Has anyone been prescibed levoquin during chemo? And how do you watch your loved one go through all this pain with advanced PC?

My father is on hospice for stage 4 pc as well as aortic dissection with anyursym. He has lots of mets to spine to the point of a comlression fracture. I believe levoquin caused his heart issue. The fda just released this medicine can cause this rare issue.My father is on hospice for stage 4 pc as well as aortic dissection with anyursym.

Thyroid Cancer twice..!

Had hashi then thyroid cancer 10 years ago. 3 years it came back after having RAI and lateral neck dissection! My TSH levels are suppressed 0.02 which is good however my T4 has been abnormally high for over a year. My consultant reduced my Levi from 175 to 150 6 months ago but its still really high.Had hashi then thyroid cancer 10 years ago. 3 years it came back after having RAI and lateral neck dissection!

Hospice. What to expect?

My father has stage 4 pc with mets and a newly diagnosed aortic dissection with aneurysm in abdomen. The dr told us he has 6 months. What is expected from hospice? So far my mom and I are not convinced this is the right choice by our current hospice company.My father has stage 4 pc with mets and a newly diagnosed aortic dissection with aneurysm in abdomen.

IBS basics for beginners

Dear all, I have recently been suffering from excess burping and stomach pains for which I became dependent on Nexium for a couple of weeks. I have recently found that this is due mainly to changing from almond milk to lactose free milk, and also because I have been drinking a lot of decaff tea andDear all, I have recently been suffering from excess burping and stomach pains for which I became dependent on Nexium for a couple of weeks.

Thoracic/ascending aortic aneurysms

There's a Marfan support group, and there's an Aortic Dissection support group. There's quite a lot of information about abdominal aortic aneurysms, for which there's an NHS screening programme and active research on improved minimally-invasive stenting for treatment of it.There's a Marfan support group, and there's an Aortic Dissection support group.

Health anxiety

Now I’m all freaked out that they missed something and I’m having an aortic dissection which I know is completely ridiculous but I can’t help it. I try to keep my mind off this stuff but it’s as if my mind is playing tricks on me. Almost every time these symptoms lead to a panic attack.Now I’m all freaked out that they missed something and I’m having an aortic dissection which I know is completely ridiculous but I can’t help it.

Follow up appointments after ablation

I also have an aortic dissection which is checked annually. The doctor I saw last week had such a strong accent, I had great difficulty in understanding him. I tried to ask questions about my breathlessness etc. but he just kept saying one word "discharged".I also have an aortic dissection which is checked annually.

Robot‐assisted radical prostatectomy [RARP] experience.

New study. I had open surgery 14 years ago. When RARP became more available I believe that it was oversold to patients, in the sense that experience was lacking. I kept reading that it took a lot of operations to become proficient. My friend & neighbor Jim rushed into RARP & his first day home wokeNew study. I had open surgery 14 years ago.
