Chemo affecting kidneys
Hi there, My mum had her first round of chemo (cisplatin and pemetrexed) two weeks ago for her stage IV NSCLC and has since been hospitalised (with complications of her cancer -
pleural
effusion
and blood clots) rather than the chemo and she is going home in a day or two.

Unexplained Chest Pains/Palpitations
I started having tachycardia 4 years ago. My heart rate would go up into the 170s. I've had several ECGs, blood work, CT Scan of the heart, stress test, holter monitor, Ziopatch and echo. Everything came back normal. I have been put on propranolol, metoprolol, and now Bisoprolol 2.5 mg once daily since

Lumbar spinal stenosis with PSP?
My husband also was diagnosed with severe lumbar spinal stenosis and it was recommended he have spinal fusion. We are not going to do that at this point. Can't imagine adding that on top of everything else. The rehab would be nearly impossible. Someone else on this site (I can't find the post now) said

Rapid Progression of CBD?
This is my first post, so I hope this isn't a tired worn-out subject. My husband, like so many, had a long delay in his CBD diagnosis, including two spinal fusions and a lot of other shenanigans starting back in 2014. He has been moderately healthy until this spring (his last surgery was in February

QE Birmingham Liver transplant news.
I was at a meeting last night with the Liver transplant Support Group at the QE. One of the items of discussion, involved the new liver transplant perfusion machine which was licensed for use back in January of this year. It has since been realised that although this machine is a wonderful piece or kit

Update
Also, moderate
pleural
effusion
(that was showing on previous scans too), which doesn’t light up on the scan, but no doubt is an effect of the cancer. My ca125 is at 20. The plan is to continue with Avastin and keep an eye on it, which means another scan in a few months.
