Steroids and Radium 223
Hi Hopefully my husband will start Radium 223 in 4-6 weeks. He recently stopped abiraterone after 5 months as his PSA was doubling every month. While he was on abiraterone he was taking 2mgs of dexamethasone, although 1mg for the last month. He’s currently taking 6mgs of prednisilone but our question

Letting people down because of IBS
I'd made arrangements to go on a 250 mile train ride to help family members with a really difficult family problem. I knew it was a risk booking tickets and making commitments, but I gambled on it. The stress has been awful the past 3 weeks to a month now. I kept "positive-talking" myself and saying

Order of treatment?
My husband has been on Abiraterone for 5 months during which time his PSA has risen,. Before that he had had 6 rounds of Docetaxel which also saw his PSA rise. Having waited for 6 weeks to have a biopsy and get the results for neuroendocrine PC (he didn’t have it) his oncologist has said he can either

Dad with Stage 4 PCa - Need some words of wisdom...again please!
Hi everyone. Just got back from appointment with Dad's oncologist. To keep you up to speed - 3 months ago, his ADT injections stopped working and his PSA started to climb up slowly. Oncologist put Dad on Enzalutamide - been on it for 6 cycles - tolerated well but his PSA has gone from 76 to 87 in one

Latest Flare up
Hi all I've been having loose BMs on and off for about a week now, mainly in a morning. Normally, my IBS steers towards the constipation side, but this is predominantly loose and this morning the second BM was more like diarrhea. Had to take Imodium. In between all this was a BM a few days ago that

Tainted Blood Sample - Additional Info
Did not anticipate another blood sample error yesterday using hematology clinic lab with the personal touch specifically to avoid errors. Finding the positive, it is good to know that it is not only potassium that can be skewed greatly from a bad/coagulated sample but also protein and liver AST (aspartate

Reassurance
Hello all, Hope everyone is feeling well. I've always tried to reassure people on here when they are worried about IBS , but now, I'd like some reassurance please. Over the last week I'm having constant symptoms, I've no idea why this is. I've been having the same symptoms for 15 years, and each

Scary collapse
So with the lack of a definitive diagnosis I have assumed I have ‘a bowel condition’. All tests normal as of April this year. Uncontrollable diarrhoea and permanent loose movements over a number of years plus diverticulosis are my history apart from Diabetes (2) low B12 Hiatus Hernia previous Bladder

Traveling with Imodium
I am due to fly to France in September and take the occasional Imodium/loperamide to help with my IBS. I want to take some of these with me but I'm not sure of how to go about this. Has anyone taken this medication on a plane, can it go in your cabin bag. I have tried to google this but can't seem

ICU recovery nightmare
Was in ICU for 6 days following a seizure due to low sodium (92) due they think to stomach virus though still having investigations for Addisons. 2 ambulances, helicopter , CPR , a stroke originally suspected. No ICU diary kept by hospital , no discharge help, no rehab , no advice on how I would feel
