Protect your children’s skin!
‼☀ With UV levels and temperatures to soar this weekend across the UK - remember a child’s delicate skin is HIGHLY susceptible to sun damage and can burn within MINUTES... Sunburn in childhood is STRONGLY linked to the development of melanoma in later life. Protecting children from over-exposure

PSMA PET 2 weeks after EBRT
So my MO scheduled a PSMA PET 2 weeks after the end of my EBRT. I didn't argue and did it. Im seeing her tomorrow and will ask why. Maybe she forgot I did radiation?? Ill ask for another in 3 months. Meanwhile, the report shows the lymph node is now mild uptake SUV 2.5 MAX. It was intensely radiotracer

caught prostate cancer?
I have heard Dr. Schloz of you tube fame and one of our colleagues refer to PCA as “being caught”? Did we catch prostate cancer from a virus? I have a family history my father, his brother, my grandfather. But by far mine is the most aggressive? On my mothers side brca is present but she has had

Results from trans rectal bipsy
I had spent a week in the hospital from the sepsis from the transrectal biopsy. Back home with a midline for an afternoon IV for the next week. Strike one against my Dr. who poo-pooed the transperineal. The results were that there was cancer but still within the prostate capsule - stage 2. The doc.

My mother's good news
Hello ladies, Once again, I wanted to share the good news with you because I know how important it is to see positive stories and examples. Today we got my mother's PET results (her last PET scan was in September 2022) and they showed stable disease. She will continue taking Olaparib. We are beyond

Various Issues last three years.
2020 dark blood in stool 3 times followed by 6 mths occasional yellow, pale, mucus and stomach upsets. Seemed to clear but stool colour lighter now. I'm 77 so I hope the NHS does not see me as a done case! Three weeks ago strong left lower pain down to leg then light blood in stools and continues.

recurrence or not? (Liver & stomach wall)
Hi folks just home after a liver biopsy after a CT scan following raised CA125 of 21 (mine usually sits @ 6-7 & never went higher than 80s) raised CEA @ 57 (apparently normal is 5 or under?). Originally in 2016 I was diagnosed with stage 1C endometroid and mucinous OC - Ned since then. I had naively

CEA Fluctuations
My husband has just completed his 3rd cycle of Carboplatin and Etoposide for prostate cancer liver mets. Before the first cycle his CEA was 38 (should be <5) This number is being used as baseline. After 1st cycle it was 30.3 but after his 2nd cycle it rose to 32.7. Is it normal for CEA to fluctuate

Has anyone tried Berberine (supplement) for Afib?
In researching what supplements will help my 93 yr old mom's heart (afib has returned after two ablations that kept her afib-free for 14 months), I found a study on Berberine. She's currently on Tykosin and would stay on Tykosin, but that eventually becomes ineffective (sometimes as soon as 6 to 12

Uric Acid [UA] & PCa Mortality
I once had a gouty foot. It was self-induced - I was having a brief but intense craving for high-purine foods, particularly anchovies. (Perhaps PCa was driving the craving - lol.) At some point I looked at the PCa / Uric Acid [UA] literature (more than I expected), but it was mixed & failed to impress

New technique modifies T-Cells to cure cancer
From a publicly available site Scientists have stumbled upon an extraordinary 'living drug' in the bloodwork of a late-stage cancer survivor. A year after receiving "the biggest development in cancer therapy" in over 50 years, this patient's body was still protected by a fleet of souped-up killer

Update on breast pain with PMR
Thought I would let you know how I got on at the breast clinic, after having so many kind messages on my previous thread. It was a harrowing couple of hours at the hospital this morning, but the good news is that all is well. The mammogram that was done 2 weeks ago showed an area of concern, which

Groin pain
I had intense radiation therapy 6 months ago and all seems to be going well; however, a dull pain (sometimes pretty intense) has developed in my right groin. I can’t think of any way that I might have injured this area, and I’m wondering if there is any correlation with my treatment.

Treatment of Paediatric Brain Cancer with T3?
Report of an interesting study where T3 (liothyronine) was used to treat mice with medulloblastoma. The treatment reprogrammed the cells so they became normal rather than cancerous. The study is described here https://www.foxchase.org/news/2023-04-17-study-finds-thyroid-drug-normalizes-tumor-cells-in-pediatric-brain-cancer

Iodine avidity in papillary and poorly differentiated thyroid cancer is predicted by immunohistochemical and molecular work-up
In order for radio-iodine treatment to work, the radioactive iodine has to be taken into the target tissue. "Avidity" is how strong the uptake of iodine into the tissue is. The higher the avidity, the better at absorbing iodine, and the more likely the treatment is to be successful. Hence understanding

Cancer breakthrough as groundbreaking pill found to ‘kill tumours’
Scientists at a leading US hospital have developed a “cancer-killing pill” that kills solid tumours through “targeted chemotherapy.” Likened to a “snowstorm that closes a key airline hub, shutting down all flights in and out only in planes carrying cancer cells”, the protein was developed by a research

*colonoscopy update*
i just wanted to come on here and update on my colonoscopy results. I posted in here a month or so ago stating I had blood in my stool and pressure in my rectum. I finally decided to get the colonoscopy and he found a 2cm polyp. My doctor kept telling me he was not worried at all. Can they tell by looking
