Is there an "oligometastatic state" for prostate cancer (but not in breast cancer or lung cancer)?
The concept of an "oligometastatic state" is that there exists an early stage where metastases are few in number and are in some way different from metastases that develop later. It also means that there are no micrometastases in systemic circulation (in bone and lymph) and in reservoirs like bone, nerve

Worried about pulmonary fibrosis if radiating the metastasis in my shoulder blade
When I saw my radio-oncologist a few days ago and asked what is the risk for my lungs if we use radiation against the metastasis in my right shoulder blade. He said that there is a risk that it could cause fibrosis but that it does not impact breathing and that I should not worry. Today I decided to

I am livid, confused , worried and scared as hell that my ORGOVYX -ADT symptoms are mine for life.
I thought 20 tx imrt & 4 mos of Orgovyx from all the docs I talked to secured a pretty good chance of crushing my cancer AND a real good chance of having my T come back to Normal after " 4 mos". "

T " should be back to normal within the same time you were on the drug " that was the wishy

Salvage radiation fears
Right before he got wheeled back for surgery, my husband’s dr came in. I assume it was for a pep talk, but it did the opposite. He essentially said “this is a good first step - let’s get this out and then prepare for radiation”. Surgery went fine and physically he’s recovering well (although only 4

How to register with a neuroma?
In 2022, I came to Scotland from Ukraine. In 2013, I underwent radiosurgery for a brain neuroma. How can I now register and be examined in the UK? GP sent me to a neurologist and said that I had to wait 51 weeks for an appointment. Is it possible to get an examination faster?

PSMA Results
I’m five years Post surgery including removal of prostate & lymph nodes. Gleason 8 with Intraductal. Sepsis, DVT/PE after surgery which left me with chronic fatigue, brain fog and bad overactive bladder with incontinence. Four years post stereotactic radiotherapy to the left iliac area following a PSMA

Immunology clinical trial vs. Radiation?
Surgery in 2009, biochemical recurrence beginning 2017, and my slow-rising PSA is now up to 0.63, although my overall doubling time has remained pretty consistently over 2 years on average. My MO has a clinical trial in Phase I using a Listeria monocytogenes based vaccine, which supposedly seeks out

Cost of Gamma Knife in Australia?
I live in Canberra Australia and looks like there are 3 places in Australia that perform Gamma Knife (
Stereotactic
Radiosurgery
) Brisbane, Sydney and Perth. The Perth site said they are the only hospital with no out of pocket expenses and is 100% coverred by Medicare.

Might rising tumor markers be caused by infection rather than metastatic cancer?
I had a 2 cm ductal cancer, and one sentinel node, estrogen+, progesterone+, her2-, removed by
stereotactic
radiosurgery
last summer (2021) and now (late 2022) have rising CA 27-29 and CA 15-3 tumor markers, from the 40s to the 60s to most recently a bit over 100, with the CA 15-3 in the high 30s, but

Small Cell Lung Cancer and the Brain
Dr. Sahgal gives a wealth of information about brain radiation in this video presentation from the LiveLung small cell lung cancer virtual group (www.livelung.org/smallcell). His discussion of prophylactic brain irradiation (PCI) and stereotactic brain radiation has helped many of us better understand

Radiotherapy Completed
Oh, what a wonderful morning... Yesterday I completed my 25 daily blasts of fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy. Woohoo! No more daily commutes to Chelsea Marsden. Can't say I've had any side effects so far, although my tinnitus seems slightly louder this morning while listening to the radio. And

Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) offered at the Oxford University Hospitals - Churchill Hospital
Good day to you all. I am a 58 year old soon to be 59 (in two months' time) and was diagnosed with a 3mm AN in 2013 and advised to watch and wait. Had vestibular rehabilitation therapy to help with vertigo, balance and dizziness in the initial stages and again in 2018/2019. Neuroma stopped growing in

Chest Compression from Breast Implants Worsening Pleural Effusions?
I was surprised I couldn’t find any studies released to this. Obviously breast implants will not generally be the cause of pleural effusions, but if you develop pleural effusions from other causes, I would think it’s at least plausible that implants in irradiated areas where you’ve lost skin elasticity
