Brain Fog or Dimentia?
Hey warriors! So how do you know if you have brain fog or the beginning of dementia? Is it possible to blame ADT and Zytiga? My husband has been on Ellegaard for five years and Zytiga for 2 1/2. Years, he seems to have a lot of memory issues lately, and I fear it’s only getting worse Any thoughts or

PSA Bounce After Radiation Therapy
I am trying to understand PSA bounce or change in PSA levels after RT and have found two studies useful. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7465291/ https://www.nature.com/articles/s41391-021-00387-4 Some analysts distinguish between PSA bounce and biological recurrence, and see a possibility

Dutasteride Monotherapy is effective for Newly Diagnosed PCa men not on ADT
This plot shows men that either don't have PCa (Group A) or newly diagnosed men with PCa by biopsy (Group B). Neither group is on ADT. Dutasteride monotherapy (0.5 mg/day) causes an average drop in PSA of about 50% in both Groups, and an average drop of about 20% in prostate volume. In one man, his

HIPEC
Hello everyone, I was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in December, I’ve since had 3 cycles of chemo (to which I’ve had a good response) and will be having debulking surgery soon. My surgeon has said I am suitable for HIPEC. The treatment sounds quite intensive and I’m keen to hear from anyone

Declining red blood cells.
This Poollover, and I'm stage 4 prostrate cancer. My anemia is slowly getting worse. I'm on Orgovyx and Zytiga which brought my PSA to 0.78 from 12. Where do I go from here. In June I'll be 87. Terry

UPDATE
UPDATE Hi folks, I havnt been very active recently - mostly because things were going slowly, but well with my PCA. Ive just had my latest bloodwork which confirms a PCA increase with a doubling time of about 6 months. This is all very standard and to be expected - I am 4.3 years out from PSA of 1000

EGFR p.L747_T751de
Hi, Dad’s oncologist has stopped the Erlotinib as last scan in Jan showed tumour growth. Private Liquid biopsy result just back, mutation EGFR p.L747_T751de. No treatment offered by NHS, oncologist thinks will be more harmful to dad but how does he know for sure? I read some PubMed data that restarting

I'm 75 years old and during a colonoscopy today, my doctor found 10 precancerous plops and one, malignant-looking mass at the end of colon.
He is confident that it is cancer but doesn't know what stage. He has referred me to a good surgeon, whose office will call me next week to set up an appointment. Meanwhile, he gave me a referral for a "CT scan of chest, abdomen and pelvis with PO & IV Contrast." He wants to see if the cancer has spread
