Preservative free dexamethasone discountined?
The consultant has requested my gp to provide me a repeat prescription for preservative free dexamethasone but my gp surgery is constantly denying my repeat prescription because they say it’s no longer available. I’m running low and it’s Easter so what should I do. Last time the hospital rewrote to the

PSA Climbing while on Zoladex and Abiraterone with Prednisone
I have an appointment with Oncologist today. Going to ask if i can switch the prednisone for dexamethasone. Not sure if they will approve it. I was scheduled to start Xgeva. As I have been diagnosed with osteoporosis due to having ADT since 2017. What other treatment should I look forward to having

Fighting a virus
My wife and I recently had a possibly surprising experience with a virus that broke through our previously robust biosecurity measures. When I went down with it, I had a slightly raised temperature (briefly + 2°C, but mostly only about 1°C above 'normal') and felt a bit ill for a few days - but was

Question about Dexamethasone with O&V
Hi everyone, I was diagnosed in Jan 23 and started Obinutuzumab 3 weeks ago - will additionally be starting Venetoclax later this week. My WBC was 32 before starting O and nearly immediately reduced to 2.5 - 5. But neutrophils have been an ongoing concern. I was profoundly neutropenic (ie 0.0) at

Using steroid cream for eczema during pregnancy, okay or not okay?
My doctor prescribed me a low dose steroid cream (
betamethasone
valerate 0.025%) for a flare up of eczema on my hands and forehead. I used it for about five days a few weeks ago and now I’m starting again as my eczema is back.

Slow rising PSA. Wait and watch?
Hello everyone My father has been on ADT since two years (Zytiga and Lupron). His PSA fell from 500 at diagnosis to 0.41 last September. Since then it has slowly been creeping up. In 5 months it has risen to 0.74. I have got his PSA tested every month so this is not a random jump but a slow increase

Reaching the end of treatment, suggestions beyond Docetaxel and Carboplatin.
1st Docetaxel in ‘21 held psa down to 8, but further treatments have been with no success. I read once that the steroid to use with chemo could be Dexamethasone 1 mg rather than prednisone 5 mg. Is there a clinical reason why? What next?

Dexamethasone
After 10 cycles of Docetaxel I'm having a break from treatment for a few weeks before deciding on the next treatment. My PSA is still rising In the meantime I've been prescribed Dexamethasone. 500 micrograms. I've read some previous posts on this. Is the view on balance this can be helpful in keeping

Thyroid or Pituitary Problem?
Sorry in advance for the long essay! Desperatly hoping for some advice. I am a 30-year-old female suffering fatigue, brain fog & migraine with visual disturbances since July 2020, therefore I stopped the COCP after a 10-year use (which was prescribed for the management of menorrhagia). Since stopping

I thought I'd provide an update. Some info may be of help to others. I met with Dr Sartor of Tulane University, Jan 10, 2023. He said my bloodwork was excellent. I had some questions. Can I go snow skiing in March? Yes. When do I have to worry about bones breaking. Dr Sartor said his recent

Mandibular (trigeminal) nerve interference... relief?
For over a week I have experienced discomfort in my left ear and jaw, with some headache also on the left side. Over the weekend the discomfort worsened a bit to the point of occasional "pain." (The issue is not one of intense pain, thankfully, but mostly of persistent ongoing discomfort of a minor headache

Started Triplet Therapy this week, new doc, new (better) treatment plan!
Started triplet therapy this week with first dose of NUBEQA on Wednesday and Docetaxel yesterday afternoon at City of Hope in Duarte, CA. "Fired" my local general oncologist whose plan was Xtandi, radiation, and Xgeva for me. She was against chemo in my case since the mets weren’t in organs. Contrast

Docetaxel guideline for Prostate cancer
Dear friends, My father’s Onco had given just 5 days prednisolone 5 mg twice a day after the day of chemo and dexamethasone 8 mg intravenous the day of chemo. Unfortunately, I have lost my dear, sweet heart father 3 months after the last chemo (8 sessions). My father PSA was only 157. It is so devastating

Looking for more wholistic answers to dealing with ITP
Hi, I am newly diagnosed since Aug. 2022 with ITP and have had two crashes with platelet levels in the single digits twice now. Last week they put me on a short dose of dexamethasone which helped and now I am getting Nplate injections weekly for a month. From everything I have read, I cannot find

Hello all, I had my 3rd infusion today of the new immunotherapy drug called JANX007. They had been giving me IV steriods and benadryl. My MO came in today and said we are going to change things up, NO STERIODS. He said the odds of having a reaction to the cancer drug was less than 10%. So he sent
