Open heart surgery
I had my first meeting with the surgical team at Papworth yesterday . I’m now pencilled in for an aortic valve replacement in June. We discussed my AF , the effects of surgery on episodes after and anticoagulants . Interestingly they stated that oral anticoagulants reduce the risk of stroke by 60/70%

Possible Drug Induced Lupus and Thyroid meds ?
Thanks in advance to anyone who responds. I have been battling a horrible rash around the entire side of my body (itchy, painful ribs, blistering like bumps, and once it clears my skin looks bruised) rash has lingered now for 7 weeks …. First rash happened a couple of yrs ago and lasted only 3 weeks

Endo/cyst on the kidney after MRI - could this happen to you?
Hi ladies! The results came in for the first MRI (still waiting for the results of the second MRI). A cyst was spotted on one of my kidneys and the blood test indicated issues with my kidneys. I know this might indicate deep infiltrating endometriosis on the kidney/ureter or... I know that endo can lead

Brain metastasis
New (Portuguese) anecdotal case study below. [1] When I began reading PCa studies on PubMed, I saw a lot of cell studies that used LNCaP (from a lymph PCa cell), PC3 (from a bone PCa cell) &/or DU145 (supposedly a brain met cell, but now described as "derived from a central nervous system metastasis

Interesting to know...
If you had the idea that AF is reserved for us, humans, you were wrong. It is kinda catching, lol, so our pets can also have AF problems. Here a passage from an article, talking about AF in cats and dogs and the interdependence of heart size and the probability to have AF (allegedly, larger hearts (sportsmen

AUA 2023: PSA Response and Time-to-Castration Resistance Among Patients with mCSPCa Initiated on Apalutamide, Enzalutamide, or Abiraterone
The objective of this study was to describe a “real-world” experience of mCSPC patients treated with apalutamide, enzalutamide, and abiraterone acetate, with a focus on PSA response and development of castration resistance outcomes. This study identified patients with mCSPC newly initiated on apalutamide

Cortisol/DHEA results
Hi I recently had a Regenerus test, due to my frequent adrenaline surges, and just feeling generally awful. To be honest, I thought the results were going to say my cortisol was high, but I think the results suggest the opposite? Could anyone take a look and let me know? Cortisol AM30 24 nmol

AMIODARONE SCARE
Hello everyone; If anyone recalls, about a little over a month ago I was told I had minimal lung fibrosis as an x-ray revealed it that was related to amiodarone. Well after a ct-scan looking specifically for fibrosis I am ecstatic to say the findings came back NEGATIVE, none whatsoever. During that time

What’s an acceptable rate?
so I’m back in afib, doctor sent me home with 2.5mg of bisoprolol and also blood thinners. At moment my heart rate when not doing a lot (sitting down watching tv) is around 90-100bpm. Sometimes In the 70s and 80s and even lower 60s and possible 50s when asleep! So basically I’d say my base rate is

Cardioversion/Ep study
I recently had an Ep study to determine whether I had SVT or Afib., even though I had been diagnosed in 2021 with Paroxysmal Afib. The cardiologist said it was a long shot but if it was SVT he would ablate it. Unfortunately throughout the procedure my heart went into Afib and they had to cardiovert

Rapidly Rising PSA
As some of you know, I am now under the care of two excellent oncologists, including Prof. De Bono at Royal Marsden Cancer Centre. I was originally deemed to have a non-aggressive cancer (in 14 years my PSA has never exceeded 4.1) However, over the last 6 weeks (when I have been on no treatment whatsoever

PSA drop after ADT
My PSA went from 14.9 ug/l in May to 5.9 ug/l in June to 0.24 ug/l when tested 2 days ago after Lupron injection 3 months ago. Naturally I'm very relieved over the drop.My oncologist has pretty much left the decision to me on the ADT duration. I had earlier voiced my reservation about ADT on account
