Essential Thrombocythaemia PIP?
Hi just thought would say hi as not been on for awhile 😊 I’m considering applying for PIP … I’ve had ET now for 27 years CALR… chemo for 22 years. I’ve had to reduce my hours and leave my job as an NHS Paramedic… fatigue was killing me and just had to leave. I’m a trainer now working part time, money

After your endometrial cancer diagnosis, did you do any research? If so, where did you find the most useful information about your cancer?
I was diagnosed in 2015 with Stage 1A Grade 3 endometrial cancer. I had a robotic hysterectomy, with BSO and removal of 16 lymph nodes, followed by 6 rounds chemo and 5 of brachytherapy. After chemo, I was followed with CT scans every 6 months until 2018. From that point, I have not had a recurrence

For those who have followed me, my pc has taken a backseat to my Glio tumor. I had SBRT and Eligard for my PC in June after my 2 yr vaca and that seems to be addressed. Since my last post, I have had brain surgery to debulk my Glio followed by radiation/chemo that all went surprisingly well - i have

Interesting PSA observation
For my prostate cancer journey, please see my bio. In 06/2023 I was also diagnosed with testicle lymphoma, maybe as a side effect of earlier radiation. Testicle has been removed, PET/CT & co showed no other evidence of cancer. So I perform four cycles of R-CHOP chemo regimen. Why I post this here? After

Verzenio and gray hair
This is a strange question! Has anyone noticed less graying of their hair since taking Verzenio? After my chemo and total hair loss, my new hair growth was salt & pepper colored, mostly gray looking. So when it was long enough I started getting my hair colored brown as I did precancer. A year later

Radium223 has not been a success, is Enzalutamide a good next option?
Stage 4 PCA for last 3 years. Had 6 cycles of Chemo and then Abiraterone for 18+ months (PSA dropped to 0.2 then more recently rose to 58 in June '23 ). Abiraterone eventually stopped working and I was able to join Radium 223 trial. Completed 5 of 6 cycles of Radium 223, then elected to stop since
