Now for something completely different
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

Temozolomide Side Effects
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

Chemorads/Brachytherapy late side effects

I wonder if anyone knows why or has experienced a rise on PSA level (from 70 to 274), 6 months after radiation therapy (VMAT x 26 sessions)?
Before and after radiation therapy, dad was taking Bicalutamide 50 mg and Alfuzosin50 mg together with a quarterly Leuprorelin injection. This month (October), after receiving his Leuprorelin injection, Urologist advised to stop taking Bicalutamide as it is no longer effective due to hormone resistance

Meridian Viewray is toast. Can Cyberkife machines use MRI the same way?
Just was unenrolled in a Phase I clinical trial using the Meridian Viewray machine at Dana Farber. Meridian went belly-up in the summer, and the hospital (Brigham and Women’s in Boston) will cease using that machine in October 25th. Looking for substitutes. Thinking that Cyberknife machines can also

cough after breast radiation
I finished radiotherapy for breast cancer 4 weeks ago and have now developed a dry cough with clear phlegm coming from upper respiratory tract. Does anyone know if this could be related to the radiation ?
