please some help here, end stage liver cancer.
Dear BLT people, I hope you are all doing reasonably well. After my story 1.5 year ago about my misdiagnosed liver cirrhosis its kind of weird to say that I found out that my dad was diagnosed with liver cancer today. (he was never a drinker or fat or what so ever, he is quite old though, he is

Peak flow meter
Hi all. Has anyone bought a peak flow meter? I use one now and when I blow my measure is 180 max. Now not sure what this means and what colour zone I am in. Please help if you can. Thanks.

Unsure about thyroid results/next steps
Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me understand my thyroid results. TSH 3.5 (0.35 -5.5) FT4 14.7 (11.9 -21.6) FT3 5.14 (3.1 -6.8) Anti-TPO 253 (<34) Anti-Tg 120 (<115) The Anti-TPO seems high, what should be my next steps? Thanks š

Could This Be Thyroid?
I know what you're going to say... do these tests and just wait and see... I'm very anxious with symptoms right now and just looking for some thoughts. Although I am currently awaiting investigations into what I'm fearful might be a liver or pancreas problem (you know what I'm saying), I'm hoping some

First Private Blood Test
This is my first post to this excellent website, and I hope someone can help me understand my first private blood test - fasting, last levothyroxine 26 hours previously. No B12 supplement for three weeks prior to the test. I did find it difficult to get sufficient blood, this being my second attempt

Anyone had 2 blood tests with different labs to compare results?
Has anyone ever been unsure of their results and taken two tests around the same time eg. NHS and a private company ie. Blue Horizon to compare their results to see if there is much in the way of a difference in levels for accuracy purposes? The reason I ask is via my GP/NHS it's never guaranteed that

advice, thoughts please, feeling rather desperate?!
hi I only got one response to my recent post which was so kind but no feedback so am trying again as Iām a bit stumped. Iād hoped going on NDT would relieve fibro symptoms and generally help me feel better, and give me more energy, but despite latest test results I donāt feel that much different. Certainly

Emphysema on Lung Health Scan
I have mild emphysema FVC/FEV1 ratio 65% FVC % of normal 119% FEV1% of normal 104% I recently had a lung health check for cancer ( negative ) but there was no mention of emphysema on my letter --- I asked my doctor this morning & he said it probably didn't show up because your lung damage is mild
