Lumbar nerve impingement
I responded to another post about index numbers on scans. This generated a question about symptoms from the nerve impingement that showed up on my recent MRI. I decided to answer in a new post. My MRI showed a new lesion pressing on the root of the nerve where it leaves my third lumbar vertebra. Here

3rd Rituximab Infusion One to Go!
I believe that the Rituximab infusions seem to be working. WBC back in normal range. RBC up but still a little low. My Haptoglobin has stayed the same at 14 which it has been for every test on record since September. I am wondering if anyone knows why that is and if I should be concerned. Thanks CBCWD

Next Treatment Step
Hello all, I need to make a decision on my next treatment step and would appreciate any suggestions (sorry for the long-winded post).

Dexamethasone transition - process?
Hi all! As a follow up to my last post, our MO has prescribed 0.5mg of dexamethasone to be taken with Zytiga. That's miracle #1! Miracle #2 is that we got an appointment with Dr. Deanmeade at Johns Hopkins to discuss BAT. (My previous post detailed that my husband's PSA is rising rapidly - doubling time

My Oligometastatic Journey Update
Hello all and happy new year, I have been a reader and sometime participant on this forum for a few years now, but while I’ve referenced my situation occasionally I haven’t posted a bio and don’t think I’ve detailed my history much in general. I got a private message today from a member that got me

Rituximab, given weekly for 4 weeks experiences?
I begin my treatment for cold autoimmune hemolytic anemia, in January 2022 with a single agent of rituximab, given weekly for 4 weeks. This will include dexamethasone with the treatment to reduce any allergic reactions. I know each treatment is different for everyone, but I am wondering what it was like

Hello my bothers and sisters. I wish I could say that this week has been better than last, but that would not be true. There have been some areas of encouragement but not many. As I have been writing these posts I have recognized that I haven't shared this level of detail with my family. I certainly

Post rituximab drop in immunoglobulins
I had severe platelet and neutrophil levels at diagnosis, and they did not recover until 4 days of high-dose dexamethasone after my eighth rituximab infusion. I am now back in mild neutropenia and my immunoglobulins have dropped below the lower limit of normal. Have othes seen this?

Chemotherapy Maintenance
I have now just started chemotherapy maintenance with Pemetrexed. Hopefully the side effects won't be as bad as the combination I've just finished. Still on the Prednisolone for the inflammation of my right lung due to Radiotherapy side effects. On a reducing scale now but stopped for a couple of days

Losing my determination
I was diagnosed with NSCLC in mid 2019 after extensive tests at a hospital with a specialist dept for diagnosis and forward treatment. One primary tumour in each lung and 2 lymph. They passed me over to the Oncology dept once diagnosis was complete. First was Pembrolizumab which gave a tangible improvement

Completed 10 whole brain radiotherapy sessions
Hello Everyone, Hoping you are as well as can be. 10 days ago I finished WBRT. I was diagnosed with progression to brain in March this year after a year previously being diagnosed with lung, liver and low volume bone mets. I'm surprised that I managed to dodge the radiotherapy for 7/8 months! I have

Newly diagnosed bechets
Hi all, Iv been back and forth between rheumatologist, eye consultants, dermatologist and the rest for over a year and a half now. Firstly they thought it was lupus, then porphyria, then a few others chucked in the mix - now I’m finally down to bechets with a small possibility of periodic syndrome.

Need advice
Hello everyone, My father’s PSA has been increasing since last year. His PSA went from 0.34, which was taken 3 months ago to 0.53, which was analyzed today. My dad’s scans in the summer showed no progression thankfully. However, after today’s appointment, my dad’s doctor wants him to start chemo but

I’m confused! I did do almost 2 months ago a single half dosage of chemo. But my results have been insane
My PSA has dropped from 1017 on October 1 to 642 on October 14th. Appx 7 weeks ago I did 1/2 dosage chemo (Jevtana) almost did me in and my platelets dropped to 6000 my hemoglobin dropped to 7.4. My PSA went only upward. So that was it for me and we stopped Now for the past 14 days my PSA has been

Palliative use of Dexamethasone in advanced metastatic prostate cancer.
What is the consensus on using Dexamethasone as a pallative option in advanced metastatic disease. I am Stage 4 currently trying a final try on chemo (forgot name). I get doses every 3 weeks. At that time they give me dexamethasone to help me feel good for a couple of days before chemo effects kick in
