More of a personal one.. I've had slightly swollen lymph nodes scattered throughout my body. Saw a haematologist. Had a CT, tons of bloodwork and was told I'm worrying to much/its nothing because they haven't grown in years and I have virtually no family history or links to any cancer risk factors. Admittedly, I am a BIG hypochondriac. I have convinced myself I have had many types of cancers since I was 8.

I'm scared of, as you said, ignoring it until it progresses. Did you have a similar experience or was progression rapid?

I'm trying to find a balance between listening to my doctors telling me it's fine and listening to people who say doctors misdiagnosed them too.

I'm not American but thank you very much for your service!

Were you aware of asbestos when you volunteered? I wasn't even aware it was present at the wtc causing deaths until today.

Was there fear of more planes, bombs or more attacks amongst the workers ?

Lastly, if people were aware of the asbestos, were reporters kept away or given masks?

My mum has a cat. He used to pee on her bed at night but he stopped. Now, he refuses to shit in the litterbox. She says that unless she stands there and puts him in the litterbox, he will shit on the floor right next to it. She says it's getting really annoying and he does it every day.

She has changed the litterbox multiple times, bleached the floors and moved his bed next to his favourite spot to deter him from doing it but he still does it.

Any advice?
