Liver lesions
My husband Scott (age 70, stage IV prostate cancer, widespread bone mets) had a PET scan a couple of weeks ago to see if his Pluvucto treatment is having the desired effect. His results were mixed, with some mets doing a bit better, some worse, and a couple of new ones since the last scan. A new

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.

CLL Treatment/Experiences
This is my first time on this site and I hope to hear how other people have experienced their first round of chemo for CLL and if they had any negative side affects.

Chemo and Flying short haul
I need some advice. I have advanced OC and was diagnosed with recurrence in April 2023 starting carboplatin and calyx last week. I have a city break planned flight is for one hour but we travel one week exactly after my next chemo session. I would love to go but am I being unrealistic ?

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.

LGSOC located in pleura
HiIs there anyone whose lgsoc is located in the pleura? I was diagnosed in June 2020. My ovaries were removed as part of a hysterectomy in 2008 hence the migration to the pleura. Debulking was to take place but surgeon said there was too much cancer. I have had chemo for secondaries. So it's incurable

Have you been on Gemcitabine (Gemzar)?
Hello, I am starting Gemcitabine tomorrow and am wondering if anyone has advice on this chemo? Is it well tolerated? A nurse told me today I should get a port, my Oncologist said I should be fine without one. I had a terrible time with Enhertu and extreme nausea, I’m hoping this drug won’t be as hard

ca125 up from last reading
I’m 49 and in 2019 was diagnosed with stage 1c2. It was found in pathology after having ovaries removed prophylactically due to finding out I was BRCA1 positive. I had 3 rounds of taxol and carboplatin. I might mention that my ca125 was 8 so never indicated cancer. During chemo my number rose to 9.

ca125 result variations
I have been taking ca125 test every 2 months since starting olaparib few months back. From an initial reading of 700 during diagnosis, it went down to 10 mid chemo and 4.4 after surgery and 6th chemo. In the last 3 tests, the readings were 4.5, 5.1 and 6.4 (reference 0 to 35). Are such minor upticks

After BCR and PSA Return: An Update on My Treatment Path
Armed with that information, I opted for what some might consider an aggressive treatment regimen: the "triple play" of Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT)/Nubeqa,
Chemotherapy
, and Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT).

What follows Lupron and Zytiga?
Hi- I am 10+ years on Lupron and Zytiga (aberaterone), which included 3 vacations during first 5 years. Left hip was radiated (a 2nd time) last June when PSA started to rise (to low numbers) after scan showed my largest tumor, located in my left acetabulum, was “active”. PSA returned to <.05 once again
