Bladder issues
I just wondered if anyone would mind sharing what treatment they have received if any for gross haematuria. I’ve had a cystoscopy and seen the damaged blood vessels and was told by the urologist they was no effective treatment available but that I am at an increased risk of a secondary cancer from the

biopsy - fragmented cores and progression risk
I had 3 biopsies from January 2020 to July 2022. The first two almost identical being Gleason 3+4 with <10% 4. However 6 months post HIFU it was Gleason 9 with 4+5 with 10% 5 and 70% 5 (see below). I am curious as the cores are fragmented and so it’s hard to know what this means and if it makes any

Radiotherapy for OC in lymph nodes
Hello ladies. I wonder if those on here in England, who have had radiotherapy, could please tell me which hospital trust you had the treatment under. My oncologist still says they don't use radiotherapy, though I know many of you have had it. I'm on my fourth recurrence and currently on weekly taxol

Radiotherapy for lung cancer
After an oncologist appointment I was left deflated. I did know the risk of extra damage to the lung and possibly needing oxygen. She was talking like she didn't want me to try. At the moment they said I have 18 months to 2 years left and the Radiotherapy would give me an extra year . All of this is

Please send me some positivity.
I have just had the results of my CT scan and I have been told I have a recurrance in one para-aortic lymph node. I will either need surgery (if they can), chemo or radiotherapy. I'm so scared as this is my first recurrence from Stage 4 ovarian cancer and I'm only 56 and have two teenagers. I can't

weaning off Fentanyl patches
I am on 25mcg Fentanyl patches for pain caused by a compression fracture on my T10 vertebrae due to radiation treatment for metastatic prostate cancer. I have been on painkillers for about 12 months now, beginning with morphine etc which caused intense constipation. I began about 9 months ago on 12 mcg

Dexamethasone
My cousin has a brain tumour and is receiving radiotherapy. In addition, she has been prescribed 2mg daily dexamethasone steroids. I'm wondering what is the difference between this drug and prednisolone?

Back in permanent AF and warfarin dose decrease
Hi All, I used to have paroxysmal AF which was ablated by Prof Schilling back in 2010. I had been in NSR. However I was diagnosed with prostate cancer back in the summer. I had huge delays and postponements before I had a biopsy. I eventually got the results 5 weeks later (rather than the two weeks promised

Any Data or MO Advice Regarding Dutasteride / Finasteride At Very Early Biochemical Recurrence?
Does anyone know of any studies or MO advice they've gotten regarding use of Dutasteride or Finasteride at very early signs of Biochemical Reccurrence (uPSA in the 0.03 - 0.1 range) prior to Salvage Radiotherapy? It's obviously going to slow PSA doubling time and thereby probably lengthen the time
