Nsclc stage 4 with brain mets
My dad 75 year old was diagnosed in November with stage 4 NSCLC. He started chemo and radiotherapy in Jan and was told although not curative they could help manage and prolong his life. We felt positive as it was two singular tumours, although fairly large, there was just one in the lung and one in the

PSA staying down--would any kind of scan be helpful?
Hello: For starters----my PSA went down to .01---July 2022,. Oct 2022 it was less than <.01 and January 2023 it again is <.01. My last Nuclear bone scan was May 2022 and the bone mets were still pretty bright on my scan. I do not have bone pain, and I feel good, most days. I started on Xtandi in

BEST PORT LOCATION FOR CHEMO?
I may be starting Chemo in a couple of weeks? Meeting with MO after latest PSMA PET Scan, showing probable Apalutamide/Lupron failure. After a 3 month rise from 0.1 to 0.6, he ordered a scan & hinted at Chemo next. Found resolution of old mets. but some new ones. At any rate, although I am 74, I

Update
Hi ladies l hope you are all as well as you can be. I said back in July l would give you a update after finishing 6th recurrence. Thankfully the chemo has done it's job once more apart from a bit of spread in the peritoneal cavity generally things are good and ca125 has gone down to 16. Unfortunately

Looks like lutetium is next for me (if I can get it)
Finished 6 cycles of chemo with Carboplatin added. Scans show mixed results. mipsma 2. Dr. Kwon is suggesting lutetium to push the cancer off the edge of the cliff. He’s suggesting to have it sooner rather than later. I have low tumor load. And Mets to Lymph nodes in pelvic region and subclavical. My

QOL vs EOL Treatments.
I saw this short interview the other day and found it quite interesting. This guy is an oncologist who claims he won’t try to prolong his life with treatments like chemo. As he approaches that age he might have a change of heart. https://youtu.be/TgrO4rrrFgQ Obviously he’s trying to balance the quality

Anyway, having been diagnosed with NSCL cancer I've now been put on a treatment plan, and start on Monday next week. Has anyone got any top tips for getting through the next few months? It all sounds

1st Bone Marrow Biopsy
Hi all. I just had my first bone marrow biopsy yesterday. I have been dealing with MBL / CLL over the last decade and my count is around 50. I do not really have any symptoms except swollen lymph nodes in the neck and groin. I am 52 years old, quite fit (exercise hard 5 times a week) and work full time

Xofigo or Chemo?
Chemotherapy
. Tough choice but the Zytiga is not working. Meanwhile he accepted my suggestion to try the SLASH /Lu177 clinical trial as long as it doesn't have a late start. Of course I need to get accepted... ...if not, any pros /cons if going Xofigo vs Chemo ??

antibiotics while on chemo?
Hello, ladies. I am on cisplatin and Gemcitabine (Gemzar) and have developed an infection near an ancient root canal that I believe has finally failed. Has anyone safely taken a basic antibiotic such as amoxicillin while on this chemo combo? I have emailed my oncologist, but it’s just 6:00 am here,

Chemo for recurrence easier?
I'll be having carbo/taxol chemo for my first recurrence, which is the same chemo I had initially. I was wondering if those of you who have been through it found the second go-round easier, harder, or different from the first.Thanks for sharing your experience. It really helps.
