Hypoxia induced cancer stem cell enrichment promotes resistance to ADT.
New study below. One of the myths we regularly run into is that "cancer hates oxygen". People buy into dubious ways of delivering more oxygen to their tumors. A tumor will eventually outgrow its blood (& hence oxygen) supply. A lack of oxygen (hypoxia) will result in the generation of hypoxia-inducible

Unstable Angina
I am looking for some advice/guidance. I had a cardiac arrest a year ago and since then and over the years I have had six stents. My question has two points. Several hospitals visits ago it was mentioned that I had unstable angina and medications were adjusted to try and compensate. I was admitted to

Stent pain
Following recent cabg surgery I had further problems and a stent was put into one of the grafts 2 weeks ago. I continue to have chest pain so returned to A&E this week on advice of GP but the consultant is sure it’s stent pain. So why didn’t the cardiac consultant give me pain killers while I was in

Imposter Syndrome in the morning
My daily routine- sound familiar? First thing: I feel good. Bit uncomfortable, but nothing much. Why am I not working? I could do that DIY job at least! I’ll try driving this morning, then do the ironing. Big guilt trip because I’m letting everyone down and clearly THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH ME. Why

GTN spray and tablets
Hi, I'm new on here. I had my heart attack in March this year and a stent put in. I've recently been prescribed isosorbide mononitrate tablets - I was told it was instead of my GTN spray and I would never need to use the spray again. Is this right? In some stressful situations I do get mild chest pain

Meds post-'no-deal'?
Is anyone else here concerned about medication refills in the last days before 31st October (assuming we actually do leave) and the first weeks after in case there are the predicted shortages? I'm not trying to stir up a discussion regarding leave/remain here, nor am I looking for reassurances or admonitions

Heart Attack?????????
I'm 51 years old, five years post Ivor Lewis and all clear. I am accustomed to the results of Bile Reflux/GERD, when the contents of your stomach end up in your mouth, throat and/or lungs during the night, either because you ate too much too late, you slipped off the pillows during the night or other

I'm new here so hope someone will be able to help me with Coronary Spasms
I was diagnosed with Coronary Spasms approx. 5 years ago. There doesn't seem to be a trigger that I am aware of. They come in blocks so I may be fine for a few weeks then I could have them 3 or 4 days running (sometimes 7 days). The usually occur in the evening or wake me in the night. They come in

Microvascular angina
Hi just joined the group as I have been recently diagnosed with angina. I’m, or was, very fit and healthy running swimming and cycling regularly. I am really frustrated as exertion brings on the angina symptoms. I’m back at the hospital this week and having read up on the BHF site think I have Microvascular

Sunday - Down at the Gym
One Sunday the forum arranged a gym day. Two members turned up thinking t was GIN tasting! The email also reminded those prone to angina to remember their GTN spray. Two members brought along bottles of GIN. Fortunately, someone else had brought tonic! We have a new machine in the gym. After half-an-hour

Tingling Sensation in hands and arms
Ever since I had 2 stents fitted last October I have experienced what I can best describe as a tingling sensation in both my hands and arms, although it is very difficult to give an accurate description. it is not really pins and needles, like you would get by lying on your arm, more of a feeling of
