Questions After SBRT Treatment
Hello Everyone, MO told me to do Pluvicto After SBRT Treatment 2nd MO told me to do Chemo after the SBRT Treatment, so I am glad I did not go to the third MO, lol. What's the best thing to do after SBRT? My choice is PROVENGE. It also looks tricky to convince MO.

hello, My mum sent me this information with the hopes that I can find support and information as I’m starting out my journey. I had been having irregular periods and lower back pain for a few months. I would take medication and just push on. In December, I had such severe pain I called my husband

Scan shows spreading despite chemo but surgery going ahead..confused 🤔
Hello alI I have stage 4 clear cell carcinoma, had a scan this week and got the results today. My gynae nurse said she could only tell me what was written on a scrap bit of paper which left me with more questions than answers (not impressed with this). I will call again next week but meantime wondered

Hi ladies So….. I had my scan results from 23rd December yesterday . I was told by Onc nurse that the cancer was stable ( it is inoperable) My CA125 at diagnosis back in March 23 was 9000 but during chemo treatment there was a steady decline and prior to the scan it stood at 2000. I don’t understand

Fear of Cancer Recurrence
Hello, I am currently suffer from extreme health anxiety over the fear that my skin cancer will reoccur. I have had three small spots of skin cancer removed in the last year and at 45 I’m terrified that I won’t live much longer. None of them have been melanoma, so that is a little good news. And

Any insight into # platinum chemo cycles?
So I'm about to start cisplatinum + etoposide chemo cycles on wed. next week for NECP/SCCP. The first irritant I have of which I'm sure will not be the only one is: I have no idea what the treatment plan is, I don't know how many cycles I'm scheduled for and what the treatment goal is. Researching

Have you experience of Chemotherapy and underactive thyroid?
I have recently completed chemo following surgery for a bowel tumour. I was wondering if anyone has experience of chemotherapy and underactive thyroid? I have continued to take 75 T4 and 20 T3. It’s difficult to know if the fatigue / sleep problems are to do with the thyroid or chemo. many thanks.

Anemia
I've been dealing with anemia since I was on Xeloda which stopped working. The next chemo my onc tried was the worst and I spent most of January sitting in a chair, because all the side effects made my anemia a lot worse. I stopped the last chemo, but I'm still dealing with the anemia. Has anyone

Xeloda Anxiety
I was supposed to begin Xeloda today. For some reason, I am paranoid. First, I'm thinking my dose is too high. I weigh 168 pounds, 5’4” and my team has me scheduled to take 2000 mg twice a day. I think that’s a lot. Anyone else similar in size to me taking this high of a dose? Am I just paranoid. I

Feel so ill with 3rd chemo round 😫
I am feeling really sorry for myself I'm going to be honest, this is so tough. 3rd round was 6 days ago, and I don't know what to do with myself. I feel low & tearful. I don't know what to eat or drink, go from hot to freezing cold & every part of me hurts. Just want to feel better 🙏

For the last 60 years I have been a vigilant weight watcher, daily exerciser and have watched my calorie intake. When I commenced treatment for my Essential Thrombocytosis in January 2021, my weight was 53.5kg. Three years later this has ballooned to 60.3kg, despite my efforts to control any
