Less than satisfactory telephone consultation
Hi all , after singing the praises of the dentist last week I have had a very disappointing consultant appointment today. Firstly it wasn’t a consultant but one of the team. Having discussed my medication and health, he went off to discuss with the consultant that I had stopped the methotrexate. He came

Alimta
Due to one pesky tumor increasing in size from scan to scan, my oncologist is recommending stopping Keytruda (the only treatment I've had since being diagnosed January 2019) and beginning Alimta. Does anyone have any feedback/suggestions for using Alimta? The word chemo really scares me, but it's

Depression and physical pain
I’m new. Have been in lockdown since November! Recovering from extensive lung surgery then some sort of virus. Curious about current problem of feeling like someone has just punched me in solar plexus. Sure has cut down on my eating. All I can do is lie down when it hits. Is it part of healing or a nervous

Partner just diagnosed... trying to keep it together
My first post on here, and not asking questions or looking for answers... just an outlet for me. My partner was hospitalised in Feb for sudden liver issues, then got pneumonia and on critical care unit, wasn't expected to make it. He did, but in the process of scans they found a mass on his chest.

Stem cell transplant anniversary
It is now exactly 12 months almost to the minute since I watched the bag of stem cells slowly drain into the Hickman line. It's been a very eventful 12 months to say the least. Since my last post 9 months ago I had a difficult end to 2019. I was hospitalised for pneumonia in October which turned out

Men's blood contains greater concentrations of enzyme that helps COVID-19 infect cells.
Evidence from a large study of several thousand patients shows that men have higher concentrations of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) in their blood than women. Since ACE2 enables the coronavirus to infect healthy cells, this may help to explain why men are more vulnerable to COVID-19 than women
