Carboplatin & Etoposide
Hi everyone. My dad will be starting Carboplatin and Etoposide next Monday. I was hoping to get some tips for helping make my dad comfortable. I have read random tips such as starting Claritin before and buying ice mitts/hat, etc. but wanted to ask those who have been through chemo, what are some helpful

Chemo may be helping
Hi Fellow Fighters, Prior to my third round of Taxotere last Friday, I had blood work done. After 2 rounds, my PSA dropped 4.7 points. TBH, I feel like crap today, but the results are promising. My blood work also showed low cortisol levels, how concerned should I be about that? Thanks.

post surgery FLOT decision!
Hi everyone we’ve got an appointment with the oncologist tomorrow to discuss whether or not to have the 4 cycles of FLOT. My husband was staged as T4a N1 or 2 and M0 and it was touch and go whether he could have the surgery. We were told because the tumour was so large and bulky he’d go for a trial dissection

Doxazosin and what’s next
I have had 2 strokes, one while undergoing chemotherapy, (ovarian cancer, hysterectomy and chemo due to cyst burst) which had to be stopped after 2 sessions due to reactions from Pachtaxel, and Dexamethasone(steroids). Was recovering well when woke up with limited movement on right. I have had high

side effects of Tamoxifen
I joined Health Unlocked in 2016 when my daughter was diagnosed with both breast cancer and diabetes. She was 36 at the time so it was the full works in terms of treatment. She underwent a lumpectomy in her left breast, chemo, radiation and has been on hormone therapy - 1 tab of Tamoxifen a day since

Gratitude
It is my husband who has AFib. A long story but having a lobe of his lung removed for cancer and grueling chemo causing heart and kidney damage and Covid have all contributed. But I am so grateful for this group. I am a retired RN and sometimes a little knowledge causes lots of anxiety. Thank you

Selective amino acid restriction therapy (SAART)
This is a follow-on from something that came up in the "
Cysteine depletion sensitizes prostate cancer cells to agents that enhance DNA damage and to immune checkpoint inhibition"
post. Some here may be unfamiliar with the idea of selective amino acid restriction. I have never been tempted to

PSA Question
I updated my husbands profile to show his PSA went from -- 2.08 in January to... 1.73 in February 1.77 in March 1.78 in April His next test is 6/6. It has never gotten lower than 1.24 back in December of 2022. Is it normal for some people to not have an extremely low PSA? He

Moving on...to olaparib
I recently updated to ask about chemo options, mainly cabazitaxel with or without carboplatin, or a second round of docetaxel, this time with carboplatin. I had been discussing these with my Mayo doctors, Kwon and Orme. Then earlier this week, Dr. Orme phoned me to report that after another genetic

Cortisol results help
Hi all,Recently started levo for underactive thyroid, have been feeling not quite right for a long time, think it all kicked off when my husband was diagnosed with cancer in 2019 when our baby was only 6months old. Thankfully it was caught early and after surgery and chemo he was given the all clear.

I had my BMB yesterday and it all went well 👍🏻
I thought I’d share that the whole procedure went well. I had a twilight sedation. I felt no pain. They explained to me that I would feel the anesthetic needle sting and pain for about 30 seconds. I only felt the first insertion prick and nothing more. Also they said that the bone cannot be numbed

Hi everyone, I wanted to update you all on todays experience with Professor Jayson at The Christie. Not only was he a lovely gentleman, he gave me hope back, told me I have options.

Possible thyroid removal
After 8 years of seeing an endocrinologist, diagnosed with autoimmune thyroiditis but with no treatment offered because my blood tests were always deemed normal, I had a huge shock last year when I was undergoing surgery for breast cancer. I have had a very large multinodular goitre all this time and
