BC Update with GP.
First I rang Macmillan and they thought it very odd my cancer had gone from high to low. So rang my consultants secretary and she was not there, the people in charge said they were not qualified to help. I saw my GP today and like myself had a letter with no details at the top, this matters because

any secondary cancers after thyroidectomy?
I’m just wondering if anyone has been diagnosed with a secondary cancer - particularly renal or bladder - after having thyroid cancer. I have read the chances are raised but I can’t find out by how much. I’m currently undergoing investigation. thank you x

GP cancelled my free prescriptions as doesn't classify ET as a blood cancer, and even if it was, I'm not recieving ongoing treatment!?
Well Folks, I've got a personal battle to fight with my GP.... Having recently recieved a letter from the NHS Business Services Authority informing me that my NHS Medical exemption certificate is about to expire - the one I was allocated when originally diagnosed with ET - the letter requested that

Not about advanced PCa, but might be useful: curcumin and BPH
The nano-micellar curcumin improves International Prostate Symptoms Score (IPSS) in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia: a randomized clinical trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37458774/

Is Ozone Therapy effective?
I have a close friend who I respect her opinion and she insists that Ozone Therapy would help fight cancer. What say the great minds here?

Best friend has cancer
My best friend has stage 4 colon cancer, and we are on opposite sides of the country. I'm so worried for him and upset, and the oncologist says he can't have chemo until he heals from his recent surgeries. I'm almost completely gutted with concern for my friend. Any support or insight would be appreciated

Oesophageal Sphincter
Hello. My wife had gastro-oesophageal cancer 12 years ago and had surgery to remove the cancer. Thankfully all was successful and she leads a very normal life. As one knows, post surgery one cannot lie down flat as the oesophageal sphincter has been removed thus causing acid to come up from the stomach

Not about PCa, but worth checking...CRISPR in oncology phase 1-2

Good news
Hello ladies, My mother was diagnosed with OC stage 4a in December 2019 ( her story is in my bio.) After a debulking surgery, pleural infusion drainage, and chemo, she started taking Olaparib and the disease has been stable since. I just wanted to share the good news with you, as she had a PET scan

TAPUR study
Following up on a genomics report (47 pages ! Plus 54 min consult) and came across this study (phase 2 basket trial) in the US. Essentially when exhausting, or before, standard of care options, allows patients to trial off label approved drugs using genomics to identify specific targetable variations

Confused about relatives diagnosis and treatment for colon cancer
Grandad is 87, diagnosed with colon cancer at the beginning of the year. Only symptom was rapidly decreasing iron in blood.They said he had stage T4 and that they were going to do an operation to remove the cancer. They did just that last week. Doctors said they had removed the cancer and he was released

Is serum folate levels the level of b12?
I received this as a blood result 3 weeks after receiving my b12 injection but I am confused. Does this tell me the level of b12 in my blood or folate? There are no other test results that refer to b12. I am currently suffering very badly with the symptoms of low b12 despite having my 3 monthly injections

Best diet and supplementation guide for hypothyroidism?
Is there a really simple list of vitamins (and best times of day to take them) and a list of foods to avoid when starting out of levothyroxine? I have such brain fog that I'm struggling to compile a plan for myself. I really need to lose the weight I've recently piled on too. Also I have ADHD so I struggle

stomach bloating
I have pain starting from stomach then it seems to travel down to lower abdomen. I am very bloated, only burping or passing wind, my pain can be released a bit. The bloating is so bad, I couldn’t even breathe. I am wondering if anyone who have similar symptoms and how to relief such painful bloating.
