Chemotherapy with Etoposide and Cisplatin
Has anyone on here had Chemo with these 2 drugs? Just wondering how you’re getting on in feeling normal? I’m 5 years post chemo and my entire body hurts from head to foot. Doctor is looking at possible Lupus but ANA test is negative. I have joint pain, muscle pain, basically pain anywhere and everywhere

Back Pain after Chemo?
My wife recently started IV Carboplatin and she’s experienced excruciating lower back and hip pain for the first few days after her treatment (AUC6 dosing, once every 3 weeks). She has numerous pelvic metastases as well as chronic stenosis in her lower back. We’re struggling to try to determine whether

The doctor says it will either be Zytiga or
chemotherapy
. I am lost. Should I push for
chemotherapy
first?

Pluvicto side effects…
… are kicking my butt. I have my third round next week. I’m more fatigued than with chemo, bone pain, can’t eat, constipation — all the stuff. I’m even more concerned now because I was Rx-ed oxycodone and have increasingly been turning to that for temporary physical relief. I’m starting to think maybe

UPDATE on Abdominal distension.
Some may remember my post a few days ago. I was experiencing some abdominal distension, which I suspected maybe ascites. However, my GP assured me there was no ascites and I probably had diverticulitis.I took the advice of the kind ladies who responded to me. I was admitted to hospital yesterday with

CA125 plus MRI = trouble (despite contrary advice)
Hi All, this is from the Uk - good old NHS! My positivity is slipping! No, I WILL keep a PMA😌 I’m off on holiday soon 😁 but…. The story so far is too long - briefly, 4th line finished end of May. Just got blood results and CA125 has jumped from 23 to 293! Now, the midpoint CT scan showed partial

knee Replacement
Has anyone with MBC gone off their chemo drug ( for me Ibrance) for a month for reasons to strengthen their immune system to prep for surgery? I desperately need knee replacement. My oncologist just completed a body and chest scans and I remain stable as I have for 2 years. I have been given the go

What after Trodelvy?
I was wondering if anyone came back to ormonal treatments or traditional chemo after Trodelvy failed, and had still good results. They say this treatment is the best after CDK4/6 fail for HR+ mbc and there’s liver involvement, but I was wondering if undergoing such a strong therapy could make cancer

He has been treated with
chemotherapy
for the last 4 months and his second scan came back with mixed results. His oncologist at Weil has said that chemo is not working and he should consider other alternatives. We are trying to see Dr. Beltran at Dana Farber and Dr. Matthew at Tufts.

Drug side effects
Last month I went from prediabetic to hitting 300 due to the Dexamethasone I've been having to take for my chemo treatments. My oncologist put me on metformin & it brought my level down, but now I've been in & out of the ER. Once with intestinal issues, once with chronic diarrhea & shortness of breath

Advice please
Hi there, my mum was diagnosed with HGSOC stage 4 in October 21. She had debulking surgery followed by 6 rounds of carbo/taxol. She recovered well and continued with Avastin infusions every 3 weeks until May this year when her CA125 started to gradually rise. Her CT scan at this time showed NED and they

Hi, I’m a 69 yr old retired nurse. For the past nine years I have been experiencing all the common symptoms of PV and have had three embolitic events, a DVT, Pulmonary embolism and a cerebral venous thrombosis. I was treated for other things and no specific blood tests were ever done. Things got so bad
