Barrigel and markers
This Wednesday I am scheduled to have barrigel and markers. Doctor told me to take two extra strength Tylenol an hour before the procedure as well as one Valium. Also, antibiotics. Is the one Valium enough to calm me down as I am pretty anxious about the procedure? Has anyone else who has had these?

Dad with Stage 4 PCa - Need some words of wisdom...again please!
Hi everyone. Just got back from appointment with Dad's oncologist. To keep you up to speed - 3 months ago, his ADT injections stopped working and his PSA started to climb up slowly. Oncologist put Dad on Enzalutamide - been on it for 6 cycles - tolerated well but his PSA has gone from 76 to 87 in one

Diagnosis- ish
Hi everyone, Hope you are well. I have seen a gastroenterologist for issues with swallowing. He has diagnosed the following: intermittent dysphagia. Slight incordination of motility via barium swallow. I also had a high resolution manometry. They said reassuring noromotensive lower oesopageal sphincter

Ringing in ears
Im a 53 year old male .A few days ago I started getting ringing in the ears . This has gotten progressively worst and I went to the GP yesterday to get my ears checked out. He saw there was some ear wax blocking the ear and did a tuning fork test which seemed to suggest some blockage . I have been wearing

Treatment after Lu /Pluvicto?
It seems that there is paucity of data related to the effectiveness of treatments after Lu/Pluvicto. I'm beginning to suspect that pubished survival benefits for Radium 223/Pluvicto and chemotherapy cannot be assumed to be anticipated if the patient has had Pluvicto. My husband has completed 6 sessions

Valium for the flight
morning all. I had a CA in 2019 and it’s been a long road building up my confidence and trust again but I’m goin on holiday soon but Iam starting to get very nervous about flying. What if I take ill on plane? I’ve heard people take a Valium before flight if nervous. Would that be ok on my heart meds?

HNY!... and a warning for those who lead busy lives (aka all of us)
Firstly, I'm conscious I haven't posted in a while. 2023 has been a tumultuous and stressful year for me personally which involved a very close family member being diagnosed with cancer at the start of the year and much of my life for the next 6 months revolving around that. It's not why I'm here, but

Olaparib and Radium 223 synergy ?
I seem to recall seeing that there was a trial on seeing if there was synergy to taking Olaparib and Radium 223. But can not find it. Anyone have any knowledge of this? I'm BRCA2 mutated and currently taking Olaparib, and considering Radium 223. Thanks.

Simulation
I had my markers and spaceoar placed last week and have an appointment for my simulation tomorrow. The valium helped with my procedure last week-I wish I had taken some before the biopsy. Will I need to take something before the simulation, or is it pain free?

Chemotherapy or Pluvicto
I just completed Radium 223 treatment. PSA has been doubling since I failed Zytiga. Last scans show progression. I am offered chemo or a trial with Pluvicto. The cancer is throughout my bones. What should I do. I have had chemo at the beginning of this journey and it worked then.

SpaceOAR placement day after
For anyone considering SpaceOAR rectal spacer, here's my experience one day after the procedure. While I see some have had this done under anesthesia, I did not. It was not presented as an option for me, and after going through it, I don't know that it would be necessary unless you have a very low tolerance

Could I try BAT to restore sensitivity to previously used antiandrogen treatments.
I failed Abiraterone and SOC doesn't allow the switch to Enzalutamide. I was reading on the use of BAT to resensitize mCRPC. Would this be a therapy that could work or is it too late now that I have failed. I know its not SOC but I am running out of choices and looking for some clarity. Its basically

Enzalutamide any advice/tips for dealing with side effects
Stage 4 PCA for last 3 years. Had 6 cycles of Chemo and then Abiraterone for 18+ months (PSA dropped to 0.2 then more recently rose to 58 in June '23 ). Abiraterone eventually stopped working and I was able to join Radium 223 trial. Completed 5 of 6 cycles of Radium 223, then elected to stop since scans

vaginal estrogen and vag valium question
I was wondering if any of you lovely ladies are using both vaginal estrogen cream and vaginal valium suppositories. I'm supposed to insert a valium suppository every night (10mg) and I also insert 1 gram of estradiol cream three nights a week. I'm worried that the valium will keep the estrogen cream

iron lab results 10 weeks post iron infusion
I have had four iron infusions in the last 2 years. 10 weeks ago I received Injectafer 1000 mg with so-so results. I had seen a hematologist at my neurologist/Sleep specialist’s urging out of his concern for my out of whack lab numbers. The hematologist was not concerned. I gave my sleep, specialist

MRI-guided transperineal biopsy hurt so much
I'm curious if folks have recommendations about how to reduce what was an unbearable pain from the biopsy. I almost passed out and the thought of my next biopsy gives me cold sweats. What hurt was the process of the anesthetic injections. Each one at a deeper layer. It's clear that the anesthetic did

Others don’t understand
I know we’re all usually talking about our meds, but I’m wondering how everybody is faring when trying to explain to others what we go through. I’ve had my adult children question why I take oxycodone. Some seem to understand, some are very judgmental. RLS can start at 10:30 am, and is why I’m spreading

stomach ulcer
I went to the doctors a few days ago and explained my symptoms mainly bloating, burping and a sensation between my belly button and sternum not so much a pain just a sensation and he said I had a stomach ulcer without even testing ? I had a barium swallow a few years ago and it showed no signs of any
