Hi ladies I’ve seen my oncologist today for results on my latest CT scan. It’s showing 2 new growths in addition to several others which have been slowly creeping in which weve been watching and waiting on. I’ve been on Letrozole for few months which hasn’t worked. One of the new ones is in my left

Sadly Pluvicto did not work ...
After receiving the results from my PSMA PET scan at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, I am sad to say my disease is progressing. I had four Pluvicto infusions with no SE's what so ever.. I felt that they mirrored my Docetaxel treatments again other than my hair falling out I had no other SE's. which

POST PROSTATECTOMY RECURRING PSA DIAGNOSED BY PSMA PET #1: ARE PSMA PETS #2+ THEN LIMITED OR DENIED TO CONFIRM CONTINUED PSA RECURRANCE?
Does anyone have experience receiving a total of 2 or more PSMA PETs to confirm PSA recurrance as evidence of the rate of prostate cancer metastisis prior to a second treatment decision to consent to additional treatment options, beyond prostatectomy, namely, hormonal treatment ( ADT) or

And so it goes.
I didn't want to write this maybe because I won't have to admit it until I wrote it down - but I owe it to you guys. So after radiation and 2 yrs of ADT/Zytiga where my PSA was undetectable - i went on a vacation. Then my PSA started to come back - I had an initial PETscan in October 2022 which showed

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 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

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
