Castration resistant in just a year? Normal or not? Provenge in my future.
I'm already "mildly symptomatic castration resistant." PSA tripled in the last 30 days (but still extremely low), after doubling in the prior 3 months. I was diagnosed with stage 4b (mets in multiple bones and nodes) ductal and started ADT 13 months ago. Nubeqa and Docetaxel (Triplet therapy) started

Feeling stuck
I have had breast cancer twice now, 2018 (stage 2) and 2022 (stage 1). I completed 16 rounds of chemo followed by 5 weeks of radiation over the summer. I got laid off from my job while on medical leave, and now I find myself stuck. Any tips on how to unstick myself and get the motivation to find a new

Side effects of both chemotherapy and radiation to treat CLL and lymphoma
I’m addressing seoul1949 here. First diagnosed with CLL in 2002 and then more recently with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Over the last five years I’ve had two fairly intensive bouts of chemotherapy: ABVD and COP followed up by radiation. Recent check-up about a month ago at Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto

Richters Transformation
I recently informed here that after nine therapy free years since 2014 (FCR) my CLL bounced back in 10/2022 with an DLBCL and a suspicion of Richters. Biopsy and Lab tests predicted that. Therefore I was immediately treated with R-CHOP 14 CI Therapy first in Hospital one week and then within the ambulance

best treatment after Xeloda?
I was diagnosed with MBC in Feb 2022 with bone mets. I am HER2 low ER positive. I have been on kisquali, Ibrance, Faslodex, and lastly 4 rounds of Xeloda. Nothing seems to stop my progression, Kisquali sent my liver enzymes sky high. Ibrance/Faslodex progression was slow and markers rose. Xeloda

Could I try BAT to restore sensitivity to previously used antiandrogen treatments.
I failed Abiraterone and SOC doesn't allow the switch to Enzalutamide. I was reading on the use of BAT to resensitize mCRPC. Would this be a therapy that could work or is it too late now that I have failed. I know its not SOC but I am running out of choices and looking for some clarity. Its basically

Enzalutamide any advice/tips for dealing with side effects
Stage 4 PCA for last 3 years. Had 6 cycles of Chemo and then Abiraterone for 18+ months (PSA dropped to 0.2 then more recently rose to 58 in June '23 ). Abiraterone eventually stopped working and I was able to join Radium 223 trial. Completed 5 of 6 cycles of Radium 223, then elected to stop since scans

First recurrence
Hello everyone, In May 2022 I was diagnosed with high-grade serous carcinoma, Mullerian primary, Ovarian cancer. Had 6 chemo treatments and debulking surgery. 10 months after my last chemo, I am faced with a recurrence. Can you let me know what your treatment plan was after your first recurrence?

Avastin following taxol/carbo
Hi , I have 1 more session of taxol/carbo left and my oncologist wants to discuss going onto avastin however, I'm not sure whether that is needed at this stage. I have ovarian 4b and have been debunked. My ca125 levels were 7 before the last chemo 3 weeks ago. I feel very fit and healthy.I've not had

Diet plan consultation
Has anyone got any information about diet or supplements? There was a post about berberine and 5HTP along with other medicines. My sister who is 43 years old has GBM grade 4. It was diagnosed in April 2023. She also had her tumour removed and radiotherapy in May/ June. She has hardly no feeling on her

CHAMP Trial/Small Cell Chemo Update
If you don’t feel like reading my bio, I’ll give a synopsis: My dad is only 53 with advanced metastatic PC that spread to his liver earlier this year. His PSA had been undetectable so it really threw us for a loop. My dad finished 6 sessions of carbo & etoposide chemo about 3 weeks ago. He is still randomly

Full circle with metastatic prostate cancer
I have gone full circle with my disease. Diagnosed at 52 in 2017 with PSA 100. 6 years later PSA is back to 100 with new spread of mets though out skeleton. I have done all the SOC treatments and changed diet. The cancer has found a way around it all. I have continued working through out but now I have

Stoma patient, mucus from anus
I’m seeing mucus from my anus, just this past week. I’ve had a bowel tumour that perforated in April 2023. I’m due my scan on 4th October. I have a stoma and no chemo ? I also have a hernia behind the stoma , awful pain from constant irritation on the skin surrounding the stoma? Some backache too?

Has anyone experience of weekly rather than 3 weekly chemo sessions?
I have been diagnosed with Stage 3C ovarian cancer, after finding a smallish lump in my tum in July, which is now considerably larger (20cm). A ct scan showed abnormalites in several places, and this was followed by a laparoscopy to see the extent. I was told that I would be having 3 rounds of chemo
