Any insight into # platinum chemo cycles?
So I'm about to start cisplatinum + etoposide chemo cycles on wed. next week for NECP/SCCP. The first irritant I have of which I'm sure will not be the only one is: I have no idea what the treatment plan is, I don't know how many cycles I'm scheduled for and what the treatment goal is. Researching

Blood thinning jab that won’t cause internal bleeding
In the Health section of the Mail last November I read about a new injection Abelacimab which in a head to head trial caused 81% fewer major bleeding incidents.Warfarin is known to be a risk for bleeding in 16% of patients. I no longer attend a clinic, it was always Rheumatology, but I guess I was deemed

Pradaxa (dabigatran)
I have just started with my afib journey (trek?). My GP told me that my best blood-thinner choices were Coumadin, Xarelto, and Eliquis. I did my research, and, right or wrong, I chose Eliquis, even knowing its expense. (I have no insurance, thus I paid a lot of money to buy my first bottle of pills

L-tyrosine causes sebaceous hyperplasia?
I take a hypothyroidm supliment that has L-tyrosine. Since I take it I got this acne called sabeceous hyperplasia all over my face and on my boob and under it. I read that L-tyrosine increases testosterone, which leads to PCOS (which I have) and sebaceous hyperplacia. Did anyone experience this? How

ET / Osteonecrosis / Surgery
Hello Has anyone else with ET experienced problems with insufficient blood circulation causing osteonecrosis? If surgery is inevitable, what extra cautionary measures should ET patients take?

Bowel cramps?
I had a laparoscopy about 9 weeks ago. I had endometrioma's removed from my ovaries, lots of adhesions removed from right pelvic wall and endometriosis removed from surface of the bowel. I'm presuming it was excised but I won't know for sure until I see my consultant in two weeks. My question is, is

Anticoagulants stopped by new consultant
I'll try to be as brief as possible! January 2019 I was diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism in both lungs and also AF and flutter. After various unsuccessful attempts to correct heart I had a catheter ablation June 2019 . Responded well and put on Bisoprolol and anticoagulants which I was told would

Faricimab injections and exercise
I’ve just been diagnosed with wet AMD R eye - my long sighted eye I used to use for driving - sadly no more - and dry AMD L eye (shortsighted) After each injection we are instructed to not do a variety of things including physical exertion for 5 days. No one has yet explained why no exertion and what

My IBS Team Sheet – 2. Haemorrhoids (How I manage)
I think that having experienced having Haemorrhoids about six years ago that led me to be diagnosed with IBS, the relationship between IBS and Haemorrhoids could be a bit of a Red Herring! To be fair, I have experienced having haemorrhoids once since my first diagnosis, but now that I exercise regular

Cholesterol and CLL
Hoping for some information from the wise ones here - back in January my GP said she wanted to start me on a statin as my cholesterol was high. I said I preferred to try to bring it down myself rather than with medication (and my intent here is not to start a debate on statins - I just prefer a natural

Binding of Thyroid Hormones
I have just spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to find a video which describes thyroid hormone binding. Most of the videos I found were terrible - difficult to listen to, superficial, bad (or no) graphics, noisy background music, too complex, scientifically unsound, or several of these! Eventually
