RILP?
Anybody familiar with this complication of radiation therapy? I've been fighting with my left leg for the past 4 months with increasing loss of function. It started as a nightime drawing of my left leg across my body and has now progressed to paralysis of the quad muscles and I am now having to use

Radiotherapy for OPD-Oligoprogressive disease
Hi to all, I wish you all a happy new year!Had my last PET and sadly I have one oligoprogressing lesion. Last May 2022 I had 2 or 3 hypermetabolic tumors (SUV 3,7-4,5 and 1,9 - September 2022 SUV 2,9-5 and 1,9). These weren't new tumors but they had kind of disapeared for 2 years. I had been NEAD

Genetic osteoarthritis especially in my knees, was using magnesium spray, but since on Radiotherapy PC sessions, wet weather, suggestions?
Have had genetic osteoarthritis in my knees for decades, my Uncle and Brother have both had knee replacements, but have been advised by friends [and brother] find alternative relief solutions! Maybe it is because of PC radiotherapy treatment or wet weather ALWAYS worst time of the year, but particularly

Pomi-T vs Pom Juice
I take 1 cup of Pom Juice most days based on the study attached. Doesn't taste great but I mix it with 1/2 c of Beet Juice. All organic. I have seen some talk about using the supplement Pomi-t. When I read the studies, too my non-scientific brain, it certainly looks like Pom Juice is the better of the

High risk treatment - go conventional or experimental?
Hello Folks, Lots of great posts and discussions on this site. I thought I'd come aboard and get some feedback. 58 yrs old great health except for Gleason 4+4 = 8, in 3/6 biopsy cores (one side of prostate). Not sure why they only took 6 cores. PSA 24.1 back in November. Did a bone scan and a question

PSA Rising
It has been about 2 years since beam radiation therapy. My PSA had very slowly declined to about 1.8 two months ago. 3 months before that it was 2.1. I just had a PSA test done in preparation for a phone call with my old radiation oncologist as I moved out of state to Philadelphia. When I took my PSA

Hello everyone .
Hi all , hope you all managed a reasonable Christmas despite various treatments etc ongoing … I’m interested to hear from anyone who had chemo / radiation treatment for lung cancer stage 3 and didn’t follow up with immunotherapy either because it wasn’t an option or because they chose not to or other

Can I ask what to expect during the initial hormone therapy + five to eight weeks of radiation?
Hi All, My father has just completed two weeks of radiation and I thought he was handling it very well but today seemed to be a really bad day. It has me a bit shaken up as it seemed to have come out of no where. Wondering if these symptoms are normal and how much worse we can expect this to get. Along

Happy Holidays - And staying positive
My father is 87. He has had advanced prostate cancer for 15 years. He did many treatments and then stopped because the cancer spread anyways. Now, he's doing a new treatment and is VERY positive that it will slow the spread. He is going to Florida with my mom for 3 months (he'll fly back to do

Immunotherapy
hi everyone I’ve been advised that I can start immunotherapy within 41 days of my 6 week chemo / radiation treatment ending which means mid January … I’m very apprehensive about immunotherapy as I’ve only heard mainly bad stories I guess ….. can anyone offer any positivity about it at all ? Re side effects
