Lymph node Metastasis
After 7 years, and multiple PSMA scans, my husband had a FDG CT scan and it showed what they quoted as “several” metastasis In the lymphs In the para aortic area in abdomen. One doc wants to biopsy to check if cancer DNA has changed from original pathology in 2017. Another doc says… No to biopsy due

Pain won't stop
Hi all, it's been assumed that I'm struggling with IBS for around 6 weeks. I've tried buscopan forte with no ease. Last Friday I started Mebeverine hydrochloride 3 times a day, it's not helping! For 6 weeks I have pretty much been stuck in the fetal position with servere cramping pain that I'm comparing

IBS and possible prolapse in bowel
Hi all, I have been diagnosed with IBS and Diverticulitis. Pregablin medication seems to be helping. When I recently explained to the GP that every day I am in discomfort from my bowel and despite me having bowel movements on a daily basis that within 30-45 mins after I feel I need to have another bowel

Injections after Caelyx
Hi All. Well I’ve just had my first infusion of Caelyx. I’ve been told I done need to inject Filgrastim. I asked the chemo nurse to check and she said no injections. Has anyone else had Caelyx with no filgrastim afterwards? Thank you. Gill X

I am not sure if I have IBS?
There are some symptoms that completely matches with IBS, like- abdominal pain, extreme flatulence, constipation, stomach noises, always having the urge to move bowels. But doctors never could diagnose anything, told me that the body would cure itself since I'm young. I have done ultrasonography, endoscopy

Microscopic colitis associated with RA
Well the colonoscopy didn't happen two weeks ago due to having to give up a non RA medication I was too ill to go. Update it's next week and I can stay on the medication until the day of the colonoscopy. A biopsy is needed to confirm MC and then the treatment of steroids. You may wonder why I'm telling

1 colonoscopy + 1 sigmoidoscopy in 3 years; symptoms persist
In the past three years I’ve had a colonoscopy (July 2020) that was clear and a sigmoidoscopy a year later in May 2021 that found small internal hemorrhoids and a hypertrophic anal papillae (benign). However, my symptoms of rectal bleeding, some rectal pain, and intermittent constipation have persisted

Help! Stomach Bug & Holiday!
For over a week I have had some sort of stomach bug with awful pains in the lower stomach, causing loose stools, feeling chilled then hot, with a recurring headache. I contacted my doctor asking for urgent stool tests, as I am due to go on holiday to Spain next Monday, just in case it is a stomach bug

Foraminotomy
has anybody had a posterior endoscopic foraminotomy? In particular for bone spurs. I could be looking at this surgery once injections have been exhausted. Would be interested in hearing from people about how they found it, did it work, and crucially what was your post op experience like, pain levels,

colon cancer
I have had irregular bowel movements for as long as I can remember. Recently I noticed blood streaks in my stool. I’m scheduled for a colonoscopy this week but my anxiety is through the roof. My sibling was recently diagnosed with colon cancer and now I’m scared that I may have it as well. Any advice

Progress report
Oh what a fun week I have had. Those of you that followed the tooth saga will be pleased to hear I am nearly at the finishing line and had the fitting for the implant, another 2 weeks and I will have the new tooth. It wasn’t particularly pleasant but it’s done. My next exiting trip was to have a scan
