Clinical Trial Exceed ET
I have approached applying to participate in this clinical Trial. It is to determine the efficacy of using Ropeginterferon alfa-2b-njft for the treatment of Essential Thrombocythemia. It has been approved for use in the treatment of PV, but not ET in the US, as I understand it. When I read the study

Where's the fire in delaying/pausing chemo?
3 weeks ago I started chemo with the Cabazitaxel/Carboplatin combination (I'd rather not name the hospital for now) I had a bad reaction to the first infusion (it turned out that I had an undetected infection, so my immunity was rock-bottom) As a result of that experience (10 days in hospital, wiped

Pre-CRPC Supplements/Drugs - Potential Risks vs Rewards?
With some substances there could be a "tipping" point depending on the substance, the dosage and the patient's stage of cancer where the substance may have a higher chance of having a negative effect instead of positive. It usually relates to ROS levels. Adequate levels of ROS are important for cancer

Chemotherapy
, in its simplest form, is a treatment using any chemical to kill cancer cells.
Chemotherapy
can be compared to a dumb bomb, as opposed to a smart one. Bombs meant for military targets in world war 2 were dumb bombs.

Kisqali added to Letrazole
So I was diagnosed with stage 2b lobular BC on 3/2023. Had a double mastectomy on 5/2023 and radiation. Onco and mammaprint said “no chemo benefit”. 26 lymph nodes taken out and 2 positive. Now oncologist wants to add Kisqali to my treatment regimen even though I am “cancer free”. I am sure it is due

Triplet Therapy
My husband is going to start triplet therapy starting with a firmagon shot next week followed by chemo. How much is the typical gap between ADT and starting chemo - 2 weeks, 4 weeks ?

"Two Invitae CHEK2 variants of "unknown consequence""
Hello - My Hopkins MO says this genetics test indicates a weakness (CHEK2 is one of the 4 or 5 PCa related variants) he thinks this could have contributed to my premature, two year BCR after RP, so he will likely prescribe chemo sooner than later though PSA will be the prime indicator. Further he suggested

Docetaxel not working so stopped
I promised I would update you after my scan to see how the chemo was progressing. Well, the main reason for the chemo was that spots had appeared in my liver. Last week's CT scan showed that the spots have grown "significantly" so the chemo is not working. Also, my liver function blood test results -
