waterproof PICC covers
hello. I’m new on here. I’ve just finished my chemo and am hoping to go swimming again. I still have a PICC line in for my regular Avastin and would like a completely waterproof cover for it. Does anyone have any recommendations?

More decisions - Avastin, Niraparib or Letrozole
My Mum, who has done 6 rounds of chemo, 2 with Avastin, has just been told she still doesn't present as suitable for surgery. We have mixed emotions about this as she is in her early 80s, although previously very fit and healthy. She has been given 3 options to try to keep things at bay before possibly

Hi every one I took 6 rounds of docetaxel in 2020 and my PSA went from 60 to 0.5 After my first round of cabazitaxel, my PSA goes from 110 to 145 Was it wrong to change the chemotherapy ? After on round, can we say cabazitaxel is not working? Thank you for your help

Intrusive thoughts
I finished my series chemo (first time I've had it) almost a year ago. Great news! But, I have to go for 3monthly checks and am finding it really difficult to forget about cancer. I get lots of intrusive thoughts about it. I'm about to have a second series of counselling, just wondered what anyone else

Chemo vs Pluvicto study
My friend is going to be in a trial comparing Pluvicto to Docetaxel. My question is why? Docetaxel has been around for so long that I would think they have all the info on it. PFS as well as OS. As well, the study was announced in 2021 so why are they still recruiting?

My mother's good news
Hello ladies, Once again, I wanted to share the good news with you because I know how important it is to see positive stories and examples. Today we got my mother's PET results (her last PET scan was in September 2022) and they showed stable disease. She will continue taking Olaparib. We are beyond
