Kidney Transplant
Hi everyone… I’m 36 years old male from Australia and have kidney failure last month. I’m currently on dialysis. The average wait time for kidney transplant in Australia is 2 to 7 years. My doctor told me i can get transplant early due to age factor. My question is that can someone explain their transplant

Is this normal? So many questions
At the age of 8 I got cancer surgery on my leg, on the soft tissues. The operation caused the interruption of 3 lymph nodes. At the time, me and my parents didn't know about lymphoedema. And I was great! Until at the age of 13 I joined a tennis class and my leg started swallowing. I was then diagnosed

Wheezing
I wake with worrying wheezing, usually it seems to come from the left hand lower lung. I think it's associated with nasal drip and sleeping on my left. Sometimes coughing will produce a small amount of phlegm which relieves the situation to some extent. In cold weather or if I catch cold, my symptoms

Evening Primrose update
Hi. I was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer a year ago. I had surgery and radiotherapy and was put on Letrozole. I have had a few problems with the Letrozole, which saw me come off it for a while. I was put back on it and the Oncology Nurse told me to take Evening Primrose oil. it’s been 3 months

help after a prostatectomy
hi I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in march of 2023 Gleason 3+4. went to Mayo Az for a robotic prostatectomy. Had a great surgeon he did a bilateral nerve sparring surgery in Dec of same year.

Radiation and CA125 increase
I had surgery last November to remove a large tumor along with my ovaries (already had a hysterectomy). In June, a CT scan showed the lymph nodes in my pelvis were growing and a biopsy confirmed that the cancer had spread (or was there all along). I started radiation therapy and had bloodwork done

Incidentals on CT, Rheumatologist problem
Good morning, I was looking over the report on my PET/CT scan recently that I had in 11/22. On it, it says about the PMR. It also says that I had a soft tissue nodule on my left buttock - likely inflammatory, maybe from an injection site - please correlate clinically. It also says I have a left adrenal

my day took a dive.
My brother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. His surgery early this morning revealed the cancer had spread undetected. They ended the procedure and sent him home giving him 6 months to live. Life seems random and impersonal. My son’s dog Roxie understands.

Pseudomonas infection post laparotomy
Dear ladies, Has any of you had this problem post surgery? I’ve been having issues with my wound since they removed the staples 10 days post op. I’ve also had a low grade fever coming and going from the 3rd day post op. I am now 3 and a half weeks post op and I found out today I have pseudomonas aeruginosa

To be or not to be Immuno-suppressed? That is the Question!
Since the covid vaccination program began, I've very deliberately had every single booster offered....7 in total. I've always felt that protecting myself from catching covid is both sensible and responsible. However, I've not been able to have this years spring booster yet as I cannot have the Moderna

This morning I had a COPD review unexpectedly (isn't due until October) done by a Nurse Associate.... N.A. Are you breathless at all ? Me. Yes. The End. It will be interesting to see if my management plan for Emphysema is updated and copied to me as in previous two years. I am still stunned by
