Hi all, now I'm sure this topic has been covered umpteen times, but I cannot find any responses to my particular query. I had a voluntary lung health check back in Nov 2023, which involved a CT Scan. The results of the scan showed no evidence for lung cancer. However, it did confirm "evidence of coronary

lapararoscopy
I have a complex cyst probably 7.2-7.4cm and have been told that I will need eventual laparascopy. I am back 23rd of July again for another tvultrasound to check how it is. The gynae/surgeon has done watchful waiting with me since my diagnosis as he knows I am a carer for my mum and I have no one else

2 weeks post hysterectomy
I was scheduled to have a robotic laparoscopic hysterectomy and some endometriomas and any other endometriosis removed. This was supposed to take no more than two hours and be a day case when the surgeon opened me up he found that the endometriosis was way more widespread than initially thought I had

No period after endo excision
Hi, I had a cystectomy in 2018 to remove a large cyst from right ovary. Surgeon advised no endometriosis as this was a concern due to family history. Fast forward to 2023, severe pain again. Send for scans, further large cysts were found again in my right ovary. When I had catch up with GP she advised

Do we have to have a laproscopy?
Hi all, I've been referred for an emergency laproscopy for my pain. I suspect endometriosis. But the bigger Q is: do I need the surgery? I guess yes if it can remove the endometriosis and relieve the pain, but is it necessary for being treated for pain? I feel like I need a diagnosis to be taken seriously

Hi all. I have Lymphodema in both my legs. I had total knee replacement 4 weeks ago, my knee is swollen and my lower leg and foot is is swollen. My skin is very dry in those areas. Obviously, I have swelling because of the surgery but also because of the Lymphoedema so decided to get back to my ritual

QoL: Moonrise at a liminal place No. 2
I painted three versions of this mixed media work, being drawn repeatedly to the reference photograph. It is a place called Cwmtudu (pronounced Coom-ti-di to my American and, I imagine, most of my English friends here), and here we are looking down jnto the valley from a rocky outcrop on some clifftops

My Covid vax appointment has been set up near my previous address (I moved 3 years ago) which is a good 30 min drive cross country and it’s timed for late afternoon. My surrounding neighbours all have theirs at their (and my) nearby GP surgery. My last vax 2 years ago was set up at a mass vax centre

Eye surgery
my doctor told me he wants to do surgery on my eye to straighten out a crease on the retina membrane. At the same time he said he will do a procedure that might eliminate the need for the injections I’ve been having for AMD. is anyone familiar with this?

Total knee replacement and AF
Hi Firstly thank you to everyone who has offered their support previously since I was diagnosed with AF last November. Over the last few years I have been trying to hold off a total knee replacement. (TKR) I was walking more to strengthen my muscles to support my knee and managed to ditch the brace
