After Abiterone stops working, would Darolutamide be an option?
my brother has stage 4 prostate cancer. He responded well to Abiterone for 20 months and it recently stopped. The doctor is wanting him to start Docetaxel chemo and I know it has terrible side effects. I read somewhere that trying Daralutamide msg be an option. Has anyone tried this? Also, what is the

Other than Chemo, what other treatments for PCA is a port used for?
I'm considering having my port removed. I can always have another placed if needed, right? Update, ago Well darn. Went for flush and psa draw and they couldn't draw any blood. They said they can still administer meds, but the blood had to be drawn from my arm. Planning on calling surgeon on Monday.

Parps
I found out yesterday I am BRAC negative. I was diagnosed with Stage 2b High Grade Serous Carcinoma in July, finished chemo last month. My cancer nurse mentioned that I might need to go on parp inhibitors, she would talk to my oncologist. I have no experience of parps. Do parps slow down/stop the return

Hi there. Hope you’re all going ok? I had my first scan ( CT with contrast) since July 2020 on 2nd December 2022 ( Prof Christina Fotopoulou advised me to have after seeing her on 21st Nov ). Prof CF phoned me on 5th December to let me know the scan results showed there was no evidence of disease

Low WBC at 7 weeks after final chemo - anyone experience this?
I'm on Lupron (since May, 2022) and finished my 6th round of chemo (docetaxel) about 7 weeks ago. Got Neulasta the day after each round and counts came back nicely, except after the last (6th). One week after last chemo, my WBC was 3.1. Since then it has been bouncing around between 1.7 and 2.8; yesterday

Timing of scans?
How often are people having scans after chemo? I last had a scan in August 22 when I finished front line chemo. I have since started maintenance then stopped to have a lymph node removed and restarted again. I was of the understanding I would get one every 3 months for at least a year but this doesn't

An Update for the Community
Good Sunday evening (or Monday morning) to all of you. I'd like to provide an update on my situation and that of my father, while we're at it. First, my dad.

Treatment change to Xeloda - chemo 💊
I have started the first round of Xeloda a chemo pill 💊. Taking 4 pills twice daily for 14 days then 7 days off. So far so good, none of the side effects as of yet. I am prepared however. Our hope 🙏🏾 is that it will reduce and/or eliminate my cancer met tumors to lung cavity and liver. I would love

my 58 y/o partner diagnosed with non small cell lung cancer in mediastinum with lymph node involvement and bone mets
hi there. Not really sure what to ask as this is such a huge shock as it has been so quick. However, after much hassle and pushing for tests the above diagnosis was made. We were told they may not give chemo due to his deranged bloods and liver function tests. However, if they do decide it’s platinum

Chemo for Pelvic Lymph Nodes
Hi all, When I was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer 3.5 years ago, I had small mets scattered on my spine and mets in prostate and pelvic lymph nodes. The ADT has eliminated the spine mets, but the lymph nodes continue to grow. Will Chemo kill the lymph node mets or is it more effective for

Relation between reduction on blood thinning meds and reduction in GFR at the same time.
My GFR dropped to 51 after finishing my chemo and a change from anticoagulant injections to 10 mg per day apixaban 2 years ago. Had a DVT whilst undergoing chemo even though i tried to stay active. Four months ago my apixipan was reduced again to 5mg a day. My GFR has gone down to 41 not long after

Lu-177 as SOC vs Clinical Trial
Many thanks to all contributors! Since I've now just had my 16th cabazitazel/carboplatin chemo treatment, we're looking at options and working on Lu-177. I'm curious that, since Lu-177 is now FDA approved and is Standard Of Care, is there an advantage to seeking a clinical trial vs receiving it as
