Cancer!
Hello everyone. I haven’t posted for a while. I’ve been taken off hydroxycarbamide as I am having treatment for bowel cancer. ( radiotherapy only! )The funny thing is that my platelets are now normal 🤷🏽♀️ and have been for a few weeks. I haven’t seen my haematologist as I have been traveling back

Big Decisions... I need to hear any experience you’ve had
The decision I’m wrestling with is... do I go home on my low fibre diet and keep trying to manage it and have my chemo, with the risk of going into
obstruction
and
bowel
perforation.

Seeking Cisplatin advice
Hello ladies. Im hoping for some advice/reassurance. I’m currently two thirds through a three weekly regime of six cisplatin and taxol. The fourth dose floored me, left me so tired and weak that I spent five days in bed, only getting up to stagger a couple of paces to the loo. Has anyone else found cisplatin

medical marijuana and COPD
I read an article on line that said medical marijuana reduces inflammation and provides better sleep. I am not to sure whether it was CBD (does not cause a high) or HTC ( causes a high. Does anyone have evidence or have tried it for your COPD?

Rectal cancer
I just had my first visit with my Oncologist, Surgeon and Radiation therapist on Friday. The Oncologist said I have between stage 2 & 3 rectal cancer. They are very optimistic and think they caught it in time. I will begin chemo and radiation therapy in early October for 5 1/2 weeks 5 days a week using

How long does nerve pain last?
I had my right upper lobe removed (vats) 5 months ago and finished chemo in 7 weeks ago. I'm beginning to think the nerve pain will never go away. Tried Gabapentin unsuccessfully and then Lyrica. After about 3 months of Lyrica, which really helped, I had to stop due to side effects. The nerve pain

adverse reaction to aromatherapy?
The cancer nurse at my GP practise suggested I might like to take advantage of various treatments our local hospice provides for cancer sufferers. I went today for a chat with the therapist to discuss the options. She had a diffuser, puffing out essential oils, mixed with water. My lungs started to

Colon Cancer surgery
Hi everyone, my name is Vickie. I was told I have colon cancer on 9/5/2018 after the doctor got the results from my colonoscopy. This coming Tuesday I have to get an MRI and CAT scan. The doctor who performed the colonoscopy told me he thinks they caught it in time and I may only need surgery to remove

More than one antispasmodic med
Is it normal to be put on 2 different antispasmodic meds at the same time? I've been on Mebeverine for about a month and I don't feel any benefit so I say my GP today and told him the constant pain isn't easing at all, so he's put me on Alverine too! He told me to keep taking the Mebeverine as well?

any good pro/ prebiotics for bloating and excessive gas ??
can any one recommend an effective pre/ probiotics brand that specifically addresses IBS /D ?? i mean that is also FODMAP friendly * no lactose or corn derivatives in the inactive ingredients * Every brand claims they are the best , but i need something truly tried by an IBS / D sufferer . I'm already

IBS C and D
I am struggling with IBD C and D, I have lots of wind and bloating, it started off as IBS C a long time ago and now appears to be both, sometimes alternating and sometimes at the same time. I can have pain on going to bed at night if eaten slightly the wrong thing, and still trying to find out what suits

Is this normal, should I be worried?
Hi there, It's been nearly 2 weeks since the operation, on Monday it will be anyway. I'm a bit concerned about the state of the penis, from my point og view it doesn't look that good. Doctors have said the operation went well, and the week review he remarked how good it was looking, I've refered to this

Ascites. Permanent drain.
Hi lovely ladies. I’m still in hospital but the drain was done today. I’m still draining. I’ve got a permanent drain. Feels weird. My consultant has started me on a new chemo regime this Monday. I’ll be having cisplatin and gem. Fingers crossed I can tolerate the cisplatin as I can’t have carboplatin

Hello
A friend told me about this app. I’m 42 and got diagnosed with bowel cancer after an emergency op for perforated bowel, followed by an ileostomy. I’m on 7 of 8 chemo cycles as it spread to lymph nodes. Recently I’ve noticed bleeding from my bottom and getting worried that the cancer might have spread

Womanlab website & radio programme
Hello All I found this website today http://womanlab.org/blog/ and I thought it might be of interest. Its a US-based site which is evidence-based and looking at sex and cancer for women. There's information on menopause on there too. I also found this half-hour radio interview about genetics and cancer
