Efudix cream
It's a
Chemotherapy
cream and it basically kills off any sun damaged skin and it's very effective but you look like your face is falling off. I was wondering if anyone else on here has used it and if it affected PA at all.

Chemo pills
My husband started his radiation and chemo pills Monday. It is recommended to take the pills before bedtime. After taking the pills he won't go to bed. He's up all night, going outside....it's like a teverse effect. Has anyone ran into this? Any suggestions?

Decision time!
After finding out I had progression to my liver in July and acute side effects to Everolimus after only 6 weeks, I have been advised there is further progression to my liver. So I now face the dilemma of no treatment and at best 6 months, or choice of chemo. My oncologist has given me 3 options, oral

Update, tumor in lymph node
The recommended treatment in the next line is then
chemotherapy
in the form of Docetaxel-21 (event Docetaxel14). No indication to start this now as the patient is clinically stable and PSMA-PET shows admission only in one lymph node.

COVID-19 Infection effect on Urinary Incontinence and Mirabegron.
Dear Simon Foundation, I'm an old member of HU as a CLL type Leukaemia patient in the UK, but only just discovered your Simon foundation. Now I've always had poor bladder control and that could be due to bladder sensitivity, BPH, or damaged nerves in my lower back or all three, or more. I've gone through

Is there hope? I’m dreading asking the question of “how long”…
They wanted to start
chemotherapy
but weren’t able to start it until April due to low platelet and blood counts and him needing multiple transfusions. He’s only been able to get one dose of. chemo so far.

PALB2 genetic defect-Lynparza
I have PALB2 genetic defect. Just completed six cycles of Taxotere as part of triple therapy (chemo, Nubeqa and ADT) for about 20 Mets (PSMA scan) mostly skeletal (no organs). Only four Mets still lit up on PSMA scan after four cycles of chemo/Lupron/Nubeqa. Next PSMA scan in Jan. 2024. Oncologist recommends

Hi, wondering about your eyebrow journeys for anyone who lost some or all of yours while on chemo or other drugs? I’m 2 and a half weeks in from my first chemo treatment, and my hair started coming out in huge bunches a few days ago, so some family came over yesterday and took care of that - I’m fully

immunotherapy damaging kidneys
hi My mother has been having successful treatment for stage 3 lung cancer, but the immunotherapy has negatively affected her kidneys, so she is having steroids and they have said they cannot continue to offer the immunotherapy. We are awaiting a scan appointment & they may then discuss radiotherapy,
