Docetaxel Chemo: What Helped Me…
I am on triplet therapy (ADT, darolutamide and Docetaxel) and will be continuing on to radiation in December I wanted to post this in case it might help others who are going to get Docetaxel. I just finished round six (final) of my Docetaxel infusions on 10/24. (Oct 2022, started July 2022).

Any guidance on having chemo as a ulcerative colitis sufferer?
Hi I have been offered adjuvant chemo following a lower left lobectomy to remove a 42 mm adenocarcinoma. The histology showed no spread to the adjacent lymph nodes. I have a T2b staging. I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis about a decade ago and, through careful management and medical support

Dysgeusia (taste alteration)
Hi. Is there anyone out there suffering from taste alteration. This is not not fancying food or feeling sick or not being able to eat. This is a side effect where any food I put into my mouth doesn’t have the right taste and it is replaced by a disgusting taste as though the food is bad. I have had this

Scanxiety Series 3 Episode I (?)
Hello everyone Just had a scan ordered by oncologist because ca125 jumped 10 points in September to 45. Tbh it has edged up every month on Olaparib (I have been on it since May 2021). i am really struggling with the idea that despite being BRCA 1 the maintenance treatment probably hasn’t really worked

Now on ADT, what to add?
My medical oncologist is now suggesting adding either 6 cycles of
chemotherapy
(Doxetaxel) or Abiraterone. I have also been looking at adding either Enzalutamide (Xtandi), Darolutamide or even Apalutamide.

Scalp Cooling Saves Hair in 75% of Cases
One reason for lack of use is the perceived burden on infusion center resources based on the need to perform prolonged scalp cooling both before and especially after the initation and completion of each
