Stage 4 OC — Deposits on liver
Hi ladies! Could do with a bit of advice, as am spiralling a bit. For context, my Mum (54) was diagnosed with HGS stage 3c/4a OC in Jan 2022. BRACA gene negative. Immediately started three rounds of chemo, then had optimal debunking surgery and full hysterectomy, and continued with three more rounds

Endometriosis and Emetephobia
Hi, I have struggled with severe symptoms of endometriosis since I was 13 such as vomiting and passing out due to the pain I was experiencing. I have been put on every contraception you can think of since and so far only the depo injection has been able to mostly control the symptoms, except a few flare

A medical professionals responsibility
Last year before Christmas I had a routine blood test that showed a reduced platelet count. Went from 160 18 months ago to 139. I had been going though a period of very heavy drinking (day and night) in the two months prior to the test. I went to see the Doctor as he called and asked me to come in that

Follow up to Monday CABG
First of all I want to thank you all for the messages of support i received before my operation on the 19th of February. The good news is that my triple bypass was a success ! I spent a total of 10 days in hospital, I had a few ups and downs, but overall I have had a positive experience, albeit sometimes

Melanoma Surgery while taking Actemra and Prednisone
Hello, I have GCA/PMR and currently on 2.5mg prednisone and Actemra every other week. I just found out I have to have a melanoma surgery, and a surgery called “lymph node biopsy” where they remove some lymph nodes to determine if cancer has spread. My question is: should I increase/decrease prednisone

ongoing health issues
As many of you know, I had foot surgery 4 weeks ago. Unfortunately, the wound isn’t healing well, so I’m now 6 weeks off my MTX and benepali. On Sunday at 1am I went to the loo before settling for the night. I had a large rectal bleed, with maroon stools and a gush of blood. Hubby was asleep, so I checked

Finally got my Neurosurgeon appointment!
Hi all, Well after waiting almost a year, I saw the neurosurgeons at Sheffield Royal Hallamshire. The consultant offered me some bleak options, have cervical spine surgery or my symptoms will get worse and I won’t be able to get back to how I am now! I have cervical myelopathy and spinal stenosis,

Recent diagnosis - What was your radiation experience?
Hello, I was just diagnosed with stage 1, non-small cell. I'm debating between the open surgery (the nodule is not in an easy location) or targeting radiation. I'm scared of recovery from the surgery, but I'm also scared of potential long-term side effects from radiation. I'd appreciate hearing your

tricuspid and mitral
I had my TOE yesterday and it was painless although a little uncomfortable but I did have sedation and was pleased that I had. The nurses and doctors were very sweet and informative without being alarmist. It turns out that I have two moderately severe leaky valves, mitral and tricuspid, both parachute
