Couldn't Do Fourth Round Of Docetaxol: Husband Admitted To Hospital Tomorrow
Hi everyone. So today we couldn't do round 4 of Docetaxol. There was no doctor at the day ward so we are not sure what the reason was. Something was wrong with the bloods. The nurse said "liver is up so the professor wants to hold off", whatever that means. We saw the palliative care doctor, though,

Perspective of a Newbie
Difficult to comprehend, but I was in
intensive
care
for 3 days. I've not much recollection of the first week. Couldn't talk, let alone hold a pencil. The next week was a maelstrom of activity, improving all the time.

Constantly scared!
He was in
intensive
care
for 4 days and brain damage was a definite probability. Fast forward 4 weeks and he is now home with a defibrillator fitted. His normal heart rate of 42 is now artificially raised to 60 bmp and he is on a betablocker (sp?) every morning and night.

Rubbish -Leave liothyronine alone, Julie Woods and Simon Stevens should resign
Julie Woods chief Exec NHSCC and Simon Stevens should resign on this statement alone. How dare they suggest there are more cost effective products available than liothyronine. Unless they are referring to T4 of course, which is absolutele pug wash. This article just goes to show their lack of knowledge

On road to recovery
Hello, After almost 9 months I've been able to bring my post-prandial blood sugar level down to 124. By following LCHF diet as recommended here. Thankyou so much. My fasting though still remains high at 116. It was suggested to try ashwagandha at bedtime... I'm trying that now. Any more suggestions

Lymphatic Reflexology

My sister is still in hospital. She had a caecostomy as opposed to a colostomy or illeostomy. I can find very little information in caecostomies other than they are considered palliative.

Nursing home woes
Hi all, Just a quick update on my dad. Having been approved for CHC Fasttrack funding a week or so ago - and having been in hospital for 3 weeks - we are now unable to find a nursing home willing to take him. He is considered a fall risk and, after assessing him, don't believe that they can offer

My lab reports
I am 60 years old, diabetic for the past 23 years. Started LCHF diet 10 months back. Stopped insulin and taking 2 tabs as advised by LCHF doctor. Good news is that I have stopped BP and thyroid tablets since one month and yesterday's lab reports showed normal values. But the abnormal values are:
