Had anyone is dealing or have dealt with lymphomedema in your scrotum
The scrotum had been swelled for a few weeks, I noticed after the last chemo was canceled due to not working. Did anyone get medication that helped to stop or reduce the swelling ? I did find underwear that has a pouch that does help but still a pain in the butt. Any suggestions will be appreciated and

New treatment after being dropped from Pluvicto.
I was dropped from LU177 treatment in late January and started my first round of Docetaxel/Carboplatin on 01/30. Lab results on 02/17 showed my platelet count to be very low so was denied the second round of chemo. We did see a significant drop in PSA from 758 to 611 on that lab. My next lab 03/17 showed

PSA after 4-5 months on Lupron (Scholz)?
Just watched a Scholz (PCRI) video posted last week about PSA. He said multiple times that PSA should reach a nadir of <0.1 after 4-5 months on 1st generation ADT and that if it didn't "[i]something's wrong, that is an unusual type of prostate cancer that has some hormone resistance and studies over

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

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
