Oh joy...
49, just got diagnosed last Wednesday. Go for Bone scan and CT tomorrow. Gleason 8/10. PSA was a 5.4 two months ago, 6.7 now. Of course worried about the whole bone thing. Not looking forward to drinking the barium (vanilla, what a joke) tomorrow (so gross). I'm kind of addicted to this whole breathing

Post Ivor Lewis Mucus
Hi, I’m really hoping someone can help me find a solution to the excessive mucus that causes coughing and then retching it up every time my husband moves around. He’s 5 weeks post Ivor Lewis...which followed 28 radiation treatments & 7 carbon platin infusions. Surgeon says everything looks great on chest

Getting no where with drs
My journey has been a long one since 2012 my drs have suspected that I have something going on with my liver. My enzymes remain at 50AST, 54 ALT 112ALP and have stayed this way for the whole year. At one point they went back down to completely normal. I have had my ANA and AMA tested twice both negative

Difficulty initiating swallowing
I have been having difficulty initiating to swallow for 4 months now. I do not have acid reflux, I’ve had a modified Barium swallow test done and an endoscopy test done both showing that everything’s “normal” and yet I still struggle initiating to swallow. I hesitate when I do try to eat any solids and

Have had stitch/pain that comes and goes frequently under left rib cage..can anyone relate? Tests show nothing.
Hi, for several months, have had what feel like knife like pain or a stitch feeling that comes and goes under my left rib cage. Does anyone get this? I thought it might be may be muscle strain from straining to have bowel movement (please don't tell me not too, as I have severe constipation, with that

Upper oesophagus cancer
Hello, my 77 yr old dad was diagnosed a few days ago. He has had difficulty swallowing for about 4mths and had Barium Swallow done which came back clear but biopsy during endoscopy found he has SCC cancer. Dr says Barium Swallow didn’t show as the cancer is up high (20cm from his jaw) & also very close

hip pain in systemic sclerosis
hello all. I was diagnosed with systemic sclerosis and secondary raynaurds in December ( a week before Christmas) however, luckily very early. I have a sudden pain on the inside of my hip (almost groin) when I walk, especially upstairs and an uncomfortable chest (like a weight is on top of my lungs)

Iron deficiency anemia
I have been diagnosed with very low iron levels and have Parkinsons. After an Endoscopy, colonoscopy, injesting a barium camera for a lower intestinal read and a negative for blood stool sample my doctors cannot find a source of a bleed anywhere but yet low iron levels. Anyone else experiencing this

Newbie looking for help
Hi I'm a newbie & looking for some advice. Around 6 yrs ago I had the sensation of food/something getting stuck in my throat. Wasn't until a year ago that I was sent for a barium swallow test and a oesophageal exam which showed gastro reflux and I was given Lansoprazole which hasn't done very much
