asking for a friend (really) oncologist referral Chicago or Mayo Rochester
I am an open book for people newly diagnosed with prostate cancer and often hear from friends of friends. Looking back on my journey, I feel that I too quickly went the surgery route after consulting with a very good urologist/surgeon/oncologist and I erred not consulting with a Medical Oncologist first

RAI failure... worse than previously.. advice please
Hi, pleased to find this forum as struggling knowing what to do next... I've had hyperthyroidism for 12 years, tested negative for graves twice, so likely TMG although consultants also think possibly graves?! Had a failed biopsy and been subclinical for a while... had RAI at the end of Jan. Now worse

Travel Insurance
Hi I am waiting for unexpected surgery for heart valve replacement. I am going on holiday in June and I wondered if anyone had advice on travel insurance companies who would cover me possibly while I wait for surgery?

Nerve damage
Hi, Has anyone experienced nerve damage as a result of endometriosis? My surgeon warned me it was a risk associated with surgery and I already had some symptoms of nerve involvement but they're worse since surgery. Is there anything that helps?

thanks for all the responses. I’ve been fighting metastatic bc since 2011 after 19 years from original diagnosis stage 2. Prognosis was very good. Surprised after 19 years. I was put on femara and Zometa. Then 2018 switched to ibrance , fasladex and Zometa. Oncologist retired so I went too Sloan. I ended

Never ending circle
Morning everyone, just looking for advice and to vent a little. I have posted a few times about my journey but finally thought I had got some answers. Quick recap- after years of being fobbed off by my GP, I eventually went private to see a rheumatologist who actually listened. Initially he diagnosed
