Endo ablation without my consent
Hi all! I had my first laparoscopy last month where they confirmed extensive endo was found in four different places, as well as adenomyosis, and as agreed they removed it all. The day of my surgery before I went down to theatre I asked the surgeon (being done on the NHS) to confirm that they would

Hormonal medication
Hi all, I’m 29 and had a laparoscopy last July, where they found endo in my womb, ovaries, rectum, pouch of Douglas and somewhere else I am forgetting! After the surgery, they suggested I went on contraception to stop it growing back - since my mum has had breast cancer twice, my options are quite limited

Looking for insights into Zoladex/downreg
After going through surgery for fibroid removal, unfortunately it didn’t work, with the wrong fibroid removed as I have lots, and the one we think is affecting implantation is still unchanged. Have very few embryos available after many stim cycles. Next step for me is looking like some sort of down

Ivor Lewis procedure and complications

My GP to do annual AF tests to detect asymptomatic patients
I've just had a letter from my local surgery saying following my suggestion they will now take the pulse of people who attend for annual exams (blood pressure, diabetes etc) to see if they are asymptomatic AF sufferers. A positive result to then be referred for ECG etc. A small victory.

Background I was diagnosed with PMR in June 2024. Fortunate in having very supportive GP who quickly started me on 15 mg Predisolone which brought about dramatic improvement. Dose has been reduced to 14 mg after 1 month. GP plan is to reduce by about 1mg a month, depending on monthly blood test results

Next weeks medical treats
Hi everyone the clocks counting down , Radiotherapy starts next Tuesday. I have a problem already they don't give you the timetable of appointments till you go so if I have to go back on Thursday not enough warning (i.e 48hrs notice required for transport) Even the cancer centre requires 48 hrs notice
