Pre-approvals under Medicare
I have regular Medicare plus a supplement and Part D. I'm just starting to research this, but figured many of you have already dealt with this issue. Does Medicare (not Medicare Advantage) do pre-approvals for things like Provenge, chemo, PSMA PET scan, etc.? None of my medical institutions seem to seek

Restless Legs
Hi all - curious if any of you are experiencing pretty intense restless legs? I am a triplet therapy patient and am through the chemo and radiation (maybe quad therapy:)) so wondering if somehow Darolutamide is contributing to this? I also take a statin, a reflux pill, vitamin D, flomax, and cialis

Hello beautiful ladies, My mum has been living with ovarian cancer since 2020. After debulking surgery and many treatments, her cancer was declared platinum-resistant.

Mom's ovarian cancer spread to brain
Hi all,My mom was diagnosed with 3c ovarian cancer 2 years ago. It was inoperable and she has had 6-7 lines of chemo, most recently Enhertu. After the first 2 cycles, her Ca125 dropped drastically and then increased after her 4th. We found out this week that her cancer has likely spread to her brain.

Chicken feathers to deliver chemotherapy drugs and repair enzymes
Now, I did not know that cancer drugs were so unsustainable but... "As proline and collagen are widely available and don’t rely on chains of hydrocarbons like previous methods, the team hope to sustainably scale up their current production in the lab." https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1046102

continuing the journey
I just had my 3rd round of Chemotherapy ( O CHOP). Doing pretty well, will see 2nd week is usually the hardest. My oncologist was very pleased with how I have responded (ei. Platelets 357 from 1st chemo 10).I also had a port put in my chest last week for easier access for infusion iOS and blood work.

Struggling Financially with Leukaemia?
