Blood test results , platelet distribution width??
Hiya, I am low in b12 and SI EOD at the moment. Have been going through my blood results and have noticed my Platelet distribution width is always really high(35-55%) and my plateletcrit is always really low. I’m not sure what these are as I notice they aren’t usually in others results. Any input? I

Looking for correct group
I have SCC from parotid gland which has spread to
neck
lymph nodes. It's been removed by
neck
dissection
and I'm on day 2 of Radio Therapy. Looking for support for the side effects of RT as well as recovery from the surgery. Thanks

Help! I’m scared I might have throat cancer
Hello to everyone and Thank You in advance, I know I have already posted here before but I desperately need help from everyone. For the past 2 month I’ve been having problems or pain swallowing. I can still swallow and eat food and drink but here the thing, I only get this pain when swallowing saliva

Feosol. Are these claims real?
Hi there I am still researching. I tried splitting my 20mg ferrous bisglycinate in half and it still made me drowsy and horrible. It clears after three or so hours... is it because it's all going in at once? Please if you could take a look at this product as I would love to hear your views. Feosol

Denosumab / Prolia ? Opinions
Has anyone here had Prolia ( Denosumab ) as they kept forgetting to take Alendronic acid . Prolia is a 6 monthly injection. I have been googling and become very alarmed. I certainly wont have it again. I would be grateful if anyone who has had it could share their experiences.

Euthyroid sick syndrome
Hi I would be grateful for any help. How long does euthyroid sick syndrome recovery take? All I can find is " The recovery from this euthyroid sick syndrome is, at least in part, TSH-dependent, since the prolonged elevation of TSH values preceded and persisted during the normalization of T3 and the

oesophagectomies have poor outcomes
Have changed user name . I had a transhiatal oesophagectomy 6 years ago . My twin brother is now receiving chemo for oesphageal cancer .He has been told that his cancer is not operable because a lymph gland is affected and it's position means it cannot be removed . A recent scan shows that the chemo

Immune System Discovery Could End Chronic Organ Rejection.
Chronic rejection of transplanted organs is the leading cause of transplant failure, and one that the field of organ transplantation has not overcome in almost six decades since the advent of immunosuppressive drugs enabled the field to flourish. Now, a new discovery led by researchers at the University

So sad
Continuing to take 2 steps forward one step back- think this is common for many of us. The GCA, osteoporosis, gastrointestinal problems and now extremely labile blood pressure, and heart rate dropping into low 40's is being evaluated. Thankfully my medical care has been superior. BUT, today we received

Good morning ladies. I hope you are all as well as can be in these uncertain times. I had a phone appointment with my oncologist yesterday. She had the results of my sigmoidoscopy biopsies which were clear so I was delighted. I had hoped to start weekly paclitaxel today. My ca125 has almost doubled to

Timing
I have split my dose of pred and am wondering what time people take their evening dose? I am presently on 12mg, 9mg am and reducing by 1mg monthly. I do not like the idea of taking it and then going to bed as my Mom passed with esophageal cancer so not a good idea for me. My Reumy does not like me splitting
