Hi, I was recently diagnosed with melanoma. I have very fair hair and skin, and I spent my teens tanning and burning, so I can see why. I was in shock when my doctor diagnosed me, and I guess I didn't think about what happens after treatment. I have a thicker melanoma, so my doctor recommended excision. He told me all about the procedure, that it is relatively simple, etc. I feel that I have a good chance of making a totally normal recovery. So, what happens after the excision? How often do I need to get follow up? Or, is there some other procedure I will then need? Thanks.

My husband and I are trying to start a family. I have severe acid reflux and a hernia. I'm worried that I will be in a lot of pain with the pressure being put onto my hernia, as well as the worsening of the acid reflux. Also, will I be able to stay on my acid reflux medications? Thanks.

Hello, I have an extremely sore left foot, and the symptoms I am suffering from are swelling, pain on the ball of my foot and between my toes. The only thing I can find online is that it might be a nueroma (sp)? Any ideas what it could be?

Hi there: I am 20 and got diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when I was 16. It has obviously has changed my life a lot. I am used to giving myself insulin and monitoring my blood sugar by now, but I am frustrated with monitoring my blood sugar. I do single dose injections. I check my blood sugar 3 times a day. I keep having my monitoring break on me or not last long, or get inaccurate or need to be recalibrated. I just need an accurate system!!! If anyone out there has a blood check monitoring system they really like, please let me know. Because I can't take this anymore.
