3 Years After Stage IV Diagnosis
It was three years ago today that my wonderful, sweet husband was diagnosed with Stage IV prostate cancer. I can still remember the shock when we heard the news. We thought his diagnosis meant he would die soon. We didn't know at the time that if you respond well to treatment you can live years with

Bladder advice needed
Hi guys Had radiotherapy two months ago, and the following CT scan has shown a thickening in the bladder wall. This has coincided with changed bladder symptoms - increased frequency needed and decreased flow (usually just dribbling to start with). I’ve got an urology appointment next week for a possible

Prostate cancer test confidence…
I recently requested a physical prostate examination and a PSA test after suffering weeks of constant feelings of a need to urine. I had both of the tests as well as a urine test and was told that everything seemed fine. I was reassured by this, but have since read that both the physical examination

Former art teacher with a passion for travel
Former art teacher. I started traveling in my fifties and it became my passion (I’ve visited 41 countries so far!) until Covid and then my stage 4 diagnosis came. Diagnosed with IDC stage 3 in 2015. My great-grandmother had breast cancer in the 1920s, and an aunt had it when she was in her mid-eighties

Problems with constant urge to urinate…
I am a 68 year old male who, 5 weeks ago, developed a constant urge to pee. After 2 or 3 days it seemed that the problem didn’t seem to be shifting, so I visited my GP surgery, and was given tests on my prostate gland. These took the form a physical rectal examination, and some PSA blood tests, and

Confused about doublet therapy vs triplet therapy for prostate cancer
Hi all, My dad was recently diagnosed with stage 4 advanced metastatic cancer that’s spread to his bones, Gleason 4+5. He was in good health prior to this and came as a shock to us all, he’s 65. We are now trying to figure out the best treatment plan for him. His MO treatment plan is ADT (zoladex) +

Bone pain
Hello everyoneI'm 53 and have triple negative metastatic bone cancer. Found out when my femur fractured last October. I'm on Xeloda. My bones in hip and knee are starting to hurt more, even though my last PET scan was clear. Why is this happening?

Amelanotic Melanoma
Whilst amelanotic melanoma is relatively uncommon fatality rates tend to be higher because they often go undetected for longer, are often misdiagnosed because they mimic other skin lesions and are therefore commonly diagnosed at later stages. Any subtype of melanoma can be amelanotic. They can appear

Can Biopsies Cause Mets?
I understand the slow development of prostate cancer as it attaches itself to the gland (10-15 years) until it tricks the immune system to settle and hence the Gleason grade. But when a needle gun hits a cancerous core and there is bleeding, does that mean cancer cells get released in the blood? Has

I am frustrated and feeling more vulnerable and overwhelmed than I've felt during most of my 19 year journey with MBC. On day 5 of 7 days off Xeloda, second round of two weeks on, one week off. I phoned the cancer center either two or three times yesterday and twice so far today. On top of that, I
