Long term immune system and co concentration difficulties
Hi, I am 53 and had bacterial meningitis and septecemia at age 2. I was in a coma for weeks and my mum was told to expect the worse. Growing up I caught everything going including mumps, measles and German measles, some more than once. I was a sickly child and as an adult have continued to struggle

Brief info, my husband was diagnosed with advanced pca late June 2018 (PSA 33) with mets to bones

Please be aware - be your own expert or use your clinical specialist service if you have any queries. I recently had a basal cell carcinoma removed and skin graft on my nose. I knew this was a possibility because of the immunosuppressant I was taking post transplant and had spoken about it’s possible

Antibiotics - amoxicillin
Sorry, yet another question. I've recently had a tooth infection and my dentist prescribed a course of antibiotics - Amoxicillin. I'm aware that this is one of the two most effective antibiotics used for cellulitis. Should I be avoiding using them for anything other than cellulitis, or doesn't it

My cancer has morphed to treatment-emergent small-cell neuroendocrine prostate cancer.
Hi Guys, I had a TURP in July and the pathology report came back that my prostate cancer cells were small-cell neuroendocrine type, while my original diagnosis was adenocarcinoma Gleason 10. The cancer has grown up the side of my bladder, which has caused a bladder bleed which needed a repair under

Cyberknife is in my future
Hey Guys, I have been advised (by my Uro and Radiation Oncologist and Medical Oncologist) that I need to get some local control as I haven't had a radiation to the prostate before. I was diagnosed Gleason 10 2.5 years ago and I've been through chemo (Docetaxel) ADT (Zoladex implants 3 monthly). Since
