Quality of Life vs. Extending Survival
Please consider the following question that I have been pondering: How would you place a value on a certain number of months or years with restored vitality, virility, strength, both physical and mental, in other words the fullness of life and happiness? And that weighed against the number of months

Advice for my brother, terminal diagnosis
He then had no further treatment until just over a year later - one round of chemo and
immunotherapy
. He had an awful adverse reaction to the treatment and was really poorly for a while afterwards.

Does Jevtana/carboplatin cross the blood-brain barrier?
I failed what may be the hottest
immunotherapy
therapy trial in the world (the “BiTE protocol) but then again half the men on the trial see no benefit and the scientists don’t know why, yet. If anything I and a fellow patient feel like the
immunotherapy
drugs supercharged our prostate cancer!

Durvalumab not working, based on Guardant 360 Tumor Response Map...
In FEB 2022, 16 days after the last radiation dose was administered, we immediately began her monthly
immunotherapy
regimen of Durvalumab (Imfinzi). We did a CT scan at that point that revealed a marked improvement from the PET/CT that was conducted in SEP 2021.

Don't take Tylenol (acetaminophen or paracetamol) if you are using any kind of immunotherapy
It may increase regulatory T cells and PD-1 expression, which stop immunotherapies from working. It also changes the enzymes responsible for drug metabolism, and may cause drug-drug interactions (also a reason to avoid supplements when taking other medicines). https://ascopubs.org/doi/abs/10.1200/JCO

immunotherapy
, I have been found to have no residual cancer cells after a bone marrow biopsy at Dana Farber on July 21, 2022! Three cheers for 6 doses of Rituxan and 24 months of Venclexta!!

Immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors for MPN
A new
immunotherapy
takes the brakes off the T cells, so the own immune system can attack and clean up the abnormal cells. These drugs are checkpoint inhibitors.

Resveratrol Revisited. For Gut Microbiome.
There are several domains, or perhaps I should say tiers, of interest in the overall consideration of men fighting Advanced Prostate Cancer. The first domain, which is of primary interest to all here, are therapies or interventions that actually fight the prostate cancer. Prostate cancer treatments

Another Brain Met
I have been having chemotherapy but that was delayed due to diverticulitis caused by previous
immunotherapy
, so out of 4 sessions I should have had I've only had two, when I start chemo again it will be almost a 3 month gap, this really worries me because the cancer has probably had time to spread all

Dostarlimab shows efficacy as curative-intent treatment in rectal cancer subset
“Cercek and colleagues and their patients who agreed to forgo standard treatment for a promising but unknown future with
immunotherapy
have provided what may be an early glimpse of a revolutionary treatment shift,” Sanoff wrote.

Tafinlar/Mekinist & Opdivo together
He is going back on BRAF meds starting next week, but the Dr is not doing the
Immunotherapy
right now. My question is Did others do both at the same time? Or was it just because Mark was so ill in 2017.

Missed Chemotherapy Sessions
I had my first two chemotherapy sessions in early March, the second two had to be delayed due to diverticulitis caused by my
immunotherapy
I had in September. I was admitted to Christie's over Easter to resolve the diverticulitis.

Maintenance trials
Do you guys know about maintenance trials after 4 cycles of successive chemo and
immunotherapy
? I am in the clear now. My doctor wants me to get a standard treatment: to continue
immunotherapy
and have a consolidation thoracic radiation, but it does to seem enough to me.
