Keytruda - year 4
So I’m pretty much closing the book on my 4th year on Keytruda (pembroluzimab). I’ve recently completely my 33rd Pembro infusion. Keytruda was my Hail Mary after running through most other SOC. My PSA was rising while on chemo the second time when I found out I had the markers that made me eligible

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.

Brain metastasis on Ovarian Cancer
Since then, she has undergone several surgeries and
chemotherapy
rounds. I know everyone here has either faced these challenges or witnessed a loved one going through them, so you understand how difficult it is.

Chemo and social life
My husband and I are both freshly aware of his need to avoid getting ill due to low white blood cell count - his is only 1.93, and that's 10 days after his first treatment. He's opting to work from home (on the days that he's not wiped), but with holidays coming and plans to gather with family, we're

May be doing IV chemo for the first time. Need tips - really freaked out!
Hi, so I’ve successfully avoided doing IV chemo since 2019. But due to bone mets I just had hip surgery and the pills I’ve been on are not working. I was told by the surgeon 2 days ago that I need systemic treatment asap or I’ll die. I’m having a petscan tomorrow and depending on how it looks, I’ll

Recap and update
hi, Well today I had my scan results. Just to recap, I’m stage 4 snd IDS was not attempted due to significant disease remaining in mesentry. I’ve had 6 rounds of chemo now and was hoping to have debulking at this stage. However my MDT, having looked at scan have said no. I was still responding to treatment

Still true that using same scan type is preferable to changing scan type?
Mr. Spouse 21, ten years since dx with Gleason 9 in 80% of cores, has only had bone and CT scans to track progression. That's how it was done in 2014. He's been stable since chemo with his current Eligard & Xgeva treatment--see full Profile for his record of Lupron, radiation, Zytiga (failed), Docetaxel

As you can imagine I’ve been super paranoid about my hearing/ears since my mental health crisis back in May when I had a tinnitus worsening due to chemo, I never want to go back to that as long as I live. I was playing Final Fantasy XIV Online with some friends and randomly one of the people in the

PSA fluctuations on docetaxel?

before and he has had castration-resistant PC for 11 years, metastasized to the pelvis in 2019. He’ll be on dose #7 of docetaxel as of tomorrow).

My dad is on his 2nd cycle of TMZ (300mg)5 days on, 3 weeks off regime. He had GBM located on his left frontal lobe but due to size and depth could not be operated on. Therefore he had 3 weeks of radiotherapy along with 155mg daily TMZ. He has poor speech and his right arm is paralysed. However this

Hi just wanted to pop on and connect with others. I was diagnosed in March 2022, I’ve had 6 rounds of chemo and debulking surgery. Like many I was told it will come back 🤦♀️. So I decided to radically change my life (I didn’t have a healthy lifestyle prior to my diagnosis). There’s lots we can do to

PSMA RESULTS
I have read that in certain cases, adding 3 to 4 cycles of
chemotherapy
to both of these treatments can be curative and am wondering if anyone can advise me on this.

Hi everyone, I’m new to this group as recently diagnosed and currently having 6 sessions of chemo (paclitaxel & carboplatin) every 3 weeks, although just had a delay on my 3rd session as white blood count too low 🤦♀️ and awaiting genetic testing results. I just wondered if anyone else has same diagnosis
