secondary cancer
Has anyone been diagnosed with bone marrow cancer as well as prostate cancer? My husband is getting ready to have a bone marrow biopsy to see if that is what is going on. I have read that chemo and radiation can lead to bone cancersš

Full circle with metastatic prostate cancer
I have gone full circle with my disease. Diagnosed at 52 in 2017 with PSA 100. 6 years later PSA is back to 100 with new spread of mets though out skeleton. I have done all the SOC treatments and changed diet. The cancer has found a way around it all. I have continued working through out but now I have

Has anyone experience of weekly rather than 3 weekly chemo sessions?
I have been diagnosed with Stage 3C ovarian cancer, after finding a smallish lump in my tum in July, which is now considerably larger (20cm). A ct scan showed abnormalites in several places, and this was followed by a laparoscopy to see the extent. I was told that I would be having 3 rounds of chemo

Newly diagnosed seeking advice on surgical options
Hi, Recently diagnosed with S3 Ovarian Cancer and have been given a choice of primary debulking surgery followed by 6 rounds of chemo or interval debulking with the surgery in the middle of 6 rounds. Worried that PDS is more risky/ radical although Iāve been told that it wouldnāt be. Any advice/ experience

Reducing or Eliminating Alcohol
Those with CLL are more prone to secondary cancers. This article is from "Cure" magazine: https://www.curetoday.com/ Cancer survivors who consume alcohol may experience worse outcomes, as alcohol usage can interfere with treatment results.

Do I still say I have cancer?
I had the upper left lobe of my lung (that's a mouthful) removed in February. The tumour was crimping a pulmonary artery and when examining the removed bit it was shown to have active cancer cells - they couldn't remove the lobe cleanly enough without nicking the artery so I was told. Consequently

PSA still low but cancer progressing
I've been on ADT plus Xtandi for about a year (see my profile) and my PSA has steadily reduced and stayed low. However, my latest CT scan shows that the tumours on my bones and lymph nodes are increasing in size and there are now a few small lesions appearing in my liver for the first time. Not the news

Hydroxyurea vs Besremi
Which drug is considered less toxic on the body - hydroxyurea or besremi? My MPN specialist put me on hydroxyurea a few years ago with the plan to switch over to besremi in a couple of months. I did get insurance approval for the besremi a long time ago but I've been hesitant to make the switch. At

update on Azacitidine
Iām sure my local haematologist is thinking ābe careful what you wish forā. In recent communications with Claire Harrison she tells me that the the fourth cycle is supposed to be the turning point when your body starts to adjust to the drug. I hope she is right as Iāve just finished the 4th cycle and
