Soy Lecithin protien powder ?
I am on a low calorie high protien diet, and have been using protien powder to supplement my diet. However I have become aware of articles saying that one of the ingredients ( Soy Lecithen ) is believed to interfere with thyroid hormone production ! What are people's thoughts on this, as I am very

normal gamma-gt and cirrhosis?
hello, I went to the GP today to discuss concerns about drinking. I’ve cut down significantly but am concerned about having already done irreversible damage. Historically my results have always been normal (last blood test in March). She said that if gamma-gt is normal, cirrhosis is unlikely, but did

raised AST (SGOT) levels and your history with CLL
when i was DX 7 years ago, my AST levels were at around 30. my oncologist hasn't said much about the fluctuations, which have gone up to 50 on occasion. so when i went to see my GP who worked in oncology in another country, told me that i have mild fatty liver, i was shocked as i was obviously unaware

I’m on 87.5mcg levo for now (have been prescribed 100mcg, but am increasing slowly) and I plan to test again in another couple of weeks with MMH to see how my levels are doing. Over the past two weeks I’ve felt really well and have been out and about more - walking, shopping, out for coffee (only ever

Looking for any Info for Recent PC Diagnosis
I’m a 62 year old, recently diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer. I’ve been on hormone therapy for 2 weeks and see my oncologist in a week. My PC seems to be aggressive and my PSA is off the charts 885! I would love any positive info I can get.

Dosage question.
I was diagnosed with Graves and overactive thyroid forty four years ago. I had a thyroidectomy and started on synthetic thyroid hormone therapy. I’m 69 now and take 100 mcg of Levothyroxine daily, my TSH is 0.291, low. What dose should I be taking?

Ascites
I’m going through the diagnosis process at the mo. Had CT scan last week. Follow up appointment isn’t until a week on Monday. I’m quite sure I’m suffering with ascites. Do I wait til that appointment to find out or should I call someone (consultant’s secretary or my own GP) to ask for it to be drained

MRI HCC Scan and bloods.
Hi guys.I have just received my 6 months routine MRI Scan results . Like the other 5 scans I've had they've shown no features of concern and my next routine scan is booked for 6 months. The monitoring liver blood result was normal ( AFP <1). On the blood form for the next scan it shows Cirrhosis CPT

Fibroscan Frequency
I had a Fibroscan 3 months ago as an earlier US diagnosed I had cirrhosis. I have fatty liver and a LSM of 28.2 . I have given up alcohol completely since then. I asked the consultant when will I have another Fibroscan . He told me in about a year. I was hoping to have another one much sooner so

Encouraging results
Went for 6 monthly US today and they also fitted me in for a fibroscan. Well...the US showed a regular shaped, smooth liver with no nodules and only mild fatty liver. Fibroscan was still high at 40, but much better than 10 months ago when it was 74. My liver is recovering from the years of alcohol I

Updates to de novo metastatic prostate cancer treatment
Q. Is the current standard of care has changed in just one year? Docetaxel may now be considered in low volume and de novo disease together with an AR pathway inhibitor and radiation therapy indications should be extended not only to low volume but also to high-volume de novo disease? A. Yes, there

Help Interpreting PET Scan Results
This is for my son's father (and my best friend). His biopsy showed prostate cancer, Gleason Score 7 (3+4), Grade 2, cancer found in all 12 cores. Yesterday he went in for a PSMA PET Scan and the results were delivered to his online account this morning. His Dr is closed for the holiday weekend so

to anyone new to the group.....
Hi - and welcome! My name is Donna - I facilitate this support group for The PBC Foundation - Health Unlocked. If you are new to your diagnosis, first of all, take a breath. It’s ok. We all, myself included, have been exactly where you are right now…. scared, unsure, mad, sad, and so much more. Stop
