Thankful
My husband had his first chemo treatment of 275ml Docetaxel (Taxotere) on 1/11/24 at 2 pm. Thankfully he has had no bad side effects to it except for flatulence. He has not had to take any pain medication since mid day on 1/11/24. Before that he was having to take Oxycodone 10mg every 4 hours or

Dealing with erm, unwanted smells in bathroom!
So I'm on chemo yet again, and a more slightly light hearted post I guess, but when my hubby uses the bathroom for erm number 2's the smell just makes me wretch! 🤢 Even when I go number 2 myself actually makes me heave! I've tried various air freshners, but the smell of them combined with au' d'poo

which steroids and what dosage.
Don’t know if the steroid Dexamethosone would be appropriate for brain cancer but your doctor should know. It is given to me every 21 days at Docetaxel chemo infusion for PCa and absolutely eliminates pains. Can last for 12-18 hours. Ask your doc about it. Mike Seattle

Holding very low stable usPSA - 0.03X range for six years; no ADT, no chemo.
Eight years ago this month had RP after considerable investigation - nadir 0.050. Eleven months later had salvage RT; done at 0.10. Then after a year of pondering ADT and chemo, when my usPSA was back up to 0.10, I went to Europe for Ferrotran nano-MRI combined with Ga68 PSMA. The nanoMRI lite up

Age and timing for Triplet therapy?
I am age 81, active and neither fit nor frail, radiated in 2021 without hormone therapy. Radiated again in 2023 for a pelvic node. In December the PSA rose to 3.78 and a PSMA-PET scan showed cancer growing in prostate, shrinking in pelvic node, and spread to one abdominal node. I started ADT with

3B and falling fast
The treatment is
chemotherapy
. I will post again after I start the Clonipin, and hopefully after the kidney biopsy when I know more. So far, the MGRS is the only thing that makes sense. On a low creatinine diet, low sodium diet for past 3 years.

In first, scientists induce cancer cells to kill themselves
Another classic treatment technique is
chemotherapy
, involving the delivery of small molecules through the bloodstream to effectively kill cancer cells. However,
chemotherapy
has a major downside: it is not selective, and also kills healthy cells.”

Divergent second opinion
My husband was recently diagnosed with PCa with 6-7 mets to the bones as seen on the PSMA Pet scan (see profile for details), The first MO we met at an NCCN center recommended triplet therapy. He has started Firmagon + Darulotomide with Docetaxel planned in the coming weeks. We also got a second opinion

PC no longer castrate resistant
Hello all, my latest pet/ct scan indicates my PC is no longer castrate resistant as there is new disease growth in my lungs. Largest lesion is 2.5 centimeters. I'm no longer taking xtandi, so it can be "washed out" of my system prior to new treatment, however I'm still getting quarterly lupron shots

Hello, I had a recurrence last year after being in remission for over 6 years. I was diagnosed as being a 3C and am BRAC2. I did really well with the chemo and now I have been taking Olaparib for a little less than 3 weeks. It's been rough especially at the beginning. They had to wait a few extra

Venatoclax mono therapy
I'm Interested in the Vanatoclac monetherapy which I am getting right now since summer. I cannot get a straight answer from my oncolog/hematologist at St. Joe's in Toronto or a clinical scientist at Sunnybrook about why I'm getting monotherapy and not dual therapy. I have had fewer side effects than
