CA 27.29 Blood Testing
Hi All, It's been about 3 years(2020) since I was diagnosed with HER2 + breast cancer. I had undergone a double mastectomy and a full year of chemo. During my twice a year check-ups (every 6 months) I was always given a Cancer Antigen( CA 27.29) blood test, but with this visit this test was not done

Hi all, new here, and diagnosed with Ovarian cancer. I had a huge tumor removed last week; now waiting for the biopsy results. A second surgery is planned to removed the womb, other ovary and lymph nodes, just in case of spread, though the surgeon is confident that he got the whole tumor out in one and

Hi ….from a newly dx’d comrade from the UK
I’m 56 and I’ve recently been dx’d with lobular ER+ breast cancer (2cm), go back to see consultant on Monday for MRI results. I have a lumpectomy & sentinel lymph node removal scheduled for the 28th March. Drs Initial plan was for removal, tamoxifen & chemo….but that may have changed since MRI

PSA slooooowly rising.
Hi. To cut it short, I have Stage IV Pca.At diagnosis (Nov.2020) my PSA was 66. Had a few sessions of chemo and Firmagon. That was insufficient after a 4-5 months so Xtandi (2 tablets - half dose) was added. My PSA went down to <0.10 for a couple of months. Then rose to 0.12 - the 0.14 and it's now

Xtandi (enzalutamide) alone is superior to ADT alone at preventing metastases in "high-risk" recurrent men
"High-Risk"recurrence was defined as men who have had primary therapy (prostatectomy or radiation) but have had rising PSA but no detectable (on bone scan/CT) metastases yet and T≥150 ng/dl, and: • PSA doubling time ≤ 9 months, or • PSA≥ 1 ng/ml post-prostatectomy, or • PSA≥ nadir+2 ng/ml post-primary

Off Abiraterone ?
When I started chemo Abiraterone was discontinued. A recent post suggested that lowering T is even more important if castrate resistant. So why was Abiraterone discontinued? I have an infusion and appointment with substitute MO tomorrow and will try to remember to ask this but would like the opinion

Injections after Caelyx
Hi All. Well I’ve just had my first infusion of Caelyx. I’ve been told I done need to inject Filgrastim. I asked the chemo nurse to check and she said no injections. Has anyone else had Caelyx with no filgrastim afterwards? Thank you. Gill X

Mr. Spouse 21 is on rewind: Stable again!
The prompt says: "Tell Your Story." Well, it's my husband's story almost identical to 5 months ago, 3 months before that, and multiple months before that, so I'm repeating the posting from 5 months ago below. He's stable again with nearly identical numbers. ALP 38, PSA 0.10. He was a Gleason 9 now in

Seeking advice from Lynparza, Rubraca or Zejula patients.
Hello all, I'm here in search of some guidance as this is my 1-year mark since I began maintenance treatment with Lynparza. About 2 years ago I was diagnosed with ovarian high grade mullerian carcinoma - stage 3b. After a left oophorectomy, I began a regimen of 6 rounds of the combo Taxol/Carboplatin

Next Step?
I have been treated for more than 10 years (except for 3 vacations during the first 5 years) and for the most part have been on Lupron and Zytiga.

Post Xofigo, where do we go from here?
I've finished all 6 rounds of Xofigo in December. My ALP dropped to the lowest in 2 years, bone scans have shown stable but active disease, MRI the same. However my PSA has bounced around from the mid 40"s to 70 and the last 2 jumping to 124 and 144 respectively.I've been told that the PSA jump following

I am only 1yr post op with N2 M0, l refused ?? or should l say was sort of advised chemo would not really give much more than 5% to the 5yr survival.

Has anyone been on Niraparib twice?
I have just finished my third line of chemo and CT was very good. CA125 is 8. My consultant has said I can go back on Niraparib as maintenance if I want to. I was on Niraparib for fifteen months between first and second recurrence. I’d like to know if anyone else has been given the same PARP twice ?

Hello eyebrows, my old friend
I don’t quite know how to put this, or where this post will end up. I have had super thin/missing eyebrows since iv chemo in 2016. Was on Arimidex follow up for 5 years and noticed that they never returned. Fast forward to my current ibrance/faslodex and xgeva protocol and more of the same. Unit
