16cm Fibroid
Hi all, I have just had a phone call from my doctor advising I have a large mass in my pelvic, 16cm which looks like a fibroid. I’ve had pain and bloating for the last few months which is why I had the scan. It’s caused me a lot of worry as the doctor said ‘they think it’s a fibroid’ so now I’m googling

GP visit!
So I went to see my GP yesterday and discussed my symptoms, and asked about B12 injections. Got the same old story - test within range, symptoms aren’t bad enough, try oral B12 for three months, despite my explaining that I have low stomach acid and problems with malabsorption, which she again dismissed

Are endocrinologists of any help after ADT?
After ADT, my MO told me that handling things like Prolia management won't be in her bailiwick. I didn't ask about post-ADT SE's and recovery from same. Hot flashes, low T, BMD loss, and last not least sarcopenia. What is the community's experience with how post-treatment SE's are best handled? Are

Liquid Biopsy
Has anyone had experience with having a Liquid Biopsy done? It is a blood test that can identify cells in the body which may show cancer, then enabling doctors to target therapies that can help. It’s recently been approved by FDA, so insurance can pay. I just had this done at Stanford Hospital (California

CA 27.29 Blood test
My new oncologist wants to add a new tumor marker test to my regular tests for CA15 and CEA. I know these guys all have widely varying ideas on which ones - if any - mean anything. So just looking to see if you all have any experience with this. My Ca15 has always been an accurate indicator and predictor

Colostomy
I was diagnosed with Ovarian ca IVa involving the omentum and liver tumors in September 2023. Since then, have undergone 6 cycles of chemo (avastin, Carboplatin, taxol). Now, am anticipating for surgery on Feb 27 ( in 3 weeks). My surgery told me there’s a 50/50 chance I will need colostomy ( tumor

Blood biopsy
My last PET scan showed progression in my T1, manumbrium (top part of the sternum) and in my pelvis. My oncologist ordered a blood biopsy and the results show that there is no treatment for my mutations. So I had 5 sessions of radiation, each time treating all 3 of my lesions. She is keeping me on

Father with Stage 4 prostate cancer in 8 bones.
On 10/25/22 I took my dad (79 at the time) to the ER at the VA for escalating back pain and we walked out with a stage 4 prostate cancer diagnosis. When I brought him to the ER I expected them to tell me he had lung cancer as he is a lifelong smoker. Additionally, I had been worried about him all year

Just need some advice on self injecting.
Just need to come up with a safe plan for what to do about my B12 injections. After several years of symptoms like chronic fatigue, brain fog, dizziness, pins and needles, sore lips, dry skin, breathlessness etc I was finally diagnosed with a B12 deficiency in 2011. My B12 level was 154. By this

Lactose free Levo
Good morning,I'm wondering if anyone has experience of switching to lactose free Levothyroxene and it helping with fatigue specifically? I have always been somewhat dairy/cows milk intolerant. I get all the usual symptoms but over the past few years have discovered what I can manage (butter, hard cheese
