Xeloda after IV Chemo
Just wondering about Oral Xeloda after 6 rounds of IV Chemo didnt have the exact desired results we wanted. Wondering if there are times Xeloda achieved clear Margins on Liver Mets when IV Chemo didnt after 6rounds. Thanks for any input.

Happy Thanksgiving Eve
Also Happy Hump Day š https://youtu.be/PBsjggc5jHM?si=JPeepmKsrlzyNL0E Silly Kaiser thinks that Abiraterone is chemo and won't mail it, so gotta go down to Bakersfield monthly to get it, but this time I brought Chocolate covered Macadamia Nuts for the AIS Cancer Center Onco and Radiation staff.

Positiv result of cooling cap dependence on "the chemo drug"?
My friend is on Enhertu and she took the last two cycles cooling caps, the version with freezer. The result wasn't so good. Now she heard, that the reason for this could be the typ of chemo drug. Knows someone of you something about this? Or have somebody an idea if this could be possible? I'm looking

Dad with Stage 4 PCa - Need some words of wisdom...again please!
Hi everyone. Just got back from appointment with Dad's oncologist. To keep you up to speed - 3 months ago, his ADT injections stopped working and his PSA started to climb up slowly. Oncologist put Dad on Enzalutamide - been on it for 6 cycles - tolerated well but his PSA has gone from 76 to 87 in one

ibrance
Iāve been taking ibrance with faslodex since 2018. I had to stop taking ibrance because of hospitalization (3) for infections that I needed my immune system to fight. Probably 6 months. In that time I developed nodules (small) in bowel, pelvis and cervical 2. I was taken off both ibrance and faslodex

I have an amazing ability to pick relevant podcasts while driving. Just had my blood work done in preparation of starting Pluvicto and not being able to choose wisely while driving I picked this podcast which i have heard before and have even advocated on this forum before. Dr Chetty is so brilliant

Newly diagnosed metastatic PC treatment options
Hi, I'm 68 years old. Here are the key points in my story so far: In July 2023 a blood test showed a PSA value of 45. On September 26 2023, prostate MRI showed a dominant tumor in the prostate with extension into the right seminal vesicle. Also the fat plane between the rectum and prostate is lost
