Iron Overload/Hemochromatosis?
Hi All, On 8.07.21. I did a medichecks iron panel test results as follows: Iron 26.4 (6.6-26 umol/L) TIBC 66 (41-77 umol/L) Trans Sat 40% (20-55) Ferritin 50 (13-150 ug/L) I was advised at the time that it probably wasn't hemochromatosis as ferritin level too low but was advised to keep my

Surgery date brought forward by two weeks
Surgery date brought forward by two weeks. Mastectomy was booked for October 4, but I’ve just had a call from the surgeon offering me a week today. I’ve accepted it but it’s left me quite shaky, no idea why. Perhaps because I thought I had three more weeks to prepare and I have less than a week. But

Total Abdominal (Bikini cut) Hysterectomy next week..yikes!
Hi all I’m hoping someone on here is able to give me some reassurance, I’m wondering if anyone has any positive experiences of having a total hysterectomy? I keep reading about the extremely difficult recovery (which I do expect) but I’m starting to get really anxious about the whole procedure.. I

Post 2 - my own bloods - advice please :)
Hi everyone Posted about my dads bloods for feedback but also curious about my own results.

Hi They say if you want to hear God laugh, tell him your plans. Well, He is laughing mightily!! When the call came that I have breast cancer for the third time, I was adamant that I wouldn't undergo a mastectomy - unfortunately, the onc surgeon does not think she can do a lumpectomy because of a previous

8 months since first post..new results and questions
8 months on from my first noobie post on the forum asking for help. I’m pretty pleased with this, feeling so much better than I did, the advice here has been life changing. Still work to do, very achy, limited capacity to do anything outside of turning up to work/home stuff but that is an improvement

Low Ferritin and iron supplements & Iron Panel interpretation
Further to my post of 24.10.22 Endo increased my Levo to 75 mcg daily and advised TSH to aim for 0.5-2.5, when I mentioned low ferritin she looked at the blood test and said everything is within range? Said my symptoms of brain fog, swimmy head, heaviness and tinitis are unlikely related to thyroid

Can anyone give an idea of what could be causing the following please?

Patches are the solution, terrific, help in many ways, feel better than have for many years. But I
