Surgery was hugely succesful, thank the Lord! 😇🙏

They got it all out, easily & cleanly, full radical hysterectomy and appendix. Signs they

2Nd Biopsy in 3+ years of Bone Met
Greetings All, A question about biopsies: Upon PC-stage 4 diagnosis per discovery of pc lesions causing spinal compression in 2020, my husband had a biopsy taken during his back surgery-which showed his already metastatic pc not to be an inherited condition. He went on to radiation of the spinal

Immunotherapy
I'm just starting out on immunotherapy and would like to share experiences with others on the same drug. - Pembrolizumab. I'm due my 2nd treatment tomorrow. For someone who avoids taking anything stronger than paracetamol, it's all a bit scary. I haven't met anyone with lung cancer yet, and other

Starting Chemo
Starting Taxatere next week. Just got notified they want to put a port in. My MO said 18 weeks of weekly infusions. I thought the "Normal" was 18 weeks once very 3 weeks for infusions? Any comments on this and any tips to help tolerate the chemo. Thanks

At what point for scan ?
Hi. Currently just had # 4 chemo. Live in Canada so PSMA has never been done . Bone scan and CT scan. I'm wondering at what point it would be good to get a scan ( they already said it would probably be a CT scan as that's all we have in my province and eventually another bone scan which He has to fly

Heading down hospice road too…
I’m so sorry to hear about your dad 😢 I’m in a very similar situation with my dad, age 71, Gleason 9 with Mets to bone, lungs, lymph nodes and now a tumor in his bladder. Zytiga worked for him for years, but last January started with more bone Mets and lymph nodes, zytiga restarted and failed. Tried

Chemo progress
PSA 139 @ DX1-2024 started Orgovyx and Nubeqa dropped PSA to 62.93. Started Chemo 1st infusion..PSA 23.3 2nd infusion..PSA 11.26 3rd infusion.. PSA 7.45 Just got my labs back for the 3rd infusion. Just feel disappointed as I was hoping for a larger drop and seemed to have stalled out. Does it look

Spotting - ovarian cancer
I have stage IIIb ovarian clear cell, and I had my first chemo infusion 10 days ago. I've just started to feel a little better after all the side effects. A worrisome new symptom has come up today (Sunday), which was a little spotting when I went pee. I had a total hysterectomy in September, and I can't

Up until a week ago it looked like the local mountain ski season here in Vancouver was going to be a complete washout, as in zero ski days all season. Boy did that change fast.

Blood work question
My husband just got round # 4 of chemo yesterday and bloodwork was done the day before. Doctor not concerned with anything on the blood work and did say that it is expected to change with each round of chemo. Everything looked good and hardly any changes but one flag I see was the Red cell distribution

Stage 4 OC — Deposits on liver
Hi ladies! Could do with a bit of advice, as am spiralling a bit. For context, my Mum (54) was diagnosed with HGS stage 3c/4a OC in Jan 2022. BRACA gene negative. Immediately started three rounds of chemo, then had optimal debunking surgery and full hysterectomy, and continued with three more rounds
