Clarification on ALP and LDH markers
I was wondering if anyone can fill me in on Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) changes with second time docetaxel treatment. What do these values help indicate and is it normal to have them higher after one dose of chemo? I figure it takes a while for the chemo to have time to

Finally received financial assistance from hospital
I just wanted to thank all the ladies who offered kind advice a while back regarding financial assistance for
chemotherapy
co-pays. Even with Medicare, my hospital bill kept climbing. Well, I was finally granted 100% assistance with co-pays. What a load off my mind! 🙂 Sashay

Chemo for Lupus
Hi all, After an escalation in neurological Lupus symptoms and despite already having biological therapy and steroid infusions, I’m now going to be having
chemotherapy
. I’m a bit nervous to say the least. I’ve been told it’ll be over 6 weeks. Anyone else had this?

My Turn to Ask a Question
No previous requirement for
chemotherapy
. Two thirds of the participants get the LU-177 and one third get the best SOC. In my case, this would mean coming off Xtandi and going onto Zytiga (abiraterone).

Mets to the lung
Having battled through three lines of chemo, Avastin and a parp, I have now discovered that the cancer has progressed to my lungs.I see my oncologist next week, and don't know if he will have any suggestions, but what I am looking for from you ladies is how to deal with the breathlessness.

O2 saturation and chemo
I finish my last does of paxlovis and starting to feel just slightly human. I thought the 4th dose of doxytaxel was horrible but it seems it is largely due to the covid. I ended up spending the whole day in the ER (with travel) for no reason. I has having widely fluctuating O2% and pulse I don't remember

HE4 increasing
Hello All Amazing Women! My sister had a full debulking in July along with chemo after and is now on maintenance with an Oliparb drug and Avastin infusions every 3 weeks. She had a PET and CT scan after her chemo was completed and they were both clear. She’s feeling great and her CA125 has been at 9

Update on my father. Triplet therapy?
After my last post, my father underwent spinal cord decompression surgery - they did laminectomy and partial corpectomy of the fractured vertebrae and did pedicular screw fixation to stabilize the spine. It's been 2 weeks since surgery and he is prescribed bed rest for 4-6 weeks. After 1-2 more weeks

Chemo (Docetaxel) with Prednisone
Hi all, Zytiga stopped working for me and I am castrate-resistant. After a failed clinical trial (immunotherapy) I started Docetaxel 2 weeks ago and was prescribed Prednisone (5mg twice per day). I seem to be very sensitive to the Prednisone....having trouble sleeping, feeling anxious, etc. even when

Order of Pluvicto (Lu-177) vs. cabazitaxel/carboplatin chemo?
If there weren’t a supply chain shortage of Pluvicto my question is: Is there any scientific evidence for which order the treatments should be done? Did the Vision trial suggest anything? Thanks everyone.

visiting with a sore throat
Hi My mum’s treatment has been tricky so she is in hospital and had one round of chemo (carboplatin on 2ndJan). I had planned to visit her this week, tomorrow (9th) but today I’ve woken with a very sore throat. Do you think it’s best to stay away given where she is in the 21 day cycle.I’ve heard she

post chemo radiation initial scan
Hello everyone  , had my post treatment scan done on the 30th dec and yesterday was the review meeting with oncologist… they said that this scan was a very early one ( only 3 weeks  post treatment ) but they needed it because of the potential for immunotherapy that needs to be started within 43 days

Quality of Life: What are your favorite "vices".
I think we all look for some normalcy in our journey. I'm searching for a vice compatible with cancer care....maybe it's the bad boy in me. I'm on a pain patch so alcohol is out. I'd be crazy to smoke (tobacco) given my cardiac profile. Sex is, well complicated--depending on current treatments. Gambling
