sorry.. AF again..but don’t look away please !
Atrial fibrillation ? Sorry it has been discussed frequently but I am new ! I was diagnosed with heart failure (no symptoms)about four years ago when my EF dropped to 38% after being on chemo and Herceptin for breast cancer. I saw the Cardiologist a second time a few months later and nothing had changed

Inability to work is frustrating me.
In addition, before
chemotherapy
was administered about 2 years ago, I had 10 shots of radiation to my hip for the bone met that was plaguing me. Well, that supposedly left me with lymph-edema, that starts just below my left knee and goes into my pelvic area. It is troublesome but I deal with it.

Great response in a very advanced case!
An update on my husband’s treatment and subsequent results so far. Diagnosed March 2022 with lymph nodes and bone metastases throughout the body. PSA of 1120. Late diagnosis due to NHS incompetence, so feeing truly rough. Told too late for surgery and too ill for chemo. Seven months of Prostap and

thank you for your help. Wondering what’s next after xtandi and starting zytiga + prednisone
Hi! Me again. I just wanted to thank everyone who commented on my last post about affordable aberitone. My father picked up his prescription this am and was able to advocate for himself a bit more with his new (temp) doctor based on some of the feed back y’all gave. I was wondering what the next steps

Reaction to Chemo Drug
I suffered an immediate severe reaction to chemo drug Paclitaxel and had to have an antidote administered in order to recover.The other2 drugs were ok(Carboplatin & Bevacizumab). I was told that some ladies have this reaction but when they take this drug a 2nd time they have no problem. I decided not

What scans have you had after chemo?
After chemo I was thinking that there will be another round of scans to see the effect of the chemo. None were offered. Should I ask for additional scans? I had a CT scan and an MRI when I was first diagnosed. Seems natural to compare the initial results with those from scans after the chemo. What is

Met with neurologist out of Vanderbilt yesterday
Had my 1st visit with Dr out of Vanderbilt, hubby and I really liked him. We talked with him for nearly an hour and he wants to work with my Primary Care physician at home, to co ordinate my treatment. Met with primary care today and she is very willing to work with him. He said my Ferrittin level

I’m sorry I need a whinge
I know it’s not just me in this situation but I was told on Monday that, after a year, Olaparib is no longer working. I’m grateful I can have second line chemo rather than worse case, nothing to be done, which I do appreciate some of you do have to deal with. My sister wanted to talk me through it. That

Bronchial spasms
I have interstitial lung disease caused by
chemotherapy
. My bronchial spasms have been more frequent the last week or two, especially after I have eaten or drank caffeine. Tonight, I was also having heart palpitations. It was really triggering my health anxiety.

177Lu-PSMA clinical trials for chemo naive patients
We are in India and I know ppl here have been getting lu pre chemo. My MO offers 177Lu-PSMA therapy too, however he has suggested we get chemo first and then lu if required. (case details in my profile) He mentioned that it has only been trialed in that sequence and not on chemo naive patients.

I'm on Dexamethasone as part of this
chemotherapy
treatment and was wondering if anyone else is taking these? Does anyone have any tips on how best to take this? I take them with food but it doesn't make much difference.

Chemo side effects and opioid intolerance
Hi all. This is my first post. I was diagnosed with Stage 4 ovarian cancer in September and have just had my first chemo. I have had chronic pains in my legs that normal painkillers haven't touched. I'm opioid intolerant but took codeine an hour after metoclopramide hoping this would work but sadly

Triplet therapy after nadir?????
Triplet therapy after nadir. Just wondering. We have recently established that triplet therapy is a good thing to hit PCa with just after diagnosis when the tumours are active and visible on the scans. I am about to get my next bloodwork and expect a PSA near nadir of 0.1. I have one (or more) castrate

GemCarbo (+MVasti) hair loss?
Friday 10/28 was day one of cycle two of this new regimen for me. It's my third round/line of infusion chemo. I was stable for almost two years on Lymparza. I was told to expect not to lose my hair but "maybe" "some" "thinning.". Today my hair is coming out in long groups of strands whenever I touch

Prostate Cancer-Thoughts
My husband was diagnosed in January 2020 with prostate cancer that had metastasized to his bones. His PSA was 30 and after the biopsy it was 130. He has had radiation three different times, Firmagon, Zytiga and Prednisone. His testosterone is low and his PSA did get as low as 2 but then started rising
