Shingrix vaccine for immunosuppressed people aged 50+
I thought I would just post this from the gov.uk website because I have just a bit of struggle convincing our surgery that I was eligible, so maybe other people haven't been invited either. The full list is on chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk

Radiotherapy for prostate local and retroperitoneal nodes
ADT of lupron and abiraterone has been pretty tolerable so far, almost four months - maybe I got cocky. Started my SBRT 28 fraction 70 Gy radiotherapy four days ago, mild to moderate urinary urgency and some burn started almost immediately. Diarrhea started at night after day four, mild so far. How

Alternate prostate treatment
I saw a brief article in the current AARP magazine. Wondering if this is accurate: “In a recent study of 115 midlife and older men with low- to intermediate-risk prostate cancer who had their prostate gland completely treated via TULSA-Pro (ultrasound heat), 96 percent of participants saw their PSA

one more tumor marker question?
As some of you read my moms 15-3 marker went up from 163 to 332. She’s been on her new combo for 7 weeks. Everolimus and Faslodex . She finished a five day radiation treatment to the leg in her bone on Sept. 29th and then they did a tumor marker 20 days later and it had almost doubled . This is

Need advice.
Need advice. I had prostectomy in February of 2020, then radiation therapy a year later as PSA rose. Now PSA is 1.23 and the oncologist now is recommending beginning Lupron injections. Would welcome any thoughts or suggestions. Thanks.

Monday, when you probably will see this post. Crack of dawn. I will be on my way to University Hospital London for a Radical Prostatectomy on Weds. Yes, I've had to learn a new lexicon of terms and medical knowledge. Whilst for the last few months I have been an observer of comments and post rather

Well we went in today for his fourth pluvicto dose. Went mostly well but he’s been weak lately and had a few bumps in the road but that’s a story for another day. While I was waiting I met two other people who were getting treatments. One was getting his first pluvicto dose today. The second one

Update - friend with bronchogenic adenocarcinoma
Hello all, Thanks again for your replies to my original post as a newbie for a friend. She saw her rad/onc today and the PET results are encouraging! No cancer showed up outside the lungs. He recommends she see a thoracic surgeon for her 5 cm mass (golf-tennis ball size) to see if she is a candidate

"late toxicity" issues when dealing with radiation therapies.
SBRT seems like it has good results comparable to a Prostectomy, and better for side effects initially but I worry about the "late toxicity" issues when dealing with radiation therapies. From what I read, side effects can start appearing even years afterwards. Having a prostectomy, at least you get it

Introduction: Shaunjon, 47, I went through pelvic radiation in 2009. I have been through a lot, unnecessarily, unfortunately.
My profile kinda goes over the just of my situation. I've been through pelvic radiotherapy in 2009. Chemotherapy in 2014. I've learned a lot so feel free to ask anything. I have questions but nothing that important. In my situation, which would be considered pretty standard, I know without a doubt

My dad is on his 2nd cycle of TMZ (300mg)5 days on, 3 weeks off regime. He had GBM located on his left frontal lobe but due to size and depth could not be operated on. Therefore he had 3 weeks of radiotherapy along with 155mg daily TMZ. He has poor speech and his right arm is paralysed. However this
