Question: I had two seizures in one night 25 years ago. They were preceded by several months of auras - out of body experience as the seizures case closer. Recently I have have felt "fluttering" in my head. It is hard to describe. I think they may be early auras?

Question: My dad had colon cancer 23 yrs ago and had his colon removed and has been cancer free ever since. He went in to have his gallbladder removed and they found spots on his liver but all bloodwork was normal. They are doing a biopsy, but I m too anxious for the results.

If his blood tests of alpha fetoprotein (AFP) and CEA are normal, odds of liver cancer and metastasis from colon cancer are low. Biopsy i...
