Sharing a recording of a Lung Cancer conference for patients
Hi everyone At the end of October, one of the leading cancer centres in the US held an online conference for cancer patients and carers. It was recorded and you can watch the sessions now. Its a brilliant opportunity to hear lots of specialist doctors talking about treatment options and new research

This project aims to give patients and their loved ones accurate and easy-to-understand resources to understand

RLS and the Neupro patch
I have had RLS ever since I can remember, but it was once moderate and controllable.Last year I received 8 1/2 weeks of radiation therapy for prostate cancer. Hopefully the cancer is under control but it was during that treatment time that I began with severe RLS. Despite numerous trials of medications

how long after Chemo finishes do we expect to get scans to see if treatment has worked? Also timescale after chemo will he get radiotherapy
hi all, my husband is currently on round 5 doctaxel and is wondering how long after his last round will it be before he gets scans? We have no indications of treatment working as his PC is non secretive PSA. His PSA was 3 when he was diagnosed with advanced PC and they said it will go down from there

Ultra-sensitive PSA Following Prostatectomy Reliably Identifies Patients Requiring Post-Op Radiotherapy
uPSA Ultra-sensitive PSA Following Prostatectomy Reliably Identifies Patients Requiring Post-Op Radiotherapy Using first postoperative PSA cutoff ≥0.2 ng/mL has only 46% sensitivity to detect failures. If the relapse cutoff is lowered to first postoperative uPSA ≥0.03, sensitivity substantially increased

How to prepare for the Radiation Therapy? Your advise/help are appreciated.
My husband will receive 20 session of radiation therapy which started on 11/3/22. He is drinking 64 oz water every day therefore he is very hydrated. He is doing everything by the “book”, but Today they weren’t able to administer the radiation because he was gassy (took 2 gas x tablet 1 hour before

Ups and downs of screening for a Phase 1 trial

Any input/advice please on radiotherapy post immunotherapy?
Hi all. I’m almost at four years now after being diagnosed with Stage 4 NSLC and spine mets in January 2019. Which is brilliant and every day I think how lucky I am! I started off with pemetrexed, carboplatin and pembrolizumab, then moved to maintenance pemetrexed and pembrolizumab, then pembrolizumab
