GP support ?!!?
A few days ago I had a text from my GP surgery outlining everything you would wish to know about their service including a profile of all the eight GPs in the practice with their qualifications and special interests. Interestingly their interests ranged from cardiovascular, mental health, to gynaecology

I have been in
Intensive
Care
Unit for 4 weeks with pneumonia in both lungs and also a virus. I am much improved and although very weak, I am hoping to be home in the next couple of days. It's going to be a slow recovery but I will be back with you in the next week or two.

Does anyone else have a fave song for helping with the stress of having advanced PCa?
Dx in early 2022. A lot of tension and stress built as treatment escalated -- from Firmagon through radiation and since then abi+lupron. Especially during daily RT sessions with the big honking IMRT machine rotating around me. Tension exacerbated by knowing that PSMA-CT scan spine spots (3) were

Update on hubby Nov 2022
Hubby saw Hepatology Registrar yesterday. We have some great news to share. Hubbys liver is no longer Decompensated, it is now compensated 🎉 so he has gone from stage 4 ARLD to stage 3 ARLD 🎉. The hepatic encephalopathy systems have gone, so he is no longer on that medication. The Ascites & Odeoma

Mr. Spouse 21 is on rewind: Stable again!
The prompt says: "Tell Your Story." Well, it's my husband's story almost identical to 5 months ago, 3 months before that, and multiple months before that, so I'm repeating the posting from 5 months ago below. He's stable again with nearly identical numbers. ALP 38, PSA 0.10. He was a Gleason 9 now in

Is weight loss always ominous?
Sorry I just worry as it was a sign my mother was rapidly declining with cancer.... Basically my brother is paralysed. He has severe heart failure with an efr of about 20-25% though believed to be at the lower end. The medication he was on for his heart has been stopped and he has been put onto palliative

ED Results after 20 IMRT Treatments ?????
I am g7 (4-3). 68 psa 8.
I just finished 20 IMRT treatments at UCLA .
Please advise me again the ED side effects with radiation and timelines.
I remember from my research that with radiation you should have the same baseline "good" erections for the first 2 -3 years.

Pattern Tertiary 5 PC
Does anyone have Pattern Tertiary 5 PC? What have been your experiences with it? My 50 year old son was recently diagnosed with 4+3=7 tertiary pattern 5. From what I’ve read it’s more difficult than just 4+3 = 7. I would appreciate any feedback you can give me as he’s only about seven months into

Dr recommends Brothers heart failure medicine be withdrawn and he be put on palliative care. Brother refusing.
Brother is paralysed and also has underlying conditions.He was recently diagnosed with severe heart failure. His left ventricle is damaged and he has an EFR of between 20 and 25 percent, though likely at the lower end of that. He has been discharged into his nursing home with a Referral to the heart
