Radium 223
My husband had his 2nd infusion today of Radium 223 and the nuclear medicine doctor told him that studies have shown that Radium 223 only extends life a couple of months. Just curious about others experiences and the recommendations about life expectancy? Thanks everyone!

ROOT CAUSE THEORY
For those of us that have structurally normal hearts yet are effected by palpitations/tachycardia/fibrillation/flutter/et al, I have been unable to answer the question - is your heart behaving appropriately to the stimulus it gets or is the stimulus normal and your heart acting inappropriately. As everyones

Low sodium levels?
One of my latest test results showing sodium level down to 129 -last test was 130. Both results too low according to standards. Not sure if Trileptal prescription is playing a part- is known to cause low sodium. Meet with nephrologist on results tomorrow but seeing this score drop is frightening.

Decision time on Tuesday morning after progression shown in scans
hi all, My husband has spent the last two months on Zytiga rechallenge after 5 rounds of docetaxel. He has had increased hip and back achiness, not severe pain. last month I thought with PSA jump from 45 to 57 that onc would change therapies, but he felt we could continue at that time with the zytiga

Minimal Change Disease and Diet
I was diagnosed with MCD about 15 years ago. I relapsed several times, and my creatinine levels kept rising. At my worst I had a GFR of 14. I was already on a low sodium diet. It was suggested to me that I try removing as much animal protein out of my diet as possible. When I made this change, I

Can anyone make use of residue dialysis support materials?
I supported my son-in-law at our home during his dialysis. He's had his operation and is recovering. I now have plenty of his support fluids, needles etc at my home. Is there any organisation that will make use of the following, much of which is still sealed. 12 box SAK402; 1 box BD Plastipak; 2 box

Dads Full blood count. Any advise please for Vitamins/minerals
Dad is 76, we already know that his T4/T3 is low. No diagnosis of Thyroid issues. He has Alzheimer’s for the last 10yrs but it is progressing very very slowly and when I quizzed my mum she said there were no lesions as far as she knew and the last scan made the consultant frown because he was expecting

Wind pain but no diarrhoea
I have ibs D this is something that plays up everyday but recently it’s been getting better but my stomach pains r making it hard to stand up straight. I think it’s trapped wind but it’s been almost 20 hours and the pain is just as bad, doing a 9 hour shift at work is stressful enough without the added

Intestine resection surgery
Thirty-seven years ago I had intestine resection surgery because of Crohn’s disease. Recently I had an endoscopy and a colonoscopy. There were no signs of Crohn’s or colitis. Still I have symptoms of Crohn’s. Because of the shorting of the intestinal tract I have persistent diarrhea. Imodium AD helps
