Really good news
I just wanted to share my story in case it helps others. In December last year I had an ultrasound scan and the results were probable cirrhosis, portal vein hypertension and varices. There were also "suspicious lesions". Fast Forward to a biopsy I had last month (following over six months of abstinence

Does this sound right? Any advice appreciated.
My dad, 82 yo male had a previous PSA score that hovered around 3 and then went up to 5. Had MRI/CT which came up clear last year and a prostate biopsy (11 samples, noted prostatitis and BPH) in September last year which was also clear. Took PSA again in December 2023, it jumped to 15. Took PSA in February

Rasagiline and Mucuna together?
My MDS is a huge fan of rasagiline and I’ve taken it for almost 3 years, and want to continue to take Mucuna and carbidopa as needed along with it. I've read that Mucuna should not be taken with rasagiline. Is there any truth to this? I’m not going to stop taking rasagiline, and I’d rather not start

Proton or Photon
Hi all, my wife and I are trying to determine the best choice for my prostate cancer. The biopsy/pet scan showed advanced prostate cancer with spreading to the right seminal vessel and involvement of one lymph node. We have had our first consult, locally, with a radiation (x-ray/photon) Dr. who suggested

Hashimotos blood test results - Iron supplementation advice needed! Thank you

Not posted for a while, hope everyone is managing their lupus symptoms as best they can. I did think that using 50spf sun screen and taking hydroxychloroquine would keep my skin lupus at bay. However, I'm beginning to realise it is not just the sun and artificial light that my skin is sensitive to.

Enlarged liver and spleen
I'm so sorry to bother everyone again, it's just that I have [yet another] question. My liver and spleen are enlarged as a result of my cirrhosis - by not drinking, exercising and eating cleanly, is there any chance of the liver and spleen shrinking back to close to the size they should be? Thank you

Hi Guys, Greetings to all. Just Joined this board. The last PSA test which I did which led to my diagnosis was 21. Bone Mets and Gleason 9. Had a biopsy done 3 weeks ago. Started Oral Orgovyx tablets 2 weeks ago. My question is for how long would a Transrectal prostate biopsy affect

Just saw my first rheumatologist yesterday, very confused by diagnosis?
Can you have negative rheumatoid factor, negative CCP antibodies, no pain, stiffness, swelling or symptoms in the small joints (hands, feet etc) & it still be possible to have rheumatoid arthritis? All of my symptoms for the past 5 and 1/2 months seem to be classical PMR (before I started taking prednisone

I do hope that I’ll be able to help others on this forum, even just with a few encouraging words. As a new member I do feel it’s welcoming and supportive. I was diagnosed with Ascites in Feb this year. The doctor sent me home with lactose (just explaining was for constipation) and an appointment was

Can medication elevate the PSA?
My PSA at time of the cancer diagnosis was 5.56. Being in the hospital right now with several meds surging through me, the PSA is at 348.00. Is this a normal reaction?

recently diagnosed with overactive thyroid
hi Forgot to mention… I’ve been taking multivitamins which obviously contain iodine, as I’ve just been diagnosed with overactive thyroid should I stop taking them?? Not yet on medication I'm currently waiting for carbimazole prescription.

I was diagnosed with decompensated liver cirrhosis a few months ago. I came out of hospital about a month ago, from Ascites, jaundice and pneumonia. I am extremely upset by this and very scared. I have completely stopped drinking since my time in hospital. I could barely walk after leaving hospital

Autoimmune neurological B12 deficiency
I came across this fascinating study on an autoimmune condition that results in B12 deficiency selectively in the central nervous system. Cerebrospinal fluid B12 is essentially non-existent but serum levels are normal, making this very hard to detect! https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.08.21.23294253v1
