Anyone have experience with Provenge? Especially on PSA tests?
For my history, I was diagnosted with Prostrate cancer in 2018. Now 70 years old. I had Surgery in late 2018 where they removed my prostrate and found cancer in 2 lymph nodes. I have had 2 salvage radiation sessions, which appeared to be successful. I have been on Lupron, essentially since surgery

Stem cell transplant starts on Monday
A bit of background - In October 2021 I had a rapid and florid relapse following the end of my Ibrutinib treatment in FLAIR so I was started on Acalabrutinib with no effect and also had investigations for Richter's. Tests showed that I was resistant to the currently available BTKi's (two synergistic

Postponing chemo because of radiation?
Hi all, My dads first radiation has been sheduled for June 21st. However his 3rd chemo is set for June 26th. When briefly speaking with his RO he mentioned that chemo would be postponed in order to do radiation. This confused a me a little bit as from my understanding the radiation would be for pain

The Arm Saga continues...to chemo or not to chemo
Eric's nerve damage and pain from his chemo leak over two weeks ago has been pretty severe - he's on Cymbalta for the nerve pain, and it's very sloooowly improving. It also kicked his butt - he had been bouncing back from his 3rd round pretty well - until he wasn't and the nerve pain came on with a roar

Referral from Wales to England - any experience?
Hi. I'm HGSOC stage IVb diagnosed in Feb. Just had CT scan following 3rd cycle of carboplatin/paclitaxol and 2nd of Avastin. CA125 has reduced from 374 pre-chemo to 26 post 2nd cycle which I'm hoping is a positive sign! I have spread to my liver and spleen and have been told surgery will only be an option
