Life beyond ITU
Hi everyone, so I’m new to this group so this is my first post. My key message is no matter how bleak things look keep fighting, life changing events can open new horizons. I am very lucky having received first class care and surrounded by caring family and friends. After 10 years of health service encounters

In hospital again
Hi lovely ladies Hope everyone is coping as well as possible. I was pleased to finish my 6th chemo on 25/7 despite it nearly being cancelled because all my bloods were very low. They eventually decided to continue and although it ended up a really long day I was glad it was all done and dusted. However

French translation
I'm new here and recently diagnosed with AIH but managing treatment is made more tricky as I live for most of the year in France so language is a bit of a problem. My own GP is very good and eager to improve his English so he will talk to me in English

Home from the hospital!
Finally came home from the hospital yesterday after losing a lot of blood from my subchorionic haematoma. Luckily It slowed just before needing a transfusion, I'm now on high does iron and severely anaemic and bed bound basically 😂 oh the irony that my body couldn't bleed by itself when not pregnant

False B12 levels and biotin
My Dr. took me totally off my maintenance injections because my b12 was 1567. My iron levels were so high that he decided not to do the iron transfusion. My folate was also considerably high. He handed me a copy of my blood work and right under the b12 result it said taking high levels of biotin

Hepatic Encephalopathy
Hi all, I'm Carol and I care for my husband, Michael who now has decompensated cirrhosis.

Haemoglobin levels and blood transfusion while on Docetaxel
Did anyone need a blood transfusion while on Docetaxel? I'm 3 rounds in and my haemoglobin level are down to 80. I'm being advised a transfusion would be the most likely next course of action.
