Palliative Care: Evidence base and dose
Here is a brief article looking at some of the evidence-based practices that comprise Palliative Care since this adjunct to direct care has been brought up on several posts lately. Thought I'd share the link: https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/887834#vp_1 Missy

Should I Pay for Enzalutamide
I started ADT in May (my PSA had risen to 7.5 after IMRT in 2016). Unfortunately I am in the small group of me who have 'primary ADT resistance' and my PSA is now 21 after 6 months of ADT. Not a good look! I am seeing MO next week, chemo is likely. In the meantime, urologist has added Casodex to my

This disease is so cruel
Hi everyone, I haven't written on here for some time as I have struggled to care for my husband. Les is now receiving palliative care in hospital after yet another serious bout of pneumonia. He was in a care home since August 2016 and they know nothing of PSP. PSP is so cruel and it is now taking my

LCHF and protein drinks?
Are they compatible? I am not planning using the drinks for sports or body-building but simply as a convenient source of protein while trying to get into a fuller LCHF diet. Except eggs, fish and occasionally bacon I am averse to other non-veg stuff, including chicken.

I knew when I was laying in

nearly 10 months ago confused, hurting, not sure what the future would hold that I needed to get better and strong enough to give something back to my amazing hospital that saved my life.

Another Hurdle to Get Over
Tomorrow, B. leaves the Palliative Care Unit at the hospital and goes into a nursing home. It is nearer home and seems to be very nice. I took my sister in law, who used to be a care home inspector, with me when I visited it. She thought it was OK. I feel awful that B . is not coming home, but he needs

Risky side effects of Benepali?
Hi all. I was diagnosed with RA last January, with my hands and wrists being badly affected. I have had to take early retirement from work ( I was a nurse), as my hands and fingers just don't work well enough any more. I am, therefore, going through the horrors of being treated like some sort of fraud

Psych ward/inpatient, best help I've had & gave me hope
If you ever feel like you need more
intensive
care
or feel unsafe/suicidal do NOT feel ashamed of going to a hospital or crisis center. I got amazing help and met amazing staff and patients during my stay at the hospital.

Heart rate spiking?
It happened when we were on holiday in Spain, so I had 5 days in
intensive
care
and an angioplasty and came home (eventually) with 2 stents as my holiday souvenirs! I am now on the usual cocktail of drugs - just come off Tricaglor, and taking aspirin, Bisoprolol 5mg, Losartin and Atorvostatin.

Palliative Care, (Continued).
CHC does not seem to exist in Sheffield. Apparently, according to two consultants from different hospitals, the most we are likely to get is what has been promised. That is four short, calls to provide B. with peg feeding and medication. Meanwhile, he is still in P.C. and the consultant feels that as
