Abiraterone plus Prednisone and 3 monthly injection failing now in 79 year old dad with mets to bone on NHS in UK.
Hi Everyone, This site has been a great comfort and source of knowledge for me. I'm travelling down a difficult road. I've had a brain tumour/brain surgery. My mother has severe dementia. My father was diagnosed with PC in 2018. He had prostate removed in 2019, but cancer had already spread outside prostate

New To The Thread
63yo, 4+4=8 Gleason, PSA 0.05 (56 before treatment). I’m doing the triplet treatments with Lupron, Nubeqa, and taxotere (for chemo). My med oncologist has called it the STAMPEDE trial, although I’m not actually in a trial. I was diagnosed last August and recently finished chemo. I’m still on ADT.

PSA fluctuations on docetaxel?
Hello all, is it normal for the PSA to increase and decrease while on docetaxel? Dad’s enrolled in a clinical trial and is receiving chemotherapy (docetaxel). His PSA was declining but suddenly increased to 1.26 two cycles/doses ago, and to 1.39 last cycle/dose. Wondering if this is indicating his cancer

Neuropathy
Are there any new helpful remedies to ease the discomfort of this neurological disorder? I am into another round of chemotherapy, docetaxel and Carboplatin and would love to have minimal addition to the discomfort I already endure.

After your diagnosis of uterine cancer, how was your experience with the healthcare system?
I was diagnosed in 2015 with Stage 1A, serous endometrial cancer. My gynecologist made the diagnosis after a suspected diagnosis of endometrial polyps. She performed a D&C with biopsy and made the diagnosis. Fortunately, she was on staff at a highly ranked university medical center and was able to arrange

After RP who goes over Pathology?
We messaged Surgeon through portal and asked how many lymph nodes removed. He states that pathology will tell us that…Does the medical oncologist go over the surgery pathology?. My husband has great physicians, but definitely confused by these mixed messages of whom is willing to give my husband answers

Expectations after six cycles of Taxotere
My husband was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer nearly three years ago, receiving a regimen of ADT, which included abiraterone, Lupron and prednisone. When that no longer worked, he started first-line chemotherapy. He just completed his sixth cycle. His PSA dropped until the sixth infusion

Cancer drug found to contain life-threatening bacteria
Not specific to CLL but India is one of the leading countries in the world making generic drugs and this issue, in my opinion, is a cause for concern and why I always buy branded over the counter drugs when I need to. Incidentally, there are allegedly the same issues in China where the FDA theoretically

Prognosis Stage
My husband had throat cancer and was cleared in 2017. Then lung cancer last year, was cleared but its now returned.He is currently receiving Immunotherapy as chemotherapy wasn't helping. My question is why when we ask the consultant or her Registrar for a prognosis they don't know, we haven't been told

Xtandi failure?
After a successful - but short - period on Bicalutamide + Leuprorelin my PSA has risen from 1.1 to 1.7, to (now) 3.3. My last scan showed some micro-mets on my back, but organs were clear.Is it safe to say that Xtandi does not work for me? To be honest, I've had a miserable time on it, culminating in

Clinical trials for ATM gene
Have ATM gene and castrate resistant. Stage 4b lymph nodes spread. Anyone have any luck with any clinical trials for ATM gene? Have already had chemo and failed Zytiga.

pressing on my left kidney
. My urine elimination has changed now and
I have to "push" it out by tightening my muscles

waterproof PICC covers
hello. I’m new on here. I’ve just finished my chemo and am hoping to go swimming again. I still have a PICC line in for my regular Avastin and would like a completely waterproof cover for it. Does anyone have any recommendations?
