need some guidance, feeling desperate..
My husband has advanced, Stage IV castration resistant prostate cancer. When he was diagnosed in May 2022 his PSA was 4700, he has widespread bone metastases. He stopped responding to Docetaxel, Pluvicto and is now not responding to Cabazitaxel, his PSA is now over 700. He is feeling good, no pain

Neutropenia whilst on Tocilizumab
Hi. Just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience. Diagnosed with PMR and GCA Nov. 2021. For last 2 months I have been on weekly Tocilizumab injections; this followed a further flare up in December 2023 when the entire aorta was inflamed (I have never had cranial symptoms). I was certainly shocked

Worrisome DEXA results
I had 3 doctors tell me not to worry about a 12% decrease in my spine since the DEXA scans are not accurate when bone mass is very low. In addition in my case my spine has twisted and is not in the same position as in the last DEXA. On top of that the X-ray technician mislabeled the scan. For example

Flu A/scarred lungs/coughing

blood tests
haven’t posted in a while. Coping on 2 mg a day for a few years. I haven’t had a blood test since before covid. I have requested from time to time but been refused - I guess if I’m feeling ok then don’t worry. Is this usual when on long term steroids? As I get my pension this year I’m sure the general

Coarse Liver on Ultrasound scan
Good Morning, I had an ultrasound scan last Monday for suspected gallstones. No gallstones and was told all looked fine. On Wednesday last week the GP called me to say the report had come as a Goldstar report with a possible cancer diagnosis. My liver was described as coarse with multiple areas of increased

DCIS Diagnosis in 2023
Hi everyone, I had a routine mammogram in March 2023 and I was so confident that it was going to be fine, that I forgot about it by the end of the same day. I was shocked to get a phone call 10 later to tell me that they had found a mass in my left breast. I remember telling female friends about it

hyperthyroidism
Hi I had blood tests 3 weeks ago which show an overactive thyroid. I started carbimazole 30mg daily and propranolol 20mg daily. I am due to be having surgery in 2 weeks to remove the right side of my thyroid. However, today I have been informed my FT4 has jumped to 28.2 and TSH is undetectable. Carbimazole

Help with blood test results please
Hi All I've recently had 2 blood tests - one was a private finger prick test through monitormyhealth.com. The reason I took the tests was because I've not felt 'right' for quite some months. Insomnia (but then falling asleep at my desk during the day), constant aches and pains, headaches, unable

Blood tests whilst pregnant
This is a question after reading posts+research. I understand there is a Def link between underactive thyroid/Hashimotos kicking off whilst pregnant+a link between Hashimotos+pre-eclampsia. Speaking from experience many years ago, for me this seems clear. So, just as mother's are checked re diabetes

Loss of weight and appetite
Hi All, as you know I have now been on buprenorphine tablets (low dose) for 10 months with HUGE success.I have recently flown 11 hours from Heathrow to Arizona with NO RLS. My legs did go crazy for my first few days in the US until I worked out the time difference. My question is has anyone lost weight

Time to heal
It is now 9 months since I started LT4 being titrated up and last weeks blood test show I have finally hit optimal levels. My GP has agreed to test again in 3 months to check I remain stable (on 125mcg.) Now, I am sure that because of various symptoms etc; my thyroid had struggled for at least 20 years

Advice on latest blood tests
Hi all, Hoping to get some advice on bloods following my latest tests. Just wondered if it's worth increasing the T4 as it's a bit lower since putting on a little bit of weight. I'm happy with my Vit D, B12, Folate and Iron and hence have not included those results. Thanks in advance
