Advice on Vitamin D, K2 and Folate
Hi Everyone I have recently had a range of blood tests done, unfortunately I don’t seem to have any results for thyroid which they were supposed to do. My GP has asked me to make an appointment to speak to her, so I’ll ask why I haven’t got any results for thyroid and whether the test was done.

Moving Forward - Endometrial Biopsy & Liver Function Tests
Hi, hope everyone is well. So, after speaking with a new clinic they have proposed some more tests, endometrial biopsy and liver function test. I've already had extended panel for immunology bloods done back in Oct. Can anyone share their experience of these tests/ results? Thanks

Heterogeneous Metastases?
I was first diagnosed Stage3 in Aug. 2014, ER+PR+Her2-. Found metastases in bones and lymph nodes in Dec. 2023, bioposied one node, same biomarkers. I was put on Tamoxifen which shrank many lesions, except for one. After that, I went through Tamoxifen, Letrozole + Kisqali, Faslodex + Kisqali, have scan

Atelectasis?
I have seen several people refer to this here, but didn't know what it was. My PET/CT scan on Friday showed some mildly alarming things -- bone met in spine is shrinking, but a bunch of subcentimeter but metabolically active lymph nodes around the lungs (hila, paratrachea, mediastinal-pleural). Not

I am lost, should I seek a second opinion?
hi, this will be a bit of a long one sorry. I am really confused and don’t know whether to accept my gps answer or go private for a second opinion. My issues started more noticeably in October last year when I started heavily bleeding and having long periods and very short periods of time of not bleeding

Reaction to Taxol (Paclitaxel) and alternatives?
Hi- I was diagnosed with primary peritoneal cancer in Jan 2024. I had my first chemo last week and reacted to the taxol (paclitaxel) so could only receive bev and carboplatin. I will be switched to taxotere for my next treatment. Wondering if anyone else has had a reaction to taxol and then received

Ranolazine (used for angina) could potentially be repurposed for PCa. Only mouse studies so far.

Confused about relatives diagnosis and treatment for colon cancer
Grandad is 87, diagnosed with colon cancer at the beginning of the year. Only symptom was rapidly decreasing iron in blood.They said he had stage T4 and that they were going to do an operation to remove the cancer. They did just that last week. Doctors said they had removed the cancer and he was released

High risk vs. aggressive cancer
I understand the definition of high-risk prostate cancer (Gleason, PSA and/or spread), but that doesn't necessarily seem to be the same thing as aggressive cancer. How can aggressiveness be determined for high risk, localized cancer? Thanks for any insight and information.

Is serum folate levels the level of b12?
I received this as a blood result 3 weeks after receiving my b12 injection but I am confused. Does this tell me the level of b12 in my blood or folate? There are no other test results that refer to b12. I am currently suffering very badly with the symptoms of low b12 despite having my 3 monthly injections

Best diet and supplementation guide for hypothyroidism?
Is there a really simple list of vitamins (and best times of day to take them) and a list of foods to avoid when starting out of levothyroxine? I have such brain fog that I'm struggling to compile a plan for myself. I really need to lose the weight I've recently piled on too. Also I have ADHD so I struggle

Anyone? 😁
LOL I’m popping on here, again, for your honest opinion and advice. I have been OFF all forms of treatment since the beginning of January (when I was told there was evidence that Ibrance and Anastrazole were failing). A brief stint with Xeloda (for 6 days...6 days of pure torture)…and to tell you

Don't know where to start
After 4 years I still don't really know what I have.Initially diagnosed with Undifferentiated Inflammatory Arthritis, then discovered by accident that it had changed to Connective Tissue Disease and Lupus. I also discovered only yesterday that at some point I tested positive for ANA which I've never
