PSA stabilizing to 99.30 (from 3103), should we seek additional treatment or wait?
Hello everyone and thank you for this wonderful community for giving me so many resources. My dad was initially diagnosed at a very high PSA of 3103 and he is doing triplet therapy, he is about to take his fifth docetaxel chemo dose and it seems to have stabilized to 99.30. He has bone metastases since

Chemo mucositis?
After chemo session #5 I thought I had bronchitis; coughing up very thick mucus from down deep in the chest, but it cleared up in about 10 days, and is back again after chemo #6, so I'm guessing it's chemo induced mucositis. Anyone have tips for dealing with this beyond salt/baking-soda mouth washes

HER2 and ER positive breast cancer
I tripped over in the garden and fractured 2 ribs; while in hospital scans showed lesions; was referred to breast clinic and the cancer was found. I was originally scheduled for a lumpectomy but they found the HER2 & ER positive, so now chemo and targeted therapy followed by surgery and radiotherapy.

First post!
Hello. Not posted before and feeling nervous! I was diagnosed in 10/22 with HGSOC stage 3 after only a couple of weeks of symptoms. I am being cared for by an amazing team and after finishing 6 rounds of chemotherapy I had surgery on 24/4/23. Complete faith in my surgeon. At surgery they could not remove

Pain at base of abdomen with stage 4 HGSOC.
I’ve had HGSOC stage 4 since April 2021. I was never offered surgery and I’ve just begun 6/8 sessions of Caelyx as third line chemo. I have a pain/ache at the base of my abdomen, it comes when I sit down and stand up and I also have it at night when I wake up to use the toilet. It’s alleviated slightly

Mucinous Ovarian Tumour
Hi. I recently had a total hysterectomy following a scan showing an ovarian cyst. The report showed stage 1a mucinous ovarian tumour on my left ovary. I had subsequently had blood tests - CA125, CA19-9, liver, kidneys and full blood count, all of which were normal. I now have conflicting advice from
