Newbie !
I had 27 radiotherapy sessions, 5
chemotherapy
sessions and 3 high dose brachytherapy sessions. My bowel issues started very early on and got worse and worse as treatment went on. I finished active treatment on 29th July. I am left with bad bowel/eating issues.

going to try
I’ve been through
chemotherapy
in 2020 Relapsed early 2021 and went through second series of chemo - finished March 2021. I’ve had no energy since. Maybe due to long covid as well as recovery from intense chemo. I thought I would give Couch to 5K a go but worried it might be too much. Any tips?

And so it goes.
I didn't want to write this maybe because I won't have to admit it until I wrote it down - but I owe it to you guys. So after radiation and 2 yrs of ADT/Zytiga where my PSA was undetectable - i went on a vacation. Then my PSA started to come back - I had an initial PETscan in October 2022 which showed

PSA down but mets increasing?
I've been on ADT + Xtandi for about a year (see my Bio for details) and my PSA has been slowly and steadily reducing over that time - now down to 0.05. However, my 3 CT scans (last August, December and last month) are showing a slight increase each time in the size of my lymph node mets and the bone

Failed tumour surgery, what are my options now?
I underwent radical debulking in June followed by 6 cycles of carboplatin and paclitaxel
chemotherapy
which finished in November 2022. I had a PET scan in December and was told in January 2023 that I had disease progression and a new tumour in the pelvis.

Next Steps?
Good morning my fellow warriors. I have reached another cross roads in my treatment. I was set up to have HDR and SbRT as salvage treatment, but a PSMA scan showed disease progression to more lymph nodes which caused my Radiation Onc. to cancel the HDR. My regular ONC is now recommending Chemo after

The human microbiome links to prostate cancer risk and treatment (Review)
Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), hormone therapy and
chemotherapy
are also effective in male patients with Pca (8). However, certain patients progress to castration‑resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) within 2‑3 years after starting ADT treatment, resulting in a poor prognosis (9).

My Journey - Breast Cancer
So far - I'm Lucky. On March 8th - my husband found a lump on my right breast. He was so sweet - Honey - when was your last Mamo. July 2023 - Why. And then he showed me what he felt. After a sleepless night - right to the Gyno - no worries about apts. I needed to see them. They got me a Mamo

xeloda or nothing?
I don't want it to disintegrate even more from adding in a new
chemotherapy
. I've signed up for Hospice, although death is not imminent but because of the great support and services. But, if I go on Xeloda I will have to step back from hospice since you can't be on any kind of treatment.

Kidneys are in trouble. Chemo delayed.
I was to have
chemotherapy
yesterday. Unfortunately, my creatinine level was up from 1.11 to 1.68. Also, filtration should be above 60. Mine dropped to 32. An ultrasound has been scheduled on February 16, and I see my oncologist the following day.

My Experience with Chemo/Radiotherapy
I was diagnosed with a brain tumour back in December 2012. At that time it was misdiagnosed as a GBM4 but a recurrence in 2019 sent me to hospital again where it was finally rediagnosed as an AO3. Like the GBM4, an AO3 is still terminal but gives one plenty more time on this earth. I never had radiotherapy

Thought I would never say this but I’m struggling!!!!
I’m 7.5 years into the journey aged 57 yrs old. I have done chemo, (x3) radiation and Pluvicto. It feels like the Pluvicto accelerated the disease into the whole right side of my pelvis. Scans were ugly and for some reason I have agreed to jevtana as I live for my family. Trouble is I'm miserable and

Pluvicto works but at what cost
70 yo with Stage 4, multiple bone mets, on Orgovyx daily and Xgeva every 3 months. DaVinci in past. Previously on Firmagon, Xtandi worked for awhile, nothing with Xofigo and a few rounds of Jevtana didn’t help and caused problems, also had localized XRT - but had to have chemo to qualify for Pluvicto
