QoL: Mixed media painting, 'Two trees, four textures'.
Really this was just playing around with my materials. It was fun. The composition is meant to invite each viewer in turn to examine each tree as a separate painting -- a kind of stand-alone. I hope you enjoy them. On a darker note, I have an appointment with my oncologist on Monday afternoon to discuss

Update on trametinib (Mekinist) for low grade serous ovarian cancer
This is for people who have received platinum-based
chemotherapy
previously and have not had treatment with a MEK-inhibitor in the past. Trametinib is a targeted therapy which blocks a protein that helps cancer cells grow.

Q & A with my husband's MO
I'm posting this in case someone finds it helpful. The scans show visceral as well as bone mets. That plus a steep rise in his PSA and the start of chemo really soon have us in a sober state of mind. Continuing to lean on Jesus for strength. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wXoa3LDjRUyZ4dE9wLJQAg32jRcEISF4v3KeSOT83gg

I had a left upper lobectomy in May 2023 followd by 4 sessions of chemo. I still have a little shortness of breath left over from my lobectomy. Is this fairly common?

My Recovery so far post Stem cell Transplant
Sorry I've been absent for so long, my stem cell transplant journey has been a difficult one to be honest and only now do I feel able to be able to tell the story so far. Thank you to everyone who kindly messaged me to see how I was and apologies for asking so long to respond. I really appreciated

What’s next after pirtoimbrutinib?
My husband has been on pirtobrutinib for one year in October. He was granted a compassionate use authorization by the FDA since it had not yet been approved by the FDA. His oncologist told him yesterday the efficacy of this drug is 12-18 months. His journey so far has been bundamustine chemo

I had my BMB yesterday and it all went well 👍🏻
The operating pathology haematologist asked if I had any questions or comments and I said I had dis-ease about using a chemo pill and he said it really wasn’t a bad drug and not like regular
chemotherapy
drugs. He said we feel at ease giving it to babies so you really don’t need to worry.

Day 2 Enhertu infusion
The first day the infusion protocols went very smoothly. Received saline fluids first, 3 premeds for nausea etc. then the Enhertu. No pain no side effects. My infusion nurse suggested a port for me. My vein in my arm is scarred. So port it is. I am drinking 💦 and eating light carrots 🥕 🍦 🥗! No nausea

Recurrence in spleen
Had chemo and debulking surgery 2 years ago. Stage 3 HGS OC. 1st recurrence 3 months ago with lesions in spleen and peritoneum. Consultant advises watch and wait and does not advise splenectomy. CA125 76, no symptoms. Just wondering if anyone out there has lesions in their spleen and what treatment

Could this be the start of neuropathy?
I had my first Docetaxel infusion 6 days ago. Due to the Dexamethasone before and the Prednisone since, I have been really well. In the gym most days, and eating really well. I have had no side effects - until today. It's a minor thing, but both thumbs are a little sore. It's not a tingling sensation

When to introduce ADT after RP failure
I'm progressing well on Triplet Therapy coming up 12 months after Chemo and comparing myself to my brothers situation.
