Not about PCa, but worth checking...CRISPR in oncology phase 1-2

Good news
Hello ladies, My mother was diagnosed with OC stage 4a in December 2019 ( her story is in my bio.) After a debulking surgery, pleural infusion drainage, and chemo, she started taking Olaparib and the disease has been stable since. I just wanted to share the good news with you, as she had a PET scan

TAPUR study
Following up on a genomics report (47 pages ! Plus 54 min consult) and came across this study (phase 2 basket trial) in the US. Essentially when exhausting, or before, standard of care options, allows patients to trial off label approved drugs using genomics to identify specific targetable variations

Chose Cosmetic surgeon to check mole or wait 4 months for dermatologist?
How can I ascertain, whether the skin lesion at the ear lobe is indeed Basal Cell Cancer as suspected by dermatologist after visual and manual inspection of the area and referred me urgently because of somewhat unclear colour. So only 16 weeks wait instead of 2 years My private health insurance

Feeling a bit nervous. What next?
Dear ladies, advice sought Am stage 4a and have had debulking surgery and chemo. Took Niraparib for a year but it stopped working and I had spread to my liver. I finished 6 rounds of chemo late Oct and had bloods and a CT scan. Chemo has shrunk the cancer in my liver so that was good news. My oncologist

Next steps after radiotherapy
Hi, In Oct 2023, My dad's MRI revealed that cancer had spread to few vertebral bones and has reached a rib bone. He got a PET scan and then underwent ~20 days of radiotherapy in Nov 2023. But his doctor has not asked him to do any follow-up tests after the radiotherapy ended. Is this the norm? Should

Update on Cancer Diagnosis
Correction to recent post: I should have stated that I have been recently diagnosed with Lung Cancer. I could not see anywhere that I could edit my Post.

SE's on Cabazitaxel/Carboplatin Combo
Fellow chemo warriors: I'm hoping your experiences can shed some light on my latest treatment variation. Long story short: I had 3 docetaxel infusions with zero side effects. Unfortunately, the response was only partial, so last week I started on Cab/Carboplatin combo. This has been a very different

PMR again ?
I stopped pred on 8th October after 4 years and was OK until now. I have developed stiffness and aching in hips down to knees and am wondering whether the PMR has come again due to stress. I was diagnosed with breast cancer on 11th October and am currently on Letrozole to (hopefully !) shrink the tumour

However in November 2022 I got the worst news ever- I had cancer - by December 25th I was laid in hospital after

Prostatic Artery Embolization
I’m 67 year old and have been suffering with BPH for years. Don’t want to do TURP or lasers. I’m interested in doing PAE. Has anyone had this procedure done. Does it work. I had a cystoscope and the urologist found a medial lobe at the neck of the bladder. Would PAE work if the blockage is located there

WHAT ARE THE CURRENT EFFECTIVE SALVAGE TREATMENTS IN CASE OF A REOCCURRENCE IF YOU HAVE HAD SBRT,IMRT, WITH PLACEMENT OF GOLD BARS?
It appears that if you had SBRT or like myself IMRT and you were given
gold markers
you cannot do any of the following
salvage treatments in case of a reoccurrence
: Proton therapy, Hifu, Tulsa Pro , Etc. Is this true???? Again a significant fact left out before treatment...

anyone else feel wierd after discontinuing Piqray / Faslodex?
Hi all, my docs took me off Piqray and Faslodex a week ago. Since then I’ve had worse night sweats and diarrhea then when I was on the drugs! Plus a lingering headache and overall yucky feeling. I assumed it would resolve after a couple days but it’s been a full week. Has anyone else experienced that

Reacting to piqray.
Don’t want to worry anyone, but just wanting to know if anyone has had this reaction to Piqray. I’m into my second week. On Piqray and Fulvestrant. At first I thought it was only my bottom, (left side) near site of injection, that was itchy. Then I started feeling a prickly feeling all over my body.

Thyroid Cancer
I had thyroid cancer so had mine removed. My food only goes down my right side of my pipe and my breathing pipe was damaged as well. I seem to get a lot of chest infections on my left side. I have a horse voice all the time. I have nodules on my lungs. I have other medical issues. I suffer from depression

Fallout from PET/CT Scan
My PET/CT scan on November 1 detected progression of metastatic prostate cancer while on Lupron. This made my cancer castrate resistant and I am on Abiraterone 1000 mg + Prednisone 5 mg. The PET/CT report also stated severe coronary artery calcification. Yesterday I had CT scan of the heart. The report

Has anyone experience their CA, 125 elevated to 93? I was diagnosed five years ago and was in remission until two years ago. It came back a swollen lymph node above my diaphragm. Now I’m very concerned since the last couple of months my count has gone up significantly. My oncologist has done, pets,

Lap V Lap Hysterectomy
At the risk of summoning a barrage of 'hysterectomies are evil' replies, I wondered if anyone can help me as I am totally lost for what to do next. I am 41 and I have deep-infiltrating Endo, as many of you do I'm sure. Today I went to see an Endo specialist after an 18 month wait as he is supposed
