Radiation to the chest (thorax / mediastitum) area?
Has anyone had radiation to the chest area? Specifically the mediastitum? PSMA scan shows 2 or 3 small Lymph Nodes in the area. No other area in the body shows any prostate cancer. If you have had the radiation, please let me know: 1) have you had any side effects 2) was the radiation treatment

Which should I take first and WHY ?? Cabazitaxel or Enzalutamide ??
As most of you know by now, I have been through Casodex, Eligard, Abiraterone, Docetaxel, Lu-177 and radiation therapy thus far. My remaining options are Cabazitaxel and Enzalutamide. Any idea which should I take first and why ?? Many thanks for any reply anyone may care to give.

Flu jab
I am due to have a flu jab on 26th Sept. I have 2 questions about the timing. I have just started a short course of steroids for a cough - 10 days only. I think the cough is the after effects from from primary lung cancer radiotherapy treatment. I take Ibrance and Letrozole for secondary breast

Single Bone Met
My partner was diagnosed three years ago, Gleason 9/10 and PSA 6.5 with Advanced Prostate Cancer. It had just gone into one of the seminal vessels but not lymph nodes. So removal was not an option. He was given radiotherapy and put on Zoladex for two years.. At the outset he was given a bone scan
