Back pain
Hi I have for several months a good deal of back pain also radiating down the top half of both legs. I have prostate Mets in these areas but I am beginning to wonder if this pain which is similar to sciatica could be caused by something other than the mets. Any comment’s appreciated. My consultant hasn

Acute Liver Failure Diagnosis
On Tuesday, I finally received the long awaited Truqap. I was told to hold off beginning treatment and to bring the medicine to the oncologist's off on Thursday. The oncologist took one look at me and dropped her jaw in awe of my yellow skin color, which I could not see, then shipped me off to the

Princess of Wales
Many of you will have seen the Princess of Wales is having preventative chemotherapy for cancer. It must have been very difficult for her to speak about when still trying to digest the information herself. I rarely tell anyone I am suffering from a cancer, I usually say I have a bone marrow disease.

a new way to deliver platinum chemo works greatly in vivo
"The new type of chemotherapeutic drug PtNC@BSA-iRGD exhibits excellent antitumor activity in vitro/vivo, in comparison to clinical commercial first-line carboplatin.

Meeting with our oncologist for castrate resistance metastatic prostate cancer
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 (

Chemo or no/not yet?
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

UTI symptoms
Hi I am currently NED after finishing chemo in September (stage 3 ovarian cancer). Before diagnosis I was constantly complaining of UTI symptoms (needing to pee a lot and pain when peeing) which always came back negative.

Seeking anyone familiar with aggressive small cell neuroendocrine prostate cancer and/or with lurbinectedin as 2nd line chemotherapy.
A needle biopsy Oct 15, 2023 revealed that at least some of my metastatic prostate cancer in a lymph node had mutated to an aggressive small cell neuroendocrine prostate cancer. (notable for CDK N1B, RB1, Tp53 mutations. MSS, TMB low) I had 4 cycles of carboplatin/etoposide chemotherapy, which ended

Radiotherapy
I’ve just finished a 3 week course of Radiotherapy and I feel dreadful. I’ve been very sick and it feels like flu. I’m very tired and sleeping a lot. Complete loss of appetite. I didn’t find chemotherapy as bad as this. Has anyone else had this experience ?

Update and about to start Radiation
Hi all - just a summary so far. Have been doing the triplet and recently finished the 6 sessions of chemo. Had my CT and Bone scans and then follow up with MO on Friday. All is as we expect - nothing shown in CT. Bone scan shows no new "uptake" in the mets places and nothing new. PSA at .41. I am

HIPEC
Hello everyone, I was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in December, I’ve since had 3 cycles of chemo (to which I’ve had a good response) and will be having debulking surgery soon. My surgeon has said I am suitable for HIPEC. The treatment sounds quite intensive and I’m keen to hear from anyone

Still on hold for stem cell transplant
David has now completed 3 cycles of Vidaza. He had a bone marrow biopsy several weeks ago. At first we thought the results were good, that his cancer cells had been reduced sufficiently to proceed with transplant. After our local oncologist spoke to the transplant specialist at Mayo, we received word
