Surviving cancer: some options for you to consider
I just want to share with you all, that I was diagnosed with a T3 (5cm) Tumour called Adenocarcinoma, situated in the junction of the lower oesophagus and upper G. I (stomach) in January. Last year I kept complaining of : chest pains, sore tongue and throat, thick mucus and not being able to gain weight

update from Ruffabug (End of life plan)
A big thank you to those who kindly replied to my post of a couple weeks ago entitled HELP PLEASE TO REDUCE DOSE OF NEUPRO .To remind you I have terminal cancer with roughly six to nine months life expectancy. After reading your replies I decided not to try to reduce the Dopamine Agonist Receptor drugs

Just saying hello as a new member
I was just recently diagnosed with MBC in January 2024 but no stranger to breast cancer as I had already had a tangle with (what I was assured was a very low risk) breast cancer back in 2014 and underwent surgery for a lumpectomy and a subsequent regimen of 6 1/2 weeks of m-f radiation. I thought all

Hiccups
What medication can be used to cure persistent hiccups? Patient is not mobile and incontinent. No idea when death may occur. Or how. Hiccups are making him vomit. Wits end and hardly any sleep trying to cope. Palliative care in day for washing and pad changes. District nurse, when rarely tracked down

Meeting with our oncologist for castrate resistance metastatic prostate cancer
We met with my Dad's MO yesterday. (Diagnosed 10/22 with advanced metastatic cancer, became castrate resistant about a year ago.) He shared that the Xtandi is still blocking some cancer growth, but not all of it. His PSA is 2.8 (currently doubling every four weeks.) His PetScan shows some growth (

In need of a hug
I am sitting with my dad tonight in hospital. He is getting palliative care for inoperable brain bleeds. The night is so dark (no moonlight) and the feelings of gloom and helplessness seems darker and heavier than the day before.

They kept me alive with T3 in
intensive
care
for two weeks. I haven’t the slightest idea how much they gave me. Clearly, I need more than I have been giving myself. I am wondering about what I should do to improve my cellular function and immune response with T3.

Docxtel triple therapy?
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. My dad--81, advanced metastatic castrate resistant Diagnosed at 79 with stage 4 met 8 bones, including skull, no Gleason, never even saw a urologist. Diagnosed in ER and sent straight to the oncologist and palliative care doctor. PSA initially at 137 Lupron

Moving on to hospice care
many of you have heard from me before at this point. My dad (68, diagnosed almost 2 years ago) had his last appointment with his MO two weeks ago or so. Radium 223 is out of the picture for him as he is just not well and it would not aid his survival at this point. They suggested some radiation for the

At this time in 2013 he was still in
intensive
care
and, although out of his induced coma, he was showing very few signs of movement. For months we had no idea what kind of future he might have, if he survived.

High volume, advanced metastatic prostate cancer
Hello. I am looking for guidance. My dad (now 81) was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer at the initial point of diagnosis in the ER on 10/25/2022. It had spread to 8 bones and was all over his spine, hip, base of skull, etc, but also as far as the base of the skull, and shoulder. His PSA was

Ibrance/Letrozole Fail
Been through the wringer and back over the past month. Scans showed progression. Had bone only mets and now showing inflammation in my lungs. Had more scans and genomic testing for mutations and it turns out I have no mutations that have been studied yet. My oncologist is putting me on Xeloda and says

Our grandson was born at just 25 weeks and was in
intensive
care
for 3 months so it was this that inspired her. She was never really into running until she went to live in Australia and never thought she could run well but she has trained hard for this and is definitely now a runner.

RIP Debbie
My dear wife Debbie died last Thursday morning, aged 60. We are of course heartbroken, but Debbie is now at peace. Debbie was initially diagnosed with Parkinson's / Parkinsonism this time 4 years ago, with diagnosis changing to MSA 2 years ago, although I strongly suspected MSA a year into initial Parkinson's

What's next?
As I've written before, my husband stopped all treatment and is receiving palliative care. Just got the results of his 3-mo. PSA and it's jumped from 40 to 91. Wondering if there's any way to know if/when symptoms will start appearing due to PCa's further or worsening spread? He experiences some pain
