I need help with my attitude
So I haven’t written in a bit because I have been waiting to find out what my next line of treatment is. ( Thank you to everyone who responded to my last post about med change). Ibrance stopped working after a year and a half and Everolimus didn’t work at all. I am waiting to find out if I qualify

Chemotherapy for pv
The course of treatment they are suggesting is a month in hospital on aggressive
chemotherapy
. I was wondering if anyone else has been in a similar situation and can give me their thoughts and/or experiences of this process.Many thanks George

hair care with olaparib
has anyone tried hair colouring or smoothening when on olaparib. My grays have become prominent in the last year and my hairs are growing back curly (never had curls before in my life) after the chemo. It is not super important to me to do the colouring or smoothening, but if there is no danger at all

next treatment Doxil
hello everyone In July 1st 2022 I enrolled in a clinical trial with AZD (Faslodex in pills) and Capivasertib. Unfortunately last PET scan is showing progression on my liver. Options are Everolimus or Abemaciclib and IV chemo: Doxil. My onc strongly recommends Doxil. Obviously I am scared of IV

Tumor Lysis Syndrome: What ( CLL ) Patients Need to Know (Leukemia and Lymphoma Society podcast)
As cancer cells are dying off, either spontaneously or in response to
chemotherapy
, a number of electrolytes, including phosphate and uric acid end up in the bloodstream and can end up precipitating in the kidneys and ultimately causing a lot of organ dysfunction.

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).

No scan offered!
I have a recurring ovarian cancer. I'm treatable but not curable.I had radiotherapy in January to reduce a recurrence and my Ca125 went down to 21. It's now 48 ash's I'm told I can't have a scan until I have symptoms which strikes me as odd. I was having 3 monthly scans and was expecting one next month

CA125
Morning lovely ladiesJust wondering if anyone knows anything about a 'normal' CA125 level, mine has now dropped to 9.2 and had my last chemo yesterday, CT scan next week then the agonising wait for my results. I have clear cell OC so CA125 results are not an accurate indicator. Does anyone know the normal
