Post Xeloda Options…Enobosarm?
Hi everyone, unfortunately my wife’s tumor markers have exponentially increased over the last 3 months so after 8 months of Xeloda we will need to make a treatment change soon. We’re currently contemplating the following options: Exemestane This is most commonly given in conjunction with Afinitor at

After Abiterone stops working, would Darolutamide be an option?
my brother has stage 4 prostate cancer. He responded well to Abiterone for 20 months and it recently stopped. The doctor is wanting him to start Docetaxel chemo and I know it has terrible side effects. I read somewhere that trying Daralutamide msg be an option. Has anyone tried this? Also, what is the

Other than Chemo, what other treatments for PCA is a port used for?
I'm considering having my port removed. I can always have another placed if needed, right? Update, ago Well darn. Went for flush and psa draw and they couldn't draw any blood. They said they can still administer meds, but the blood had to be drawn from my arm. Planning on calling surgeon on Monday.

Docetaxel guideline for Prostate cancer
Dear friends, My father’s Onco had given just 5 days prednisolone 5 mg twice a day after the day of chemo and dexamethasone 8 mg intravenous the day of chemo. Unfortunately, I have lost my dear, sweet heart father 3 months after the last chemo (8 sessions). My father PSA was only 157. It is so devastating

Parps
I found out yesterday I am BRAC negative. I was diagnosed with Stage 2b High Grade Serous Carcinoma in July, finished chemo last month. My cancer nurse mentioned that I might need to go on parp inhibitors, she would talk to my oncologist. I have no experience of parps. Do parps slow down/stop the return

worry about the future with stage 4 cancer and RLS and ILMD
I have been following this website for about nine months and wanting to give up Ropinerole but have put off doing it as I have been undergoing treatment for cancer I.e. surgery and radiotherapy. I thought once that was over I would be able to get an appointment with a London clinic to support me through

Low WBC at 7 weeks after final chemo - anyone experience this?
I'm on Lupron (since May, 2022) and finished my 6th round of chemo (docetaxel) about 7 weeks ago. Got Neulasta the day after each round and counts came back nicely, except after the last (6th). One week after last chemo, my WBC was 3.1. Since then it has been bouncing around between 1.7 and 2.8; yesterday

Perhaps you have

Timing of scans?
How often are people having scans after chemo? I last had a scan in August 22 when I finished front line chemo. I have since started maintenance then stopped to have a lymph node removed and restarted again. I was of the understanding I would get one every 3 months for at least a year but this doesn't
