‼ Once melanoma has spread to other parts of the body it is referred to as ‘metastatic melanoma’ at this stage it becomes very difficult to treat and prognosis is poor, so early detection, diagnosis and treatment is vital. As with all skin cancers, melanoma can often be seen on the skin, making it easier

UV exposure damage
‼ If you could see the damage you’ve already done due to UV exposure, would it change your sun protection habits? Would you check your skin monthly for the early warning signs? This image, taken with a special UV camera, show’s UV damage to the skin (on the left) that’s invisible to the naked eye.

First real night sweat
Hi All, I have just had my first introduction to a medium night sweat, having been diagnosed in June 2018. Being an 'Olympic Class Worrier', I am off course panicking. Can anyone enlighten me as to what this means in real terms. Should I wait until my next Hemo Check up, before I mention this to my

CLL and Skin Cancer
My mum was diagnosed in 2008. Fast forward to now, she is currently on Ibrutinib which has been a journey in itself. She has been on it now for nearly 2 years. So in 2020/2021 she developed SCC on her nose. That was treated with RT. And now it has been found on her kidney. For that she is on W&W. Is

EBRT or Surgery.
Hi Tall Allen or anyone, what are your thoughts on this. My urologist informs me I need some sort of treatment for my Grade 2 Gleason 7 3+4. Prostatectomy Surgery he is saying will be my best outcome. My radiation oncologist says because of my hesitancy when trying to pass urine, my retention, my slow

Cold and sore throat
Hi guys, I have been on benepali for 5 weeks and I think it's working, I still have to take some codiene and naproxen but not as much as before. I caught a cold from my granddaughter last Thursday with a sore throat, sneezing and now developed a cough every now and then. Do you know if I can carry on

PSA rising
My husband has aggressive prostate cancer. He was diagnosed 9/20/2019. Gleason score 9. Because he is 93 he is only treated with ADT. His PSA was 100.4 when he started treatment. He had a TURP and found the cancer. My question is can he start having side effects after being on ADT for 2 years.

BTW, I live by myself with no close friends and only a very

Catheter Removed
Hello my fellow brothers and caregivers. I had my Foley remove 2 days ago and man what a relief. The biggest relief was I am able to urinate on my own with a good flow and it's clear. I went to see two other Urologists yesterday and both confirmed that due to my Pca, TURP would be the best treatment
