I've Dodged the Big Bullet, Again!
One of my good friends came in to my hospital. room and said that I used another one of my many (nine) lives. I'm not in the hospital, now. I am in my very comfortable home on a lake, hopefully getting better from the recent really scary diagnosis of acute liver failure. Even I was worried. The cancerous

Experience Taking Xeloda
I was diagnosed in 2019 with breast cancer, in 2020 with uterine, and this February with colon. I am NED with breast and uterine, and am now being treated for the colon cancer. I had a successful bowel resection, and am now about to start chemo. I would like to know how you tolerated Xeloda. Any tips

Chemo Update March 27, 2024
I was treated with 6 rounds of docetaxel in 2017/2018 when I was HSPC and I responded exceptionally well. I have been CRPC since 2022 and have tried abiraterone and Radium 223 (Xofigo). I just completed 7 rounds of docetaxel again and PSA went from 105 to 3.1 after 4 rounds then started doubling. Now

Pluvicto Question
Hi Fellow Warriors! Six months of Taxotere failed miserably. After 8 rounds, I was done. After chemo, my second PSMA-PET showed additional bone mets and a spread to the lymph nodes. My MO told me I was a good candidate for Pluvicto, so, three months after finishing Taxotere, I started that therapy

How long for hair (lashes/brows) to grow after nab Paclitaxel (Abraxane)?
Hi all, apologies if this question has been asked in the past. It's now 4 weeks from my 6th and last chemo (carboplatin and nab paclitaxel). I used the cold cap but it didn't exactly work on the crown of my head. I now have "some" hair on the scalp, honestly almost enough for me not to be embarrassed

Back pain
Hi I have for several months a good deal of back pain also radiating down the top half of both legs. I have prostate Mets in these areas but I am beginning to wonder if this pain which is similar to sciatica could be caused by something other than the mets. Any comment’s appreciated.

Meeting with our oncologist for castrate resistance metastatic prostate cancer

Chemo or no/not yet?
59 years old. Metastatic/high volume. PSA hit 366 before starting Abiraterone and Degarelix. Start Lupron next week. Negative on DNA test. Will see what PSA looks like next week after a month of ADT. My question chemo, no chemo or wait on chemo? Onco and Rad Onco both seemed to have a very soft attitude
