Experiences with

Cancer and tumours

Hello, I’m new here 😀 in July 2024, I was diagnosed with a 3.5cm Acoustic Neuroma after having some CT scans at the hospital. I noticed my hearing was going in my right ear a couple of years ago, and thought nothing of it, until now. The ringing, buzzing and sounds of crickets is getting slightly worse

My urologist had a local pathology laboratory perform the analysis of my biopsy and it resulted in a 4+3=7. I chose radiation therapy and went to a center of excellence and they performed another assessment of the biopsy which resulted in a 4+5=9. Finally we had Joh Hopkins assess the slides and they

I joined the community over a year ago when i got a routine blood test back that was a bit high but below the threshold for further tests. Continued that way for 18 months until last week CLL was confirmed while doing a biopsy for a suspect mole and having a melanoma removed. So a double whammy. More

my dad failed zytiga and xtandi- he has a somatic BRCa 2 mutation and they are switching him To lynpraza- I am a nervous wreck and just wondering if anyone has a positive experience with a parp - he’s 81 some normal heart issues that are stable- he has bone mets and the last two Years they were stable

well 8 years ago I got the sad face from my doctor. 50/50 chance of 5 years. Now as my wife would say I’m past my expectations date. On top of that just had hip surgery on both hips. Went in for one hip, left hip ball worn out, but x rays showed that the cancer had eaten all the way across the femur

A new and hopefully potent ADC. Antibody-drug conjugates, not only for prostate cancer, are a hot topic now, so they should get better and better as competition rises. https://www.biospace.com/angiex-announces-first-patient-dosed-in-phase-1-clinical-trial-of-agx101-a-novel-tm4sf1-directed-antibody-drug-conjugate-for-the-treatment-of-solid-tumors

Hi All, I had my 3rd liver bI iopsy last Monday, This was in a matter of weeks. When I saw my liver consultant he told me I had liver cancer with a 3cm lesion. He is hoping to start me on radiotherapy once he gets the result from my 3rd liver biopsy. I have the attitude to fight this terrible disease

I had chemoradiation for oesophogeal cancer in late 2023, not seen as suitable for operation. Now have metastases to ureter ( not v usual) and am about to start more Folfox with Nivolumab for three months. Seems the prognosis depends on how well I respond to this treatment. Anyone with similar

12 years ago when I was diagnosed my biopsy came back at 4+4 =8. I was 62 yrs old at the time. I subsequently had surgery and they found the cancer was contained and I was downgraded to 4+3 = 7. I then went six years until I needed SRT, and have now gone 6 more years and my PSA is easing upwards again

Continuing on my patient-directed path of precision medicine investigation, scheduling second opinion of this imaging finding, an appropriate liver MRI and lesion biopsy. Note, it is possible this lesion is not prostate cancer, it may be something else of concern, maybe benign. Wish to share I remain

Three months ago my oncologist measured the "met" [ don't know if is cancer] on my chest and ordered a CT scan and a mammogram. Before the tests I applied a Native American med some call "black salve" to the met. It lets you know it's working for about a day and half. The tests came back no cancer.

Just wondering if anyone has experience with olaparib? I now have metastases in my liver as well as bones. I started carboplatin chemo last week after failed docetaxel and carparvotaxel treatments. Olaparib has been mentioned as a possible treatment.

Hi guys, Just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience to mine. I had a TURP op for a BHP less than 12 months ago. All going well until my PSA test 3 months ago came back as 18.5 then 18.9 one month later. Since then I have had an MRI, PET scan and biopsy which has found 5 tumours on my

My husband had his transplant in 2017. He has been ill for some time and had a PET scan 10 days ago. He has been diagnosed with Lymphoproliferative disorder. Does anyone know anything about this?

Hi! I am 19. I got my lymphedema in 2018. At the age of 5 I had a cancer on my left leg and my tight muscle was removed. At the age of 7 the cancer came back, but on the soft tissues. Another survey caused the interruption of 3 lymph nodes. A radiotherapy followed. At the age of 9, one more cancer, a

Looks like I may be starting Provenge immunotherapy soon, although I'm still being evaluated for castrate resistance. I finally found a local clinic to administer it (although I may have to go to Orlando to have the blood drawn each time). Interestingly, it is being done by a Urology clinic. Apparently
