Fenofibrates
Someone asked if Dr. Jones' book mentioned the use of fenofibrates.... yes, it does in several places. This might be a good book to have if you are considering using them. He is the leading expert on PBC. Hope it helps... The subject is discussed in the chapter for 'Treatment of PBC'. Many have been

I’ve had the Bone Marrow Transplant!!! That was actually the easiest part. 5 hours of fluids leading up to the BMT and the previous 5 days of chemo infusions (day5 was the worst) were much harder. Chemo: Fladarabine -6 thru-2 with addition of Melphalan on day-2. When you start treatment (chemo) for

Gods beautiful creations
Last week I was able to ski with a bunch of my grandkids and all my pics were of them. Some days I felt ill but it was so worth it Today I went snowshoeing in a snow storm. What a peaceful serene setting on those snow covered paths nestled in the pines. Even the village where the trail system begins

Scary, but I figure not a scary as a
kidney
transplant
. And I need to keep on moving with life. My creatine number has risen and I know dialysis is on the horizon. I'm just trying not to worry about it but guess what. I do. I guess I'm human.

Prednisone and kidneys
I was diagnosed with PMR in July 2023 and have been on prednisone ever since, although I have tapered down from 15 mg a day to 13 mg, and will be tapering further down to 12 in the next week or so. My last bloodwork showed higher than normal creatinine levels (104), and a glomerular filtration rate of

Anniversary of varices bleed
Up until 23rd December 2022 I thought I was quite well and healthy and rarely needed to visit our GP. Out of the blue on the 23rd December 2022, I started to vomit up approx. 3 - 4 pints of blood, as you can imagine my wife and I were in shock from the whole episode. Following an emergency admission

PSA to have stabilized after skyrocketing. What does this mean?
With PSA rising very rapidly four months ago after finishing Eclipse Trial, I had SBRT done immediately followed by Provenge. PSA on the day of SBRT was 2.0. It’s my understanding that Provenge will not affect PSA testing so it’s hard to determine progress. Obviously, there is still cancer still there

Hey all, mums chirosis continues to cause us fun each day. I’m now pretty much at the stage of forcing her to eat little and often as she is never hungry, and is never thirsty despite all of her lips cracking and her tounge swelling. When she drinks, it’s as though she is trying to swallow knives or

Trimethoprim - ET
I have unfortunately developed a urinary tract infection. I am penicillin-sensitive and have been prescribed trimethoprim as a seven day course. I have been reading up on it and see that it should not be prescribed for patients with "blood dyscrasias" because of some interaction with folate. Does

Provenge (only) - impact on overall survival
I just got insurance approval for Provenge...out of pocket is really high so now I'm doing a cost benefit analysis in my mind. I've seen many different articles showing that Provenge ALONE only extends overall survival by 4-15 months. Does that sound correct? Tall_Allen mentioned adding xofigio for

To poop or not to poop, that is the question
I am about to embark on taking a phosphorous binder. I will be taking Sevelamer or Renvela at 800mg, one tablet with meals. I only eat two meals a day. WHAT can I do to prevent constipation. I already have an issue with it because of Ozempic and being on dialysis. I had to stop eating oatmeal every day

I am still struggling with treatment decisions - Help please.
I am struggling to decide on my treatment. The main point of conflict is HT or not, and LDR Brachytherapy (if I am eligible - because of a previous HOLEP) or IMRT. I also wonder if I should push hard for a 10-day earlier consultation at the risk of bad feeling. I welcome advice. In the UK - Referral
