another TURP after radiation?
I just saw the Urologist who performed an emergency TURP on me (prostate irradiated both with IMRT and Brachytherapy)after I was assaulted by a doctor cramming a catheter through my urethra. He is young but very smart. His specialty is robotic surgery. He is confident and I feel that his opinions although

Couple of questions cirrhosis staging and a driving question
He continued to drink for a further year and ended up in
intensive
care
this time with sepsis and other related problems including ascites and HE. She said that this would make it more difficult for him to be on the transplant list as he had not heeded previous warnings.

Hi everyone, im new here and feel a bit out of my depth. I lost my dad last Feb to lung cancer, then packed up smoking, I then had a car accident in July and am now waiting for my Nan to pass away as she is now on palliative care. In a nutshell these last couple of months I’ve been crying at the least

Finger on the pulse
Hello, I’m new to the concept of a LCHF diet. My husband is not a great lover of meat so we tend to eat a lot of fish and veggies. How do pulses fit into the program? We have been eating kidney beans, chickpeas, lentils and haricot beans etc but I’m wondering whether we should? I would appreciate any

Seizures and holding hands.
Hi folks Liz had a seizure of some kind this morning. Brain/dopamine deficiencies come to mind, but I don't know. She was given Medazolan, which controls seizures, relaxes muscles and a lot more. From memory it is a powerful benzodiazepine. Tremendous thing is that it was already in Liz's palliative

New, Exhausted, & Afraid
I have given full permission to the school to allow my child to meet with the school social worker ongoing, and I have begun the process of having him meet with our local area major children's health association for more
intensive
care
and therapy as lower level counseling didn't seem to help.

Role of dietary fibre on LCHF Diet
As followers of LCHF diet, we are sometimes concerned about reduced intake of dietary fibre. We take some supplements also to make-up the shortfall. Here is a presentation on the subject by Dr. Paul Mason, which I think may be of interest to group members following LCHF. https://youtu.be/xqUO4P9ADI0

HER MAJESTY'S DIET
Queen Elizabeth II is going to be 93 next month. Would you like to know one of the secrets of her excellent health and longevity? That is her diet! Her diet can be described broadly as LCHF. It is not by design but by default. In the main meals (Lunch and Dinner) , strictly NO STARCH - no pasta, rice

Post radiation psa levels
Nine months out from IMRT my psa results have dropped quarterly from 3.6 to 2.1 to 1.75 but recently only dropped to 1.68 a tiny amount. Apparently the prostate dying is the cause for the decreasing levels. My question is should I not be taking vitamins etc that protect myself from radiation as these

Breast cancer mets to peritoneal cavity only
Wondering if there is anybody else out there like me? Ascites was my first symptom and the side effects of having ascites. So far it is contained there. Wondering also if anybody has had hipec here in the USA for breast cancer mets to peritoneal cavity? Even if it was considered palliative care. Desperately

LCHF saves the planet
Following on from the posts by Mike and S11m, here's my take on the ecological value of LCHF. While my title might be hyperbole, a low-carb, high-fat diet could dramatically improve end-to-end farming efficiency and make the world a slightly nicer place. Unless the politicians get their teeth into it

To Go Public or Not
In a recent thread, an off-topic conversation started that deserves discussion. Specifically, whether or not I, or you, or anyone else having an unfortunate medical condition, should go public with that information. Let me introduce myself.
