Mini Maze update
I had my surgery at Sheffield Northern General on the NHS. I live in Essex so my daughter and son in law took me to Sheffield and stayed in a hotel while I was in hospital. I had my surgery on 15th March, a day later than planned due to cancellation on 14th. I was told 2 different reasons, so don’t

bleeding post-op
I had endometriosis removed from ovaries about 7 weeks ago. I started bleeding just under 2 weeks ago, not heavy, but enough to fill a pantiliner & bright red. Doctor not concerned, but has booked a scan for a couple of weeks time to check. I have read periods can be longer, heavier etc after & they

Possible Adrenal Insuffiency
Some advice please. I’ve been on prednisolone for PMR since 2014. I’ve been stuck on 5mg for maybe six years. I now have two compression fractures in my spine and multilevel degeneration, so I’m trying again to reduce using Dorset Lady’s simple reduction over five weeks - that’s 0.5mg over five weeks

4th round chemo worse since surgery, started feeling sick & stomach pains 😫
Hello lovely ladies I had 3 rounds of chemo along with Avastin & although I had many side effects, I was fortunate that sickness/nausea wasn't one of them. 5 weeks post interval surgery, I had round 4 (no Avastin this round) but tummy issues (swinging from diarrhea to constipation constantly) and nausea

So today we had to bring our 7 year old beautiful Maine Coon Bella to the vet because we thought she was having dental problems. We were told that it looks like oral cancer and we want to see a specialist as soon as possible and they would need to take half of her jaw out at least and I'm so torn whether

Well today I found out that my 7-year-old sweet Maine Coon Bella most likely has oral cancer my heart is absolutely breaking. We have to take her to a specialist to make sure that is the case but either way she would need surgery that would take part of her jaw. In addition to that I had a wonderful

Update on Dan
I've been up the hospital since 10, I've only popped home for a shower and some food. The surgery went well but during the night Dan had a couple of seizures (apparently it's a risk after a craniotomy) but he is on medication and responding well. Me and his Dad went up to visit him and spoke to one
