How long after chemotherapy you return to your "normal" pre chemotherapy?
Between March and July 2022 I had six rounds of Docetaxel + Carboplatin and I dont seem to recover ,mainly fatigue. Can not bring myself to some decent level of energy. my pre treatment Karnofsky index was 90-100 , now it is 70-80 š I'm also doing Lupron shots and Nubeqa which of course contribute

Sorry I have not posted for a while
I am really sorry no one has heard from me for a while. Sadly I have not been too well being struck down with a nasty coughing /flu like virus( not Covid). So last chemo was postponed.On top of this my haemoglobin has dropped to 68! So I am completely exhausted. Blood transfusion tomorrow so hopefully

UPDATE on Abdominal distension.
Some may remember my post a few days ago. I was experiencing some abdominal distension, which I suspected maybe ascites. However, my GP assured me there was no ascites and I probably had diverticulitis.I took the advice of the kind ladies who responded to me. I was admitted to hospital yesterday with

knee Replacement
Has anyone with MBC gone off their chemo drug ( for me Ibrance) for a month for reasons to strengthen their immune system to prep for surgery? I desperately need knee replacement. My oncologist just completed a body and chest scans and I remain stable as I have for 2 years. I have been given the go

What after Trodelvy?
I was wondering if anyone came back to ormonal treatments or traditional chemo after Trodelvy failed, and had still good results. They say this treatment is the best after CDK4/6 fail for HR+ mbc and thereās liver involvement, but I was wondering if undergoing such a strong therapy could make cancer

Drug side effects
Last month I went from prediabetic to hitting 300 due to the Dexamethasone I've been having to take for my chemo treatments. My oncologist put me on metformin & it brought my level down, but now I've been in & out of the ER. Once with intestinal issues, once with chronic diarrhea & shortness of breath

Hi there, my mum was diagnosed with HGSOC stage 4 in October 21. She had debulking surgery followed by 6 rounds of carbo/taxol.

Hi, Iām a 69 yr old retired nurse. For the past nine years I have been experiencing all the common symptoms of PV and have had three embolitic events, a DVT, Pulmonary embolism and a cerebral venous thrombosis.

Glibobastoma
I was April completely healthy or so I thought. After complaining of headaches which doctors said most likely cluster headaches.. I didn't think much more of it Roll on August I received diagnosis. Stage 4 glibobastoma. This very quickly turned into major brain surgery which left me partially paralysed

Abdominal distension
I was diagnosed with HGSO grade 3 in 2021. Had 4 rounds carbo/plaxi/avastin, followed by debulking. Completed further 2 rounds of chemo. Cancer recurred within 6 months. So I was denied further surgery. I am BRACA-1. Avastin and PARP wasn't effective. Completed carbo/gem in July and subsequent PET scan

Hey guys. Glad to find this group. 81 years old- Diagnosed 7 years ago with a Gleason 9 The Onc's finally scared me into having a radical but I refused to let them take my nerves. They told me I would be gone in 5 yrs. In retrospect wish I hadn't had the radical. Info and options were very hard to come

Allogenic Stem Cell Transplant
My decision was based on the availability of a suitable donor and being able to get to remission through aggressive
chemotherapy
. Other treatments had no effect on my rapidly growing leukemia. As of today Iām still in remission, showing 97% chimerism. I understand your fear, as I too was reluctant.

Choice of CLL Treatment
HI all, Iām 53 and after 5 years Iām nearing the end of W&W and my oncologist is suggesting I start treatment due to expanding nodes in my neck.

History Question for Tall Allen or others.
I am interested in what happened to the Eclipse Clinical Trial of a few years back? I find several old calls for patients to sign up. They say it is set up as a Lu177-PSMA-I&T vs. Lupron (ADT) Trial. Sounds like good science to me but a Political Mine Field to get US FDA approval. I am surprised they

I had the standard IMRT for my pca back in 2013. I was told it was a lifetime dose. Is that true with the newer forms of radiation treatment?
