acoustic neuroma 1.9cm
I have been diagnosed with an acoustic neuroma that was 1.9cm in February but didn’t receive my results until June. I have seen a neurosurgeon at royal london hospital who has advised me that i will require active treatment due to my age. Either radiotherapy or surgery. Really scared of the surgery

Should I ask for a new assessment - third edition - the results are good and bad
I saw my oncologist today after having a new scan with contrast. The good news is that my NSCLC hasn't visibly grown in comparison to the xray on June 1st and is around 1" diameter. I am feeling very well at the moment, fit and active, and putting on weight. The cancer is still in my left upper lobe

Recurrent DCIS
Hi all I had a lumpectomy and radiotherapy about eight years ago to deal with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) it has now recurred, what an absolute pain. I’ve had a mammogram and ultrasound and the radiologist thinks I will need surgery. I won’t know for sure until next Wednesday. But in my experience

Shocking life expectancy
My wonderful husband (41) was diagnosed in February 22 with stage 3 in lung and lymph nodes. He's had chemo x 2 and immunotherapy then reduced to chemo x1 and immunotherapy as responded well. Last week, he found a new lump in his neck which after scans shows it has spread again. The disease in lung

Flomax dosage 2x a day?
Anyone out there taking Flomax twice a day and if so, are you taking two doses at one time or spacing them out? If you are taking two was this on advice or consult with your doctor? My PA is suggesting I take 2 doses as I am getting up 8-9 times at night, of course the radiation therapy is probably

Treatment options for local PC that is resistant to radiation
I received radiation treatment to my pelvic area this past spring for castrate-resistant lesions in my prostate and two lymph nodes. A month after completing radiation, my PSA dropped from .22 to .09, but a CT scan showed only a small decrease in size of the lesions. Six weeks later, my PSA increased

Docetaxel didn't work, what's next?
Hi there! My father (65M from Toronto) was diagnosed almost three years ago with prostate cancer and we're really starting to lose hope. This community seems so informed and caring, I'd appreciate any thoughts that you may have about my dad's diagnosis :) In 2019, his PSA rose to 10.4 and then to

ongoing cystitis
I had radiotherapy in 1999 for cancer in the vagina. . For the past 8 years I have suffered from UTIs/ cystitis. Initially I controlled it through cranberry Ju ice, yogurt, cystopurin, barley water and drinking gallons! Over past 4 years I have had to resort to antibiotics: initially a week’s course

Any hope?
In 2018 I started Zytiga and Lupron. Zytiga stopped working after three years. In December of 2021 I started Taxotere. It didn’t help. I had 25 treatments of radiation treatment for my pelvis area. Treatment stopped on 7/18/22. Now I’m dealing with the side effects. Anything else after the treatments

Seems a long time
My husband was diagnosed with Right upper lobe T3 N0 M0 non-small cell lung cancer in June 2021. Because he also has COPD they said they couldn’t operate so he was given 20 sessions of radiotherapy in October 2021. Since then he hasn’t seen his oncologist at all, just a phone call every 12 weeks. He
