Low PSA + high Gleason-FYI
I’ve just heard that this is a thing. Unfortunately it seems to affect my outcome. For instance, I had an initial PSA of 4.8 (4.6 after retesting), and I’m Gleason 9. Three of my doctors have mentioned it to me in passing (most recently today), which led me to Google it. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

Selegiline side effects
Hi All. Due to drug shortages we've been unable to get rasagiline and had to swap to selegiline. Since the swap mum has had lots of unusual bleeding and the GP thinks it may be a side effect of the selegiline. Just wondered if anyone else has had similar problems and if so how did you resolve things?

PSA went up after three treatments of chemotherapy
I have had 3 Chemotherapy treatments with Docataxel. before the first treatment PSA was 89. after the first treatment PSA was 73.31.. after the second treatment PSA was 52.82. after the third treatment, PSA was 73.31.. does it make sense to take another chemotherapy treatment since the PSA has risen

My introduction Hi
Hiya everyone. Here, as I have recently, by accident really, been to the doctor to see if I might qualify for weight loss drugs, having heard such good things about ozempic or the tablet version Rybelsus. Dr said no, I don't qualify for it. But BP was 185/172 which shows hypertensive crisis, heading

Notes for upcoming GP appointment
Apologies as this is a long read 🙃 I've got a GP appointment booked for 9th May, with a doctor I've not seen before and who is relatively new to the practice. I'm wanting to ask for a Rheumatology referral and have written the below out as a crib sheet for me to take in. I'd appreciate any thoughts

CYSTOSCOPY NEGATIVE August 2023
Hey Ladies and Gents. The urologist/oncologist says we can stop the monthly chemo infusions since my urinary bladder looks free of any neoplasm. And next April (2024), if it holds, I’ll be cancer free for three years and can get back on the lung transplant list. “Let your last thinks all be thanks

Another cause of Pernicious Anaemia?
We know that certain gastric operations cause Pernicious Anaemia and therefore lifelong b12 injections are required . But what I’ve never seen mentioned is the possibility of radiotherapy cancer treatment in the region of the stomach that contains the parietal cells , causing Pernicious Anaemia . Surely

Advice about experts at London Bridge Hospital
I have an unusual history. In 2007, I recovered from several months in hospital with hypoxia and very severe chest pain only when I was put on heparin. I have a very severe history of clotting on my Mum's side of the family and family and friends begged the doctors to try anticoagulation because

Afib and Bone density supplements
I have had afib for about four years now. My latest bone density test shows osteoporosis. My primary wants me to take Prolia or some other prescription medication. My research indicates "causes arrhyhtmia" as the number one side effect. Clearly a problem for me. I have looked at several bone density

No more appointments
I had an appointment yesterday to discuss results of recent echo. Was seen by a specialist (can’t remember official title) who is a level below cardiologist - apparently does all the ground work and liases with cardiologist. He advised that as well as afib, I now have 2 slightly leaky valves and also
