What s happening in our NHS ?- All the shortages.
Two examples - I take Amiodarone for AF and other fast heart beats, I have had to have my prescription sent to another village, and they are running short. Glandosane synthetic saliva spray - Dry mouth is dross to put it mildly. no pharmacy near where I live has any. Not just the the BCG treatment

Culture & Sensitivity
These are medical tests which look for bacteria, viruses or fungi. They can be ordered for body fluids such as urine, blood or stools. Some of us with P.A. or B12 deficiency might have H.pylori or overgrowth of microorganisms in the small intestine. I had a stool test and gut microbiome tests. The microbiome

NHS shingles vaccine will be offered to almost one million more people
I’m not sure whether this has been mentioned already (I did check) but as I just found this recently elsewhere thought it might be of interest to those of us who have not been eligible for the vaccine yet. https://www.england.nhs.uk/2023/07/nhs-shingles-vaccine-will-be-offered-to-almost-one-million-more-people

A Bladder Cancer Update.
I got a telephone call early this morning, I was still in bed. Was a woman offering me a place in a Private Hospital for A 'FLEXY CYSTOSCOPY' Good news but the hospital was miles away in Preston, in fact the other side. So I asked her could I not get in at my local hospital - She then started talking

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

Update on shingles vaccine
I said I would let you know how I went on with the shingles vaccine. I had the vaccine two weeks ago tomorrow. I had a lovely nurse who was very friendly so I felt I could chat to her. I wanted to confirm that I was having the non live vaccine and she said yes, I'll go and get it out of the fridge. When

Shingles vaccination and PCa progression?
Hi everyone, I am planning to get Shingles vaccine, but afraid from the consequences. Gleason score 9 (4+5) Radical Prostatectomy 2017 > BCR 2019 SRT 8 weeks + Firmagon 6 injections (over 6 months). G 9 recurrence is inevitable (as we all know) so I am scared to take the Shingles vaccine. Any one

Measles resurgence: Is it a cause for concern?
Recent headlines have highlighted concerns of a resurgence in measles cases across the UK and especially in London.

Shingrix vaccine
I am on Ibrance and letrozole, my primary has suggested I get the shingles (shingrix) vaccine. I will be speaking to my oncologist later this week. In the mean time I wondered if any of you ladies have had the vaccine, and did you have side effects. Years ago my husband had shingles vaccine & ended up
