AVR surgery tomorrow!
Hoping and praying that my surgery doesn’t get cancelled again. I’m second on the list tomorrow at midday. Absolutely terrified. Wish me luck!

tender breasts?
good evening! This is a strange one I think. Just wondered if anyone could explain or maybe have had experience of this. I will go to the Doctor obviously. I started Prednisolone in early October 15 mg and am currently on 9.5. Golfing, gardening, decorating - have had very few side effects - and felt

Stopping clopidogrel safely—abruptly or gradual cessation?
I’ve been on clopidogrel (Plavix) for one year after a drug eluting stent was placed in my significantly blocked LAD (aka widow maker artery) 2/23. I’m wondering if the following is true or not, and what your experience has been with stopping clopidogrel safely—abruptly or gradual cessation? Because

Dental Issues with Finesteride
I am 7 years post full gland HIFU surgery. Quality of life remains good. I've been off ADT all this time. PSA has been slowly rising and hit 2.8. My urologist put me on finesteride. It prevents the conversion of T to DHT. Five weeks after starting on it I experienced an onslaught of dental problems.

Pain relief. How do advocate for myself?
Hello lovely people. Wishing you a peaceful pain free day.I need some support on how to advocate for myself as I'm pretty useless. I'm currently on the waiting list for a total hysterectomy for stage 4 and will be my 4th op. I've been on strong opioid pain meds for 11 years using them to varying degrees

A clearer picture
I saw the surgeon yesterday. The biopsy confirmed my breast cancer diagnosis. I had to push for information as the pathology results are incomplete.So now I know I have a stage 2 invasive carcinoma, hormone positive. Cancer type to follow. I've been referred for an MRI. I'll have a follow up to discuss

Urodynamics test or not?
Hi. Just a brief background. I am on the waiting list for pelvic organ prolapse. I have incontinence issues and I was prescribed Solifenacin by the hospital consultant which worked for about a month then stopped. Because of this the doctor has delayed me signing the consent forms for my surgery and

Just recived letter of endo appointment 🤔
Hi everyone ❤️... Just recived the letter that tells you the surgery are referring you to an endocrinologist at Newcastle, no idea at the moment who that is.But I've popped a few pointers to discuss with them, mainly the awful symptoms on both the T4, T3. We I hope, will probably discuss alternative

Acalabrutinib and Skin Cancers
I began taking Acalabrutinib three years ago as a participant in a clinical trial. I have enjoyed excellent success. However, recently I began breaking out in skin cancer lesions on various parts of the body. Particularly on my legs, ankles and feet. I have been prone to sun damaged skin converting

update on my eyelid problem
Hello, all. I don’t know how many of you saw my previous post a few weeks ago when an ophthalmologist suspected basal cell carcinoma in my eyelid. I had a biopsy and yes he was correct and now I have to have eye surgery to have it removed. I know this is not the site for that, but I thought I would

My MO suspects that I am non-metastatic, castration resistant but will not approve any treatment until metastases develop.
Gleason 9 at diagnosis, BRACA 2 germline and somatic. RP five years ago but cancer escaped the capsule; PSA of around 2.5 after surgery. Had radiation to pelvic area a few months later along with Eligard injection. Renewed Eligard after 3 months and PSA went down to undetectable. T was close to zero

Strange results! Would value opinions.
February 2022 on 125mcg Levo TSH 0.04 (0.27-4.2) FT3 5.22 (3.1-6.8) FT4 19.1 (12-22) January 2024 125 Levo 3mcg Lio TSH 0.0008 (0.27-4.2) FT3 4.7 (3.1-6.8) FT4 18.1 (12-22) After about a year adding Lio why has my FT3 lowered ?! Seems very odd. I mean I do feel quite a bit better. Still a slump
