Response with Lu PSMA 's first cycle for my father.
Hello Everyone, I hope you all are slaying the big C each moment and emerging fitter and better by the day. Since i took your feedback and opinion on the LU-PSMA trial for my father, before initiating. I must write an update on his response to the treatment too. So Great news and bad news - both. He

Update on PARP inhibitors
Background 2018 started off brightly. After 6 cycles of docetaxal PSA went from 47 to 1.8 (May 2018). But once the soft stuff was gone, PCa started progressing again and was back to 4.6 after Cycle 9 (June 2018). MO cancelled Cycle 10 and put me on Enzalutamide. 3 months later PSA had risen to 15.1

Appointments!
In January I have appointments for breast screening, audiology, ophthalmology, stroke clinic, dentist, urology, haematology and that does not include the probable two blood transfusions and blood tests I will need! The positive spin on this is that I am certainly being well looked after BUT how I wish

Not a good day 😫
Freshly diagnosed here, kinda don’t know what to expect. I’m suppose to start transfusions soon but no medication since being diagnosed. Symptoms seem to be getting worse, left side of my face goes tingly like icy hot is on my face and I get double vision while I’m feeling the icy feeling. Starting to

Anemia due to hemicolectomy causing malabsorbtion
Looking for help please. Had a hemicolectomy last December and since then I have needed three blood transfusions due to low HB levels. Can anyone help me and give me some advice and guidance ....I feel so isolated and difficult trying to find information and people with the same experience.

Octevus anyone?...
I am recently diagnosed as of September 2018. I am a mother of 3 boys 4years and younger. My neurologist is suggesting Octevus... (probably spelling it wrong, I think of the word Oculus 🤷🏻♀️) I’m just curious to anyone else’s experience with this medication and if they can share their experience

Myelofibrosis
My ‘crossover’ MPN has transformed to Myelofibrosis ( confirmed by BMB) and my new consultant has decided that the only medication is Ruxolitinib. Can anyone reassure me as to its efficacy, and if they have suffered side effects..... it all sounds quite toxic. My HB has also plunged to 60, and

Hospital Pain management
Hello ladies, I was admitted 3 days ago with severe pain and bleeding (period wasn’t due for another wk). I had the Zoladex injection and started on Tibolone 6 days before. They thought it may be a Zoladex flare, but still unsure. My Hb went down to 88 and they suggested a blood transfusion. I was

PICC line complications
Hi ladies, Just thought I would shine a light on some problems we in the UK should be aware of concerning our beloved PICC lines. These weird and wonderful devices make it possibly to get infusions easily, get blood drawn and receive everything from transfusions to IV antibiotics without searching painfully

Peri-Menopause and Menorrhagia
Ok I'm at my wits end after six years of flooding through tampons in three minutes or no longer able to hold them in. I have moved on from night time pads to incontinence pads to incontinence pants and as an alternative toddlers nappies...many at the same time. I flood so much blood and huge huge clots

MRI results
So after finally getting my MRI I saw a spinal physio the other day. They explained that my disc at l4/l5 was pushing in to the part that carries my nerve. They basically explained that a 'normal' persons would be 100% whereas mine was 30%. My lower leg is still completely numb and occasionally feels

Good news I think
Hello lovely people, I have just had a call from the hospital to say that a week after I had a magnesium infusion my levels for both magnesium and iron have dropped too low again. So I’m having a blood transfusion and another magnesium infusion on Tuesday. On a more exciting note after my last ever,

Severely anaemic.
After seeing my GP on Thursday following 23 days of flooding (aged 56) I had blood taken on Friday at 10:15am expecting my results available online by Monday or Tuesday next week. Five hours later a partner at the practice called me to say the hospital had called my results straight through as my haemaglobin
