Tagrisso + Carboplatin and pemetrexed
Hi all, I'm pretty new to this. Had a thoracotomy in July to remove a 1.6cm(ish) tumour from my upper left lobe. Upon investigation my surgeon found unexpected lesions on the lower left lobe (that did not show up on the PET scan) and it seems that there are 'snowflakes' in my right lung too. Anyhow

Liver nodules
Hello. Just wanting to see if anyone's had similar. My brother has recently been diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer... they say its a genetic mutation from a certain gene which causes paraganglioma... my mum died from paraganglioma cancer when I was small. So I had a ct scan recently to check myself

Hello all, Due to some vomiting I was experiencing, seemingly out of nowhere, I had an upper endoscopy last week. Still no word from anyone on the results, but I read them on the portal. Apparently, I now have signet ring carcinoma in my stomach. From what I have read, this is completely unrelated

Do I need an MRI with Contrast or without?
Soon will get a Prostate MRI done and I am worried about possible side effects of the gadolinium based contrast agent (dye). Can I decline the dye and ask for a MRI without contrast? I don't have any prior cancer diagnosis, but my PSA is 10.9 and 12.15 (two readings, 5 days apart, different labs)

Considering orchiectomy due to chronic constipation from Orgovyx
I've been on Orgovyx for 33 months for metastatic prostate cancer. Constipation is a known issue with Orgovyx and it has affected me to some degree most of the 33 months. Earlier this year it seem to get more chronic and intractable. I'm also currently using a 37.5mg weekly E2 patch, up from 0.025 twice

Help with Results
I just updated my Bio and just received my PSMA Gallium scan results. Appointment is tomorrow to review but from what I see even with a low PSA of 0.052 a lymph node lit up which is rare. Is this correct and given this my guess SOC is whole pelvic adjuvant radiation and higher dose to lymph nodes or?

Concern about having more radiation to prostate after 43 external beam treatments 15 years ago
15 years ago my husband had 43 radiation treatments after PSA reached 50 & his 3rd biopsy showed 1 core to have cancer., Gleason was 3-3. He has had Lupron injections since then.

DIPNECH diagnosis.
DIPNECH - carcinoid lung nodules. Has anybody had this recognised as cancer by DWP when there is minimal cancel active, although present? I was told by an ILD consultant at Rbh that they don’t? Even though it requires regular Pet CT scans. Bella.

Meeting with our oncologist for castrate resistance metastatic prostate cancer
We met with my Dad's MO yesterday. (Diagnosed 10/22 with advanced metastatic cancer, became castrate resistant about a year ago.) He shared that the Xtandi is still blocking some cancer growth, but not all of it. His PSA is 2.8 (currently doubling every four weeks.) His PetScan shows some growth (

Lost my lovely Dad 48 hours ago....want to thank you all.
Dad had another spinal cord compression at C2. PSA at this point was 3700. Radiotherapy was out of the question; having had treatment there before. Came home from hospital, and we tried desperately to take him to Istanbul for Lu177. We even booked the tickets. Sadly, 24 hours later, he deteriorated
