Palliative Care
Has anyone experienced palliative care. I think I need help with cognition, my extreme debilitating side-effects (musculoskeletal) if I/F combo (which is worse on week off Ibrance), maybe anxiety & insomnia & some social anxiety issues I’m having due to loss of cognition. I am also having a brain

So he was in

of the doctors and was hospitalised for 1 month. Then he recovered his swollen body and the pleural effusion reduced and scrotum became well. But recent ultrasonogram showed 2 SOL in liver. His CA 19.9 is below 40 and CEA is below 4.

Hello to all from someone with RP, ADT, and IMRT
I just wanted to introduce myself. I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in February of 2016 when my PSA rose to 10.6. I was GS 7 (4+3) and aggressive treatment was recommended. I chose RP and had surgery in April '16. The pathology report showed an extra-prostatic extension, but negative margins

Lost my mom to MSA
Hello everyone A month ago I lost my mom (55) to MSA. She had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2014 and was later diagnosed with MSA. Well, at least that's what they think. We still aren't 100 % sure. It has been a rough couple of years, watching her getting worse and worse. It started with

It's never too late
Smoking was killing me, and on top of that I was paying a fortune to have a slow suicide, well thank God I was able to stop 12 years ago. Since then my life changed so much, I did put extra weight on but more about that later. Before I stopped smoking I was smoking 180 cigarettes a week, which I couldn't

A week after CABGX3
Finally out the other side of op, cannot remember much of
intensive
care
was only there overnight then moved straight to E Ward so no high dependency ward, I had to remove jacket/Brace as I was so hot and kept slipping up to my throat, stockings off I said I would have clotting injection instead.

Here we go again.
I woke up in
Intensive
Care
, it was a different day. For 7 to 8 hours they'd been cutting bits away. Most of my oesophagus, some stomach and some glands, What's left joined back together by the surgeon's skillful hands.

Sidewhacked by Richter’s transformation twice: epilogue
About 5 short weeks ago I posted about my hubby being sidewhacked by RT for the 2nd time. His treatment using R-GDP was deemed best and he received 1 cycle. He had several bouts of confusion subsequently with a bleed in the brain as the likely culprit due to his low platelets. Alas, a head CT scan revealed

Advice/hope needed after fall
She was in
intensive
care
for 1 week then high dependency for nearly 2 weeks. She’s just been moved to a neurological recovery ward, awaiting to see what rehab she’ll need or where she’ll be transferred. She’s awake but very confused. It’s like she has dementia.

My mom is scared because before she already had dyalisis, and she overcame this cancer
intensive

In Hospice as of now.
My second attempt at setting up palliative/hospice care happened yesterday with a visit from the intake nurse from the new agency. She told me when she was still doing field work she had three cases of PSP. She actually knew something about the disease. I felt like this was the place we should be. Someone

Dad is losing his battle.
I’m so scared. Dad is getting palliative care at home. Every day he is deteriorating. New challenges. He’s breathless, low Hb, low platelets, fluids in his pleural cavity, lymph nodes are swollen, oedema, he coughs all the time. I’m besides myself with anxiety. I can’t bear to see him like that. This
