Verzenio
I have stage 3 lobular cancer. So far had surgery, radiation and currently on Letrozole. I am considered high risk. Did not do chemo because it is not always effective with lobular cancer. Oncologist wants to put me on Verzenio but I am reluctant due to side effects. I am 68 and a full time teacher and

Doxorubicin pegylated liposomal
Hello Thrivers I hope you are all going well.I had a bone biopsy last week, I can honestly say it was a horrible experience. One I hope never to repeat. I have now been diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer. My first diagnoses was er+pr+ her 2 negative. Mets to bones and liver last September.

Do Sulforaphane, Melatonin, and Cayenne Pepper work?
I've been a lurker for a while. First time post. I have had a radical prostatectomy, chemo (docetaxel - 6 infusions 3 weeks apart), radiation (38 doses) and Lupron (18 months). I am done with all treatment for now. PSA minimum was 0.02, now at 0.04. I've been reading a lot about sulforaphane (BROQ)

Those being treated with Eligard, Erleada and Docetaxel
Have been taking Eligard and Erleada, my Doctor wants to add Docetaxel Chemo. Would like to hear about others being treated the same way!

Researchers from WEHI and Trento University (Italy) have answered an age-old question: which function helps mutant p53 fuel tumour growth?
The study revealed that the
loss of function
in the mutated p53 protein is the critical factor in cancer growth, disproving the previously suggested gain-of-function role. Using CRISPR gene editing, the researchers removed various mutated forms of p53 and found no change in cancer cell behavior

Be Careful Out There (UK)
As temperatures fall in UK I listened to warnings about falls on ice and made a mental note. I have been trying to walk every day while on chemo (carbo/Caelyx for 3rd recurrence). i was about 200 metres from home yesterday when I looked down and realised the pavement which had looked fine was actually

continuing back pain
I was diagnose with 2b Ovarian Cancer in April 22. I had surgery and 6 rounds of Chemo. I have a very supportive team . I have had an MRI , CT and spinal x-ray all have shown degenerative changes to my spine. There is no evidence of recurrence. My CA125 is 13. The problem is I’m consumed with anxiety

What to do?
Hi All, At the end of August 2023 I completed 8 rounds of docetaxel. On 9/13/23 my PSA was 5.7, 10/30/23 8.25 and 11/27/23 it’s now 16.72. This year has been a shit show. I know my MO will put me on pluvicto. Here’s my quandary: I am a single gay man. Parents gone. No siblings. All I have to really

Sudden onset of severe leg pain
Yesterday my husband was strolling about the house as usual. Last night he experienced debilitating pain in his right thigh to the point he collapsed when trying to put weight on it, and then could not sleep because of the pain. He has needed a walker for even a few steps. We visited his PCP today

Neutropenic fever landed me in the hospital after 1st Taxotere infusion
3 days after my first infusion I woke up to a cruel new world. The neuropathy I had previously dealt with in my feet lit up like a Christmas tree and had spread to the whole of both legs. Walking was nearly impossible due to the numbness, crippling weakness in both legs, and horrible pain in my ankles

BAT trial update
I commenced the trial about 2 months ago and I have now had 2 cycles of treatment consisting of testosterone injections and carboplatin infusions. 5 days ago I had my first CT and bone scans and the trial leader tells me my 3 detectable rib metastases are 'stable'. The stable assessment is good enough

was it the wrong time to take myself off ibandronic acid?
Hello folks, feeling a bit out of my depths at the moment. I am now 5 years on prednisolone and, after discovering this wonderful forum was on a very slow tapering, got to 6.5 mgs but a bad cold followed by stressful events and I’m back to 7.5 mgs. My husband has recently been diagnosed with non-hodgkins

Can anyone help with iron panel interpretation please
This is a friend’s recent iron panel Posted a couple of days ago but hoping for a better response this time I’ve looked on rT3 adrenals where it says a low transferrin level indicates a lack of capacity for supplemental iron. I really don’t understand this when it’s clear her whole panel is low,

Rising PSA
Hi, have updated my profile to reflect recent changes. A gradual increase in PSA (1.2) with the prospect of changes to treatment if it continues at the current rate and gets near to 4. The oncologist is suggesting probably chemo but I would like to know more about other options before that discussion

chemo break
my lovely mum just finished 6 rounds of carbo caelyx after recurrring 11 months from frontline. Her mid treatment scan showed a reduction in all tumours and post 6 a further reduction. She has a cold currently and ca125 is 113. Her oncologist said he’s very happy with her and they will go back to 3

Locally Advanced PC - should I accept offer of docetaxel?
Hi I'm UK based, new to Health Unlocked and just starting to get to grips with the chats. I was diagnosed August '23 with locally advanced PV. Spread has occurred to a seminal vesicle and, very slightly, to a pelvic lymph node (Oncologist called it 'subtle') Gleason of 4+5. I immediately embarked
