Israeli scientists: Breast cancer relapse in mice down 88% by adding drug to chemo
Erez has spent years investigating the collateral damage that
chemotherapy
can cause. Hair loss is well known, but lesser known is the growing body of research on
chemotherapy
, in some cases, raising the risk of metastatic relapse.

lung cancer & phelgm
I was diagnosed with stage 3 in feb. 2021 and proceeded with both chemo and radiation. Wound up with 3 bouts of pneumonitis that was pretty bad. Come late 2022 a scan revealed the cancer was back and growing. I started a tougher chemo regiment with immunotherapy and completed 8 of the 12 treatments

PSA stabilizing to 99.30 (from 3103), should we seek additional treatment or wait?
Hello everyone and thank you for this wonderful community for giving me so many resources. My dad was initially diagnosed at a very high PSA of 3103 and he is doing triplet therapy, he is about to take his fifth docetaxel chemo dose and it seems to have stabilized to 99.30. He has bone metastases since

Chemo mucositis?
After chemo session #5 I thought I had bronchitis; coughing up very thick mucus from down deep in the chest, but it cleared up in about 10 days, and is back again after chemo #6, so I'm guessing it's chemo induced mucositis. Anyone have tips for dealing with this beyond salt/baking-soda mouth washes

HER2 and ER positive breast cancer
I tripped over in the garden and fractured 2 ribs; while in hospital scans showed lesions; was referred to breast clinic and the cancer was found. I was originally scheduled for a lumpectomy but they found the HER2 & ER positive, so now chemo and targeted therapy followed by surgery and radiotherapy.

Pain at base of abdomen with stage 4 HGSOC.
I’ve had HGSOC stage 4 since April 2021. I was never offered surgery and I’ve just begun 6/8 sessions of Caelyx as third line chemo. I have a pain/ache at the base of my abdomen, it comes when I sit down and stand up and I also have it at night when I wake up to use the toilet. It’s alleviated slightly

Heading towards TAVR
I am elderly and have metastatic breast cancer which is kept under control with
chemotherapy
, targeted therapy and more ever-changing cancer drugs. Six and a half years ago, when first diagnosed, my heart was okay. Now, it seems it is a candidate for TAVR.
