Feeling rough!
Hi, I’m really suffering this evening with so much pain and discomfort and intermittently having to go to the loo. All I can put it down to is earlier I had a fry’s chocolate cream bar . I think it’s the richness of the dark chocolate and fondant cream. I started feeling really bloated and twinges of

Turmeric Curcumin: BCM-95 or Meriva - Maybe Neither
I switched my Turmeric to BCM-95 some years ago. I had read an article “researchers believe that the ar-turmerone derivatives... can be used as new therapeutic agents for Parkinson’s disease (a). The search was on to find a supplement with turmerone. I found BCM-95 had some essential oils in it. I asked

Laxatives that don't cause nausea?
Hello I am suffering from constipation and just wondering what laxatives are least likely to cause nausea? I'm having problems with my stomach I'm getting an endoscopy in a month I'm feeling nauseous almost all the time and having problems going to the toilet. So very sensitive to meds at the moment.

Does fear play a role with pernicious anemia?
Hey guys, I hope this message finds you well. It's good to have a place to come that someone has some understanding of what you're going through! I messaged here before about having fear of a lot of things that I didn't have before this PA/B12 deficiency and sometimes I think of myself as a wimp because

Advice on Vitamin D, K2 and Folate
Hi Everyone I have recently had a range of blood tests done, unfortunately I don’t seem to have any results for thyroid which they were supposed to do. My GP has asked me to make an appointment to speak to her, so I’ll ask why I haven’t got any results for thyroid and whether the test was done.

Moving Forward - Endometrial Biopsy & Liver Function Tests
Hi, hope everyone is well. So, after speaking with a new clinic they have proposed some more tests, endometrial biopsy and liver function test. I've already had extended panel for immunology bloods done back in Oct. Can anyone share their experience of these tests/ results? Thanks

First blood test after starting Peg 17/12/2023
Hi, Blood test from 28/12/2023 Platelets down to 427 (previous 580, 560, 504). Elevated Potassium 5.4 and ALT 96. I guess Peg has elevated ALT?? My next FU is March 14th. I’m really hoping I don’t have to increase Peg which is currently 45 weekly.

Mutations
I am on Orserdu (elacestrant) for a ESR1 mutation and feeling great but my CA27-29 tumor marker numbers continue to rise. Prior to this medication I was on Capecitabine for a PIC3 mutation and prior to that Piqray. Does any one know what meds work to target both mutations simultaneously?

Confused about relatives diagnosis and treatment for colon cancer
Grandad is 87, diagnosed with colon cancer at the beginning of the year. Only symptom was rapidly decreasing iron in blood.They said he had stage T4 and that they were going to do an operation to remove the cancer. They did just that last week. Doctors said they had removed the cancer and he was released
