Will my dad be okay?
Hi all - I’m writing because I’m really worried about my dad (62 yrs). He’s been having some pain between his shoulder blades while exercising for a few months now. He went in to see his cardiologist last week, and came back with a calcium score of 2200 and an appointment for an angioplasty + at least

Is somatostatin an anticancer drug?
My husband was operated in 1996, 2000 and 2003 for a thymoma, and had two times RT after the first and the second treatment. The control CT were ok until 2020, he had only very small encapsulated nodules. But then he's got a prostate cancer in 2018. In 2018, November, he was operated for a Gleason 9

The Magic Pill

Chest pressure..help! High cholesterol found after..Others tests needed?
Hi All, New on this subject. I’ve been suffering on off chest tightness, worse slightly left, sweating and swollen eyelids, ankles and toes. Poor mobility due to other conditions, pituitary, thyroid and fibromyalgia. Therefore statins not suitable and all can cause increased cholesterol. After months

Newly diagnosed and seeking help
Hi, I have recently been diagnosed with an under active thyroid. Initially my GP diagnosed angina but the cardiologist disagreed and suggested thyroid problems were the cause of my symptoms of extreme fatigue and breathlessness. My cholesterol had also gone from normal to very high prompting prescription

COC Protocol
Has anyone tried the COC Protocol for breast cancer? They prescribe repurposed combinations of existing licensed medications that are used to treat conditions other than cancer. I gather they are off -patent drugs that aren't worth the drug companies time because they are unable to profit from them.

I've just had 3 days of heck with this cholesterol lowering drug. It could be all the E numbers or the povidone but my bs has been high for the three days along with many side effects. I certainly couldn't go through another day of it, so I'm giving up. The reason I was trying it is because I

Can hyperlipidemia cause Hughes Syndrome?
I was just recommended to this site because I mentioned that 23 years ago (at age 36) my then cardiologist said along with my off the charts lipids, that my blood was "so sticky that they could not even get a real true accurate lipid count." I have assumed that it has been the statins and fibrates that
