recurrence or not? (Liver & stomach wall)
Hi folks just home after a liver biopsy after a CT scan following raised CA125 of 21 (mine usually sits @ 6-7 & never went higher than 80s) raised CEA @ 57 (apparently normal is 5 or under?). Originally in 2016 I was diagnosed with stage 1C endometroid and mucinous OC - Ned since then. I had naively

Vitamin D and Iron
Hi I posted yesterday about my private thyroid results and got some really great advice. Further to that, I was wondering if anyone could help me with iron and vitamin levels. On the Thriva test, it said: Vit D: 68.4 nmol/L (range 50 - 250) Ferritin: 69.1 ug/L (range 30-150) B12: 54.8 pmol/L (range

B12 deficiency and b12 deficiency anemia
So we went to GP this evening, the antibody tests are back as negative. The GP was sat there with my complaint letter in front of her and was abit funny with us to be honest. I quoted the NICE guidelines and asked why my partner was not being treated for neurological symtoms. She informed me these are

Further info on blood panel
Hello! I posted a couple of weeks back with some questions about low B12 investigations and was about to have a very full and detailed blood panel. I've got some further info from my blood tests. I don't have a copy yet, they're on the way, so I'll have to be vague about actual numbers for some of them

CEA Fluctuations
My husband has just completed his 3rd cycle of Carboplatin and Etoposide for prostate cancer liver mets. Before the first cycle his CEA was 38 (should be <5) This number is being used as baseline. After 1st cycle it was 30.3 but after his 2nd cycle it rose to 32.7. Is it normal for CEA to fluctuate

Fibre in the diet
I have probably written about this before, but I am really unsure where to go. So it appears that lots of things play up with my stomach particularly fibre. I tried porridge (smooth quick cook) this within half an hour will give me stomach ache and many trips to the toilet tmi. I then tried peanut

soft, sticky stool which is hard to pass - any advice?
I feel embarrassed describing my poop but am at the end of my rope with my gut issues. I’ve had IBS for 25 years but the last 5 years have been non-stop, daily issues. Over the last 4 years I have had endless tests. A colonoscopy and gastroscope in 2019 which was clear, a clear ct scan later that year

Stopped taking Linaclotide (Constella/Linzess) for chronic (idiopathic) constipation, a new medicine for me to try.
So I finally had my consult ('second opinion') in Leuven (Belgium) at the gastroenterology unit of the university hospital, after I did see a specialist at the gastroenterology unit of the university hospital in Groningen (The Netherlands) beginning this year. The specialist I spoke with also doesn't

R-CHOP Treatment
After FCR chemo 15 years ago and numerous oral medications since I am in chemo again. They tried a milder chemo to reduce my lymph nodes (they were huge). Some success, but not as much as I needed. So now I've had one round of R-CHOP. All that it has done for me so far is take my wbc's to 0.4. I'm

Has anyone tried Berberine (supplement) for Afib?
In researching what supplements will help my 93 yr old mom's heart (afib has returned after two ablations that kept her afib-free for 14 months), I found a study on Berberine. She's currently on Tykosin and would stay on Tykosin, but that eventually becomes ineffective (sometimes as soon as 6 to 12

Uric Acid [UA] & PCa Mortality
I once had a gouty foot. It was self-induced - I was having a brief but intense craving for high-purine foods, particularly anchovies. (Perhaps PCa was driving the craving - lol.) At some point I looked at the PCa / Uric Acid [UA] literature (more than I expected), but it was mixed & failed to impress

Serum B12 versus active B12
Dear members My GP results for serum B12 on 21st June showed 832 ng/l (197-771). My active B12 from Medichecks on 25th Sept is 70.8 (37.5-188). Do I need to supplement? I do not take any B12 supplements at present as my serum b12 has always been high/over range which I find a little worrying as
