Unsure of best option in early prostate cancer diagnosis.
I have had PSA tests annually for 10 years and in Oct 2023 had an elevated 6.42 result. Was referred to a urologist, whom performed a DRE. There was prostate enlargement but no tumor discovered through DRE. After discussing several options, I decided to have a biopsy on Nov 21, 2023. Dec 5, 2023,

Fecal Calprotectin & CRC
Hey all, I am waiting on a colonoscopy I have scheduled for June 27th due to some symptoms and have a question for you all. Did any of you that got a CRC diagnosis have a really low fecal calprotectin score? I have been worried (as we all are) about what will be found on this colonoscopy, but I had a

Anyone successful with medication for panic attacks?
I have never tried medication other than Buspar for anxiety, I've always just battled them naturally and have come quite far in my journey in overcoming them but I do get tired of battling sometimes and I wonder if anybody had had success with medications in stopping social anxiety with panic attacks

Radiation side effects
The good news is that my husband sailed thru the Orgovyx with no problems whatsoever, now is in his 6th month and is due to complete that treatment at the end of June. The bad news is that he has had 22 sessions of salvage RT. He is supposed to have a total of 38 however, he has developed severe cramping

I am still struggling with treatment decisions - Help please.
I am struggling to decide on my treatment. The main point of conflict is HT or not, and LDR Brachytherapy (if I am eligible - because of a previous HOLEP) or IMRT. I also wonder if I should push hard for a 10-day earlier consultation at the risk of bad feeling. I welcome advice. In the UK - Referral

LDH high
Looking back, my specialist tested my LDH at diagnosis and it was in fact elevated. He told me that it’s very common for MPN’s to cause elevated LDH levels and said with treatment we can correct them.. is that true? I was worried for a second about any organ or tissue damage, but he reassured and said

New but familiar
Hello, I was diagnosed with IBS in 2018. My symptoms were abdominal pain with diarrhea which turned into constipation. Started the low fodmap diet in 2021, and stopped eating gluten, and cut out sugar. My symptoms improved until recently. Now I'm having daily abdominal pain and I'm not passing as much

Staying on Ibrance & Anastrozole after 2 recurrences
I’ve been on Ibrance and Anastrozole for the last 6 years for metastatic endometrial cancer. I started out on the Ibrance125 mg and after a couple of years, had a problem recovering on the week off, so my dose was reduced to 100 mg. By spring this year, the counts could not recover on the week off,

B12 deficiency treated before folate deficiency
Please could someone post a link supporting the importance of this fact for PhonixGrace . Explaining B12 and folate are tested together normally for a good reason. If folate is supplemented before B12 . The b12 deficiency can be masked/ missed. Nerve/neurological damage can occur . Once B12 injections

Squamous cell Carcinoma
HERE’S WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR: Small, hard white or skin coloured lumps. SCCs often first appear on the skin like this. A persistent, scaly red patch with irregular borders. These can sometimes crust or bleed. An elevated growth with a central depression A growth of this type may rapidly increase

New (to me) symptom of severe iron deficiency
I'd never heard of this before and thought it might be useful to somebody... People who are severely iron deficient can have the whites of their eyes (the "sclera") develop a blue tinge. https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Blue-sclera-secondary-to-severe-iron-deficiency-Hassen-Chirurgi/0ae45491752fa575014a5dce5588c7acdcd2f4a7

Stomach cramps
Hi lovely ladies! My mum is 6 weeks post primary debulking surgery, and bowel resection and is still having some bowel issues. She's had pretty bad stomach cramping all day today. Is this normal? Does anyone have any tips? She's still on laxatives and drinking peppermint tea for gas. Would love to hear

Diverticulitis
Just been diagnosed with diverticulitis after colonoscopy, luckily no cancer found. Unfortunately I’m having to wear pads as I am experiencing “leaking” after a bowel movement. Any help with diet or tips, I would appreciate, as I am reluctant to take Loperamide on a regular basis.
