Struggling a bit
Hi, I was diagnosed in July with 1C Mucinous OC with a few clear cells also found. It was a bit of a shock diagnosis (for consultant as well) as after bloods and MRI etc, nothing appeared sinister. The original affected ovary was only found by chance (random unrelated question to GP and no symptoms

Mucousitis or Chemo Mouth! Ugh!
Yep, got it! Sorry but I feel like 💩! Started Affinitor a little over a week ago along with Faslodex and woke up two days ago with the worst tongue and cheek (haha) pain ever. Swelling. A lesion! I feel as if little knives are cutting inside my mouth. Difficult to talk or eat. As anxious as I get I

HU wait time to take effect
Hi good folks! In your experiences, how long does one wait for the chemo (hydroxyurea) to significantly lower the platelets? 74 y/o male with ET/jac2. I started 500mg 2X/day 8 days ago. Had blood work done yesterday and down from 664 to 579. If the threshold is 430, then I have a long way to go. I

Latest Update to Here We Go Again
Underwent the "simple mastectomy" on Nov 1 on the right side. This is my third breast cancer surgery and sixth primary cancer overall. I was so discouraged to have cancer again and did not want the surgery, but it was the only rational option. Already have had so much radiation to the chest (lung cancer

thank you
I joined this forum back in March after my mother was told she needed to have chemotherapy for a second time. Everyone was so supportive and I just wanted to say a big thank you to you all. My mother died on 27th September, a month after her final chemotherapy session and a week after being told that

Experiences of Clatterbridge cancer center, Wirral
Hi all, Mum was diagnosed with stage 3c high grade serous ovarian cancer at the beginning of the year. She has responded well to first line treatment and surgery through the Marsden in Chelsea and is now on maintenance Niraparib. We are now facing a house move up to the Northwest and are looking

Opinion?
Newly diagnosed, Gleason 9, PSA about 40 at biopsy, aggressive, PET shows low burden, two bone mets. At my age 82, although health "very good", Onc wants to avoid chemo. Just started on Casodex and will add Lupron, until PSA under control then add (switch to?) Zytiga and radiation to clean up prostate

4th surgery
Hernia and post Ovarian surgery. Hi everyone, I had Ovarian cancer surgery Aug 2019 which included the bowel being scraped, the tumour had attached itself to the bowel, followed by 6 rounds of chemo. Easter 2019 had a bowel blockage, it cleared with fasting and intravenous fluids. Another blockage

Pluvicto and PSA
My husband’s first dose of Pluvicto was 8/11/22. His PSA at that time was 2.29. His scans were 3/3 PSMA expression score, with more disease than just a month earlier PSMA scan. His second dose was 9/27. His PSA has been steadily climbing and today it is 6.13. He feels great. The best he has felt in

Update.
Morning ladies, it's been a while since I posted, last time I was in a really bad place , I'm stronger mentally but not great physically. I'm not long home from hospital, where they drained off 6.2 litres of asitis fluid, thank goodness my Macmillan nurse stepped in and got me admitted, GP was treating

Wa-ah!
I can't say I really enjoyed my appointment with my oncologist yesterday. I am to continue with my current medication, enzalutamide, though at a stronger dose> I am to take morphine to counteract the worst side effect, muscle pain. This will also help with the ache I have in my pelvis, where I had

I feel like crap and my 5th sense?
I don’t know what to do anymore my anxiety is sooooo bad literally I feel it through me. My klonopin really doesn’t do much it’s hit or miss if it will work or make me feel worse most times makes me feel worse. Had to call 911 for my mom again last night she fell twice she’s in the hospital for a couple

Pill to end life
I do have a big concern. I was told by my doctors and also palliative care, that there is a pill to take to end your life. My doctors won’t give to me without chemo and radiation, however. I think it’s important to be able to have one as soon as possible. If I have a stroke or other disturbing effects

Ano regrets?
I was diagnosed with cll earlier this year,with bizarrely high wbc,but still really enjoy an active life. I'm reluctant to take treatment as it seems to actually cause the symptoms of cll which I don't at present have.I am anaemic, and taking any drugs apparently makes it worse, so I'm reluctant
