Breakthrough pain
I have read many posts which write about breakthrough pain. However until the MacMillan nurse who visited me at home yesterday mentioned this I hadn't really thought it applied to me. I am now on palliative care so I know the disease is growing - again who knows at what strength and rate? Over the

Radiation Proctitis and Anal Sex?
Three years after IMRT to the prostate and pelvic lymph nodes I had a colonoscopy and the report contained images of the procedure, two of which that showed the rectum were labeled 'radiation proctitis'. The images depicted what appear to be small red 'spider veins' and a larger area of uniformly red

8 years since dx, doing well ...
Hi, I'm new here, brief history of my prostate cancer is below. My cancer has been kept under control with very low dose casodex since psa recurrence, so I'm grateful for that. Casodex monotherapy for high risk pca patients is not the standard treatment, however it's working for me, at least until now

Ongoing GI side effects from Yervoy
It's been a week of extremes. Our youngest daughter got married on Sunday, and it was such a day of joy. There were smiling family, happy friends, beautiful bride and groom, new in-laws, great weather (outdoor ceremony!), dinner and dancing, and I ended the night sitting by an outdoor fire overlooking

What is "palliative care"?
Hi all, Charlotte from Leukaemia Care here. I'm doing a bit of research on palliative care and I was surprised at what I found (I won't explain why as it may spoil the point of this question!) So I'm curious. Without googling or looking it up in any other way, would you all mind telling me what do

My dad fought to the end 💔
Yesterday, November 20th, Heaven gained an angel and we lost the most precious, loving, strongest, most irreplaceable man in my and my mom’s life. I am drowning in a sea of emotions. Am I angry? Yes. Am I sad? That doesn’t even begin to describe it. The blessing is we were with him at the hospital

LCHF Vs Long/Emmer Wheat

Update on my dad
So I’m not sure what happened to my other post but since a few are still asking I wanted to do an update again. I wrote in the last one that my dad was intubated on a breathing machine and moved to CCU. Yesterday I promised my dad that tube would be coming out. I didn’t know how or when but I knew it
