Boron and Fasting for the Prostate

I went on a 10 day water fast and my psa went from 23 down to 15 in 1 month. but went back up to 24. Who knows when it comes to psa other than doubling time or if it drops to normal. Their is a person

Update after consultation w/Royal Marsden
I promised I would address some requests for information following my consultation with Prof. Johan de Bono and his team at the Royal Marsden Hospital. The trigger was a marginally raised PSA (now 4.4) and some evidence on more bone mets, failing Enzalutamide and being offered a course of chemo (which

Burning Feet - Cramps Up Calves, Thighs and Glutes.
I know I have neuropathy in my feet - that started after my
chemotherapy
two years ago. I have had cardio tests and lower leg vascular tests proved no problem. Monday, I'm having an MRI done on my back to see if I have some kind of a blockage to my blood flow and my lower extremities.

Swollen Legs after Chemo
I just finished ten rounds of Docetaxel for stage 4 PC. At around the 8th cycle, I noticed my legs and ankles were swollen. Now that I’ve completed the chemo, the legs/ankles are still swollen and feel very tight and heavy. My thighs have also ballooned in size. I had an ultrasound to rule out blood

Future after Erleada/Lupron
I met with a new MO today for a second opinion. I've been taking Erleada/Lupron for almost four years with few side effects (for which I'm grateful). I'm aware that my results have been very good and I wasn't looking for advice regarding a change in my care....I just wanted to have a second doctor

Cabazitaxel, can you return for a second round.
I was only on this chemo, Cabazitaxel, for three infusions, then was approved for Pluvicto . PSA was creeping up slowly during that time, from 63-141. Has anyone gone back to it and had success with 8-10 infusions? I am now being treated with docetaxel(50%) and carboplatin, both at a reduced percentage

Inoperable Glioblastoma
My dad has glioblastoma in his left frontal lobe. His right arm/hand is now completely paralysed and his speech is getting poorer every week.

Infections during Chemo
After my LRP (2010) I had UTI's continually for ~2 years. I have no idea what finally shook them off -- a change from a tropical to a temperate climate, maybe? I am not coming to the end of the oral treatments available to me. At some time in the not too distant future I will be moving to docetaxel

Morning everyone I was on Niraparib since last June 22 but this June it was stopped as my CT scan showed progression to my liver and possibly spleen. Also in peritoneum.

Relative risk for secondary bone marrow cancer within 5 years after initial CLL chemoimmunotherapy treatment (typically BR or FCR)
In countries where targeted therapies ('brutinibs, venetoclax, obinutuzumab/rituximab) are now available, the remaining reason that FCR (Fludarabine+Cyclophosphamide+Rituximab) is still sometimes recommended for the treatment of CLL is that it can be curative* about 55% of the time - but [u]

Pain during sex and trying to concieve
I've been on
chemotherapy
for multiple sclerosis which meant I was unable to try convieve until now. I am now ready to try but sex has always been so painful. I thought the laparoscopy would help but it hasn't. The endo is too close to my bladder to operate again.
