information about Her2 type
Hello- I am writing in regards to my mother who is now in her 70’s with second occurrence of breast cancer. She just found out it is Her2 type and radiologist told her today it was a cancer 3 aggressive type. Does anyone have any information or experience with this type that you would feel okay sharing

Hi everyone. At noon today it will be ten years since I went to A&E with pain in my legs. I couldn't get a doctors appointment which on this occasion turned out to be lucky because I was diagnosed with stage 3C Ovarian cancer and examination. I had the op and chemo like everyone else and have been so

Docetaxel
I’ve completed my 3 doses of EC
chemotherapy
with few problems but 4 days post docetaxel I’m struggling. My temperature started to increase 4 hours post first GCSF injection, I have been checked out at hospital and my bloods are ok, cultures due back today but not expected to be abnormal.

emotions during chemo
hi all, I am on the paclitaxel Carboplatin regimen for stage 2A clear cell ovarian, after optimal surgery. I am physically tolerating the chemo well after 2 sessions, though I feel so irritable, angry, intolerant especially during the few days after the chemo. I feel horrible for being so impatient with

Capecitabine(Xeloda) dose change
I have been on Capecitabine for about 9 months at a dose of 2000 mg per day (2 weeks on 1 week off). My scans have shown good results with the last scan showing no progression. My question is, has anyone had experience with reducing dose to 2000 mg 1 week on then 1 week off? My Dr. Has suggested changing

Anyone have experience with Provenge? Especially on PSA tests?
For my history, I was diagnosted with Prostrate cancer in 2018. Now 70 years old. I had Surgery in late 2018 where they removed my prostrate and found cancer in 2 lymph nodes. I have had 2 salvage radiation sessions, which appeared to be successful. I have been on Lupron, essentially since surgery

Stem cell transplant starts on Monday
A bit of background - In October 2021 I had a rapid and florid relapse following the end of my Ibrutinib treatment in FLAIR so I was started on Acalabrutinib with no effect and also had investigations for Richter's. Tests showed that I was resistant to the currently available BTKi's (two synergistic

bowel obstruction
It looks like there’s no more options for me as I’ve been in hospital for a week with a bowel obstruction. HGSOC 3C. Had 2 lines chemo close together. Just had Carbo/gemcitabine but it made me so ill. Now I’m just waiting to see what happens. No food or drink. Any hints you brave ladies?

Still here today
Lupron,
chemotherapy
, and Zytiga. Started the treatment in March 2022. In August my PSA was undetectable. I'm still taking Zytiga and Lupron and my oncologist started me on Xgeva. Just saw my oncologist on Dec. 27th and my PSA is still undetectable. So far, so good.
