Why did that happen?

I'm generally higher than that first thing - liver dump.
Hi There, hope you don't mind me jumping in on your post, noticed you too had a brain tumour and also Anemic , I had a benign tumour removed in 2013, last bloods showed I was Anemic , also had breast cancer in 2001 at the age of 35, and recently diagnosed with diabetes in June of this year , type 2 straight on meds but holding back taking them hoping to reverse the diabetes , I often wonder if any of my previous health conditions have contributed to the diabetes, just wondering what your thoughts were ? Thanks
 

Hi Cupcake,
Sorry to hear you also had a BT.
I had Gamma Knife treatment in Sheffield, so no intrusive surgery, but side effects of the treatment caused a TIA.
From there I seemed to go downhill, with ongoing balance problems and I was eventually diagnosed with BPPV.
Anemia and deficient D, then blood clots in both lungs - think it's too much of a coincidence!

Often wonder - what next???

Is your breast cancer all sorted now?
 
Pfff, your fine - I haven't been below 10 in 3 weeks! (Post chest infection)
 
Hi , thanks for your reply, yes thankfully with the BC I've had no reoccurrence , it has left me with other conditions , lymphodema in my arm, again fatigue, arthritis which I put down to early Menopause due to chemotherepy . You too sound like you've had your fair share of health problems .
 
Yes I have - what a pair we are!

Are you having treatment for your Lymphodema? I used to be a Fundraiser for a Hospice that did excellent treatment.
Don't get me started on menopause - I've suffered badly for over 15 years and it was the HRT strong dose that caused my blood clots!
