PICC line tips?
Hi lovely people! I’m 5 weeks post mastectomy and sentinel node removal for DCIS and 2 invasive ductal cancer tumours; both hormone receptor positive, one HER2 positive and the other HER2 negative. I start chemo at the beginning of May. The surgeon said no radiotherapy but my oncologist has since said

NCCN guidelines for unfavorable intermediate risk
I thought I did my homework, but now I realize according to the NCCN guidelines, I could've chosen a different path. I have Gleason 7 (4+3) unfavorable intermediate risk PCa and I chose the HDR Brachytherapy (monotherapy) path. It looks like EBRT & HDR Brachytherapy is the SOC for unfavorable intermediate

Lupus and cancer
Oncologist was brilliant had done a lot of research into cancer with APS and Lupus. Opted for mastectomy to try and avoid having to have Chemo or Radiotherapy. He agreed it was better to avoid them if at all possible. Hopefully nothing shows up in Lymph nodes!

Metastasis Directed Therapy (MDT) is here to stay for Oligometastatic Patients !!! Part(1) SABR/SBRT
Greetings FPC Members, Metastasis Directed Therapy (MDT) is becoming a standard of treatment in oligometastatic patients. Some posters will say,"Well, I guess you can do SBRT to mets...it likely won't hurt...", but this is far from the truth... It is much more likely to BENEFIT you with a low potential

Can anyone recommend which blood tests I should have for a thorough Thyroid check.

Have an urgent referral for further investigation

PSA Rise
Hi everyone, My dad had a PSA test last week and it has risen from 1.7 to 10. He has recently come off a month course of radiotherapy to his so although we're hoping it could be to bounce, think it would be prudent to monitor this. His nurse has responded to me this morning saying that the oncologist
