Stuck between a rock and a hard place. Really confused over next steps on treatments.
Morning everyone, I've turned to this board because quite frankly I have no idea what to do. After meeting with a new consultant on February 17th a new treatment plan was put in place. This consisted of; Try to put the mirena back in using a local anesthetic (4th attempt). If that worked great if not

Lymph node pain?
Hi everyone, I am on W&W and every now and then I feel pain in my groin area. My lymph nodes are swollen in my neck area and my groin. I get sharp pain sometimes in my groin area and I was told by my doctor this was because of my swollen lymph nodes. Has anyone else experienced this? My numbers are

Don't be afraid to talk about bowel cancer
Bowel cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in the UK. There are 40,000 new cases every year. Nine in ten cases are in people over 60. If you’re aged 60-74, there is a screening programme for bowel cancer. Ask your GP about it. You’re also at increased risk if you have a family history of

Endo surgery - bowel resection.
Hi ladies. I have stage 4 Endo, mostly around the bowel. I will be having surgery in the next couple of months. I have been warned of a 6 week recovery time and certainly 6 off work. I was wondering if this is the experience that people have had. I was hoping that this is a very conservative indication

Imipramine and restless leg syndrome
I have been taking imipramine for quite a few years now. It doesn't seem as effective as it did when I first started taking it. Does anyone else take imipramine for Rls? My mum suffers also but she has been prescribed gabapentin.

Hi all, first post looking for help! I was diagnosed stage 4 endo after a lap in July 2015, symptoms didn't improve (if anything got worse!!) and I tried cerazette, which turned me into a crazy lady unable to cope with the day to day so I stopped those and have now been offered Danazol. I'm really

IBS D and Piles
I wonder how many IBS D sufferers get bothered with Piles. Generally piles more associated with constipation, however, I have the D variety and have also suffered quite badly with Piles for approx. , the last 20 years. This just makes the whole episode of multiple BM's even worse. Recently ,

Cisplatin anyone?
Hello I've reacted to my last dose of carboplatin, having had extra steroids and antihistamines as I also reacted to the last, second, infusion. It was working so seems to me that the most similar other chemo, which seems to be cisplatin, would be my best option. Does anyone have experience of cisplatin

Aren't doctors amazing!!
My doctor fully understand everything I say to him! Just got back and I feel so relieved that someone listens to me!! I went in the room sat down and cried my eyes out he gave me a tissue and gave me a few minutes.. I eventually told him my fears of having bowel cancer and that I thought I had it! He

Bowel Cancer
Bowel Cancer is a big killer of older men. The NHS provides screening for bowel cancer and home testing kits are available to all men and women aged 60-74. The kit is looking for FOB or faecal occult blood. In a nutshell, the test looks for blood hidden in your pooh. This can be an early sign of bowel
