Peeing , what to do?
My husband has had issues with peeing for years ( probably why stage 4 at diagnosis, cause blamed BPH) . He recently finished last chemo 3 weeks ago and is again noticing a change when peeing. Says that he feels a great deal of pressure towards the end of the pee stream and feels like the end of his

blue lips side effect olaparib
I’ve just started olaparib maintenance therapy following debunking and chemo that finished in January. I have started to get blue lips. My only other side effects are joint pain (helped by onega 3 and exercise) and mild nausea. Has anyone else had blue lips? Is it serious?

Duloxetine and/or Pyridoxine
Hello Everyone, I’m on 5th line chemo , so well experienced at this game. It’ll be 9 years this year. I think I know the answer and I’m going to seek advice from my nurse specialist and have an appointment with my consultant soon, but I’d like to know if anyone has experience of either of the above

Not great news for hubby today. What is next?
Just updated my husband's profile so you can see his journey from 2016. Oncologist today said to continue the Abiraterone for another month and see where we are at with PSA results. Was up again today. He did have 6 rounds of targeted radiation last month, so would that cause PSA to go up. We were hoping

Unrelated PMR question, but asking for a desperate friend in need …
A friend of mine is bewildered about what is going on with his wife’s health. He doesn’t know where to go from here, so I told him I would ask for help from you. She has recovered from breast and throat/neck cancer, unrelated to each other, but has undergone chemo/radio and now has the all clear.

Hello lovely ladies, I have a scan on Wednesday, 7 months since last chemo session. I'm feeling good only worry is lymph node under my arm is swollen & I look 6 months pregnant again. If they tell me it's back ( this will be my first reoccurrence) I will not be too shocked, but would love to hear some

My experience with Docetaxel
I know everyone doesn’t respond the same but here is my experience and what I went through with 10 rounds of chemo. Before I started I had already been on Lupron for five years, I had radiation to multiple bone Mets, took zytiga/xtandi, had Provenge and did a clinical trial. October 26 2023 I started

What comes after, what comes next?
I have posted a few times about my dad. Stage 4, mets to 8+ bones at time of diagnosis, PSA at 137 (10/22.)

Starting Chemo 5/14
Starting chemo on 5/14 via NIH trial with cytokine M9241. Been watching everyone's feedback on chemo prep. Interested in everyone's 'kit' of products, foods, & supplies to be ready with what works for the expected discomforts to come. Appreciate everyone's feedback!

Disappointing News from CT and Clinical Trial
Well folks, I went for my fourth dose in the Phase 1 clinical at Sarah Cannon Research this week and had first follow-up CT since treatment started. Met with Dr. prior to treatment and he shared the scan results which showed progression in liver and abdomen in general. He strongly advised I needed

repost - cancer progression - next steps?
I am reposting in the hope of receiving a response regarding best next steps. Please see my profile for history on my dad's condition. He went to the ER last weekend with severe flank pain and CT revealed left-sided hydronephrosis as likely cystic soft tissue mass obstructing the left ureter. An anterograde

Bloods and Test Results - Patient Knowledge
Hi ladies Do you get copies of your blood test results and if so how are they given to you and from/ at what stage in your treatment? I am mid front line chemo. I had extra bloods done and 2 TV scans a few weeks ago due to pelvic pain. The doctor doing my 2nd one had my results in front of her and

Does this sound like Lymphoedema?
Hi 👋 I'm worried that I'm getting lymphoedema.... I was treated for triple negative breast cancer in 2019 and had a horrible time with chemo, a lumpectomy with SLNB, a second op to clear the rest of the lymph nodes, and finished with 4 weeks of radiotherapy ending in Jan '20. After the clearance op

Buprenorphine and constipation.
Can anyone tell me how constipating Buprenorphine is please? I’ve heard a lot about the nausea it causes but not that other side effect of all morphine drugs. Is it better or worse than other opioids? As it is supposed to be the best one for controlling RLS and my Neurologist is going to ask my GP to

Xofigo anyone?
So my PSA is rising after Chemo, Lupron and NUBEQA (Darolutamide). It rose from 0.04 in June 2023 to 0.84 at the end on April 2024 with latest time of doubling about 5 weeks, 2.3 years after diagnosis. I don't have organ on lymph node metastasis yet. My oncologists team suggests Xofigo/Ra-223 as a next

After Four Cycles of Ra-223
After four cycles of Ra-223 sadly it seems not to be doing as well as we would of liked. I have numinous new uptakes (to numinous to mention) as well as an increase in size of some of the older sites while a few have decreased in size or disappeared the new activity is outweighing the overall success

I feel like my life imploded
Life has been a rollercoaster. I have barely been able to get out of bed. My meds quit working months ago. My veins quit cooperating so they've been using the veins in my hands before they decide to put a port in me- Which I am not looking forward to. I have done everything they've said to avoid it,
