Hi Everyone, I am feeling really bummed tonight…over the past 5 months I was on Enhertu, I qualified because of the destiny trials.

Docetaxel results so far
People want to know if Docetaxel is worth doing due to the side effects. My husband just had a recent PSMA PET scan after 5 treatments and the result is compared with the same scan method done before treatment began: [i]Impression (Summary)[/i] [i]Mild improvement in subcarinal adenopathy, left lung

PSA went up after three treatments of chemotherapy
I have had 3 Chemotherapy treatments with Docataxel. before the first treatment PSA was 89. after the first treatment PSA was 73.31.. after the second treatment PSA was 52.82. after the third treatment, PSA was 73.31.. does it make sense to take another chemotherapy treatment since the PSA has risen

Hip pain - related to radiotherapy?
I had chemo/radiotherapy for anal cancer in 2015 and was given the all-clear in 2021. There have been a number of side effects since but 12 weeks ago I developed pain in my right hip at the end of a walk (keen walker). GP doesn't know what the cause is (no surprise there!), but arranged an X-ray, which

What should I expect at the end?
My dad 77 year old had been battling castration resistant prostate cancer for many years. He was in remission for awhile (unsure exactly how long as he was secretive about the whole thing) however it made a huge comeback in January of 2022 and he has been through a short stint of chemo as well as

Enhertu side effect: pneumonitis (lung inflammation)
Hi all, After 3 years on oral meds I had to switch to IV chemo in December and started with Enhertu. After my 2nd infusion I developed pneumonitis (lung inflammation), which is a known risk with Enhertu and can be dangerous if left untreated. The main intial symptom is a persistent dry cough, indicating

Good Morning

Chemotherapy: Fraudulent and Deadly?
Moving into Chemotherapy for my next step and I told my MO that I would prefer Lu 177 over Chemotherapy. That was the wrong thing he wanted to hear. He said that I would need to follow protocols and chemo was the next therapy. I told him I was going to check on LU 177 in Las Vegas 100 miles from my home

Add Nubeqa to Orgovyx?
Age 81. I had prostate radiation in 2021, and pelvic node radiation in 2023. PSA was 3.78 in Dec 2023. PSMA PET then showed cancer growing in prostate, shrinking in pelvic node, but spread to an abdominal node. I have started ADT with Orgovyx (relugolix) and want to add an ARI. The urologist wants

Provenge (only) - impact on overall survival
I just got insurance approval for Provenge...out of pocket is really high so now I'm doing a cost benefit analysis in my mind. I've seen many different articles showing that Provenge ALONE only extends overall survival by 4-15 months. Does that sound correct? Tall_Allen mentioned adding xofigio for

To Chemo or Not to Chemo--that is the ?
Should I follow my MO's advice and do docetaxel? Since I'm now 78, and have read terrible accounts of chemo, I have held onto the belief that I would do everything to avoid chemo since the treatment appears to be worse than the alternative. But she's really not giving me an alternative, other than

Chemotherapy
I was diagnosed with cll in 2012. Went on 6 months of iv chemo in 2017. Was in remission for awhile and on one of my returned visited things had changed. My doctor wanted me to try the chemotherapy treatment of Calquence(acalabrutinib) tablets. For me the results was coming very slow but was working.

Hello again lovely ladies. I had my first Carbo/Taxol infusion last Thursday. The day before I had to go to the dentist as I had bad jaw ache and thought it must be a tooth infection. It wasn't luckily. (I think I had had pre-chemo nerves-related nightmares the previous two nights and had been grinding
