urethral constriction
Had chemo and then cystectomy 10 years ago. Last few years, kidney stones then UTIs, until lithotripsy for the stones. But have urethral constriction, so every 4 month I have stents put through my stoma. Has anyone heard of, or had the procedure done for the constriction using Optilume? Supposedly

High volume, advanced metastatic prostate cancer
Hello. I am looking for guidance. My dad (now 81) was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer at the initial point of diagnosis in the ER on 10/25/2022. It had spread to 8 bones and was all over his spine, hip, base of skull, etc, but also as far as the base of the skull, and shoulder. His PSA was

Lowered CA125 and a nugget of hope 🙏
After 2 chemo sessions of carbo & taxol plus Avastin, my blood test level has reduced from 750 to 586 which is the first positive news I have received since diagnosis mid December 👏 it has given me a huge boost! My CT scan is Tuesday 20 Feb to see if my huge mass has shrunk enough for surgery, if so

4th line palliative systemic options?
Oncologist phone call today was not the news we were hoping for.PSA had been at 20 past 4 months and hubby was diagnosed as stable. Monthly PSA blood work is done and this month PSA jumped to 29.

Post 2nd line chemo options
Hi everyone. I was hoping I could ask for some information. I am supporting my Mum (76) who was diagnosed with primary peritoneal cancer almost two years ago, initially thought was stage 3c and as it had affected a lymph node it was then upgraded to stage 4. She was treated with Paclitaxel and carboplatin

7 days from BMT
Hi all, I know it's been a while since I posted. I just wanted to let you all know that I'm 7 days from transplant, and just had my first lot of chemo today. I will admit I'm scared that this won't work and I'll have done it all for nothing. I've been told my odds are good with a 10/10 sibbling match

Cabazitaxel - memory issues?
Anyone had "memory issues" with chemo? My oncologists disagree with each other on the risk of memory issues for me at age 73. I had some "normal" transient "brain fog" at age 66 with docetaxel. My memory is as good as it was decades ago. I don't see anything online about cabazitaxel causing memory issues

I’ve just been told today I have recurrence and go back in 6 weeks to see my oncologist to see when treatment will start. I’ve read conflicting things about hair loss, my onc said I will only get some thinning to my hair…but I’ve read quite the opposite and that I will have total hair loss. I’ve already

treatment without surgery
hi, I’m new on here. First sorry to read and see what you are all going through, you are all very strong and brave. It’s my mum that has ovarian cancer stage 4, had 6 rounds of chemo then surgery - however the surgeon couldn’t operate as there was too much cancer to remove. My question is, has anyone

Diagnosed under 55
I’m looking specifically for men and partners of men who were diagnosed with de novo stage four prostate cancer at their initial diagnosis. The treatments are different and unfortunately so it the overall outlook. The younger men are diagnosed with PCa, the more aggressive the cancer tends to be.

Anybody with good results on Xeloda?
I was on Ibrance and Letrozole, then Verzenio and Faslodex and then Orserdu. Since Orserdu now failed, the next plan is Xeloda. I read here some reports about some bad side effects. My oncologist at Dana Farber gave me some choices and indicated that in my situation, Xeloda might be best. The

Not the odd one out any more
Wiping out all of the sensitive cancer cells with high doses of
chemotherapy
removes the competition for the resistant ones, allowing their numbers to expand.
