Hello
Hi everyone, I've been Stage IV mbc since December 2019, on Ibrance / Letrozole but now facing a change. Those drugs (with some off label drugs and naturopathic treatments/supplements) kept me stable for nearly 4 years. Now some update on my left femur, sternum and new tumors in my liver. Curious

PSMA PET Scan - Help Interpreting Report?
Hello, My husband had his first PSMA PET scan done today, and I am hoping someone who understands PSMA PET reports can help us interpret/understand the results as well as what to expect or ask for in terms of any further testing and/or treatment? My profile is updated with his history, but in a nutshell

New trial in the West Midlands seeks to diagnose early-stage ovarian cancer
Good morning everyone This post is to let you know about the SONATA trial which is looking at whether taking two blood tests together (CA125 and HE4), and using a calculation called ROMA, would diagnose ovarian cancer earlier. The researchers hope that the tests used in the SONATA trial will mean

Erleada or Xtandi vs Seizure Risk
I have had 3 unobserved and undiagnosed seizures, and want to add an ARI to my Orgovyx. My conservative MO says I do not need an ARI. My aggressive urologist has prescribed Erleada as the best ARI, and is against Xtandi. I am in a quandary over what to do. I am afraid of Erleada because "patients

16cm Fibroid
Hi all, I have just had a phone call from my doctor advising I have a large mass in my pelvic, 16cm which looks like a fibroid. I’ve had pain and bloating for the last few months which is why I had the scan. It’s caused me a lot of worry as the doctor said ‘they think it’s a fibroid’ so now I’m googling

Liquid Biopsy
Has anyone had experience with having a Liquid Biopsy done? It is a blood test that can identify cells in the body which may show cancer, then enabling doctors to target therapies that can help. It’s recently been approved by FDA, so insurance can pay. I just had this done at Stanford Hospital (California

CA 27.29 Blood test
My new oncologist wants to add a new tumor marker test to my regular tests for CA15 and CEA. I know these guys all have widely varying ideas on which ones - if any - mean anything. So just looking to see if you all have any experience with this. My Ca15 has always been an accurate indicator and predictor
