Hello :)
I've spent ages reading the forums - didnt realise they existed until recently! I've been looking for experiences with Xolair, as I have my outpatient appointment at Papworth tomorrow and want to ask them if they will consider it for me. I have severe asthma, with allergies - which I may cope with

The morning after the day before
Yesterday was Wk 1 Day 1. Been preparing with loads of power walking, losing weight, but still got out of bed and thought: Hello calves, didn't expect that. But overall feeling good. I'm half way on my weight loss journey but still have another 1st 6lbs to go. The monkey I've got to get off

The
pleural
effusion
was not malignant when results came back so then stage 2-3. He had brochoscopy, Pet scan, another bronchoscopy and was referred to Papworth where he was told removal of lung was a curative option.

Just a quick update
I thought I had done this a couple weeks ago but I can't seem to find my post anywhere... I had the visit to the rheumy and many other visits with other specialists. Seems all is good so far with a few suprises. My ANA was positive at 1:80 and speckeled pattern. I also tested positive for Lyme

I am writing on behalf of my wonderful Dad Stan.
This last week he had a CT scan which shows he has a
pleural
effusion
, we saw the oncologist on Wednesday and he was admitted to hospital for a chest drain to be inserted, which they did on Friday, over the weekend 5.5 litres of fluid has been drained off his left lung.

Running for health
In Feb 2009 I went for a routine eye exam. My Optician sent me immediately to Bristol eye hospital due to an abnormality in my eyes. When I got there they checked my blood pressure and found it was high. 257/195 and this had pushed my eyes out of shape. I was immediately admitted to Bristol Royal Infirmary

Anyone had a spinal fusion operation?
I have to have a spinal fusion op of the lumbar region. I'm looking for any info on how to cope when coming out of hospital - showering, laying in bed, how active are you. Anything would be appreciated.

Hope even when diagnosed stage 4
I was diagnosed with stage 4 with lung spread following an episode of
pleural
effusion
4 years and a Ca125 of over 6000. To cut a long story short I was given a terminal diagnosis with palliative care only. Lucky for me I saw a wonderful oncologist who commenced taxol and carboplatin chemo.
