you are correct. TB was a very big problem even, when I was growing up in the 50s.They all had consumption which was a virilant lung infection, and with simple antibiotics today, it would have been cured like flu. However, they wasted away and it was very contagious. Living at court, traveling long distances within now close proximity and interation with many people was surely a way to contract it. Remember how many servants. and cooks, and staff moved these large progresses as the King traveled from castle to castle Yes they had tb, andf it was horrible. Do you find this valuable? |

"how would they get such a diagnosis of cancr them. He was a young boy."Testicular cancer is actually the most common cancer in men between 15 and 35, with the peak number occuring in the late teens. When Lance Armstrong had testicular cancer, it spread quickly to his lungs and he was coughing up blood as a result- something very often associated with TB. Testicular cancer also often travels through lymph channels, and if the lymph nodes are screwed up, a lot of you is screwed up. Do you find this valuable? |
