Lung cancer

not saying that it does not work, in fact for some patients it is simply fantastic, but still...they have damaged their reputation with patients https://www.nature.com/articles/s44276-024-00065-7 The PSMAfore and VISION trials for Lutetium-177 PSMA-617 in prostate cancer exhibit design flaws that bias

I have had IBS(D) for more than 40 years which has gradually got worse over the years , more pain all over my abdomen radiating under right and left ribs ! I have had cat scans ,colonoscopies and blood tests over the years all normal ; I notice in the last few years my hair is getting thinner and

I just updated my Bio and just received my PSMA Gallium scan results. Appointment is tomorrow to review but from what I see even with a low PSA of 0.052 a lymph node lit up which is rare. Is this correct and given this my guess SOC is whole pelvic adjuvant radiation and higher dose to lymph nodes or?

15 years ago my husband had 43 radiation treatments after PSA reached 50 & his 3rd biopsy showed 1 core to have cancer., Gleason was 3-3. He has had Lupron injections since then. He was on 250mg of Zytiga with food and 5 mg Prednisone for 3 years until a year ago because PSA was creeping up & he was

Dear community, I wanted to post a message to this forum to ask for advice for my mum who has recently been diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. Her biopsy is still being tested to determine the exact subtype. Doctors could not see anything un the breast and took a biopsy was taken from one of

Hi Everyone, Well, that dripping tap must have got me, finally!! No symptoms but a routine Rheumy appt preceded by the usual blood tests revealed that my CRP is over 100 😱 and my ESR is 80 something. But I feel no pain, except for the usual little niggles that I thought came with being nearly 70.

We met with my Dad's MO yesterday. (Diagnosed 10/22 with advanced metastatic cancer, became castrate resistant about a year ago.)   He shared that the Xtandi is still blocking some cancer growth, but not all of it. His PSA is 2.8 (currently doubling every four weeks.)  His PetScan shows some growth (

hello I have been living with ALK positive lung cancer for 6 and half years. I had surgery at the beginning to remove a 7cm tumour from the bottom of my right lung this was followed by chemo. Reoccurrence a year later I was given Ceritinib which completely cleared my lungs of over 17 tumours.

To update my journey, diagnosed on Oct. 2023 with pc, psa of 24.6. PSMA scan showed one met to sacrum, everything else clear. Did 28 rounds radiation and am currently on Lupron and Xtandi. Urologist yesterday said Lupron for one year then off and watch PSA with new PSMA scan also. Medical oncologist

That’s from an MRI taken six weeks after 10 sessions of IMRT were completed for a surgically inoperable metastasis in my skull. Apparently this means the contrast agent shows increased blood flow or activity in the tumor. Does that sound normal to still have increased blood flow or activity six weeks

Good morning fellow warriors. My docetaxel adventure was without side effects but gave an ineffective response. The cabazitaxel/carboplatin combo was effective but brutal in its attack on my immune system. Having had no treatment at all while my body tries to recover, I'm currently being considered by

Hey everybody happy Sunday 😇I have a biopsy the 26th and I'm deadly afraid doctor said there was skin cancer it's everywhere the lesions are getting worse by the day... The pain of the lesions is getting very bad can't even touch them I was just wondering how are you all handling or do you have pain

My HB and Platelets have been bad for a while. Mainly because I haven' eaten anything. I am now eating again and feel much better (I had other reasons), but she has ordered me back for new blood tests and wants me to change to Xeloda. I want a chance to get my appetite back up and eating normally before

so, here’s where we are… My Joe has been experiencing increasing pain in his left hip and thigh. Today he said the thigh is numb. PET scan scheduled this coming Tuesday. He thinks it’s a hairline fracture. Is it wrong of me to hope he’s right, vs his cancer having landed there? He’s 4 months post-Pluvicto

59 years old. Metastatic/high volume. PSA hit 366 before starting Abiraterone and Degarelix. Start Lupron next week. Negative on DNA test. Will see what PSA looks like next week after a month of ADT. My question chemo, no chemo or wait on chemo? Onco and Rad Onco both seemed to have a very soft attitude

My Dad’s PSA started increasing 2.5 years after diagnosis. It was 0.008 in December, 0.024 at the beginning of March and 0.029 on yesterday. Please advise. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. He is still taking Lupron, Abiraterone and Prednisone 10 mg that were started back in September of 2021.

anyone ever have a really sweet sugary taste after docetaxel. after the first 2 my taste went back to normal after about 7 days but the only problem i had was with spicy foods. after my 3rd round i have a super sweet sugary taste all the time for 16 days now. i have a hard time eating because almost

When I began the Stampede protocol 1 1/2 yrs ago, it was my understanding that two years of Zytiga/Prednisone and three years of Lupon with radiation to the pelvic area at the 7 mo - 1 yr mark gave a chance for a "cure" under my conditions (3+4 gleason, etc). Now, my non-medical view of things is convincing

After radiation to prostate bed and to one pelvic metastasis, I was on xtandi and Lupton for three years and now have been on "vacation " for a year with PSA of 0.02 and testosterone at 4. No meds at all for last11 months!Had a heart attack in May '23 (which I attribute to covid shots) , doctors told

astra-something buys a Canadian company because they hate Canadians...no, sorry...ok, I will sound like a financial advisor, but here it is: Astra-something has been working on other approaches to develop more targeted cancer treatments, including antibody-drug conjugates and RCs.
