I had a seizure June 21 and they found a tumour on my temporal lobe. Had it removed, well as much as they could and they also found another small one where they can’t operate. Found out it was grade 4 but since then had radio therapy and a years chemo pills. Through all this I felt ok with little side

Mammograms
diagnosed HGSOC December 2019. BRCA 2 somatic only. Have had standard chemo, debulking + 2 years of Olaparib and doing well to date.

MPN ET, Hydroxycarbamide & wrist pain
I'm not imagining this. My wrists hurt like hell. I can still do normal things okay, but I'm afraid of twisting motions. The discomfort disrupts sleep every night, though, apart from one night, it does not completely prevent me from sleeping. I have MPN ET. I'm on 12 x 500 mg hydroxycarbamide per

Update on chemo
Saw my consultant today over the start of chemo , he said as mine was at an early stage I am only having Carboplatin for an hour every session and as he told me in his words it’s “mopping up “ anything they didn’t see during my operation so fingers crossed 🤞 x

Fitbit or treadmill more accurate?
I just completed my W8, D3 run. I was using an 8 week program, so I did 30 minutes today. I suffered pretty horribly through my two 28 minute runs, so I took the advice here and slowed down just a bit. What a difference! No suffering at all! I’m really happy. I’m at not quite 2 1/4 miles on my Fitbit

Waiting time for Xofigo after failed Lu177 PNT2002 ?
On the day before my 3rd infusion of Lu177 PNT2002, my bone scan shows increase in size of my old mets and numerous new mets. It is obvious that the Lu177 didn't work in my case. Meanwhile the PSA kept rising from 23 to 41 in 4 weeks. On, 3-21-23, I have declined the 3rd shot of Lu177 PNT2002. I kicked
