Complementary therapies?
I have just come to the end of the chemo radiation and seemingly I now wait about three months before having a PET scan and a fibroscopy to see how effective the treatment has been and what might be the next steps. Just for my own sense of well being I am thinking about trying some complementary therapies

1st Recurrence
Hi, we received the results of my mums recent scan last week and it showed that she has lesions on both of her lungs and her liver. They are numerous and all around 1cm in size. It was a shock although not unexpected as her CA125 had been rising over the last 6 months. She is due to start the same

Things I Like About ADT
I know that no one, like NO ONE, actually wants to be on ADT. There are a lot of downsides to it, and complaints about the fatigue, lack of sex drive, etc. are a common theme on this forum. I'm about a year out now from starting on Zoladex shots (a drug that works in the same way as Lupron), and I

Hello. Low grade Serous
Hi everyone. I was diagnosed with low grade serous ovarian cancer in Sept 22, I’ve had 2 massive ops and chemo and now take Letrozole. My recent scans have been clear, which is the best news. I haven’t really reached out to many support groups but feel I need to as I feel pretty isolated with my experience

Peripheral neuropathy
Hi everyone, I hope everyone is safe during this awful weather I have been told in my latest review that I have Stage 1 peripheral neuropathy. Bit of a blow as having read up it means I have to tell DVLA as I shouldn’t drive. All treatments and appointments are an hour away by car, longer by bus. No

Hi Everyone!
Well, I've been on quite a journey. To say the least. I've had MS for22 years and I stopped all treatments back in 2018. I've had 17 years of injections. I still ended up in a wheelchair while on them. This July I was dx with Cancer of the mouth. It started with white patches. I had ALOT of Dr, PA, nurses

Anyone tried hyperbaric Oxygen therapy?
My bestie who is battling ovarian cancer is using this as part of her overcoming cancer plan and reckons it really helps. It gives her a boost of energy and seemes to have helped get her through the chemo stages with hardly any fatigue or sickness. It seems to be endorsed at least unofficially by many

Docetaxel only partially successful
I had a full body MRI scan this week at Royal Marsden in London. The purpose was to assess the effectiveness of docetaxel after 3 infusions. The results have been very disappointing, and I'm struggling to keep a sense of perspective - not least because I was feeling so good, and had seen all of my previous

Follow-up to my post
Thank you for all of your replies. My husband is now being very supportive and we had a good talk. I was so nervous on Tuesday when I went to get my blood test. My husband has been been incredibly supportive. My CA-125 is now down to 34 which is the normal range in my country. I did my 6th chemo session

Is my cancer castrate resistant?
Since detection of abdominal and pelvic mesastasis by PSMA scan in October 2018, intermittant Lupron was very effective in keeping my cancer under control until July 2022. From July 2022 until now I have been on continuous Lupron because PSA refused to become undetectable. From July 2022 until August

Antisapatory nausea
Hello! I am pretty sure I spelled antisapatory wrong. I am on Trodelvy. The first 2 months were very rough. I had nausea and fatigue. All the nausea meds made me sicker. I think my body adjusted and between Ativan and scopolimine patch it definitely got better. Unfortunately I have started

Cavernous Tumor & Rising PSA
My husband had triple therapy with docetaxel (finished chemo in January), darolutimide, and Firmagon/Lupron. Recently he developed what seemed like a sinus infection but was really a tumor in his sinus cavity and behind his eye socket wrapped around his carotid arteries on the plate of his skull (
