Alcoholic liver disease is a strong predictor of colorectal polyps in liver transplant recipients
In January this year, following a routine blood test by my GP. It highlighted low ferritin levels. After having completed a Fit-Test (faecal haemoglobin test), blood was found in the sample. I later went and had a CT Colonography. This highlighted four polyps in my colon. After a lot of messing around

Small baby, induction at 39 weeks? Any experiences?
Hi all, been a while since I posted anything as my IVF pregnancy after the initial issue’s early on has been pretty ‘easy’ and straight forward. Just looking for mama’s that might have had similar experiences to what is going on with me? 2 weeks ago I had a growth scan as my bump was measuring 2-3 weeks

Look after yourself!
Hi everyone, as you will know from previous posts, my hubby has decompensated liver and is still drinking, with an "If I die, I die" attitude. So today saw me at the GP for myself (felt a bit self indulgent tbh) and I've got low haemoglobin, low vitamin levels, possibly due to Covid a couple of months

Is it too late for Triplet Therapy? (4 months on Elligard already.).
Switching to Dr. Dorff from old MO. First appointment on 12/28. Hoping to get Triplet Therapy that old MO basically said no to. That MO also dragged out any treatment beyond initial Elligard injection for two months waiting for a bone biopsy that she ultimately ignored the results of. Anyways, diagnosed

Caring for Dad with liver cancer........
My Dad is 82, and was diagnosed in August this year. He'd been unwell for most of the year, then caught Covid in June and thankfully this led to some blood tests from his GP. He then collapsed and got taken into hospital where he was diagnosed with liver cancer. He has got 3 metastatic tumours, and

Pain after TURP
I underwent a TURP about 2 weeks ago. This was after having total urine retention, and subsequently living with a Foley catheter for 7 months. I had a Suprabupic catheter put in when under with the TURP, and lucky they did, as so far I still haven't any sort of normal urinary function. The question

Unsure how to proceed
so first , I’m in the US not UK so every single little thing medical is $$$. I’ve had pain in the liver area off and on honestly about 3 years now . More towards the back and it’s not really pain as much as heaviness feeling or fullness idk if that makes sense. The last few months seems like it’s getting

Listed but improving UKELD
This is a bit of a strange one. Partner has decompensated cirrhosis, listed about 4 weeks ago. We cried with relief when he was listed - he has been so poorly and had a heart scare (that turned out to be nothing when investigated) so were SO SO grateful to be listed. However UKELD has improved slowly

Big baby
Hi everyone, hope everyone is well ❤️ it's been a while since I've been on. I'm now just over 36 weeks and have been told that baby boy is measuring big. At 35 weeks they estimated him at 7lbs 😳 due to big scan measurements for his head and belly in particular I've been testing for gestational diabetes
