You are describing dermoids or dermoid cysts.\n\nFor further information from a medically-intended site check:\nhttp://www.emedicine.com/derm/topic686.htm\n\nOtherwise Wikipedia provides a decent entry:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dermoid_cyst

No, they are not connected, Hair and nails grow differently on every person. Your diet could help hair or nail growth. And nails are not made of hair, Fingernails and toenails, are made of protein and are a form of modified hair, but also contain calcium.

Nails are primarily keratin, a protein. In fact the same protein found in hair and earwax amongst other things.\n\nYou can extract calcium from hair, just as you can extract copper, arsenic and other metals. But they only exist in trace amounts and you'd need a mass spec. or GC to detect them.\n\nOf course if you have access to a GC or mass spec then analysis of hair for metals would be pretty cool. Because of the way that hair grows you can even work out when people were 'poisoned' by analysing the hair in different lengths.

I had cancer in my colon,bladder, ovaries and appendix. I was on chemo before and after. It was called Xeloda. I was on it for 6 months. It is in pill formation and it has alot less side affects. I had no hair loss and very little nausea. I read in recent articles that it is just as effective if not more than other chemos available. It was giving to me by a local hospital and then by Memorial Sloan Kettering. Ask your oncologist about it but always listen to what they think is best for you. There are over 3,000 different chemos and they would know what would work best for you. I'm Cancer free for a year now and I wish you the same. Good Luck and God Bless!

they  are not  symptoms of cancer\nthey  are  manifestations of the cytotoxic  drugs used to  treat  cancer as these  drugs  attack cells with high mitotic activety and kill them  wich  include  a variety of cells like the cancerous cells the guts mucosal cells lining  the bone marrow cells and hair follicles

Hi, the way they explained it in my dad's case was that the excess calcuim was blocking up his kidneys.  The calcium comes from the bones as the cancer erodes them.  The kidneys can't handle too much, so dialysis may be required at some point.

A lot like having a flu bug you cannot shake and general malaise.  When my cousin had it (age 6) she developed bruises that did not heal.  She had a test done on a Friday for the cancer with negative results, another on Monday and it was positive.  She is now 16 and in remission for years.  Good luck.

My mom has been recently diagnosed and had surgery to remove her female organs. They found cervical and ovarian tumors. She begins chemo a week from Monday. She is 62. At the moment she is just as perky as ever, even considering surgery. She was painting and hanging fans just two days ago. LOL. I can tell you that if she goes down, she will go down swinging. :0) That is just my mom's way.

I am not for sure what kinda answer you are looking for. Good or bad.  I did not like chemo and all the side affects.  It will be four years soon since my masectomy.  I still have a small bald spot. No eyebrows.  My eyes drip continually. I have carpal tunnel. Hot flashes galore. Osteoporosis.  All from chemo. I did not enjoy not being able to taste anything.  Or the fact my fingernails hurt so bad I could not touch anything without pain. I did not like getting pnemonia every year.  Or catching every little virus that rolled my way.  No one tells you all the crap that is going to happen afterwards.  The doctor said if they did no one would get treatment.  He told me it could be 3-5 years before my immune system is up.  Well I am much better now and I do not get sick as much. I do still everyday live with the watering eyes,ect. ect.  It caused relationship problems with my family. They just really could not deal with how I looked.  My husband however is the best husband on the earth now.  I am glad to be alive.  I do believe cancer woke me up to the realization of who is truly there for you. I stand up for myself more. Don't put up with all the daily drama.  I am not so happy go lucky as I used to be.  Hope this helps.  Heres wishing you  a cancer free life.

I am an alternative medicinal therapist and an ex nurse and i can tell you that you DO have stones. Pain in the back is a common sign and so is blood in the urine. Stop worrying you don't have cancer. They can either dissolve them by sound waves or by tablets and they may remove them by an op(but they don't like to do this unless is becomes life threatening) You will get terrible pain if they try to leave the kidneys, so be prepared.If this happens get to the E R.\n\nGloria(BSYA)\ngloriashealth@btinternet.com

Definitely!  Hair loss is one of the classic symptoms of hypothyroidism, (underactive thyroid).

If you haven't had one already, ask about a PET scan. It's sorta like a CAT scan, but it's used to detect any cancer in the body. When my husband had cancer, it's what they used to see where it was, and then they used it once more after his treatment was finished to see if all of it was gone.  Also, ask about maybe getting put on a steroid. My grandfather-in-law, has some health issues, but he had gotten to where he would eat maybe once a day, if that. They put him on some sort of steroid(not sure of it's name)and now he eats like a pig.(good thing) \n  I would also consider going to a different doctor and letting them give you the once-over as well. Having a fresh set of eyes and a  mind on the case may help. I wish you the best, hope you get everything figured out and get to feeling better!

sorry for you loss, you need to start being checked yearly...early detection is the key.  my aunt had breast cancer and she has been cancer free since 1997, I started being check then, I was 27 and now I and 36 and last week had a suspicious mass removed, thank God it was not cancer, only had the characteristics.  be safe and good luck!
