Medicare Denial of PSa Test
Imagine my surprise when a recent Medicare statement showed they denied coverage for a PSa test, stating that it hadn't been a year since the last one. I've never seen this before., And I didn't pay since it was a denied coverage, Quest had to eat the cost - it's as if Quest did something wrong. I

I have had long covid for over 2 years. In March I had my 3rd bout. My gp sent me for routine bloods. My GGT was 3x the upper range and ALP raised too. Liver ultrasound was clear and over next 3 months GGT improved a little but nowhere near to normal. Recently breathing worsening among many other

Light & Sound reduce Amyloid Plaques
The pulses of light and sound, delivered at a frequency of 40 per second, or 40 hertz, jumpstarted the mice’s neurons to fire electrical signals in time with the pulses—and subsequently reduced the number of amyloid plaques and tau protein tangles in their brains, two hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease

Kidney Cysts?
I’m so pleased I went to Guys for referral. Not only did they spot low iron, which despite having three monthly bloods my local Haematology dept failed to spot, also Guys asked for an ultra sound on my Abdomen. The results came back today indicating that I had a cyst on my Kidney, and that it was not

Provenge for Hormone Sensitive Men

Best Place to Get Solid or Liquid Tumor Genetic Testing for Prostate Cancer
I saw the post with this heading but it’s 7 years old. I’d ideally like testing done on my husbands prostate after it’s removed. his 23& me test years ago says he does not have either of the BRCA genes, but there are many more I’m sorry if this has been already handled.

Interpreting my Saliva Cortisol results
Hi all, I recently posted to the group about some unpleasant anxiety issues I have been experiencing, which I now think is due to my previously very low Vitamin D levels (18.7 in Oct 2021, 35.5 in Jul 2024, and 60.4 in Aug 2024). I only started to rectify this in July with supplements and I am hopeful

PSA Increase after stopping Xgeva.
I’ve been on Abi for an about a year and Lupron for over two years. I stopped getting Xgeva shots due to side effects and the fact that the worst number on my Dexa scan was -.1. Soon after I stopped the Psa and alp both started to rise very slowly. Anyone experience this? MO is already talking chemo
