cost of Gold Fiducial Markers
I had three markers put into my prostate to assist targeting the Xray for radiotherapy. Whereas my Medicare advantage plan Humana paid for the procedure, the office nurse said I need to pay $75 for the markers as it is not covered. Is this true??? I have found no evidence for this.

Referral from Wales to England - any experience?
Hi. I'm HGSOC stage IVb diagnosed in Feb. Just had CT scan following 3rd cycle of carboplatin/paclitaxol and 2nd of Avastin. CA125 has reduced from 374 pre-chemo to 26 post 2nd cycle which I'm hoping is a positive sign! I have spread to my liver and spleen and have been told surgery will only be an option

Will I be offered surgery?
Hi All, I have HGSOC stage 1V and when I was diagnosed just over two years ago my abdominal tumour was 15cm x 11cm with a side mass of 4cm. I had spread to the lymph nodes in my neck and chest which have now gone. After two years of chemo the tumours had reduced but are now back to square one. I was

Well, Carboplatin was a disaster - it did nothing at all so I have effectively had 8 weeks of no treatment and my cancer went crazy. I understand that sounds super negative but that's how I feel right now. So, having a scan to prove the cancer spread matches the blood work (for example my CA15 was in

Does Herceptin cause Pulmonary Hypertension
I’m new to this site and have found it to be very helpful. I was diagnosed with MBC in 2015 and was treated mostly with Herceptin and Perjeta which was very successful. However I began to experience shortness of breath and in 2019 was diagnosed with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension. A lung specialist

8 week check up
Had an 8 week check up at Herbert Herman Cancer Center today. Doc says I'm doing excellent. He ordered a PET scan a month after my final Gazyva infusion 3/20. Is this normal procedure for those on O&V 12 month course? I though I wouldn't have any more scary test until the end of treatment. On bright

Vitamin D supplements and elevated blood work

Synacthen Test looming in a moment...quick query
Morning all, I've been missing this forum due to events taking a turn for the worst. I'm at the lowest ever dose 5mg pred. Not been feeling well since January, loss of appetite, occasional vomiting, the worst insomnia and even more fatigued. Upper endoscopy showed 'sliding hernia' (gp's suggestion).

WORDS AND THOUGHTS
If it is not too much to ask, I would really appreciate your words and thoughts. I am sad, angry and frustrated with my husband's Prostate Cancer most of the time. I try to do things to take me to the calm place in my mind, but silent tears prevail. I journal, draw, paint, make cards for the homeless

Gastric cancer
I have had MBC since September 2019, being in remission for several months. In May I found out that the cancer is in my duodenum and stomach lining plus my skull. The cancer is inoperable because of where it is. Had to have feeding tube put in which is not pleasant! Have lost 34 pounds! Have begun getting
