Wheelchair user and ADT
ADTI have Gleason 9 which is organ confined and a PSMA showing no spread. Has anyone had radiotherapy but then also managed ADT but as a disabled person and wheelchair user with a lifetime of low muscle strength from polio or similar?The recurring theme is that without ADT the risk of recurrence is very

Anyone prescribe Metformin for prostate cancer not for diabetes?
Hi, thank you for letting my husband and I join in… As I am trying to find information on how to deal with my husband’s sever plaque psoriasis, awful psoriasis flares after docetaxel chemotherapy infusion treatments and high glucose levels/numbers that seem to coincide with these extreme psoriasis flares

second time
hi I was told after having mammogram in May this year I had a lump in my breast. After tests found that it was a well contained cancer and hadn’t spread to my lymph nodes. So felt ok, lucky really not too bad. Lump was removed and two nodes. This was followed by a weeks radiotherapy and now 5 years

Attention Travelers on Pluvicto!
I was administered my first dose of Pluvicto on August 30. On September 15, I drove back from a trip to Thunder Bay, ON, Canada into Minnesota. At the Pigeon River border crossing, I was flagged due to tripping the radiation detector while I was in the car! After being asked what I did and bought

ER+ HER2- MBC treatments
Hi, Hope you're enjoying your day. I was just wondering about diffrents treatements I've read about here. I'm puzzled. I was diagnosed de novo in May 2020 with extensive bone mets. I was put on Ibrance and Anastrozole, was NED in January 2021 and had primary breast tumor removed in March 2021.

Radiotherapy on lymph node/posting problems
I am to have radiotherapy on a lymph node near my armpit. There is still low activity in some other lymph nodes but my oncologist would rather watch and wait before giving me more chemo but the one under my arm has got bigger hence my treatment. I wondered if anyone else had had this and was it successful

Advice after diagnosis due to Chemo
Hi I have just finished 8 cycles of chemo and 15 rounds of radiotherapy for breast cancer and all is good. However my recent heart scan compared to the one I had before treatment and one half way through shows that my heart has dropped a little. I have to take ramicon daily and go for another scan

Long-Term ADT With Radiation
https://www.medpagetoday.com/meetingcoverage/esmo/100690 Basically finds that 6 months of ADT (with radiation) doesn't show superiority to radiation alone, while 24 months of ADT (with radiation) does usually show superiority to no ADT and 6 months of ADT. It leaves unanswered any questions about 12

Thyroid cancer after radiation therapy
I was born with a large cavernous hemangioma on my face. One of the treatment methods was radiation therapy. Recently an ultrasound scan showed that I have a thyroid tumor. I was not particularly nervous about it, I signed up for a biopsy and waited calmly for the results. But now I found out that

PSA Expectations after SRT with Concurrent ADT
Greetings! I just wrapped up 7 weeks of salvage radiation therapy on 26 August that was done with concurrent androgen deprivation therapy, and I'm about to go for my first post-treatment PSA test. (We agreed the ADT would be a one-time, 6-month dose to assist with the SRT.) I'm just not sure where

Finally got to see the Chemotherapy Consultant. She was very nice, very patient and explained everything thoroughly, not just about the chemotherapy but the state of my cancer too. I learned quite a bit about myself and my cancer and many questions were answered. End result is that I start palliative
