PSA down but mets increasing?
I've been on ADT + Xtandi for about a year (see my Bio for details) and my PSA has been slowly and steadily reducing over that time - now down to 0.05. However, my 3 CT scans (last August, December and last month) are showing a slight increase each time in the size of my lymph node mets and the bone

Next Steps?
Good morning my fellow warriors. I have reached another cross roads in my treatment. I was set up to have HDR and SbRT as salvage treatment, but a PSMA scan showed disease progression to more lymph nodes which caused my Radiation Onc. to cancel the HDR. My regular ONC is now recommending Chemo after

My results and treatment plan after my Cystoscopy OP.
I got a telephone call early morning last week after my Cystoscopy and biopsies. Although earlier this year they said I could not have BCG again - Oncology nurse told me I was having a shorter course of BCG ever week for three weeks, Should really have been spaced, but mo matter. After a month or

Tumor Lysis Syndrome: What ( CLL ) Patients Need to Know (Leukemia and Lymphoma Society podcast)
As cancer cells are dying off, either spontaneously or in response to
chemotherapy
, a number of electrolytes, including phosphate and uric acid end up in the bloodstream and can end up precipitating in the kidneys and ultimately causing a lot of organ dysfunction.

Six cycles of Lu-177 treatment
The side effects are still much better than when he had
chemotherapy
but he is 12 years older so this makes a difference. The standard treatment offered before Lu 177 was R223 or further
chemotherapy
which nearly killed him the last time.

I’m scared of treatment
Some years ago one of my eye doctors told me that my corneal graft could be at risk of rejection if I have
chemotherapy
due to the immune reactions caused by chemo. I have so far only read some of the booklet about venetoclax and obinotuzimab.

My Journey - Breast Cancer
So far - I'm Lucky. On March 8th - my husband found a lump on my right breast. He was so sweet - Honey - when was your last Mamo. July 2023 - Why. And then he showed me what he felt. After a sleepless night - right to the Gyno - no worries about apts. I needed to see them. They got me a Mamo

I’ve been through
chemotherapy
in 2020 Relapsed early 2021 and went through second series of chemo - finished March 2021. I’ve had no energy since. Maybe due to long covid as well as recovery from intense chemo. I thought I would give Couch to 5K a go but worried it might be too much. Any tips?

My Experience with Chemo/Radiotherapy
I was diagnosed with a brain tumour back in December 2012. At that time it was misdiagnosed as a GBM4 but a recurrence in 2019 sent me to hospital again where it was finally rediagnosed as an AO3. Like the GBM4, an AO3 is still terminal but gives one plenty more time on this earth. I never had radiotherapy

Thought I would never say this but I’m struggling!!!!
I’m 7.5 years into the journey aged 57 yrs old. I have done chemo, (x3) radiation and Pluvicto. It feels like the Pluvicto accelerated the disease into the whole right side of my pelvis. Scans were ugly and for some reason I have agreed to jevtana as I live for my family. Trouble is I'm miserable and

Pluvicto works but at what cost
70 yo with Stage 4, multiple bone mets, on Orgovyx daily and Xgeva every 3 months. DaVinci in past. Previously on Firmagon, Xtandi worked for awhile, nothing with Xofigo and a few rounds of Jevtana didn’t help and caused problems, also had localized XRT - but had to have chemo to qualify for Pluvicto
