Has anyone experienced severe stomach cramps while taking Faslodex injections?
I recently started Faslodex treatment, about 5 days later these horrible pains started in my upper abdomen. I just wondered if this is due to injections or my Y 90 radiation treatment I had on May 26. Has anyone had these treatments together ? I would love any suggestions. Please share your advise or

Small PSA rise after radiation: should I worry?
I finished five sessions of stereotactic radiotherapy of two pelvic lymph nodes on May 12, 2021. The first blood test a couple of weeks later showed a PSA rise to 20 from 16. Doctors said this was probably "flare". Then more than two months later, on July 14, PSA had risen just two points -- to 22

When I was officially diagnosed in sept 2019 with breast cancer ER negative HER2 positive and positive nodes. I had 4 months neojuvent chemo then due to lockdown had left breast and lymph nodes removed. This followed by a further 10 months of chemo and 20 sessions of radiotherapy. I know they removed

Is Bicalutamide the right treatment and when is a PET Scan required
I am a 64-year-old retired Army man living at Delhi in India diagnosed purely by chance…was taking meds for Rheumatoid Arthritis and the doc suggested getting an ultra sound to see if my liver was okay. It was but also showed a mildly enlarged prostate, so got a PSA test for the first time

D-dimer & Dangerous Blood Clots
I have posted quite a lot about the importance of D-dimer in the past 5+ years, but the recent post from 5_plus_4, "
I almost died Tuesday
" had me thinking that perhaps some basic information on coagulation issues needs to be reposted periodically, particularly for new members. No-one should die

Doctors and tinnitus
Sometimes doctors get a bit of a bad press on this forum, saying there’s no cure and their patients, suffering as we do, find this dismissive and unhelpful.

Blood test finds 50 types of cancer is accurate enough to be rolled out
For anyone who has been treated with radiation therapy, this could be handy to keep an eye on potential secondary cancers. A simple blood test that can detect more than 50 types of cancer before any clinical signs or symptoms of the disease emerge in a person is accurate enough to be rolled out

Flomax Issue!
I was treated for aggressive Prostate Cancer in 2012 with ADT followed by two months of Radiation Treatment. (Gleas 9 and PSA 6) My recent PSA Test Result was 0.15. (6/21)I have been most fortunate to this point. A constant problem I have is Extreme Dry Mouth. I know Flomax can be a cause of this condition

Can radiation cause kidney pain?
Started getting a sharp pain in my kidney and/or lower back a few hours after my radiation therapy today. Don't know if it is related to the therapy or not and I didn't find anything about this online but since we have pros here, I figured I'd ask the question here.

Other active modules were found after pet scan. Have been offered radiotherapy instead of surgery as near blood vessels behind my right kidney. After speaking with me by phone stated I would need to attend hosp daily for five weeks to receive treatment which only takes a few min. I have been informed

6 Months Post Treatment Report
8 months post treatment at present. Had six month review with RO. Decided on SBRT due to surgical, erectile and urinary issues with RP. Prior abdominal surgery means DiVinci machine could not be used, and few doctors do a lot of open procedures. Used SBRT on a MRL machine (MRI guided radiation treatment

Bone scans can lie!
I had 3 bone scans in the last 18-months, the last one in May 2021, all negative. Then I had a PSMA scan on 2nd June, due to my rising PSMA, which went from < 0.1 when I stopped ADT to 3.2. It showed - "Bones: There are three or less osseous metastases (Oligo). -1.3 x 0.8 cm lesion with central lucency
