Inflammation on colonoscopy
Hi everyone I had a colonoscopy today after around a year of diarrhoea, constipation, bleeding, tenesmus, BM at least 5x day and huge amounts of mucus. Lots of biopsies were taken and there were a couple areas of inflammation in my distal rectum, also some small haemorrhoids further down. The biopsy

Symptoms of Vitamin B12 deficiency - that I cannot find an answer to....
I had a low Vitamin B12 (125 mg/L) and low folate. One of my symptoms was severe pins and needles - particularly my legs, feet and genital areas. Is it common to have more severe symptoms in one leg more than the other? I have quite severe pins and needs in my left leg, and milder pins and needles

Psa doubled in less than a month
I had 10 infusions of Doxytaxel. I started reading about the consequences of CDK12 and was concerned that since I have this mutation doxy was not a treatment of choice.

Just had My Monthly Injection of Firmagon Monthly Labs PSA is Up <0.06 to 0.09
That’s pretty modest. I’m assuming I will wait till next month to see if it goes down. Kind of stressed with this new diverticulitis and blood bowel thing AND Moving. Got results of psa after I saw My Medical Oncologist so haven’t discussed modest jump. Even with bleeding from rectum the gastroenterologist

Meridian Viewray is toast. Can Cyberkife machines use MRI the same way?
Just was unenrolled in a Phase I clinical trial using the Meridian Viewray machine at Dana Farber. Meridian went belly-up in the summer, and the hospital (Brigham and Women’s in Boston) will cease using that machine in October 25th. Looking for substitutes. Thinking that Cyberknife machines can also

My Cancer Reality Check
I am having one of those “I can’t believe I have cancer and I am having to go through all of this” moments!!!! Feeling a bit low with all of this chemotherapy stuff, more doctor visits, side effects, up and down 🎢 emotions!! You guys get me. Right? Sometimes it is hard to be strong and positive!

CT scan
I started on Ibrance and Anastrozole roughly in June 2023. Took it for 2 months and had to go off Ibrance for 5 weeks for surgery. Back on it for a month. Has a CT scan which showed more bone Mets and increased size. A node in lungs which was not seen on previous scan 6 months ago. Discouraged to think

maybe I should make my conditions clearer. intussusception is when the lining of the bowel folds back on itself and makes an inverted U shape which then makes it very difficult for anything to pass through the bowel unless it is very soft, so making constipation or blockages , Like a tyre inner

Hi. I wasn't sure if I should start a new post for this, or just add to my post in Oct/Nov, so I decided to do both. I hope that's okay. I had my colonoscopy two weeks ago. Results were: - internal hemorrhoids - diverticuli - polyps (I don't know size and how many until I see my dr next week

SBRT alternative
So I've been trying to decide on what treatment I wanted to do and finally decided that I'd go with SBRT. Well unfortunately the MRIdian SBRT is going away at the end of the month. I reached out to Dr. Kishan to verify and this was the response "Unfortunately that is likely correct. We will be doing

New Study : Vitamin B12 boosts cellular reprogramming
[i]" In the context of aging, although most diets across the world contain sufficient amounts of B12, older individuals often present poor B12 absorption and, therefore, partial deficiency of B12. Our work suggests that this could in part contribute to the lower tissue repair capacity of older people
