Experiences with

Cancer and tumours

Originally had mri contrast but now just have plain mri and Ct contrast. Q2 I’m told my cancer markers and tumours appear stable which is great. Do others of you ‘routinely’ get cancer marker info as part of your 3monthly blood testing and scan results or do you ask for this info?

His kidney cancer has got bigger tumours now and also his lungs have got lots more cancer there too. Jim wants to come home as we all want him too. So a 48 hrs quick move is in place with a care plan. A hospital bed will hopefully get delivered very soon. I am numb!

Hi I don't know if any of you remember that a few weeks ago I had a biopsy done for skin cancer. Today got my results back and it is all clear. I just had that feeling that I didn't have it, but It did mean that I got rid of the mole and wart growing on it.

This article (American) is about Berberine, which is a supplement I’ve not heard much about. Westin Child’s mentions it, but he would

Hi! I’ve now received the “all clear”, but the fear is still there. Has the cancer really gone? Will it come back? When will it return? Will I catch it in time? How can I go through all the treatment again? How do you cope with these disturbing thoughts? I’m told to focus on the positive, which is

Hi guys, I know you will remember the farce that was my treatment - so no no need to do 10 A4 worth of words. Just say last year I never got a follow up - until almost a year later. This time I had my BCG treatment for BC and a week Wednesday I have a Cystoscopy to see if the treatment has worked

My wonderful father Albert Moser passed away May 20, 2023. The last few months have been incredibly hard. After his 4th dose of chemo in February, he had a big bleed from a tumor in his bladder which almost killed him. After a 10 day hospital stay with 12 transfusions and nephrostomy tubes inserted he

it is thirteen years since I was diagnosed with gca. , and to be truthful I have never felt well but have been ok. I still take low dose pred. And methotrexate. I haven’t seen rheumi for two years due to covid etc. so, a few months ago decided after five bad years to get a grip.

I'm starting Talzenna next week and want to know any experiences people have had with it. I'm super scared of the side effects ruining my ability to have a good summer. I've been on Ibrance and Letrozole for about 2 years and tolerated it very well. I've been able to live my life pretty normally. I had

hello everyone, I wondered if anybody had a similar experience and could offer some advice. I started on weekly Paclitaxel in January (second line treatment recurrence) and after my last CT scan I was informed that the cancer is progressing. My CA125 started to go down at first but soon started going

For a long time I have suspected that masturbation is more than just a lot of fun. Recently I have had a closer look on the Internet. There are many sites extolling the benefits. These are some of the common themes: reduce stress; improve muscle tone in the anal and pelvic areas; reduce the risk of

Hi all, I recently posted a separate post about a ground glass opacity growth and the tests my consultant has referred me to. I have a PET scan booked in for this Saturday and received a copy of the letter sent to my GP. Under actions the Consultant's letter reads "PET CT but very likely to be negative

I was diagnosed 18 months ago and the size was 0.07 cm. Stayed that size but last mri it’s grown to 1.2 cm. Have another appointment at Mayo tomorrow

I am waiting for the result of a 24 hour urine test. I have previously had above the normal range calcium tests. This has been going on for about a year. I’m guessing that the culprit is lithium but I’m wondering whether steroids can cause this ?

A few people said they would appreciate seeing more of my art here. I don't wish to share so much that I become a nuisance -- after all, this site is about cancer, not painting -- but here is today's effort. I call it "Jessie's Woodland Walk III". 12" by 9".

Hello all, I have a question. I was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer in 2021. I went through 6 rounds of Chemo & had a total hysterectomy in September 2021.
