Heartbroken
So today we had to bring our 7 year old beautiful Maine Coon Bella to the vet because we thought she was having dental problems. We were told that it looks like oral cancer and we want to see a specialist as soon as possible and they would need to take half of her jaw out at least and I'm so torn whether

Priority became cleaning, bedmaking, shopping, then they were here, and it was cooking, more cleaning and fun walks and visits to the beach and fairy

Well today I found out that my 7-year-old sweet Maine Coon Bella most likely has oral cancer my heart is absolutely breaking. We have to take her to a specialist to make sure that is the case but either way she would need surgery that would take part of her jaw. In addition to that I had a wonderful

Update on Dan
I've been up the hospital since 10, I've only popped home for a shower and some food. The surgery went well but during the night Dan had a couple of seizures (apparently it's a risk after a craniotomy) but he is on medication and responding well. Me and his Dad went up to visit him and spoke to one

Low eye pressure
I have Normal Tension Glaucoma and had a Deep Scleretomy operation on my right eye 18 months ago ( I believe this is a similar operation to a trab, the aim being to lower the pressure) and I have a bleb under my eyelid. Immediately after surgery the pressure dropped to 3 but gradually over eight months

Rheumatologist advices no reduction of prednisolone while adrenal glands not working and has issued emergency hydrocortisone kit
I've had PMR since October 2020 and managed to get down to 2.5mg of prednisolone in February 2023. But after a flare, I had to raise it to 5mg and have been pain-free since then. I started on methotrexate weekly injections (15mg) in December 2023, with the hope of being able to reduce the prednisolone

Sensitive (but hopeful)
++ + If you're not up to this please scroll on and I hope this hasn't upset anyone - it's never my intention. I just want to give an update and maybe some hope to anyone who may be feeling a bit hopeless. Update: My LG is here - after what seemed like a very straightforward pregnancy it all went suddenly

I stopped Prostap, started the mini pill but I keep bleeding.
Hi,I'm stage 4 endometriosis, with 3 cysts measuring around 18x18x18cm in total. Tethered to my bowl, colon and bladder and i am now awaiting surgery. I'm just wondering if anyone else has had issues with bleeding after coming off Prostap? I had the Prostap injection for one month, alongside Tibolone

Contact lenses after Paul implant
Hello all, Just wanted to ask about your experience with contact lenses after Paul implant (or any alternative drainage device). How soon were you able to resume wearing your lenses after the surgery? Did you encounter any complications? Did you have had to switch from soft to rigid contact lenses

Having a STEMI in mid 40's...the search for underlying causes / answers for premature CHD.
Hi Everyone, My husband had a major STEMI in March 2023 with a full blockage of his circumflex artery. He was 44 years old and playing 5-a-side football in a local sports centre when he collapsed without warning. Thank goodness it happened there of all places however, as the swift actions of his team
