New here. My story.
In late November 2021, I was diagnosed with advanced Prostate Cancer. My PCa is believed to have metastasized to three lymph nodes (lower neck, diaphragm and lower back). I say “believed” because the metastasis has not been confirmed. My Gleason scores were all 9’s and 10’s. My oncologist and Urologist

Confused
After having a compressed fracture L2 six weeks ago without a reason I got a Dexa Scan my results are -2.7 thigh and -4.8 spine. My GP prescribed Alendronic Acid tabs and Accrete D3 and Calcium. He then changed his mind on the Accrete because the x-ray I had which discovered the L2 fracture said there

Spinal fusion & bone thining
Hi guy's. I recently under went a spinal fusion to try & fix a painful spinal fracture from early March, 2 weeks later I am still having the same pain when I sit or stand for too long. My Onc has already said my hips are showing wear and tear + thining but has yet to put me on any medication for this

CKD minerals and labs?
Hello. New here and new to ckd. I’m just wondering, with your lab results, when you have high potassium do you also have high everything else? Sodium calcium etc? Asking because my dad has consistently high potassium and low sodium. But right now he’s having mild edema on his legs. Our nephro keeps saying

CT Scan
Hi. I recently had a ct scan but I’ve now received a letter saying that because there was a lot of calcium they could not get clear images. I now need a myocardial perfusion scan. I don’t understand. Is this a sign I may have serious problems.

Cancer Doctor Recommends Xofigo (Radium 223) Because PSA is Rising Again After 10 Months of ADT with Firmagon and Zytiga
My PSA started rising again 2 months ago. It is now at 37. The highest PSA was 160 when this all started about a year ago. Testosterone is still negligible. Recent bone scan shows some improvement in old bone metastases but a couple of new ones just popped up. The VA oncologist is scheduling me for

Vitamin K2 Mk7
Good morning. I have just ordered this as I have learned from this site that I should be taking this with AdCal to help the absorption of the calcium into my bones. The vitamin k is once a day so should i take it with the mid morning AdCal or evening one ? Thanks very much. Currently tapering 4.0/3.5

Low resting HR on Bisoprolol
A quick question please? I’m on a low dose of Bisoprolol at 1.25mg daily, my resting heart rate is now sub 50 BPM and regularly at 42 to 45BPM. When in Afib it sits around the 90 to 100BPM mark which although uncomfortable is just about tolerable until I revert back to NSR which these days is anywhere

Swollen Knees Synovitis Update
In June I asked for advice regarding if stiff and swollen knees were a part of my PMR. I received some good advice which has helped, i.e check calcium intake which I did, with a blood test and was told by GP to stop taking calcium supplement as my levels were too high. Soon after stopping, the stiffness

Rheumy does not believe vitamin K is useful
Just got back from my first rheumy appointment. I grilled him about all sorts if things including should I take Vitamin K with my calcium. He said there is no evidence to suggest that it has any use as there have been no "blind clinical trials". I told him I had read it on this forum and he said "people

Strong Finger Nails
Since January 2019 I have been eating a plain organic yogurt every day to combat calcium deterioration. Have recently noticed that my nails are stronger than they have ever been. Just hope my bones are too. Wondering if anyone else has noticed the same improvement??

I was diagnosed with afib only one time during a routine checkup. It was never found again. I even bought an afib detector that I test myself 3x a day. I have never had any symptoms. With that said, I realize afib is a progressive type of issue. In view that I have great cholesterol numbers and nothing
