Low platelets advice
Hi all, Mum has just had her 4th cycle of chemo but her platelets have been at their lowest so far and a little concerned. Chemo was delayed by almost a week as initial blood tests showed platelets at 48. They got back up to 112 so was safe to have the chemo, but I’m wondering if they will continue

Docetaxel
Anyone willing to share experiences with Docetaxel? Good, Bad, and Ugly. Any recommendations or advice to help with side effects etc. My husband is in year 7… He has been on the traditional SOC with ADT… Lupron, Firmagon, Nubequa, and lastly Zytiga. All have ceased working. His PSA has risen to

Very promising: PIP Polyspecific Integrin-Binding Peptide, a novel and very flexible platform
Basically, they have developed a technology that can simultaneously bind to different "proteins" expressed by cancers. This means a wider specificity. One cancer mutation could express for example KRAS 12C and another KRAS 12D (just an example using terms and mutation I know!) and the chemo drug would

pluvicto
Finished my second treatment last week. My PSA went from 10 to22 after the first round. Today after the second round it dropped to 15. Anyone else have a jump after the first treatment and then continued to decline for the remaining treatments. I have failed chemo and xtanti and have read that

Lymph Node Irradiation for a Potential Cure
I have read that some men have been cured from earlier posts that I have read. Currently I have been on abiraterone and Lupron for 21 months. I only had one docetaxel, before catching pneumonia, so chemo was halted by my oncologist, stating the chemo would kill me before the cancer. The one chemo

Continued Journey
Getting my forth chemo treatment today. This has been much easier than the O CHOP. It has been smooth sailing especially with the surgically implanted port.( I forgot to mention). I am starting to notice some fatigue and energy slow down which is quite natural. One more chemo treatment tomorrow then

Good day to all fellow warriors, I used to post as Arnie1970, but that account stopped working. After the initial scare of a stage 4 cancer diagnosis, a lot has happened. Four grand children were born( two boys, two girls). I stopped working, and we traveled a lot. Even though I stopped writing.

Travel insurance
I am finally in a position to go abroad after 18 since my diagnosis. I’m halfway through my chemo after a reoccurrence. Can anyone recommend a good insurance company?

Advice on cough
Hey everyone, hope we are all keeping safe and doing good. I have posted before about my mum who is fighting lung cancer.

Cancer Cell Blood Test
My oncologist has suggested I get the cancer cell blood test done. Has anyone had this test? What were the results? I have had severe side effects on all chemo and cancer drugs and my Oncologist has recommended it.

Ascites issues
I have recently been diagnosed with stage 4b womb cancer spread to ovaries and abdomen. My worst symptoms have come from ascites. I have had 2 chemo cycles and was really hoping that it would dry up by now. I have had 2 drains and although it is in no way accumulatiling like it was, my concern is that
