Not well!!
I guess I just need to vent. I had 4 infusions of Enhertu and then a pet scan. The scan showed lung inflammation and tracheomalacia. My doc said no more chemo. She wants to send me back to Boston because she said they have more options. To be honest, I’ve been fighting this for 20 years and I think I

Rapidly Rising PSA
As some of you know, I am now under the care of two excellent oncologists, including Prof. De Bono at Royal Marsden Cancer Centre. I was originally deemed to have a non-aggressive cancer (in 14 years my PSA has never exceeded 4.1) However, over the last 6 weeks (when I have been on no treatment whatsoever

CYSTOSCOPY NEGATIVE August 2023
Hey Ladies and Gents. The urologist/oncologist says we can stop the monthly chemo infusions since my urinary bladder looks free of any neoplasm. And next April (2024), if it holds, I’ll be cancer free for three years and can get back on the lung transplant list. “Let your last thinks all be thanks

ED no more
My case is unusual in as much as I was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer four years ago. A bone scan identified many areas where I had bone mets, even one between my shoulder blades on my spine that looked like structural surgery was inevitable. My PSA topped 1000 and I had zero treatments of any

Running Out of Treatment Options; LU-77
Hello everyone, Unfortunately chemotherapy did not work for my father as there is progression on one of his nerves in his legs, which contributes to his inability to walk. My dad is set to start the LU-77 trial in September. If this fails, are there any other options? How effective is LU-77 and

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
