Recurrent Adenocarcinoma is now Stage IIIB
So I was scheduled to begin radiation on 11/18, but the week before, I reported pain in upper chest and back and some dysphagia along with a cough. A PET scan revealed a new lymphadenopathy above my clavicle. Also a suspicious mass-like growth above and adjacent to the very hypermetabolic subcarinal

Metastatic endometrial carcinosarcoma - not for treatment

My mum was treated for endometrial carcinosarcoma 4 years ago (chemo and brachytherapy). She was discharged earlier this year and given the "all clear

Last chance saloon
My husband was diagnosed with nsclc in November 2018. He has since had chemotherapy and radiotherapy. He had a good response to the radiotherapy but at the scan results we learnt that he had 2 new suspected metastasis. 3 months later we were told he had a tumour in his other lung and also his liver.

Searched here for "Embelin" and found nothing
Yet, Embelin or Vidanga sounds interesting. 1) "Embelin-Induced Apoptosis of Human Prostate Cancer Cells Is Mediated through Modulation of Akt and β-Catenin Signaling" (2015). "... Embelin, isolated as the active component of the fruit of Embelia ribes Burm, is one of the important small molecular inhibitors

PSMA GALLIUM PET SCAN
Met with my University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center RO last week. She said that the experimental scan that I paid out of pocket for at UCLA "was now the state of the art" scan for locating PC. In my case it was post op, pre ADT, pre radiation therapy. Results, thank God, was only localized

Advice for men who are about to start hormone treatment for metastatic prostate cancer?
I'm writing to request advice about what tests you would recommend I should get before and during hormone treatment, which I probably will begin sometime in the near future. The treatment will probably begin with Casodex and then add Lupron. I have an appointment early Wednesday morning with my urological

I rang the bell!
Finished the Radiation Therapy! I've made friends with all the girls (and guys, but they weren't so interested in selfies) in the department - we've had lots of banter about Santa - "I've been good" - "you're on the wrong list", so I decided to make it a little more memorable. Santa in the off season

I was so scared of taking Paclitaxol chemo, but it has been ok.
Hello, I had a mastectomy in April this year with additional removal of 6 lymph nodes. One aggregate deposit of .5, so my surgeon sent me to an oncologist for “possible radiotherapy and hormone treatment.” I am Triple Negative grade 3 stage 3. You cannot imagine the shock when she laid out her plans

I have reached the point after radiation therapy and Lupron therapy over the past 4 years where PSA has started its inevitable increase. The increase is small, but it has tripled in last 3 months. Waiting on results from blood draw on Tuesday. Status is nmCRPC. I’m considering changing my current

An inhalable nanoparticulate STING agonist synergizes with radiotherapy to confer long-term control of lung metastases
Immunotherapy is providing tremendous promise in the new era of cancer treatment. Checkpoint inhibitors and adoptive T cell transfer therapy have shown improved survival in melanoma, non-small-cell lung cancer, and renal cell cancer patients1,2. However, only a fraction of patients benefit from immunotherapy

2 years after radiotherapy
So today I had the results of my MRI two years after 6wk course of radiotherapy. Last year my AN had stabilised at 21mm however today was told it had increased to 23mm. Quite shocked at this as was expecting to hear I didnt need to be scanned for two years. Trying to be positive - gonna be a long wait

Progression on Ibrance
I have been on Ibrance and Aromasin since February. My CA27-29 dropped steadily each month, and my PET scan showed a complete clinical response in July. The next month the markers began climbing but I was told no worries. They climbed again in September and by October had doubled from July. A PET scan
