Hi My partner has cirrhosis and a spot on the liver which is monitored every 6 months. Following an ultrasound, more spots have now been identified and is going for an MRI and blood tests soon. I am very worried and was wondering if anyone has had a similar situation and does this always result in a

I do now feel like a fraud being here 😔 and my apologies to anybody here who feels I’ve created a storm in a teacup for myself and that I should clear the cyber waves for genuine issues. But in fairness to myself my GPs have been expressing serious concerns to me, I feel suggesting that I’m bound to

hi I had a afib attack 3 weeks ago and was admitted for cardio version. 2 days after I felt worse, heart rate was normal but experienced numbness on left side, dizzy and nausea. Was admitted to the icu for surveillance as they thought I had a stroke. Luckily it wasn’t but the neurologist said sometimes

I have a question for tamoxifen users. Not a big deal but I am curious. I am 76 and have been on tamoxifen for a year and a half. I have gray hair - quite long. The hair is thinning but my curiosity is about my hair darkening. It is turning a dark brunette. Just seems kind of weird. Anyone else had that

I had my second child in August 2022 and to be honest I've not felt right since. Since going back to work in June last year I've been permanently exhausted but it's just got worse and worse.

I'd summitted it three times over the previous two years but I'd always driven to the trailhead

Greetings from Inverness in the beautiful Highlands of Scotland! I would like to share my journey with you and hopefully get some advice on future treatments. In December 2022 following diagnoses of advanced prostate cancer with multiple bone metastasis I started zytiga + prednisone and 6 monthly triptorelin

Last week I went to the ER with chest pains, on recommendation of my oncologist’s office. I’m on doublet therapy (Orgovyx and Abiraterone/Prednisone), and the drug info said to contact a doctor in case of chest pains. Of course, by the time I got in there I was feeling better, but they did a EKG and

I’m 70 with heart disease that I am being treated for. No heart attacks. Is the C25K plan available in a modified program for people like me or is the regular plan ok?

My father is in hospital with severe cirrhosis. He has been drinking a litre of vodka a day for 2 years. It sounds silly but none of us knew about it. He never seemed drunk. We are beating ourselves up wishing we could have intervened sooner. We phoned his DR after finding the empty bottles and he was

Hi I've had my report through the post of my recent phone appointment and, as I suspected after the conversation ended ,I have been discharged from Proff Osmans clinic. Thinking about it,I'm concerned. I have had an AF event on 6/6/24 and another 30/7/24 which I was able to eventually stop with an extra

While I don't have any symptoms (yet), a CT scan and ultrasound tests show that the lower part of my right ureter tube is very narrow and causing the kidney to swell, apparently from restricted flow of urine through the ureter. My University of Chicago Medicine urologist suspects scarring in the ureter

Ten years ago I had my Gleason 9 prostate removed. PSA was .1 for a while. It crept up over .2, and I began taking lupron. The drug brought PSA back down to >.01 for a year or so. As the level started going up again, I received whole pelvis bed radiation, moving PSA to undetectable. After a year or so

Last Thursday was a horrible day. I had a message left on my answerphone from my older sister, who has slight learning difficulties. She said, "Jean I have a pain in my chest and feel terrible", then she was in tears. I immediately called her back and asked which side the pain was, it was her left. Asked
