How long for test results from stomach emptying study?
I had a stomach emptying test at the start of last week , but I don't have a follow up date - and unlike ultrasounds or even the barium swallow - when I was told afterwards everything was OK - I have no idea what the outcome of this is! Any ideas? I did find that eating a dry meal was not good - wasn't

Have I really reached the last hitching post. Its truly surreal.
At the risk of being mellow dramatic, I have recently been disqualified from a clinical trial bombesin) due to lack of expression on the Psma pet scan, prior to this brief attempt at a novel clinical trial I was on my 6th round of carboplatin and cabataxal, my M.o informed me of a couple more trials

Great results with vitamins, next steps?
Hi all I wanted to say thanks to all those who helped me when I was (and do) feel pretty crappy. As you can see from the attached, thanks to your advice with supplementation I’m now at a great level with my vitamins and you can see the impact it has had on my thyroid results. TSH AUG - 0.181, NOV -

Thought hashimotos, Now graves
Well after a year of thinking I had hashimotos (lots of hypo symptoms, including low t4, positive tpo antibodies), treated this with levo. I then had a 'flip', came off levo, symptoms remained, so had the TSH receptor antibody test and tested positive for Graves Disease (with a range of symptoms, palpitations

Clinical Trial Niraparib or XOFIGO
Good morning, I am new to this forum and am thankful for having found it. I am trying to learn as much as I can about my husband’s diagnosis and pray that we are making the best decisions for his treatments. To this point we have not sought out a 2nd opinion and have wholeheartedly trusted in the treatment

Health Anxiety
Hello, I'm a 70 yr old woman with severe health anxiety which I've had since I was 10. I have had therapy and have been on antidepressants for probably 15 years. Also valium as needed, but lately things have really gotten out of hand. I am jittery inside, have occasional myoclonic jerks, and I am convinced

Saw my Oncologist today, not good news.
Those following me know I've had bad luck with pain and treatments, getting pain under control has been a real challenge and last 3 treatments have failed. The Radium 223 saw my PSA rise quickly half way through, he tried Zytiga + Predisolone my PSA initially dropped to 88 in early Nov but by Dec it

More Radium 223 vs EBRT questions
Though this quote is from an old Vogelzang article, it does not seem contradicted by newer studies: "Both EBRT and radium-223 are effective at relieving pain, but both may decrease bone marrow function. Since radium-223 has a documented survival advantage compared with the standard of care, which includes

How much internal radiation can a guy take?
I have bone mets in both femures and Ischium. I have read about Radium 223 as well as Lu-177 and AC-225 and variations. Can I start taking these radio pharma drugs with abandon without worrying about accumulated radiation? Should I plunge into the genre asap or wait for the best and safest to be

Anybody tried magnesium injections?
Just out of interest? I feel my magnesium uptake is pretty low, despite taking a few supplements a day and having regular baths in epsom salts. I've read that often injections are recommended but, obviously, these aren't available OTC in the UK. So just curious whether anybody had and felt the benefits

Musculoskeletal: There are multiple radiotracer avid osseous lesions, some of the lesions are sclerotic while others do not have underlying definite CT correlate
