Good news from biopsy
The report just arrived that a biopsy of a vertebrae shows no signs of cancer. My original bone scan showed activity in the rt tibia and in the T6 vertebral body. Subsequent scans showed no activity in the tibia, but the activity in the T6 vertebra persistented and showed no regression after several

Sugar and cancer, in particular Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (CLL/SLL) – what you need to know
We've had a few questions lately about whether we should avoid sugar after a diagnosis of CLL, from members concerned about the influence of sugar in their diet on their CLL progression and of course because of the simplistic claim that sugar feeds cancer cells, so starving ourselves of sugar will starve

Ultra-Hypofractionated vs Conventionally Fractionated Radiotherapy for Prostate Cancer
TAKE-HOME MESSAGE •This phase III noninferiority trial compared ultra-hypofractionated and conventional radiotherapy for intermediate- to high-risk prostate cancer. Ultra-hypofractionated radiotherapy was noninferior to conventional radiotherapy in terms of failure-free survival at 5 years. Early

PSA After Neoadjuvant Androgen Suppression in Prostate Cancer Patients Receiving Short-Term Androgen Suppression and EBRT
TAKE-HOME MESSAGE •The aim of this study was to evaluate whether PSA levels after "neoadjuvant" androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with external beam radiation (EBRT) are associated with clinical outcomes. Patients were divided into two groups, including PSA levels >0.1 ng/mL and ≤0.1 ng/mL following

Go off Firmagon to see if radiation worked?
We've got a decision to make and I'd value any feedback from you. My husband had HIFU 3 years ago and we hoped we were home free. PSA started to rise. We started on Firmagon and an Axumin scan found 3 local lymph nodes with PC, we opted for radiation to the lymph node area (thanks to Tall_Allen for the

Sometimes feel it is only me but it can’t surely?
Good afternoon wise and wonderful people in my iPad. Did any of you have your thyroid function destroyed following radiation therapy in the 1950s for removal of a birth mark or similar. Perhaps you know someone who did? I am assured this cause is not covered in the guidelines for a referral

Advice on most complete lab tests to do, including possible Vitamin deficiencies, for Hypothyroidism after radiation therapy
Hi to all, I have found various lists of labs to be done, one that seemed comprehensive I couldn't download, and would be thankful if someone could spell it out for me again (my memory is not too good...!) I am currently on Tirosint, since May, and it's proving difficult to manage. (I can give more info

Radiotherapy In The Definitive Management Of Oligometastatic Prostate Cancer

Hyperthyroid and heart failure
Last year I had left ventricular failure with a ejection fraction of 35 but the last test was an ej of 55. I take ramipril 2x 5mg and have been told to stay on it for life as an article in the lancet says if I stop my heart failure could return. Is this correct. I have also been hyperthyroid for several
