    The Talk show

    Sorry to barge in on your conversation.

    Here's the link to Michael Douglas's video appearance on "The Talk" show http://www.cbs.com/shows/the_talk/video/BZaE7Tf6UUuxweU94qeZro15lbzYslhT/the-talk-michael-douglas-cancer/

    Here's the link to post comments and connect with actors http://www.cbs.com/connect/shows/44810/the-talk/

    I remember being 7 years old and diagnosed with vulvovaginitis. It turned out to be the wrong diagnosis, but until I knew that, I kept proudly repeating the big word to my grade 2 classmates. That until my mom overheard and told me to shut up about it. I knew back then what vulva was but I did not understand why I was not allowed to talk about my body part. I am 45 now and still for the life of me I don't understand why some diseases are considered "awkward". We all have genitals, breasts and anuses, male or female. Every baby is born as a result of vaginal intercourse. So unless they were born by in-vitro fertilization or found in cabbage people must see sex as the most natural type of human behavior and their internal and external genitals is what keeps our species alive.

    However it spreads cancer is cancer. Almost everyone has or had HPV at some point of their life. Unless they intentionally and knowingly infect others no one needs to apologize for having oral, anal, vaginal or any other type of sex they fancy. What goes on between consenting adults is no one's business but their own.

    I have ovarian cancer. I had one female moron at work ask me if it is contagious. I told her "Yes, it is. You probably already inhaled it." I am glad that she now steers clear of my office.

    inhaling cancer!!

    You made me laugh out loud, and I truly needed that. I know, some people are just so ignorant. I was told, cause my so-called life partner replaced me during my first go-round with cancers, that many, many people really DO think they can catch cancer from us!! That is so...crazy, but thats what the councelors told me. It ended up being a good thing though; I was so young I didnt have time to focus on anything but raising my son on my own, and getting money to survive; so a job (full time) was in order; while I went in for my 25 radiation treatments. I used to say I was grateful for the experience of cancer, it is a great teacher; but not all the lessons are happy endings either. But, getting it again, almost 30 years later?? that was cruel and it did change everything. I wasnt as strong, or healthy due to the poisoning radiation..and went quite sometime before we knew it was cancer, again. Now? Now I try to teach others how to NOT end up like me. as one who works with herbs and nutrition though, many doctors would prefer me to go away quietly. (I am welsh, irish ands scot, those chances are slim at best). BTW Thank you for the welcome..and if I can be of help; though not online daily; I will help if I can. Blessings. Cindy.
