Caregiver checkup
I ran across this Caregiver checkup on a Palliative Care site and thought I'd share it with the group. Sometimes I use tools like this as a scheduled self check up once a month as a way of checking in on how I'm doing, and if I'm coping worse, I take steps. See what you think about this tool and if

Are You Missing These Steps to Health?
For at least the last 100 years or so many "experts" have had an incomplete understanding of what it takes to greatly improve insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Their advice? Reduce carbs as much as you can stand. It's just common sense, right? If you have too much glucose in your blood, stop eating

IMRT side effects?
After a one month trial on Firmagon, switched to Eligard. Good so far; better with latter than former. Supposed to start IMRT in a couple of wks. 25 sessions. Followed by brachytherapy. Reactions to these procedures? Dos? Don'ts. Short term side effects? Long term? I want to know what to expect

Hi We have just returned home from a most disappointing appointment with the oncologist. A quick reminder my husband was diagnosed in 2009 with locally advanced prostate cancer. Surgery to remove prostate was aborted due to lymph node involvement, started zoladex injections and had 39 fractions of radiotherapy

Antisynthetase syndrome
This was after going into respiratory failure and spend 7 weeks in
intensive
care
and many tests to diagnose the problem. Does anyone else suffer from this condition? would be great to have contact with someone. I am at the moment awaiting tests to see if I am a carrier.

Practical suggestions post EBRT and seeds
So, I know that radiation can knock one to the ground big time (continence, bowel, etc.). I start IMRT soon; followed by "booster" seeds shortly thereafter. To those of you who have been through this: what should I expect? what products have you used for continence and bowel "issues"? The thought

Really useful info from endo specialist *worth reading *
Hi ladies I have been doing lots of research recently and found this post by Dr Jeff Arrington, an endo specialist in America. I found it really helpful, so I thought I would share as I'm sure like me, there are many women here trying to figure out what to do... THE STANDARD OF CARE IS NOT SUFFICIENT

Leptomeningeal
The doctors today came in at the hospital and they are leaning towards leptomeningeal with my dad and I am crushed. That is the worst news I could have heard today. Please someone tell me this isn’t all bad! What do we do, where do we go if it is? I have to get his records to Moffitt quickly. It’s

Major issues on GemCarbo and losing weight
Hi Ladies, I was diagnosed in November 2015. I have done great until now. Eribulin was a cake walk, Ibrance and Faslodex I felt like i didn’t even have cancer. Even Taxol for 9 months was easy for me. Now I’ve had three cycles of Gemcarbo and I feel like I’m back when I was diagnosed. I vomit

LCHF Diet-- Are we eating the Healthy fats??
As a part of LCHF diet , we aim at eating 60-70% of our daily calories from Fat.

But LCHF practitioners also resort to consuming a lot of extra

ASTRO, ASCO, & AUA strongly endorse a shortened course of IMRT for primary therapy
They strongly endorsed moderate hypofractionation (20 or 26 treatments) but only conditionally endorsed SBRT because they didn't consider any data after 3/31/2017. I think SBRT will receive a strong endorsement by this time next year. There is no reason any patient should have to suffer through and pay
