Have you experience of Chemotherapy and underactive thyroid?
I have recently completed chemo following surgery for a bowel tumour. I was wondering if anyone has experience of chemotherapy and underactive thyroid? I have continued to take 75 T4 and 20 T3. It’s difficult to know if the fatigue / sleep problems are to do with the thyroid or chemo. many thanks.

Adrenal cortisol expertise needed
Hi! I was diagnosed with adrenal fatigue / low cortisol 10-plus years ago and take 10 mg of hydrocortisone (tablet) in the morning and at noon. I just received results of diurnal saliva cortisol test and am surprised/confused at the results. Does this group help with adrenal issues, or is there a different

To Chemo or Not to Chemo--that is the ?
Should I follow my MO's advice and do docetaxel? Since I'm now 78, and have read terrible accounts of chemo, I have held onto the belief that I would do everything to avoid chemo since the treatment appears to be worse than the alternative. But she's really not giving me an alternative, other than

Hi everyone, my name is Claire. I’ve just received back some blood test results (Rheumatoid Factor and Anti CCP antibodies). The Rheumatoid Factor came back negative but the Anti CCP came back as 10.4 K/UL. The test states that normal range is under 2.9 K/Ul yet mine is over 3 times higher. The last

8/4/23 Update questions for MO
To review, after 19 months on Lupron, Zytiga, prednisone, PSA increased on 1/23 to 0.253, then 0.309 on 2/21. Plarify scan showed only one active site in hip which was radiated. 4/4 PSA dropped to 0.24 which indicated the lesion was knocked out and I would be hormone sensitive and stay on Zytiga. Yea

I have hypothyroidism…have I got autoimmune pancreatitis?
Thanks in advance to all you good people, who’ve already been so helpful. Since 2012, when diagnosed with Hypothyroidism after years of illness, I was never referred to an Endo. I assume I have Hashimoto’s… From childhood, I’ve had recurrent GI symptoms to alcohol and fatty foods. Last August, I had

OK bloods...Still plateauing??
Hi again 👋About 7 weeks ago I increased my levo from 50mcg to 75mcg after discussing here. Initially, revved up again. Happy days- more energy, lost a small bit of weight, mood improved etc. I have started slipping back again and thought I'd get my bloods done again before I do anymore 'tinkering'.

Watching House
I am off on a long weekend (tomorrow I go back to work), and watching House on Netflix. Funny how they focus on positive ANA for lupus on this. Of course it is never lupus, but the irony is, when you don’t tests positive on ANA - it can’t be lupus. BUT, if people test positive for ANA, you are told

BCF after 9 years post proton therapy
My PSA had been increasing slowly since my nadir of .75 in 2017 reaching 1.19 in 2022. Both RO and Uro weren't terribly concerned. I wanted PSMA after 3rd consecutive increase but both recommended a wait and see approach, especially the RO who seems honor bound to wait for 2.0 over nadir. I skipped

HoLEP Affect on Pca
as posted earlier, I have both BPH (80 cc) and localized prostate cancer. Clear PSMA. I’m having HoLEP surgery. Wonder how this will impact the cancer. How will PSA respond? What happens if HoLEP actually removed the cancer?

Low hemoglobin
I started hemodialysis in Aug with an emergency chest catheter. I had 2 units of blood as my hemoglobin was low while in hospital. Then in hospital again in September and another 2 units of blood. Got my labs today and hemoglobin was 6.8 so they gave me Mircera and iron. When I did PD I got Mircera
