Does biopsy spread cancer?
I've been diagnosed with Stage 2/3 PC. I wonder whether biopsies, by piercing the prostrate wall, allow cancer sells to migrate outside the prostate. Certainly e-coli can be pushed into it, since I got sepsis from my directed biopsy. What is the danger of METS being introduced to organs outside it with

Adding Kisqali to Letrozale treatment
It was just suggested to me to add Kisqali to my treatment of Letrozole. I am "cancer free" since I had a masectomy and everything was taken out. Are there any others on this chat with the same experience?

Docetaxel not working so stopped
I promised I would update you after my scan to see how the chemo was progressing. Well, the main reason for the chemo was that spots had appeared in my liver. Last week's CT scan showed that the spots have grown "significantly" so the chemo is not working. Also, my liver function blood test results -

HIFU 2023 article does not seem positive
This article from early 2023 does not seem positive on HIFU. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00345-023-04352-9 I have a friend looking at HIFU in the setting of a clinical trial. He's Gleason 6 with just 1 of 12 portions of his prostate affected. Technically, he could do active surveillance

How long can Asthma flares last?
Hi I’m in to my 5th week now with a tight chest and struggling to breathe. A&E couldn’t find anything untoward and GP could only offer stronger antihistamines and Montelukast which I have reluctantly started a few days ago. The worrying thing is that my peak flow isn’t too bad but I still have the tightness

Promising, especially for people with LBD mutation: NEJM Evidence publishes results from Phase I/IIa CYPIDES trial with ODM-208

SBRT #4
Update on yesterday's SBRT #4. The machine that is treating me (Varian Edge) takes two revolutions to administer the fraction.

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

Anyone Know About Silent Reflux
Following on from my experience of asthma flare up I'm wondering if like Cade in his post about breathing problems whilst exercising, if I could have silent reflux. It was shortness of breath that led me to seek medical treatment, and even though I had no wheezing or cough the hospital concluded it was
