today i met a man (please read if you have or are around children)

[SwampG8r]

he had a kid
his son had one eye
i asked "what happened to your lil guy"
he said "last year at his birthday i was taking pics and when i showed them around the office one of my coworkers remarked about the red eye in one pic, it had 2 different colors in the eyes. she said her cousin in their childhood also had this in a photo and later learned it was an early warning sign for a near terminal illness.alarmed i took my son to the docs and he indeed did have the first stage of this illness."
the disease is retinoblastoma a rapidly developing cancer and i want everyone to have this in the arsenal of safety we wrap our loved ones in.
so thats what i got for you one eye red one eye some other color get to a dr


and good daddying on his part for not hesitating
edited to include the name of the dirty bastard stealing the lives of children

1. interesting

did not know that, thanks (googled and found it can be the case for cataracts, glaucoma, and other disorders too)

[SwampG8r]

2. if there were pics in the

page google gave you you can see the difference between eyes
its not all that common but knowing is better than not especially with such a big tell

[Kali]

3. yeah - and an easy thing to remember and watch for

I confess I looked because your post kind of read like some of those scary e-mail spams I get from time to time. Sorry to doubt you!;-)

[SwampG8r]

4. should i retitle it?

i want as many to know this as possible
how many pics do you see in a year? is ee plenty and now i will always be watching for this

[Kali]

5. nah I think it's fine

thanks again - this is a good thread - might even cross post in gd or one of the health sections

6. you should xpost this to GD as a PSA.

thanks for the info.

[SwampG8r]

8. GD isnt the place to post anything relevant

posted there i would have to defend the politics the credibility the grammer
then i would have to explain how it is/isnt obamas fault or responsibility
and then watch it be threadjacked by someone picking fights
its not worth the time and trouble to post anything in the proctology office we call GD

[Tuesday Afternoon]

10. yes, you are right.

question:
who got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning?

answer:
everyone in GD.

7. similar situation

happened up here last year or so. I read an article on BDN and a woman had noticed this in a picture of her daughter, and it saved her life as well. :hi:

9. good for her

when something as simple as redeye in a photo can make such a difference i am always amazed
