QoL - a great gig last night!
As there have been a few posts recently about quality of life, I thought I'd put one out there about my main current avenue of enjoyment - playing bass guitar in a club band. We had a cracking gig last night with a packed dance floor all evening. A highlight for me as the bassist was our new song; a

Doxetaxel chemotherapy cycle 3, Managing well for time being, but a question ❓
So chemo 3, white blood cells low....Oncologist was considering delay.....1.4 white blood cell count. Question 1, anything I can do to help replace white blood cells??? Question 2, PSA rose 0.07 to 0.09 which is first time I've seen a raise in value??? I'd expect chemo to kill, and negate PSA rise?

PSA hovering around 1 even after a year on ADT + Enza, should we insist on Triplet Therapy ?
Hi All, My Father was diagnosed with Advanced PCa with extensive bone mets but no visceral spread last November. His PSA at dx was 325 and Gleason was 4+5 with all cores positive. His treatment started off with 10 sessions of Palliative RT followed by combination of Degarelix + Enzaluatmide + Denosumab

The power of love
My first post! I was first diagnosed last year February with stage 3B. Not fun. But after 30 radiation treatments and 8 chemo sessions it had shrunk to the point where the docs were satisfied that it was probably dead and we could proceed into an "scan, wait and see " mode. I tolerated chemo and

Silly Question: Would anybody know or have experience of how best to take Colestyramine (Cholestyramine in USA) for bile acid issues? i.e. When to take is in relation to meals and snacks, including time after/before eating or whatever.

He’s home! Hurrah!
After 7 weeks in hospital my husband is home. Initially they were treating him for an infection and no antibiotics were touching it. It was only when they got the bone marrow culture showing Hodgkins transformation that he turned a corner. The ABVD chemo was a game changer. He had two chemos in hospital

Me again. Spoke to doc. Here's the plan if you're interested
SO... here's the plan. He feels that it is not urgent to change medication, Instead I am to up the Xeoloda dose for the next 6 weeks while I am traveling, then we watch markers and possibly scan in 3 months. My markers tend to correlate to my situation. He doesn't think I will be on Xeloda for

Anxious about radiotherapy
Hello everyone. I’ve just come back from seeing my oncologist and am feeling flat and anxious.

Fourth line chemo
Just wondering if anyone has had success with carboplatin fourth time around? It has worked well for me for three lines now, over six years, in various combinations, but I'm losing my nerve a little that carbo and I can do this again. First round tomorrow, carboplatin as single agent initially - possibly

Letrozole and low neutrophils
Yes, I agree with the previous posts that the low neutrophil count is due to the Ibrance, not the Letrozole. And that study about taking Ibrance days 5 on 2 off works well. The Ibrance is a targeted chemo. Whereas the Letrozole is an aromatase inhibitor. When I was taking only Letrozole, there were

Thanks and goodbye
My darling husband died last month at the age of 87, eleven years after his diagnosis. of oesophageal cancer. His chemo worked so well and he made a stunning recovery from the keyhole operation. So we had ten more years of love and fun before another cancer got him.This site was a great help to me then
