ICON8 Trial
Hello lovely ladies, I have had the results of the ICON8 trial today. I thought I'd already heard them and let you all know but for those that don't know anything about it, it was a trial to see if giving carboplatin every three weeks and paclitaxel once a week for a total of eighteen weeks would be

Why ………..
My fit and healthy 48 year old husband sadly passed away on the 6th November 2022. It all began on the 3rd October 2022 when he coughed up some blood that morning whilst brushing his teeth. We got him an appointment that day to see our local GP who after a quick check of his chest was not overly concerned

Preliminary report on Psilocybin trip?
Today I did a guided Psilocybin trip. I followed all the pre-trip instructions and had a guide for 6 hours. A preprogrammed musical tape was played. So far I am underwhelmed with the results but who knows. I had the main "intention" of coming to grips with earlier death than I had previously planned

Bad reaction to Doxataxel
I had a bad reaction to Doxataxel that put me in the ICU. This my first experience with chemotherapy. I had a nuclear stress test 2 days before and was told by the MO and cardiologist that there would be no problems. The nuclear test results were all negative. The test was given to check for heart

When should you start taking Bisphosphonates, or bone strengthening medications.
I have been on continuous ADT since 2017 plus chemo and now Abiraterone with prednisone. The last year I have increased back and rib pain. The pain follows after I lift any heavy objects and usually at night when lying in bed. I defiantly have lost a lot of strength as well. I try and work out 3 times

First injection of Lu177-PNT2002 as part of SPLASH trial
I just received the first injection of Lu177 on 11/10/22. So far the side effects have not been bad. Fatigue has been the primary SE, along with headache. The fatigue is probably worse than what comes with ADT, but still very tolerable. There have luckily been no issues with nausea or diarrhea . Some

how long after Chemo finishes do we expect to get scans to see if treatment has worked? Also timescale after chemo will he get radiotherapy
hi all, my husband is currently on round 5 doctaxel and is wondering how long after his last round will it be before he gets scans? We have no indications of treatment working as his PC is non secretive PSA. His PSA was 3 when he was diagnosed with advanced PC and they said it will go down from there
