Colonic polyps

Polyps The risk of developing colonic polyps is high in people with the smoking habit. Colonic polyps develop on the mucosal lining of the colon or rectum. While a few polyps are benign or noncancerous, others may tend to become malignant.

I received the blood test results yesterday and feel like I can't breathe. They were out last DE, we have nothing left. We said this would be our last try, but now I can't help wondering. So much money and time has been invested. Many many treatments and procedures: Laparoscopies, hysteroscopies, embolization

What supplements did everyone take for their FET and was it successful? I’m taking the Zita West bundle but don’t know if it’s overkill (and expensive!), especially when I can’t have my transfer yet until I’ve had a polypectomy. Thank you.

Hi everyone 😁😁 First time posting for me on here. Sorry if it's a bit of a long one. I'm still in the investigation stages of my symptoms. I was told I probably had Endometriosis back in December and had a Laparoscopy today where no Endo was found but biopsies of my uterus lining was taken and what

Hi, first time posting, needed a little guidance from the community... Background - I’m 39 (40 in September) low AMH and due to have endometrial polyp removed (either privately in May or NHS In July). We’ve been ttc naturally for 1 year but no luck. I am currently undertaking some training with a

Hi, I haven’t posted for a while as I have been investigated following a positive faecal occult blood test. They have found a large polyp in my caecum which I am having removed on Friday. For some unknown reason, I have had a few months of remission from my RLS but now they are ‘kicking off’ again.

Is there a shortage in the UK can't seem to find it in pharmacy

Hello fellow endo warriors. I have a dilemma. I really don't want to go back on the bcp after being on it for 15 years as it has not been effective for my deep infiltrating endo on my bowel. My ultimate goal is to heal endo at the core using non-hormonal & surgery approach. Not just a bandaid solution

Right now I am sad and very angry. I have been under my local gynae and gastroenterology departments for over 20 years. That’s 20+ years of endless gastro tests for my ongoing digestive issues (I’ve had 2 colonoscopies, 2 gastroscopes, blood tests, fit tests, a scan for bile acid malabsorption). During

After 5 months on Acala twice a day and having just finished my Obin infusions, my lymphocyte count is now 3.6, down from 280 before my treatment began. Obin killed my leukemia cells so fast at the beginning I got hospitalized for 36 hours with TLS as my kidneys were overwhelmed with dead cancer cells

I was just advised by my vascular surgery team that CLL greatly increases your risk of blood clots hence the need for a surgical intervention. I am just in the process of researching this further and was wondering if this community could shed further light on this for me. thanks

Following on from the interesting discussion on testing for 17p del and TP53 disruption/mutations I thought it might be worth posting this paper which sets out how this testing and analysis is done. It's published by ERIC, the European Research Initiative on CLL, and is the 2024 update of the last

Following 12 months of rising lymphocytes I’ve just had confirmation that I’ve got CLL. Not great news but genetic tests are encouraging, so I’m low risk watch and wait at this time. This comes after 21 years of living with another form of blood cancer, Essential Thrombocythaemia (ET for short). That

Did a 'deep dive' on Lymphatic Drainage. What kept cross-referencing was rebounding. So, I got in the market for a mini-trampoline, then decided to 'go full send', committed to an annual membership at a trampoline park. Forget the dogma, 'this is for kids'. Usually there when kids are in school,

Hi from Australia! i have joined this forum after searching for alternative treatments to chemo for my dad (83) CLL 8 years on. I am very open minded with a slight bias against chemo after watching my mum suffer and pass from breast cancer. So not wanting my dad to have chemo unless it’s a last resort

Could hypopharynx fullness be related to a typical progression of cll or a possible richters transformation? TIA

Hi all Diagnosed since this past June. Started on Brukinsa due to 6mm Supraclavicular node. Tolerating well on reduced dose of 240mg. I have a Notch 1 mutation and a normal FISH. No one has ever mentioned this mutation to me and was afraid to ask. Can anyone give me information on this. Also negative

Mike Peters from a Welsh music band The Alarm had CLL for 29 years but was diagnosed with a Richters transformation this year. He received treatment in the UK STELLAR trial which adds Acalabrutinib to the usual R-CHOP chemotherapy. He's had a spectacular response and his story is here http://digitaleditions.telegraph.co.uk

Hi AllI have had chemo for high grade B cell and Richters Cll. In remission for 2 years but now regressed with nodes in 3 areas. Am on Watch Wait to see how fast growth is. They say possibility of an inhibitor drug called Zanubrutamide if growth of Richters gets faster. Googled drug but says
