What’s the protocol for GP actioning full iron panel?
It’s become apparent that my daughter’s ferritin levels are deficient and she’s going to put in a request to her GP for a full iron panel. I routinely read here that one shouldn’t supplement with iron based on a low ferritin reading alone but I’d like to know what the supporting information for this

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

Feeling a bit nervous. What next?
Dear ladies, advice sought Am stage 4a and have had debulking surgery and chemo. Took Niraparib for a year but it stopped working and I had spread to my liver. I finished 6 rounds of chemo late Oct and had bloods and a CT scan. Chemo has shrunk the cancer in my liver so that was good news. My oncologist

Next steps after radiotherapy
Hi, In Oct 2023, My dad's MRI revealed that cancer had spread to few vertebral bones and has reached a rib bone. He got a PET scan and then underwent ~20 days of radiotherapy in Nov 2023. But his doctor has not asked him to do any follow-up tests after the radiotherapy ended. Is this the norm? Should

Active B12 levels
I read that : The normal range for active vitamin B12 (holoTC) is around 20 – 134 pmol/L (picomoles per My recent blood test states my active B12 level is 83.2pmol/L but states this is optimal. (medichecks) Do I need to supplement this?

SE's on Cabazitaxel/Carboplatin Combo
Fellow chemo warriors: I'm hoping your experiences can shed some light on my latest treatment variation. Long story short: I had 3 docetaxel infusions with zero side effects. Unfortunately, the response was only partial, so last week I started on Cab/Carboplatin combo. This has been a very different

PMR again ?
I stopped pred on 8th October after 4 years and was OK until now. I have developed stiffness and aching in hips down to knees and am wondering whether the PMR has come again due to stress. I was diagnosed with breast cancer on 11th October and am currently on Letrozole to (hopefully !) shrink the tumour

Road blocks
Hi all,I thought I'd update you all. I went into hospital in the 20/02 to have my second last chemo before the BMT. Upon admission, I had a fever. After 4 days of fevers and a rash from head to toe, the doctors elected to postpone the BMT. So now the search is on to find out what drugs didn't agree

Prostatic Artery Embolization
I’m 67 year old and have been suffering with BPH for years. Don’t want to do TURP or lasers. I’m interested in doing PAE. Has anyone had this procedure done. Does it work. I had a cystoscope and the urologist found a medial lobe at the neck of the bladder. Would PAE work if the blockage is located there

anyone else feel wierd after discontinuing Piqray / Faslodex?
Hi all, my docs took me off Piqray and Faslodex a week ago. Since then I’ve had worse night sweats and diarrhea then when I was on the drugs! Plus a lingering headache and overall yucky feeling. I assumed it would resolve after a couple days but it’s been a full week. Has anyone else experienced that

Reacting to piqray.
Don’t want to worry anyone, but just wanting to know if anyone has had this reaction to Piqray. I’m into my second week. On Piqray and Fulvestrant. At first I thought it was only my bottom, (left side) near site of injection, that was itchy. Then I started feeling a prickly feeling all over my body.

Indigestion Medications
Hi All Can anyone recommend an effective indigestion tablet/liquid that is gluten free. I tried gaviscon advance recently which worked so well but then I reacted as if I’d eaten gluten, it is listed as gluten free so must have been another ingredient that I’m sensitive to, but don’t want to try it

COLONOSCOPY AND GASTROSCOPY TOMORROW
Hi everyone, having my first colonoscopy and gastroscopy tomorrow, to say I am stressed is an understatement, keep imagining all sorts of things, any advice on how to handle the anxiety would be greatly appreciated.
