concern over chest infections after chemo, should I be worried?
Hi all, I am really concerned about my husband who has Stage 4, Gleason 9 PC. He had his last chemotherapy round at the beginning of December and will start radiotherapy beginning of February but I am really concerned about his chest. He has had 4 courses of antibiotics and a course of steroids, prednisolone

Enzalutamide just keeps giving and giving: Hot heels
As of the past couple of months I have had to sleep on my back. It is too uncomfortable to sleep on my side. The enzalutamide I am taking has made the muscles in my right arm rigid, so it is far too uncomfortable to sleep on that side despite taking the opioid Longtec (40 mg at night). Nor can I

Dutasteride (Advodart) as an Alternative to ADT in Salvage RT Setting?
I know this forum is mainly focused on post-salvage advanced stage but highly respect the knowledge and opinions of the members here. There's clear evidence in the early stages of recurrence that Dutasteride (Advodart) slows or even stops the progression based on PSA results epecially when started when

Update on my father. Triplet therapy?
After my last post, my father underwent spinal cord decompression surgery - they did laminectomy and partial corpectomy of the fractured vertebrae and did pedicular screw fixation to stabilize the spine. It's been 2 weeks since surgery and he is prescribed bed rest for 4-6 weeks. After 1-2 more weeks

Vaginal atrophy and dryness
Hi everyone, I've been prescribed Estriol which is a hormone for vaginal atrophy and dryness after pelvic radiotherapy 9 years ago. Does anyone have a suggestion for an alternative cream or pessary please as I don't want to use a hormonal solution especially after reading the side effects? Thank you

post chemo radiation initial scan
Hello everyone , had my post treatment scan done on the 30th dec and yesterday was the review meeting with oncologist… they said that this scan was a very early one ( only 3 weeks post treatment ) but they needed it because of the potential for immunotherapy that needs to be started within 43 days
