Help with understanding test results?
Hi everyone. In the last 18 months I have had many strange (and as yet undiagnosed) symptoms. Too many to list on here and not bore you all to death but my main worries are leg pains (intermittent claudication), leg weakness/pain, tingling hands/feet, fast heart rate when walking, left sided chest pain

Doctors surgery wont give me blood results

Awaiting biopsy results. What are next steps?
Hi. I posted on the Advanced Cancer network a few months ago. My husband has had a rising PSA for about 4-5 years. He is 49 now. He has had one biopsy about 2.5-3 years ago. That one didn't show any cancer. Then, he had an MRI last January b/c the PSA was still rising (it was 4.9 after being 2 something

Insurance denied IMRT!
Has anyone ever been denied IMRT by insurance?! It has now been several weeks since we found out my dad’s tumor pressing on his heart is no longer stable and is slowly enlarging. So far from 4.2 to 4.9 cm but that was several weeks ago and could be changed by now. He has a 5 inch blood clot because

Final Test Results in including Free Thyroxine.... am I converting efficiently??
My Doctor sent me for tests (see results below) and which very helpful and knowledgeable Seaside Susie commented upon. Unfortunately the doctor did not ask for my Free Thyroxine to be tested so I had to get that done via Medichecks. My suspicion is that I am not converting very well. Medichecks TSH 1.99

Radiation dilemma! IMRT vs Proton
Hi, I have another radiation question if anyone has any opinions or help that would be greatly appreciated! The mapping is complete now for my dad and the tumor next to his heart causing the SVC syndrome. The verdict came back that on paper it shows IMRT would be slightly less radiation to the heart

Thyroid function tests in patients at the emergency department compared to a prior healthy setting
If T3 (whether total or free) is almost never measured, whether in a health examination, in emergency care or even in those with thyroid disease, you can't make this type of observation. Yet again, as TSH remained stable despite reduced T3, the status of TSH is undermined. [i]
