I had my 2cd thoracentesis. It was more painful and for a very long time. They did drain a little more 950 ml. I am waiting for a thoracic surgery appointment. We will discuss possible placement of a pleural catheter for drainage, possible pleurodesis. And something new: turns out a lot of the chest

Lowered CA125 and a nugget of hope 🙏
After 2 chemo sessions of carbo & taxol plus Avastin, my blood test level has reduced from 750 to 586 which is the first positive news I have received since diagnosis mid December đź‘Ź it has given me a huge boost! My CT scan is Tuesday 20 Feb to see if my huge mass has shrunk enough for surgery, if so

TRT Causing Breast Enlargement
Has anyone on this site experienced breast enlargement while on TRT? Just curious as to how common this is. Am considering it because two years after ADT. (18 months Lupron and Bicalutamide) my T level is 66, PSA .28.

Gemcitabine and Avastin (no Carbo)
Hi everyone! For my mom's second recurrence, the doctor suggested Gemcitabine and Avastin without Carbo, as she got kidney issues and potential liver mets with the last regimen with Carbo+Caelyx. Has anyone used Gem and Avastin without Carbo? Was it effective? Did you have any side effects? Thank

First post and learning as much as possible
Hi My husband is 59 and I have added as much info to my Bio as possible about him and this journey. We just found out yesterday that he is BRCA2 positive from blood germline testing. This is the first time I have posted but I have been reading everything several times a day for a few months now. He

Treatment Decision: Now considering surgery
This is a follow up to my post of a month ago: https://healthunlocked.com/advanced-prostate-cancer/posts/150423856/my-journey-thus-far I really appreciated all of the great information this team provided when I was trying to decide between surgery and radiation.

Tirosint
Its been 10.5 months since my thyroidectomy. I was at .69 TSH on levothyroxine 100 mgs a day with mega side effects. Doctors just switched me Tirosint 88 mgs a day. Am I to expect more serious changes, again. I lost my voice, got chubby, lost hair, aged, and more. Its been a life-changing experience

treatment or no treatment?
it’s been almost 3 years since i was diagnosed with a Gleason 8 prostate cancer, confined to the prostate. To date I have elected not to be treated but instead have been monitoring my PSA levels. Originally this was 6 now 15. I am 66 with no symptoms and no other health issues. I have declined treatment

Newly diagnosed metastatic PC treatment options
Hi, I'm 68 years old. Here are the key points in my story so far: In July 2023 a blood test showed a PSA value of 45. On September 26 2023, prostate MRI showed a dominant tumor in the prostate with extension into the right seminal vesicle. Also the fat plane between the rectum and prostate is lost

Tumor Markers Trodelvy
Has anyone experienced tumor markers rising after 1st cycle of trodelvy?! Did they go back down after next cycle. Doc told me they could rise due to new chemo regimen and then they go back down because of tumor markers were overloaded. I’m a little worried. Internet says “Chemotherapy treatment can

Post 2nd line chemo options
Hi everyone. I was hoping I could ask for some information. I am supporting my Mum (76) who was diagnosed with primary peritoneal cancer almost two years ago, initially thought was stage 3c and as it had affected a lymph node it was then upgraded to stage 4. She was treated with Paclitaxel and carboplatin

Caelyx side effects and duration of treatment plus follow up with target therapy or immunotherapy.
Dearest,Thank you for this great forum. Sorry to bug you again with questions about Caelyx...is that I've been reading all your post and some information does not match with my doctor told me ( tomorrow I'm going for a third opinion) >First my doctor told me the side effects from Caelyx are minimum

1, 3 or 6 month ADT?
Originally, after a prostatectomy and 40 radiation treatments, I had a one month shot of Lupron followed by a six month shot of Lupron. My PSA went to undetectable. Seven years later my PSA crept up to seven and I was put on a monthly shot of Firmagon for life. My PSA is again undetectable and all scans

Blood in Urine
Hi fellow fighters Had blood in my urine the last 10 days. Hoped it was a UTI but a course of antibiotics has failed. I had a bladder neck incision last June to help urinary flow. The urologist saw a suspicious patch and a biopsy confirmed it my prostate cancer has spread to my bladder. I’m hoping

My Bladder Cancer Update.
My latest flexy cystoscopy showed I had no tumour in my bladder, backing up what was said in Autumn 2023 and that was a complete turn-around. Seems my BCG has worked in as far as there si no tumour growth. I still have cancer cells because I have cancer in situ (CIS) but at moment is low grade. So
