UTI’s
Hello, I have had 3 or 4 UTI’s since visiting Zagreb in May 2022. I had ‘retention’ of Approx 2000ml when a catheter was fitted. I have had a ‘TURP’ prostate operation in November 2022 and I am now trying to a) reduce the blood in my pee and b) the number of times in the day that I have to go. The Doctor

cellulitis
I have cellulitis in my right arm, post operative lymphoedema ( 9 years ago) first time. Swelling, heaviness and pain don’t seem to be getting any better after a week of antibiotic. Wondered if there is anything else I can do to get rid of it. Awaiting an appointment with the clinic but no idea when

Don’t be fooled into thinking that Sunbeds are safe!
‼️ DON’T BE FOOLED INTO THINKING THAT SUNBEDS ARE SAFE: Sunbed use is bad news at any age and dramatically increases the risk of both melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer. They are classed as a group 1 carcinogen - the highest cancer risk category. AND the younger you are and more often you use them

Interrupting Acalabrutinib for a minor surgery
Acalabrutinib seems to increase the patient's propensity to bruising / bleeding even more, on the top of the already low platelet count. So it needs to be stopped before and after a minor skin surgery. Have any of you been in a similar situation, and if yes - how long was your interruption ?

scans after chemo looking promising
Diagnosed with low PSA - a Turp surgery biopsy diagnosed Gleason 9, scans showed spread to pelvic lymph nodes. Lupron and Zytiga for 6 months, and then scans showed spread to cervical lymph nodes. Only 6 months to castrate resistant. Just finished 4th round of Chemo (Dox with Carboplatin) Scans

Finasteride with Tamsulosin
Hi, I am just going onto a course of tablets subscribed to me for an enlarged prostate, Finasteride along with Tamsulosin which I am already taking. My erections have been pretty much none existent since I have been on the Tamsulosin so am definitely worried that I will loose it completely with this

Sunburn very rapidly
3 years after diagnosis with CLL and I got to travel. But day 1, although probably no more than 10 minutes in the French sun and i'm bright red and borderline sunburn. It didnt used to be like this. I knew I had to be more careful now as cll patients are very susceptible to skin cancer but are other

High Eosinophils in PCa
Anyone else with regualrly high eosiniphils? My eosinophils have been elevated for at least two years. Most of the times I brought that up with several different doctors they all just said "it's probably allergies" and dismissed it. One doctor tested for parasites (Endolimax nana trophozoites) and

Education is the key!
90% of skin cancers are preventable and 98% treatable or curable if diagnosed early! It’s not rocket science - education is key to combatting the disease and saving lives. That’s why Skcin are dedicated to and specialise in the prevention and early detection of skin cancer through educational intervention

Can Blindness be caused by using Aldara (Imiquimod) with GCA?
My dermatologist is once again pushing Aldara (in the US, it's called Imiquimod) to help control my pre-cancerous skin "spots" (Actinic Keratosis) on my head. I have GCA, and I'm concerned because this med induces your immune system to go into overdrive against the spots, killing them, which leads to

Amelanotic melanoma
Whilst amelanotic melanoma is relatively uncommon fatality rates tend to be higher because they often go undetected for longer, are often misdiagnosed because they mimic other skin lesions and are therefore commonly diagnosed at later stages. Any subtype of melanoma can be amelanotic. They can appear

How fast does ELIGARD drop PSA? My urinary symptoms are worsening despite the injection, TURP and Testosterone under 20.
My PSA was 9.75 (07/28/2022) and testosterone 43 (08/17/2022) when I got my first ELIGARD 45mg dose on 08/18/2022. I'd been in a full time Foley catheter for two weeks at that blood On 09/06/2022 PSA had dropped to 3.95 (18 days) and Testosterone to 17. On 09/23 it had only dropped to 3.80 (5 weeks

Introducing myself. Have mostly lurked for a couple of months, but time to formally say I'm here and start asking my own questions.
Hello all, my name is Dave. I've just updated my profile with all medical info on my case. Hate that I need to be in this particular club, but glad there's such a great resource to learn from in the form of this forum. I'm stage IVB (cT3b, cN1, cM1b, PSA: 3.8, Grade Group: 4) - no hint of cancer until

Sunbeds is a Group 1 carcinogen!
Sadly, way too many lives have been lost to sunbed use. They are classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as a Group 1 carcinogen - this is its highest cancer risk category. Furthermore, a review by IARC found that first exposure to sunbeds before the age of 35 years increases

Somatic testing on TURP sample ( vs biopsy)
Is the block from TURP equivalent for doing a somatic HRR testing vs a sample from needle biopsy.

UV damage - The invisible killer
If you could see the damage you’ve already done due to UV exposure, would it change your sun protection habits? Would you check your skin monthly for the early warning signs?This image, taken with a special UV camera, show’s UV damage to the skin (on the left) that’s invisible to the naked eye.Ever
