Pet Therapy... the best thing.

Hi! My mum was found with a ground glass nodule about a year ago and after many scans went in for a VATS wedge section to remove the nodule in November. The nodule was caused by her rheumatoid arthritis but the surgeon noticed some “ dots” around it and “ specks” on her lung so sent it for a biopsy.

I had a VATS pleurodesis done on both my lungs 4 years ago when I was 16 (both happened 3 months apart from eachother) after spontaneous pneumothoraxes. Both surgeries went fine and they haven't collapsed since. However, every once and a while (maybe once/twice a month), I'll feel a sharp pain in my

I had Lung resection a months ago still had pain under my right breast and rib cage how long before you start feeling better

I had a vats lobectomy over 18months ago and thankfully all well so far (apart from having treatment for anal cancer this year) but I digress. Wearing a bra is painful because I have a keloid scar from my cats op. After much research and help from doctors to no avail I have found an easy remedy that

I was diagnosed with chronic csr and have been suggested PDT by two different retinal specialists. I have read about yellow laser therapy on the internet and was wondering if anyone has had that done instead? It was never brought up to me as an option by the rs. Any feedback is appreciated.

It’s my turn and today (Monday 9/3/21) I start my treatment. I will be kept in overnight. Fingers crossed and I will update on my progress. I have been told to expect tremors (scarey !!) Scareyyyyy ...

Hi - I’m interested in the following extract from a book by a well-known thyroid writer: “If you have had a full panel conducted, be sure to check that they fall within optimal levels; a TSH below 2, Free T3 within the top quarter of the range and a Free T4 mid-range or higher.” We’re all different

Hi I was tested positive for COVID on 25th Jan this year and rushed to hospital by ambulance on 31st. I was intubated and put on a ventilator in an induced for 4 days followed by oxygen therapy.

Has anyone out there used music therapy? Thx

After 3 days of being off ventilator, my mother has started speech therapy. Today the therapists did an evaluation on my mom and attached a passy muir valve (PMV). My mom's voice is very strong, we all think because of the persistent cough she's had. When the therapist first placed the PVM, mom felt

Genetic alterations of the KRAS gene are some of the most common mutations in lung cancer patients, but unfortunately these patients have few effective treatment options. Drugs that target the G12C mutation in KRAS have shown some activity in lung cancer; however, alternative signaling pathways are often

As I've come out of the intial shock and devastation of being let go from my job, I've really been rolling around in my thoughts. I have had some revelations that I would like to share. Most of this is stuff I already knew, in an external way. These are things I've spoken about to my patients in group

I have some very specific questions on CBT as it relates to behavioral issues including adhd, ODD, "I can't attitude", tantrums, anxiety, inability to make decisions when prompted with choices to avoid certain situations, negative outlook, etc. 1) if you have tried on 6 year old, was it successful?

There has been a lot of advice on this Forum about A2B Ligands being first line of treatment (?) and I was thinking there must be a lot of people out there who were advised to come off DA's (slowly) and go onto these Ligands. Then I am reading a lot of posts of people whereby these Ligands stop working
