Have you experience of Chemotherapy and underactive thyroid?
I was wondering if anyone has experience of
chemotherapy
and underactive thyroid? I have continued to take 75 T4 and 20 T3. It’s difficult to know if the fatigue / sleep problems are to do with the thyroid or chemo. many thanks.

Early breast cancer
Then have been told lumpectomy, radiotherapy and /or
chemotherapy
. It's oestrogen and progesterone driven. I am on hrt, I'm perimenopausal. I also had a heart attack in 2021, so this is another worry with surgery and the amount of tablets I'm on.

My diagnosis after 6 years, Lymphoma EMZL, AL Amyloidosis and Myeloma
Due to the other conditions I have, I refused
chemotherapy
so I am on a wait and watch for now. It has been very difficult for me but I have learnt to accept it. I am taking each day as it comes. I have since noticed I have become an infections magnet. I hope this rant is not too much.

when treatment ends
I talked to a friend who has undergone
chemotherapy
and is cancer free and she said she’s more depressed after treatment than during. Any thoughts? Thanks so much in advance.

Help for Appetite
My 84 year old Uncle is finishing
chemotherapy
(metastases to bones, brain, lungs). Was in excellent shape/health until he wasn't. Anyway, he is unable to eat and is losing weight daily, quite weak. Any suggestions for stimulating appetite?

A break from chemo
hello, I have MBC, essentially I have been on some form of
chemotherapy
for over 2.5 years. The most recent medication is working well. However, I am feeling burnt out mentally and emotionally with the chemo. I am considering taking a 3 month break from chemo. Has anyone done this?

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

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.

Clear Cell Progression
My taxol/carboplatin & Avastin
chemotherapy
treatment was discontinued after 3 infusions, as CT scan showed progression of tumors, and invasion into my liver. The doctors at UCSF have not much to offer as no targetable gene mutations were identified.

Adavanced Prostate Cancer with widespread bone Metastases with pain.
The local Oncologist has once again offered
chemotherapy
, even though he said based on “WHO frailty 2 at best” could my husband cope, considering when he had
chemotherapy
in 2010, 14 years younger, he was neurogenic twice and suffered multiple pulmonary embolisms that is why he is on Warfarin Just

Primary Peritoneal Cancer
After consulting with onocologist and gynecologist/oncologist it was decided to do 3 rounds of
chemotherapy
then debulking surgery followed by 3 more rounds of chemo. After first 3 rounds I had a very positive response with major shrinkage of tumor.

My discussion with chatGPT about senescence in PC induced by radiation and chemotherapy.
Q. Can adt cause senescence? A. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) primarily aims to reduce or block male hormones like testosterone that fuel prostate cancer growth. While ADT can significantly shrink tumors and lead to remission in many cases, it does not directly cause cellular senescence. However
