Q. Veteran Indian actor Feroz Khan died of cancer. I am curious to know what type of cancer he had and any other information on his cancer. This information could be of use to surviving cancer patients.
A. I was just online trying to find the same information. I don't have a clue as to why they won't state what cancer he died from. I have had cancer myself and i also feel that it would be useful to cancer patients if they knew what cancer he died from.
What does it mean when your blood work shows you have really low plateletes?
Q. my sister is anemic and now the doc is saying she has low platelets.the doc told her that it means her blood wont clot as well but is it a sign of anything else? they want her to have an ultrasound on her spleen. i am worried that it might be a sign of some kind of cancer. any information to calm my nerves would be greatly appriciated!!
A. Several disorders can show up with these findings; cancer is definitely one of them. There are many types of cancer and it is a very complicated process. Of course the doctor is not going to use that term and scare you all to death until he rules out all the other possibilities. Your sister should watch for signs of bleeding, low blood pressure, and make sure that she continues with all of her appointments and tests. Go to a medical bookstore or university or college bookstore and buy a book on oncology. Tell the assistant you need something that is explanatory such as a learning text book for beginners. Very best to both of you. Do not panic, but the reading will help you deal with some of the medical questions and answers you may be facing.

A. The Dr. IS right...platelet activity is essential to blood clotting. Counts of 150,000 to 400,000 are considered normal. A big fancy term for anything less than 100,000 is thrombocytopenia, and spontaneous hemorrhage can occur with this. Some causes of thrombocytopenia include:
-reduced production of platelets (secondary to bone marrow failure or inflitration of fibrosis, tumor, etc.)
-hyperslenism (overaction of the spleen)
-platelet loss from hemorrhage
Please don't get over-scared from all this. I promise your Dr, will tell you if you are at risk for any of this or if he/she finds these things. But NEVER be afraid to ask if you are needing more information about them. Such as the spleen you mentioned...ask QUESTIONS. But don't always jump to the conclusion that something is cancer just because there is illness involved. It may be a simple infection or something else that can be fixed with tests and medication or a simple surgery. If the problem here is indeed the spleen, one can live fairly easily without the spleen if it has to go to the point of being removed. Minor lifestyle modifications will need to be made, but a normal lifestyle can be carried out otherwise. It may, on the other hand, be able to be corrected with medications alone.
Good luck with everything....

What is a virgo guy with a moon and venus in cancer like?
Q. The guy I like is a Virgo with a moon and venus in cancer. Im a taurus with a moon in cancer.
Any helpful information? Good and bad points?
Any helpful information? Good and bad points?
A. There aren't a whole lot of bad points that i can think of. this sounds like a great match- and i would know! i'm a Virgo with a Scorpio moon, and my boyfriend (we just had our sixth anniversary) is a Taurus with a Pisces moon.
Your Virgo is very caring- the Cancer moon/venus highlights that. He loves to take care of people, it makes him feel whole. He is probably very shy though, and can have trouble expressing himself. That's okay though, you're a Taurus and so you are naturally very patient. And i know you'll stick with it, 'cause you're stubborn. Stubbornness won't turn off Virgo guy, he's adaptable.
My main advice is make sure he knows you like him. He can be very unsure of himself. Since you both have Cancer in important positions, it could be hard to get the ball rolling. You are both more inclined to indirect flirting. Which is fine- but don't be 'hard to get.' Compliment him honestly, talk to him often, and he will probably catch on. If he doesn't like you already- he will soon. You have a lot in common.
