Chemotherapy or Pluvicto
I just completed Radium 223 treatment. PSA has been doubling since I failed Zytiga. Last scans show progression. I am offered chemo or a trial with Pluvicto. The cancer is throughout my bones. What should I do. I have had chemo at the beginning of this journey and it worked then.

Anecdotal, but running could boost immunity
In the title essay a friend of the author is taking part in a clinical trial, having
chemotherapy
for pancreatic cancer. As you will know, Chemo destroys white blood cells which provide immunity, so you have to have a high enough count to continue with each session.

Neutropenic fever landed me in the hospital after 1st Taxotere infusion
We found that FN following
chemotherapy
was associated with a long-term increased risk of infection, with an approximately 2-fold increase in risk among patients who had experienced FN compared with patients who had not developed FN within 180 days after initiation of
chemotherapy
.

Any proof that removing a tumor off prostate bed by radiation or surgery is better than just systemic therapy ?

Travel Insurance questions on Acalabrutinib
I am on Acalabrutinib (monoclonal antibody as I understand it) but I am offered answers of
Chemotherapy
or Immunotherapy to choose from. This is further complicated by the fact that I am also on Trastuzumab (another monoclonal antibody for breast cancer). How do I get round this? What do I say?

Hi guys, not been here for a while. My heamotologist rang this morning saying my red cells are low,and I'm anaemic even though I take an iron tab every day. Been on watch and wait with cll for over 14 years. A few years ago a different heamotologist gave me an iron infusion as he said levels were low
