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

Castrate resistant - new spot?
Hello wonderful people. I can't tell you how much support you have given me and my dad over the past year - if I could hug you all I could. We are back in another quandary which I'm hoping you can shed some light on... My dad is on Zoladex, he had had radiotherapy to the prostate and 4 x Docetaxel to

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. Here is my history: 07/15 2.50 01/16 1.30 07/16 2.56 01/17 0.75 01/18 1.41 04/18 0.76 07/18 0.85 01/19 0.79 01/20 0.92 02/21 1.02 I have to say this is very disappointing. Especially

Clinical Trial Niraparib or XOFIGO
Good morning, I am new to this forum and am thankful for having found it. I am trying to learn as much as I can about my husband’s diagnosis and pray that we are making the best decisions for his treatments. To this point we have not sought out a 2nd opinion and have wholeheartedly trusted in the treatment

Bumpy ride
My CLL journey of a&e admission, neutropenic sepsis, failed chemo, many blood transfusions, IVIG and Ibrutinib. Now, Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Oropharyngeal Cancer! (Breathe) so, radiotherapy awaits.

Who has had radiotherapy without terrible balance effects etc on tumor 15mm pressing on brain stem or similar
Hello, my fellow AN warriors! I've been told by the team at Kings that I may not be a candidate for radiotherapy due to the position of my tumor on the brain stem. It's 15mm at it's largest. My only symtoms are (crazy persistent) tinnitus, some hearing loss, numb ear and a new very occasional twitchy

Gynae Cancer Narratives - research study
Would you be interested in sharing your experience with a research team from Lancaster University to better understand how radiotherapy affects social, sexual and personal lives?

Any information about sensitivity to CT scans on parts of body that have been affected previously by Radiotherapy and Brachytherapy?
H all, I've not posted a question on here before but have responded to a post. I had Radiotherapy for cervical cancer 16 years ago and have had gastro problems helped by cholestagel, urinary and vaginal problems too. Two months ago I had to have CT scans for investigation. I hadn't realised they were

Diagnosis
I have grade 2 invasive ductal breast cancer. I have 2 cancers, both in the right breast. Both are progesterone and oestrogen receptor positive, but one also has the HER2 protein marker. Because of that I get the entire gold package; surgery, reconstruction, chemo for 6-12 months with hair loss counselling

Restarted C25K after cancer
Hi, just relaying my experiences so you don't give up. I've just ran W4R2 after restarting Couch to 5K on New Years Day. That's 2 years to the day since I graduated C25K but things went a bit wrong after that. Graduated 1/1/19 but started getting slower and tired all the time. Finally found out I had

The efficacy and safety of radical prostatectomy and radiotherapy in high-risk prostate cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis
For your consideration........recent update...... https://wjso.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12957-020-01824-9 Conclusion here...... RP seems to offer better OS but inferior results for CSS and biochemical recurrence. Brachy boost may perform better in all aspects. I think Tall_Allen has already

Is radiation treatment just palliative?
Recent PSMA and Axumin scans show two spots, one in the back area in soft tissue near the 7th rib and the other in the bone marrow in the right femur. Both small. My MO initially recommended radiation. Two days later, at our latest in-person appointment, he told me that if I get radiation now it could

Should I be freaking out???!!
Following my second biopsy just before Christmas, the preliminary results just after, Gleason 6 (3+3) before, now G7 (3+4), 4 cores all positive at target site, one was 11mm of cancer and finally, the pathologist found 'ductal cancer' and this meant they suggested some form of treatment - either RP or
