Care to care for a caregiver?
I feel pretty lost today, and could use a little TLC. Even if none of you can relate to this particular situation, me just making the time to ask for support feels good to me: like I'm doing what I deserve. My Joe has not bounced back after ending chemo in December. (His second assault with chemo:

I'll head over to the Caregiver site directly, but I count on you warriors for SO much information. I always start here. I updated Joe's history here but would really appreciate any thoughts you survivors can share about where we are now, realizing no one really knows........ My Joe has not bounced

Frustration
Hey there, I am a little frustrated about my current treatment - especially because it seems that none of you are or have been on this IV chemo alone (Carboplatin) like I am.....there is a lot of feedback on side effects etc on the ovarian cancer site and lots of feedback with it being used with other

Olaparib side effects
Hi, I have been on olaparib now for just over 2 months, the side effects were worse than chemo so they have reduced my dose slightly. My body is in constant pain I feel almost wooden, limbs, joints and back pain! Does anyone have any advice to make this easier to live with! Thanks x

When a surgeon says he "got it all," it doesn't mean he did
Although cancers can be completely removed through surgery, cancer cells can also spread to lymph nodes and other parts of the body despite tumor removal, and follow-up
chemotherapy
might be necessary.

My chemo experience
I started with fludarabine and rituximab which wasn't great. I had feelings of hot and cold, spots before my eyes, vertigo and blacking out. My haematologist was there in minutes, lowered my dose and I was able to complete the course over 6 hours without further adverse effects. Subsequent treatments

How to Starve Cancer
Good morning lovely ladies! Iām stage 3c oc, surgery last March and finished chemo in October. As I had such a terrible time with white cell count, Iāve opted not to have Niraparib. Iāve read this book and was impressed by the authorās journey. I think my diet is pretty good but am trying to cut out

PSA rising during triplet therapy. What to ask the oncologist?
Hello to this wonderfully helpful community, my dad's initial PSA was extremely high (3103), so I don't know what to expect. The treatment has been going for four months and a half since ADT (2 months and a half since Zytiga and Docetaxel was added). He started ADT on December, Zytiga and Docetaxel

Adding TurkeyTail (or other Mushrooms) to my current treatment
I'm a 70 year old, healthy person who has faced no major health issues (or addressed them quickly.) I'm retired and live alone. After pushing for PSA test, I had 6 in 6/22 and 20 in 8/22. Biopsy in 9/22 showed Gleason 4+5=9 and classified as stage 4. Bone scan and Cat showed small metastices in spine

Glutamine and RLS Does anyone have any info please?

Next Steps?
Prostatectomy May 2018; Radiation April-June 2019;
Chemotherapy
August-December 2019. Was on Firmagon (monthly) and bicalutamide until April 2021 when oncologist suggested I go off it as my PSA was undetectable. Bloodwork every month. Started to rise this summer. it is now 0.30.

worry about the future with stage 4 cancer and RLS and ILMD
Surgery for this is not possible so I am going to have an aggressive
chemotherapy
starting in January. So I feel my chance of giving up Ropinerole (4mg a day) has gone. Now I am really concerned that the chemo drugs will affect the Ropinerole detrimentally. Also what about my end of life?

Why do we stop treatment
I have to post my experience of having once stopped treatment. I see various posts here with guys asking about stopping their treatments. I started treatment when I was 52 years old. ADT, Chemo and radiation. After treatment PSA went to undetectable. After 2 years with undetectable PSA I thought I was
