Oncologist phone call today was not the news we were hoping for.PSA had been at 20 past 4 months and hubby was diagnosed as stable. Monthly PSA blood work is done and this month PSA jumped to 29. Oncologist is sending hubby for another Bone and CT scan. She has suggested either abiraterone, clinical

Echocardiogram
Hi, discovered 5 months ago that I have high BP. After having 2 ECGs (nothing untoward detected), calcium ct scan (zero score) & medication, looks like finally under control. Today I've received a letter for appointment at hospital to go for echocardiogram (another doctor from my surgery has requested

Test results
Hi I've just had a range of bloods done by my Gp as I'm feeling so tired and keep falling a sleep during the day. They all look OK apart from low end for calcium and my ggt liver one. Which could be because of antibiotics I'm permanently on for my cuti or my gallbladder which I'm waiting to be removed

Slightly odd blood results
I seem to have a slightly raised adjusted calcium of 2.56 mmol/L after a blood test which is up from my usual 2.4mmol/L. I only take 1000mg vitamin D and 100mcg of K2 my level of serum vitamin D has been around 130 mmol/L for a while. I’m one year into Zoladex after RT for Gleason 9 localised PCa with

Diazepam/Valium
I managed to come off them 2 years ago when I replaced
Valium
with Codeine. One thing that amazes me is the fact that there is no similar medicine. Nothing has changed since the mid 70s.
Valium
is still the best option for me & nothing on the market comes close.

Will lowering T3 dose raise TSH?
I have been treated for hypothyroidism for the last 51 years, since the birth of my first child. For 12 years, T3 only, for 18 years T4 only, and for 19 years T3 only (since menopause). When I got a diagnosis for osteoporosis, I asked to have a T4 supplement for a T4/T3 ratio that would slow the parathyroids

Lansaprazole
Anyone had any issues with this affecting absorption of calcium or other minerals? Have a bone density problem and can't afford for it to do that. Also getting tingling in toes, fingers and lips which can apparently be a sign of deficiency. Anyone know anything about this?

No longer in NED.
I am freaking out right now. Right before I decide to celebrate with friends for my 5 year milestone, the cancer is active again and I feel defeated. I want to cancel the party next week. It’s all very overwhelming. I am ER/PR pos, HER2 neg. I’m in a lot of pain and although I am awaiting a chest

absorbing calcium
I have just started taking 1 adcal-d3 a day, but it's hard to know if you are absorbing calcium because you read of so many foods that block and leech calcium from your bones, you don't know what to eat at mealtimes.

Full thyroidectomy
This is my first time I’m posting on this forum. I had Graves’ disease was on carbimozle. 2017 diagnosed. Relapsed 2021. I had my full thyroidectomy nearly 8 weeks ago. After my surgery I had tingling sensation on my face and arms within 10 hours of the surgery whilst in hospital. Was given Calcichew

Strontium citrate
I was diagnosed with osteoporosis 10 years ago. I am now 73. I have been taking v D and calcium/magnesium and walking and gardening. But I have continued to loose BMD. I have not gone on any medication because I am reluctant to take a drug that interferes with the body's natural bone remodelling process

Not exactly PMR but advice please about post menopausal dryness.
Since I was diagnosed with PMR in 2017 I have had frequent episodes of cystitis requiring antibiotic treatment. These seemed to be made worse by the Calcium and vitamin supplement I was prescribed so I stopped taking it. But I still suffer episodes of UTI/ cystitis about once a year and now my GP has

suspected epidural tumour
Hi all! Hope you are all doing well. My dad just got his scans back, and to go along with his rising PSA (over 260 now), the said they suspect he has an epidural tumour. Our MO typically glazes past his scan results as she doesn’t seem them significant, I want to make sure I am right to be worried here

Adcal-D3
Just a quick query. Has anyone else suffered from nausea when taking Adcal-D3 chewable? I was wondering if the tablets contain lactose, as I'm allergic to it. Since having been diagnosed with a fractured L2 and osteoporosis, the RA team and my GP both recommend them. I was taking Solgar Calcium Citrate

What should I expect at the end?
My dad 77 year old had been battling castration resistant prostate cancer for many years. He was in remission for awhile (unsure exactly how long as he was secretive about the whole thing) however it made a huge comeback in January of 2022 and he has been through a short stint of chemo as well as
