Im a BRCA2 positive and responded quite well to chemotherapy. My initial CA125 was around 3000 and it dropped to

Need advice before Monday doc appt!
Quick summary - my asymptomatic husband was diagnosed in June with metastatic prostate cancer from his pelvis to his lungs to the soft tissue in his brain. PSA 9 at the time. Lung biopsy and gene tests confirmed ordinary adenocarcinoma. He was immediately given Firmagon (which then moved to Lupron)

Update to Pluvicto Consult, and Question
My dad's PSMA scan lit up like a Christmas tree! 😂 excuse my dark humor to get through this... Anyway, he is a great candidate for Pluvicto! He meets with Radiation Oncologist on the 29th. The one downside is they have a supply shortage and he may not be able to start until end December-end Jan.

WBC down to 1.15, after 1st chemo
I had my first of six chemo treatments (Docetaxel + Carboplatin) on 11/10. Took my blood test yesterday. My White Blood Cell (WBC) count dropped to 1.15. My doctor’s office called and put me on Levofloxasin (500 mg/day for seven days). Is this normal, or alarming? What does it indicate is happening inside

ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE NUMBER HIGHER
Can Docetaxel chemo treatments cause the alkaline phosphatase number to rise? One month my husbands PSA rose and they said it was the cancer cells dying off.... and it went back down to 3.03. But this is the first time his Alkaline Phosphatase number has risen. Alkaline Phosphatase rose 80 points

White count lower 3 1/2 weeks after final chemo than 1 week after - WTF?
Had my 6th & final chemo (docetaxel) on Oct 24; one week later my WBC was 3.1. Previous 1 week post chemo white counts were in the 5 - 6 range. Been self injecting with Ziextenzo (bioequivalant to Neulasta) a day after each round. Not sure why didn't come back up at one week like previous rounds. What

Has anyone had all 6 cycles of Taxol/carboplatin before surgery?
My mom's care team is playing with the idea of doing all 6 chemo cycles before debulking surgery. She's finishing her 4th cycle tomorrow. Has anyone else had all 6 up front? Her growth has significantly shrunk and would be operable, according to them. So wondering why this is the care teams's new approach

Hair after chemo
I lost my hair with first line carbo/taxel, then after it came back it thinned on carbo/caelix and its never recovered. Last chemo was June 2021. Hair still very thin and limp. I used to have really thick strong hair. Is this usual or have some of you got your full crowning glory back

First appointment at MDAnderson—what to expect?
Hi ladies, my second line chemo only helped keep cancer at bay while I was receiving infusions. Four months after sixth and final infusion, OC roared back with a vengeance. I’m driving to MDAnderson in Houston next week for first appointment. I thought I would be there a few hours, but I read that

Pleasant PSA surprise
I’m on the triple therapy. Lupron, Chemo and Zytiga. Got a pleasant surprise today as my blood numbers are all within suggested ranges, testosterone less then 1 and PSA of 0.09. Besides the meds, I’m hoping that my vegan diet and exercising are helping. Except for hot flashes, which I can manage,

my hair is beginning to thin. I’ve been on this regimen for 8 months and I’m just beginning to notice more shedding. My question is, does the hair loss slow down at some point or will I continue to lose my hair until I no longer have hair? I’m starting to panic about it. I was bald the first time with
