear sunblock, I’m not trying to get melanoma”

Thank you!

Answer by Cindy
Definitely summer! That’s when Michigan is closest to the sun. I’d probably put it around the summer solstice, June 21.

You are just more vulnerable in the spring because you haven’t built up a tan yet. Also, if there is a wind the sun can be very strong but you don’t notice because you are not that hot.

Melanoma

In this patient testimonial, Alexander Jones talks about his experience with melanoma cancer and the CyberKnife Treatment. Alexander Jones has melanoma cancer. It started off with a constant headache for three days that would not go away. He finally made his way to the emergency room where a biopsy of a lymph node on his neck showed melanoma and was told he had a brain tumor. His doctor told Alexander about the CyberKnife method and having gone through four sessions, he explains the process as painless and experiencing no side effects. It has been an awesome experience for Alexander and feels fortunate that CyberKnife was offered to him.

Q&A: What causes bright spots in 1 year old brain mri?

Age Spots Cause

Question by ronnie: What causes bright spots in 1 year old brain mri?
He was born at 25 weeks, as a twin, weighing 1lb, 6 oz. His adjusted age is 11 months and now weighs 22 lbs. He didn’t have any problems with bleeding on the brain or infection (unfortunately his brother did). He was on oxygen for the first 8 months of his life. He had the MRI because the doctor thought his head was too big in proportion to his height and weight. His fine and gross motor skills are at the 1 year old level. His vision is okay. The doctor said the MRI was normal, with a small bright spot. I don’t know if we should be concerned about the bright spot.

His doctor was on vacation so I couldn’t talk to him.

Answer by Brian
You should have asked the doctor while you were there.

So instead, you’re asking millions of 14-year-old know-it-alls.

Good luck.

Liver Spots Treatment

Question by babsho60: Husband told brain cancer is terminal and already at Stage 4?
Your comment: My husband suddenly became very dizzy four months ago (May, 2010), began losing weight and feeling terrible. Dr. diagnosed him as having vertigo, but he was still losing weight. Finally, thank God, we saw the Dr.’s nurse-practicioner. She ordered x-rays and ct. scan which found spots on his lung. From there we went to a lung specialist who ordered a lung biopsy for 20 July. He had to go into hospital for severe impaction so that biopsy was postponed until first week of August. Since then it has been a roller-coaster ride of Oncologist visits, and then a Radiologist. He is to begin radiation treatments Mon. Aug. 30. He must have had this for quite some time for it has spread to his brain. He has both small cell and non-small cell cancer. I blame myself for not being more pro-active earlier when he was first dizzy in May and demanding x-rays. My husband will have a little more time because of the radiation treatments (10). The Oncologist did not even suggest chemo because the cancer has already attacked his sternum, lungs and liver. Right now I am dealing with anger issues against myself and his regular doctor who was so quick to dismiss it as just another case of vertigo. We even went to an ear, nose and throat specialist who said the same thing. Please give me the tools to help me deal with this and be an even better care-giver. We have been married 46 years and I sure wanted to have him around for quite a few more

Best answer:

Answer by tired person
This is so sad and unfair. Don’t blame yourself too much… you’re not psychic. You were probably just good at hoping for the best. That’s a quality to love in a person. The doctor should have definitely done better, but that part has always been out of your control. You two have been married longer than I’ve been alive so I don’t think I can wrap my head around it, even. I would say try to forget about anger, or put the anger off for later, because it will do nothing for you, you don’t need another poison. Make the time you do have all about each other.
