PSA after SBRT for Oligometastatic
I recently had SBRT (5x9gray radiation treatments) for a single spot on L7. The spot was found by a PET/PSMA scan. PSA at the time of the scan was 1.1. (Dec 2022) Originally treated for High risk PC with 5x9 and 1x10 Gleason with 2yr Lupron, Radiation and Chemo (Docetaxel). Treatment ran from Dec 2015

B12 & Folate Deficiency and tolerability of antibiotics (why I react badly to them)
I wanted to just share this in case anyone else has similar issues with reacting badly to some antibiotics (particularly Trimethoprim or Bactrim) after developing a B12 deficiency. I think I might've figured out why I am responding so badly to antibiotics I've tried over the past few months, that I

I’m scared of treatment
Venetoclax and Obinutuzumab My Haematologist has suggested that I may need to start treatment with these drugs and Calquence. I’ve been on Watch & Wait since diagnosed in 2014 when WBC count was just above normal range. Now it’s about six times higher than normal range and my red cell count has gone

Constipation after chemo
Can anyone please advise how they dealt with the constipation. My first chemo last week and I can honestly say I have never experienced anything like it! I ended up in hospital with faecal impaction. Ended up having an enema! Nurse called it a poobabie! Any advice would be very much appreciated xxx

Any suggestions for headache?
After initial diagnosis in 2015, I've had EBRT; brachytherapy; chemo in 2019; ADT since 2019 chemo; two bone Mets on spine since 2019, but no detectable PSA. Have been on Orgovyx since December, 2020. Still have everyday, lowgrade --- not migraine --- headaches, for which I take Excedrin. In talking

Xeloda causing hand redness and extreme tenderness ... playing phone tag with onc's nurse
I am frustrated and feeling more vulnerable and overwhelmed than I've felt during most of my 19 year journey with MBC. On day 5 of 7 days off Xeloda, second round of two weeks on, one week off. I phoned the cancer center either two or three times yesterday and twice so far today. On top of that, I

Radium 223 before Cabazitaxel?
This was prescribed today to manage bone pain and also because my PSA has not particularly responded to Docetaxel and the bone scan shows further cancer growth. There is some doubt as to whether more chemo will do any good. Has anyone had experience of doing things this way round? I assume I could

Is it possible for a stage of cancer to lower
Hi all, this may be a silly question but is it possible for the stage of cancer to change to a lower stage if treatment has been really successful? my husband is stage 4, Gleason 9 and has had hormones, chemo and radiotherapy. His oncologist is really happy with how he has responded and all sites

Carboplatin
Had a good year on Taxol and it knocked my CA15 down to almost normal but its creeping back up and my PET shows new activity. We discussed a ton of options and I am grateful there are so many. We also re-ran my original tumors through some more advanced genetic testing. The bottom line next drug is

Memory loss with Docetaxel
In November when I posted for the first time you all were so very helpful in making suggestions to help my honey when he began his Docetaxel chemo treatments on December 1, 2022. Your advice about icing his feet and hands, I believe contributed to his having no neuropathy. He has now completed five

Triplet Therapy Failed. Now what?
I've posted about my father here before - you can check my post history for my older posts. To keep it brief: 60 years old, diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer in June of last year (at 59). Doctor started with hormonal treatment while waiting for him to regain some strength, added Abiraterone (

Things have gone from bad to worse; need some hope and guidance.
Hi, Oh man what a terrible 10 days it has been. I wrote a couple weeks ago how my dad didn't seem to be responding to his Docetaxel re-challenge. "Before his first round of chemo Dec 20- PSA: 182 ALP:518 LDH:357 After his first round of chemo Jan 9- PSA: 281 ALP: 916 LDH:759 After his second round

Timing of Chemo (Doxytaxel)
We have been snowed in for over two weeks and I had to reschedule my infusion which is supposed to be every three weeks. Now it looks like we might not be able to get out for the new appointment. How important is the timing of infusions? We need to know how much of an effort we need to make to get out
