My Cancer Reality Check
I am having one of those “I can’t believe I have cancer and I am having to go through all of this” moments!!!! Feeling a bit low with all of this chemotherapy stuff, more doctor visits, side effects, up and down 🎢 emotions!! You guys get me. Right? Sometimes it is hard to be strong and positive!

BAT Patient Guide
I was re-reading Dr. Denmeade's BAT Patient Guide (well worth checking out) and came across the following quote near the end. Thus far, Denmeade seems to have done his own, smaller trials. "A larger randomized study comparing overall patient survival following treatment with sequential BAT → Xtandi

Prostatectomy
I was scared to death to hear that I had cancer. My Father died from it. There was no offer for chemotherapy or radiation. I was told that my doctor needed more experience with the DaVinci robot and I was chosen. I died that day and was traumatized beyond traumatized and purposely given ecoli and regretted

Chemotherapy or Pluvicto
I just completed Radium 223 treatment. PSA has been doubling since I failed Zytiga. Last scans show progression. I am offered chemo or a trial with Pluvicto. The cancer is throughout my bones. What should I do. I have had chemo at the beginning of this journey and it worked then.

I’m not young, I’m older. I compare myself to others my age. So active. Don’t get sciatica and fatigue after walking 1000 steps like I do. My son in law said I’m not productive. But I am happy with the little quiet niche I carved out for myself. I survived stage 3 cancer- surgery, chemo, radiation,

Might blood be good news?
I'm now getting ready for my 3rd Docetaxel infusion. My symptoms and side effects have been very mild. Before chemo started, I was getting pains in the rectal wall, sharp bladder discomfort and pain on urination - along with blood in the urine. As of today, I'm waiting for definitive results from

Trying to get to retirement before HT
Hi All, I'm currently 65 years old. My PSA level before the biopsy was 8.1, and my Gleason Score was 4+4. Fortunately, there are no signs of metastases. Although my treatment hasn't started yet, it's likely that I'll begin radiation therapy in early December. I'm currently overseas and won't return

So far, Hifas da Terra has shown mushroom formulas to complement chemotherapy and radiation therapy by countering the side- effects of cancer, such as nausea, bone marrow suppression, anaemia, and lowered resistance, as well as enhancing the effectiveness of the conventional treatment. The current

Brother's numbers since ADT plus Orchiectomey since diagnosed in February
Hi folks. I've been reading daily posts here since February when my brother was diagnosed with metastatic PC in February after a reading of 367.8 PSA. Thanks for all the good information! Cancer is in his skull, ribs, lymth nodes, and spine. He had one ADT injection right away and opted for an Orchiectomey

Hello
I was first diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer in 2001 I had a mastectomy with reconstructive surgery followed by chemo and radiation. Following that I was put on Tamoxifen Arimidex and Taxol. After being off for 5 years last year in 2022 I was diagnosed in the other breast with cancer. I had surgery

Castration resistant in just a year? Normal or not? Provenge in my future.
I'm already "mildly symptomatic castration resistant." PSA tripled in the last 30 days (but still extremely low), after doubling in the prior 3 months. I was diagnosed with stage 4b (mets in multiple bones and nodes) ductal and started ADT 13 months ago. Nubeqa and Docetaxel (Triplet therapy) started
