Medicinal cannabis
I’ve been told by my GP that he can no longer prescribe Fentanyl lozenges for my breakthrough pain. I’ve always known they are palliative care drugs. They worked for me. Now I’m stressed about how I’ll cope when my last two are gone. Has anyone else had medicinal cannabis prescribed? If so did it work

Radiation dilemma! IMRT vs Proton
Hi, I have another radiation question if anyone has any opinions or help that would be greatly appreciated! The mapping is complete now for my dad and the tumor next to his heart causing the SVC syndrome. The verdict came back that on paper it shows IMRT would be slightly less radiation to the heart

Sudden cardiac arrest at 30
I was in
intensive
care
for 9 days but woke up on day 4. I spent 5 weeks in hospital and had an ICD fitted. I have been home nearly 3 weeks and trying to adjust to how life is now. I would really like to hear from and chat to other people. I am waiting for neurological and cardiac rehab to start.

My journey to recovery
This is a very long piece about my experience. It has a good ending. This goes back a few years I was feeling tired and extremely fatigued and had done so for some 6 months. Simple tasks like loading a tumble dryer meant I had to go to bed. I went to my GP and saw a locum. She ordered a full range

You are a blessing to me!
As my symptoms change/increase (I have PSP-cerebellar ataxia with dementia, or so I’ve been told by a neurologist and a neuro/psych specialist) I have started to check into this site more and more for information. It has helped me stay ahead of the “game” as no one in my family talks to me about this

My own personal thoughts are leading me to the idea that, as, I believe, there is some documentation that highlights that all patients [or most] in
intensive
care
, have low t3 levels. We know T3 is needed by every cell.

Palliative Care
Nothing more to do palliative care it is just trying to live my best life possible. So I went to immeadiate care cause I felt I needed antibiotics and I got them and prednisone but also chest X-ray. Chest X-ray showed an area that could possibly be a cancer but I would be unable to with stand surgery

COPD/Carbon monoxide
I was in
intensive
care
for nearly two weeks and had a 10% chance of living (found that out many years later) I had been sleeping in a room with a gas boiler in the cupboard with no outside vent.

IC???
I keep thinking “
intensive
care
” care in my head when I read it but that seems a bit extreme for resting up after tweaking something! It’s been niggling me for a while so just thought I would ask- thanks. I know some kind person on here will enlighten my ignorance!

Proton therapy
With the help of several people on here (you all are great!!) I urged my dad to push for proton therapy over the IMRT that was suggested for chest tumor. We did last week and tomorrow he is set to begin mapping for proton therapy to the chest tumor (4.9 cm) by his heart! I anticipated this would move

Metastatic Lymph Node, Recurrent PCa
Recently did the 18F PSMA1 007 PET/CT scan as result of rising PSA after prostatectomy in April 2016. PSA at 0.91 now and doubling every 5 months. Scan showed one small 4 mm avid right internal iliac lymph node that favors metastatic. Consultations with 3 urologists, 3 radiation oncologists all have
