Hello there, I’ve been dealing with this since 1/2015. I’ve had brachytherapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, cyber knife, immunotherapy, more chemotherapy, now taking Everolimus and letrozole. I’ve always felt that this was a chronic disease after the medications stopped working onto the next regimen

I finished 6 cycles of carboplatin/paclitaxel at end Oct and it seemed to have really worked on the cancer that is in my liver and peritoneum so following advice of my oncologist I’ve had a break as I’ve been on chemo of some kind or other since Sept 21. After a scan and in Dec he talked about me having

T + Chemo?
Hi guys, This may be a dumb question but my understanding of chemo is that it is most effective when the cancer is growing rapidly. Would it be of any use to kick up the testosterone way high to get everything cooking, and then hit it hard with chemo? It's in my future of course, but I'm just curious

Docxtel triple therapy?
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. My dad--81, advanced metastatic castrate resistant Diagnosed at 79 with stage 4 met 8 bones, including skull, no Gleason, never even saw a urologist. Diagnosed in ER and sent straight to the oncologist and palliative care doctor. PSA initially at 137 Lupron

Elevated Liver Enzymes
Husband on Triplet Therapy Orgovyx, Nubeqa and Docetaxel for Stage IV GL9 with bone mets. First chemo cycle completed. Second chemo was canceled as his ALT numbers were very high (305). AST also elevated at 94. ALP is within normal range. MO is recommending holding off Nubeqa for a week and retest liver

At the crossroads (again)
My profile is up to date, but, briefly, have failed chemo, ADT (am castrate resistant), failed Keytruda and now Pluvicto. Scans yest. & today show progression along with PSA rise. All my mets are in bone. So, my SOC choices are cabazataxel or radium 223. Other options are trial, which are a crapshoot

I am to be admitted on Monday 4th March and have Hickman line put in on Tuesday 5th. Then

Triplet and now Radiation?
Hi all - just wanting your thoughts on this. In my profile you would see full details but I will summarize here. 50yr old diagnosed Aug 2nd with PCA with spread to L5 and pubic bone. Original PSA was around 9 and put on Casodex for month, then Lupron every 3 months, plus Darolutamide. Just completed

Carboplatin alternatives
I was diagnosed with Primary Peritoneal high grade serous cancer stage 3C in early 2021. I had 6 cycles of Carboplatin and Paclitaxel, radical surgery, two more chemo cycles then Niraparib for just over a year until it stopped working and my CA125 began to rise rapidly. Surgery was considered and

Break from chemo
I had my pre chemo oncologist appointment today. He wants me to take a break from chemo to give my body a a chance to recover and go back to see him in 6 weeks. I’ve had 3 rounds of chemo gem/carbo but missed 2 of gem on its own. Scan showed some reduction and stable disease. But I’ve been admitted to

question about going to Mayo
we have an appointment to see Dr Sartor at Mayo but my husband has read Dr Kwon helps refer patients out of the country for Actinium 225. We saw Dr Sartor when he was at Tulane. Will we be able to discuss Atinium w Dr Sartor or should we also try to see Dr Kwon? What’s the appropriate etiquette?

After 2 Nuclear Ligand treatments should I still have severe bone pain in my lower back?
My SO was diagnosed last year with stage 4 Prostate cancer. Although his PSA never went extremely high (8.0) his Gleason scores were two 8's and a 9. The cancer when diagnosed consumed his complete prostate and was found in the vertebras of his neck, shoulder and shoulder socket plus his pelvis and

What exactly does fasting mean?
I understand that fasting for a couple days before chemo and a day after can reduce side effects significantly. But what does fasting mean? Does it mean nothing at all to eat or drink (except water) during those days, or does it mean some kind of limited eating? Thanks.
