Transplant clinic
Hi on Tuesday I was at clinic for the first time after my surgery to make sure that everything with my heart was ok. I got an echo scan which was fine, I have mild regurgitation (I am not really sure what that means) my consultant is not too concerned about it. The main worry for me is my blood pressure

ovulation after excision surgery
Did anyone have issues with not ovulating after surgery? Last 2 months I don’t think I’ve ovulated. Last cycle was 7 weeks (I do usually have a long cycle but not that long!)

Good chilly May morning 🥶
Good morning with windchill it’s 22 degrees in Pocatello Idaho that’s at least 20 degrees below average. I’m still toughening it out in my shorts 🩳 it is supposed to warm up this week 🤞🏼. Rozy is doing better pretty much healed up from surgery and ear infection 😊 I’m just about over my cold/crud

Brachyboost and PSA progression free survival question
We just received our appointment summary from the radiation oncologist and there is a comment in it that is confusing me. It’s not how I remember the conversation, so I am wondering if someone can clarify ( Tall_Allen ?). ”We can proceed with EBRT followed by LDR brachytherapy boost and minimum 6 months

Access To Patient Records
Just want to get my facts straight before I complain. I had access to all my records visible on Patient Access and the NHS app last year. At some time this year everything prior to September ‘23 disappeared from these apps. This is not confined to my records - hubbies and other friends have gone too

Need some info on Fibroids
I've been posting here for almost 2 years about my pelvic pain and heavy bleeding while on waiting lists. I had a laparoscopy last month which showed severe and widespread adhesions. I was told by one gynaecologist that there was no endo and the adhesions would have been caused by my c-section in 2009
