Heart bypass or stens
Hi all I have been diagnosed with blockages to 3 arteries and the consultant has given me the option of a bypass or stens. Almost a 50:50. I am unsure which to take and was wondering if anyone had been in the same boat and had any advice. Which you chose and why ?

Reference Library of Papers about Dutasteride for Treating Prostate Cancer
Here is a library of 20 papers about using Dutasteride to treat prostate cancer. In one study, Dutasteride monotherapy reduces PSA by 50%, reduces prostate volume by 25%, and reduces tumor volume by 30%, after 6 months of treatment, compared to placebo (Moore, 2017). https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

Recommendation for gloves and socks?
Hi Guys, Further to my Post on the Lupus forum (link below) can I ask for recommendations for suitable super warm gloves and socks please? I spent a fortune on some silver lined socks and gloves and found them to be absolutely useless. My M&S bought socks are better than the extortionate silver lined

Diabetes drug similar to Ozempic helped slow progression of Parkinsonās disease in small trial

starting statins and blood thinners
I just found out that I had a silent stroke in the past according to a recent MRA. I am starting a med that keeps platelets from sticking together and a statin. I am scared to death of the side effects. Any advice?

Stage 4 fibrosis of the Liver
I contracted Hepatitis A in 2020, undiagnosed for 2 months. Six months later I was told I had NALD and last year I was sent for ultrasound scans and blood tests to check for cancer. In March this year, I was told I had Stage 4 Fibrosis of the liver. Does anyone know if this can be reversed, any treatments
