Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST)

Re: Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST)

Great To chat Reuben and Jack E

I forgot to add apple cider vinegar (with the mother) in my cold-flu recipe drink. Have found that has really helped to reduce the aches from the Lupus. My cholesterol went up a little on last test so will try the lycopene supplement as well. Had a stupid fall on my knee while trying to keep out of the way from another oldie in the supermarket and now can't walk until I get to see a knee specialist. It really affects the mental health!

Keep well and keep safe

Re: Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST)

Hi Toni3,

 

I’m sorry your feeling so sick  after CT. I hope your bloods come back fine but it does sound like your thyroid has  taken up the iodine. It makes you feel pretty crappy. I’m glad no more contrast. I’m hedging you still have a thyroid gland with Hashimotos. I don’t have a thyroid anymore but they assured me with contrast I would be fine. I still don’t feel great afterwards. Endocrinologist says no more contrast. I’m happy with that. The things we learn along the way.  Wishing you a speedy recovery.
