Laboratory test variance or ?
5 weeks ago I had asked my own physician for a 3 month post radiotherapy PSA and Testosterone done - the PSA was 0.01 and the Testosterone was 0.6nmol/L (17.3ng/dL) - which I felt happy with and seemed good. A week later I had a bad 12 week implant that bled and bruised badly and I could then feel

Testosterone & RLS
I was aware of mild RLS from about age 10 nearly 62 years ago. Occasionally, I could control it by autosuggestion. Dramatically, this RLS stopped when I had reached puberty, 3 years later. It emerged 62 years later, immediately radiotherapy and hormone therapy for prostrate cancer commenced in 2012

Study: Addition of Short-term ADT Fails to Improve Survival over Radiotherapy Alone for Intermediate-Risk PCa
This is a very interesting large-scale study but it is only one study. Here's the Scoop: "The addition of short-term androgen deprivation (STAD) to dose-escalated radiotherapy did not improve overall survival (OS) for patients with intermediate-risk prostate cancer, although the regimen did produce

Enzalutamide plus leuprolide reduces risk of metastasis in nonmetastatic HSPC men-from Urology Times, 29 Apr 2023

HER2 and ER positive breast cancer
I tripped over in the garden and fractured 2 ribs; while in hospital scans showed lesions; was referred to breast clinic and the cancer was found. I was originally scheduled for a lumpectomy but they found the HER2 & ER positive, so now chemo and targeted therapy followed by surgery and radiotherapy.

ART Effect Of Adjuvant And Salvage Radiotherapy After Radical Prostatectomy On Urinary Continence
Well, I am 'continent' according to the criteria in this study (a bit old, but not ancient)...of course continence here is defined as "[i]no pads or one safety pad.[/i]" OK. Now, I went into sRT with a safety pad and was warned by my RO that this had a chance of being 'locked in.' I proceeded anyway

How to find a master of the cyberknife?

immunotherapies and DCVax-L
Hi all - my husband was given confirmed biopsy results (after a debulking operation) last week of grade 4 GBM. His treatment plan is 6 weeks of radiotherapy with chemotherapy, then 4 weeks rest, then 6 months of chemo. I'm interested in people's experiences of immunotherapies, particularly DCVax-L -

Treatment options
Hi all. I have very recently been diagnosed with a Stage One lump. I saw my Surgeon two days ago and was given to options. (1) Lobectomy (2) Radiotherapy. I do have some thoughts of my own, but I would appreciate any advice before I make my decision.
