No Dice - Back to Bath for Laura
Hi everyone, forgive me for disappearing, but this has been a bit of a saga, as you will see. Well, these are very weird and difficult times, so quitting my weekly train trips to London is a good thing. However, giving 6 months to the discomforts of the Dice Trial, only to have it fail, is pretty disappointing

Amiodarone rant...
Hi all, just need to have a rant! Last July I was admitted to CCU with an episode of Afib. A chest X-ray showed that I had mild infiltrates on my lungs and despite this and having COPD, they discharged me on amiodarone! My follow up appointment was for May - 10 months later! In February I became aware

Intrinsic factor etc

She didn't and nor did I realise that she needed to have regular shots by gp. I feel so guilty and wish I had known more about this awful disease

Imaging at Low PSA
I was on Lupron + Casodex for a year for lymph node metastasis. In November 2019, I started ADT vacation. My last Lupron shot was in September, 2019. In February 2020, my PSA was 0.07 (slightly up from 0.06 in November 2019) and T <20. Today, I learned that my MO wants me to have chest X ray, Abdomen

Ferritin v Haeomoglobin
Evening all I noticed on a previous post a reference to Ferritin tests, I dont think I have ever seen this test on my exhaustive list! Is it the same test as checking your HB to see if your anaemic or is it something else (Dr. dreaded Google says) to do with ' a protein in the body that contains iron

Sero Negative Arthritis
Hi There I have recently been told I have arthritis and prescribed Methotrexate. I was just looking at the letter to my doctor and it looks like the diagnosis is "Sero Negative Arthritis" I am confused at this as my initial blood test showed Rheumatoid factor raised. I don't want to take the medication

Health Anxiety
Hi guys I'm new on this forum. I feel like I have to pour my heart out. I'm 29 years old and I've been having health anxiety since my childhood. I managed to take control over it for a long time but the last couple of weeks have been very very bad. It started mid January with the bones in my hands
