Being Told You Have Osteo .... But Cancer...
Being told I have osteo makes me fear life and old age. It is devastating to say the least. But let me tell you this... being told I have cervical cancer and I am just beginning my fight never made me feel more alive. All the "stuff" just falls away and the value of life never so strong. I am now

Working while receiving Docetaxel
Does anyone have experience in working while receiving Docetaxel? Also, what was your experience with hair loss, fatigue etc.? Any long term survivors after doing this treatment? Thanks, trying to get some answers because pretty anxious at this point when chemo may be my next best option.

Delay starting hydrea for vaccines?
Unfortunately, this question came to me after I saw the doctor. A month ago, I was referred to a hematologist for abdominal pain, abnormal CBC and splenomegaly. This week, after finding JAK2 and a confirmatory bone marrow analysis, the doctor prescribed 500mg HU per day for PV and scheduled a return

PSA raise
Hello once again. My father completed 6 courses of docetaxel chemotherapy (last one on 23/05/2023) and he is getting Zoladex injections every 3 months. Last PSA result was 0.89 (14/07/2023). But as he was getting better and the effects of chemotherapy (mainly neuropathy) were subsiding, the PSA test

Milk thistle: it gives me headache (figuratively)
Hi warriors! Since I am doing chemo and chemo impacts on the liver (not only of course), I thought it would be a good idea to help my liver with Milk thistle extract (silymarin), once per day 240mg. I had two chemo sessions and luckily between the two sessions both my white cells count and liver functionalities

went off Xgeva for a year, have to go back on it. Ideas or tips helpful
Hi, the short version is I’ve been dealing w stage 4 MBC since 2019/ 2020 with mets to the bones since 2020, including a thoracic spinal fracture which led to a spinal fusion. I was put on Xgeva for a couple of years and later read on Xgeva’s website that being on it long term is likely to increase

Update
Just got my blood test results: Testo less 0.1 ng/ML and PSA still undetectable. Tomorrow I’ll receive my next 3-month Lupron shot, which will finalize my 24-month ADT after prostate bed and whole pelvic radiation. In the meantime I also had lymphoma and received four R-CHOP chemo cycles, two cycles

Long time reader / first time poster…
Hello all, Been on here for quite some time reading about other men’s stories but have yet to get in the trenches until now. Not sure why; maybe just reluctance to accept my situation, even though my “situation” has fully accepted me. It’s been a bumpy road. PSA 12.5 at diagnosis 11/2019. Been checking

My husband was diagnosed in Jul 2021 PSA 41 at the time, multiple mets in bones. n1b and m1b Gleason 4+3=7. I've been reading and trying to get as much info as possible from this website. Last Oct PSA shot up to 19. Xtandi started and he also gets the 3monthly Prostap injections. PSA went back down

Preparation for Chemo Second Time

Liver detox after chemo?
I am starting Taxotere next week and received some advice from a friend fighting serious colon cancer. He told me how he detoxed his liver after each cycle. He used TUDCA Bile salts and PectaSol from ECONugenics Company. https://econugenics.com/collections/pectasol?Wickedsource=Microsoft&Wickedid

health spa
As the end of my chemo radiation is in sight I have been wondering about treating myself to a break at some sort of health retreat or spa that includes helping cancer patients. Just wondering if anyone has any experience or recommendations? It would be nice to have something pleasant to look forward
