How to Starve Cancer
Good morning lovely ladies! I’m stage 3c oc, surgery last March and finished chemo in October. As I had such a terrible time with white cell count, I’ve opted not to have Niraparib. I’ve read this book and was impressed by the author’s journey. I think my diet is pretty good but am trying to cut out

PSA rising during triplet therapy. What to ask the oncologist?
Hello to this wonderfully helpful community, my dad's initial PSA was extremely high (3103), so I don't know what to expect. The treatment has been going for four months and a half since ADT (2 months and a half since Zytiga and Docetaxel was added). He started ADT on December, Zytiga and Docetaxel

Adding TurkeyTail (or other Mushrooms) to my current treatment
I'm a 70 year old, healthy person who has faced no major health issues (or addressed them quickly.) I'm retired and live alone. After pushing for PSA test, I had 6 in 6/22 and 20 in 8/22. Biopsy in 9/22 showed Gleason 4+5=9 and classified as stage 4. Bone scan and Cat showed small metastices in spine

Glutamine and RLS Does anyone have any info please?
Hi! Please help if you can. I just finished breast cancer chemo and have now developed peripheral neuropathy despite wearing ice on my hands and feet for two hours during treatment. My RLS was finally pretty under control because I went on Trazadone 50 mg. Still taking. .25 Mirapex and Lunesta. Now

Why do we stop treatment
I have to post my experience of having once stopped treatment. I see various posts here with guys asking about stopping their treatments. I started treatment when I was 52 years old. ADT, Chemo and radiation. After treatment PSA went to undetectable. After 2 years with undetectable PSA I thought I was

Struggling with Chemo cisplatin & epitoposide
I have reoccurrence stage4 high serous grade ovarian. It came back quite quickly. I am halfway through my 8 week chemo cycle which has been so harsh this time round. I am having cisplatin and epitoposide tablet. I was told my Ca125 was heading in the right direction a few weeks ago. After a week off

When to add Lynparza?
I completed six rounds of chemo (docetaxel + carboplatin) end of February. Bottom line from PSMA Pet scan in late March: some tumors reduced in size/intensity, others stayed the same, no new PCa evident. PSA remains undetectable. I’m on Lupron and Nubeqa. Genetic testing shows my cancer has the ATM mutation

Colorado QoL
Hey all you QoL posters smelling the flowers in California and Hawaii, we’re still enjoying winter here in Colorado! Every day I ski is the best day of my life! Being in the mountains makes my spirit soar, and communing with the trees and the snow and the wind makes me feel part of something timeless

Worrying study on long-term ADT (esp Enza)

ET/Jak2 postive
Hello! I was recently diagnosed with ET. I had not had bloodwork done in 15 years but just decided maybe I should and my platelets came back 600. They rechecked again 2 weeks later and they were 617. So, I was referred to a hematologist. After more bloodwork there, they found I was also Jak2 positive
