Good news
Hello ladies, My mother was diagnosed with OC stage 4a in December 2019 ( her story is in my bio.) After a debulking surgery, pleural infusion drainage, and chemo, she started taking Olaparib and the disease has been stable since. I just wanted to share the good news with you, as she had a PET scan

TAPUR study
Following up on a genomics report (47 pages ! Plus 54 min consult) and came across this study (phase 2 basket trial) in the US. Essentially when exhausting, or before, standard of care options, allows patients to trial off label approved drugs using genomics to identify specific targetable variations

Feeling a bit nervous. What next?
Dear ladies, advice sought Am stage 4a and have had debulking surgery and chemo. Took Niraparib for a year but it stopped working and I had spread to my liver. I finished 6 rounds of chemo late Oct and had bloods and a CT scan. Chemo has shrunk the cancer in my liver so that was good news. My oncologist

Next steps after radiotherapy
Hi, In Oct 2023, My dad's MRI revealed that cancer had spread to few vertebral bones and has reached a rib bone. He got a PET scan and then underwent ~20 days of radiotherapy in Nov 2023. But his doctor has not asked him to do any follow-up tests after the radiotherapy ended. Is this the norm? Should

I wrote a book about MBC
Hi, I have been living with stage iv breast cancer since January of 2020. My college friend was diagnosed with an early stage breast cancer also in 2020. She recently wrote a “kids style book for adults” about her diagnosis and asked me if I wanted to share my journey to help others with stage iv

Update on Cancer Diagnosis
Correction to recent post: I should have stated that I have been recently diagnosed with Lung Cancer. I could not see anywhere that I could edit my Post.

Taxol-Anyone had experience with Taxol
I have ER+ Her2- metastatic breast cancer. Tumors at in my spine, pelvis and a couple ribs. Up to this point in time I have been on Hormonal therapy regimens and the latest one (Orserdu) has failed. My Dr. is now suggesting Taxol (Paclitaxel) IV Chemo treatment. Anyone have experience with this drug?

SE's on Cabazitaxel/Carboplatin Combo
Fellow chemo warriors: I'm hoping your experiences can shed some light on my latest treatment variation. Long story short: I had 3 docetaxel infusions with zero side effects. Unfortunately, the response was only partial, so last week I started on Cab/Carboplatin combo. This has been a very different

PMR again ?
I stopped pred on 8th October after 4 years and was OK until now. I have developed stiffness and aching in hips down to knees and am wondering whether the PMR has come again due to stress. I was diagnosed with breast cancer on 11th October and am currently on Letrozole to (hopefully !) shrink the tumour

New Approach to Resistance
A male neurobiologist, with metastatic breast cancer who studies genetics, developed a new idea to deal with treatment resistance based on the same way Farmers protect their fields from pests. Farmers rotate the pesticide chemicals they use on their fields so that they are never chronically spraying

Anyone had an increase in bone/joint pain after being on Ibrance and Letrozole for a few years?
I was diagnosed Metastatic BC with a lot of bone mets back in June 2022. The Letrozole and Ibrance eliminated the visible bone mets and pain was better. Last scans still show no progression and those were just a month ago or so. The last few weeks I've had terrible pain in my knees, left shin, and

Prostatic Artery Embolization
I’m 67 year old and have been suffering with BPH for years. Don’t want to do TURP or lasers. I’m interested in doing PAE. Has anyone had this procedure done. Does it work. I had a cystoscope and the urologist found a medial lobe at the neck of the bladder. Would PAE work if the blockage is located there

PALB2 Stage 4 A prostate cancer treatment plan.
My Partner has stage 4A prostate cancer spread to the nodules and has the PALB2 gene. How effective is internal and external radiation and ADT as the first line of treatment? Why can't the drs start with PARP inhibitors and chemo which is the standard of care as a second line treatment? Is it because

Ethanol Ablation
Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has experienced Ethanol Ablation on thyroid lobe? The last post I can find was 2yrs ago. I guess it must be more in use now. My husband was scheduled for right lobe removal operation next Thursday then received a letter from his Consultant yesterday saying that on checking
