Bowel problems
I am starting my third round of chemo as I have had bowel changes and it was found the cancer had grown around the bowel which my oncologist says it could make it sluggish. But my problem is that I’m emptying my bowels up to 8 times a day and I’m very loose which stops me going anywhere for fear or soiling

RADIUM... My dad is extremely exhausted and weak since started RADIUM 223 a week ago . Xtandi started 3 weeks ago. Please Respond.
Hi my heroes! Can you please tell me what to expect and how to advise him ? Please share your experiences and progress as well. All hope and smiles 😊 welcome! My dad loves to be on the go and he feels floored since radium. For him to sleep all day or wake up past 12 just isn't him, but thankfully he

Radium 223 disaster
Feb my PSA started to rise (it was 0.028 most of last Summer) the RO said it's normal for PSA to rise during this treatment so didn't worry, they were happy with my blood counts and said things seem to going well, July my PSA got to 75 and started to become concerned, the pain in my legs started to increase

Dealing with balanitis since March - suggestions?
Hi all - looking for some advice on what to do. I've been suffering from recurrent balanitis since March. Same pattern as others: treatments offer relief, but it eventually comes back once stopping them (sometimes even while treatment is ongoing). Symptoms in my case seem milder than what I've read

Happy Day!
A few weeks ago I had my annual appointment (an on-line one this time) with my EP, Dr. Rodney Horton at TCAI in Austin. He told me that my chance of my Afib being fixed are statistically 96 percent. I do not need to follow up with him unless my heart decides to act up again. I am thrilled as it has been

Uh Oh, These new shoes don't know when to stop 🙈🏃♂️👟🏆
So my new shoes arrived today. Revel 3 Tropical Collection - They are things of beauty. Of course, looks aren't everything so I thought I best get them on and give them a try. But how long should their maiden voyage be? At first I thought a gentle 5k to ease them in slowly. But the weather was so nice

Lots of black & circular floaters + bloodshot eye after my last Avastin injection. Should I worry?
I have been having regular Avastin shots for 18 months, with no progression of the wet MD. I've had floaters before, but not this many so frequently. I've also had large black circular floaters (from the glycerin used in the packing, from what I've read) which eventually disappeared. Now my floaters

Chronic boils anyone?
I'm stage 3b due to chronic kidney infections causing "inflammatory changes." I take activated Vit B6, antioxidants, sodium bicarb and get prolonged sun exposure (Vit D). My immune system doesn't seem to be compromised. I caught my first cold in years and it was super mild and only lasted 3 days.

Do you supposed to feel anything for CKD? And what are the symptoms?
Hello everyone I found out I have CKD in the last October with 1.48 creatinine, I met a very unhelpful doctor who just told me to have a low protein diet, and I didn't know what it was so I had to go online googled, then I found out CKD patients shouldn't eat high potassium, high phosphorus, high sodium

VEGF Inhibitors.
The list below is copied from a paper published last year [1]. As many might recall, untreated tumors outgrow their blood supply. Contrary to popular belief, cancer does not "hate" oxygen. Oxygen insufficiency (hypoxia) results in production of HIF-1alpha (hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha), which triggers

It has been a long time since I have been on this forum. Unfortunately, we have the news that my SO has run out of all treatment options except for experimental drugs. He will not be taking it as his body has been weakened from all the different cocktails he has already tried. His PSA is now 185,

Well... They arrived much sooner than I expected. Under Armour HOVR Infinite. They don't fill me with the WOW I was expecting, or what I got from my Brooks Glycerin 16s when I first tried them on. Think the toe box might be a little tight for me but I'll wear them round the house for a few days before

Heart Spasm?
Hi all, On Sunday afternoon I had a sudden intense “spasm” , felt like someone had reached in and squeezed my heart. I’ve had similar feelings occasionally before but this time it left me with a tight, heavy “lump” in the middle of my chest which would not go away...on top of which I felt weak, ill and
