Hospice
Sharing that my daughter and I are meeting with hospice for in home hospice care this afternoon. I was going to wait for one more CT scan and oncologist visit, but this past weekend I spent the whole weekend in bed and had so much weakness and breathing problems that I can't put it off any longer.

another step in the right direction: AI Tool Precisely Matches Cancer Drugs to Patients
"In a proof-of-concept study, researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH, Bethesda, MD, US) have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that leverages data from individual tumor cells to predict how well a person's cancer might respond to a specific drug." https://www.labmedica.com

colonoscopy and endoscopy concerns
I am scheduled to have a colonoscopy and endoscopy in 1 week. My last colonoscopy was 8 years ago and the two colonoscopies before that found nothing but hemorrhoids ( all colonoscopies were pre CLL diagnosis in Oct of 2017). I have never had an endoscopy but I do have a cough that seems to start after

In vivo & in vitro: CRISPR 9 new approach to attack PCa proof of concept
The idea is to use the CRISPR technology to tweak prostate cancer cells so that they build up a specific type of compound (called porphyrins) that is usually harmless unless exposed to certain types of light. In people with a condition called porphyria, these porphyrins naturally build up because of

What happens when CT scan and ultrasound can't verify if it's an ovarian mass or not?
I (post-menopausal 52 y/o) went in to urgent care about a month ago with stomach pains. Doctor thought it was a ruptured appendix, but sent me for a CT scan to verify. Turns out it was diverticulitis, but on the CT scan they noticed a a complex cyst on my left ovary, however they couldn't be sure if

It wont be long
Hi All I have seen my Consultant today and she said it is time to start thinking about treatment. Not what I wanted to hear but after 14 years W&W I guessed it would come one day. She will arrange a CT Scan to check on Tumour burden (I think thats right) then just waiting on this. TP53 - deletion
