Clinical trials?
At the oncology appointment yesterday my husband was given what I believe is an amazing opportunity, he has the option of starting standard care ( immunotherapy pembrolizumab ) or participating in clinical trials where they will be also adding a second drug for a two pronged approach. Whilst I know

We understand....
In my initial bio, I related to you that I had PBC for some 20 years before receiving a life saving liver transplant almost 19 years ago. In about 25% of those with liver transplants the PBC returns. We have to remember that our body still has the tendency to 'attack' it's own bile ducts and bile duct

Struggle after transplant
Hi all,My partner had a liver transplant on 25/02/2024. The surgery was a bit more complex from an anurysm but went well. Unfortunately he was taken back into surgery less than 24 hours later due to a leaking artery which was thankfully treated. He was out of ITU two days later. Four days later he experienced

Any experience with pregnancy after kidney transplant?
hi everyone, I had my kidney transplant in April 2022 and have been given the green light by my nephrologist and transplant team that I am able to go ahead with a pregnancy. Having been through a lot medically including a bilateral nephrectomy prior to transplant, I am overwhelmed at the possibility

Failing kidney transplant
Has anyone over 70 had the experience of a long term transplant failing. What treatment were you offered and is it feasible to expect some form of dialysis?

Zicam post kidney transplant
I am a post kidney transplant patient. Does anyone know if Zicam homeopathic is safe to use? I was told a while back that zinc in a multivitamin was fine. But, most of the Zicam products now I’ve come across are homeopathic ingredients, not just zinc. Looking into for cold.

Three Times Kidney Transplant Recipient: "Third time's the charm."
In 1995, Lisa Myers noticed a mysterious swelling in her feet and ankles. Little did she know that this symptom would mark the beginning of a challenging journey–one that led to a kidney disease diagnosis, ten years on dialysis, and two failed kidney transplants. This is her story as a three-time kidney

Prednisone for treatment of AIG
I've just been started on Prednisone or Prednisolone, immunosuppressant steroids, for treatment of Autoimmune Gastritis/autoimmune PA. This has recently, within the last few years been shown to possibly heal AIG, although not entirely cure. It is also used to prevention immune system rejection of organ

Radiotherapy for lung cancer
After an oncologist appointment I was left deflated. I did know the risk of extra damage to the lung and possibly needing oxygen. She was talking like she didn't want me to try. At the moment they said I have 18 months to 2 years left and the Radiotherapy would give me an extra year . All of this is

How to improve your blood pressure
I have recently fallen in love. With capillaries. In his brilliant book, ‘The Secret Language of Cells’, Dr John Leif, physician and neuroscientist, dedicates a whole chapter to them, calling these tiny vessels, ‘brain centres’ of tissue development. With a yogic lens, this speaks to the body intelligence
