New results and an update - Vit D, early Lyme Disease and what looks like vitiligo
Doc called this morning to check in (looks like throwing my toys out of the pram made a big difference!). Results came back and she said I'm severely Vit D deficient (result 22, didn't get the range but "severe" is good enough for me) and tested positive for "early" Lyme Disease. The D3 I bought is

CLL and skin cancer
I am wondering if others are having difficulty with skin cancers if they have CLL. Not sure if the skin cancer is progressing due to disease or side effect of Imbruvica. My mother has needed many progressive surgeries to treat her skin cancers and wants to come of the Imbruvica which seems to be helping

Do I have lyme Disease yes or not?
Hi good people. It's been said that if you have any of these bands in your labs then you have LYME D: 23 31 34 39 83/93; yet my labs didn't: 41KD 41KD; 41KD 58KD. MY labs video: https://youtu.be/yz7yDPQMs9w and even my infection specialist agreed on that; yet she refused to treat me for a possible

The Ironic Tee shirt. Aaaahahahahahahaha!
I’d been waiting to do my first park run after graduating in April but thought I would get lots of runs in first and had also decided to wait until after my significant birthday this week, reasoning that it was daft to have my run comparisons in two different age groups. Alarm set to Ed Sheeran’s Supermarket

Melanoma survivor....safe to have kids?
I had metastatic malignant melanoma in 2008. I had a skin graft and wide excision to remove my lymph nodes in my groin. Since then all PET scans have been clear, but I am wondering if it is safe to get pregnant? Anyone gone through this before? So far, no one has been able to help me. I am desperate

Complete blockage, need TURP
2 months after HIFU, I woke up and went to pee and only drops came out. This went on for a few days then I went to urgent care. Skipping past the horrible care by doctors in Vegas, I returned to my HIFU doctor in Los Angeles who scoped it and found a blockage and recommended TURP. That is scheduled for

Anyone experience increased allergic reaction to bug bites since having VM?
I had VM last May and It has taken best part of a year to feel back to my usual self. I moved to a hot climate last October and since then have had 5 episodes of cellulitis from bug bites. Could just be bad luck that I’m so allergic but wondering if the impact on my immune system from the VM could

Need help with Lupron question
As some of you know I’m Gleason 3+4. Will have TURP in August and then 28 sessions of proton therapy starting in November. My close friend was diagnosed 4+3 shortly after. He’s being told by 3 oncologists (IMRT/proton) that it would be best to do 4 months of Lupron plus the radiation. Other testing

TURP and Enzalutamide advice
Hi everyone, I'm dealing with widespread metastatic PCa at 50 years old, diagnosed last Aug. I'm on Enzalutamide now (plus Lupron since Oct) but not responding very much after almost 3 months 😔. PSA still rising (84 last week, up from 72)... also... really feel like crap a lot of the time on this second-line

Just whining
Have had PMR for 2 years and was at 8 mgs trying to go down but just hurt all the time then I went through treatment for skin cancer and was told steroids are not helping with this it can fuel the cancer and bring down my immune system. They are ok with 5mg but I am constantly in pain as I should be
