Basal cell cancers on scalp
Hello everyone. My mum, 87 has recurrent BCCs on her scalp as a result of taking MXT for RA. Due to ongoing recurrence, referral to Maxillofacial surgeons advised to do a wider excision as a day case to a single area with associated skin graft. Mum had her clips out of the area a week ago yesterday and

Bone Marrow Transplant.
Hello fam! Im looking for info from anyone who has had a bone marrow transplant! Provided I have a viable doner I’m in line to get one. Not going to lie I’ve got all types of mixed emotions! The tough part is being told this procedure will take 3 months to complete. I will have to travel to Boston

Back, neck, shoulder problems
Newbie here. CABG x 3 in March 19. On usual meds. Been recovering well and back exercising, jogging etc. Lots of walking, no breathlessness. Every couple of months I get occasional neck and shoulder, upper back stiffness and burning sensation rather than sharp pain. What would be causing this? Is

PRIVATE MEDICAL INSURANCE
Hi, my dad had a coronary artery bypass graft surgery this April. I have been looking for private medical insurance for him with little or no luck. I was told by all of them, including bupa whom I was told was the best, that they wont cover him for any pre-existing medical problems only new ones. Can

Stem cell transplant for Myelofibrosis
After 12 years with PV and then 2 years with MF I explained in a letter to my consultant that were the decision to have a transplant entirely mine it is what I would wish for. I'd been on Jakavi for a year and it had ceased to help. I then went onto the Pacritinib trial which curtailed night sweats

Done with Lutetium
I completed five of the six infusions in the VISION clinical trial before I was excluded due to low hemoglobin. The initial and main cause of the low hemoglobin was my bone marrow transplant in late 2017, but the level continued dropping. Lutetium reduced my PSA by about 300 per infusion, in a linear

Anxiety over life expectancy after Heart Bypass - how to cope?
Prior to my double heart bypass last year, I was told by the surgeon there was a 20% mortality rate after a bypass within 5 years. My operation was successful but this figure is preying on my thoughts... I’ve read about a long tracking study from Holland (I believe over 30 years) with a sizeable number

Anxiety 1 year after CABG
Hi I had a double CABG July 2018 when I was 50. Initially everything seemed fine afterwards and I had very little pain or discomfort. Since about February this year I have had more discomfort from my chest and left shoulder. Sometimes I can tell it is muscular but sometimes I have anxiety that it could

Can’t sleep 3 weeks after CABG x3
I’m finding it very difficult to get comfortable at night it’s making me feel very emotional, I hate night times. I have a recliner and also tried sleeping in bed but sleeping upright is wearing me out, if I try to sleep upright on my side my sternum clicks when I breathe. Is this normal. 😢

Is it possible CABG has cause a post op personality change
My husband had a triple bypass in May and he's not the same man. Angry, resentful (towards me), reclusive and quite nasty. Separation pending so would be glad of any feedback.

Shoulder Muscle Pain. Statins?
Feeling like both shoulders are pulling with some pretty slight movement. Taking Crestor and Zetia. Does anyone have any recommendations about dealing with the pain? I need the statins as I'm CABG x3 recently. Call is already into cardiologist.

Stent pain
Following recent cabg surgery I had further problems and a stent was put into one of the grafts 2 weeks ago. I continue to have chest pain so returned to A&E this week on advice of GP but the consultant is sure it’s stent pain. So why didn’t the cardiac consultant give me pain killers while I was in
