Good Response with Cyramza/Taxotere
Pleural
thickening is basically gone and
pleural
effusion
almost gone. Tumor shrunk and lymph node involvement totally reduced as well as SUV uptake down all around. No signs of any additional mets. Round #3 was yesterday and we had to adjust steroid use as it was really messing with my GERD.

My Current Situation
Hello all. Over the past few months, I feel my health has taken a turn for the worse. Now I'm finding myself deciding if it's wort all the suffering, or if escaping it all is for the best. I'll recap... 1986: Born, and immediately diagnosed with aortic stenosis with insufficiency 1998: On a trampoline

Feeling a little guilty!
Hi all..having read a few of the posts I must admit to feeling a little bit of a fraud, in comparison, my problem seems very small. I was diagnosed with angina about 18 months ago, by chance really, as I had been experiencing pain between my shoulder blades, breathlessness when walking my dog and exhaustion

There is light at the end of the tunnel
I had a large tumour, ascites, a
pleural
effusion
and some activity in the lymph nodes in my chest. Initially I had 11.5 litres of ascites drained off, then 8 litres followed by a further 4litres. I was huge round my middle!

Joint pain
In the past I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis then told I had fibromyalgia when I switched rheumatologist. I quit going to doctors and taking meds (hydroxychloroquine, enbrel and mythelprednosolone) and started crossfit which did help until I needed spinal fusion (bounce house not crossfit) which

Pain now or pain later
I'm 30 years old. I had corrective surgery for scoliosis and acute lateral shift when I was 13. I was reasonably fine until about 2 years ago where I started having severe pain in my hip. After over a year of tests and checks it seems that the facet joints at the base of my spinal fusion are rubbing

So surgery...
It seems that after about 4 years I'll need to fuse my ankle. Unfortunately the subtler joint fusion I received in August didn't fuse all the way and the infection I got in November and second surgery in December to remove the screws didn't help. I recently just got a steroid shot (again) and of course

RA Ankle Fusion
Hey all, So I've been dealing with RA for four years now, I'm currently 20, and I recently had a subtalor joint fusion in my right ankle. Unfortunately my hardware in my ankle got infected and they took it out. We're unsure if there was a nonfusion. The fusion doesn't seem to be working though, the past

Tummy pain post-surgery... how long?
I was very lucky pre my surgery, as once the chemo cleared up my remaining
Pleural
Effusion
I had hardly any pain at all, so was taking nothing in the way of painkillers. What is/was your level of tummy pain post-surgery, and what advice can you offer. I have a square heated blanket that helps.
