Delayed neuropathy after chemotherapy?
My last chemo (Taxel / Carbo) was 6 weeks ago. Two days ago I felt neuropathy in my left leg. Now it involves both legs (below knees): shooting pain, numbness and pins and needles sensation. Also the ankles have become painful as well. I never experienced such severe and wide spread neuropathy during

I am thankful if anyone can help me. My father PSA is 157 after 8 sessions of Docetaxel with 150 mg dose and 2 months Abiraterone after chemo. His health is not in a good way, anemia, loss of appetite, nausea and neuropathy. In the last blood test: Ferritin >2000 ng/ml CEA 12.79

I have started chemo and will have a guided mushroom trip real soon. The therapist recommended taking lion's mane with niacin before during and after the trip. I think I would like to take mushroom supplements for the duration of the chemo. When I did radiation I took either turkey tail extract or a

Fasting and icing during chemo
This is from ‘ The Times’ in the UK and probably behind a paywall but Each month I see PCa patients in the UK getting chemo and no sign of the ice slippers/ gloves that I had in Finland and I know for certain no one gets fasting advice here. Then I read about burning feet and loss of sensation and don

Reintroducing Lu-177
Will post information about my second round. Had Lu-177 2 years ago and flying back to India tomorrow. PSA 1.6 and climbing rapidly, PSMA shows 8 early bone mets .

Hi all, looking for some advise. My mum is currently fighting her second reoccurrence with weekly taxol and bi weekly avastin followed by a weeks break.

Thank you
Dear lovely people I usually like to respond to each reply I get on health unlocked. However I have been overwhelmed by the number of best wishes I have received, so please forgive me that I don't reply individually. I am so grateful for you all. Having tried to learn as much as I can about CLL

Prostate Cancer Was written in wrong section, oops sorry HU! I was absolute downer at that time, then 'party talk', and level playing field!
I have had it, I cannot sleep, my brain knows, my fingers and toes cringing. My relatives giving me gifts for absolutely no reason? I told them I was downsizing, what do they do, give me gifts! I am claustrophobic, more 'rubbish'! No family hugs anymore! They know that I know! I did not deserve this,

I think this topic is appropriate for this group so I will introduce it today since I can't find a prior discussion on the site. Sexuality is very important to me, an 18 year prostate cancer survivor at age 68. It is also important to my partner. My research indicates high satisfaction for each partner

More Radiation for bone pain?
I have had a good 6 year run since my diagnosis of stage 4 PC back in 2016. Odds were 70% that I would be dead by now. But now the Zytiga is wearing off…PSA is at a 4 month doubling rate and I have been experiencing more pain in my lower pelvis (ischial tuberosity) due to the advancement of the MPC in
