Heart Bypass Surgery
Hi All, I out of absolutely nowhere got told I had had a Heart Attack following what I thought would be a routine blood test and a day that started 5weeks ago to meet my friend in the pub for the usual Quiz night ended with me being told I had quite severe CAD and required an urgent triple CABG. Here

Unsure of best option in early prostate cancer diagnosis.
I have had PSA tests annually for 10 years and in Oct 2023 had an elevated 6.42 result. Was referred to a urologist, whom performed a DRE. There was prostate enlargement but no tumor discovered through DRE. After discussing several options, I decided to have a biopsy on Nov 21, 2023. Dec 5, 2023,

My Last (IFN) Dose, my Fateful Decision One Year Ago
This is a long and not cheerful post, I understand if you don’t wish to wade fully or at all thru it. Sections are marked for easy reference. The thoughts are my opinions only. -- I wrote a few months ago on my botched flu vax anniversary. Today is the one year mark for my Last Dose of Besremi

I am still struggling with treatment decisions - Help please.
I am struggling to decide on my treatment. The main point of conflict is HT or not, and LDR Brachytherapy (if I am eligible - because of a previous HOLEP) or IMRT. I also wonder if I should push hard for a 10-day earlier consultation at the risk of bad feeling. I welcome advice. In the UK - Referral

Staying on Ibrance & Anastrozole after 2 recurrences
I’ve been on Ibrance and Anastrozole for the last 6 years for metastatic endometrial cancer. I started out on the Ibrance125 mg and after a couple of years, had a problem recovering on the week off, so my dose was reduced to 100 mg. By spring this year, the counts could not recover on the week off,

COVID vaccine side effects
I have been on 11 1/2 mg of Prednisone and have been holding my own. Last Thursday I had my 7 th Moderna COVID booster. Since then I have been in terrible pain all over my body. When I take a Tylenol it does help ( which is not usually the case for me, normally). I really do not like taking Tylenol

HERE’S WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR: Small, hard white or skin coloured lumps. SCCs often first appear on the skin like this. A persistent, scaly red patch with irregular borders. These can sometimes crust or bleed. An elevated growth with a central depression A growth of this type may rapidly increase

Stent in trunk coronary artery
Hi - has anyone had a blockage in this artery? I was in Spain when I had my HA and the Cardiologist tried to explain but the language barrier got in the way. The final report was in Spanish too.

Covid Positive
Wednesday evening saw me get a positive Covid test result after me thinking I was immune 🤦♂️. I’d previously been told I’d need antiviral medication ( as I’m on 8L of oxygen upon movement) so Thursday morning we rang the doctor and a paramedic was sent to our house . A lovely guy came out and because

Invited for my unmentionable this week, feeling unexpectedly anxious, advice needed!
I'm not anti-V but I unexpectedly feel anxious about getting my boo-ster this week after my heart attack & stent last month. I'm 48, female & have a healthy, active lifestyle so for me, my heart attack came out of nowhere. Now I'm on 7 drugs every day, with a blooming GTN spray I'm having to use a couple
