Hello I have not posted for a while but I wondered if any had any thoughts to help me with my dilemma. I have had 18 rounds of chemo and rucaparib all of which have been successful for a while.

Should I go back on 1 or 2 mg prednisone due to fatigue?
Hello friends! After a four year term of GCA, while doing a very slow taper of prednisone l have been off of prednisone for several months. Occasionally if I’m very fatigued I take a 1 mg. I have been very fatigued for the last few days and I’m wondering if I should maybe go back on a daily 1 mg

Radiotherapy treatment
Hey everyone, it's me again. Thanks to all so for for reading and for those who have offered advice. It is very helpful. I am writing on behalf of my mum, who as SCLC on right lung.

Xtandi did not work.
Hi all, I'm new to this board but would love some feedback. My father, 80, has been dealing with prostate cancer for a few years. He had initially had radiation plus Lupron injections. His PSA started rising again a few years ago and he wound up on Lupron regularly. His PSA has been slowly rising

Low platelets advice
Hi all, Mum has just had her 4th cycle of chemo but her platelets have been at their lowest so far and a little concerned. Chemo was delayed by almost a week as initial blood tests showed platelets at 48. They got back up to 112 so was safe to have the chemo, but I’m wondering if they will continue

Docetaxel
Anyone willing to share experiences with Docetaxel? Good, Bad, and Ugly. Any recommendations or advice to help with side effects etc. My husband is in year 7… He has been on the traditional SOC with ADT… Lupron, Firmagon, Nubequa, and lastly Zytiga. All have ceased working. His PSA has risen to

Very promising: PIP Polyspecific Integrin-Binding Peptide, a novel and very flexible platform
Basically, they have developed a technology that can simultaneously bind to different "proteins" expressed by cancers. This means a wider specificity. One cancer mutation could express for example KRAS 12C and another KRAS 12D (just an example using terms and mutation I know!) and the chemo drug would

Finished my second treatment last week. My PSA went from 10 to22 after the first round. Today after the second round it dropped to 15. Anyone else have a jump after the first treatment and then continued to decline for the remaining treatments. I have failed chemo and xtanti and have read that

Lymph Node Irradiation for a Potential Cure
I have read that some men have been cured from earlier posts that I have read. Currently I have been on abiraterone and Lupron for 21 months. I only had one docetaxel, before catching pneumonia, so chemo was halted by my oncologist, stating the chemo would kill me before the cancer. The one chemo

Continued Journey
Getting my forth chemo treatment today. This has been much easier than the O CHOP. It has been smooth sailing especially with the surgically implanted port.( I forgot to mention). I am starting to notice some fatigue and energy slow down which is quite natural. One more chemo treatment tomorrow then

hair loss
I was wondering what others experience has been with hair loss during docetaxel. I completed my 10th round on May 2. After my first five treatments, I didn’t really lose any hair, and then the last five it got thinner, but I still had a decent amount. Now, over a month since my last treatment I seem

Good day to all fellow warriors, I used to post as Arnie1970, but that account stopped working. After the initial scare of a stage 4 cancer diagnosis, a lot has happened. Four grand children were born( two boys, two girls). I stopped working, and we traveled a lot. Even though I stopped writing.

Looking for vitamin C infusions in Perth, Western Australia without glutathione?
Dear all Vitamin C infusions were tremendously helpful for my Dad in 2017 when he was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer and underwent a prostatectomy, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Now trying to find them again. Those I have found include glutathione which I think is not good with cancer.

Update Day 4 of Treatment for Richters Transformation
Had a major hick up day 4. The beginning of an anaphylaxis reaction. Chemo stopped. Rapid response team called and in my room in 2 minutes. Got IV benedryl, epinephrine, Pepcid. Things resolved pretty quick but the lymph nodes in my neck enlarged so they ordered an mri stat. In the evening had another
