Phase 1 trial participation Nurix NX-1607
I have not been on any treatment since I stopped Docetaxel chemo last year except Prostap injections every 12 weeks. My PSA went up from ~9 to 20 from May to September. I have just been invited to take part in a phase 1a safety and tolerability study of NX-1607. It aims to inhibit CBL-B (Casitas B-lineage

Finished Venetoclax, then Covid
My doctor prescribed Venetoclax after two rounds of chemo/immuno infusions to fight CLL. I felt great! Swimming half a mile, felt strong. Then bronchitis, pneumonia, and Covid. Was hospitalized and released in 6 days. But my home convalescence is not what I expected. Weakness, coughing, general severe

Should I be worried?
Hi All, my Haemo Lady, just called me with my Bone Marrow Biopsy results, She, said they were heavily infiltrated with CLL. A recent body scan also showed a large lump in my stomach, she is not sure if it is related to my CLL, or perhaps an aggressive lymphoma. She has ordered a needle biopsy of this

GBM and Keto Diet - Urgent
My brother was diagnosed with GBM (grade IV) in May 2023. I wonder, please, if any of you know about the Keto Diet and how effective it might be in treating GBM. He has had CV (Awake Craniotomy), followed by chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Thank you

Update on neuroendocerine prostate cancer mets to liver.
As mentioned previously my husbands prostate cancer has now metastasised to his liver. He also has bone mets. He had 6 cycles of Etoposide and Carboplatin. This combination of chemo worked very well. As we are looking at getting Pluvicto for his bone mets we also organised an FDG scan. (As advised on

Curiosity: ChatGPT and my PET scan
Ok, take it as a curious/fun thing to ask chat gpt, not as a real medical consult. I have given my PET scan results (in Italian) to chat gpt, to see if they were in line with my oncologist's opinion. I asked it to read the results and tell me if they were very negative, negative, neutral, positive or

Treatment and Prevention Strategies for Cognitive Function in PCa

Allergy to heparin
I have had a port for over three years now. I have had no issues at all with it until yesterday. I had bloods done and it was accessed as usual , but when the nurse put in the heparin lock I had an acute allergic reaction. It was almost instantaneous. I got a terrible fright as I felt I was burning up

Carbo/caelyx 2nd line
Hi all, I am about to start my 2nd line of chemo, carbo/caelyx, having done carbo/taxol/avastin first time round. I was hoping to just get to immunotherapy tbh but it looks like you need to do at least 2 series of chemo first to be eligible... so, anyone else had a similar treatment plan? Did it

Best friend has cancer
My best friend has stage 4 colon cancer, and we are on opposite sides of the country. I'm so worried for him and upset, and the oncologist says he can't have chemo until he heals from his recent surgeries. I'm almost completely gutted with concern for my friend. Any support or insight would be appreciated

Good news
Hello ladies, My mother was diagnosed with OC stage 4a in December 2019 ( her story is in my bio.) After a debulking surgery, pleural infusion drainage, and chemo, she started taking Olaparib and the disease has been stable since. I just wanted to share the good news with you, as she had a PET scan
