Testosterone is increasing? Should I be worried?
Hello everyone, Since my father’s surgery in 2022, his PSA levels have been undetectable. He receives a Zoladex injection every three months. Until this month, the reference range for total testosterone was 1.93 - 7.40 ug/L, and his result was 0.126 ug/L. This month, the lab's reference value format

Further developments in the 'back muscle strain' saga
Last October when changing bed sheets, I injured my back. Went to A & E in excruciating pain and they sent me off with a single dose of morphine deciding it was a muscle strain. It limited movement so much I was stuck in the chair for weeks, still complaining to GP about pain. They referred me to a

First PSA post surgery
Hello, Just had my first 3 month PSA test post surgery. <0.01. Good news but need to monitor every 3 years due to intraductal component. I just want to thank everyone that has been so supportive and has given me positive feedback on this forum. I am also getting genetic testing done this week as well

Who is confused? My surgery or me?
I was asked by the GP to remind him, when I reached 3mg in my tapering, that I should have a synacthen test. I have now done so. However, I am being sent for an ACTH blood test Is this the same thing (I don't think so as I have not been asked to miss the steroid dose and there is no indication that

Confused! Adhesiolysis or Hysterectomy or Mirena!
I attended a follow up appointment this morning which was booked straight after my lap in March. It was with the original team (let's call them Team A), as since then I was put under a different team for Laparoscopic Adhesiolysis after finding severe, dense, widespread adhesions. Team B refused to scan

Update (from the wife!)
UPDATE : 22 July 2024 - My husband spent a total of 8 weeks in ICU incubated and sedated. Tracheostomy has been removed, but he's really not well and has moved to a Stroke & Neuro Rehab Ward. His surgery apparently went well but he still can't move his arms and keeps getting infections. A long road

Total Knee Replacement
Hi Hope everyone is well. I need a bit of advice.- I've been given a date for my knee replacement..it's in August and will be done in north London at a good NHS hospital. They have a centre for elective surgery and to be honest it's probably the best hospital option available to me. But for anyone
