nose rec onstruction
I recently had a successful procedure to remove an SCC from the right side of my nose. This meant that I also had about 50% of the right side also removed. I am waiting for 9 sessions of radiotherapy and when that is over and my skin has settled I then have to make a decision on future treatment: 1

ART NIH Predicting the Outcome of Salvage Radiation Therapy for Recurrent Prostate Cancer After Radical Prostatectomy
Summary: Patients in this audience have had both radical prostatectomies (RP) and salvage radiation treatment (sRT) and want to know their chances of having recurrent prostate cancer. This study developed a predictive model called a nomogram that predicts the 6-year progression-free probability (PFP

A bit frightened
I went to AnE Friday through the night because I had blood after bowel movement and the pain in my poor bottom was really bad. The doctor was so lovely and I feel reassured after she examined me. Even internallinternally, in the same ways that the doctors/oncologists used to do at every cancer check

Whole pelvic radiation after testicular cancer?
My husband is 63, dx Oct/2022 with PSA of ~11 and all twelve cores positive with GL 8 and mostly 9’s (4+5). He had SVI, PNI, and probable ECE, but PSMA PET showed no spread. He’s being treated at UCHealth/Denver CO at their urologic cancer center. His treatment consisted of 39 radiation sessions +

Bit of a Laugh for Today
Firstly let me tell those who don't already know, that Radiographers are NOT permitted to talk to you about anything they may or may not see on a Scan. They are qualified to take Pictures, nothing else. The Images are sent to the Consultant Radiologist who reports on the Scans to your Consultant. One

Radio sensitizers and Microbiome
I'm about to start a slightly novel radiotherapy - we will add in distant retroperitoneal nodes. 28 treatments = 70gy. I have a two part question: 1. Has anyone an opinion or experience with using supplements as radiosensitizers. Google "radiosensitizers and prostate cancer - NIH". Lots of studies

Has anyone developed Lichen Sclerosus after pelvic radiotherapy?
I was recently diagnosed with Lichen Sclerosus in the genital area. I had chemoradiotherapy 14 years ago for SCC rectum. The cause of LS is not known though trauma to the skin is thought to be one contributory factor. I am extremely worried about this recent development as LS is associated with the development

Interruption to radiation due to other health issue; will it impact efficacy?
Has anyone here had an interruption to their radiation from another health event? Did you just pick back up on the radiation treatment as planned or did you break for a while and start all over again? My dad was on day 9 of 20 rounds of radiation and he had a heart attack and needed a stent. He had

Hi Everyone, I'm new to this but so glad I found it. Thought I'd introduce myself....no point in holding back!
Hi, This October 2023, will mark the 25th 'Anniversary' of when, at the age of 26, I was wheeled into Theatre for an Operation that lasted 7hrs. I had 8 months previously been told that there was nothing wrong with me when I kept going & phoning the Doctors as my Period (as I thought it was) came

SGLT-2 Inhibitors to (partially) “Starve” Glucose Dependent Cancers
There has been many theories proposed about how to “starve cancer”. And many have gone down rabbit holes chasing unproven theories about how to do so. Unfortunately, IMO, they simply do not work. Cancers are very metabolically flexible. They will take what they need to survive and grow and adapt to whatever
