Side effects
I do 5 mg of prednisone 1000 mg of abiraterone and Lupron every 4 months. Prednisone has been very tough on me, I've gained 29 pounds weight in two months, the muscle cramps and feet twitching are unbearable. My PSA has come down from 24 in January to 0.84 last Monday. I saw my oncologist on Tuesday

Given clear ct scan but it wasn't true
I had a lobectomy last March, 20mm metastases after bowel cancer. Got follow up ct scans May 22 and August 22, told they were completely clear. Had ct scan Feb 23, told chest lymph nodes enlarged. Asked for copy of ct report and the lymph node issue was noted in the previous ct scan. I have at least

Biopsy results
I received my biopsy results today. Last week the doctor took out a 2cm polyp in my sigmoid colon. My symptoms were blood in stool and rectal pressure. It came back as having some high grade dysplasia (precancerous) so I will need to repeat a colonoscopy in three years. If anyone is concerned about

unilateral hearing loss
I’m a 24year old girl who noticed hearing issues from at least a few years ago. I put it off due to covid and fear that Im too young to have any problems with hearing. 6 weeks ago I took the plunge and had a hearing test and my left ear is severe-profound hearing loss and my right is massively compensating

Neuropathy
Are there any new helpful remedies to ease the discomfort of this neurological disorder? I am into another round of chemotherapy, docetaxel and Carboplatin and would love to have minimal addition to the discomfort I already endure.

Flydoggy has flown, plant medicine journeys helped so much in our last year with him...so much.
Hello, I am Flydoggy's wife. My beautiful and amazing man crossed over on June 23rd at 4am, after an 8 1/2 year battle with this awful disease. He left calmly and peacefully, wrapped in his family. I am so sad that this cancer took him at 64 yrs old, he was vibrant and strong really, almost to the end

Hubby diagnosed with Bowel Cancer today
My hubby had a colonoscopy today. They had to stop part way as they found a huge tumour!They told us he has bowel cancer. They said he will be referred to colorectal MDT to plan treatment but does anyone know how long will this take? No further appointments made yet. Sorry if this seems impatient

Life insurance ??
Good afternoon, lovely sunny Sunday here in Norfolk? 🌞So my partner and I have finally moved, but I'm struggling with getting anyone to accept me for life insurance to cover my mortgage as I have RA and have had lung surgery?.... Has anyone else had this happen, or know of any companies that would provide

Various Issues last three years.
2020 dark blood in stool 3 times followed by 6 mths occasional yellow, pale, mucus and stomach upsets. Seemed to clear but stool colour lighter now. I'm 77 so I hope the NHS does not see me as a done case! Three weeks ago strong left lower pain down to leg then light blood in stools and continues.

CLL, skincancer and is this the end?
Husband is 73 has CLL for 10 years and any type of skincare you can think of and Diabetis2. As he is an avid walker he is fit and you would not know that he has all this happening. The latest cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma has been removed but one lymph node has cancer cells. I hope he will survive

After RP who goes over Pathology?
We messaged Surgeon through portal and asked how many lymph nodes removed. He states that pathology will tell us that…Does the medical oncologist go over the surgery pathology?. My husband has great physicians, but definitely confused by these mixed messages of whom is willing to give my husband answers

Does anyone else have a fave song for helping with the stress of having advanced PCa?
Dx in early 2022. A lot of tension and stress built as treatment escalated -- from Firmagon through radiation and since then abi+lupron. Especially during daily RT sessions with the big honking IMRT machine rotating around me. Tension exacerbated by knowing that PSMA-CT scan spine spots (3) were

Mom doing great with Faslodex with trial med
Happy Friday everyone! My Mom had her second Faslodex injections yesterday and has almost no soreness at site. Yay! She is also very energetic and feels well. She’s thinks maybe the treatment is making her even more energetic than usual (she’s very active and a young 77yrs) lol 😆 She’s involved

Metastatic breast cancer
I have been diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer but right now my scans are NED. I have taken 51 doses of hormone related drugs. I also have osteoporos which is related to the cancer. I would like to know if it is safe to take collagen while I am on Ibrance and Letrozole .
