Prognosis Stage
Then lung cancer last year, was cleared but its now returned.He is currently receiving Immunotherapy as
chemotherapy
wasn't helping. My question is why when we ask the consultant or her Registrar for a prognosis they don't know, we haven't been told what stage it's at.

I have recently been diagnosed with Oesophageal cancer, T3N+ After a PET scan they also found a ganglion near where the stomach meets the oesophagus. In early discussion they were talking about five weeks radio/chemo combo and then surgery. The surgery sounds scary but from my googling the only

Hi Everyone, I'm new to this but so glad I found it. Thought I'd introduce myself....no point in holding back!
Hi, This October 2023, will mark the 25th 'Anniversary' of when, at the age of 26, I was wheeled into Theatre for an Operation that lasted 7hrs. I had 8 months previously been told that there was nothing wrong with me when I kept going & phoning the Doctors as my Period (as I thought it was) came

Two trees, four textures; a mixed media painting
Really this was just playing around with my materials. It was fun. The composition is meant to invite each viewer in turn to examine each tree as a separate painting -- a kind of stand-alone. I hope you enjoy them. On a darker note, I have an appointment with my oncologist on Monday afternoon to discuss

Q & A with my husband's MO
I'm posting this in case someone finds it helpful. The scans show visceral as well as bone mets. That plus a steep rise in his PSA and the start of chemo really soon have us in a sober state of mind. Continuing to lean on Jesus for strength. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wXoa3LDjRUyZ4dE9wLJQAg32jRcEISF4v3KeSOT83gg

My Recovery so far post Stem cell Transplant
Sorry I've been absent for so long, my stem cell transplant journey has been a difficult one to be honest and only now do I feel able to be able to tell the story so far. Thank you to everyone who kindly messaged me to see how I was and apologies for asking so long to respond. I really appreciated

What’s next after pirtoimbrutinib?
My husband has been on pirtobrutinib for one year in October. He was granted a compassionate use authorization by the FDA since it had not yet been approved by the FDA. His oncologist told him yesterday the efficacy of this drug is 12-18 months. His journey so far has been bundamustine chemo

Day 2 Enhertu infusion
The first day the infusion protocols went very smoothly. Received saline fluids first, 3 premeds for nausea etc. then the Enhertu. No pain no side effects. My infusion nurse suggested a port for me. My vein in my arm is scarred. So port it is. I am drinking 💦 and eating light carrots 🥕 🍦 🥗! No nausea

Recurrence in spleen
Had chemo and debulking surgery 2 years ago. Stage 3 HGS OC. 1st recurrence 3 months ago with lesions in spleen and peritoneum. Consultant advises watch and wait and does not advise splenectomy. CA125 76, no symptoms. Just wondering if anyone out there has lesions in their spleen and what treatment

Could this be the start of neuropathy?
I had my first Docetaxel infusion 6 days ago. Due to the Dexamethasone before and the Prednisone since, I have been really well. In the gym most days, and eating really well. I have had no side effects - until today. It's a minor thing, but both thumbs are a little sore. It's not a tingling sensation

When to introduce ADT after RP failure

Help please!! Rucaparib to Letrozole.
Hi everyone. Hope all you warriors are doing well. I wondered if any of you have any words of wisdom for us? My mum was diagnosed in May 2019, had chemo and debulking surgery, which worked amazingly well. Sadly, reoccurred within 10months of being NED. Again, had Chemo and secondary debulking. Mum
