Lymph Node Irradiation for a Potential Cure
I have read that some men have been cured from earlier posts that I have read. Currently I have been on abiraterone and Lupron for 21 months. I only had one docetaxel, before catching pneumonia, so chemo was halted by my oncologist, stating the chemo would kill me before the cancer. The one chemo

Stuck at 4.5mg
Have been on 4.5 mg since last November. Saw hip surgeon in January who told me to stay on 4.5mg rather than risk a flare before my surgery for hip replacement which took place in March. After my op I was in a lot of pain (from the surgery) with a prolonged recovery so even though my GP told me to try

CA125 level 89
I’ve just had bloods back and have raised levels of ca125. Last time I had this test about 18 months ago it was 53. It is now 89. Large mass on my right ovary, previously told it was fibroids. Could it be an enlarged fibroid? I have stage 4 endometriosis too and have had laparoscopy 3 years ago. Maybe

Blood test
I know from this community how important it is to test first thing in the morning but my doctors' surgery is very stretched and my blood test appointment can't be changed from late morning. I'm not sure I can last without any food until 30 minutes after the appointment. How bad is it to eat something

Dad diagnosed with GBM grade 4
Hi, my dad was diagnosed with a glioblastoma about 4 weeks ago. He has gone from being a fairly healthy 58 year old man who travels around the UK and holidays a few times a year abroad to a man who sits on the sofa refusing to go out or do anything. He has got a healthy appetite but is eating way too

Surprising TRT research results in PCa patients
I’ve been researching the implications of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) as it relates to the odds of biochemical recurrence with prostate cancer.

Remission
Back in November I noticed a swelling under my arm. My doctor set me up with ultrasounds and found it was swollen lymph nodes. After the surgery in December to remove the largest one, I was told I had SLL. My world turned upside down. I had a PET scan in January and I lit up like a Christmas tree. The
