Does this sound right? Really confused
In May this year my routine B12 blood test was 240 (range 170 - 800) with the lab commenting that less than 250 can be considered a deficiency in a symptomatic patient, especially the elderly. Because I have been very fatigued for a very long time (the reason for my clinic visit), my GP started me on

AMA 2 results.
My daughter has a positive AMA 2 reported back not as a titre but as 2560.0. Also ANA positive, speckled titre 80. Does anyone know what that means and how the AMA 2 result can be translated to titre. Thank you

New PSMA ligand treatment with less side effects than Ac225?
I am in a mental quandary. After reading a out xerostomia(dry mouth, often permanent), I am seriously considering cancelling the Ac225 and just going with a prostatectomy along with having more APCEDEN vaccines made. Have been stable for 2 full years confirmed by PSMA PET scans now using the vaccines

Very confused about ANA test?
Hi there! I have Hashimoto’s + hypothyroidism. I had a full ANA panel done. My ANA screen was positive. Anti-Chromatin antibodies were positive and Anti-Ribosome antibodies were positive. But the DSDNA was negative. The lab results said consider lupus or mixed connective tissue disorder. I have no symptoms

My Cancer Is Going Strong & A Warning
First, the warning. A week ago, I was in the airport in Bucharest, Romania after finishing a Danube river cruise. I set off an alarm and was taken out of line for a Geiger counter check. Five weeks after my VISION Lu-177 infusion and I was still radioactive! Romania had a radiation terrorist attack

Update on Labs
As a result of some of the helpful comments from fellow warriors I began tracking the blood levels below in addition to my compulsive monthly focus on PSA. The oncologist has had me getting a comprehensive metabolic test every 2 weeks for the first 3 months on Zytiga to see how it affects the kidneys

Looking for data-
Looking for data-currently on taxotere and just finished 3rd infusion- Sharp increase over 200 points in Alk pho’s and AST, ALT. Yes I have bone and liver Mets- but this is second rechallenge with Taxotere after first in 2016- numerous treatments- Xofigo Xtandi Zytiga - You would think if taxotere is

Enzalutamide + Abiraterone Acetate in Bone CRPC
New study below [1]. Abiraterone [Zytiga, Abi] & Enzalutamide [Xtandi, Enza] both target the androgen receptor [AR] axis, with Abi limiting the supply of androgens & Enza restricting access to the AR itself. It might seem worthwhile to combine the two, but that would depend on how effective the drugs

Latest labs look good?
Here's the deal. I've felt terrible since June 2017 when I was diagnosed with postpartum thyroiditis. I likely had Hashimotos for many years prior but wasn't ever diagnosed. At the time of dx, my TSH was over 100 and free levels were tanked. Symptoms flooded in over the following months including crushing
