Spinal Compression
My brother recently experienced a spinal compression incident (between T5 and 6). This eventuated or perhaps more accurately, accelerated from two weeks earlier when he started to feel 'sluggishness' of leg movement to complete leg paralysis after he had 5 sessions of SBRT (total 20 Grays). Good movement

Hello everyone. I’ve decided to follow the LCHF diet as opposed to counting calories. Can anyone help me please, does it give you headaches and make you tired. I was very tired all day yesterday and have had headaches also.

Palliative care advice
I’m on a syringe driver and can have prn (booster) every two hours. On top of that I can have 2 doses of oramorph and larazapan in a 24hour period. I’m also on Oxygen 24h. The other day I had a very bad “attack “ of being breathless and I was pretty much begging for some sort of relief but was told

Secondary Cancer?
Husband diagnosed G9, 2004. IMRT, Brachytherapy, ADT, Provenge. Recently a mass near the ureter, 4.2cm was seen on a Ct scan. Needle biopsy; carcinoma w/squamous differential. Maybe a secondary cancer, possibly caused by excessive radiation. Getting a second review of slides. Anyone with comments or

Hughes Syndrome - December 2019
He was treated in the

unit, with kidney failure, low platelets and brain involvement. Interestingly, his anti-cardiolipin (aCL) test was positive. Could this be a case of so-called catastrophic APS?

Palliative Care..
Hi all my lovely Mum with CBD (10th year) has been 4 weeks in hospital. She was initially admitted with abdominal blockage, then urine infection, then aspiration pneumonia. During the throes of awful pneumonia she lost her already weak ability to swallow. We were told it wouldn't be humane to put a PEG

What is major source of PSA Expression after ADT Vacation?
Once one has become PSA undetectable, with prostate zapped with IMRT, and goes on ADT vacation what is the most likely cause of increased PSA expression? Micro tumors in blood? Remnants of prostate tumor (if any), or existing mets?

Hmm... Why am I on Zytiga?
Here is an email that I sent to my MSK MO yesterday (Dr S is my RO). I'm blessed to have both of them caring for me. They give me all the time that I need and answer every question I ask, with patience and clarity. Just want feedback from our great forum. "Happy (belated) New Year, Doc! I'm prepping

SBRT
Regarding SBRT and no spaceoar. Procedure completed today for markers however Spaceoar was tried to be injected but due to prostate space between rectum it was too small a space. Now not sure what to do. RO is considering 28 day IMRT vs SBRT since no protection in place. Incredibly agitated that placement

Non standard Firmagon dosing effective for 3 months from single injection.
My ongoing one-person trial of non-standard dosing for Firmagon (degarelix) for ADT continues: I'm now 3 months out from a single injection of 120Mg. in abdomen fat. (Not the usual starting dose of 240 mg.) as short term adjuvant ADT for RT to pelvic nodes. Total testosterone level is still castrate

Electronic hoist & Hospice arrived the same day
We were just getting started with Palliative Care and it was decided that we were better suited for Hospice. I had no idea we would qualify for Hospice this early (of course, who knows how early it really is). I am so thankful for this. The benefits are probably as good as you can get in the U.S. Incidentally

When to start ADT for metastatic disease
I was wondering when started ADT and what was the threshold and/or symptoms that made you decide to start? As a little background, I was diagnosed back in June 2008 with Gleason 8 - my PSA was about 4 at the time but had risen quickly. I had robotic surgery in Sept. 2008. Small encapsular extension and

Lung infection symptoms
Being in ICU - If you were admitted to
Intensive

Unit some time back, it builds the danger of contamination in lungs.
