Third recurrence, very worried.
I've just started Caelyx ,after my CA125 went up , always a good predictor for me. CT showed a 3cm tumour pressing on my ureter so I needed a stent to release pressure on my kidney. I had ablation on a liver tumour in August this year in the hope that I might get a break!. A CT in Sept showed me to be

Wondering if I should get a Partial Thyroidectomy?
I have a nodule on the left side of my thyroid which grew from 11 x 5 x 7 mm to 14 x 9 x 7 mm over the last 6 months. My endocrinologist and ENT believe it’s cancer. No impact on my lymph nodes. My surgery is in a few days and I’m just nervous I’m removing a part of my body that could be fine. Any

chemo break
my lovely mum just finished 6 rounds of carbo caelyx after recurrring 11 months from frontline. Her mid treatment scan showed a reduction in all tumours and post 6 a further reduction. She has a cold currently and ca125 is 113. Her oncologist said he’s very happy with her and they will go back to 3

Has anyone been taking Verzenio for more than 2 years?
I was diagnosed with ILC stage 3, HER2 negative, ER positive, PR positive in November 2020. I had a mastectomy, chemo and radiatin and my scans showed no further evidence of cancer. I have been on anastrazole and in May 2021 I was started on Verzenio. They said it is only approved to be used for 2

Bleeding Prostate
My prostate has been bleeding for the past 5 months. It wasn't a real problem until I started passing sizeable clots and had difficulty starting my flow. Urologist has suggested TURP or radiation after cystoscopy. He highly recommended TURP. Anyone else have this wonderful experience?

Need Help Interpreting My PSMA/PET SCAN

Hi! I'm new and excited to meet others and learn about your journey
Good afternoon. I'm new to the group. I already posted an item, but thought I should introduce myself. I was diagnosed with Stage 1 breast cancer in 2010. Had a mastectomy. Went on tamoxifen for 2 years, then quit because it made me feel miserable. No chemo. In 2022, I was once again diagnosed

Docs who prescribe mebendazole and metformin
HI! I am currently taking letrozole for metastatic breast cancer. I am also doing the COC protocol, but only with mebendazole and metformin. Just curious, are any of you getting mebendazole or metformin from any other docs than COC? Thanks! Sue

Diagnosed in November 2022. Favorable intermediate with Gleason 6 & Gleason 7 (3+4), with 4 less than 5%, and low Decipher score. On AS. 13 months later, one year MRI showed “concerning” images, with irregular capsule (visible), and extra capsular extension probable (interpretation from radiologist).
