What is normal after surgery and what isn't
My husband had
stoma
surgery
two weeks ago and got home a week later. Since coming home he seems to be deteriorating not improving. On the advice of his stoma nurse, we are going to see the GP to get bloods taken, etc this morning.

PSMA Analysis needed
I'm awaiting the visual images from my PSMA FDG scan. In the meantime, I've got a written report and I could do with your help. The backdrop is that I'm hoping to be considered eligible for PSMA therapy in Melbourne in May-Aug. At the heart of it lies a really simple question (and apologies for my naivety

Stoma reversal
While I was waiting for my liver transplant I had an emergency
Stoma
surgery
and had a bag fitted, the surgeon that gave me my first check up for my liver said in about six months or so they will have me back in to reverse the Stoma.

Graves Disease
Hi, I have type 2 diabetes, I was over-prescribed metformin which had its horrors. When I came off it I was quickly diagnosed with thyroxicosis and hypercalcemia. Saw the endocrinologist yesterday. |He sat there and said do you know what you have wrong with you, then he told me I had Graves disease

Pale skin during flare ups
I’ve got very severe stage 4 Endo with a lot of bowel involvement, relying a lot of pain relief every day now and treatment options have pretty much run out except the final
surgery
I’m allowed. This
surgery
would be total pelvic clearance and
stoma

inflammation in eyes
I have an inflammatory eye condition either episcleritis or anterior uveitis. I’ve been on steroid drops for this which have given me cataract. On top of this inhave 2 stoma bags for a perforated bowel ( which triggered the eye inflammation). It’s been a horrendous time and I’ve become very down.

Stoma patient, mucus from anus
I’m seeing mucus from my anus, just this past week. I’ve had a bowel tumour that perforated in April 2023. I’m due my scan on 4th October. I have a stoma and no chemo ? I also have a hernia behind the stoma , awful pain from constant irritation on the skin surrounding the stoma? Some backache too?

Diagnosed with stage 3b Rectal Cancer in July 21. Chemo / Radiotherapy for 5 weeks in October 21 and APR with permanent colostomy on December 21. Thankfully am still NED 18 months later. One of my symptoms was lower back pain which was really painful but this eased up after the op as it was obvious
