Hi. Just looking for someone to talk to really. I've posted about this before a few months ago and unfortunately I'm still on the ride no one wants to ride. I found a lump in my arm a few months ago. Was fast tracked for a ultrasound which showed...
Second question from me I should have added this in my recent post. I know it sounds silly and my head is going in circles. All my GP is saying is "i can't interpret any results until you go for your scans". I asked my GP can Lipomas cause blood results...
I have a relative who is going on holiday on a long haul flight a month after the last chemo treatment . There will be a positive well being effect but anything to be aware of when travelling please?

Hi I have been diagnosed with GIST. it is in my stomach. It is very small at 1.5cms. No biopsy has been taken due to size. Is there anyone who has been in similar position? I have a lot of pain which seems unusual. I wasnt thinking this was due to such...
