🎶 Keep Yourself Alive 🎶 (apologies to Queen and Brian May)
It’s three years ago now since I had a diagnosis of cancer, leading to a mastectomy and a lumpectomy. As horrendous as this all was at the time, it inadvertently kick started my running, as my physio from Macmillan (the charity) made a daft suggestion about get me running. “Errr, no, I’ll do any other

Newbie on Zoladex and Tibilone
Hi All, I joined this group a month ago following a diagnosis of stage 4 endo. A bit of background - a gynae consultant told me 5 years ago that I had suspected endo as multiple cysts showed up on MRI. As my pain was manageable then, I declined a lap to confirm as I didn't need treatment. Fast forward

Lab results 2 of cont. from last post
These are non-fasting. Although i wonder if it would’ve made a difference. Just a recap, b12 levels were 364 pg/ml (range: 211-911) on 5/12/17 and 671 ng/ml (range: 200-950) on 6/6/18. I started supplementing for everything (including b12) except for vD on 4/3/18 and stopped them 12/19/18 due to starting

Got Homocysteine lab back
Lab result of Homocysteine: 12.9 range: 0.0-15.0 Still waiting on the others. I couldn’t wait four months to check b12 but have been off b12 for atleast 2 months I believe. It’s not out of range so this must be a good thing? I googled it and it said homocysteine can indicate b6, b12, and folate deficiency

Frustrated - please help me with my battle plan :)
In the United States... So, last year my daughter was diagnosed hypothyroid. In studying up on that, I suspected I was too - brain fog, fatigue, low basal temp, high bp, insomnia, mild depression among other things. In Nov. I got doc to order labs. He wanted to take a wait and see based on numbers

Breast Cancer Cell arrive again for me after 13 years
I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer back in November 2005. I had a complete Mastectomy and nineteen Lymph Nodes removed. A port was put in my chest and I received six months of hard Chemo.

Magical Words of Wisdom
Hello Wealth of Knowledge and Trusted Companions, I do not say these words in jest. Having most likely suffered from undiagnosed Hypothyroidism for over four years, at minimum. It was not until I started investigating my symptoms on my own, and came across this wonderful resource, that I pushed for further

Factors Affecting Iron Test Results
On having bloods for Iron studies Panel, following 4 Tests: Serum Transferrin Iron Serum Total Iron Binding Capacity Ferritin Twelve hours fasting is mandatory. Can anybody advise how many days prior to blood draw one should stop ferrous supplementation in order not to affect test results ?

Knee replacement and PMR
After seeing my latest knee x-rays, my ortho surgeon has added my name to the waiting list to have a total knee replacement (sigh).

Worst fears confirmed. 3rd cycle failure. Shuttered!
OTD came & I knew it hadn't worked. I'm so torn apart and angry. What's wrong with me. I can't even face husband, he keeps apologising for the vasectomy he did before meeting me. I think the world is making fun of me as people around me are having kids like fruits. It's time to accept my fate and I
