I have just been diagnosed with Intermediate PC. It is contained in the "P" (had all the checks) Do I choose Radiation or Surgery? Surgery is to remove the Prostate completely. Your comments and advise would be greatly appreciated. Regards. Hetho.

Well, I'm at the emergency room . This day has kinda taken a turn for the worst. I got the chance to go horse back riding, something I haven't done in a while. Big mistake. I got on the horse and started out slowly, but I got C0cky. So we started going a little faster and before I knew it, we were going as fast as...

I have very bad bursitis in the right hip & have had 2 cortisone injections which have done nothing, however been to a chiropractor who has improved it by about 50%, however the other 50% is a bit stubborn can anyone recommend anything besides painkillers that has helped.

She was bedridden at that time. 1 month later when were busy on something i heard my...

Yea, it's the last rant! This time I received a letter telling me that I have to go and get a bone density scan, in Perth. 1st of April. (Seems fitting) May 30th, and I get to see the surgeon who did the work on me! 2 years and 20 days after the op. Again, a trip to Perth. Is there a light at the end of the tunnel. I d...

Hi all, my wife's bowel cancer decided to return after a 2 year absence. Am wondering if anyone else has experience with taking Capecitabine tablets and getting a shot of Bevacizumab while still travelling Thanks Grant

No, this is not a mad rant. It's not a cry for help, and I'm not being melodramatic. I'm not into the Facebook, or Twitter thing. Just need to tell about it In hospital 10 of May, 2017. Out 24 of May. Cost a truck load of money. Apart from the other stuff, the paperwork told me to MOVE! MOVE! MOVE! within a few...

I have posted about this before. However, I recently caught up with my neighbor, Colleen, who helped me back in 2011. She helped me fill in the gaps. I had just moved my m/bike onto it's back leg. Within a second, the pain in my lower back almost brought me to tears. I visited three local doctors. They eith...

For those who don't have or want 240 volts. We each have an Oral-B 2 x AA battery toothbrush (bar code 4210201822233) It is not as good as a 240 volt one, but it's about all I have found that is reasonable. Batteries last for weeks but we are using rechargeable & have a 12 volt AA charger. When cleaning t...

My father was given 120mg syringes of Clexane in hospital. The same dose is available at the pharmacy, but is not on the PBS. However, doses of 20mg and 100mg are covered by PBS. So, instead of a single injection, he injects himself twice, and presumably the taxpayer pays more for this inconvenience. D...

G'day All, SWMBO has Non Hodgkins Lymphoma and in 2017 went through Chemo and maintenance programs. They worked quite well and the oncologist was quite pleased with the result. Then in October 2018 she found a lump in her cheek and had it checked out by the oncologist. He wasn't sure what it was so off t...

I'm a bit of a boring old fart. Non smoker, non drinker, and have never touched drugs. I live in a small motor home, which manages to get me to virtually anywhere in the country to do volunteer work. I mentioned the following accident in GN back in 2011. Pulled my motorcycle onto it's back leg. Result was a...

Then was presented with the news that the other side of neck that had no problem at al...
