Radiotherapy Bleeding
Hi everyone, My dad is is currently half way through palliative radiotherapy on his prostate. He said he's started to see blood on the tissue when he wipes. He says sometimes only a bit then other times a bit more. The radiologist said this is about par for the course at this stage. I suppose the main

Bone Pain Remedy
For those unfortunate enough to have had bone pain, was you able to remedy it? And if so how ? My Dad has had some sharp pain running up outside of one of his legs around the side of the calf when he walks and some pins and needle in both feet. Obviously nerve irritation or bone infiltration could be

Leg cramps during/after ADT.
Perhaps unrelated? I am curious to see if anyone else has this issue. After radiation treatment (no surgery) I was treated with Lupron for 2 years. About halfway through, besides the normal side effects, I developed leg cramps during exercise, even a short walk. Calcium and Magnesium levels are normal

Running during radiotherapy? Is it possible?
Anybody have any experience of running during radiotherapy? I am starting radiotherapy in about 10 days, and was wondering if anybody has managed to keep running during treatment, or were just too knackered? I have done 2 shorter runs this week ( 2k and 3 k), prior to this I haven’t been able to run

PMR and cancer treatment
I was diagnosed with PMR in November last year and am taking 4x5mg pred per day. I have now been diagnosed with early stage prostate cancer and have been advised to have radiotherapy treatment. Does anyone have any experience of what effect PMR has combined with cancer treatment? I hope the question

You're okay until you're not
You’re okay until you’re not they say regardless of the trend. After a disappointing PSA last week I spoke with my RO and Uro about the results. I have great respect for the Uro and he knows my concerns well as we have discussed my fluctuating PSA many times. He believes the numbers are just incremental

What light have you found in your darkness
Hello! I'm feeling so blessed to find this group... I had Vulvar Cancer in 2019 and I had a secondary cancer in the lymph nodes of my pelvis. As I know you know, the treatment was harrowing! 26 treatments of Radiotherapy and 5 rounds of Chemotherapy. My skin looked like a burns victim. It's

CT scan
Not me, a member of my family has been diagnosed with breast cancer for a 2nd time. Not sure what type. All I know it the lump is a centimetre, has come from a duct. She has been offered a lumpectomy with radiotherapy or 2nd mastectomy with medication for five years. I’m worried now though as she has

RA and breast cancer
I had been taking Mythotrexate for about ten years and I was fine with it, although I did get some bad headaches. To shorten a lengthy story, I was diognosed with breast cancer in February 2019 and was very lucky to have an operation the following month, but in a private hospital as the main hospitals

Consultant Meeting with Mum
So My Mum had her appointment today. It was horrible because I knew something was up when we were put in a room and the doctor attended with the nurse. He has basically said that Mum's tumour in the upper left has grown but there is also more cancer in the chest area. This means the treatment - immunotherapy

Looking for correct group
Can anyone please advise if there is an HU group for my circumstances. I have SCC from parotid gland which has spread to neck lymph nodes. It's been removed by neck dissection and I'm on day 2 of Radio Therapy. Looking for support for the side effects of RT as well as recovery from the surgery. Thanks

PSA creeping up
Sixth anniversary of Proton Therapy at UFPTI. Results of PSA yesterday showed increase from 2020 to 2021 of 0.92 to 1.02.
