Yes, the SE are BAD. I have lost all of my hair. My fingernails are discolored, lifting off and sore. I have

I was diagnosed with multiple Mets in August 2018. Started Lupron Nov. 2018. Over the years PSA has bounced up and down from low of 0.5 in March 2021 to high of 1.4 in June 2020. Mostly stayed 0.6 to 0.9. Ended 2022 at .67, but last two readings were 1.01 in March and .98 two days ago. Never had RP,

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.

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.

Update on swollen legs/feet
Hi, I posted 2 days ago that I was experiencing swollen legs and feet and was unsure if it was due to GSF injections. Had bloods done today prior to seeing oncologist. He felt the swelling was due to Gemcitabine. Apparently it is a common side effect!Only trouble now is my platelets are only 35, so

Health tips for first round of radio and chemo
my 76 yrs old mum was recently diagnosed with grade 4 brain tumour which was 90% removed this wk by craniotomy. She tolerated the craniotomy very well and was discharged the next day after surgery. Some numbness to left side but this was there prior to surgery and appears to have stayed the same thankfully

I need help with my attitude
So I haven’t written in a bit because I have been waiting to find out what my next line of treatment is. ( Thank you to everyone who responded to my last post about med change). Ibrance stopped working after a year and a half and Everolimus didn’t work at all. I am waiting to find out if I qualify

hair care with olaparib
has anyone tried hair colouring or smoothening when on olaparib. My grays have become prominent in the last year and my hairs are growing back curly (never had curls before in my life) after the chemo. It is not super important to me to do the colouring or smoothening, but if there is no danger at all
