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.

The trials of Winnie the poo
On the way to perfusion 3 (a 2 hour drive) my car broke down with an alternator failure. Had to be towed home and take my wife's car. This led to being 3 hours late and a high intensity day to get all the tests and the perfusion done. Glad I made the effort. They've changed the protocol

Is there anything that can be done to stop this tiredness, no energy, pain and weight gain.

Four years on and still feeling 20 years older
Hi, I had my PE four years ago, and was admitted to hospital on the 18/02/15. I had been feeling unwell several months prior with pains in the back/shortness of breath, but put it down to ongoing back issues and the affects of smoking 18-20 cigarettes a day. I was working full-time and travelling up

Horses and Hearts!
I'm 62 and have had horses and ridden all my life........and I have never smoked and dont drink - In fact I would have said I was pretty fit as I do at least three hours of horse induced exercise a day! To cut the usual long story short I was found to have an NSTEMI one morning when feeding chickens

Myo cardial Perfusion
Hi Everybody. Its great to see lots of differing opinions. I am a 53 year old with a stent after the discovery of blocked Artery. the procedure went well despite some pain on my behalf. However I had some discomfort in larynx and top of the chest area... not really angina. Having still got this now

Caregiver for 50 yr old Mom with Metastatic Melanoma
Hello all. New to this lovely community, I've been feeling the need to reach out to other to people going through similar experiences as mine. In 2017 my 48 yr old mother had a large tumor (golf ball sized) growing from her left leg. Initially the doctors did not think it was melanoma or in fact malignant

Methotrexate FDA warning.
Before starting this drug, tell your doctor if you have kidney problems, ascites (fluid in your abdomen), or
pleural
effusion
(fluid around your lungs). Tumor lysis syndrome warning: If you have a rapidly growing tumor and take methotrexate, you’re at increased risk of tumor lysis syndrome.

Tampenadol
My pain specialist has suggested trying Tampenadol 50mg twice a day for chronic back and leg pain. I've been on it a couple of days so far it's not been enough to cope with flare up pain during the day so I've had to either use oramorph or tramadol to cope . What doses are people on and how long do

Nerve pain
I had a Spinal fusion July 18 and the nerves from L4 L5 got damaged and I have been in chronic pain in my whole left leg. I have tried most things from Morphine based tablets then Pregabaline, Amitryptaline you name it I’ve been on it. I’ve tried loads of vitamins which I am still taking. I’m using Biofreeze
