THE UV INDEX WILL REACH 6 IN PARTS OF THE UK THIS WEEKEND, MEANING THE SUN’S UVB ‘BURNING RAYS’ ARE HIGH!’ - BE SURE TO PROTECT YOUR SKIN! Cumulative sun exposure is the main cause of non-melanoma skin cancers (the most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide) and sunburn plays a clear role in the development

EBRT SE after Brachytherapy
Well, I can say the last 3 weeks after brachytherapy have been, medically, the worst of my entire life. QOL was poor at best. Maybe I have lived a sheltered life all these years and didn’t know what it is like to really be ill or have medical issues. I do now. Brachytherapy dose was 85 Gy, 60 seeds.

Bells Palsy that never was
Hi all, I mentioned a few weeks ago that I was diagnosed with Bells Palsy', and put on prednisolone for 10 days, it didn't work, and I was sent to an ENT man, who did an MRI which confirmed that I did not have the Bells Palsy, but they found a small tumour active and moving in my left facial area. I

Just completed a whole gland TULSA procedure
This was salvage treatment after failure of SBRT by MRIdian in Mar 2020.PSA nadir after SBRT was 2.4 and it rose to 5.3 just 3 years later, when a PSMA scan showed 2 possible tumours within the gland. A subsequent biopsy confirmed local tumour recurrence with Gleason 4+4. Interventional radiotherapy

Clinical Trial with Abemaciclib and Olaparib
Hey Queens! I am reaching out to see if anyone is participating in this clinical trial. I am having a hard time deciding if this is a “favorable” option for me. I’d love to get some type of feedback from an actual patient. It’s fairly new, so any findings seem impossible to come by. Also, I’

Reaction when first diagnosed with APCa
When I heard I had APCa I was not happy of course, but also not surprised too much since it runs heavy in my family. It took a while to realize it was the first day of the rest of my life, And if I didn't make some changes it could be a short one. I went mostly vegetarian, committed to daily exercise

Orserdu
After almost 6 years of being stable on Ibrance and letrozole I now have some very small progression into both my hips. My initial metastatic disease was in my lungs. I also tested positive for a mutation that frequently happens. That being said I am eligible to take the brand new drug Orserdu/elacestrant

Ovarian cancer recurrence
Firstly, hi to anyone who may stumble across my post. Long story short, I was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer back in 2020. I had an ultra radical debulking surgery in August that year, followed by 6 rounds of carbo/taxol and maintenance via olaparib. I had a CT scan back in August which highlighted

Meanwhile, the report shows the lymph node is now mild uptake SUV 2.5 MAX. It was intensely radiotracer
