Feeling confused
My dad (aged 72) was diagnosed with stage 2 lung cancer last February. The cancer hadn't spread, so surgery was a good option. He is very fit and healthy and has never smoked. He had a successful lobectomy in March and they took some nearby lymph nodes which came back clear. He was advised to have four

Jaci
My daughter Jaci suffered from OC, eventually she had colostomy and we were advised she would be in ITU for 3 days, however we had phone call 12 hrs later to say she had been moved to acute stroke unit due to emergencies in ITU. She then got infection and passed away. We were at the mercy of bed managers

Pregabalin
Hi everyone. I have to write on this site to see if anyone has advice for me. I have been taking pregabalin for approximately 18 months this time. It is the one drug that I have every been given that made any difference to the severe anxiety I suffer from. I have read blogs on this site from other people

Hernia on c-section type scar
Mine is on the left and due to a c-section type scar I have for a sigmoid
colectomy
3 years ago. The GP seems pretty sure that is what it is. I also have adhesions. The main symptoms are shooting pains, into the thigh, hip, and pelvis (in the buttock) all on the left while the right is fine.

Operation has failed!
I mentioned a while ago that I had a procedure involving injections of collagen into the anal canal to treat passive incontinence. I was so hopeful that it would work, but now I`m bitterly disappointed because I`m no better than before. I`m worried that I`ll end up needing nappies, or have to have a
