Does this sound like Lymphoedema?
Hi 👋 I'm worried that I'm getting lymphoedema.... I was treated for triple negative breast cancer in 2019 and had a horrible time with chemo, a lumpectomy with SLNB, a second op to clear the rest of the lymph nodes, and finished with 4 weeks of radiotherapy ending in Jan '20. After the clearance op

ADT and bone loss lost opportunity !?
there is /was so much to think about when I got the Gleason 9 diagnosis after 18 months of being told don’t worry it not high risk and so had failed HIFU. Stupid of me ! I got, with great difficulty a DEXA scan one month after starting LHRH agonist goserelin. No one told me I needed it, and given

Treatment Recommendation for father with advanced PCA to regional lymph nodes
Hi All, I was hoping for some feedback on the treatment schedule advised for my father. All the details for his diagnosis are in my bio. We met with the radio oncologist last week and he suggested the following 1. Start cosudex tablets now for 28 days and then stop 2. Start Zoladex injection within

Surviving cancer: some options for you to consider
I just want to share with you all, that I was diagnosed with a T3 (5cm) Tumour called Adenocarcinoma, situated in the junction of the lower oesophagus and upper G. I (stomach) in January. Last year I kept complaining of : chest pains, sore tongue and throat, thick mucus and not being able to gain weight

Another cause of Pernicious Anaemia?
We know that certain gastric operations cause Pernicious Anaemia and therefore lifelong b12 injections are required . But what I’ve never seen mentioned is the possibility of radiotherapy cancer treatment in the region of the stomach that contains the parietal cells , causing Pernicious Anaemia . Surely

Update recent PSMA
Docs did it to me again with the usual bad news. Uptake in new lymph node locations in pelvis. the radiotherapy failed, and preclude more treatment on new nodal areas. (according to Docs.) So expect to add to ADT, abi or enza or darolutamide in a short while, with PSA going up on a fast double.

Treatment options
I am 47 years old diagnosed with PC last month with Gleason score 9(5,4) and was advised ADT treatment with Bicalutamide and followed by Lupron 30 mg after two weeks. PSA was 77 in Jan and dropped to 23 after starting ADT treatment and already feeling better with much less urinary symptoms. I was advised

What is done in this case ? ADT not working
In may of 2011 the PSA and Biopsy showed that I had an agressive cancer with Gleason 8 so my prostate was extracted and after this I received radiotherapy. Since during the following 9 years my psa continued very low, I suspended checking it and last september I received the surprise that it had increased

If PSA is Suppressed by Doublet ADT, Will Salvage IMRT Cause a PSA Rise?
Hello everyone, My husband is nearing completion of his extended pelvic salvage IMRT with boost to retrocaval lymph nodes. His radiation oncologist said it may take several months before the psa calms down, so he would like to see him in July. My question is that, since he is already undetectable due

10-year update still shows no benefit to ART vs early SRT
ART
= adjuvant radiation therapy, within 6 months after radical prostatectomy (RP)
early SRT
= salvage radiation therapy, after PSA ≥ 0.1ng/ml or 3 consecutive rises. Median was 0.2 ng/ml. Median 1 ½ years after RP. Patients risked nothing by waiting, and gained urinary and fecal continence

Explain my PSMA PET SCAN Please..
PSMA PET/CT from the skull base to midthigh demonstrates: 1. Worsening of skeletal metastases. 2. Multiple sclerotic lesions without activity represent treated metastatic disease. 3. Status post orchiectomy. 4. No abnormal uptake of tracer within the prostatic bed. EXAM: PET CT PSMA CLINICAL

Pancreas problems after RT for prostate

I have also had M.E. and fibromyalgia for over 25 years and, as part of that, IBS. Since starting the hormone therapy and radiotherapy I became more and more

After ADT
Adrenal insufficiency after stopping ADT & steroids. My 72 year old husband had radical, robotic surgery 7 years ago. PSAs were 0 until 2 years ago, then barely detectable.
