How many treatments of Chemo can the body handle
I have had 7 cycles of docetaxel and 3 of cabazitaxel. The oncologist wants to continue with another 7 cycles of cabazitaxel. My question is how much of this poison can the body handle. Does this chemo destroy things permanently in the body. I know that the fatigue is taking over. I couldn't run

I have so missed taking the time to post and read posts from the group. Even today I should be doing 'thank you' notes. After less than a year after the initial diagnosis my husband died of lung cancer. It was March 2nd, a little over a week after our 49th wedding anniversary. He had gone through the

My Cancer Journey Repost
It's time for a repost of my two-part cancer journey diary. Some "starting the journey readers" might find it helpful. Originally posted as two Health Unlocked "replies" - maybe I should make them an actual full "post". So I am pleased to report that
other than fatigue, I feel sort of normal right

Looking for options after Verzenio.
Spoke with my onc today and she said if Verzenio fails she’s thinking about Afinitor. Said I’m running out of options and IV chemo might not be far off after that. I’ve been on Faslodex, Anastrozole, Ibrance and Verzenio is my 3rd line of treatment. No mutations. I feel like there are many more options

Cataract surgery
I often read the experiences on CLL shared by our group on HealthUnlocked, and it's reassuring. I was diagnosed with CLL in 2013. After a long period of watch and wait (W&W), I was given only 2 cycles of chemo (BR) in 2019 instead of the planned 6 cycles due to severe side effects. Fortunately, I experienced

Disappointed
After Lupron, NUBEQA and Zytega … and a recent FDG Cat scan Several nodes lit up in the periodonal aorta area of his abdomen. Being totally right up against the aorta, a decision was made to remove them robotically. Surgery went well. All lymph’s were removed that lit up on the scan. docs felt PSA

Compression fracture or something worse?
Hello! My dad has been battling stage four prostate cancer for nearly nine years. He's done remarkably well, all things considered. He's had chemo, hormone therapy, immunotherapy, radiation, and second line hormone therapy. Along the way he has had heart issues and also CNS lymphoma (brain cancer).

Running post cancer
So a shock diagnosis of colon cancer last year, surgery and chemo and I'm now doing c25k for a second time hoping that exercise can have some beneficial effect in keeping me healthy. Anyone else in this situation?

Prostate cancer morphed into NEPC
Now I'm on carboplatin, etoposide and Atezolizumab-
chemotherapy
and immunotherapy. The following article from Healthline is a great description of what took place, and possibly why.

What IV chemos have worked for you?
Hi all, I’ve failed on both Enhertu (which shrunk my cancer but cause pneumonitis) and now Trodelvy (did not work at all - had major progression in first 3 months). I now have extensive liver mets and new mets in my spine & pelvic bone. I’ll be meeting with my doctor Monday to discuss next steps,

Strong negative reaction to first Docetaxel treatment
I am participating in an NIH study combining Docetaxel with an immunotherapy. I had my first treatment of only Docetaxel this Tuesday. I lasted 2 minutes and 7cc before I had a severe reaction - severe flushing (glowing red from head to toe), difficulty breathing, sweating, uncontrollable shivering.
