Lupron only after 4.5+ years
I was diagnosed with multiple Mets in August 2018. Started Lupron Nov. 2018. Over the years PSA has bounced up and down from low of 0.5 in March 2021 to high of 1.4 in June 2020. Mostly stayed 0.6 to 0.9. Ended 2022 at .67, but last two readings were 1.01 in March and .98 two days ago. Never had RP,

P-Afib from cancer treatment causes different part of heart to misfire.
This said because my Afib was induced by cancer treatment ie
chemotherapy
, Herceptin & radiotherapy (on the left side of chest). I have never seen my EP in person due to Covid but I have finally a face to face appointment in a weeks time. I'd like to know more about Afib due to cancer treatment.

Update on swollen legs/feet
Hi, I posted 2 days ago that I was experiencing swollen legs and feet and was unsure if it was due to GSF injections. Had bloods done today prior to seeing oncologist. He felt the swelling was due to Gemcitabine. Apparently it is a common side effect!Only trouble now is my platelets are only 35, so

Final STAMPEDE results for Abi with/out Enza when starting ADT.
Given that funding for these agents before
chemotherapy
became more widely available in the UK National Health Service after 2015, more patients had this option at progression in the abiraterone and enzalutamide trial than in the abiraterone trial.

Health tips for first round of radio and chemo
my 76 yrs old mum was recently diagnosed with grade 4 brain tumour which was 90% removed this wk by craniotomy. She tolerated the craniotomy very well and was discharged the next day after surgery. Some numbness to left side but this was there prior to surgery and appears to have stayed the same thankfully
