Head injury after attempted suicide
Hi all My husband is in
intensive
care
after attempted suicide. He has serious frontal lobe injuries after landing on his head from over 30m I am finding it hard to plan for the unknown. Not knowing what will lie ahead in his health in future.

Be Encouraged
I’m writing to encourage anyone losing hope. As I write this, my dad has been hospitalized for 25 days, but he’s on the road to recovery from Legionnaire’s disease (legionella pneumonia). He had most of the pneumonia fatality factors - compromised immune system, over 50 yrs old, diabetic, transplant

TUMOUR HCC (cancer) No transplant. No treatment. I can’t accept this.
Hi everyone. Sorry I’m kind of posting about the same thing but I really need some help/advice. Mum had her follow-up cat scan yesterday and her tumour has grown to 7 cm and there are possibly one or two more. Her doctor is adamant she is not eligible for transplant. Her doctor doesn’t want to do any

LIVER CANCER
Good Morning, so it turns out that my dads cirrhosis has turned into liver Cancer-widespread. Only palliative care can be arranged now. I feel like my world is falling apart around me and i cant stop it. My Mam died from Breast cancer that had spread to her liver. I don't think i can watch this again

So I’m doing this.....
This morning. It’s the marathon in Belfast today & I’m doing the 4.5 mile leg of the relay and I’ll be honest I’m nervous. I’m determined to run as much as possible as all the funds are going to the palliative care unit that took care of my big sister who passed away last August at only 45 years old

Completed Salvage Treatment
Now we wait and see. Last shot of Firmagon went in on Monday (total of 7 treatments) along with 40 IMRT sessions to the prostate bed. Hoping for a lengthy remission, but only time will tell. Overall the side effects were OK, dealing with some proctitis that kicked in at week 7 and is continuing 3 weeks

I have ataxia symptoms as well after a series of seizures left me in
intensive
care
for four days in December 2013. Having received the R1 form, and having studied it carefully, I'm not sure what to do next as it doesn't actually tell you anywhere.

Would you believe it?
My wife is in
intensive
care
here in France. If she had to wait the three hours for an ambulance I had to wait last time one was called to our house in Wales, she would be in the morgue. When is the NHS going to be removed from direct government control?

An intro to LCHF
“For every expert, there is an equal and opposite expert”. -Clarke’s Fourth Law The low-carb high-fat diet has been around for at least 100 years, and it does what it says on the tin: it helps you maintain a healthy weight, it reduces your risk of heart disease and diabetes, and it can often fix niggling

MY SISTER’S SYAGE 4 NCLC - UPDATE
Hello group! My sister’s liver enzymes were very high and they stopped her targeted therapy for now. We have an appointment with the oncologist on Thursday and one with palliative care on Friday. Is this normal to have a drop in your enzymes? She’s 85 years old and I think her age is not helping

Latest blood report.
Hi all, I got my blood investigations done and report came yesterday. My Hba1c is 5.9 now!. From 16.4 in Jan'17 to 5.9 in jun'18 has been a long but interesting journey of trial and errors. I'm on LCHF diet and my total cholesterol also improved. Now it is 152. Food is the new medicine!😊
