Good Scan/Bad Scan/A Little Surgery
Well...my last scan Jan 25 showed my lungs and all organs clear. Woo hoo!! However, I have 2 lymph nodes on the same side as my mastectomy that are around 1 cm each. I’m having surgery in the morning to remove those. Once they are out I won’t have any tumors!!! It’s been 2 years and 4 months since my

Unsure what to do!!
Hi all, as like most of you I was misdiagnosed for over 8 years. Finally July 2019 i was diagnosed with severe endometriosis, which has stuck my bowels to my uterus and also affecting my ureter pipe. In August, after having a MRI I have been on the complex waiting list (as I need 3 specialist surgeons

New regime for Primary Peritoneal grade 4 and breast/axilla grade 3.
Greetings to everyone. I Am reading posts everyday and recognise that everyone has a different story to tell and a wealth of experience to share. In a nutshell, My diagnosis for PPC high grade serous was last Spring. I reacted to paclitaxol so had chemo just with Carboplatin. In Autumn I was ready for

Non conversion of T4 to T3 and low ferritin - Do I stick with NHS in the hope they give me T3.. will it work even if they do give it to me?
I have low thyroid where I am not converting enough T4 Levothyroxine into T3 and am waiting to go to my local hospital to see an Endo but am not feeling confident regarding the willingness to even acknowledge T4 to T3 conversion by NHS Endos and of course what medication they will give me and what knowledge

Aches all over
I seem to ache all over, especially at night. I can hardly walk even using a frame. My back aches from one hip across to the other. My back hurts either side of my spine between my shoulders. I think it is muscular as it is worse when I move, although it hurts just lying in bed. I inject methotrexate

Which department do I go to for a deformed sternum?
I am 64 years of age, have epilepsy, but it is my deformed sternum, about an inch higher on my left hand side of my chest, born with it, about 75% capability of normal breathing because of it. One of the ribs dislocates horizontally when I sit down, and get up. All my ribs have broken at various times

CT scan
Not me, a member of my family has been diagnosed with breast cancer for a 2nd time. Not sure what type. All I know it the lump is a centimetre, has come from a duct. She has been offered a lumpectomy with radiotherapy or 2nd mastectomy with medication for five years. I’m worried now though as she has

HIGH FERRITIN
Hello partners We always speak of low Ferritin, because that condition is what can indicate that iron is low in the body and consequently in the brain, producing R.L.S. I´m suffering from PMML, and an ultrasound brain Doppler test confirmed insufficient iron in brain stores. But nevertheless I have 700

Anyone on Ibrance have lowering haemoglobin and rising liver enzyme AST? Concerned it may be cancer in marrow....
Hi all I've been on Ibrance and Letrozole since MBC diagnosis in August 2019 to bones and marrow (after primary bilateral mastectomy, immediate lat dorsi reconstruction, chemo, rads, and Herceptin in 2010). Stable CT scans since, but now AST liver enzyme rising, my Ferritin (which is odd with low haemoglobin

HIPEC
Has anyone here had, or knows of someone, that has had HIPEC for metastasised stomach cancer? My husband has one metastatic tumour 4 yrs after his gastrectomy. It is in an awkward position and 6 months of standard chemo has had little effect and they’ve had to lower the dose of radiotherapy for fear

Ouch
I’m recovering from a total knee replacement and my fibromyalgia is off the charts. I can’t seem to get ahead of the pain. But I’m hoping this is all for the greater good.

Need your opinion
I always try to be upbeat about my posts. Don't post often, but enjoy reading about the strength of all of you warriors. I was diagnosed in 2016 with a very small cancer in left breast. Had lumpectomy and 21 rounds of left breast radiation. Like so many, I thought I was done. I was told recurrence
