Does kidney function get affected by this?
Hi all, Just got news for my dad that his Kidney is only 60% functioning.. super nervous and anxious to really research online what this means.. is this common after treatment.. is this a really bad sign.. I am super frantic right now and have no idea if this is releated to the prostate cancer, or

Recommendations for Body Wash and Moisturiser During Chemotherapy.
Hi all, I have noticed my dad has dry and itchy skin (no rash) after his first round of chemo and understand this is a common side effect. We have been advised to use non-scented shower gel and moisturizer but there are so many on the market, I wondered if anybody has any recommendations? Thank you

8/4/23 Update questions for MO
To review, after 19 months on Lupron, Zytiga, prednisone, PSA increased on 1/23 to 0.253, then 0.309 on 2/21. Plarify scan showed only one active site in hip which was radiated. 4/4 PSA dropped to 0.24 which indicated the lesion was knocked out and I would be hormone sensitive and stay on Zytiga. Yea

Radium-223 + Xtandi?
I’ve been on chemo (cabazitaxel + carboplatin) since Jan 2022 and also on Zometa and Lupron. PSA went from 1.3 in Jan 2023 to 11.7 this month. CT and Bone scans show bone mets somewhat stable but with activity, all bone no soft tissue. PET PSMA earlier this year did not show enough tracer activity

Why no maintenance medication?
I was diagnosed with stage 3C1, grade 3 endometrial cancer October 2022 and had surgery, chemo and 25 sessions external radiotherapy. I haven't been put on maintenance medication to prevent recurrence. Is this usual? Are others in this position? I live in the Uk.

clinical trails for metastatic castrate resistant pc
It appears my husband may have become castrate resistant. PSA has risen from undetectable <.1 to now .2. We speak with oncologists on Wednesday. I believe he might have the possibility of radiation as a treatment bc he was oliogometastic at diagnosis 15 months ago. He had chemo along with hormones

1st reccurence and a 1 year prognosis
my mum is currently tolerating her second line of chemo after a ‘significant’ reccurence just under a year after frontline. Her oncologist has supported her medical retirement and wrote her prognosis is less than a year. How can this possibly be :(

Remission after 2 months?
My consultant told me that I am in complete remission because of my very good blood results. But he also said that the treatment with chemotherapy (Obinutuzumab plus V.) had to carry on, otherwise the remission will not last. I thought remission means no treatment at all. He is talking everything

Was Chemo "Successful"?
I just had my first PSA test after waiting to allow the results to mean something, after 10 rounds of doxytaxel. I was supposed to wait three months but for convenience pushed it by a week. I was hoping for a close to 0 PSA but that is not the case. I see my oncologist in a little more than a week

Support Group
Good Morning, I am a newbie. I live in Suffolk, near Ipswich and was wondering whether there were any others near me who would be interested if I were to set up a local support group to meet up. I had stage 3 ovarian in September 2021. I was operated on and had 6 lots of chemo. To date I have

Any tips welcome on how to tolerate chemo
As you know, my 88 year old warrior of a father, has battled his cancer HARD for 16 years. He has been optimistic despite all of this, and has always KNOWN he can beat this. A great attitude to have. He has declined quite a bit after having a spontaneous fracture of his pelvis 8 weeks ago - after 5

New MRI finding
Yesterday I had an MRI due to some back pain. I had an MRI, pet scan in February and clean CAT scan in June. Plus all of my labs have been perfect. Now they’re telling me that they see a 2.1 CM metastasis on my L2 area of my spine. I am a bit freaked out but I’m trying to wrap my head around this.

I am the wife of a husband who has advanced prostate cancer. He has just finished 6 rounds of Taxotere chemotherapy and has been taking Orgovyx and Nubeqa since his diagnosis. I am interested in exploring more holistic approaches in going foward with his treatment.

Hello strangers.
Hello, just thought that having been banned from the Cllforum years ago for no good reason, I would catch up with what has been happening to some of the people I liked so much. (I was banned for complaining about the ALT-MED stuff that used to appear so regularly there, and the fact that it was treated
