Bone pain, what next?
For over 2 years my scans show no radiographic progression despite a rising PSA, now at 43. However I am now experiencing periodic bone pain in the left hip area, mainly when I climb stairs. Tolerable but a worrying development. Even with lack of visible progression I think we need to change something

Second Line Hormonal
I am still only receiving Zoladex injections every three months. I did try Abiraterone 2022/2023 and it failed after a few months. I have been trying to get my Oncologist to prescribe Enzalutamide. I have been treated with docetaxel again and thought it might re-sensitize me for another hormonal drug

Spot Radiation before Pluvicto?
Haven’t posted for a while about Mr. Spouse21 until I had some data as his PSA began to tick up a few months ago. Last week a PET FDG confirmed recent bone and CT scans. Summary of main results:
Multiple tracer avid osseous metastases. Most prominent involving right margin of T12.

Feeling like Chemo is too Hard
Hi. I was diagnosed 3B HG in August 2018, had surgery, frontline, first recurrence ( carbo and caelyx/doxil), 3 years of Olaparib, one year on nothing and now am having carboplatin alone for second recurrence. My oncologist said this would be relatively easy. Also I haven’t had some of the worst complications

Is it needed and safe for my mom to supplement with folate or B12?
Hi all! I haven't posted before but I've been reading for a few months and find everything really helpful. My mom has had both chemotherapy and radiation this last year, and now has many overlapping symptoms with b12 and folate deficiencies (fatigue, mild neuropathy for years, mild memory loss/confusion

Anecdotal, but running could boost immunity

Chemo Update March 27, 2024
I was treated with 6 rounds of docetaxel in 2017/2018 when I was HSPC and I responded exceptionally well. I have been CRPC since 2022 and have tried abiraterone and Radium 223 (Xofigo). I just completed 7 rounds of docetaxel again and PSA went from 105 to 3.1 after 4 rounds then started doubling. Now

Pluvicto Question
Hi Fellow Warriors! Six months of Taxotere failed miserably. After 8 rounds, I was done. After chemo, my second PSMA-PET showed additional bone mets and a spread to the lymph nodes. My MO told me I was a good candidate for Pluvicto, so, three months after finishing Taxotere, I started that therapy

How long for hair (lashes/brows) to grow after nab Paclitaxel (Abraxane)?
Hi all, apologies if this question has been asked in the past. It's now 4 weeks from my 6th and last chemo (carboplatin and nab paclitaxel). I used the cold cap but it didn't exactly work on the crown of my head. I now have "some" hair on the scalp, honestly almost enough for me not to be embarrassed
