Angina?
Hi, I am seeking some advice required from those who have had CABG. I had surgery about 15 months ago. all seemingly going swimmingly until about two weeks ago, when I started to experience discomfort in my left arm, akin to what I suffered pre-heart attack and surgery. Ache, and heaviness in my chest

2 days on from Angiogram
So...I have had my Bisoprolol increased to 2.5mg after my Angiogram and being advised that I need a CABG. I don't know if I am tired due to the emotional impact of the news or the Bisoprolol as my resting heart rate drops to around 39bpm when sat relaxed. I spoke to the cardiologist about the concern

Life returns to 'new' normal
Its not quite three months since my triple CABG and tomorrow evening I'm off on my first long haul flight post op. I've checked and packed everything - drugs, compression socks, warm clothes and the general paraphernalia of a typical business trip - but with the slight difference in that I've packed

WK 5 R3 and it’s been emotional
This last run was something I never thought I’d get to again, to cut a long story short I’ve had 11 cardiac stents, a number of heart attacks including arrests and a quad CABG. I was first diagnosed in my late 30 and my career was over in an instant. It’s been a long trial over many years but at last

Post CABG and airport scanners
I have titanium staples and a titanium plate in my chest where the surgeon pulled my sternum back together. Do these set-off airport security scanners? If they do, how do you explain this to the security officers?

Bone Marrow Transplant Begins
I feel like the past three and a half years have been rehearsal, and it's time for the big show. I will do the steps I have learned, and the result could be glory or disaster. I made a big bet on this new treatment. When I didn't fit the profile, I asked the researcher to change the parameters so

5 month update... still a mixed bag! Cholesterol??
Hi All... well I'm still here which is a good thing! Things have continued to be very up and down unfortunately and the emotional effects really started to kick in a month or so back when the realisation of what happened, what could have happened, what might happen all started to overwhelm me a little

Stem cell transplant
Hello! So I have just had my monthly visit with my CLL haemotologist. Preparing to go onto a trial with Ibrutinib and Venetoclax. Glands swollen and large all over. I am 11q unmutated lymphocytes trending upwards at 50 and last month were 33. Hb going slightly downwards but not bad. Everything else good
