Alpha fetoprotein test for cirrhosis patients??
Hi, is it standard for this test to be done every 6 months with the liver scan? I've just had my bloods done (post liver scan and pre consultant appointment) and spotted that I have been tested for this for the first time and the results are hidden from my Patient Knows Best account ... should I be worried

Now 18 months later he was back in hospital with another gastric bleed. It took four endoscopies to finally locate and

Advice on Flight Socks for travel

Should I be concerned
I am currently taking Ramipril 10mg , Lercandipine 20mg & Indapamide 2.5mg. Despite being on these my BP is still on the high side. I eat healthy, get plenty of exercise, don't drink or smoke. I have even cut caffeine out not that I drank much tea in the first place. When I first started Lercandipine

I have suffered from high BP for 25 years, during which time I have been prescribed up to five tablets to be taken every day.

High cholesterol & levothyroxine
Hi I have just had blood tests done @ GP to check thyroid/cholesterol. I do not have results but have a telephone appt. to discuss on Thursday this week - which normally means something is wrong. In the last six months my TSH has been 0.12-0.16 in a range beginning 0.3 & upwards. Doctor has been fine

Pet Scan and Guidance
I was diagnosed with Gleason 8, cribriform morphology and PNI. Ct scan and bone scan were clean. My Decipher score is .79. My pathology report was reread and scored at Hopkins. At diagnosis, I asked for PET scan, but local urologist did not think it would get approved. I have started aggressive treatment

Oxycodone and Laxative
I have just started on Oxycodone to replace Oramorph... 5 mg fast relief . Suffering from Bladder Camcer. Problem is that I then need a laxative because both of the above make me constipated. Oxycodone appears not to react well with Dulcosoft laxative. Anyone any suggestions ?

For those of you who had radiation, how did you manage nausea if you had it?
My brother is in his 4th week of radiation and since day 2 has been extremely nauseous all of the time, he had the beads implanted in his prostate and is doing IMRT for 9 weeks, he is on promethazine but it doesnt really seem to be working well. He didn't qualify for prostatectomy because it had spread
