Chiropractor or not
After falling out of bed about three months ago, I have been left with a whiplash sort of injury in my right shoulder. I visited a chiropractor who indicated that my whole back and right shoulder is very stiff and would benefit with some treatment. Four years ago I had breast cancer on right breast

LDR brachytherapy at MSK: Day after treatment
Hi all, I posted here about three weeks ago that I'd decided on LDR brachy -- radioactive seed implants -- as monotherapy, having decided between that and HDR brachy and SBRT. They were the three options that my RO at Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK) had said had very good and equal outcomes as monotherapy

Radiation side effects 25 sessions vs. 42
My next decision is what dosage I should choose. (I believe that a breakthrough cure is going to come within the next 5 years that will change the whole approach to treating PCa.

How long will I need ADT?
Had RP in Oct 2020 with recent reoccurrence. I started ADT 3 months ago which is planned for 12 to 18 months. Start 37 sessions of radiotherapy mid January. My psa last week was 0.01 down from 12 and rising before ADT. Wondering if ADT is not curative maybe this might be shorter??

Ideas for coping with self isolation please.
How did you cope with self isolation before surgery? I had my PCR test on 29 December to go in on 3 January for my debulking op on 4 January. It's day 3 and I am really struggling with not seeing anyone and it is exacerbating my anxiety about the op too. I just want a hug really but I live on my own.
