Does anyone have experience of Lenvatinib as a treatment for liver cancer?
I was diagnosed with liver cancer at the end of September last year, 2022. After a scan I was told that I had one large tumour and several smaller ones, that the large tumour was near the main artery and was of a size that ruled out conventional treatment, liver transplant, radiotherapy, embolisation

rosuvastatin 5mg and kidney damage
Hi everyone My doctor has put me on Rosuvastatin for my cholesterol which was 5.7. M kidney function has dropped from 57 to 49 in just a few weeks. I have just read that this statin has an increased risk of kidney damage. I have now stopped taking it. We put our faith in our doctors but I really wonder

Yellow patches on eyelids
Hi I developed yellow patches on my eyelids and under my eyes pre-transplant. Read it can be a sign of poor liver function so that makes sense, however it has got slightly worse post transplant. My liver function is excellent and cholesterol is low so I’m not sure what is causing it and my consultant

Stoma reversal
I have just had a liver transplant and went back for my first check up, everything is going so well so far. While I was waiting for my liver transplant I had an emergency Stoma surgery and had a bag fitted, the surgeon that gave me my first check up for my liver said in about six months or so they will

Immunosuppressants and Medical Marijuana
My wife had a
kidney
transplant
2 and 1/2 years ago. We will of course ask our nephrologist about it, but what are you hearing about use of medical marijuana in conjunction with the host of post-transplant drugs (mycophenolate/mycophenolic; tacrolimis/ prednisone; carvedilol)?

GFR drop 62 to 57 does that matter?
hi. I'm back with question. Reminder: i had declining GFR to 40s that began to go back up to 60 than 62. Latest it dropped to 57. Not very significant but it is back below 60. Should I be concerned or is it so close to 60 it doesn't matter?? is it likely to continue to drop? Or its wait and see i guess

Clonidine for hypertension
Hello, Does anyone have experience with taking clonidine for hypertension? My FWP has been experiencing fluctuating blood pressure (anything from 102/66 or lower to 180/90 or even 200/80 on occasions) and his cardiologist has been adjusting his meds but they don’t seem to be that effective. We

abdominal ultrasound scan results received
hi everyone, I understand this post is outside of all thing colon and bowel related. However, I’ve been asked to let proole know about my results. Plus, there doesn’t seem to be a hub for abdominal, renal and other related issues. I finally had my scan on 27th April. The results haven’t appeared on

Queen’s second try
I went to the second
kidney
transplant
center. They were nice I learned a lot. The rooms were so tiny not made for a wheelchair for sure. I still made it. I have one worry. I only have one caregiver. I’m going to have to ask some friends to help me.

Intrinsic factor antibody result
Hi all, I've only just seen the result of an Intrinsic Factor Antibody test that was done in December before I started SI which I don't know how to interpret. I got a result of 2 u/ml (reference range is 0-24 u/ml). Is that a positive or a negative result? Does that confirm PA or not? Can someone explain

Immune Responses + Autoimmune Myelofibrosis
There were some posts a few weeks ago on adverse immune responses after vaccination for people using interferons. I had this experience while transitioning form HU to Peg, firstly with a covid jab last December and secondly with the first of the Shingrix jabs in March, which triggered, at the very least

Letters of Hope: docuseries on trials and triumphs of transplantation
Hi everyone, I wanted to bring awareness to a wonderful docuseries featuring Valen Keefer, who is thriving after receiving a
kidney
transplant
as a teenager and years later a liver transplant. Maybe someone has already posted but totally worth seeing again. Very inspirational and relatable.
