Update on my sister
Many thanks to all of you who responded last time I posted a few days ago. My sister has had the results of her biopsy back and her cancer is progesterone and oestrogen positive and her2 negative. Could someone let me know what that means in terms of her treatment going forward. Last time she had BC

Treatment Decision
Hello Friends, Diagnosed 3A NSC. After completing chemo radiation treatment my PET Scan showed good response. My main 3mm tumor reduced and no current activity. Lymph nodes also inactive. Before treatment my oncologist said no surgery, but immunotherapy was preferred treatment. My PDL-1 tested

Statin and COX2 inhibitor for MCRPC?
Hi all, this is my very first post on this site and I must say many of you are very knowledgeable with regard to PC and its treatment. My husband was diagnosed at 57 with PC, PSA 60, T2b following prostatectomy and Glesson 4+3. PSA returned after surgery very promptly and the next two years followed

The journey continues
Hi all, So after having a robotic assisted prostatectomy in February last year my PSA has risen slowly after an initial jump from .02 to .15 after 6 months and is now .17. Due to having some issues with my stomach, IBS, bad indigestion my oncologist has referred me to the digestive diseases unit before

SpaceOAR Hydrogel for use during radiotherapy of prostate
This is new to me! Although it seems to have been around a while. I've just read about it in a local magazine. It's to late for me, I had RP. Suggest anybody having radiotherapy to prostate or prostate bed checks that it is being used. "SpaceOAR Hydrogel is an absorbable hydrogel that temporarily creates

today is the second radiation treatment (out of 25) for what my new radiologist is calling Oligomatastic* stage 4 prostate cancer.
such a strange feeling to have been told that this might act as a curative (not palliative) treatment. That I might be able to go off of Lupron...or that it might just give me a somewhat durable remission. All things I haven't dreamed possible for the past 5 years of treatment post radiation. It's

ProtecT Randomized Clinical Trial: Patient outcomes by treatment received - active monitoring, prostatectomy, or radiation
This is a planned re-analysis of the only clinical trial ever to randomize men with localized prostate cancer to active monitoring, prostatectomy or radiation therapy. They analyzed by the actual treatment received rather than the intended treatment. https://pcnrv.blogspot.com/2020/02/protect-randomized-clinical-trial.html

It’s okay if this post goes without a reply... felling ever so blue for what was but is no more... and just need a place to put it to ‘bed’
Forgive me for being sad when my intellectual side says I should be joyful. Joyful that my husband is fighting hard to push PCA out. Unlike some, I am blessed to have my husband of 26 years beside me but my life is irreparably changed It has been a little over 14 months sine my husband and best friend

Life after chemo...
I was diagnosed Oct 19 with Stage 4 Lung Cancer (non-small cell) with bone mets (thigh & spine). Was a complete bolt out of the blue as only went to GP with niggly pain in my back which then opened Pandora’s Box! Had 5 days of Radiotherapy on my right thigh bone (showed 72% chance of fracture) and

RP v. RT ... yet again
New Canadian study below [1]. It's a divisive topic. Studies show that men are more likely to opt for RT (radiation therapy) if they first go to an oncologist, whereas men are more likely to opt for RP (radical prostatectomy) if they first see a urologist. There are bias allegations against urologists

New gel-based nanosensor can monitor cancer radiation therapy doses.
More than half of all cancer patients undergo radiation therapy and the dose is critical. Too much and the surrounding tissue gets damaged, too little and the cancer cells survive.
