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

Advanced recurrent PCa, rising PSA, 2 negative PSMA PET Scans

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

Confused, shocked, unsure
My Aunt was diagnosed in May 2022 with Stage 4 Glioblastoma. 2 tumors were present. She had a biopsy taken where they discovered another tumor was present within a matter of 2 weeks. Following this she was was told there was no surgery options available as they are too deep. Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy

Risk of second primary cancer after primary radiotherapy for PC
Personally, I wouldn't make TOO much of this (the increase in incidence isn't huge), but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be considered. Also, a prospective study would likely be more meaningful. Note that the lead author is a RO. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2794737

Small cell lung cancer with liver mets and malignant pleural effusion
My husband was diagnosed with SCLC in January. It was in one lung and three lymph nodes. Last Friday we went to our small A&E department as he had sharp pain in his ribs. They took an X-ray and referred him straight to hospital where they did CT scans and drained 800ml of fluid. He was discharged from

New primary Breast Cancer! Grade three lobular triple negative! Unrelated to my MBC. Time frame for surgery?
I was diagnosed with de novo MBC in November 2018 and no lump was found. So started on Ibrance and Letrozole as my first line of treatment. I recently felt a large lump in my breast appear almost overnight and mentioned it at my oncology appointment a few weeks later. I was then booked in for a biopsy

Advice on radiation treatment?
Hi, my husband (57) and I are new here. My husband was diagnosed with Stage 4b many mets to lymph system in pelvis, abdomen and the subclavicular lymph nodes in March. He’s on Lupron, was on Zytiga until his liver enzymes went way up (ALT 559 and AST 230) and will get radiation soon. The RO said
