Waiting for chemo to start
I had surgery 5 weeks ago which involved a full hysterectomy and then I was later given a staging of ovarian cancer 3b. All has been healing well, except I now feel a bit bloated again on the right hand side (the left is softer). I am thinking it could be ascites rebuilding (I did have 6ltrs removed

Should I cancel salvage radiation and ADT
I am 58 years old. I’m 185cms and weigh 95 kg. I was diagnosed with Gleeson 4+3 =7 around Feb 2014. I had a radical prostatectomy in 2014, Monitoring of my psa showed increasing levels; from 0.02 to 0.57 in Feb 2021. So it took 7 years to get from 0.02 to 0.57 I commenced ADT treatment 3 months

Raised LFT Question
Good morning, I was wondering if anyone could offer me any insight to my blood test results. I used Thriva to check my Liver function amongst other things and all come back ok except GGT of 112. I mentioned to GP and she ordered some more blood tests. In the meanwhile I have had a hysterectomy almost

Decisions!!! Hysterectomy!!!
I last wrote here about two years ago before and after I had a laparotomy and removal of endo. This was the second ablasion I had had in 8 years. The relief lasted about nine months before I started noticing symptoms again. At the beginning of 2021 I started noticing changes in bowel habit and pain when

Survival rates with external beam radiation therapy in newly diagnosed elderly metastatic prostate cancer patients
New German study below [1]. The elderly patients were at least 75 at diagnosis. Only 2 more years & I will finally be elderly. I wonder what it will be like? LOL. As a group, older guys obviously have shorter life expectancy, but there has to be a better way to define 'elderly' than age. What about

Treating recurrence with Doxil: Side Effects?
I am three years from the end of carboplatin and Taxol chemotherapy for my Stage 3 ovarian cancer. Prior to chemo I had a complete hysterectomy, omentectomy, appendectomy, and transverse colon resection. I now have a recurrence, with a tumor near the sigmoid colon and rectum. There is no surgery or radiation

Feeling lost
Following full hysterectomy, removal of appendix, and omentum , graded as 2a mucinous, which was found in the right ovary , and a small microscopic amount in the left . I was told mucinous is very hard to treat and had 6 months carboplatin chemo . Unfortunately I have a recurrence just 6 months later

Phenytoin sodium long term links to cancer?
Hi, my girlfriend has epilepsy and was put on this drug about 7 years ago. She is 32 and since being on it she has undergone over a dozen surgeries, a hysterectomy and partial vulvectomy. Her consultant has advised it may be worth changing medication as they don’t understand why her cancer Has been so

Oh no! New pain!
Hello everyone. A little bit about me. I was diagnosed with endometriosis 4 years ago. Had excision surgery for it and was later found to have adenomyosis too. I had a hysterectomy in May this year and was doing really well. I always thought there was more to my pain than what I was experiencing. Well

Partial hysterectomy -long term side effects?
I have lots of fibroids including really big one and will probably need hysterectomy. I would get to keep ovaries and cervix. Still I read some side effects like back pain, hips pain, loss of sex drive, aging faster. Just would like to hear from women who had this done - whats your experience? I'm not

I don't know what to do now?
Back in July, after a routine blood test, my Levo was reduced from 175mg to 150mg because my T4 was too high. I had a further test 7 weeks later and my T4 had gone up slightly. I posted my results on here and was advised to have some private blood test to check on Vits etc. My dear mum became very

Dating post prostate surgery
Had my radical prostatectomy August 10th of this year. This weekend met someone and went out on a date Sunday night. It was good I was open and honest with my medical issues. My question to those that are single, how long after your surgery did you wait before getting back in the dating game?

Suitable clothing post hysterectomy
Hi, like many folk, I’m on the waiting list for a total hysterectomy. Trying to do something practical, I’m preparing for the recovery. Can anyone recommended good clothing options for when I return from hospital please? I’ve read that dungarees are useful, did anyone wear those post op and what brand

Hysterectomy date!
Hi! I had the follow up from my lap a month ago this morning, and got the date for my hysterectomy - still 2 months to wait, but at least it's moving in the right direction! The consultant seemed pretty confident that it will still be laparoscopic even though my uterus is, in their words, 'impressively
