Good Morning
Hope you are doing well. I am on the same medication. The same thing happened to me. I was in total shock 😲 I was told I would not loose my hair. I had my hair stylish cut it short. If you shave it your scapl will be more tender. Best of luck. Stay Strong 💪 Ps I found so many cute hats on Amazon

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.

Bowel Symptoms, Post Surgery 10 weeks, started pre-chemo and continuing/evolving
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

Hair Loss
My husband (David) is beginning to lose some of his hair from Chemo treatment do all patients lose their hair on docetaxel (taxotere). It is falling out in a lot of strains when he showers. Do all patients on this chemo lose all their hair or does it just get thinner. He has had no other bad side effects

liver Mets, Pluvicto failed
diagnosed 2021, spread to distant lymph nodes. Castrate resistant within 6 months. Had platinum based chemo. Stabilized for bit. 4 Pluvicto treatments. PSA went from 4 to 70. Latest scans show new mets to liver. Genetic testing shows ATM mutation. Where to go from here?

RIP TCEInvestments
With deep sorrow I am letting you know that this poster has finally lost his prostate cancer battle 1/25/24. He valiantly and relentlessly fought for 22 years and was Stage 4 for 8 years. With no more treatments available except another round of chemo with a different drug which his body could not withstand

Final Pluvicto treatment completed
My husband had his 6th and final Pluvicto treatment on January 19th. I don't attend these appointments but the Nuclear Doctor said his bone marrow looked good and labs were steady. I took lemon Squares for the staff for the follow up Scan. Scans have shown little changes after all these months but

Pluvicto (lutetium Lu 177
Questions Just got done with Gallium-68 showed limp nodes, spine, Arms and crown of head 1. Does Medicare approve Pluvicto (lutetium Lu 177? 2. I’ve had Radiation, And 24 months of Lupron and xtandi. And now my PSA is rising. Are you required to do Chemo before they approve? Thanks 👍

Mum getting biopsy results tomorrow
Hi all, my beautiful mum is getting her biopsy results tomorrow (Friday) but has been told she has a tumour and there is potential spread to lymph nodes and that the plan will be chemotherapy and immunotherapy. She has had two x rays, a chest CT and bronchoscope/biopsies but no further tests just yet
