Wishing you all a Happy and Safe Christmas
A huge thank you to everyone who supported me in my partners journey through his wiggly veins, angina, numerous tests, failed stents and ultimately his CABG and AFib episodes this year. You are all superstars. Unfortunately his recovery has been longer and much harder then we’d planned for - but he

Feeling really worried
Had angioplasty a week ago,She couldn’t get stent in LAD as things were” too tight” but did managed to open it up, but also said during the procedure that CABG was probably best option.I will get a app in 8 was to discuss how I am etc. I was feeling positive until I read the discharge notes yesterday

Fear of something terrible happening
Hi I have a congenital heart defect that was detected 2 years ago which mean my right artery is in the wrong place, running between the pumping chambers which sometimes cause angina type symptoms I’m under cardiologist and on waiting list for CABG hopefully by end of feb, there isn’t really any data

Just not right!
My journey started April 2016 being diagnosed with coronary heart disease, went through CABG 4 weeks later. After recovery I just never felt as good as I had hoped and sure enough symptoms returned and June 2020 I had stents fitted. Still don’t feel anywhere near how I hoped to after these procedures

CLL and melanoma
Hello This is my first post on this forum. I am a 58 your old man, and I was diagnosed with CLL two years ago. I have been asymptomatic, and have been monitored on a “watch and wait” basis, with blood tests every 6 months. A couple of weeks ago, I became concerned about a mole on my back, and went to

Using an Inhaler with cardio issues
As a few will know I have had Cardio problems since 1997, fixed with quad CABG and later stents fitted. Had several issues with breathlessness and diagnosed with HF. All of these quite well managed these days. Earlier this year just before everything kicked off I had had more breathing issues and had

Ongoing problems after CABG - impossible to get anyone to listen
Just wondering if anyone has any advice...fiancé had 3x CABG in January. He had AFib and heart flutter after op (several occasions of it and was on Amiodrone for 3 months.) An ecg he had in March showed no AFib and he was taken off the amiodrone. For the last few weeks/months he’s had “funny heart moments

Question: Why must I be off of Ibrutinib three days before, and three days after, surgery for skin cancer. Basal Cell on my nose ? Mohs Surgery

Cracked nails
I would like to thank the person or persons who suggested to use Hard As Nails to help nails from cracking when using Imbruvica/Ibrutinib. I started using it and it is helping . I also found out that Vitry nail care for nail repair is also good but more expensive.

Eight months into good heart recovery and then , surprise surprise, hello Parkinsons! How does one affect the other?
Have any of you experienced both? I doubt it's good news, I imagine a battle between my recovery - very good so far - and PD. With 2 new valves an Atriclip and a CABG, I was told to expect 18months for recovery (thats confirmed in scientific papers) so I'm wondering who's the hare and who - or what

310 Lb., 66 Year Old Man 11 Weeks After Cabbage.
I just signed up. I hope I can learn from all of you and contribute to the forum. I’ve had a couple of periods of time when I was in athletic tip-top physical shape at 210 lbs., but most of my life I’ve been a pig. I’m not a small fat man... I’m a stout large boned fat man... Based on many bone measurements

Skin cancer on my eyelid
Hi I’m feeling pretty angry with my GP! Despite my insistent assertive concerns with a lump on my right eye ‘that I also saw the Gp for last years” he wouldn’t see me. He said that it was probably just a cyst! I paid private and had my thoughts confirmed that it is skin cancer. It’s going to cost me

Routine check ups after CABG x5
I’m just asking out of curiosity - my husband had a quintuple bypass in Canada 2 years ago. We came back to the U.K. last August and gave the doctor all his records. Do people have annual checks with a cardiologist here or if you are ok is that it?

With hindsight, what do you wish you'd known when you had your first diagnosis of Parkinsons
I'm new here, but already signed up with the 'heart' section after having 2 new valves, an atriclip and a CABG in February this year.I had a stroke in 2016!Whatever next! Parkinsons is the answer - and I'm determined to fight that too with your help - what a wonderful brother/sisterhood you are. Typing

Hi Nice people, hope you are all good and well. I must say that 8 weeks after CABG I’m feeling almost back to normal (as normal as normal can be) .... I had my sign-off meet at the The hospital yesterday, with my Surgeon, the one I look up to now as the man who was between me and my maker. I was very

Why don't Doctors recognise the chronic after effects of Meningitis?
Hi Everyone. So I'm sat watching the news and they are talking about the effects of 'Long Covid'. Doctors are actually recognising the chronic symptoms patients are experiencing and planning how to improve their care. Covid has been around how long? How about Doctors listening to the Chronic symptoms

GCA patient saw cardiologist yesterday, med changes
Hi all: So I took, my weatherman to Cardiologist yesterday. Routine checkup, because of the history of CABG 2005 and stent replacement last year and occasional chest pain with flareups. So during his visit yesterday, Mac told cardiologist about needing nitro 3x in one week with symptoms of GCA. This

Differences in those with or without a thyroid
One area tends to confound me a bit here. I’m in the US and focused on thyroid cancer and those of us who have had thyroidectomies. This is one of the best thyroid forums around (excellent information, great mods and caring support) and I often refer folks who come to our US thyroid cancer forum here
