Xeloda after IV Chemo
Just wondering about Oral Xeloda after 6 rounds of IV Chemo didnt have the exact desired results we wanted. Wondering if there are times Xeloda achieved clear Margins on Liver Mets when IV Chemo didnt after 6rounds. Thanks for any input.

Positiv result of cooling cap dependence on "the chemo drug"?
My friend is on Enhertu and she took the last two cycles cooling caps, the version with freezer. The result wasn't so good. Now she heard, that the reason for this could be the typ of chemo drug. Knows someone of you something about this? Or have somebody an idea if this could be possible? I'm looking

Dad with Stage 4 PCa - Need some words of wisdom...again please!
Hi everyone. Just got back from appointment with Dad's oncologist. To keep you up to speed - 3 months ago, his ADT injections stopped working and his PSA started to climb up slowly. Oncologist put Dad on Enzalutamide - been on it for 6 cycles - tolerated well but his PSA has gone from 76 to 87 in one

I have an amazing ability to pick relevant podcasts while driving. Just had my blood work done in preparation of starting Pluvicto and not being able to choose wisely while driving I picked this podcast which i have heard before and have even advocated on this forum before. Dr Chetty is so brilliant

immunotherapies and DCVax-L
His treatment plan is 6 weeks of radiotherapy with
chemotherapy
, then 4 weeks rest, then 6 months of chemo. I'm interested in people's experiences of immunotherapies, particularly DCVax-L - has anyone done this? or investigated?

Hi All, Fathers latest PSA reading is 3.87 (up from 2.3 in 9/23) , he was switched from Enza to Abi last month but apparently it hasnt worked. He was also tested for germline mutations and found to be BRCA 2 +. His blood counts are relatively low with Hgb at 10.7 and RBC at 3.9 What are the options

PMR treatment without prednisone
However he insisted due to my raised C reactive protein & ESR I would not be able to continue without starting 2yrs of known damaging drug therapy of prednisone / methotrexate (
