Question 1
10pts.Is Brain tumor a type of cancer?...  

Answers
1)   yes - brodyvegas84

2)   Yes it is. Its when the cells in your brain are affected like any other type of cancer - Dannie

3)   It's a sign of cancer in the brain - Bloo

4)   Yes! Any malignant growth of cells in the body is defined as cancer - indianwhizkid

5)   A brain tumor is an abnormal growth of cells within the brain, which can be cancerous (malignant) or non-cancerous (benign). - iZack™

6)   It is possible to have a benign brain tumor (not cancerous). If its malignant, then its cancer. - Jules

7)   Not always, but usually. A tumor can have cancer in it, but not all tumors do have cancer in them some are benign, which means they don't have cancer. - the coolcat

8)   If the cells in that tumor are growing uncontrollably, and are destroying the tissues they invaded (read: the brain tissue), and/or spreading throughout the body, then yes, it's considered cancerous. However, if the cells are self-limited, and do not invade or metastasize, then it's considered a benign tumor. - nette

9)   no its a Brain tumor - PuKe!

Question 2
Can I get viral herpes from sharing a drink with someone who had a cold sore 1 year ago?...  I shared a drink today with a friend who had a cold sore about a year ago and hasn't had another since. Could I get viral herpes?
By the way, she's a good friend of mine, I see her everyday. So I knew that she had a cold sore a year ago because I saw it and she I know she hasn't had one since because I would have noticed.
Also, she only took one small sip and afterwards I wiped the lid quite thoroughly.

Answers
1)   dont think so but possibly - Ryan

2)   wtf no alot of people get cold sores - Jleep23

3)   I think you're probably fine. The risk is highest when the person actually has a cold sore and lowest when they don't have one, but its certainly possible that you contracted it since it definitely is a disease that can be passed through bodily fluids - Sam

4)   Usually if you are to contract the same virus they have, they must be breaking out at that time. Because then the germs are spread through the open sore.

Although that's also if they aren't getting one soon. I feel like people get cold sores more frequently than that though, are they telling you the truth? I could be wrong though viruses are tricky things. - . . . .

6)   yeah you possibly can but would be unlikely but still possible. Once someone gets a cold sore or herpes they always carry the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) in their system. So although their not displaying any symptoms, they still have it but the fact that they didn't have a cold sore at the time, contracting it is less probable. - Danni

7)   yes you can. it can take up to a year for you to really notice the effects of herpes. it doesn't go away, but the outbreaks will get less intense and farther apart as time goes on. - Jon

Question 5
Question about Shingles(the rash)?...  Ok so my bf had bearable pain in his right arm and developed a rash on his back and shoulder which then blistered and looks exactly like shingles. But it hardly itches and isnt painful at all which was surprising to me because I thought the pain n tingling that accompanied it was a classic symptom.
I was vaccinated for chickenpox as a child but had a full blown bout of it, I was wondering if I could get chickenpox again because of my bf..the fluid in his blisters are clear which means they can be contagious but what do you think? any experiences?
He's going to see a doctor tomorrow I was wondering if me hanging out with him could increase my chances of getting chickenpox

2)   He must see a Dr. right away. If it is shingles, he needs to take anti-viral medicine. Otherwise the shingles will not go away and it is extremely painful. I know because I had it. Insist that he go to a Dr. - notyou311

3)   for him... he needs to call his doctor and be seen. if it is shingles...if he does have it, they won't let him sit with other patients in the lobby waiting. he will need to be in a room isolated or close door, away from other. if it's shingles, it is contagious.

as for you.....question is, does your body have any antibody for varicella (chickenpox)... doesn't matter if ones been vaccinated or had the chickenpox as a kid. sometimes ur body may not even build up the antibodies to protect u from it. the only way to find out for sure is to have a blood test screen for varicella titer.
i had chickenpox when i was 5 and i thought i was safe that my body has form antibodies. i work at a health care and when i screen for my antibody for varicella, there was none. my body didn't form any. i had to get vacccinated, total of 2 doses with 1 month apart. there are many people like that. it's the same if one person got 1 dose shot of chickenpox. u actually need 2 dose and to be certain is to get a titer screen for it. of course, keep in mind that nothing is 100% but just to prevent it, so anyone can be that SOL person and catch it. we all risk everything in life. - Butterfly
