Help! Raised serum organic phosphate levels
Hello everyone... A month ago I posted after being concerned about a raised organic serum level. 1.89. After a change of diet and a retest there is no significant difference it’s now 1.84. The normal range is 1.40. All other bone profile and renal rests are fine as is the parathyroid level. I know

Unsure of best option in early prostate cancer diagnosis.
I have had PSA tests annually for 10 years and in Oct 2023 had an elevated 6.42 result. Was referred to a urologist, whom performed a DRE. There was prostate enlargement but no tumor discovered through DRE. After discussing several options, I decided to have a biopsy on Nov 21, 2023. Dec 5, 2023,

I am still struggling with treatment decisions - Help please.
I am struggling to decide on my treatment. The main point of conflict is HT or not, and LDR Brachytherapy (if I am eligible - because of a previous HOLEP) or IMRT. I also wonder if I should push hard for a 10-day earlier consultation at the risk of bad feeling. I welcome advice. In the UK - Referral

Scared of the Future.....
My husband (42M) has been having the feeling of needing to use the bathroom 7-10 times a day, and it always comes out as gas or diarrhea, loose watery stools. I had him to our primary doctor and get some tests run. All of his bloodwork has come back ok, his platelets are a little high, but his iFOBT

Staying on Ibrance & Anastrozole after 2 recurrences
I’ve been on Ibrance and Anastrozole for the last 6 years for metastatic endometrial cancer. I started out on the Ibrance125 mg and after a couple of years, had a problem recovering on the week off, so my dose was reduced to 100 mg. By spring this year, the counts could not recover on the week off,

Squamous cell Carcinoma
HERE’S WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR: Small, hard white or skin coloured lumps. SCCs often first appear on the skin like this. A persistent, scaly red patch with irregular borders. These can sometimes crust or bleed. An elevated growth with a central depression A growth of this type may rapidly increase

Heliocare
I am going to post this and everyone can do with the information what they want. I wanted to bring this dietary supplement to everyone’s attention especially those of us who take meds that put us at higher risks for skin cancer from our meds. Heliocare is a dietary supplement I have kept seen coming
