Husband died2 mths after finding he had lung cance

My husband was having real bad headaches an done blood work at his doctor's an nothing showed up in them about any sign of cancer or anything like that. But this past January of 2025 my husband had a bad bad seizure (which he has never had one before) and went by ambulance to the hospital to find a large mass on his brain an was sent to another hospital an we was told he had lung cancer and it had spread to his brain. He had 2 brain surgeries and 10 rounds of radiation 1 round of chemo and he went thru rehab before that. but after the chemo he went down quick and Hospice had to come in an there was nothing else they could do for him we didn't even get told all the results of his test until Hospice an they r the ones that told us that the cancer had spread to his lymph nodes and his bones. My husband past away this March 28,2925. We didn't even have time to process any of this. But I think the blood test from his regular doctor should have shown something about the cancer or that something was going on with the headaches instead of just giving him migraine pills didn't send him for a CT scan or anything they could have found it if his regular doctor would have sent him for the scan.

Misunderstood Virgo

I am both, yell and scream, then quiet a reserved. when tears start coming out, somebody is going to get hurt if they dont leave. When my son was murdered, I yelled and screamed, gathered myself and got clinical said what needed to be said. i left the hospital so his sisters could wait for the last one. I told them all that when she was done I wanted him unhooked. At the memorial, I was assumed to be cold and unfeeling, because I refer to keep emotions to myself. Virgo's are accused of a lot of things we are not.

Ever Wonder Why No Doctor in the ER?

Has anyone else gone to the ER and not seen an actual doctor? I always thought you’d get a doctor right away, but turns out, it’s not guaranteed. Sometimes you just see a nurse practitioner or a physician assistant. It’s kinda wild how the media doesn’t really talk about this much. Anyone else surprised by this? #HealthcareTalk #ERExperience #DidYouKnow #Health #BodyHealth

Which finger of you stinks the most?

Every person’s ten digits have one or two that smell different—always a little funky. Most of the time it’s the ring finger, left or right. It’s all about hormones! #FingerSafety #FunFact #NailMagic

A toddler’s fight with rare cancer changes everything

When a string of infections hit 11-month-old Jonny, his mom knew something was off. What doctors found was shocking: a rare, aggressive cancer with only a handful of cases each year. The journey that followed—grueling chemo, surgery, and months away from home—turned every day into a battle. Now, with Jonny in remission, his family is learning to savor each moment, never taking anything for granted. Stories like this remind us how quickly life can change and how much strength families can find in the hardest times. How would you cope with such uncertainty? #Health #BodyHealth #ChildhoodCancer

I have been in your shoes, only it was my husband

I saw a grief counselor. It helped immensely. Talk to your doctor also. Let he/she know how you have been feeling. Now you have to take of yourself. #Beenthere #Deathsucksbad #Married30years

Affordable Healthcare for Everyone?

Okay, so I'm really curious about this whole healthcare thing for low-income folks. I've heard people say that if you're not making much or aren't working, you might actually get better access to healthcare benefits. Sounds kinda too good to be true, doesn't it? Like, where's the catch? I mean, sure, programs like Medicaid exist, but getting through all that paperwork and waiting for approval can be a headache and a half. It’s confusing and let’s be real, it doesn't always feel like it's made for people who need it most. Anyone else feel like the system’s set up to confuse rather than to help us? I think everyone deserves to see a doc when they're not feeling their best, without having to jump through hoops or empty their bank accounts. Would love to hear what you all think about this! Sharing any tips or stories would really help those trying to navigate this maze. #LowerIncomeHealthcare #HealthcareForAll #AccessToCare

She Built an AI BFF for Mom Meltdowns

Karima Williams was tired of emotional spirals and mom guilt, so she started venting to an AI chatbot instead of friends. It worked so well, she vibe-coded her own app—Crash Out Diary—to help others reset, even with zero tech background! The app gives you a pep talk and a grounding activity, all anonymous. It’s already gone viral, and Karima swears it’s made her a more present mom. Would you trust an AI with your feelings? #Health #MentalHealth #AI

Why I’m Wary of Advantage Plans

I’ve been looking into Advantage Plans, and honestly, they seem risky if you’re not in great health. The coverage looks good on paper, but I’ve heard about high out-of-pocket costs when you actually need care. Anyone else have experience with these plans? Curious if it’s just me who’s skeptical. #Medicare #HealthInsurance #InsuranceAdvice #Health #BodyHealth
