On to my next treatment plan...
I had Clear Cell Ovarian Cancer, I then had 3 rounds of chemo, a
total
hysterectomy
, then 3 more rounds of chemo. I saw my Gyn/Oncologist in December, & she told me that I was in remission, & my CT Scan had no signs of Cancer.... But she wants me to start a maintenance of Avastin for 2 years.

could someone help interpret iron panel labs please
I’m a 66yr old male and about 4 years ago I was feeling tired and lethargic so my wife suggested a thyroid function test. The labs showed that my thyroid gland was indeed beginning to struggle and that my WBCs were showing some anomalies. I was subsequently diagnosed with CLL but since then my thyroid

Some help with interpreting iron panel please.
My mum is supplementing with iron. Crp hs 0.48 (0-5) Iron 29,9 (5.8-34.5) Tibc 62.7 (45-81) Uibc 30.9 (24.2-70.1) Transferrin 47.5 (20-50) Ferritin 298.6 (13-150) It looks as though she should’ve stopped a while back. Any insight with what these numbers are now saying and mean would be helpful

Investigations
Feeling really annoyed and frustrated today after my gynaecologist appointment. I have been on prostap for 3 months, hasn’t help with the pain and caused hot flashes, weakened bladder and painful joints with swelling on my feet. I was told today nothing else can be done as if that didn’t work for pain

Neutropenia and its effects.....
I was diagnosed with lupus by my rheumatologist in 2020. Since 2016 I have had low iron levels on numerous occasions, which was initially treated with oral iron with little effect. I was eventually given an iron infusion in May 2021. This brought my iron levels up for some time, but in April this

Bowel problems
Hi everyone Just wanted to know if endometriosis and adenomyosis causes anyone else bowel issues. I either have extreme diarrhoea or am constipated at least once or twice a week now. And now also hip and back pain! Is that also part of it. I’ve been formally diagnosed with both for about 15 years

Seeing endo on Monday – question about low TSH/hypothyroidism
Hi all, I’m still working to get an official diagnosis for the complicated mess of adrenal/thyroid/pituitary conditions I’ve been experiencing for the past few years and have a much-awaited appt with my endo on Monday. I get super nervous before any appts for fear of not communicating clearly enough

Prostap, bleeding and pain
Hi everyone. Hope you’re all ok. Just after a bit of advise. I have been on prostap since October following excision in July, my specialist said I could be on it for 2 years then he would look at a possible hysterectomy. I struggled at first with low mood but patches have helped. In March I went to A

Tests for iron
Following the advice in the Mayo's clinic protocol, I asked my doctor for a full iron assessment including serum iron, ferritin, total iron-binding capacity, and percentage transferrin saturation which should be measured in the early morning after an overnight fast. She did not arrange any tests for

I had a hysterectomy 17 years earlier and did not have this light brown pigmentation could this be from the thyroidectomy? Any ideas on how to get rid of it? I tried those skin lightening

Husband’s recent iron panel labs show dire ferritin but other levels appear to say he shouldn’t supplement. Unless I’ve misunderstood
We requested an iron panel as it was clear his GP wasn’t going to offer even though husband falls asleep at the drop of a hat. I’m glad we asked because his ferritin is very low having fallen from his usual 50-90 over the years 26/07/22 Ferritin 19.2 (22 -322) Serum iron 21.4 (14 - 31.3) 42.77%
