I guess some would call her paranoid about health issues. I had never met someone so paranoid about health issues until I met my wife. It took me a few years to really understand where she was coming from when she would urge me to the doctor at the first sign of a cough or cold. I spent the first years of my married life quite frustrated by her and her constant paranoid ideas about our health and life. My wife decided to begin going to counseling to discuss her issues of being paranoid about health and disease and dying. She asked me to accompany her and I agreed with great joy.

New clinical trials are studying the safety of a treatment for patients with late stage non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC . According to the American Cancer Society ACS , lung cancer is the most common cancer-related death among adults, and accounts for about 29 percent of all cancer deaths in the United States. The majority of people, nearly 70 percent, diagnosed with lung cancer are over the age of 65. There are risk factors that increase the chance of developing lung cancer, including smoking which is noted by the ACS as the largest risk factor for lung cancer. While researchers are making important strides in the early detection and prevention of lung cancer, there still remains a significant need to develop medications to treat the disease.

According to Wikipedia.com, this means that three women for every two men suffer from Binge Eating Disorder. There are different reasons as to why men develop Binge Eating Disorder. One cause is if they play or played sports sometime in their life that required them to be thin or to lose a lot of weight for a particular competition, such as a wrestling match or running. Football players and body builders are still at risk, but it is lower since these sports require some meat and muscles in order to be successful. Another reason is that the chosen profession calls for thinness, such as modeling and acting. Men feel a pressure, just as women do, to maintain a level of thinness when they are in the public eye and when they are in looked at. A man is more at risk for developing Binge Eating Disorder at a older age than a woman does...
