Surviving Mesothelioma

We all know that there are different kinds of cancer but there are rare form of cancer we don't know about unless you are a victim of it or someone you know has it. If you have been diagnosed that you have rare kind of cancer and you only have few months to live, what will you do? I know this is a very hard question to answer and you would never think of being diagnosed with cancer but there are some people who survived and live there life longer than what the doctor told them. There is a man who named Paul Kraus who was diagnosed with mesothelioma and was only given few months to live. From his own experienced he wrote a book Surviving Mesothelioma and Other Cancers: A Patient's Guide. After his battled with these rare kind of cancer and survived through researched of different kinds of therapies and worked with his doctors to create his own regimen to heal twelve years later he is alive and enjoys a good quality of life.

Have you heard about mesothelioma? It is a rare form of cancer that the cancerous cells can be found in the mesothelium. Mesothelium is a protective sac that covers most of our body's internal organs. There are actually two types of mesothelioma, the pleural is the sac that covers the pleural cavity around the lungs and the other one is peritoneal which involves the tissue that covers the abdominal area. I have learned about mesothelioma through the website called Surviving Mesothelioma: A Patient's Guide. The website is all about mesothelioma that tackles facts, alternative approaches, conventional treatments, survivors, doctors, lawyers and even news that woul be helpful to those who needs miracle in there lives. As I mentioned above there are two types of mesothelioma. Peritoneal mesothelioma is one of them, they have a page that showed some information about people who survived these cancer. For the majority of patients their mesothelioma prognosis often comes poor but many doctors can recommend treatment options. The thing is don't give up do your research about your disease and try to be positive about it, keep fighting and don't loose hope.

Information About Bikini Waxing

Lawmakers in New Jersey considered to ban Brazilian bikini waxes after two women claimed they had contracted infections from the procedure. The measure was eventually voted down but the fact remains. According to Carol Livoti, M.D., a gynecologist in New York City and a Shape advisory board member, you can contract a sexually transmitted disease during a bikini wax. Bacteria and viruses, such as herpes, can be spread from one client to another through contaminated tweezers, scissors or surfaces. Reusing one spatula (double dipping) on multiple clients, may also put you at risk, as it may spread any microorganisms from previous clients that got in the wax. To protect yourself, seek out a salon that's staffed with a licensed aesthetician and has strict sanitary policies, including using hospital-grade disinfectant on any tools that will be reused.
