How fast should your PSA drop after the first ADT treatment.
My husband has stage 4. It is in his lungs, ribs, shoulder and spine. Plus a lot of the lymph nodes. No pain except when he broke his ribs just lying on his stomach. That is healing without the palliative radiation. How fast should his PSA drop. How will we know if this is working. I know this treatment

Looking for 2nd opinion at Duke re new bladder cancer

Next treatment options available for advancing disease
I have completed all scans available to me and they show new metastatic disease throughout my skeleton. PSA @ 4.65 ug/L. The disease continues to advance while being treated with Zoladex and abiraterone. I have switched prednisone for dexamethasone and haven't had an updated blood test yet to see if

Delayed neuropathy after chemotherapy?
My last chemo (Taxel / Carbo) was 6 weeks ago. Two days ago I felt neuropathy in my left leg. Now it involves both legs (below knees): shooting pain, numbness and pins and needles sensation. Also the ankles have become painful as well. I never experienced such severe and wide spread neuropathy during

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:

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! I’m stage 3c oc, surgery last March and finished chemo in October. As I had such a terrible time with white cell count, I’ve opted not to have Niraparib. I’ve read this book and was impressed by the author’s journey. I think my diet is pretty good but am trying to cut out
