Petscan Results - Great News!
Did another petscan last Monday and the results compared to July's last scan were an absolute blessing. Scan summary says: "No definite hypermetabolic lesion to suggest FDG avid locoregional recurrence or metastatic disease. Stable faint uptake in right small axillary scar, likely post procedure.

Spinal cord stimulator? Advise please
I was wondering if anyone has had experience with spinal cord stimulators, I just had a 7 day trial and it seemed to work. Any advice will be appreciated.

Prednisone and spinal surgery
In a week I am having a laminectomy to relieve pressure on my spinal cord and nerves. Diagnosed with PMR in April 2019. Currently on 12.5mg prednisone, and on a very slow taper to 11.5mg over 5 weeks. How should I manage my steroid dose before and after surgery? Should I up the dose for a few days? Thanks

cyber knife aka SBRT
I am wondering if any one has experience with SBRT/Cyber Knife treatment. I get another PET on 9/1. First one was 3 mo. ago to look at a meningioma in my spine and lit up a 1.7cm tumor on my upper right lung lobe. I had the meningioma removed 7 weeks ago and now the thoracic surgeon wants a new PET

Wanting to cut premature deaths by almost 15% gets you the label of being a health nut!

Ankyolosing Spondylitis and Adalimumab
I have Ankyolosing Spondylitis with a number of spinal fusions already. I started on Adalimumab at the end of April but it's not really helping. I have just had a phone appointment with the specialist nurse who told me that I can't expect to be pain free as I have a lot going on. I told her I don't

So much for my new beginnings!
2 weeks post spinal surgery I was going great guns and itching to start c25k again, then last Tuesday it was a 999 call and back into a different hospital with gallstones. Oh boy pain?... hmm. After a few days monitoring and administering fluids and antibiotics I looked a bit like an inflated version

Advice welcome
Hi everyone, I'm new here and hoping to gain some advice and strength from others in similar situations. My boyfriend has Stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (adenocarcinoma) with bone mets. The cancer has travelled into his spine causing so much damage that he had to undergo spinal surgery to replace

New beginning
Well the spinal surgery has happened the consultant tells me it was successful. I am waiting to go home now to recover, just the small matter of moving house now! Hubby has been moving stuff while I’ve been in here loafing about, next weekend is the big move I will be directing but no lifting or handling

I've pasted the article in here for people to read, in case accessibility is lost:
Interest in a potential role for vitamin D in the prevention or treatment of acute respiratory infections dates back to the 1930s, when cod liver oil was investigated as a means to reduce industrial absenteeism due

How concerned should I be about spreading oral herpes?
I’ve had oral herpes since I was about 13 and only recently found out that even when there is no outbreak or symptoms, there is still a risk you can pass on herpes. This has led me to become almost phobic of touching my own lips in case I spread it to myself genitally and I’m particularly scared of

Surgery on Thursday what to expect?
So quite unexpectedly the hospital contacted me today offering me ACDF surgery on my neck on Thursday. I had a pre op a few months back so I understand the operation etc It's what happens after that I'm trying to find out. If you have had neck or any similar spinal surgery what was your experience?

Stepped up again
I saw the asthma nurse at my surgery today...apparently I wasn’t supposed to have been seen in person but they’d confused the process and booked me in. Anyhow, I saw her cos my asthma isn’t great at the moment and I’m already on highest doses of my meds& tablets to go with. What was helpful was that

Thoracic syrinx on my spine
Can I ask anyone, how serious is a thoracic syrinx on your spine, I'm really worried that the syrinx will stop me from having spinal cord stimulator operation to help with my neuropathy in my feet
