Blood test protocol for Thyroid levels
Hi, just need some advice on doing Thyroid blood tests in the evening. I have seen the protocol for doing it in the morning before 9am and on an empty stomach etc. What about if your taking your T4 medication before bedtime at 11pm after eating your last meal 4 hours before. Do you take your blood

Understanding blood test results
I was diagnosed with CLL a year ago and am o watch and wait. My blood test results are apparently still good but I’d like to know how they compare to normal ones. Thank you.

Newly Diagnosed with High Cholesterol
I’m an otherwise healthy 53 year old who had a PSA blood test, and while that was thankfully clear, I was told I had high cholesterol (above 7.5). I’ve been put on a statin and have started a healthy eating and increased exercise regime. I consider my diet was pretty healthy anyway but have cut out red

Dr agrees to test B12 but not blood test...
Hi All, on going (20 years) of discussion with GP about exhaustion. He agreed to injections for a while but that stopped during Covid. I've injected myself for a bit. Now he has agreed to do further test (as blood comes back a huge number because I am injecting!). I think the test may be homocysteine

Can you ovulate naturally after you have taken a trigger shot (before the 36 hours)?!
Hello all Just wondering if anyone can advise to help ease my fears... as ever, there always seems to be a stress before egg collections or transfers, doesn't help doing it abroad! I am due to go for a natural FET in Cyprus in the coming few days (my last with own eggs :/ ), I am tracking ovulation

Advice after recent blood test results please
I have been taking Levothyroxine for decades but only recently appreciated, after advice from this fabulous website, the correct way to undertake thyroid blood tests. After decades of iron deficiency I had an iron infusion a few months ago (therefore ferritin now high), I inject B12 regularly for Pernicious

Reducing thyroxine from 100 mcg to 75 mcg
My recent blood test is: FT4 18.4 (range 7.9-14.4) FT3 6.6 (range 3.8-6.0) TSH <0.02. My TSH always seems to be this no matter what dose I’m on. I was on 150 mcg years ago and have been gradually reducing my dose mainly because of my TSH when other results were in range. In 2023 my FT4 went above range

V&D after feeding sheep at petting farm - worried about baby.
I have been complete idiot. I went to the petting farm with our toddler yesterday and fed the sheep out of my hand. I washed them well afterwards but have woken up today and have bad sickness and diarrhoea. I’m hoping it’s just a coincidence but the midwife said I have to go in when I’m well and have

My CLL has Transformed
Finally had a pet scan on May 28 which showed extensive transformed disease above and below the diaphram with extensive head and neck disease, a pelvic mass and spleenomegaly. I am going for a biopsy next week to confirm diagnosis. If RT confirmed, then I will be admitted to Upenn for 5 days of intensive

PC no longer castrate resistant
Hello all, my latest pet/ct scan indicates my PC is no longer castrate resistant as there is new disease growth in my lungs. Largest lesion is 2.5 centimeters. I'm no longer taking xtandi, so it can be "washed out" of my system prior to new treatment, however I'm still getting quarterly lupron shots

My latest blood tests have just come back. I’d be grateful for comments from the amazing admins please. At the moment I’m not feeling great, my last tests about 8 months ago showed my B12 to be low so I started taking a liquid B12 supplement sublingually. I’m not taking any iron supplements. I take vit

MPN Voice App for monitoring symptoms
I have recently started to use the app,! I have to say how easy it is to use. Recording symptoms is so quick and handy and I even added my own. I added all my recent blood tests easily too. I think it will help us patients all provide a good record of how we are feeling to our medical teams and help

High risk vs. aggressive cancer
I understand the definition of high-risk prostate cancer (Gleason, PSA and/or spread), but that doesn't necessarily seem to be the same thing as aggressive cancer. How can aggressiveness be determined for high risk, localized cancer? Thanks for any insight and information.

PSA Rising
Asking for a friend of my father this time. He had surgery in december 2022 and everything was removed including glands. Gleason 4+5. His PSA has risen från 0.1 to 0.14 in 12 months. His doctor says to do nothing until it hits 0.2. But shouldn’t he do more? Maybe he doesn’t have advanced cancer yet.
