Question re calories and LCHF diet
Could someone advise whether one has to count calories on a LCHF diet. Ive lost 4lb since starting this week and don't want to stop the process- have not been counting carbs at all. Have eaten a lot but within an eight hour window. Thanks for advice!

Timelines/ palliative care
Hello, sadly I have just been told there is no more treatment for my mum, the cancer has spread in her shoulder bone, brain, lymph nodes and abdomen. The dr has not given us any timeline, I’m just wondering what happens next? I think the palliative care team take over as contact at the moment I’m not

Dads case, psa climbing on zoladex
Hi everyone This is my first post here. I have found really helpful advice reading this forum. My dad is a 64 year old male from India. Here’s his history: In 2014, my father is having CA prostate. Radical prostatectomy done in June 13 with histopathology of T3 N1 M0 disease (Gleason 4+4, extraprostatic

Think the AF wants to come out and play again!
Fortunately, it only lasted 20 seconds, but could feel it my neck and my heart was flip flopping like crazy and the lady I was talking to at the time recognised something was happening to me as she’s an
Intensive
Care
nurse. I felt this intense hot flash afterwards and had to sit down.

Transplant carried out last night
Sitting in
intensive
care
now and praying 🙏 hard for a good outcome. Dr said if he bleeds again the liver will crash! They have him packed up with swabs and he will need to go to theatre again to get them removed. I’m so grateful to the donor and family for this chance but I’m terrified.

stricture surgery before radiation
I’ll be 70 in a few weeks and was diagnosed with prostate cancer about six weeks ago. My biopsy showed a Gleason 3+4 in right base involving 30% pattern 4 and Gleason 3+4 in right-mid involving 10% pattern 4. My PSA is 17. I’ve gotten two pathology reports and one is from John Hopkins. They were mostly

Sadly, Christmas isn't fun for everyone
What will you be eating this Christmas? Tom's been eating 900 calories a day since his bariatric surgeon gave him an intragastric balloon. Arthur can barely remember a day when he wasn't on some sort of diet. And Lizzie is still the same weight she always was, despite obsessively weighing herself every

Gut affected by Scleroderma
In July, she had renal failure and was admitted to
Intensive
Care
shortly after her first dialysis with all her major organs failing. The condition has affected her guts severely and is unable to drink or eat. She is constantly retching and vomiting bile which is getting worse.

Not sure what to do
I am so unsure what to do.

Back on medication but it seems slow to help me, I feel like I’

Oligometastatic PC and Radiation
Hello all. My 68 year old husband had a routine physical about six months ago that showed a PSA of 77. His PSA had not been tested for seven years prior (which infuriates me). He then had a biopsy that showed Gleason 9 (4+5) prostate cancer. Twelve samples were taken; only one sample was benign. Two

My Final Lupron Injection
After tolerating 44 IMRT treaments and 21 months of ADT pretty well, I am glad to report that my eighth and final three-month Lupron injection was yesterday. My PSA is still undetectable. Admittedly the ADT has taken a it's toll, leaving me somewhat flabby and tired, although I managed to stay very active

Heart problems & a way to detect them early
You used to & often still do have to have such tests in

or coronary care through invasive procedures.

Has it been enough years...
...to compare the cure efficacy of SBRT to IMRT over ten years? Does SBRT have a lower incidence of salvage radiation?

After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of

Your energy-efficient washing machine could be harboring pathogens.
The pathogens, a single clone of Klebsiella oxytoca, were transmitted repeatedly to newborns in a neonatal
intensive
care
unit at a German children's hospital. The transmission was stopped only when the washing machine was removed from the hospital.

Hallelujah!!!
Good evening everyone Thank you for all your recent kind words and support. Had the palliative care team go in today and see my dad and they are getting him into a nursing home in the next two days. All the weeks of stressing and me having a nervous breakdown they finally listened. Palliative nurse said
