My moms close friend went to the hospital for a kidney stone, they ran a standard blood test and he tested positive for Leukemia. They said it’s very very VERY early stage, if that is, what is the treatment for Leukemia at the first few weeks of it?

It’s an act of God that they found it this early because of the kidney stone… Before he started getting really sick with it…

My father had a history of kidney stones for the past ten years. He was gone through two procedures before to get these stones from his kidney out using the lithotripsy option, which was described to be very painful but it did not get rid of the problem. He has again diagnosed with another kidney stone and the doctors suggested lithotripsy again. We are very concern and we are seeking other alternatives other than this same procedures that have been conducted before. The stone is about 8mm, considered big. If you have any answers or suggestions as to ways or other alternatives other than the two procedures above that are safe and less painful, please let me know. We need answers as soon as possible before he has to go through surgery in the next couple of weeks and the doctors are calling to schedule an appointment for his surgery already. Thank you so much. I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon, and hopefully you have helpful answers and suggestions to my concerns.

I have heard the claim many times that men could not POSSIBLY deal with the pain of childbirth like women can.

Maybe, maybe not. We will never know for certain because men cannot get pregnant like women can.

But men CAN get kidney stones like women can, which I have also heard is a similar order of pain to childbirth.

I am asking women who have experienced BOTH passing a kidney stone AND birthing a child to compare the two, as they relate to pain.

I am 16 years old. When I turn 18, I would like to donate a kidney to my mother. She is a renal patient, going through dialysis treatment due to the fact she has no working kidney. She insists that I do not donate my kidney to her and to keep it. However, her life is at stake, and I want to help her out. What should I do?
