IPP Inflatable Penile Implant after PCa Treatment; When to Move on Implant Surgery
Well, as with all things in life, hindsight is 20-20. So it is with my experience with my IPP (inflatable penile prosthesis) after 2 1/2 years of PCa treatment. I was operated on in June, 2020, had IMRT RT Radiation treatment ending May, 2021 and finished a total of 21 months on ADT this past December

Salvage Radiotherapy Info in UK
My PSA seems to be definitely on the move, latest is 0.11 up from 0.085 taken 3 months ago, full history is in my profile. I am sure SRT is now on the cards. There seems to be much to consider about dose (64-70Gy), target area (prostate bed with or without lymph nodes) and short term ADT, which is summarised

Post-Salvage Radiation GI side effects?
I'm seeking insights on what others may have experienced after salvage radiation therapy when it comes to their gastrointestinal functions. By way of background, I had a robotic prostatectomy in 2011 and it failed. Last summer I had 35 salvage radiation sessions to the prostate bed only, ending on 27

Just finished my PC radiotherapy sessions, last Wed. My 'diet' an absolute nightmare, after evening meal, toilet duty is top of the list!
Usually after the evening meal, no matter what I eat, my toilet rules the roost! I was treated for adenocarcinoma grade 7, after biopsy last June, 20 sessions. Told to keep off "fruit and veg" probably two weeks some sorts of normality return 'a bit', but everyone is different? [u]Any suggestions, banana

Looking for a good Urologist at UCLA or in Los Angeles Area
I am getting some bleeding in my urine. Three times now... always at the end of the stream. My primary care doc is telling I need to see a Urologist. It may or may not have anything to do with my prostate cancer. I think probably not, but then again everything does. Had IMRT radiation treatment

am I doing the right thing?
I have suspected lung cancer and am waiting for result of EBUS bronchoscopy. I’ve been monitored with CT Scans for the past 18 months. There are 2 suspect nodules that have recently grown. I was supposed to have my right upper lung lobe removed early December. I was kept waiting for approx 8 hours

Hello again.
After my first post yesterday here are a few brief details. Diagnosed in February 2021 with a PSA of 37and prescribed a 2 year course of Prostap by 3 monthly injections. this had the effect of immediately lowering PSA to negligible. This was very quickly followed by a course of Aberaterone {Zytiga

Hi, May The Force BE With You
Hi, I'm new here. I was successfully treated for a Astra-Cytomel brain tumor back in 1990 when I was 5. Though dead, the tumor is still in my head, rapped round my brainstem. Although I suffer from other side effects of the tumor and Radio Therapy, such as hearing loss and Epilepsy. Despite this, it

COPD and Radiation for Breast Cancer
I am trying to find information on the potential effects on my existing COPD if I have radiation therapy for breast cancer. I am being treated at a top cancer center in the US and they definitely promote lumpectomy plus radiation over mastectomy. I am almost 70 years old and a widow, and I really don't

Jevtana (Cabazitaxel) before Xofigo (Radium 223)
Hi I was speaking to an Oncology nurse last week who suggested that after Docetaxel, Oncolgists were inclined to prescribe Jevtana before Xofigo. This apparently is because it is less effective the other way round. I have to say my instinct was to try radiotherapy before going back to chemo. The Docetaxel
