Mouth being sore is there any way to comfort this?
My mouth has begun to be sore the third day after chemo this time it’s has last almost up to the day to go back for another round of chemo. It’s very uncomfortable to eat and just the pain alone.

pruritus
Ever since I finished chemotherapy I have suffered severe itching and nothing seems to touch it. Has anyone else experienced this?

Just update. Got #5 yesterday. My psa was at 30 before this, so trending upward. Had radiation on hip 10 days before. Had psma scan after 2, saw some improvement. Boy, since diagnosed when psa was 1100, have gotten down to 5 (after chemo, then agin during zytiga). Maybe mine will always be elevated?

Peritoneal cancer with no visible disease
Hi everyone. I’m new here and am looking for information to help a close relative. She’s been given a diagnosis of primary peritoneal cancer. She presented with a pleural effusion and the cytology showed malignant cells consistent with an ovarian, tubal or peritoneal primary. However, there was nothing

Taxotere and fingerprints.
Here's a chemo side-effect I'd not heard mentioned here... After three rounds of taxotere to date my fingerprints aren't completely gone, but even with retraining my TouchID Mac and phone won't respond to them. To my eye they look smooth, but a close up photo reveals there's still a pattern. The skin

You are what you breath - but what you breath varies...
[i]MY reason for writing this is one or two people liked my answers about the strange world of breathing. I am not a clinician, nor a scientist so beware taking me literally. However some things are self-evident dear Watson. [/i] We breath in a mixture of oxygen (20%) , nitrogen (79%) and a tiny amount

Injections after chemo
Hi lovely ladies, I have HGSOC stage 4 and am about to begin my third lot of chemo in two weeks time. This time it’s Caelyx and I will need to give myself the injections for 5 days after the infusion. I dread this process and really don’t think I can do it this time. Does anyone else know if it is possible

Anyone had chemo without surgery?
Hi, everyone, I am new on here. I was diagnosed with high grade ovarian cancer one year ago. I have had one line of chemo of Paclitaxil and Carboplatin to which I responded fairly well. My CA 125 at diagnosis was just under 20,000 and went down to 88 post chemo. I must stress that I was unable to have

Ac-225 results and next steps
My husband traveled to Turkey mid-January to receive Ac-225 after Pluvicto failed. In spite of high PSMA uptake and no discordance, treatment failed as the widespread disease burden was too great. His liver mets in particular has grown exponentially since August when it was first seen immediately prior

Letrozole
Hi everyone, I just wondered about the side effects of Letrozole. I had 7mm bc removed via lumpectomy, due to have radiotherapy soon, no chemo required. I am really struggling with the possible side effects of this drug. I know we are all individuals but just wondered if side effects are as hideous as

VENCLEXTA’s impact
Hello everyone, I wanted to ask others their experience with VenClexta and memory loss. I am in month 10 and it is overwhelming the forgetfulness that I am experiencing. Your mind asks tje question is it permanent ? it’s a bit frightening. I have faced chemo many times as a 25 year CLL survivor

I'm a Teenager 13 years on
Today is my 13th anniversary of the day I completed treatment and started the long road to recovery. They removed my final chemo pump and took out the pic line I had had for 8 months. I'm very grateful to be here and thank everyone who has supported and been with me on this site. It's nice to post

Looking for support - glioblastoma
Hi, My 72 year old wife was recently diagnosed with a grade 4 glioma / glioblastoma. Short history is one hospital wanted to dive right in and do surgery. A 2nd opinion initially ruled it as inoperable after a biopsy. Then they did some tests to determine viability of an "awake" surgical resection.
