			<description><![CDATA[Ok I really need some help. I am posting this under the cancer section due to the fact I am running out of other things it could be and am really worried it may be cancer. Here is a little info:
I am 27 years old, have 3 kids (8, 6 and 4), I have no gallbladder, appendix, or right ovary or tube. I've had a tubal a little over 4 years ago and have had several issues with ovarian cysts in the past. The last 4-5 months things have gotten really wierd. I have a mole that was always there on the outside of my vaginal lips. Here lately its been extremely itchy, painful at times and the top of it has turned white where it had been all black. It feels more like a bump now. As it got worse so did other symptoms I noticed. I'm always tired, I'm itchy (mostly the mole but sometimes other parts of my vagina). I also have missed my period for the last 3 months now and that is really wierd. Even when I had cysts and my surgeries I NEVER missed a period. I have been having either white smooth discharge or blood tinged discharge on occasion but not all the time. I have a good amount of pelvic pain as well. I went to my doctor who tested me for all the major STD's and they all came back negative as well as yeast or an infection. It was neither of those. She didnt feel another cyst however I do have an ultrasound coming up Tuesday. I am having no symptoms that my period will be here anytime soon and with everything else going on I'm extremely worried. Also my blood work came back that my white blood cell count was a little high even though I have been on antibiotics for a month because she started treating me for everything when I first came in and my potassium is low. If anyone else has gone through something like this please let me know I am worried and my doc even said she is not sure what is wrong. But there again if she thought it was something major she wouldn't say due to not wanting to worry me until all the facts are in. Thank you so much for reading and look forward to recieving any kind of help.

Thanks again]]></description>

			<description>hi. 
its been 4 weeks since my leep procedure. i feel all healed and i have been getting back to my normal lifestlye.
last night though, my fiance and i had sex for the first time in a month. 
we used condoms and to be honest it actually felt like the condom was rubbing up against something inside. and it kinda felt uncomfortable. so then we just took the condom off. now this morning i wake up with massive and painful cramps and lots of blood. its not like normal period blood. b/c i just had my period during my healing period from my surgery. now is this bleeding a warning sign that i should go back to my dr?? :confused:</description>

			<title>Breast Lumps  19?</title>

			<description><![CDATA[Hey everyone. I am wondering how much mammograms cost? And a full breast exam runs at? I am only 19 but I've always had a big fear of having breast cancer. I feel a lump but I don't know if it's normal what I'm feeling or if I'm overreacting or something. The lump is deep in my breast and I've had them for quite awhile. I am trying to get a doctor's appointment set up, and I am hoping they are just like my Mom's, benign. I am just really stressed about it cause my stepmom just died from colon cancer, and of course all the fears of dying young run through my head. I don't have medical insurance and I guess I just need a little information and reassurance, although I know I can't get that till I go get check and make for sure everything is alright...]]></description>
