Coming to terms with future treatment
I had two appointments yesterday, one with a new consultant and one for a pre op ready for a lap with excision of endo, from minimal areas. I have come away feeling worried about what is now in store for me. My op is on the 19th October and they will cut away some but not all areas where endometriosis

Good morning everyone. Last week I put on a post about my brothers accident 5 yrs ago which has left him disabled from the neck down & his wife left him. My Mum & I have said we will look after him. I am very ashamed to say his house is/was very dirty. Anyway, my Mum, Dad, Aunt & a cousin

Anyone out there ever experienced BRIGHT YELLOW stool with PBC? ( I know a lil gross)
Its constant, at least 5 times a day. ( I had a subtotal
colectomy
so I have alot of movements). I was just curious if anyone else with PBC experienced light color stools, such as yellow?

Does anyone have any experience of paraneoplastic syndromes, or on how to raise concerns you stumble across with medical experts?
As a bit of background, My dad was diagnosed with stage 2 nsclc on 20 June and is due to go for a lobectomy on 24 July. The surgeon has explained he has to take a look with a camera first before committing to the full surgery as he needs to know if the fluid showing on his lung contains cancer cells

MRI scan booked for 10th July as my uterus is stuck to my bowel!
Nothing is straight forward! My consultant has arranged for me to have an MRI scan as he needs to see my womb as it's stuck to my bowel. I've opted to have a hysterectomy because of this terrible condition called endometriosis. He said the worse case scenario is possibly a colostomy which hopefully

What to do?
I was diagnosed with cancer of the uterus in March, following a hysterectomy I had a pet scan which showed something on my lung. It was first thought it could be secondary cancer, but following a VATs section at Guys 2nd May where the whole tumour (13 mm) was removed I was diagnosed with 1A lung cancer

After seeing my consultant it looks like a hysterectomy is my only option. I have to have a MRI scan now as my uterus is stuck to my bowel.
I'm feeling a little down at the moment as nothing is straight forward. I'm opting to have a hysterectomy as I feel there is nothing else I can do. My consultant said that I cannot keep taking Zoladex as that hardens the womb etc and makes an operation more difficult. I haven't taken Zoladex for 3

Here I go again.
I have given up smoking so many times only to start again. I have again started the process of getting ready to give up. I only smoke at home, think in a way I could be classed as a secret smoker, I go to work and I'm fine, its just at home that the cravings get the better of me. You would have thought

Have you been affected by Lower rectal cancer ?
If you have been affected by lower rectal cancer I believe this site would be a good starting point to learn more. http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/theblackhole/index.html It covers Help & information on rectal polyp bowel cancer requiring an AP resection or AbdominoPerineal Resection (APR) or AbdominoPerineal

Is there any way of obtaining Psychosexual Therapy & relationship councelling on the NHS after an APER that has left you impotent.?
An APER is the excission of rectum leaving you with a colostomy due lower rectal cancer.

Chemotherapy after Surgery
Two weeks ago my husband had a right upper lobectomy and lymph node sampling. He was discharged last week but to our suprise was given an appointment to attend the hospital on Monday only 13 days after the operation. It transpired that they were concerned that my husbands lung had not inflated fully

Living a nightmare
My Husband was diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis in 2010 age 50 on a regular check up last November a tumour was found on his left lung and he subsequently had a lobectomy of his upper left lung. He was off work for 3 months and returned part time but is now finding this so hard, just done

Endo and me the next round
Right so I went to see the consultant on Monday. Further to the fact that the Zoladex has done absolutely nothing, the pain is back to the same level it always was before if not worse, the bowel issues are back, the bloating is back, and the worst part is I have been bleeding every day for the last

Colostomy - The Truth
Hi, I am 33. Last April (2011), I received laproscopic surgery for endometriosis. I had a 5cm cyst on my ovary and everything down there was so stuck down that they couldn't even see my fallopian tubes. I was also diagnosed with infiltrating endometriosis, which basically means it is in my bowel too

1st time I've done this so fingers crossed : ) I was diagnosed and hopefully cured in 2010. I was admitted to hospital in the june with a suspected blood clot after being treated for pleurisy. After numerous tests I was diagnosed with pneumonia and discharged. Follow up showed no change to my xray, had
