Understanding tests !
I have recently posted about not feeling good four weeks after my thyroid lobectomy and will see the specialist on the 23rd May for the pathology results. I have had bloods taken by my GP which have shown my TSH has risen from 0.72 prior to surgery to 3.55 (range 0.3-4.5) which I know could be indicative

Update after mums surgery
So my mum underwent a lobectomy and wedge resection 2 weeks ago. She has since suffered a pneumothorax on the right side due to a chest drain not functioning properly and also has an infection but is recovering. She spoke to her surgeon today and was told that the lymph nodes on her right side were showing

The life after chemo isn't what I thought it would be.
Hello everyone. Finished chemo on February 15th this year... I had hoped of old me just bouncing back. But I don't believe the ol me is left in me anymore. Got upcoming surgery in ten days to remove my colostomy bag. Very scared about it too. But this state of depression is not what I was expecting.Everone

I'm Back
Hi fellow fighters, I plugged in about a month ago with my story. I'm not sure where I left off, but a lot has transpired since then. I reported that I thought I had a rotator cuff injury that I inquired about in November. Fast forward after an MRI, in January revealed that a tumor was in the humerus

Gabapentin
Just wondered if everyone after a lobectomy takes gabapentin and how long they have stayed on them for. Was reading something that made it sound like you could be left with permanent nerve dam age and would need to just stay on them!

Bowel Endo Surgery - anyone? Xx
Hi everyone. I've had stage 4 endo for many many years (I'm 30 now). Had one lap 5 years ago when I had a 8cm chocolate cyst removed from right ovary but he wouldn't touch the left side as it was such a mess - ovary attached to my bowel etc - and didn't want to do it without the bowel expert there.

What are your thoughts?
In Feb 2016 I was diagnosed with stage 3b nsclc with right lower and middle lobectomy, chemo and radiation. I saw my oncologist in December with no evidence of disease. I am scheduled to see her in June. For the last couple of months I have had onset of low back pain with no injury. Two days ago

How long is recovery?
My father went into hospital on the 3rd March for an ilesotomy reversal. Due to surgical complications he has had two further emergency operations and now has a colostomy. In that time he has spent several weeks in ICU on a ventilator and also had a tracheotomy for a while. He is now back on the ward

Another challenge...
Hello again, My previously fit Mum was diagnosed yesterday with colon cancer. It appears to be quite advanced, and she is due to start chemo- and radio- therapy shortly. Then she will have surgery and a colostomy. My Dad and I will be sharing the practical business of daily commutes to the hospital

hello everyone, I hope this finds everyone ok! I have just joined, and feel this a place of safety! I was diagnosed with stage 4 nsclc adenocarcinoma in October 2014. One met to occipital lobe. Anyways to cut a long story short, I remain clear following gamma knife radio surgery, lobectomy and chemotherapy

My husband and his thyroid problem
Hi. Not sure where to start. This is for my husband. I am a googler and came across your site. I have never posted anything but read your site everyday looking for answers. Reading your questions and responses on various issues (pain especially has been very useful) so far have been very interesting

Post surgery experience - colostomy.
