Knowledge is Power
Becoming informed is so important. The more you know the more confidence you have to advocate for yourself. When we come up against arrogant or prejudiced professionals it gives us confidence to stand our ground. However, no matter how much we read as lay people we have to recognise that we don't have

Prostate cancer treatment and IBS
Dear Friends and Sufferers! I've been diagnosed with prostate cancer and have the option of removing the prostate or radiotherapy with or without hormone treatment. Can anyone out there who has experience of these offer advise on their impact on IBS and bowel function? At the moment, I've got IBS looseness

Rapidly rising TPO Antibodies, should I be worried?
Hi again everyone. Last Monday I did a home blood test with MMH, the full health + tpo. The results came back as 199 - range 0-35. I then had a GP appointment on Friday to discuss my concerns about my recent blood results, of course she completely dismissed them and told me to get some more bloods done

Fennel Seeds
Hi everyone, I've recently done some research into fennel seeds, and I've read that apparently it contains a compound called Anethole, which helps to relax the muscles in your digestive tract. I was just wondering if anyone here has eaten fennel seeds before and can verify this. I am looking for ways

anxiety
I’m really struggling. I drank an energy drink Friday and had a panic attack. Well, ever since then I’ve been hyper focused on my heart rate. I can’t shake it so of course my heart has been racing and I just feel like I’m about to have a heart attack. I don’t even know what to do. I feel so defeated.

Cotreatment with dichloroacetate and omeprazole exhibits a synergistic antiproliferative effect on malignant tumors
As a follow up to my last post I found this on DCA / Omeprazole. like myself,please treat this as information , not promoting any treatments. For me I find reading and learning about my cancer and possible treatments to be uplifting and gives me hope. To be honest something I never get from my doctor

Hi there.
Still awaiting cancer checks. Still scared about that and the finger deformations since everything I have read seems to indicate that the vast majority of the time clubbing seems to be a harbinger of death. Does anyone know where I can access emotional support relatively quickly? GP said waiting times
