I had my BMB yesterday and it all went well 👍🏻
I thought I’d share that the whole procedure went well. I had a twilight sedation. I felt no pain. They explained to me that I would feel the anesthetic needle sting and pain for about 30 seconds. I only felt the first insertion prick and nothing more. Also they said that the bone cannot be numbed

Joint pain.
Does anyone have a suggestion for joint pain? My husband has had prostate removed 2017, on Xtandi for 15 months, then Chemo, now on his 2nd cycle out of 6 of Radium 223. He has about once a week, severe joint pain in his knee. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Tall Allen, look forward to hearing

After 8 years of seeing an endocrinologist, diagnosed with autoimmune thyroiditis but with no treatment offered because my blood tests were always deemed normal, I had a huge shock last year when I was undergoing surgery for breast cancer. I have had a very large multinodular goitre all this time and

chemo
I have been told to strongly consider
Chemotherapy
both
Intravenous
and oral: oxaliplatin and cepecitabine. I am looking for anyone who has had this chemotherapy and any feedback (I understand everyone reacts differently) as I am scared and don’t know anyone who has.

Many of us are aware of the risk of tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) when we commence treatment, particularly with venetoclax and that the purpose of the venetoclax ramp-up, is to reduce the risk of TLS occurring. TLS can also occur with other CLL treatments, especially when they are fast acting, rapidly killing

A New Direction
After seven years of fighting this disease with chemo, radiation, ADT, and abiraterone, I suffer from fatigue, nerve damage and paralysis and nerve pain in my left foot from radiation treatment, as well as depression, and a constant feeling of uncertainty. However, I am now free to let go of the life
